Global standard doesn't mean that every person everywhere uses metric. It means that people everywhere can use metric and they know what it means, and that official weights and measures are done in metric. Use whatever glass size you want at the bar, or measure your horses however you wish, but when you get on the road the signs are in km/h.

Plenty of people are "bilingual" with metric and local. Canadians are universally bilingual with metric and imperial. It's not that hard.
I don't know if you've ever been to or through Paradise, but its very similar to many foothill communities in the north and south Sierras, in the sense that the town was effectively built into the surrounding forests. The forest in that area is primarily Ponderosa, and pretty decent sized ones as well. In this sense, and I can speak from authority as I've spent far more time in Paradise than I would have preferred (reasons below), pretty much the entire town had negative defensible space. Most of the houses in Paradise are (were) fully surrounded by 50-120 foot pondos and under a closed canopy.

Likewise, most of the new construction was built on the ridge (Skyway) between Paradise and Chico, which is primarily California live oak and grassland.

A huge mitigating factor in all of this however, is the level of poverty in and around the (former?) town of Paradise.

Not sure how well this has been represented in the media, but Paradise as a community is poor as shit. There are just about -shit_all- jobs (outside the hospital) in that area that don't involve selling cigarettes and lotto tickets. Paradise, Concow, Magalia, pretty much some of the poorest areas of California I know of. Many of the families in that area lived on properties that had been built over several generations, handed down from gold-rush era mining claims. These aren't people who keep insurance on anything. Nor are they the kind of people who concern themselves with maintaining a defensible space around their homes.

Many of those brands are not obviously private label. Whole Foods and Costco are the exception in that they have only 1 store brand that everything is labeled under. This is probably because they are high-value brands unto themselves and it's advantageous to put their own stamp on it.
Wonderful:))
This isn't complicated. Say there are 1,000 LPLD patients in North America (a wild overestimate). Then treating them with this therapy costs us $1Bn. If we limit ourselves to health care problems, is $1Bn better spent on these 1,000 LPLD patients, or on increasing penetration of existing therapies for other conditions? It seems likely to be the latter.

To believe LPLD therapy objectively deserves the allocation you're talking about, you have to believe that there aren't other cohorts of patients that are currently underserved. But we know that isn't true.
I'm not sure how it's unclear.

The comparable to Signature/Truth/365 would be Amazon Basics. The branding is consistent and minimal.

As the article points out, Amazon has dozens of other house brands that are not associated with Amazon. Amazon's argument would be that they are perfect substitutes, so branding them consistently with Amazon Basics would make people think they are lesser quality. So they just give them a new house brand.

Target is doing the same thing by the way [1] but they just don't have the massive scale.

I actually prefer driving to literally any other form of commuting - I get to sit in an air conditioned personal seat with my own music/podcasts/audio books playing, it's great. In comparison biking/walking is just miserable, and public transport is actively unpleasant. But then I actively enjoy driving, even if it's just for the commute.
Sure there are fringe cases where it's not true. In substance ad platforms are now tracking & targeting mechanisms. That's the "value" they sell, not their ability to deliver ads.

The DGX is impressive if incremental progress. MPI, OpenMP and SIMD are different APIs where CUDA is one, but their problems still need solving, eg inter-node, intra-node/inter-core, and intra-core/lane. It still takes a domain expert to map a problem into those levels effectively. CUDA automates this for tree of GPUs but only do this in a handful of relatively straightforward problems.
The fact that women can't have children without the drug, but apparently can with it adds a new complication to the QALY calculation I think.
I feel it really depends on one's background. I'm doing backend with Python now but came from academia where Matlab used to be the tool/language of choice. However, more and more academics got sick of working in that walled garden and paying oodles of money to use it and Python was a fantastic alternative to that.

I believe that if you're walking the line between software-development and data-science Python does an excellent job of bridging the two.

"All of that warming will eventually be enough to kill most or all of us within 40-100 years." Given current human life expectancy, it is true that the vast majority of humans alive today will be dead in 100 years, but that is not your claim. You are asserting that continued, slow warming will directly kill most or all humans within the next 40-100 years. No scientific prediction, no IPCC report, matches that.

>None of them say they prefer to sit on the bus for an hour instead of a 30 minute drive

Nobody suggested this. The point is that when public transit is effective, it becomes more attractive because of the cost savings relative to owning a car. In the absence of effective public transit, commuters will still tend to buy cars regardless of the expense because they don’t have a good alternative.

Leverage Azure Security Center to detect when compromised Linux machines attack
Not, exactly.

I did interview with Microsoft Global Network Services several years ago (before Satya Nadella) and got a sense on the infrastructure and money they were pumping into Bing.

