For examples of Real Modern Farming™ documented on youtube that's bringing in a bit of extra cash and sponsership but is very much riding on a pre existing lifestyle .. see (say) Merrett Contracting

For similar, but documenting tree farming life in NZ there's Marty T .. which is almost 100% field fixing and shed restoring old tractors, bulldozers, excavators, and any bit of machinery related activity that might be useful in a rural setting - power from hydro, building rafts to move machinery, etc.
Yeah OpenWebUI is great with local models too. I love it. You can even do a combo, send the same prompt to local and cloud and even various providers and compare the results.
Very cool. I was trying to find some places that should be there but aren't or some that shouldn't but are and didn't find any, so good job. Did you only use gpt to extract place names or did you do some other checking as well?
btw the embed feature is amazing.

Yeah it makes more sense now.

First I was looking at the Axum integration example https://github.com/thepartly/gatehouse/blob/a3b46bcb37353cb5... where they do the simulated I/O first and then do a policy check that consists only of business logic without any I/O as far as I could tell

https://github.com/thepartly/gatehouse/blob/a3b46bcb37353cb5...

Because there from what I could see, all decisions made by the policies are based on properties read from the user, resource and action objects that were already retrieved in full by the application before it did the call to evaluate access.

So from that and looking over the framework itself I was wondering why evaluating access was an async function, when all of the data I saw it use was retrieved before doing the actual access evaluation itself.

But after reading your comment I then had a look at some of the other examples, and found for example the ReBAC policy example https://github.com/thepartly/gatehouse/blob/a3b46bcb37353cb5... which does seem to be written like it demonstrates I/O such as DB lookups during the access evaluation itself.

It kind of seems to me now then, that the sort of usage of the framework they demonstrate in the Axum integration would typically not do I/O during access evaluation, even for a production grade app. Whereas the kind of usage they demonstrate in the ReBAC example would. And that the reason for involving async is to facilitate the sort of usage they do in the ReBAC example and that it is sort of incidental then that even when you use it in a way that would work for production without I/O during access evaluation, like in the Axum integration example, you still end up with the access evaluation being an async function. Because they are doing a framework that also has to support the ReBAC example kind of usage they have the trait for access evaluation async.

And in turn this probably makes it so that you could start using the framework with the sort of access evaluation that is not doing I/O itself (like in the Axum integration), and then you still have flexibility for later to drop in one that does (like in the ReBAC example) without having to change too much in the parts of your code where you were calling the access evaluation from the beginning.

I could see some value in that. At the same time, assuming my above understanding is correct, it also does seem like in some cases one might end up pulling in a framework that is more flexible than one really needs, if one starts out with using it in the way like in the Axum integration example and then later finds out that one ended up not needing much more beyond what one could do with that.

And because I myself don't yet have advanced needs like in the ReBAC example, I'm not sure if a framework like this would really benefit me. Or if I'd be better off finding a more basic framework for doing authorization in my own server programs.

Of course, I could be misunderstanding the whole thing still :P
Uh, also heart attack / stroke. (We're talking about anabolic steroids, right?)
Yeah this sounds like the more secure option, you don't want to be dependent on a single flaw in a web service
I usually go through manuals if I’m worried about something specific. There’s no need to rely on reviews when you can get an answer directly from the manufacturer.

Jeff shows manual explicitly saying when you need an app, so this could have been avoided.
Bosch knows how to perfect asshole design.

On some of their ovens there is a secret key sequence (like game cheat) to get the buttons working again. Every 6 months you need to do this otherwise pay for a service call to do this. Or have a defunct oven.

But it is not public info they have released (but had been leaked on YT)

So they have software with a bug and a workaround they won't tell you about. Ideally they should recall these ovens and pay for a replacement install.
The mental cost of going there is just too high. For the first time in twenty+ years, I won't be attending any of the regular conferences in the US this year. Funny note: we just hired two Americans (unrelated) back to back, they will be moving here with their family. Reason given: "had to go live somewhere else".
A lot of policies are also about accessing IO in the first place. So I feel like this tracks.
>…all but guaranteeing their followers keep rationalizing their actions with a litany of talking points rather than understanding any criticism said by someone on the "other" team

To me, the one-sided right wing media bubble seems to be the root of how we got here in the first place. It allows politicians to avoid any and all accountability for their actions. Popular rule cannot function in this environment, and if it continues, nothing will stand in the way of this administration destroying what’s left of the country.
Assuming you're American, your state's attorney general office is responsible for consumer complaints.

It's free to file an issue, and in most cases you'll get a direct response. The issue here is product fails to perform as expected, and resolution is that the manufacturer remove the unit at their cost and give you a full refund.

Arranging an alternative purchase is your issue.

And contact your local news media as well. They love stories, particularly if there's existing footage they can air. VNRs (video news releases), the original "fake news" became a hot item in the 1990s Because Reasons. And you've already got the footage and audio.
What is the risk? It seems very small to me.
There’s plenty of Bosch models that don’t have this “feature” — he just bought the crappy one
> the US shifted the goalposts to claim victory here

On the one hand, yes absolutely.

