I really wish Apple Music just had a list (station? Whatever) I could listen to that showed me music I’m likely to enjoy based on the thousands of songs I have ‘liked’ in my library.

I was disappointed to find that didn’t exist when I signed up. It’s what I was looming forward to the most.
More importantly, the flu has a vaccine. New versions of it are released each year according to what health organizations think will be the dominant variants.

The new virus has no vaccine.
Yes. In the sense that current gen figters are often called upon to strafe ground targets, in the absence of air targets. Even in less asymmetrical warfare, its very common for there to be not very many ground targets for periods of time, and then a whole bunch all at once. This means that while we can have dedicated ground attack planes to take up the baseline loads, it's useful to have fighters able to take up the slack on any variable load spikes, even if they aren't quite as good at it, they can be used for other things when demand isn't quite so high.
This thing only shoots 12mp images (and only in black and white). Nothing like what you'd get from an actual large format film camera.

My comment is rooted in a general reluctance to make assumptions about things that have empirical or theoretically provable answers, particularly ones that could be obtained without much effort. Some people call it "science."
Even if you have a monolith, you’re still going to have multiple sources that you want to report on. Even in an incredibly simple monolith I could imagine you’d have: your app data, Salesforce, Google Analytics. Having an ELT > data warehouse pipeline isn’t difficult, and what reporting use case is undermined by the data being a few minutes old?
Sovereign can be used as is to create linux container with LXD without any changes. You can create container image and than use it across your immutable infrastructure.

Don’t waste time in Docker, for this purpose use lxd containers [1]. LXD containers are more secure than docker in general and provide support for unprivileged containers for over 5 years. You can use your ansible scripts to create and manage your container images the way you manage bare metal or a VM. Indeed the modern LXD can help you seamlessly manage VM or Linux container [2], because when you need to directly access underlying host hardware VM is still more secure than container. Also with mount syscall interception in version 3.19 of LXD [3], it is possible to mount NFS inside container in a more secure way with unprivileged container running in user namespace.

Initially docker itself was built using lxc [4], but then decided to re-invent the wheels to build its own libcontainer without any significant advantage over lxc, just NIH. Obviously given all the money which went into docker and than kubernetes using it. Docker is more famous in spite of being inferior because of the marketing money spend on it like Java (a language which is famous because, sun spend over 500 million in early years of its inception on marketing). Kubernetes is famous and a valid tool for google level of problems for 90% of startups LXD is a better fit. This is the same fight like old times when inferior technology wins due to sheer marketing like Blu-ray won but rendered not as useful, same is docker.

From the guide it sounded like you need a Finnish limited liability company to be able to service domestic Finnish clients.

Or would Finnish companies be able to pay an on-site freelancer with an American LLC just as easily?
> you're imposing your personal values on consumers who demonstrate their willingness to exchange personal data for free services every day.

Are they demonstrating their willingness, or do they simply not understand that there is a choice to be made? Considering the trivial difference in mapping performance in most places, I doubt most people would be willing to give up their privacy in exchange for saving a few seconds on their drive to the mall.

If people were truly aware of how much data is collected on them, how many people would opt in for the marginal benefits you get in return?
win96@H+ mail.ch ; switch chem abbreviation for the subatomic particle it represents. https://github.com/WhatCD/Gazelle I'm wondering how they make their similar artist connections, tried looking through the code but only found code pulling from a DB rather than how they generate the db.
You were responding to a specific complaint, and I was responding to your response.

European governments are throwing money at questionable startups in the hope of replicating SV. Being opposed to that is not the same as not believing in investment as a general principle (?!).
Yeah, this happens in SF too, which uses an antiquated gravity based single pipe system. It works cause of the hills, but it does have this problem. I read that a bit of old Sacramento uses this system too, otherwise you won't find it in California.

https://www.sfweekly.com/news/shit-storm-why-wont-sf-stop-fl...

