I'm not sure what point you are making here.

Near immediate moderation of alcohol consumption in many people who are taking this drug has nothing to do with what or how much they eat. It is altering the brain function in some way.

I can't read the article but I have kept up with the almost daily revelations about this class of drugs so I have an idea of what its about. I am truly hopeful for the kinds of society wide changes it promises to bring about.

We seem to be rapidly approaching an inflection point, brought on by the compounding distributors such as Hims, that will need to be resolved: there are probably more people on the compounded version of this drug than most suspect and that number is growing by the tens of thousands every day. Meanwhile, Norvo Nordisk is trying to shut down this channel of distribution. That would be a bad idea and I think the FDA must be aware of that. This conflict between NN and the compounders needs to be resolved.

Personally I think the promise of this drug makes it a moral issue and have little sympathy for NNs position here: they will need to capitulate on their control over it and accept some kind of suboptimal pricing agreement. The potential positive outcomes of this drug supersedes their sole claim to it IMO.

> I was expecting a section at the end where they demonstrate which services need a new language written just for it's configuration, but nope, just general examples.

Heh that was my first instinct as to why they built this as well but more for providing ergonomic ways to generate k8s objects for complex gitlab specific CRDs.

Not to be pendantic, but if we are talking white-tailed deer, it depends on the population characteristics of the area you are hunting. In many places in the US the game management departments would probably prefer multiple doe if you have more than 1 tag.

Additionally if you are hunting for sustenance, as in you really need the meat, then you take the first deer you can find. Waiting for the ideal deer is a good way to not end with a deer at all, regardless of whether you have them on camera or not.

Oh duh, yeah you are right. I had swapped RF and IR in my head for some reason when I was scanning the project page and thought this was somehow picking up signals based off noise from the sensor. Might be time for bed for me.

What is the sensitivity/range? I've always wanted something like this to carry in the woods to detect game/trail cameras. Not for any nefarious purpose, but to get an idea of how surveilled the woods are.

Did the work that WM Labs did influence the Sams club mobile experience? It (the app) is so much better than Costco and is one of the reasons I still pay for a Sams membership even though Costco has now moved into my area.

I am starting to notice more and more unit tests in my org are written by AI -- I'm guessing usually after the implementation. I know this because I have, guiltily, done it and can tell when someone else has done it as well. I don't think anything can be done about this technically so it probably needs to be something discussed socially within the team.

I wonder if any of those Primus stoves they relied on are down there with it.

Interesting. This might be the first one I've ever read. Makes sense though and that was the vibe I got from sections: that this is more like an opening statement in ways.

> One such company that relied on Defendants’ promises was WPE, founded in 2010. WPE is a true champion of WordPress, devoting its entire business to WordPress over other similar open source platforms. In reliance on Defendants’ many promises, WPE invested hundreds of millions of dollars and 14 years of hard work building a successful business to serve that community—only to see the petulant whims of Mullenweg inflict harm to its business and the community that has embraced it.

Is lawsuit language usually so... dramatic? The tone of this document is weird...

I enjoyed using elisp and common lisp for the years that I spent in emacs and stumpwm but it always made me chuckle when I'd read some comment or blog post proclaiming that learning lisp is somehow like ascending to a higher plane of developer consciousness. I feel like that sentiment was really high around the late 00's and early 10's for some reason, but also it may have been because that's when I used it most.

If you've ever worked in an org that has to be SOX (Sarbanes-Oxley Act) compliant, then you are familiar with a bunch of what's happening in this video. So much of your data, infra, and internal tools have to be gated by authorization and access logging tools -- so employees are constantly requesting access to the tools they need to get their work done.

These requests can be granted manually or automatically but they need to be logged and stored. Sometimes requests are required for every single access of a tool and sometimes it's time period based (24 hour access to Redshift or whatever) -- usually this depends on your role in an org. There isn't a coherent out-of-the-box way to provide the authorization and access gateways across all the different tools a business relies on -- so there is a big business opportunity for companies to basically provide turnkey identity and access management tools for companies.

Or, occasionally, an engineer loses their mind with the inefficiencies of these systems and processes and goes off on a jag to create the perfect internal tool to solve all these problems. That rarely (if ever) works, hence the video.

Same here, satellite messaging alone is enough to get me on this upgrade cycle. Beyond that though I am quite content with my 11 Pro, though I am looking forward to some of the AI stuff.

Over the summer I have had about half a dozen conversations with people who work in non-technical fields (university administration, healthcare, government administration, teachers, etc) who are furtively using ChatGPT to augment their communication tasks. There is a hushed-tones quality to them admitting it.

I suspect the rate of individualized adoption of AI augmented writing is well beyond what a casual observer here on HN would think it is.

I also share Chiang's worry about this:

> We are entering an era where someone might use a large language model to generate a document out of a bulleted list, and send it to a person who will use a large language model to condense that document into a bulleted list. Can anyone seriously argue that this is an improvement?

