Also I usually develop my website's backend (Elixir) directly on the EC2 a1 instance it runs on :)
No. Fork anytime you want to use something in production and don't consider it right.

Post pull requests if you care to, and post your fork, too, if you like, being careful to keep clear that it is a different project.

Some forks wither, some surge, some re-merge. It's all part of the dance. Any of it is better than flaming somebody who makes a thing and offers it.
Fentanyl: The most dangerous illegal drug in America
now this time I will employ simple restatement to help convey the point I'm making--and for you to be rational is for you to first simply understand what I'm saying; arguing back is not entirely rational, it's actually an additional emotional step:

think of rationality of the brain like a signed vs unsigned char in most implementations of C, basically a byte: you could think of a byte as 0-255 or as -127 to +126. The brain is an emotional organ. Rationality is the best possible outcome, but it's not the default state; the brain doesn't function from 0 to 255 rationality, it functions from -127 to +128.

I say it this way because you talk about rationality "breaking down" as if it's some sort of default. I don't think of it that way. Rationality is something we hope to build up to and are lucky to achieve, but our default state is animal passion.

I'm not trying to convince you to change what you think, just using some restatements to open your thinking to the way psychiatry views the brain.
Lots of Florida will escape sea level rise, and the benefits (lower cost of living, no state income tax, tropic climate with no snow) can be realized immediately. You care even less if you’re a renter or >10 feet above sea level.

Migration numbers don’t lie, lots of folks love Florida, or at least like it enough to move and stay put.
Such internet clichés are unsubstantive, so please don't post them here.
No.
Maybe an "AI Fall", but I doubt there will ever be another true "AI Winter". The AI we have today is too good, and creates too much value... at this point, there is no longer any question as to whether or not there is value in continuing to research and invest in AI.

What will happen, almost without doubt, is that particular niches within the overall rubric of "AI" will go in and out of vogue, and investment in particular segments will fluctuate. For example, the steam will run out of the "deep learning revolution" at some point, as people realize that DL alone is not enough to make the leap to systems that employ common sense reasoning, have a grasp of intuitive physics, have an intuitive metaphysics, and have other such attributes that will be needed to come close to approximating human intelligence.

Disclaimer: credit for the observation about "intuitive physics" and "intuitive metaphysics" goes to Melanie Mitchell, via her recent AI Podcast interview with Lex Fridman.

One other observation... while we still don't know how far away AGI is (much less ASI), or even if it's possible, the important thing is that we don't need AGI to do many amazing and valuable things. I also doubt many people are actually all that disillusioned that we aren't yet living in The Matrix (or are we???).
Which seems like a good reason for the big ones to swallow it up.

No. If the "fact" is that he can't go to jail or pay a fine in Sweden because he falsely presents himself as an expert, it doesn't mean anybody should support him, or doubt the real expert writing about that.

And I still don't understand what's the intention behind your activity here which includes you being rude.
The data would be more interesting if it factored out people retiring. I'm actually a bit surprised that people from New York and Illinois seem to stay on the East Coast by moving to Florida for the most part. But, in any case, I expect that the Nevada, Arizona, and Florida migrations in particular are driven by retirement to a significant degree.

That said, anecdotally, I do know a fair number of people who have left California and essentially no one who has moved there absent a work-related reason to live there. The state has things going for it but also a lot of negatives--especially CoL in a lot of places.
After you, sir.

All that ops automation they were working on finally comes to fruition. Automation creates surplus labor, and that surplus is realized with the elimination of humor labor, reaping profit in the form of lowering costs.

> Humans are high level signal processing machines.

True, but that's not all humans are. They are also social. They are also creative. At least some of them are also deep logical thinkers. So...

> Therefore the automation of high level signal processing will displace humans in the global market.

That might not be the catastrophe you make it out to be, because humans are more than just that. Humans that have jobs that only expect them to be high-level signal processors are, I suspect, rather rare, maybe even nonexistent.
> “While Western society is individualistic and non-hierarchical, Japanese society is collectivist and hierarchical,” explains Hiroshi Ono, professor of human resources management at Hitotsubashi University, who specialises in Japan’s work culture. “Thus, many people refrain from taking holiday because their bosses do not take holiday, or they are afraid that it will disrupt the group harmony.”

Just FYI, this is complete pablum. While it’s true that Japanese society has a collectivist bent, that this by default maps to some authoritarian business culture, elides the political and ideological project of the right wing in Japan.

Prior to the war and up into the 1970s, Japan was a hotbed of radical politics and labor activism that roiled the country. Unions dominated many industries, socialists and communists won major parliamentary victories, and Japanese thinkers and activists were on the vanguard of many left wing movements.

This state of affairs was, however, completely unacceptable to the US. And so they proceeded to massively subsidize right wing politicians, work with organized crime to intimidate and disrupt unionized workers, and gather intelligence against opposition to the LDP’s rule.

https://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/09/world/cia-spent-millions-...

