I expect I'd have to hand feed them steps, at which point I imagine the LLM will also do much better.

> CI files are NOT in the project's repository

I don't use sourcehut, but interpreting what you wrote I'd argue this is an antifeature and would be a dealbreaker for me. CI typically evolves with the underlying code and decoupling that from the code makes it difficult to go backwards. It loses cohesion.

I have been through the healthcare systems of Brazil (private) and Sweden (public). I can say that private healthcare is only strictly better if you pay out of pocket, not through insurance.

Public healthcare is FAR more efficient though, I am always amazed how _fast_ doing exams in Sweden are. Like my doctor asked me to take an MRI, put it in the system, scheduled an appointment within a week for me automatically and I was in and out of an MRI clinic in 20 minutes (and I was attended to exactly on time of my appointment) all of that just using my ID card. Bloodwork is usually drop-in so I can just go directly from the doctor without an appointment.

In Brazil with private healthcare I would have to find the MRI clinic myself and see which one was covered by my insurance and try to get an appointment within a reasonable time (by calling multiple clinics). And when getting there I would probably have to wait at least an hour to actually get the MRI done. That is if insurance didn't contest the need for it in the first place. And god forbid I forget to bring the insurance paperwork with me.

Oh yeah, in Brazil I also need to personally go pickup the MRI and personally bring it to the doctor and do another visitation, while in Sweden it is all digital and the doctor just called me on the phone to tell me the results.

My father took ~4 months to schedule a life-saving cancer surgery, insurance kept contesting the surgery. My partners mother in Sweden had cancer surgery approved and done in less than 10 days.

Yes the care in Sweden is usually worse than in Brazil private. I wouldn't say it is so much about doctor quality, more about doctors feeling a bit rushed to see patients. But it is so much faster and easier. Usually you need fast care, not personalized care. And of course a lot of things are just not covered in the Swedish public system (for example some skincare problems) that could be covered in some private in Brazil.

The only thing better about the Brazilian clinics was that some of them had marble floor on the lobby while the Sweden ones usually had concrete floors or tiles.

Overall I prefer the Swedish system much better than the private Brazilian system.

If ActivityPub had actually portable identities, you would be able to move instances without losing/moving your handle.

You as an user might have moved servers, but your identity did not.

How can we make an analogy? Let's say that you want to have a domain and you are hosting it on some cheap VPS provider. You just take your data, upload to their server and point the domain to their IP address. Let's say that six months later the cheap VPS goes down and you completely lose access to the server. You want to move. What do you do? You sign up to another VPS provider, upload your data (assuming you have backups) and you simply change the DNS to point to the IP address of the new server.

If you want to do that anything like that with ActivityPub, you can only do it at the server level. If you are a "mere" user on instance mastodon.one you do not own, you are at the mercy of the admin. You can not take "genewitch@mastodon.one" and use it as a handle anywhere else. Conversely, you can not go to mastodon.social and sign up with your own domain or any other method of authentication. The only way they can serve anything for you is if you use the handle they assigned you.

With ATProto, identity is based on DIDs (decentralized identifiers), so you can change your PDS without having to change your identity. You can have a handle under your own control and tell Bluesky to host it for you, and you don't need to ask permission to them in case you change your mind and decide to move elsewhere.

> somehow the appraisal was always right at the offer price or ~5-7k above.

Yes, this is pretty normal. Contrary to popular belief, appraisers don't have any sort of special data or processes that allow them to determine the exact value of a house in any given market (because such a value does not exist). An appraiser is working for the bank and simply serves as a risk mitigation officer. Their job is not to answer "what is this house worth?", it's to answer "is the deal you're lending money on within reasonable bounds?". So when the appraisal value comes in at or around the sale price - it's just a simple "Yes". And when it comes in somewhere else, it's a "No".

There is generally zero incentive for an appraiser to inflate prices (today, this was not always true in the past).

The housing market is vast and complex, without question. And still, the reason that prices go up is overwhelmingly the simple fact that buyers are willing and able to pay those prices.

> Earth and everything living on it will be long dead by then

How do you know? It's not far fetched to think that, if humans don't go extinct in the meantime, they will continue to find ways to shape the world according to their needs. By the time the Sun goes red giant, we may well have found a way to alter the orbit of Earth. By the time the Sun goes supernova, we may be able to move to another star. Who knows.

But let's not get distracted. We need to tackle climate change first. That's our first self-made extinction challenge.

Really it's the other way round: all the generators have safety trips and can disappear from the grid in a short time if required, but it's uneconomic to do so. Which is why you get things like wind farm curtailment payouts; they're part of the weird set of compromises between spot market and long-term (necessarily central!) capacity planning.

"Tracking" is pretty vague and trying to stop it is just unenforceable, unlike "selling personal information" which is very clear and what GPC and the CCPA and GDPR cover.

It's long overdue.

I’d love for someone more informed to provide some insider detail, but by appearances Oracle really, really tried to make SPARC a differentiator for them after the Sun acquisition.

They were shipping new systems (M8) based on a consistent in-house evolution of SPARC almost 8 years after the acquisition, a veritable eternity in tech time.

Eventually the market just said, no, we want x64 and a path to Cloud.

