lIIIllllIIII

I'm not super knowledgeable about this however NL is a powerhouse of agricultural technology, they're a tiny country that's the 2nd largest food exporter in the world. There is a lot of really really interesting technology implemented there that will possibly make them a superpower once food crises become more frequent with climate change.

The ResultAsync class in neverthrow has chaining as well as splitting on ok/error - I find this really nice because you can also do away with exceptions at the same time.

I feel like fp-ts is even more powerful for this - provided you (and your entire team / every new hire) can navigate the steep learning curve which tbh defeated me when I tried to learn it in a couple of days last week

Australian indigenous people. Varying numbers of seasons, I'm guessing depending on the climate in which they live.

given that AI is primarily trained on web data I wonder if it's possible to attack other people's ML training in that way :-)

Funny, last time around it wasn't the interviewing that got to me, but the nightmare of lining up and going through interviews while also having a young baby and working full time. I remember working during the baby's naps on the weekend and then doing take home quizzes / online tests at like 10pm and like, barely scraping through.

I considered applying for Google at the time, but the combination of the famously arduous interview process, AFAIK both in terms of the time taken and difficulty (for which the recruiter recommended taking further studies in advanced data structures and algorithms) meant that attempting it would be silly.

Elections incentivize governments to prevent errors that result in not being elected any more.

Errors that result in the entire planet warming by a couple of degrees, or that generally just screw the country over on a timescale longer than an election cycle, are collectively shrugged off by wider society and a complicit media apparatus.

Australia's democratic system is vastly superior to first-past-the-post.

And yet, here we are - indefinitely detaining refugees, eye-watering corruption that vanishes from public discourse so quickly you can hear a doppler effect (half a billion dollars given without competitive tender to 6 randos to supposedly save the barrier reef), country is run by a member of a Pentecostal cult who brought an actual lump of coal into parliament (where do you even get one? what sort of logistics were involved in that stunt?)

It's either the people, or the Murdoch-monopolised media (not to mention, the de-clawed ABC), or both. I'm never sure. I don't know if altering the voting system would help; many of the independents and minor parties set to take office in this year's election are worse than the two major parties - which are milquetoast evil vs actual evil. They're a bunch of stooges, religious extremists and anti-vaxers. If anything, I want less of them.

That explains a lot of the crap I see. Google something very specific like how to setup a testing library? You'll get an article from dev.to with a 3000 word wall of text containing not only a verbose description of what is unit testing and why you should unit test, but also the author's life story and maybe a recipe for mojitos

The actual content was a couple of shell commands and like 3 lines of JSON

Zustand looks so nice. I wanted to create my own state management library just for fun and spent a while brainstorming it and then ran into Zustand which basically does exactly what I wanted (but has presumably been developed by people who know what they're doing_

As we all know, it's impossible to automate a crypto transaction.

They should have compared it with a cluster of M1s to the value of $1000-1500 a month.

If you think about it, cars can manage cooling 200+kW with a radiator - and a lot of airflow.

That's still an amazing amount of power though. I can't help thinking about the kind of sear you could get on a steak with 40kW of power :D

At which point your browser probably auto-fills the credentials again :-)

It's misleading because grammatically, what one would usually say in this situation is something like "Okta detected what it believed at the time was an unsuccessful attempt", because the statement's narrative is set in the present - and we now know the attack (not "attempt") was successful. Wording it as they did in their statement obfuscates the events that took place, and certainly reads like a deliberate attempt to downplay the severity of the breach.

Is it a common thing for "proper" microservices to have microservices retrieve data from other services via APIs?

I've worked on "microservices" systems before that do this. They were mostly shit.

The system I'm working on at the moment has each service subscribe to events and maintain its own database. The only comms is via events. It works pretty well and everything really is nicely separated, but it feels a bit haphazard.

I love the website design as well.

it seems a bit Rube Goldberg machine ish, right?

If he has 30m, why buy an NFT? Why not just ... use the 30M for the DeFi lending?

Is it just money laundering?

I thought it was actually just native advertising for Mythic.

Besides that I think the topic is prescient; there's a company local to me in Australia called Brainchip that is doing something similar I think. Given that NNs are just a bunch of matrix multiplications it's a promising approach.

I occasionally used to watch Smarter Every Day then he started doing a lot of this stuff, I think one of them might have been for an oil or defense company which I found utterly gross and I've avoided watching the channel ever since.

I remember seeing that video. It was an insta-click for me because I understand very, very little about circuits and electricity. Something that actually bugs me quite a bit.

I understood even less after watching it I think..

Your comment sent me off on a mental tangent for a minute about what it would take to create a PCF - portable canvas format

I suddenly realised I was reinventing HTML!

Just allow people to export HTML/CSS for archival.

They're definitely competing with Azure on this front.

If you're somehow still running C# on-prem (last time for me was >5 years ago?) you're probably less likely to go AWS than Azure if anything.
