So I'm mostly one of these people. I can plan what I am about write/say (but I don't have to) and I can "hear my own void in my head" but only with intent. I have to TRY and have a monologue. It gets kinda tiring after a while.

All these questions about "how can you think and reason". In general you just know things and do them. Even when I am meditating and reflecting I don't really use language. Language is the annoying translation layer at the end to communicate with others.

When it comes to reasoning, I have a PhD. I seem to be able to work things out. I'm not a philosophical zombie. This whole "language is essence of reason" idea is BS. Writing/speaking out big arguments does help keep them organized. I did often have difficulty with "knowing" something without being able to explain or reason why when I was growing up. I've gotten better at introspection as I got older and it has helped. Often the answer just is: "the magic heuristic in my head said so"
As with the ostensible Aphantasia I believe that this is a problem with people being able to describe their inner experiences accurately. It makes way more sense to me that >99% of people fall into the behavior category that you described, rather than that 10% of people don't have an internal monologue.

FWIW, my experience lines up very closely to yours.
> How can they form the thought 'I wish that was real' if they have no monologue?

Guessing -- a feeling of wistfulness and desire related to the sentence they just read?

> And to convey that thought they just open their mouth and spew forth a sentence with no knowledge of its shape?

I don't understand what this means. Do you know what you're going to say, before you say it? I mean the actual words? I have the intent to convey some information or meaning, but I don't know the exact words I'll say until I'm saying them. I've queued up intent or agreement or objections but in a normal conversation I don't hear the words until they come out of my mouth.
Anyway it’s irrelevant because to the filesystem the SSD is supposed to look like it does not in fact have all these errors. ZFS doesn’t really care about the storage format apart from perhaps supporting TRIM.
Yeah, but how about this:

select region_fleet, case when status = 'delivered' then 'delivered' else 'not delivered' end as status, date_trunc('week', day) as week, count(distinct row(day, so_number)) as num_orders, count(distinct case when scheduled_accuracy_meters <= 500 then row(day, so_number) else null end) as num_accurate, avg(scheduled_accuracy_meters) as scheduled_accuracy_meters from deliveries where ... group by 1, 2, 3

vs.:

SELECT region_fleet, CASE WHEN status = 'Delivered' THEN 'Delivered' ELSE 'Not Delivered' END AS status, DATE_TRUNC('week', day) AS week, COUNT(DISTINCT ROW(day, so_number)) AS num_orders, COUNT(DISTINCT CASE WHEN scheduled_accuracy_meters <= 500 THEN ROW(day, so_number) ELSE NULL END) AS num_accurate, AVG(scheduled_accuracy_meters) AS scheduled_accuracy_meters FROM deliveries WHERE ... GROUP BY 1, 2, 3

... because a lot of time, when these nicely-formatted statements get parsed, the whitespace gets condensed, and when it gets spit out in an error message, I for one would like the all-caps keywords to be landmarks to direct my eye.
I'm not sure what point you're making, but it sounds like this is less about how you define the self and more about how you define involuntary. The heartbeat is an involuntary action and is simultaneously part of yourself. That's all I mean.

I bet GP meant it to ironic. That said, having a backup and knowing that the data was just corrupted are two different things. In a word without storage level CRC checks, it is possible an otherwise successful test is overlooked and we move on to 'n + 1' in the iteration.

But that said, hopefully all filesystems have some sort of error to show the file has been damaged.
The thing that annoys me is the standard operating procedure in tech is to offer stuff for free until a bunch of people depend on it and then to start charging as much as you possibly can once there's a large enough customer base that a reasonable percentage won't have any choice but to bear the updated costs.

Mailgun did a pretty nice job by offering a pay-as-you-go tier, but they still took features from the free plan and moved them into a paid tier where you have to spend a minimum of $420 per year.

I use Mailgun for less than 100 emails per month, but happen to use the receive filtering that's not going to be available with pay-as-you-go. I don't expect them to give me anything for free, but I'm not going to pay $420 / year for something that costs $.72 using your estimates.
Diffraction and airy disks have an impact as mentioned by a sibling comment, but the simplest explanation I've used is that ultimately you're capturing photons, and if you have a larger sensor you can capture more photons. More photons are better. Of course you need a larger lens with a longer focal length to match the same field of view, but that's the basic idea.

yup, agreed. I generally would consider your step2 as part of the lifecycle of a well architected monolith, but calling it out as a separate step is certainly clearer, and does reflect more of what I have seen "work well" in the real world too.
Zoning isn't always the cause of this problem either. Zoning may very well be logical in that it properly restricts housing development when the town/city resources can't accommodate more residents -- sometimes there is a finite amount of freshwater, power and other resources available to an area... especially in California where mountainous terrain separates significant concentrations of people within and near some major cities.

