Not exponentially. More like linearly in pixel count, you just tack on another convolution block. (StyleGAN doesn't use self-attention, but even naive self-attention is just quadratic.)

The problem is more that you hit diminishing returns fast from training at higher resolutions. There's not too much difference between training at 1024px or training at 512px and using an off-the-shelf superresolution NN upscaler, but the latter is like 4x faster. So why bother? You don't always even have input data which is 1024px+.

That’s another thing: some people think Kubernetes is something you use if you need high scalability. I disagree. Kubernetes should be the default if your app consists of more than 1 service. If you don’t have high scalability requirements you can rent a single-node GKE “cluster” for about $60 per month.

If you have just 1 service then a single Docker container is all you need, so Kubernetes not needed.
A Linguistic Beef:

The word "Starship" means specifically that the ship is capable of traveling between stars. At a minimum, it should travel from it's home star to the nearest neighboring star.

What we're talking about here are "Spaceships".
--
The only way I can lighten up and enjoy the name Starship in this context is to assume it's being used ironically... like someone who's named their cat "Dog".
Oh, of course, I was talking about the two separate cases of wage increases due to productivity increases (the guy maintaining the widget machine makes more than the guy who used to hand-stamp widgets) and wage increases due to minimum wage increases (all factories must now pay workers $15/hour for making one $8 widget every two hours).
More companies want to be carbon neutral. What does that mean?
There's always more than one way to do things, and it's good to be aware of the trade-offs that different solutions provide. I've worked with systems like you describe in the past, and in my experience you always end up needing more complexity than you might think. First you need to learn Packer, or Terraform, or Salt, or Ansible - how do you pick one? How do you track changes to server configurations and manage server access? How do you do a rolling deploy of a new version - custom SSH scripts, or Fabric/Capistrano, or...? What about rolling back, or doing canary deployments, or...? How do you ensure that dev and CI environments are similar to production so that you don't run into errors from missing/incompatible C dependencies when you deploy? And so on.

K8s for us provides a nice, well-documented abstraction over these problems. For sure, there was definitely a learning curve and non-trivial setup time. Could we have done everything without it? Perhaps. But it has had its benefits - for example, being able to spin up new isolated testing environments within a few minutes with just a few lines of code.
> You don’t have to perceive it as an attack on men if you don’t want to.

I think people react like that because we have been conditioned into thinking that men are to blame for the status quo.
Possibly a simplified answer, but the way I understand it is that the citizens own the oil rights, and get a cut.
> Lower unemployment would be associated with a greater availability of goods and services, so that would get it out of the trap.

That's assuming the goods and services are locally consumed, which in a global economy they're commonly not.

A jet engine factory that moves in and hires a bunch of people reduces local unemployment, but that doesn't mean any of the local workers are in the market for jet engines.

> Higher wages would also be associated with a supply increase if they came with increased productivity, but if you raised the minimum wage then prices of low-end products might actually go up.

Same problem again. If a jet engine factory opens up in a place with already-low unemployment and pays better wages, people quit their lower paying jobs to take the higher paying ones, but that doesn't mean any of the productivity increase is relevant to local housing markets. The workers still aren't in the market for jet engines, but they'll bid up the local housing stock if zoning constrains any more from being built.

The premise that a UBI would increase housing costs is also basically assuming that the money comes from nowhere. If the money was printed that would be the case -- but that's an instance of "printing money causes inflation" rather than "UBI causes inflation." If it comes from collecting taxes then the people who receive it have more money, but the people who pay the tax have less, which more or less cancels out. (Especially when, as with the people in the middle, they're actually the same people and the UBI and the tax directly cancel out.)
I'm curious how, with your experience, that you came to the conclusion that k8s is a monster to run?
This seems to be just another story about the UK's dystopian legal system.

Unless some major details are being left out of this story the evidence behind his conviction seems ludicrously flimsy.

Firstly the assertion that the "gun" belonged to him, just because it was found near his shelter and had his DNA on it. That thing looks so unlike a gun that he could have easily brushed against it or picked it up and not even remembered, leaving some skin cells behind in the process. The fact that a person's DNA is found on objects in the vicinity of where they have been living doesn't seem particularly surprising.

Secondly, who gets to decide what a "firearm" is? All kinds of objects could potentially contain an explosion and fire a projectile.

