How do you see this in person and resist going outside to say hi..

New reading spots

I live alone and read books. I mostly read them at home but I'd like to go out and read. The thing is I have really bad adhd so it involves not just my Kindle but I also listen to the audiobook at the same time or I can't stay focused on the book. I just listen to it on my phone with earbuds so it's hopefully not a huge deal but...

I think coffee shops would be happy with a regular, if you buy something. Otherwise, maybe mix it up, go to different places?

If the weather permits, park? Either benches or just take a towel to sit on in the grass.

You can also read in bars, they're probably pretty quiet during the day, but once again you'd have to buy something.

Maybe a weird one but churches are often available to the public and they're quiet, with seating. Might be worth to check with someone there if its OK.

If they are open to the public, museums or galleries could be a thing.

Encroaching on homeless behaviour, but if the public transportation tickets in the city are valid as long as you stay on, you could try finding a less used line and just go around in circles on something.

A supermarket trip may soon look different, thanks to electronic shelf labels ( www.npr.org )

Grocery store prices are changing faster than ever before — literally. This month, Walmart became the latest retailer to announce it’s replacing the price stickers in its aisles with electronic shelf labels. The new labels allow employees to change prices as often as every ten seconds....

I get the convenience part so the staff doesn't have to go around do it by hand, but it just seems infeasible to do it for the other examples mentioned.

E.g. you go in, pick up item listed for $10, finish shopping in 20 mins, item now costs $15 at till.. probably leave it (so now the staff has to re-shelf it) and start shopping at a place that is not trying to scam you.

For the other example, if there are a few packs of something expiring and they reduce the price for all the items on the shelf, everyone will just take the ones which have a reasonable shelf life left leaving the expiring ones.

Both of these just seem stupid.

myliltoehurts ,

Bold to assume the plural.

myliltoehurts ,

Use the buddy system. Years ago I had a work-friend, we'd just book meetings with each other a couple of times a week, go to a meeting room and just hang out, I taught him to juggle, or we'd watch an episode from a series etc.

It was fun feeling like we got away with something, but realistically nobody questioned it because we both got our work done and it was a good company where that mattered more than time spent at a desk.

myliltoehurts ,

I wonder if this will also have a reverse tail end effect.

Company uses AI (with devs) to produce a large amount of code -> code is in prod for a few years with incremental changes -> dev roles rotate or get further reduced over time -> company now needs to modernize and change very large legacy codebase that nobody really understands well enough to even feed it Into the AI -> now hiring more devs than before to figure out how to manage a legacy codebase 5-10x the size of what the team could realistically handle.

Writing greenfield code is relatively easy, maintaining it over years and keeping it up to date and well understood while twisting it for all new requirements - now that's hard.

myliltoehurts ,

So they filled reddit with bot generated content, and now they're selling back the same stuff likely to the company who generated most of it.

At what point can we call an AI inbred?

myliltoehurts ,

I have never seen contributors get anything for open source contributions.

In larger, more established projects, they explicitly make you sign an agreement that your contributions are theirs for free (in the form of a github bot that tells you this when you open a PR). Sometimes you get as much as being mentioned in a readme or changelog, but that's pretty much it.

I'm sure there may be some examples of the opposite, I just.. Wouldn't hold my breath for it in general.

It works in docker compose because compose handles relative paths for the volumes, the docker CLI doesn't.

You can achieve this by doing something like

docker run -v $(pwd):/data ...

pwd is a command that returns the current path as an absolute path, you can just run it by itself to see this. $() syntax is to execute the inner command separately before the shell runs the rest of it. (Same as backticks, just better practice)

I imagine that wouldn't work on windows, but it would on either osx, Linux or wsl.

Generally speaking, if you need the file system access and your CLI requires some setup, I'd recommend either writing it in a statically compiled language (e.g. golang, rust) or researching how to compile a python script into an executable.

If you're just mounting your script in the container - you're better off adding it directly at build time.

myliltoehurts ,

I think I misunderstood your problem, I assumed the issue was the volume mounts and after testing it I was indeed wrong - the docker cli now accepts relative paths so your original command does the same as what I suggested. After re-reading your issue I have a different idea of what's wrong, but would have to see your dockerfile (or for you to confirm) to be sure.

Do you add 10f.py to the docker image when you build it and do you specify the command/entrypoint in the Dockerfile? There are possibly to issues I can think of with how you do that (although considering the docker compose works it's probably the 2nd):

  1. You do add it and you add it to /data in the image - when you mount a volume over it would make the script no longer exist in the container.
  2. You do add it and it's not in /data - in this case the issue with running docker run -v ./:/data -w /workdir tenfigers_10f:v1 10f.py is the last bit - you override the command which makes it try to look for it at /data/10f.py, if you omit it the last part (10f.py) it should run whatever the original command was and assuming you set the cmd/entrypoint correctly in the Dockerfile it should see /data as ./ in python.