They were replicating the style of data center deployments that Google was known for in terms of scale and efficiency. I wasn't really privy to any specific details beyond the Clos architecture they'd adopted for their underlay and the fact that they rolled their own switches and SDN.

I don't recall specifically when this was, but I do recall being impressed that they had something deployed and working. The only folks anyone were certain had done this at the time was Google. Facebook would later announce something similar with their Wedge switch and now there's a fully baked OCP standard.

They point of all this I suppose is that they were heavily investing in scale for Bing and Office 365. I suspect the product of all that work is what became Azure.
All generally true statements, but we've taken it pretty far. The average vehicle weighs something like twice what it did thirty years ago, and where 40hp used to be adequate fifty or sixty years ago, and 120hp could be "sporty" thirty years ago, many modern cars with less than 200 horses are described as underpowered today.

Tangent, "can barely cope with modern highway speeds", well, why does the highway speed limit have to be 65mph or 75mph or 80mph anyway? People got by when it was 55mph. Now, I'm not calling for the return of 55mph, but I'd like to point out that highway speeds are not natural law. Raising them was a choice- a choice that was one of many small pieces to arriving at where we are today, that is to say without much improvement in fuel economy.
> Frankly, that's an entirely appropriate way to deal with security.

No, it’s not. You don’t have to be perfect, but “critical vulnerabilities and half the owners don’t care” sounds a long way from approaching perfect. This is why we have botnets made of webcams and blogs, and constant leaks of people’s private information and passwords.
As always, this depends on your workload.
Pseudo-ish code because I’m typing from my phone.

Vuex code as per docs to create state.stuff and mutations.update_suff() then in main Vue instance

mounted () {
this.$socket.subscribe(‘stuff’, data => {
this.$store.commit(‘update_stuff’, data);
});

where $socket is a subscriber client I wrote wrapped as a Vue plugin.

Then inside the components

computed () {
stuff () {
return this.$store.state.stuff;
}
}

then use stuff as in your example.

So very simple, and nothing that I couldn’t do without Vue but it takes care of the boring DOM manipulations and using the browser extension during development I can watch state change (which becomes interesting when there are multiple subscriptions with data combined).

> If you use fractions often or work with weirder fractions anybody who is worth their grain of salt will build custom temporary rulers or helper systems anyways.

My point is a system with less need for that because it can handle more common divisions easily would be good.

> I can see how anybody who grew up with inches likes that one better

I tried to be very explicit in that I was not promoting the imperial system. I'm not even promoting imperial distance over metric distance. I'm purely using feet because there's a base 13 for inches to illustrate how a full base 12 system might work. Feet and inches are much worse than metric even in this case because that conversion only happens at one spot, not at regular orders of magnitude.

All I was saying is that since it's a fact there are some things that can be done in base 12 that can't be done in base 10 but not the other way aroubd, it would be really interesting (and extremely unlikely) if we somehow shifted to a base 12 metric-like system. That wouldn't be imperial (which has a different conversion every time you blink).

I learned a lesson though. People are very protective of the metric system. Even opining about fictional future possibilities with mathematical facts will lead to downvoting into oblivion and people misinterpreting clear assertions as something they aren't.
Funny, that happened to me this week as well. With the same word!
Probably so.

30th of June 2024 is not 10 years away. RHEL 7 will be the last RedHat with python2 by default and it goes end of life in 2024.

Additionally; expecting them to properly support all the new features and manually creating (not backporting) fixes for issues is accrediting RedHat with having more resources than the reality allows.
As of today still most of the software I use seems to get stuck in one core of my CPU when calculating stuff so I'd argue that by enabling HT I'm losing performance.
> individually each person is just screwing themselves over by not buying from Amazon

How so? I haven't noticed Amazon UK being particularly competitive on price for many years.

I just randomly checked a camera backpack, £219 on Amazon and Wex both with free delivery.

Canon 6D2, £40 cheaper than Amazon on Wex and Currys.

Amazon are like Ryanair these days, coasting on a low-price reputation that is long gone. They each do occasional headline sales of things people don't want for pennies but the overall trend is up.

[...] It's interesting that things like meditation (and apparently psychedelics) can quiet the DMN and bring clarity and happiness in people by doing so.

The discovery of the default mode network (DMN) and the role it plays in our perception of reality are also mentioned in "How to Change Your Mind", a recent book by Michael Pollan [1], which examines in great depth all the issues you mention and more. I highly recommend it to those interested in the nature of consciousness.