This is a good article. The upshot - San Francisco broadened pipes in wealthier uphill areas to reduce local flooding, creating a large bottleneck in a few lower income low-lying areas, so on very heavy rain days, yep, raw sewage backs up into residential areas (lower income, and among the few places in SF that still have a high percentage of children). To make it worse, San Francisco passed laws against paving over front yards, but in typical SF fashion doesn't really enforce the law, so every year, more and more storm water is diverted into the combined sewage/storm draining system. I'm not kidding when I say someone will probably die from this - during one of these floods, someone's dog was electrocuted, and like I said, there are a lot of children living in unpermitted downstairs units with dodgy wiring.

This issue, while maybe not the single most pressing issue facing SF, is the one that goes farthest to convinces me that San Francisco's city government is inept. These are the people who are going to manage the infrastructure preparation for the more frequent and intense storms that accompany global warming?

Man I can't even imagine. I realize a while back that I don't actually hear music in my head when I have an earworm, instead I hear a representation of it made entirely of what would be vocalized sounds. So if I'm hearing the guitar solo from November Rain, its kind of like someone (me, really) going 'bowwwww owww nah nahhhh nah nahahhhhhhh wan nah nah nah nah wah wah' rather than actual guitar noises, but then it's followed up by the singers legitimate voice.

My wife found this pretty weird. I suspect it's related to my also experiencing aphantasia. It could be some form of mental lossy compression, where the brain knows it can roughly replicate what it heard using the limited set of vocalizations it already knows instead of actual note/instrument combinations.
> I think punishing the engineer would be much less practical than the CEO.

Of course. I wouldn't really ever consider engineers to be to blame - they could whistleblow of course, but the people that inked the deal and brought it to the engineers should be held responsible.

If we can't hold the tech industry responsible for this, what hope do we have holding them responsible for murkier issues like privacy/data collection?

How is your comment relevant to the OP topic? As mentioned by chrispauley and jdsully elsewhere in this thread, this "charge" is not Boeing charging NASA, but rather Boeing reserving some of its own money to cover a possible future expense.

As far as I know, std library specifically uses the word "nonzero" in the documentation to denote non-false value. Therefore you should be using !, &&, || for any boolean ops, but never == nor !=
> But in this case, a research institution is getting more money, presumably to be able to fund further research.

Yes, research that can't be used for reasonable amounts of money, and therefore out of reach for startups.
I agree that this is not the direction that I want Linux to go. I object to systemd all by itself for the same reason, and it's why I'm moving from Linux to BSD.

I haven't played with this, though. I don't have a use case for it.

I'm with you on the blue elephant, it's big clear visual and concrete. But more abstract concepts I feel a word helps me maintain clearer distinction between variations of related concepts, such as between 'duplicitous' and 'dishonest'.
With layered concepts, I feel a word allows me to work with a concept as a symbol, without holding the full complexity of the concept in my head at the time : 'cross site request forgery', 'franked investment tax credits refund', 'microservice' or 'monolith'.

I know that I don't _need_ the word to think of concepts, but my experience is that I _do_ use them, it feels like I'm actually using higher level concepts that are organised around or at least paired with words, and that having a word somehow becomes my entry point to vividly reconstruct a complex concept. As your example illustrates, if something can be illustrated with a visual image, or a another sensory experience, this happens wordlessly, but a word can substitute for a concept that has no sensory association.
Apple gave them an option that was better than all others available to them. Otherwise they would be doing that other option instead. So thanks, Apple!
Honestly, the redesign aside, it's really impressive how quickly they are catching up with most Google Maps features. Given, I haven't tried these myself and can't attest to their quality, but in the article they list: Real-Time Transit info, Sharing ETA, Indoor Maps, etc. They also got street view, and more.

Of course, it's much easier to copy features than innovate, the latter takes years of UX research, while the former can simply just take all the lessons learned and implement the final iteration. That being said, it sounds like Apple has invested big time on their Maps team, doing so much is so little time is truly impressive.
> It's humbling and really cool to see [cartographers, mapping specialists, GIS data nerds, mobile computing / compression phds, GPS parsing engineers, ex-dod intertial navigation specialists, etc.] enter the "rockstar" stadium to deliver something that legitimately changes the way that billions of humans interact with the world

The thing is, they did this before. But the interaction just wasn't direct. All of those people were doing important work for government and business organizations wherever getting around and knowing where you and other things are mattered, and improving the quality of services.