On the other hand -- which is more exciting? The "space race" of getting the first man in space and back, or the "moon race" of getting the first man on the moon and back?

I think it's fair to say the "moon race" was a far greater event in human history, to set foot on another world. Yes, the US shifted the goalposts... but at the same time the new goalposts seem like the more momentous event in human history. Think of how people across the world tuned in for live TV footage of the moon landing.
Are you in the process of creating tasks that behave as an acid test for AGI? If not, do you think such a task is feasible? I read somewhere in the ARC blog that they define AGI as when creating tasks that is hard for AI but easy for humans becomes virtually impossible.

These comments made me realize my viewpoints surrounding this issue are heavily based on the American legal system being very binary, with the majority of tech companies going all or nothing. Appeal your way up to the supreme court, and pray for the all.

We are going to be replacing our dishwasher in the next year and Bosch is off my list for now. I’m a little afraid I’ll find out that a dishwasher wanting engagement is the new normal.

Our current dishwasher is a GE and it does a great job washing dishes, but has developed a few quirks that leads me to believe we are living on borrowed time.
Myostatin inhibitor mechanisms [1] [2] [3].

I see this pathway, GLP-1 successors, and rewriting adipose tissue memory [4] [5] as the holy grail of weight loss, muscle gain, and weight/composition management with little effort.

Yeah, misrepresentation is basic contract law stuff that would be generally valid in the US too, but:

1. there's probably no evidence of it

2. the workers at the store will deny it

3. the workers at the store likely have no grasp of contract law and will insist on whatever their store policy is

4. hiring a lawyer to return a dishwasher is a waste of time for most anyone knowledgable enough to know that this is a valid legal issue
I think this impulse is actually pretty simple and doesn't need to resort to high level cultural politics to understand it (though I agree that culture comes into play too). I think it's mostly two things:

1. We crave tactile skillful experiences

We have thousands of years of evolution that encourage us to want to use our bodies skillfully. We're a tool-using species and humans that didn't derive some intrinsic satisfaction from manipulating the physical world deftly probably didn't survive long enough to make babies.

It just straight up feels good to watch ones own hands turn a piece of wood into a utensil, a hank of yarn into a wearable garment, or a patch of dirt into edible vegetables.

2. We want to feel resourceful and secure

We have emotions like anxiety and worry to get us to prepare for the future. Of course, we can't fully predict the future, so part of that is a general feeling of resourcefulness. "I don't know what's coming, but I know I can handle it when it does."

Working in tech is in many ways the opposite of that. We're like hothouse flowers or thoroughbred racehorses. We are fantastically good at this one specific thing that happens to be highly valued right now. But there's an underlying anxiety that if the world stops needing more software... what's our plan B?

You don't have to go full apocalyptic prepper mentality to have a gnawing worry in the back of your head that if this whole software thing doesn't work out, what else am I good for?

A craving for manual skills that transcend trends, time, and specific corporate employment is a natural hedge against that frightening level of specialization.
Maybe this is a really stupid question but I've been curious... are LLMs based on... "Neuronormativity"? Like, what neurology is an LLM based on? Would we get any benefit from looking at neurodiverse processing styles?
So far as I can tell, yes. Plus they do have occasional sponsors, plus a bit of swag.

Few of us can replicate their energy and resourcefulness.
Jeffrey Goldberg on being added to the group chat by Trump Administration
I really appreciate you taking the time to write this all out for me. I’ve read through it several times now with a couple breaks between.

If I were to summarize, it’s about enjoying the process rather than the result. Much easier said than done, but the ideal goal. The thing that keeps me and people like me from enjoying the process is the constant background of “is this going to be worth it”. Perhaps just the awareness of seeing this happening in real time could help in cutting short that enjoyment-blocker. To call it out and label it as such.

I’m not looking for a response from you, but wanted to take the time to thank you for writing this all out.
That's religion, not a predictive theory.

The Bitter Lesson has held up in a lot of domains where injecting human inductive bias was detrimental. Adding LIDAR for example is not inductive bias - it's a strictly superior form of sensing. You won't call a wolf's sense of smell "hand engineered features" or a cat's reflexes a failure of evolution to extract more signal from an inferior sensory input.

Waymo will win because they want to make a product that works and not be ideological about it - that's ultimately what matters.

During my last year in University, professors went on a strike for two months iirc. People complained, but ultimately hunkered down and studied independently (imo what you’re supposed to be doing in Uni anyways). Surprise surprise, the graduating rate for that year was unaffected.

