Yeah, but while the mtime++ vs content hash dichotomy is interesting and all, in a way it's all just about a performance optimization.

What matters is keeping track of the actual dependencies and Redo does indeed save that knowledge in a database that gets consulted between runs.

Yes your point is taken, I guess saying "people coming from the geographical area that's now China" is more accurate.

Coincidentally, yesterday I was watching "Civilizations" on Netflix, and they brought up the 1986 discovery of these incredible Bronze Age statues from the 12th-11th century B.C.:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanxingdui

And they were saying this contradicts the "Middle Kingdom" idea, i.e. that all of Chinese culture came from one place. The book Sapiens reminds us that every civilization/government likes to make an argument for why it has inevitable "divine" authority, and China is no exception. They exaggerate their history to claim power.

-----

But I think there is probably a reasonable analogy to Europe. It's not inaccurate to say the "Europeans" conquered the Americas starting around the 1500's.

European states like Spain, Britain, and the Netherlands were constantly at war with each other. But they all made conquests to different places in the Americas at slightly different times (i.e. South and Central America for Spain, the Caribbean, North America, etc.)

These societies shared broad characteristics and influenced other. Not just agriculture, but also property rights, the rule of law, etc. Their spoken and written languages were mutually unintelligible, but they recognized each other's currencies and could trade with each other. They adopted each other's technologies.

Nobody would call them the same, but it is coherent to talk about them as "European". It's a matter of semantics, but I think you can also call a group of disparate people "Chinese" in the same way. Although in the latter case there is a much greater difference in time. The Europe of today has considerable cultural continuity with the Europe of 1500 (art, music, government to some extent, etc.). I don't know how true that is for pre-modern China, although I suspect that if you adjust for the time period, it's roughly similar.

I would be interested in pointers to more resources about that.

-----

Another point: what other term would I use besides "Chinese"? "Asian" does not seem accurate or what historians would use. I think historians would come up with a different term than "China" or "Sino" if the difference were extremely large.

For example, as far as I know Mycenaean society has basically nothing in common with modern Greece -- no continuity in art, music, government, etc. -- but it's still called "Mycenaean Greece" since the land area they occupied is the same.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycenaean_Greece

If there is another word for post-agricultural but pre-modern China, I would be happy to use it! "Chinese" is indeed a big and vague term with a lot of baggage to many people. (I am Chinese myself but born in America.)

Typical communists.
Whatever you do, if the target is reducing CO2 emission, you'll have to account for the CO2 investment. All I am saying is it may be more cost-effective to leave the desert alone and put our Trillion trees where conditions are already great for large trees (Alaska, NZ), instead of pipe-dreaming about Roman aqueducts delivering water to a green Sahara or Gobi.

What does "model" mean? What kind of data are contained in a machine learning model? Second, how do you decide a model is robust? I'm asking because I'm looking at using ML to more efficiently use some quality assurance tools for a product line. The idea is to develop a model such that product A, B, C can have existing (or supplementary data) QA data plugged into a model, and then an appropriate sampling plan can be output.

An intern showed proof of concept of such a model based on one product, and it's fantastic work that could save thousands of dollars, but we're struggling with how to "qualify" it. How do we know we won't get a "garbage in/garbage out" situation?
Rumors of my passing have been greatly exaggerated!
The great plains have little vegetation on them, and take well to having trees planted on them. The trees in Kansas, for example, were planted by early settlers to break the wind, and have thrived.

(The historical reason trees were absent from the great plains was periodic fire.)
The should probably say 'most effective'. Yes not creating the problem in the first place would be the most powerful approach, but it's just not going to happen at least in the short to medium term. It would hit our standards of living (everybody's, including the poorest people on the planet) too much to be politically viable. The things we can do to reduce carbon emissions immediately are somewhat limited, but planting trees right now is comparatively easy.

As mentioned, the Chinese exaggerate their history to claim power. But "modern Japanese historians" aren't exactly disinterested either.

I'd be interested to read more informed sources on the topics, rather than vague policing of words.
Just an aside, if you see campaigns such as "we have planted 2 trees for each widget you buy" you should understand that this is often in a forestry program where the new trees often get pruned or removed to make room. So a claim like "we planted 10k trees last year" doesnt mean much at all. the majority of trees planted in forestry do not survive. In terms of carbon a forestry program is neutral at best just replacing fallen trees and negative most of the time.

It's not the planting that counts, it's the leaving the trees alone.