That's not to say those resources can't be scaled up, but those changes require time and money where forcing new zoning may create new problems quickly while trying to solve an old one.

Zoning laws might be the right method in some cases, but I'd also like to see laws, tax incentives, etc for solutions that solve multiple problems.

For example, some of my coworkers work remotely 100% of the time. Many more would do the same if they were allowed. One of my coworkers moved to a farm far from his city apartment when he was able to work remotely. Not only does that help with the housing situation, it reduces emissions, reduces traffic, etc. An incentive for moving employees to remote work could dramatically reduce, maybe even reverse urban inflow.

It could also be very helpful to the economy as it would distribute more high earning individuals over a larger area, instead of most living in and around major cities. For example, I know a couple people who moved back to the midwest when they were allowed to work remotely. It's not a one-size-fits-all solution either, but it is one of many options that should be considered.
In practice, splitting your code into consumable libraries/modules works equally as well.

Then your monolith is just all the modules glued together.

This has gotten me into a lot of trouble in my life. I don't use internal monologue to read - that means that I can be reading and listening to someone at the same time, and comprehend both. But, even if I can prove I heard and understood everything someone said, they inevitably view it as rude if I am reading something while listening to them.

We have a similar thesis in Dark. People do microservices because they have to (well, some people have to, some people do them cause they're shiny). But in terms of actually understanding your application, microservices really don't help. And they bring so much complexity with them.

Our concept is to allow the decoupling of microservices, with the tooling of a monolith. Kinda hard to describe and we haven't done it yet, but basically give you the ability to write it as a monolith, but also have the separate scalability/deployment of a microservice.

I think that the bicameral mind hypothesis makes sense.

Oh, and the phenomena wherein the disconnection of the hemispheres of the brain results in strange cognitive artifacts such as being able to give two different answers to one question, even questions like "what is your favorite color," points to at the very least some kind of parallel consciousness. Another hypothesis is that one hemisphere is the "speaking" brain and the other is the "listening" hemisphere. That is, only one of the consciousnesses can talk -- and that's the one we call "me"; maybe it should be "us."

The measure fails despite more Yea than Nay votes. The California State Senate has 40 seats and always require 21 votes to pass. Vacancies (currently 1), absences and abstentions don't appear to affect the denominator of the 51% threshold. As a result, Not Voting is essentially a disguised no vote.

When I close my eyes the images I can produce are no more vivid than the images I can produce with my eyes open. E.g., I can picture the car driving down the street behind me, or I can imagine a sphere in front of me. But in either can it's semi-transparent. It's like a hologram places in 3d-space relative to my-self, and it doesn't matter if my eyes are open or not. This is what I consider imagination. I thought this is how it worked for everyone.

How does this relate to what you're saying? Are you considering this visualizing things or not?

Looking at the TiKV compile time graph, if that's for 2 million lines of real-world (not synthetically generated) code, that actually seems kind of reasonable.

~12 min for a full release build?
~5 min for a full dev build?
What looks like several seconds for an incremental build?

I suppose it's good that a (former?) core contributor and large user of Rust holds the language to such high standards, but this doesn't seem especially bad.

I'm kind of curious how much faster compiling a large Go codebase is. How fast, e.g. does the entirety of Kubernetes compile? I'd imagine it's probably under a minute, but is it several seconds?
Maybe it's a combination of both, and you're just more attuned to the nuance? It's funny, when you mentioned November Rain I did the guitar noises, in my voice, in my head. Great, now that's stuck in there. Thanks. But something like the Star Wars sound-track. I do hear a more instrumental version, although for parts that I can sing I also get some ghostly sensations in my tongue and throat.

I've sent a lot of mail in the last 14 years, and it's not hard.

I spammed with invite mails to users friends back in 2008 and mail started to end up in spam for a while, but after switching to double opt-in for all mail and making unsubscribing easily available it went back to good. Add some periodic list cleaning of long time inactive subscribers and it works perfectly!

It does get harder if you have to account for bad users, but if you're the only user then you can make sure everything is good.

So, is it hard? That depends entirely on how wanted or unwanted the sent mail is.

