I take it seriously because it echoes a sentiment I've seen expressed previously. If you're interested, I believe this post outlines the idea: https://blog.stephenwolfram.com/2018/11/logic-explainability...

The tl;dr is that physics is not necessarily explainable, however much you want it to be. So it's very possible that the underlying phenomena of reality is simply out of reach of theories (i.e. it's incompressible).

> That's tantamount to saying that his theory is not based on data, logic, or even sound reasoning, and cannot be proven. Pretty much the definition of a crackpot theory.

You misunderstood the post I think. It's not proposing a theory, or even a crackpot one. It's saying that maybe the underlying phenomena is out of reach of theories.

STFU about blockchain and say someting of positive impact as opposed to constantly bitching about blockchain.

I am not pushing blockchain, I am pointing out that people who "work in the space" clearly have nothing, else theyd stop saying "blockchain sucks!" and say "See, what you really want in a situation like this is..."
IOTA is moving towards an open source coordinator (released today on github), and eventually coordicide (which is what it sounds like). It's been the goal of the project from day one. Bitcoin had checkpoints when it started; the coordinator is analogous to checkpoints. Wouldn't touch XRP with a ten foot pole, though.

It's a bit like asking why you need an editor to read your manuscript or why you need a typesetter to typeset your book (instead of just saving a Word document in pdf and sending it to the printer).

Take a look at Smashing Magazine, for example. That's a static html website built with Hugo. Guess who built it? Professional frontend developers :-)

Maybe you don't need a professional for your site, or maybe you do. If you are a company that is sold on the idea of having a very fast, elegant, interactive, and yet searchable site, then maybe you do. Also, if you are a frontend developer and already have the skills, then maybe you'll like this tech for your own site (I know many frontend devs do).
Upper-middle-class or nicer neighborhoods are a fairly small share of all neighborhoods.
Yeah, you probably don't. And not only that, but it probably makes your life harder. I've interviewed for a tech lead position at a company working with freelancers and I'm pretty sure the reason they ended up rejecting me was that I mentioned the technical interviewer that I think containers, container infrastructures (like Kubernetes) and even cloud infrastructure is being overused/used without giving too much thought about it as if it came free (in the sense of setup and operating complexity). Too bad the interviewer started rambling about how he was into Kubernetes those days :). (Actually, this was the most technical part of the interview.)

I'm mostly working with startups and small companies creating MVPs and that was their client base too. Now most of the time these are just building CRUD apps, most of the time these apps don't see heavy usage for years (maybe never). Developers love technology, love to play with new(ish) things so quite a few of us will prefer using whatever is new and hip for the next project. Now it's containers and microservices. And it feels safe, because done right, these will give you scalability. And once you convince the client/boss that you need it it's unlikely that anyone will come back in a year and say: hey, it seems that we'll never need this thing that made the development $X more expensive. (Partly because they won't know the amount.) So actually politically it is the safe choice. But professionally and cost wise it's usually worse. It's a lot better to have to transition after seeing the need (preferably from the projected growth numbers). At least you minimize the expected value of the costs (bacause YAGNI).

Thanks for a detailed response. I'll check the references out.

I am a lot less knowledgeable than you have imagined here. :-) Well, I know practically all the physics and electronics part, but have not found much that connects to music theory. I could figure the mathematical why's of scales and chords ("stacked intervals with more or less pure dissonance or consonance") by myself. But ever since have been struggling to find about which chords/progressions would fit which melody. Most musicians are doing this naturally, "by the ear" as they say. :-) And music theory books I have looked at so far (including the thick ones) do not talk about mathematics at all. :-( :-)

This is true of all laws. This is how society works. If you don't like it, in a democracy you can campaign for change.

You seem to believe you have a fundamental right to copy someone else's works. If the author of those works grants you permission (open source) - then fine. You seem to suggest that people shouldn't profit from their work. I just don't think FOSS software alone is tenable.
This looks really good, and I've been interested in setting up a system like this for my blog for a while.

My main concern with anything these days is security. Do you have any further info on how you secure the email list that you store, etc?
This star system is about 8000 light-years away. For comparison, in 1572 a different star, also about 8000 light-years away, was observed to go supernova. At its brightest, it was reported to be about as bright as Venus. This supernova would probably reach similar brightness levels.