I think these are the people the author is referencing. These students did amazing if measuring by GPA, but did so through hard work and a lot of thinking. Got praised for GPA related achievements which reinforced their over studying/thinking behavior, which leads to the scenarios the author describes.

Excellent points I was unaware of, thank you.

I also agree with you on the point of public transit in infrastructure. I’m in SF, and not many people who work in the city can afford to live in it. This makes reliable and affordable transit critical as most working class folks are pushed into outlying cities suburbs.

Fractions are mathematical modifiers that can applied to any quantifiable measurement. That said, I imagine they aren't generally used in professional context in metric, because they generally aren't in imperial either. You don't see architectural plans that say 1-1/2 feet, they say 1'-6". Is it common to see fractional amounts in metric when used in a professional context?
There are innumerable variables.

Productivity is not just a function of investment.

Spain doesn't form large organizations like they do in Germany and the UK. More people in Germany for example are employed in large organizations wherein they can create more sophisticated products like cars.

Do they have extensive coop/internship programs for young people to work at large organizations?

Is the civil service actually productive?

My experience with our own Spanish office is that they are slack. I would say professionally disorganized. They'd probably just accuse me of bad 'life work balance' , which is fine. But the office hours, long lunches, absenteeism ... nobody really ever seemed to be doing anything. And FYI the work days were long .... Now that is anecdotal - my personal experience, I know that a lot of places hum along obvious, but most of my Spanish friends would concur with what I'm saying though probably not my language. Call it weather, culture, whatever but there's a different culture outlook and this cannot be ignored.

Here's a good take that matched my sentiment [1]

The problem with this 'investment' argument as it relates to Greece, Spain etc. is that only systems that are prepared for investment can possibly make good with it.

Think of a company like a startup: should every startup receive $100M - would that make everyone successful? No - because most startups don't have 'product market fit' and they are not creating value. If a nation has the wherewithal and are ready for investment, well that's another thing. And of course consider how that capital is distributed ... by governments often to their civil servants and pensioners, which might be good, but it's also not exactly going to result in any kind of industrial development.

The most impressive part about the dgx2 is the nvswitch architecture. Nvlink was a stepping stone to get there, and nvswitch is the next progression to make a unified address space on up to 16 GPUs across 2 boxes. I think the biggest threat for Nvidia competitors will be switch manufacturers. The biggest bottleneck continues to be the interconnects between cards and nodes. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia designs a proprietary external switch that can connect many dgx-2 as the next step, reducing the need for Ethernet or infiniband. I think the impact of nvswitch cannot be understated, and I don't think it gets much press.
I don't see why affordable housing shouldn't be given to public employees. The city (and indirectly, taxpayers) have an interest in making sure its workers can live close by. Even if it were entirely for public employees, would that actually be bad? I don't think it's obviously better or worse than a lottery or market-rate housing.
Tesla’s ‘Bioweapon Defense Mode’ proving invaluable to owners in CA wildfires
Any algorithm is going to be bound by time horizons. Obviously any animal mind needs to be able to react in time horizons starting at something like 1/100th of a second (and your central nervous system can do that), all the way up to ... for humans 10s of years (rare, but happens).

Things that take longer than that are just not going to be responded to.

The fun thing is that if you go back in history long enough, there must have been a period where evolution was actually making this decision. De we go longer term ? Or shorter term. Obviously we know the outcome: shorter term and adaptation is the clear winner, with very few exceptions. But a few organisms do exist with reaction spans that are measured in decades. Even trees take something like a few months to respond to changes in their environment.

The difference seems to be that species that run more efficiently as a rule react slower. That does mean, of course, that after expansion they are running much closer to a level where they'd go extinct, which is not true of humans (it would take a true global catastrophe to really reduce human numbers). So this, assuming you have the choice, is probably the better bet to make long term: the bet that keeps you away from situations where you'll go extinct. Extreme efficiency and long-term reaction spans will do the opposite: they'll take a species closer to the point where it'll go extinct.

The cost, of course, is that members of such a species will always be adapting. Never ever will such a species be truly steady-state (although I'd say genes, both ours and animals' do a remarkable job of stabilizing our numbers). Every generation has to adapt and the solutions of even a few generations past ... just won't work. Well, not without a few changes at least.

And let's please not pretend that which camp you're in matters for this. Both the people against and for climate action (even climate deniers), from a behaviorist perspective, all do it for the same reason : it's a social interaction. It doesn't even have anything to do with science, as such. It has to do with environment. And yes, environment can mean high-priced lawyers and politicians, campus parties, PhD students and academia, protests and the accompanying social groupings, miners and their towns ... and those groups are the real things fighting. But none of the individuals in them are doing it for science.