Cooking rice in where percolating cooking water is recycled through condensation

Here all 41 samples of bought rice were cooked in a standard Soxhlet apparatus. Rice grain, fresh from the packet, was accurately weighed (2g) into a VWR Soxhlet thimble and was then placed into an 25cm long and 3.5cm diameter Quickfit Soxhlet which was attached to a 250ml receiving flask at one end and a dimpled Vigreux 25cm condensing tube (14 rows of 3 dimples = 42 dimples in total), with the receiving flask sitting within an electrically heated mantle and supported by a retort stand and clamps. At the start of the experiment the flask was filled with 200ml of double-distilled, deionized distilled water. Rice cooking was timed as per number of Soxhlet reflux cycles, with 3 cycles sufficient to fully cook the rice. At the end of the 3rd cycle the thimble containing rice was removed and rice freeze dried and milled as described for the cooking volume experiment.

The tree grows anyway, plausibly at a faster rate than a small one (slower proportionally,but more in absolute volume) while keeping the existing volume sequestered, so cutting it down does not seem effective.

You could dump vegetables or corn in a hole though, but I've read that's not a cost effective solution either.

At my place of work, we leverage temporal and bitemporal tables in PostgreSQL extensively (I’d estimate that ⅔ of our Schemas are either temporal or bitemporal).

We have a few custom tools to make them more ergonomic to create and update, but the core functionality is derived from an open source extension, I believe. Although, googling for it now, while away from my work computer, I can’t seem to find it... :/

... after looking it up on my work computer, it turns out we wrote our own implementation. It’s less than 200 lines of SQL, and uses three relatively common extensions. I wish it was open source, because it’d be super helpful to have in the future. But hey, at least it’s good to know that it can be/has been practically done?

I do machine learning work in healthcare, and work for a HIPAA covered entity. The issue of permissions and data access often gets applied in an unnecessarily strict fashion to data scientists in these environments, often due to a lack of understanding from engineering managers who have been brought in from a non-regulated environment (e.g., hiring a salesforce engineering manager into a healthcare system so they can "disrupt" or "solve" healthcare -- they hear "regulation" and immediately clamp down on everything).

HIPAA allows use of clinical data for treatment, payment, and operations. You can also get around consent issues if the data is properly deidentified. If you have a data scientist who is working to further treatment, payment, or operations (i.e., isn't working on purely marketing uses, selling the data, or doing "real" research), then they are allowed to use the data, assuming it's the minimum necessary for their job. For training machine learning models that support operations, "minimum necessary" is probably a lot of data. And, obviously, the production pipelines and training/experimentation/development would need access to the same amount of data if you want to train and deploy models.

Data scientists are also likely to be the first to notice problems with how your product is working, often before the data engineering team. At my company, I've found numerous bugs in our data engineering pipelines and production code because I've seen anomalies in the data and went digging through the data warehouse, replicas of the production databases, and within our actual product. You probably want to support and encourage that kind of sleuthing - but each organization is different, so maybe you have better QA that's more attuned to data issues.

My opinion, from having done this for over a decade, is that the question shouldn't be about how much access you give your data scientists. They should have access to nearly all of the data that's within their domain, assuming they're legally entitled to it. The question you should be solving for is what restrictions should be placed on how they access and process that data: e.g., have EC2 instances and centralized jupyter notebooks available for them to download and process data, and prohibit storing data on a laptop.

How hard is it to plant a tree? Especially if it's young and there is very clear guidance as to which native trees should be planted in which contexts you have available to you locally (account for full size growth and sunlight / water needs).

If over one year everyone planted 3 trees per week, and we employed a work force of people to cultivate them further, we would make a huge dent in our catastrophic risk exposure? Sure, it's seemingly impractical alongside the status quo of land distribution and use ( $$$ into develop all the land and farm humans for rent!!), but... more green will be good for the health of nearly all the living things on Earth, and at the very least give us more time to find even better solutions.
Most chromebooks have that actually. First stage bootloader is shipped read-only (and then there is a secure boot chain), but can be rewritten.

Can you prove that or back that up with some facts?
For some reason I pictured people moving fully grown trees .. planting 150 seeds is not a lot indeed.
If the statement said 'groped' instead of 'unwanted touching' - then we might infer maybe someone grabbed a woman's rear end or breasts - which is something entirely different from a 'rude dance move and sloppy kiss on the cheek', and also 100% out of bounds, no ambiguity.

If someone at a bar grabbed a woman's breast - well - I doubt the police would be involved, because it's just not something that rises to that level in most contexts, but it should not diminish the fact it's totally not right. There's no grey area there (if that's what happened).