IMHO, if you are lucky to have the problem of scaling beyond dokku on a beefy, dedicated server, it's time to hire someone for the devops. YMMV depending on your stack, of course.
The problem is if they were implemented with regulatory instruments and whatnot, they would share their critical weakness. If tomorrow China says 'we know your banking computer systems are insecure and have no integrity. We do not trust that the numbers on them represent anything', the US economy is over. They can't prove that Walmarts net worth came from trade rather than from some malware or error or some other fraud. That would leave cryptocurrency being the only thing that can actually be proven to be real.

Basing your currency on trust is great... until the trust is gone. And trust can disappear with a glance.
Right, they can also destroy coins too.

>True AI will build model from the scratch, and not just learn model complexity.

There's no such thing as truly learning "from scratch" -- the No Free Lunch Theorem holds no matter what. What you can do is find a sufficiently large (ex: Turing-complete) hypothesis class, and make simplifying assumptions to allow it to be feasibly learnable (such as regularization or priors).
It's already done. LLVM IR can be compiled to eBPF already, and Rust compiles to LLVM IR. It just took a little bit of effort to make it not totally hacky, but that code isn't OS.
on a phone with average brightness, it's okay. on a big monitor, it hurts my eyes looking at it, like green text on a red background. so i genuinely hope these never get used.
I think crypto is very manipulated, but people aren't being duped because of that manipulation. (aside from a few situations like Paycoin where the "founder" Josh Garza promised a price floor; he has been since prosecuted)

Losses in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and ICOs are the result of individuals hyping each other up and smoking hopium. Opportunities have to at least pass a smell test before you can claim you've been "duped".

1) Apply your normal engineering problem solving skills. This can be solved like any other problem. Say you’re bad at a certain type of math problem what do you do? Practice and apply trial and error. What’s your strategy? What worked and what didn’t?

2) You need to brute force it. You probably have a tendency to avoid social situations instinctively or anything that might lead to a social interaction. Stop doing this. Whenever a possibility of social interaction arises, force yourself to do it. Even if it’s painful just look at it as training.

3) If you brute force it long enough eventually you end up loosening up and becoming a more fluid, relaxed, and confident person.
While it is fun, I don't see how that will help ^^;
I'm sorry I can't remember the exact title but i read a book on non-verbal communication a while back that was really helpful for learning to read body language and helping me adjust my own body language to come across as more friendly. It's really surprising how much just changing your posture and paying attention to your facial expressions really helps with talking to people. It also helps you pick up on their emotinal state whether they're nervous or anything. Any book that teaches those concepts should help.

Also, not really a resource but something a friend of mine told me years ago that always stuck with me and really helped me with the way I am around people. She told me being shy and introverted isn't much different than being arrogant. It means you're more concerned about the way your words or actions will be perceived by other people instead of actually paying attention to other people. Most people, even extroverted people, get nervous talking to people, especially strangers. The way I see it other people are just as nervous talking to me so it is kinda selfish to sit there and be introverted and make other people reach out to me or talk to me. I've tried to keep this inind over the years when I meet or talk to people and it's helped. Even if i'm uncomfortable in a situation just understanding that whoever i'm talking to probably is also and it helps me relax and usually being relaxed helps the other person relax and where I used to have a lot of awkward conversations with people I find they flow more naturally now the less I worry.
My recommendation is to go to your team lead/manager and tell them what you wrote in the first two paragraphs. Ask them for help in developing those skills.

My experience has been that learning office politics is more about having a trusted mentor that is good at doing this. You are looking for a mentor that would bring you to meetings and into conversations where you can observe what they do, what the other people do, and take notes. Have a debriefing session afterwards to discuss why you believe each person behaved or said the things they did. What you will gain by this is experience in looking at interactions from multiple viewpoints.

Once you can start predicting those reactions by anticipating other people's viewpoints, then social interaction becomes much easier. You aren't caught off guard nearly as much, and the level of anxiety goes down significantly.
> it's unlikely these laws/bans protect any children, unless there are people who exclusively rape children to distribute the resulting images and videos, which seems dubious.

When there is a market for something, that will result in more of it. And, you can’t generally make child porn without children.

It’s not a huge logical stretch to suggest that some content ought to not be legal, especially when the participants are unable to legally decide if they want to participate. Banning child porn isn’t the slippery slope to full censorship as it is often portrayed as. There should be some common sense involved. Banning child porn doesn’t lead to banning political speech or even distasteful speech, societies should have some limits on speech and I would suggest that child porn would be will within reasonable limits and not necessarily leading us down a road of total censorship. Plenty of legal freaky stuff out there that it seems reasonable to exclude children from the mix.