I fail to see how a jury could possibly reach the standard of "beyond all reasonable doubt" in this case (unless, as I mentioned, some very important details have been left out).
Yeah, I've been applying more often to the smaller ones.
I want UBI and a 30-32 hour work week, so I guess I’m proposing a 20% “disincentivization”.

Would fewer people in the workforce really be so bad? What’s the carbon and water footprint of all of these goods we really don’t need but we bust our humps for anyway? At this point, more robots don’t mean more of the stuff we need. they mean more stuff we don't need.
Problem is the lack of colloquial objective definition of "poor".

The US "poverty line" is at 80th percentile of world incomes. The US's vast welfare/entitlement system ensures few indeed net less than that line, shoring up their shortfall with trillions of $.

What constitutes "poor" keeps shifting. There will always be a bottom 10%. There is ongoing increase to the standard of living, instilling a sense of "nobody should go without X" (when X didn't exist not long before, broadband internet being the latest). Affordable housing gets overrun by population growth & attracting mobile opportunity-seekers, living space naturally going to the highest bidder; property taxes being a thing, there is no recognized natural right to real estate. Health care relentlessly advances, new lifesaving care objectively costing a great deal ... vs a public sentiment of a right thereto.

We need an objective redefinition of "poor", predicated on a baseline of nutrition, housing floorspace, basic tools (stove, disposal, etc), care (minimum optimistic odds of longevity), information access, etc and an understanding that the baseline cannot be shifted - that those doing better are not poor, that accessibility thereto is largely attainable (whatever the sociopolitical system), and acknowledgement that when/if all are above that line, poverty services are officially out of a job.

As it stands, "poor" is a moving target for which a great number of people have a vested interest in covering a consistent, if not growing, population.

Exactly. Something being suspicious is about small differences from what's expected, differences that correlate with something bigger.

Love to force distracted driving!
I imagine he's talking about the response to the Yang campaign, where liberals quite rightly derided his plan to replace all "entitlement" programs with the dramatically smaller $1000/mo UBI. If someone who has been a life-long libertarian looks like he's trying to drive a wedge into social welfare programs, that's probably what is happening.
That's correct so far. Now think further: a single, larger rocket has the advantage of leaving away the tank walls that would be in the inside now. Less mass needed for the tank walls (the outer walls need to become stronger though), more available for payload, extra fuel and oxidizer or extra stuff like things needed for reusability.
> 1. Commits are not read that often and if they are, it's usually recent history. If they are being read very much in the future, then the "why" may not even make sense either.

It depends. If you're looking at the commit log directly, then you would tend to look at recent history, but if you're using something like git blame, you can easily come across commits that are far less recent.

For example, part of your change is to update a line of code in a file. You run git blame and see the commit that introduced that line of code, run git show for that sha1 and see the context around why that line was introduced (e.g., a bug fix). If you don't look at the history, you could easily introduce a regression in the code without realizing it. In other words, the VCS history can be used as a tool to help determine what potential effects a change could have.

> 2. Unbounded limits on commit message lengths leads to some people waffling in their commits. If you can't explain it in 80 characters, you should very much consider breaking it down.

There's no restriction on how long a commit message should be. Convention from the Linux kernel and git itself says the title should be limited to 50 characters and the body should be wrapped at 72 characters (other than things like links and error messages/log lines). There's no restriction on how long a commit message should be.

As for whether to split the commit up, that really depends on whether you're doing multiple things in a single commit, which may or may not have a relation to how long the commit message is. Typically, if you see something like "do A and do B", then that's a sign that the commit should be split into separate ones where one does thing A and the other does thing B.

> Usually it's not possible to isolate a commit from the context of the commits around it.

If you use a combination of git blame and git log, you can get that context. git has a feature that can be used with git log where you can search for whether a string/line was added or removed in a range of commits with the -S flag, or if the number of instances of a string/line changed with the -G flag.

> Usually it's not possible to understand a commit without the larger context of the system.

That's true for people who are new to the project, but using something git blame can help people new to the project find the person/people to ask about why that code was written the way it was.

> Generally if some implementation requires an explanation, it can be better understood as a comment next to the implementation in question.