Now we get first-hand experience with their work, which is fantastic. Map apps are probably the thing that most enticed me onto a smart phone and the thing I'd have a hardest time giving up.

I just hope that every time we remember the before and after for these amazing conveniences, we remember that all these disciplines and professionals were important beforehand, and that there are others that are woven quietly into public and private life. Because there's a lot of voices right now that seem interested in burning down institutions and not enough curiosity in what those institutions have done for us.
I believe the vast majority (if not all) of the code is in C++. They stopped using Ada because it was too hard to find programmers that already knew it

And what would the students gain? I mean, I get that younger people want to become professors, but the students are better off being taught by somebody who’s been teaching and researching the field in question as long as possible.
Very few people are aware how other people are different. It seems we're mostly hardwired to assume others think exactly like us. Superficially, we socially agree of similar forms, but once you take notice, each person offers their own universe! If taken aback others can be different, maturity still not there. Still waiting to bloom.

While discussing lucid dreaming with my partner, we both learned that she has aphantasia. I think it blew my mind more than it did hers. Things like, "I pictured that character so much different when I read the book" after watching a movie-- she always thought people were just saying that because they had different ideas of the characters mannerisms, or the text conveyed something different to them... Not that they could actually play out a scene in their head.

It got me thinking about a lot of ways we go about teaching. Math for example - my partner struggled with calculus in uni when presented an equation she hadn't seen something similar to before. It never occurred to me that people couldn't attempt to "graph" something in their head.
Me too. My mind is always going off on different tangents playing out various scenarios, even ones that almost certainly won’t happen. I haven’t been formally diagnosed but I suspect I have some level of ADHD as well.

On the other hand the random thoughts if I can stick with them long enough do help me form a coherent train of thought. It’s a bit hard to explain, but sometimes my mind is not “clear”. I’d be noodling on a problem (typically not a technical one, more like social or life problems) and feel like there should be a solution but it’s just out of my reach. If I keep focusing on that one issue it have a hard time coming to a conclusion. If however I follow the random tangents a bit then some how the various tangents converge on something useful.

Of maybe I’m just weird.
Why is it a bad thing for your brain to be running DFS all the time? Is it a wasteful use of time? Does it cause behavioral issues? Is it a personal choice? Or...?
I read this somewhere on HN: if your company has $1 million in ARR with 3 people, you'll likely feel need to hire more people, even if the 3 people get the job done.

Now repeat this with $1 billion in ARR...you get the picture.

My objection is mostly with sequential languages. It turns people into effective but linear thinking automaton following task-lists.

There is this inner monologue orchestrating the actions occasionally listening to intuitions and random thoughts popping in your mind.

Whereas the mind in its natural form is highly non-linear, like a multitude of information processing filters, and independent processes. For example you can train your mind to set a mental clock. You can put some things in a corner of your mind to have it being sorted to make sense out of it. You can orchestrate it, but you can also let your mind orchestrate itself. You can let it fly.

Some kids have imaginary friends, some people see auras, others have Spyro the dragon roaming their room as they type. Every day now with neural networks we can have a glimpse of how machines thinks and visualize things, and with a little training and imagination, most of these techniques are.

Our languages today are bad! They are thought limiting! They are not there to express our thoughts but to communicate effectively between people, and that's the fundamental bottleneck.

Don't let a bad language ruin a good mind, have this monologue orchestrate in silence like a good conductor.

It's actually worst than that because cartesian product is the default mode of SQL. JOIN clauses are already a kind of mitigation that force you to be more explicit.

With modern SQL even if you only mention no table at all in the FROM clause you can get "duplicate" if you use set returning function (see: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-srf.html).

This is both why you should be careful and why this is a really powerful tool to manipulate datasets. But usually "everything is a cartesian product" is one of the first (and yes very important) thing you learn of SQL.
A single TPU v3 has 8 cores, so that’s 128GB memory total, which is more than any single GPU currently.