I'm OCD but I definitely don't internal monologue. I do get stuck in what I call a "simulation loop" as I play out possible scenarios in my head and I can totally talk in those, but I have to intentionally "pretend to talk to myself" to talk to myself. In general the only time I hear "a voice in my head" is when I imagine/simulate saying something to somebody else.

>It’s unfortunate that the state senate doesn’t seem to want to treat the housing shortage with the urgency that it deserves.

The state senators are probably making quite a bit of money off this housing shortage that they wouldn't make with an adequate housing supply on the market.
I don't know that we should let cities like Redwood City off the hook. Between 2000 and 2013 their housing stock expanded by only 2%, whereas the historical pace is 1% per year, or 15% over 14 years. Their history of inaction should not be ignored.

Finally, I've found somebody like me. I was starting afraid about how my brain works. Can I hear the sounds? is that the sound? where are the words? Oh, here I can see now.

> ...the network effect of so many adopters means that it should be the default choice for any container situation.

People assume that just because Docker and lxd do "containers", they are somehow equivalent and it's simply a matter of choosing between the two. But they are far from equivalent. It's not a choice between two competing technologies that achieve the same goal at all.
AFAIK, the problems with running Pytorch on TPUs have mostly been ironed out.

Also, this move makes a lot of sense for OpenAI. TF is a nightmare of different modules kludged on top of one another, many of which do the same thing. The API has changed so much even in a few years that code from previous versions won't run without -- in some cases -- significant modification. Finally, it's always been horrible to debug, since it obfuscates the actual workings of the network behind a sess.run().

Pytorch is not only a far more productive language (by virtue of the fact that it's far easier to debug), it also has a better ecosystem now because old code still runs. For students, it's also far easier to look at a Pytorch implementation and figure out what the author has actually done. If it's a choice between getting your hands dirty with low-level TF, bending Keras to your will, or putting something together in Pytorch, the latter is just the better choice. It works on TPUs, and it has Tensorboard, a C++ API for robotics, and (afaik) recently developed deployment tools.

The cost of switching from TF to Pytorch is vastly outweighed by the loss of inertia that OpenAI will experience if they don't, simply because everyone else is using a toolkit that they don't support.

Yeah I think you'd want the microservice to expose an bulk export API point, to an API specification. It might need to transform data most likely and possibly ignore some data. And then you grab data from those and piss them into the lake. The lake now conforms to your published APIs.

To me this sounds great. And honestly you should do the same thing with a monolith. Nothing worse than "oh you can't make that schema change because a customer with a read-only view will have broken reports".
Splitting code into libraries works better, it's simpler and faster. The only thing micro services bring to the table is being to deploy updates independently (although this is also possible with libraries). If you don't need to deploy independently then micro services are useless complexity, if you can't deploy independently then you've got a distributed monolith.

But I still don't get the point though.. unless of course you are arguing that a non-Prop-13 world would have reduced tax for everyone under 1%. That isn't going to happen. we have never reduced taxes in Californa :)

Now let us look at it from the other side

1. The family, probably unfairly, benefited from not having to pay the full tax for so long.

2. In scenario that you mentioned the kid just inherited a $1m+ house. What part of it makes him poor that he can't pay the new property taxes? Sure, they might choose to cash out and go live somewhere else because it makes financial sense for him, but that is not `an unfortunate` situation at any stretch.

3. I know there are significant cost-basis advantage here, in additional to all the wealth just inherited, but I don't know enough about it yet.
CA property taxes are cheap enough that your taxes on that new big value you just inherited are still gonna be way lower than you'd pay rent for something else nearby... and often be pretty good even compared to some other big cities not in CA.

Or you have multiple kids and you sell the place and split the cash... nice windfall, taxes or no.

Meanwhile, the people whose parents DIDN'T leave them one of those houses are still way worse off...
Yes, you tell those people the software is "self healing".

Yeah, I was just talking to someone who had approx $250K in savings, and another $250K in seed capital. Additionally, they would easily qualify for another $250K in credit financing if desired.

The upshot is: they will probably take a bigger risk. Targeting enterprise grade hardware, rather than consumer internet. But in no way would I construe that as translating into a higher TAM, or probability of success, or ability to execute.

I feel incredibly blessed by my own position. Being able to bootstrap on little more than allotted cloud credits.

And to be honest you can start with less. There are people sourcing orders without a product first via pre-sales commitments.