Some day I would like a powwow with all you hackers about whether 99% of apps need more than a $5 droplet from Digital Ocean, set up the old-fashioned way, LAMP --- though feel free to switch out the letters: BSD instead of Linux, Nginx instead of Apache, PostgreSQL instead of MySQL, Ruby or Python instead of PHP.

I manage dozens of apps for thousands of users. The apps are all on one server, its load average around 0.1. I know, it isn't web-scale. Okay, how about Hacker News? It runs on one server. Moore's Law rendered most of our impressive workloads to a golf ball in a football field, years ago.

I understand these companies needing many, many servers: Google, Facebook, Uber, and medium companies like Basecamp. But to the rest I want to ask, what's the load average on the Kubernetes cluster for your Web 2.0 app? If it's high, is it because you are getting 100,000 requests per second, or is it the frameworks you cargo-culted in? What would the load average be if you just wrote a LAMP app?

EDIT: Okay, a floating IP and two servers.
There are similarities. The difference in two approaches are:
- FEP is Bayesian in nature, while there's usually no notion of uncertainties in curiosity driven RL
- In FEP, there's no explicit weighting of explore/exploit tradeoff. It automatically emerges from equations
- FEP, since it's Bayesian, allows for more complex reasoning (like counterfactuals)
- Curiosity driven RL is scalable while FEP is not feasible for anything other than simple models

Yeah, and 400 years of inflation later, tulip bulbs are still way down from their peak, as long as you want to draw conclusions based on irrelevantly long periods of time.
I've been in those environments. I've had to try to repair horrific "code" written in it. I've participated in "code reviews" where the straightness of the lines was carefully assessed in the massive mess of spaghetti code they had created and thought was good code.

LabVIEW is a toy for EEs to write prototypes in. That would have been okay if it had stayed there -- but the problem is that people are actually distributing "applications" using it, and trying to maintain them is nearly impossible.
I would encourage you to find a mentor who understands you. You'll be pleasantly surprised at how many engineers identify with the story you told.

I think it's harder to "pick-up" the skills by reading generic, broad advice in the form of blogs, books, and more effective to find a person you can trust, who can give you advice on how to handle real situations you're going through.

You'll be happier/more effective in the short term (as the mentor will guide you through these interactions), and you'll see the patterns of how to deal with these situations over the long term (picking up the skills).

You'll pick up the skills faster than you think! Good luck! :)

Lift some weights. It might seem unrelated, but it's very crucial to improving your ability to deal with anxiety of all kinds. If you don't have experience around weight training equipment, then pay for small group training. Not only will you get a low-stakes opportunity to practice socializing, but the weight training will improve your testosterone production and your ability to regulate anxiety.

I should've done small group training years ago. Such a good investment.

This is why TakeShape also provides a built-in static site generator[0] using Nunjucks templating (think Django, Twig, Swig, etc). If you are trying to build a simple site this is a great option.

Sounds like your problem is more with taking action than having the right knowledge or intuition. Having worked in consulting a bit, you come to understand effective communication is something you just have to do, it's what you're selling. If you had a feeling the "spec" wasn't quite accurate and still set out on just following it - guess what? You messed up. Someone else wouldn't and that makes them better.

You can be an introvert, you might be shy, awkward, whatever. But do you want to do a good job or not? They aren't mutually exclusive.

When all you need to do is say something or ask questions - it doesn't matter if you're a smooth talker or a total mess. What matters is doing it.
Detecting porn is actually not that hard because you can look for skin color. With a bit of machine learning it’s totally doable and there are firewall solutions that can block porn content in real time.

I had friends at a startup that was doing this 10 years ago and they were doing a marvelous job. Don’t know what happened to it, blocking porn isn’t something that people really want to pay for imo.

But it’s totally doable and it doesn’t involve hashing / fingerprinting.
If there's nothing wrong with what you have, keep it.

There's also theoretically nothing stopping you from setting up a similar server and stand up a load balancer for incoming traffic and use that if you need some redundancy. That's roughly what I do but with docker-compose and a cron job

Tooling like Kubernetes might make sense for larger operations but, for me at least, it doesn't seem to make sense and won't make a significant difference in my day to day administration