(Also when you run it with the CLI you might want to add -it --rm as well to the docker command otherwise it won't really behave similarly to a regular command)

myliltoehurts ,

Pretty confident the planet will be fine, maybe it'll take 10 million years but it'll thrive again, in some form.

What we are dooming is humanity, and honestly at this point it seems like we deserve what's coming.

myliltoehurts ,

Mine isn't like that but there can be a few reasons I'd guess at:

  1. YouTube recommends you things other people in your household watch (which can extend to random people if your isp uses cnat and doesn't give you an individual ip).
  2. This one is more of a guess, but I'd assume a lot of people would click on that content, so if you never watch shorts maybe their algorithm just gives you the default recommendations.
  3. If you watch adult content without protecting your privacy it's most likely associated with your account in their recommendations.
myliltoehurts ,

Yeah the YouTube algorithm is one of the worst recommendations engines I have seen tbh. It actively removes types of videos I repeatedly search for from my recommendations, and fills it with garbage I never watch.

But in the case of op it looks like a 100% horny content ratio which seems excessive, even for yt.

myliltoehurts ,

For me, there are 2 specific things that annoy me to no end with it.
1 is my guilty pleasure, I love watching hour long videos from Asian channels where they just film restaurants or bakeries making food in large batches. Honestly, youtube seems to actively remove them from my feed. I have to search for them every 2 weeks despite watching this content at least weekly.
The second is the opposite. At Christmas I searched for a video of a fireplace with music to put on as ambient background for dinner. My feed is chock full of 8+ hour music playlists now despite never having looked at another one. It's been 4 months.

I don't know what it is but i swear they have content they like showing you and content they dont like. If you want the former your experience will be OK. If you want the latter then they just decide you're wrong and still get the former.

myliltoehurts ,

Stuff like https://www.mdisc.com/ exist which claims 1000+ years of lifespan.. Kinda difficult to assert whether it's true or not tho.

myliltoehurts ,

That could be part of the reason, but the NHS has rapidly deteriorated over the course of the last 5ish years. It used to be pretty decent not so long ago, and our taxes didn't exactly drop. So while most public healthcare systems get strained over time due to the aging population problem, it shouldn't be this drastic.

The pandemic has surely strained it, but it doesn't feel like it's on the path to recovery, more like circling the drain.

The 2 more obvious things (to me) as far as the reasons go: an absolutely malicious government - who would sell us all for meat if they could - with little competition and brexit (courtesy of said government)

myliltoehurts ,

I've started seeing private health insurance on job adverts as a benefit more and more as well recently.. Which feels alarmingly US-like as well.

myliltoehurts ,

Agree that it's misleading, but to add there is another significant concern given how glassdoor is already "pay to win" from the companies perspective: they could just offer identifying the users as a paid service.

It would be digging their own grave if that starts happening, but that doesn't seem to be stopping many companies..

myliltoehurts ,

Haven't had any experience with eweka, but this is the reason why people tend to have multiple providers from different backbones and multiple indexers - to increase your chance for completion. Weirdly, eweka does not follow DMCA, but NTD which I've seen regarded as slower to take down content, so in theory the experience should be better, especially on fresh content.

Your mileage will vary greatly depending on what indexers/providers you pick and unfortunately it's very difficult to say whether it will reach your expectations until you try different options.

If you're willing to spend some more on it, you could try just looking for a small and cheap block account from a different backbone to see if it helps with the missing articles, but there are no guarantees.

myliltoehurts ,

Maybe it's me but the tone of the article reads to me like "the issue is solar pumps, they're depleting groundwater reserves" whereas the point seems to be more that pumping groundwater is ungoverned and access to it is now easier than ever, thanks to solar powered pumps.

Unfortunately, doesn't change that the issue exists.

myliltoehurts ,

Same as others, convenience. You can entirely live without it, but after some learning curve it's not much to maintain.

I've got opening sensors on all doors and windows so my heating turns off if something is open for a few minutes.

I've got a dark hallway with some movement sensors and smart bulbs so the lights can turn on when someone walks there, with the lights being dimmed if it's late at night or not turning on if it's super late or the luminosity sensor considers it already usable (e.g. on sunny days when there's enough light bleeding in)

I've got smart bulbs in most rooms we use a lot which change the color temperature from warm to cold to warm over the course of the day depending on the sun position/time (it's a dark country, we often need lights even during the day, especially during winter)

All in all, for me it was definitely worth the price and the investment, I'd not want to go back to not having them but I imagine for someone who hasn't experienced it, it might seem superfluous or gimmicky.

myliltoehurts ,

I've got https://www.philips-hue.com/en-gb/p/hue-hue-motion-sensor/8719514342125 these for motion sensors and they happen to have luminosity. They get fairly inaccurate once it's relatively dark, plus the fact they're primarily motion sensors