That largely depends on whether people are diligent about updating the comments when they update the code. If you use git blame and look at the associated commit message for that line of code, it will always be up to date. If you make a change to that line of code, then the new commit message would be associated with that line. In fact, a tell tale sign that a code comment may be out-of-date is if the git blame output shows different commits for the comment and the associated line(s) of code.

The end does not justify the means. Forcibly removing someone's money and transferring it to another person can never be justified. Tax-funded UBI is theft, slavery, and extortion.

However, if a billionaire wishes to privately sponsor UBI, this is a completely different story in charity and example that should be regarded. It's important to differentiate between the two, but unfortunately most UBI schemes refer to extortion, not charity.
Under 200million working age people Seniors already get BI via SS.

People with good paying jobs would pay additional tax that cancels out UBI.

So only the half earning below median would actually take cash out. That's 100M, or $0.5T net expense, a substantial but not order of magnitude tax increase.

Even median is above living wage, so you could reasonably cut even further.
>That's assuming the goods and services are locally consumed, which in a global economy they're commonly not.

But in a global economy that's irrelevant: the greater availability of jet engines where they are used will cascade eventually into a greater availability of bowling balls in the town where they make jet engines.

I agree, I'm sure there are cases where UBI would enable people to move, I just don't think it's going to be a big paradigm shift/massive migration/stir the melting pot kind of thing.

You're right about the housing. If we have government policy that restrains supply (as we clearly do) and at the same time a government policy that stimulates demand (UBI) rents are guaranteed to increase. That doesn't mean UBI is bad, it means the government needs to adopt a radical supply program for housing. Every landlord in America should be put out of business.

That's predicated on an all knowing adversary with unlimited time and budget. In other words it is a largely fictional problem.

Most of the people we're talking about just run off the shelf forensics software and have minimum actual expertise (the government doesn't pay well enough for legitimate experts doing it by hand).

But then again, very few people are crazy enough to modify computer hardware to protect their information. So both sides of this coin might be largely fictional.

Another advantage of Kubernetes over things like Elastic Beanstalk is portability. Your app can move from one cloud to another with minimal effort.

Yet another advantage is portability and durability of your knowledge. Kubernetes has so much momentum, so it is here to stay. It is extensible so third parties can innovate without leaving Kubernetes, which is yet another reason it is going to be around for a long time.

People are not exclusively driven by economics, nor are they immune to economics. For a lot of people, moving to a place with lower COL would mean giving up community and family in their high COL areas. Those networks provide a lot of security that doesn't appear on the books.

Of course, the younger or more flexible you are, areas like yours might be a good opportunity, but it's not a obvious win for every entry level job aspirant.
Maybe those setting the rates believe most of the money will be spent on housing. Two people each living in their own one bedroom apartment will pay more in total than two people living in a two bedroom apartment. The gap is even larger if the couple lives together in a one bedroom apartment. Healthcare, food, and many other expenses will tend to double but not all will. If UBI is meant to cover the basics rather than everything, and housing is most people's largest expense, the amount can be lower for couples and achieve the same result. The problem, as you noted, is many will choose to game the system.
> The pursuit of sustainable living and the pursuit of a multi-planetary existence are parallel endeavours, not serial ones.

I agree that they’re parallel because the reality is that they’re both happening right now. I’m pointing out that there’s a huge risk in not figuring out A before B, which is that we’ll just be transporting our problems to a new planet (and if they succeed, then whoever controls Mars will be able to use their monopoly to exacerbate problems on Earth). Granted, the rocket sure is shiny, though... funny how that trick never fails ;)

> Perhaps the view from Mars will instil a renewed perspective on our dependence on Earth, and teach us lessons on ecological management via terraforming.

Or perhaps you’re in the equivalent of an “early internet” optimism phase around Mars exploration.

We have all the resources we need here. The research around mutualistic living (renewables, land use, food waste, etc) is making that clear. If we’re glorifying hard problems, then the real hard problem is figuring out how to get humanity to share our already abundant resources equitably and peacefully.

Once we solve that problem we will be ready for Mars.

And to be clear I share the dream of exploring the stars. But I can’t in good faith support that dream until we shift from a parasitic to a mutualistic relationship.
I guess in reality, the physicality of the art plays a big part of how you experience and appreciate these types of pieces.