I do not think OpenAI Et al. set out to create a self-perpetuating slop machine like this but it sure feels like this is where it is going. For individuals it improves their life I guess but when zoomed out there is something quite dystopian about it.

> Its initial argument, that AI tools don't produce art because they offer meaningfully fewer knobs and dials to creators than a camera

Chiang is not saying this at all. I'm not sure how you interpreted it this way.

> I run SmartTube on my dirt-cheap Amazon FireTV and don't get a single ad when browsing. Subtotal is $0.00 for the installation and usage of Open Source software.

I have YT Premium and it works perfectly on every device I have and I have never had to configure anything nor research anything to not see an ad. I only vaguely understand some of the phrases or words you are using (have no clue what a newpipe is, but kind of understand what sideloading) is. I do not care to ever fiddle with my devices, there are more important or at least gratifying things in this world then futzing around with and tweaking devices.

> Paying for YouTube Premium is your eternal reward for submission to the Walled Garden.

If this is the great battle you have chosen to wage with your precious, fleeting time on earth, by all means, go with God -- but a lot of people really don't give a damn about Walled Gardens.

Can you enumerate the claims you are claiming are directly contradicted?

> A lot of high-level ORM frameworks simply save all the objects' fields on update, without doing fine-grained diffs.

Perhaps that is true... I'm a Rails dev and ActiveRecord definitely tracks mutations on the object and selectively updates.

I would assume this is consistent with Django and I'd assume a policy is probably required to be specified by SQLAlchemy.

Yeah, makes sense. To write safe code though at that point don't you have to enforce rigid schemas?

An example would be updating Kubernetes resources, the admission controller will verify the correctness of the change you are trying to make and reject the patch if it's non-comformant. Nested values have... value... in terms of contextualizing and isolating/localizing data leaves but at the end of the day aren't you still dealing with strict schemas and, when those schemas change you have to reconcile schema migrations?

> We use optimistic versioning, with a dedicated "version" field (that is actually always pulled out of the blob in all tables).

All well and good but you do need to handle failures elegantly in code. The nice thing about flat DB tables and SQL is you don't really have to care if your goal is to update a single column authoritatively. The state of the other values in the table are, often, immaterial. It gets even more complicated reconciling deeply nested conflicts in open schemas.

Not knocking your approach, it's just a trade-off I guess.

Do you go to the trouble of updating individual values in objects using some kind of deep/partial updating function or do you just accept race conditions that come with updating full objects?

Oh they definitely cater to the local market. Here is a costco in Mountain View: https://www.reddit.com/r/Costco/comments/1dk2pfo/not_a_wine_...

They also sell kind of strange (compared to the bags of doritos) stuff periodically, which I love. For instance the Costco in Maine (of all places) has Bird Nest Soup and NordeX PIKNIK cheese in a can. Kind of apropos of nothing. It's pretty cool.

Two couples = two cards (at most) in my experience. Some people are really particular about bills though. Did you split evenly or itemize the bills?

I agree. I've thought about POCing some ractor usage for actual CPU bound workloads but ultimately it would be an academic exercise and most of our engineers aren't even thinking about the code performance on that level.

My beef, if you will, with async (and I realize now I was a little loose in making the distinction between async and fibers) is that engineers reach for async because they are intimidated by threaded code. Instead they are used to the ergonomics of async/await in the browser and think it's basically the same with the async library in ruby and is somehow immune to the considerations you have to make when spawning a thread. This just isn't true. The dragons are mostly the same, or at least they are in our code base.

I work on a large multi-threaded ruby code base and it's always a pain to deal with engineers introducing the async usage in it. Most of the time these engineers don't have a grasp on what fibers are good for and we have to painstakingly review their code and provide feedback that no, it's not magical concurrency, we have a limited number of fix sized connection pools for postgres, redis, memcache, etc available in the process and fibers have to respect those limits as much as threaded code. In fact it's better if you don't introduce any additional concurrency below the thread-per-request model if you can. Only in places like concurrent http calls do we allow some async/fiber usage but even then it ends up nominally looking like threaded code and the VM context switching time saved by using fibers instead of threads is trivial. Trying to use fibers instead of threads in typical CRUD workloads feels a little cargo culty to me.

Fibers are cool and performant but usually they should be limited to lightweight work with large concurrency requirements.

A charitable reading of this would be that he means this within the scope of Facebook itself. In the preceding paragraph he talking about Facebook being built by millennials and it's utility, product evolution and comms reflecting their life changes, so it's possible he is talking about how to separate himself out from it's evolution in that direction so people just don't think "facebook is doing this thing because zuck is getting older" and instead see it as a reflection of the journey of the people that build the company.

But I dunno, he may just actually believe he's the most famous millennial ever. He's up there but I don't know how one could ever quantify that.
