Seriously? They show people on the floor within the first 30 seconds of the video. I guess it’s technically “lights out” if you make people work in the dark, but I meant, and the article implied, production without jobs.

Standard .env is unencrypted, while a dotenvx .env file has plaintext keys and encrypted values. Anyone with access to the repo would also need the DOTENVX_PRIVATE_KEY variable to decrypt the env file.

One key deployed to your hosts means adding new secrets doesn't take operations effort. Also, the process uses a public/private key pair, so adding a new variable doesn't expose existing variables.

I agree. From where I'm sitting, Seedream just bent the neck while Nano Banana Pro actually shortened the neck.

Your example template and the others here are almost jsx after it's compiled (handwritten below). This jsx discussion seems more about removing the compile step, which you can do with https://github.com/developit/htm

    import { createElement as m } from "your-jsx-compatible-library";
    
    var ListComponent = () => {
      let count = 0, selected = null;
      return {
        view: ({ attrs: { items }}) =>
          m("div", null,
            m("p", null, "Clicked: " + count + " times"),
            m("ul", null, items.map((item) =>
              m("li", {
                onclick: () => { count++; selected = item; },
                style: { cursor: "pointer", color: item === selected ? "blue" : "black" },
              }, item)
            )),
            selected && m("p", null, "Selected: " + selected)
          )
      };
    };

> to get sales the company ended up moving everything into AWS because customers did not trust anything else

This is a hidden cost of self-hosting for many in b2b. It's not just convincing management, it's convincing your clients.

That's interesting. Except for $GIGANTIC_CO (like, BofA, or the government), i'd expect a SLA that describes service resiliency and not "well, our service will be up because we're on AWS".

Why would you need to disclose your hosting provider? is that really a concern for hosted services (and if it is, why isn't the customer hosting it in their cloud?)

Most customers do not want to host anything if they can prevent it. My employer was selling the servers that host the entire shebang, and most did not want to host them. We'd explain they'd save a lot by hosting and viewing/streaming everything locally, but their IT people were not comfortable, and their execs wanted to see everything on their phones when not at work. We made it all plug and play, and still they wanted to pay 10-20X more for a web service.

It also increases the cost of martyrdom.

The lessons are correct, but may be more obvious with better definitions.

"Alive" pieces remain permanent throughout the game. In both 2.16 examples, white can capture black by filling the gaps.

"Eyes" only have one space each and are fully surrounded by a single color. In both 2.16 examples. there are no eyes. Look at 2.17 with this new definition to see where the gaps are not yet eyes.

2.17 (3) is asking you to place a white piece within the black formation. This renders correctly for me in firefox.

Here's a link to a screenshot of what I see so you can see what I'm talking about: https://imgur.com/a/odDYg9K

Ah, I see. Not rendering white makes these lessons impossible.

It's interesting that the shading for the white pieces is preserved. I wonder if a dark mode extension is affecting the colors.

oooo I'm dumb lol. Yea I'm forcing dark mode

I'm glad we figured it out! Have fun.

One impact of the_mitsuhiko's second point is during debugging.

Usually if you see an id in your http logs you can simply search your database for that id. The v4 to v7 indirection creates a small inconvenience.

The mismatch may be resolved if this was available as a fully transparent database optimization.

A Postgres extension is currently in development to provide transparent database optimization with custom type uuid45 and optional helpers ;)

That would generally be nice to have. I would love to have base62 encoded IDs with prefixes but store it internally as UUID.

Not just a small inconvenience—because there's no human readable way to tell the difference between v4 and v7 IDs, you have to guess and check whether or not the ID your server process is logging is a pre-conversion or post-conversion ID

The human readable way to tell the difference is you look at whether the third group starts with a 4 or a 7.

It is really easy to tell the difference btw. You will always see "4" or "7" in the middle.

Too much time spent inside may be a problem, but FSD turns car cabins into rooms. If we're inside already, a room with a destination is often better than a stationary one.

This is true.

Now to start a tangent, what's the easier problem to solve: FSD, or a robust public transport system? Moving rooms have always been around in the form of trains, busses, streetcars etc...

Turns out, we have an answer to this: Self driving is easier. By a lot. It's not even close. No entrenched interests trying to block your infrastructure plans by claiming that your rail line passes through the territory of some flightless owl, no need to be called racist for cutting through the cheapeast land in the city to build out rails, no need to dig tunnels for subways. No need to overcome class prejudices where the middle class don't want to ride BART with the naked dude with a needle behind his ear.

To people outside the Bay, self driving might still seem like some far-off future tech. I can tell you that the future is already here. I haven't used an Uber in the last 3 years because I will always pick Waymo instead.

Fair enough. I will ask, how many billions have been spent in not only FSD but the car infrastructure that makes room for FSD investment?

I'm being slightly fanatical, but if our priorities were not car-centric in the 50's, do you think we would have spent more, or less money over the last 70 years on the transportation economy?

You're assigning decades of infrastructure costs to AVs, none of which was done with the intention of supporting them. They'd work fine on 1950s roads.

The global AV industry has taken roughly as much funding as California HSR has on its own, and less than what HSR will need to finish.

I've been doing public transit advocacy for my entire adult life. I've worked in the AV industry somewhat less than that. My advocacy has produced a couple of bike lanes and bus stops, contrasted against 3 AV launches.

I'd love to build more public transit, but experience tells me that the most effective thing I can do to support my community is AVs.

Science Vs just explored the rise in autism [0].

Maureen Durkin, an epidemiologist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, just presented a paper [1] (currently in peer review) studying 8 year olds from 2000 to 2016, categorizing and counting autism severity over time. The most severe cases were unchanged, or decreased, and the largest change was in those with no measurable functional limitations.

This unpublished paper suggests that identification of children with milder symptoms is the strongest driver.

[1] "Trends in the Prevalence of Autism By Adaptive Level between 2000-2016: Evidence from a Population-Based Sample of 8-Year-Old Children in the United States" S. M. Furnier and M. S. Durkin

They should follow them into the job market and see the effects as an adult for those with "no measurable functional limitations".

The category doesn't imply those cases are no-ops. It's used to highlight the sensitivity of our diagnostics.

On the podcast, Durkin frames improved detection as a positive, because it means people will get the care they need.

Lol. Wasn’t there some autism fad in tiktok?
