Tigris (an object storage provider, I have no affiliation) also uses FoundationDB for storing metadata:

I also did this to get lunch for free in high school from 2008-2010. I don’t remember how many hours a week it was (it was definitely less than 10). The shifts were prep work in the morning, serving lunch, or doing dishes. Each shift was at most an hour. It was pretty fun since it was with my friends at school.

This is something that a small LLM handles quite well. I’m using one to normalize MTA delay reports so I can aggregate stuff in a sane way.

It'd be interesting if they added this to the standard questionnaire - does your dwelling have sprinklers? ... oh and how many watt-hours do you have in battery storage?

I see this is written in Perl, is that the case with most Debian tooling?

It’s the appropriate language for a news organization. Making the language more charged doesn’t change the facts that they are presenting and it’s what I want as a subscriber.

I can't imagine anything worse than that.

His profile has contact information.

Can't wait to see the VFX breakdown /s

I'd be interested to see your rates for margin if you do decide to offer margin.

I don't use the margin to get more market exposure. I treat it as a lower APR credit card with a sizable credit limit. Interactive Brokers will charge me 6% instead of 20+% of a typical credit card. I don't use it much, but I like having it. I don't know if it makes business sense to offer lower margin rates than IBKR to retail customers, but I'd be interested. Before someone lectures me: I consider 10% of my holdings to be my "credit limit".

Hopefully it does, because the drivers that don't stop are just driving blind and won't see the waymo.

I switched from apples to oranges and never looked back.

How does this compare to the log structured virtual disk concept from this paper? It sounds quite similar at a glance.

Related to culture, I moved to Austin in 2012 and that was the first time I saw a restaurant advertising that their water had no fluoride.

Amazing setup, thanks for the write-up! My dream house if I was rich would have a LAN party room like this (plus a mini fridge stocked with Bawls Guarana). Stretch goal would be a movie theater like Brandon Sanderson has in his lair.

That could be an article title from either the Onion or the WSJ Opinion section.

I won't buy a device with cameras slapped all over it either. But anyone fearmongering over this has not thought through what it would take to do this at scale and really consider how this is worthwhile over existing tracking methods. The amount of compute required to squeeze useful targeting data out of hours of video is just not cost-effective compared to the plentiful data from your activity on a phone or laptop. In all your examples, the same signal would be visible from online activity that is practically guaranteed to be there.

It’s exactly like that. You get a mirrored display in portrait mode. It’ll rotate if you disable orientation lock and hold it in landscape.

I got the prescription inserts for the xreal air 2 pro. They were a little more expensive than I would’ve liked ($150 plus $40 because I need -8 SPH) but I have somewhat severe myopia.

When traveling, the Xreal Air 2 glasses are fantastic for watching video or playing games on your switch or steam deck. It’s light and comfortable, the FOV is good enough IMO, and the image quality is pretty solid (plus it’s using OLED). They don’t have to be charged at all and you don’t stand out as much as if you were wearing a full headset.

Yeah I would be tempted to take that offer and I like my job a lot. But I wouldn’t mind a nice long paid break either.

> It's a very relevant fact that Greg Brockman recently left on his own volition.

Except that isn’t true. He has not resigned from OpenAI. He’s on extended leave until the end of the year.

That could become an official resignation later, and I agree that that seems more likely than not. But stating that he’s left for good as of right now is misleading.

Yeah BYU's rules are pretty strict. I don't think I would run an exit node using property from the same university that requires a waiver just to have a beard: https://honorcode.byu.edu/beard-waivers

I fear that it might not be that difficult for Russia to arrange for his suicide to take place while in prison.

It's not. Why should the back of the house pay more on taxes just because they don't get tips?

Sucks to see it end like this. I like having physical media of all sorts so I'm happy I have the final issues. Gonna miss the cover art and features.

The key excerpts from Digicert:

> While we have deployed automation with several willing customers, the reality is that many large organizations cannot reissue and deploy new certificates everywhere in time. We note that other customers have also initiated legal action against us to block revocation.

> Temporary Restraining Orders (TROs) are designed to be temporary while the facts are figured out. Courts routinely grant these to prevent material harm. TROs are legally binding. We did receive a TRO in connection with this revocation.

Somewhat off-topic: I saw the funding note at the bottom - it’s pretty cool that the German government is giving some funding to projects like this. I wonder how much the US is doing in that regard, like if there’s a list of projects that tax dollars goes towards.

I would never dream of doing that to tourists that came to New York. A jerk move by these protesters, but a brilliant move by the politicians that have somehow dodged this blame.

Nice, that’s pretty sweet. Also RIP Bram, great human being.