The TPU software does data parallelism (in Tensorflow) transparently, and it’s somewhat easier to do model parallelism because the memory link is solid and requires no special setup / drivers. You’ll still get an OOM from XLA if you have a tensor that won’t fit in the 16GB of a single core.

TPU pods are easier to use than clusters of infiniband-linked volta boxes. For TPUs you just give GCE money and make some small changes to your use of the TPU API. For the volta cluster you’d probably need to bring your own orchestration (e.g. Horovod). So a TPU pod is easier for one person to use and admin currently.
We have powerful computer software today that lets a single CAD engineer replace a room full of draftsman. We can spin up 20 different virtual designs then test them in virtual wind tunnels before a single physical mockup is made. Material science advances also can make your job easier in areas like friction and keeping weight down.

So while I agree things are orders of magnitude more complex, our tools are also much more powerful.

JSF studies started in 1993, when the fastest computer was a 235.8 GFLOPS behemoth -- roughly the speed of a midrange gaming GPU today.
Fortunately, millitary budgets aren't actually fixed, and we could just reduce them. However, sucessive administrations have failed to do so, from both major parties.

What does Google Analytics have to do with datalakes? Are you talking about some specific scenario?
Well..it seems to me extremely crass, more like a youtube comment, or something out of a Bill & Ted movie.

The question wasn't a real question. It seemed some kind of showing off. If you really want to know the answer you'd google it. If you ask in public like that it seems something else.

The comment felt like "Drugs! Rock'n'Roll! I'm Cool!" and little else. I'm not into opiates or rock'n'roll (or fake questions), so it was 100% turn-off.

Why, what value do you think the comment had?
You noted the possibility that you might have mental images or monologue but don't experience them. That's interesting.

I expect someone will object that it's logically contradictory to propose that you have an inner monologue but don't experience it; I don't think it is, actually.

I get migraines. I've experienced them for about forty-five years. They're not just headaches. They're some kind of unusual neural and vascular activity in the brain that can cause a whole slew of weird effects.

One effect that I've experienced many times is called scotoma. It's a phenomenon where a region of the visual field is taken over by a vivid abstract pattern. Scotomas take various shapes, but they generally have a few things in common: they are more vivid than real seen objects; they often flicker rapidly and may move slowly; they often have high-contrast black-and-white-striped zigzag patterns; they may be surrounded by faint or vivid colorful auras that pulse or stream.

I've seen lots of scotomas over the years with all of these attributes.

One time just a few years ago I was reading a good book and I began to notice the mild visual distortions that alert me to an oncoming scotoma. There's nothing much I can do about them, and I was really interested in the book, so I sort of shrugged and figured I'd continue reading until I had to stop.

I never had to stop.

The scotoma came on full-force and took over the center of my visual field. I couldn't see anything except the scotoma directly in front of me.

Nevertheless, I was able to continue reading without any trouble. Well, the scotoma was distracting, but it didn't prevent me from reading.

As you can imagine, I found this really weird. If you don't believe me, I don't really blame you. I found it so surprising that I started reading the book aloud, as if that would somehow serve as a reasonable test that I wasn't simply making up the contents of the book without realizing it.

I continued reading. The scotoma eventually faded away, and I could confirm that, yes, the pages I had read while I couldn't see them were just as I had heard myself reading them aloud.

This experience suggests to me that seeing the book is one process, but consciously experiencing the seeing of it is another, completely separate, process. The migraine sabotaged my ability to consciously experience seeing the book, but it didn't interfere with the process of actually seeing or reading it.

If that's true, it suggests that the process of running an internal monologue, or of constructing internal images, could be separate from the process of being conscious of them. Perhaps you indeed have an internal monologue and you simply don't experience it?
If you think telling colleagues not to "simply go and poke your reporting fingers into" things won't insult them or put them on a defensive footing, I encourage you to try it and closely note the reception you receive. In my experience, people do not appreciate being spoken to like that.