So if you want to understand why the country has devolved into this kind of crushing exploitation and culture of suffering, you really need to begin with the fact that the US rehabilitated a bunch of fascists, helped orchestrate their rule over the postwar order, and crushed all meaningful challenge to this state of affairs. There’s nothing inherent to the Japanese people that makes any of this necessary.
I don't think this is true. In fact, today, I privately forked one of the aforementioned libraries (httparse) and removed all of the unsafe parts in under an hour (without introducing any new memory allocations, I might add). All the tests pass.

It's not insurmountable. It just takes a little bit of elbow grease and self-discipline ;)
I wonder how often women in STEM have children with men who earn significantly less?

I ask because my partner Is a software engineers. She plans on continuing to work and I plan on staying home with the kids.

Practically speaking it doesn’t totally make sense since I currently earn more being a few years older in the same career. It’s just what we both have wanted since we found one another and we’re willing to make the life adjustments necessary to make it happen

I can’t help wonder how often women partner with men with lower incomes. Obviously the physical toll of baring children tips the scale a little but given couple where the woman makes significantly more than her partner I would imagine the decision would be logical for her to continuing work and wonder what percentage of women leave stem in this particular subset of the group?
The other folks here are giving you a hard time, so I'll just say I actually see things differently here. Things get overlooked, card expiration dates being one of them. Deleting a backup after such a short time is really poor form. Especially because these backups only exist because people need contingencies for machine and human error. Sending a threatening email 'fix your CC in 60 days or everything goes bye-bye' is preferable for almost everyone in this situation, and the difference in cost to DO would be negligible.
I'm not sure about the pace of progress in research, but as an ML engineer at a startup who has been following developments, even if AI research stalls out completely, we've been given a huge set of amazing tools to apply to all kinds of technical problems for years to come.

I also think that even in the absence of massive breakthroughs, there's still plenty of work to be done during a "winter" in filling in the gaps of understanding between various SOTA advances. I think it may be the nature of science to advance in a sort of unbalanced tree of breakthroughs, where we drill down on certain popular and lucrative branches for a while before coming back to fill out and balance the width of the tree, if that analogy makes sense.

Just between transformers/autoencoders, GANs, classic classifiers, and combinations thereof I think we are already poised to see neural networks change society in the next ten or so years in a way similar to the influence of the internet. Especially if hardware and cloud computing continues to scale.
Ya. S3 is awesome but everything else on AWS sucks. I have AWS and only use S3 and nothing else.

Dnsbeat: Automated Anomaly-Detection in DNS Zones (PoC Honeypot Included)
You can measure the dB of noise reduction on a headphone test bench.

Under the Isolation section here they have leakage (sound spilling out to others) and isolation (noise canceling). Keep in mind that dB is nonlinear, and the test results depend a lot on how well the testers fit the headphones on the head - so I would only consider these to be approximations within 1-3 dB of the real value.

https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare

Rtings hasn't (yet) done a pre/post update comparison for the AirPods but you could use the same methodology.

The HyperX Cloud II are a good (isolation/leakage-wise) set of 'normal' over-ear headphones which you can compare the numbers to if you've never used ANC and are curious. And the Sony WH-1000XM3 / Bose 700 are the leading noises canceling over-ear headphones.
This is why I don't use AWS for personal projects (S3 is the only one I'd consider using). EC2 for example is significantly more expensive than a Digital Ocean droplet.
I do think it's legit to avoid libraries with a lot of unsafe code. I myself started avoiding actix after these situations. If folks had simply stopped using it, that would have been a fine outcome here. That's not what happened though.
I understand how he may he feeling, but this is probably the most used web framework for Rust. He may be hurting a lot more people and projects then just the people he disagreed with.

A proper way of handling this would have been to abandon the project and let someone else pick it up.
My understanding is that he did move the source code under his own git user, so hopefully he’ll allow someone else to pick it and maintain.

Are you saying that if you are 10 ft above water you'll be fine in Florida even when areas under 10ft flood?

I really doubt that. It is not about actually losing your home, it is about quality of life, the main reason for moving there in the first place.

There will be a big cost of any flooding, borne by all Floridians

If I could choose, I would like everything to run at the max turbo frequency all the time, yeah.

Still, and despite writing this post which will make a lot of people express something similar to what you wrote, I consider myself an AVX-512 fan, not the other way around. It's the most important ISA extension since, well, I'm not sure: a long time (probably AVX and AVX/2 combined would have a similar impact).

It introduces a whole ton of stuff that is very powerful: full-width shuffles down to byte granularity with awesome performance, masking of every operation, often free, compress and expand operations, and a longer list at [1]. That's only from an integer angle too (what I care about).

Yeah, it's taken AVX-512 a while to get traction (the fact that generation after generation of new chips have just been Skylake client derivatives with no AVX-512 hasn't helped), but I hope we are reaching a turning point.

These transitions are something you have to deal with if you want max performance, and I think we'll come up with better models for how to make the "global" decision of whether you should be using AVX-512.