In other words STPA is a design review framework for finding some less obvious failure modes. FMEA is more popular but relies on making a list of all of the knowable failure modes in a system, but the failure modes you haven’t thought of don’t make it on the list. STPA helps fill in some of those gaps of failure modes you haven’t thought of.

Belief is generally not insightful or useful by definition.

Then again, I don't think anyone who can follow this article believed that LLMs were conscious to begin with, so I'm not sure what your point is. You're preaching on behalf of a demographic that won't read this article to begin with, and presumably the people who are can see how useless, distracting, and unproductive this reductionism is.

Completely agree. Keeping CI logic in actual code instead of YAML is a lifesaver. The GitHub Actions security issues just reinforce why self-hosted runners are the way to go.

I've used nuke.build for this in the past. This makes it nice for injecting environment variables into properties and for auto-generating CI YAML to wrap the main commands, but it is a bit of a pain when it comes to scaling the build. E.g. we did infrastructure as code using Pulumi, and that caused the build code to dramatically increase to the point the Nuke script became unwieldy. I wish we had gone the plain C# CLI app from the beginning.

"Perfect is the enemy of good", but the effort around making informed choice makes not using password managers seem better.

It could be a measure of each candidate's difference (in diversity points) from the overall cohort, which is an approximation of how much the diversity of the group will change by accepting/rejecting this candidate.

But that seems hard to implement - you'd have to recalculate this for every candidate every time you got a new candidate - so perhaps we can implement an optimization: approximate this by estimating the distribution of the group and measuring differences from some centroid.

JetBrains' State of Developer Ecosystem Report 2024

I also think the same - a to-do app will not help. Specially if you plan to add deadline information, difficulty and value scores. These will turn into distractions themselves which will require thinking and making decisions about.
Yea I believe that. In my state (Georgia) the randomization rules only came about after the '08 crash. I come from a family of appraisers, oddly enough, so I have an unusual amount of insight into the industry for a simple software engineer. Prior to the new rules my family's company had a set of clients (banks) that they would get business from, and they had to reach out and do marketing/sales/shmoozing to get new clients, like any other service business.

After the new rules, banks just bid for an appraisal into a black box and it gets fulfilled ~randomly. The family rolodex became pretty useless. So the playing field was leveled, and it's certainly a fairer process with better overall results for homeowners, but it also kind of neutered the whole appraisal industry since there's not really a good way to compete anymore.

Kind of going on a tangent here, but the appraisal industry is one of those "silver haired" industries that is not able to replace it's older workers who are retiring. It's unclear what the future holds for appraisals, but it seems inevitable that there will be some sort of pivotal change in the industry in the next decade or so.
But here the meaning of "rule" is not "straightedge", but rather the derived meaning "a thin printed line or dash". So "ruler" would be improper because that word doesn't have the typographical meaning.

There are two competing definitions of agents being used in industry.

https://www.anthropic.com/engineering/building-effective-age...

"- Workflows are systems where LLMs and tools are orchestrated through predefined code paths.

- Agents, on the other hand, are systems where LLMs dynamically direct their own processes and tool usage, maintaining control over how they accomplish tasks."

What Anthropic calls a "workflow" in the above definition is what most of the big enterprise software companies (Salesforce, ServiceNow, Workday, SAP, etc.) are building and calling AI Agents.

What Anthropic calls an "agent" in the above definition is what AI Researchers mean by the term. It's also something that mainly exists in their labs. Real world examples are fairly primitive right now, mainly stuff like Deep Research. That will change over time, but right now the hype far exceeds the reality.
I don't that's the kind of gotcha you imply it is. Of course radiation is somehow involved in everything, it's what keeps matter together. We also read off the measurements with our eyeballs, and even if you used some sort of braille system, touching things boils down to EM interaction. The primary probe here is gravitational, any musings beyond that are of little value. I challenge you to even conceive an experiment where your own objection wouldn't apply.

> Because security is not only about being protected from intrusion, but also about being able to securely access data at any time and in any circumstances.

This felt like the author bending over backwards to justify their choice. They find 2FA less convenient and conflate it with being less secure. It’s not the same thing.

It’s OK to say “not all my accounts are equally important and I need to access some of them in situations where 2FA and complex passwords aren’t worth it”. It’s not OK to sell the idea that 2FA does not generally offer security.

This reminded me of the “SEO expert” a few years back which was trying to convince everyone, with wrong information, to not use HTTPS (which, I realise only after writing this, the author’s website also doesn’t use).

Planetary System Found Around Nearest Single Star
I never owned a car, I commute to work in an e-bike and most other places I go to. It is usually faster than car (if you account parking) or public transport.

Since I got an e-bike I haven't bought a single month public-transport cards, I maybe take the metro/bus 4-10 times per month (depends a lot on the weather). The bike paid itself several times over since I got it around 2019.

Me and my partner manage to save a lot of money per month, even though we just bought a new, very expensive (because it is close to downtown) apartment with a huge mortgage by just living close to place we go to, not having a car and using the e-bike.

From your description all would easily fit into RAM and full-scan searches across all records will be fast enough. Browsers hardly sweat reading 200MB data files. No need for indexes, optimized storage, compression or special query languages. Unless you'd worry about scale (managing the same for 1000 people). It's a luxury of modern hardware.
I think databases or similar data stores will remain, but for many projects looking at performance or small memory footprint will no longer matter. I've used Postgresql for tiny projects (all in docker containers) because it was convenient.