If you were going to fail a degree because of missing a couple classes, you’re having more serious issues to worry about
I can sorta understand unis - their primary function is to educate not actively regulate

More surprising is how fast and easily the actual checks and balances are being disabled. Executive branch has basically neutered the other two

I entirely agree. Just understand that this also happened to pro-Palestinian students or those perceived to be (nationwide, I am not talking about Columbia)
They have USB thumb drives for sequencing DNA nowadays: https://nanoporetech.com/products/sequence/minion You can use that toy to find out pretty much everything about anybody. This is just a technological paradigm shift that's happening. What made 23andMe different is that (a) they got YOUR consent, (b) they made the information useful to YOU. So no one here should blame the people trying to help. It's always the people trying to help who face the backlash of reactionary fear and anger. Since reactionaries never ask themselves what they're not seeing.
Lol I knew this was possible!
I really love this answer and I'm definitely stealing some of it for not only my own inspiration but something to consider when hiring.

I've never heard of this concept before, which seems strange because I feel it applies so much to be a natural sentiment after reading it. I've had the 'feeling' something like this was at play but never knew how to define it. I'm curious, are there any specific books or lecture or any material that brought you to that clarity or is it just experience ?
vote for better regulations. Capitalism doesnt care about your actual needs. They just raise the costs to offset the loss of "poor" consumers.
Will do! :)

Ascutney is great -- I definitely recommend starting from the Brownsville trailhead, there's an oddly beautiful view partway up where the abandoned mining operation has some remaining tracks leading out along a thin little cliff and you get an incredible view of all the fields and forest because of the rocks that blocking the trees from growing beneath the cliffside.
Another potential reason it was never scaled up to carts is they didn't have access to a great draft animal candidate. Without that early carts are a lot less useful. The largest options were llamas or alpacas which are still fairly small and weak as draft animals go. The nearest option would have been buffalo in North America but they don't have great base temperaments for domesticating and they're not geographically relevant to South America even if they were.
Really, "cottagecore"?

I'm surprised nobody else has said it yet, but this name is ridiculous and probably at least partially why this post isn't being taken all that seriously.

There's no relationship - tower of interpreters is related to lightweight modular staging

This is just lisp or more broadly "I'm an interpreted language" since you know... Python has access to much of its interpreter runtime too . And if you think you can't do wild stuff in Python you can (hint: you can use ctypes on libpython to do way more than you think you can do).

Congress hasn't been neutered, the majority in both houses is ideologically aligned with and cooperating with the executive power grab because of that ideological alignment.

> Europeans seem much more collectivist, whereas the US is more individualist. That's why Europeans express disdain for US policies around healthcare, guns, etc.

The US is plenty collectivist. Patriots who put country first and would die for it? That's collectivism. Someone who puts their family ahead of themselves? Also collectivism.

One should disdain the US healthcare system not because it isn't "collectivist" (there's nothing particularly individualistic about insurance), but because it's horrifically inefficient. The US government spends more money on healthcare per capita than anywhere in Europe (or Canada or any developed country), yet only manages to cover half the population leaving the other half to spend even more money for private insurance.

If a bunch of students stop me from going to the classes that I am paying for, I deserve to be upset. I want to learn and take advantage of the special opportunity I have. On a side note, if professors don't teach for 2 months and students do just as well, that is not a good look for the professors who are asking for more money.
Oof. Did the Bundestag recently get promoted to be a manager?

Like, sure—I can download a new ringtone for my dishwasher… but you know what the dumbest thing about internet-connected appliances is?

I still can’t set my oven clock without doing some weird finger kung-fu combo. Why? WHY?? Why can’t it just sync with my phone or, I don’t know, the internet—like literally every other clock on every other device does now?

And don’t even get me started on the range hood. Why can’t I have the light turn on automatically, say, an hour after sundown? Or have the fan kick in when the gas turns on? That would actually be useful! But nope—no timer, no automation. The only feature my Wi-Fi-enabled range hood has is pure, unfiltered disappointment.

Or take my fridge. Why can’t it send me a photo of what’s inside while I’m at the grocery store? Or tell me how often (and when) I open the door every day? I know it’s tracking that data—just show me a copy instead of feeding it straight to Zuck!

Honestly, the features these things come with right now are all pretty much useless. And the worst part? Leaving them connected means someone could just push a kill command one day that bricks my garbage disposal. “Oh, profits are down this quarter? Time to end-of-life that model from 6 months ago!”

> It feels very Sisyphean at times I suppose, in a way that making a physical product and then seeing someone use it or eat it really doesn't.

An ex-manager had a phrase that stuck with me, that we are building the factories. Ultimately software gets used to do something, there are lots little "products" being emitted each time it is used. If you are looking at physical products on the shelf, people don't normally think "who fixes the factory that built this when something goes wrong? who makes the factory more efficient so the producer doesn't go bankrupt? who changes the factory when a new design needs to be produced?". This kind of work is rather ephemeral and Sisyphean by nature, so sometimes I like to remind myself that there are these tangible products people rely on but they are just a layer removed. (Nowadays I'm two layers removed - I build a factory to build factories, i.e. compilers and platforms and such).

(This particular business line essentially processed data - it was much more complicated than that but fundamentally was remote-sensing -> data-in -> data-out, so the "data factory" metaphore kinda made sense in that setting).