Yes, and Florida real estate market fundamentals as well as the mortgage bond market and property insurance support my thesis. I specifically paid for sea level rise models before buying Florida real estate, and will likely sell before I die and sea level rise has meaningfully occurred. I-4 and I-75 will be untouched, and other infra is already designed around the Florida environment (hurricanes, high water table). Stay away from the coast, build to current code, and you’ll be fine. Storm surge is your primary coastal concern.

Miami aquifer sea water intrusion is a different issue, but I’m not in Miami. Due to Florida’s population, federal funds are likely to be requested and paid out to mitigate the worst effects. Plenty of water to desal with cheap wind and solar.
So, the guy who sold RxBar ($600m in 2017) moved to Florida from Illinois (Chicago) in this time span, and I'm wondering thinking if that's partly why the Illinois to Florida avg income is so high compared to every other number on the state to state tables.

Edit for additional context, RxBar had no outside funding or venture capital, so that $600m went to the founders and maybe other early employees. https://www.inc.com/robbie-abed/this-chicago-startup-sold-it...
Some of this trees, still alive, were born when Europe was in the Middle Age. The genus is monotypic and exists since the last 200 millions of years or so.

Those are invaluable comprehensive reviews about australian climate and history registering each single, warm, hot and cold year, each volcanic eruption. In a place of the planet without written documents and mostly unknown before the arrival of the white men. We can infer from here if something happened with the macrofauna (when), if people migrations match some harsh decade and dry spell, if it was an equivalent to a small ice age or not, etc. Is a treasure of data.

Blood types in Japan are very analogous to astrological signs in the US.

But you can't compare lego and playing Wii tennis, one is a competitive game, the other is coop. Imagine kids outside playing some competitive kids games and playing Wii, that is more fair comparison. Both will induce similar behavior in kids, at least mine: sometimes getting angry or crying if they're not the best, taking a ball and not wanting to share with others, etc. At some age all kids do that and then they slowly learn to control it better. Of course, going outside and playing with other kids is the best, but sometimes they can't do it and then I see Wii as much better substitute than classic video games or lego or whatever (don't get me wrong, legos are great, just not for the same reasons)
>Is there an objective way to measure this so someone would know it's getting worse?

In principle it should be possible to do standardized testing of any set of headphones or earphones with a properly designed Dummy Head, similar or the same to what is used for things like generating binaural audio recordings. There at least were a number of major Dummy Head designers back when I last looked for something else, though I don't know what the current state of the market is. But basically you have something that physically simulates a human head, including both physically simulated ear pinnae and the ear canals, with microphones embedded within them that have a high enough res and response to completely cover the human discernible audio frequency range.

Obviously it won't tell the exact effect for any given individual because the shape of our ears varies. But it would be possible to have a completely open 3D/material/mic standard that would cover the max range, and could then be used to quantify and objectively compare all aspects of head mounted audio products, not just noise cancellation but audio reproduction. I assume this isn't a thing already in part because a lot of manufacturers are perfectly content without universal objective comparisons, since that would reveal a lot of high cost kit that isn't actually delivering any gains.
Abstraction upon abstraction running containers inside VMs, basically turtles all the way down.
In Rust you at least know where to look at, whereas in C/C++ all code can be "unsafe". With that said, writing unsafe Rust is much easier to screw up than C/C++, since you have to uphold more invariants in unsafe Rust than in C to avoid UB (like never having two mutable references to the same thing at the same time. The very issue which was raised in the actix repository)
It was expensive because it was at an Ivy League school. Most masters students at Ivy League schools do not receive any form of financial aid. It's basically a money printing machine for the university, and I fell for it.

I could've gotten a M.S. for free at my state university, but I wanted the prestige. Dumbest decision ever.

A second-hand Thinkpad 11e might be a better option. They are designed from the get go for the education market (looks like some schools buy them in bulk), and are very sturdy.

I don't think there's an obligation per se, it would just be better.

To make up some numbers: Assume that a paint job lasts 20 years. So if it takes a team of five 20 years to paint the bridge by the time they've reached the end the beginning will need a new coat.

Otherwise every 20 years they would need to hire, train, then fire 200 painters for a 6 month-long paint job project. 200 painters, managers, and etc. who will invariably be less experienced with the finer points of painting said bridge since they don't do it every day.
> I believe responsibilities are personal/societal. They're part of a value system. However, I think I could collate a breadth of sources from landmark open source discussions which show that there are existing major themes for what a maintainer has a responsibility to do (that the open source community has a somewhat predefined value system existing wrt to topic).

I agree with all of this, but I also feel that you need to be mentally prepared for any maintainer to fail to meet these moral responsibilities unless you want to be disappointed and should act accordingly (not saying you don't already do this in practice).

> I accept that it's not a consensus. I just don't think we should conflate obligations, requirements, and responsibilities. That leads to vehement disagreements.

I agree 100%.