If this was between two employees, especially if someone has power over the other (i.e. CEO / employee) then it's much tricker because of the nature of that power.

I think it's also different if 'some guy got drunk and seriously embarrassed himself' vs. 'a predatory CEO who gets girls drunk and gropes them'. It really could be either: people do stupid things sometimes. And some people are utter creep-shows.

The company can 'become a target' if there's consistent 'out of bounds behaviour' that's reported, and nobody is doing anything about it and/or covering it.

To be clear: I have no idea what happened, I'm not going to speculate, other than to articulate a range of possible issues.

I generally believe the victim/accuser, though details and context are always important.
So we need the same effort only 1200 times over, which means something like 5 times for each country on earth including the very tiny ones.

This series is well-known to Indians under the Sanskrit name Vetala-Panchavimshati - which means "ghoul('s) N" which is short for "N (stories of the) ghoul [1]".

Pancha means 5, I forget or don't know what vimshati means - could be that the whole number part (panchavimshati) means 25.

So the whole name of the series means 25 stories of the ghoul (vetala) - as told to king Vikramaditya, a famous king of ancient times, on whose back a ghoul somehow landed, and who then had to carry the ghoul on his back from somewhere to the cemetery 25 times.

Each time, while going there, the ghoul told him a different story ending in a puzzle or question.

Vikram was renowned as a good and fair judge.

The ghoul would tell him each time, that if he answered the question right (which involved judging the protagonists of the story, and saying who of them was right or wrong), he (the ghoul) would get off his (Vikram's) shoulders and let him go. But, if by the 25th time, Vikram still did not get the question right, the ghoul would kill him.

Entertaining stories we heard or read as kids. Often with some moral. Typical of Indian legends / folk tales.

It seems incredibly practical to me. I've seen a quote for 40 dollars to plant a thousand trees. That's something like 50 billion to offset a decade of global warming? Doesn't sound so bad. Spread the cost out worldwide, 5 billion a year, split between a few big countries?

Shit, why didn't anyone else think of that? Hold on let me get Xi on the phone and let him know.
But that's even better, right? If I pay you $500 for an iPhone, I get an iPhone. If you take that money and spend it, it's "the regular economy" again, and I have to provide whatever you bought. If you don't spend the money then I don't have to give you anything, but I still got an iPhone.

The real problem with this is that then I have to borrow money to buy the iPhone but there is no way for me to ever pay it back, because you never spend the money I borrowed so there is no way for me to end up with it again, meanwhile I'm paying interest on it. So everybody's got a mortgage payment when they should already own their homes.

But this isn't capitalism causing this, it's bad laws. Nobody wants to sell you an iPhone so that Apple will have more money -- they want dividends. Until you tell them that leaving the money inside the company (where it collects interest) results in no taxes but if it's given to the investor to spend or reinvest then the government will be having >40% of it up front. So they take their money as share price appreciation instead. Worse than dividends, but not 40% worse.

That causes capital to accumulate inside corporations, which they then use to buy each other, because what else are they going to do with it? So we get megacorps, which then destroy small businesses and corrupt governments and do evil. Because we tax investing the profits of an existing corporation in a new one, when that's the thing that we need to happen to reduce wealth inequality.
I'm unclear what problem your describing.

Even if they did, there would be very little certainty that people would trust them, or, more importantly, their successors in the same positions of authority. The only effective "apology" and "commitment" from them would be opening up their society in some way, perhaps along Neo-Confucian lines, i.e. with a sort of assembly of widely-recognized "wise scholars" that could veto/overrule the executive on such matters (Somewhat like the U.S. Supreme Court). But either way, it would be a real challenge to the current setup of authority in China, and any sort of change is inherently hard. So they'll just keep muddling through like this, even in ways that may seem obviously undesirable or even silly to outsiders.

A lack of native speakers can inhibit context. How many translations exist of, say, the Aeneid, or Beowulf?

If Manchu didn't need to be protected because of how widely known it is, the notoriously assimilationist PRC would not be launching an initiative to translate all the documents, and would not be promoting Manchu language use and education[0]. You don't see similar efforts with, say, Shanghainese.

That’s pretty trivial to prove. Grid tied systems sell excess electricity back at bulk rates, at least in some states, which means that the solar panels are producing more electricity than the home needs for cooling. Thus such a house is actually spending negative carbon on cooling, since they’re providing green energy for their neighbors.

A shade tree can reduce your need for electricity, but it can’t turn you into a net producer.
