Of course Zuck is the problem, but not for any fact checking lapse. He is the architect of Facebook and therefore responsible for the business model and the Algorithm. It's been clear for years now that the business model is paving a road to disaster. The outrage/dopamine factory and closed loop reinforcement combined with making personas available to the highest bidder should be criminal. Maybe Zuck didn't know in 2015, but by 2017-2018 it was clear what was happening on FB/Twitter/YouTube. The Cambridge Analytica scandal could have provided an excuse and cover to pull the reigns in, but if he did, I am unaware (except for losing the exact way CA was able to get it's data).

Very informative article and a new angle in the fight against this disease.
I go in and out of development and ops and devops. 20 years.

To me as a developer heroku is the gold standard.

Docket-compose makes sense.

Kubernes and helm is a giant soul crushing wtf On getting anything done.

Now I’ll get it figure it out. Angular + exhaust+ typescript was a similar experience after I took a break from front end for a few years. A few months of pain, then it starts clicking.

but this just seems insane for a basic web app.
So many different tools needed to get it going.
Tutorials all have many steps that don’t apply, or use other odd pieces swapped in.
> On SSDs, swapping out anonymous pages and reclaiming file pages are essentially equivalent in terms of performance/latency

…but very much not equivalent in terms of how much you are wearing out your SSD.

> Swap can make a system slower to OOM kill

This is almost always actually a bad thing. Turning on swap means your system goes from randomly killing processes to suddenly running 100x slower than it used to and then randomly killing processes.
Californians do not consider non-competes reasonable at all, even at that "seniority" level. Search for "Mark Hurd Oracle HP" -- HP was not able to win that case in California.
I just saw an article that the AI is capable of identifying the person with 98% accuracy even with the face mask covering till eyes.

It was one of the protestors throwing something to the cop car recently, and they were able to identify her.

The unemployment rate is nowhere near 100%. There are a lot of workers already having to make this function, five days a week, right now.
My biggest gripe is that nobody designs for no swap.

With flash file systems, swap is a Bad Idea(tm).

However, whenever I disable swap, all manner of Linux systems freak out because they are used to never having to actually deal with out of memory (having swap on Linux means your entire system becomes totally unresponsive long before anything actually flags out of memory). Linux doesn't help this by overcommitting memory that it doesn't actually have.
The problem with your analysis is that you're not considering just how much "loss" we were averting via lockdowns. Do you think those negative effects of our partial lockdowns outweigh 5X more COVID casualties, including many from preventable deaths that have nothing to do with COVID? We need a functional healthcare system, we could not allow it to become overwhelmed and collapse. There's also the ethical issue of allowing a disease to run rampant and ravage our elderly population - could we recover morally and ethically if we allowed 100's of thousands of older folks to die long, painful deaths so our economy was a tad stronger?
Holy shit! Thank you!!!!
Apollo 13 was a much better movie to point to with regards to STEM types saving the day, despite the artistic license it takes.
Once you say something generally works, it's a magnet for "doesn't work for me" responses. "Yeah, just fine for me too" is not really a response worth writing / it's discouraged. Forums are terrible for finding consensus / getting real stats.
On one hand, this is a click-bait article. Every state has some sort of catch all laws about abusing government granted authority. For any given specific type of abuse of power not all of them will also make that specifically illegal as a standalone crime. The presence of a standalone statute for a particular type of official misconduct says nothing about how hard a state prosecutes misconduct within its own ranks in general (which tends to be a reflection of what people expect of their government). Just because a state has a million specific statutes about what isn't allowed means it prosecutes violations. Just because a state has a couple catch-alls doesn't mean they are not enforced.

On the other hand, I recall when this story originally made the rounds in 2017/2018 and the general sentiment was that no prosecution would happen because "thin blue line" and all that. It's a pleasant surprise to see the officers eventually be charged. Prosecuting misconduct by agents of the government when it is politically convenient (i.e. when people are rioting over police misconduct and the DAs need to be seen "doing something") is a step on the way toward prosecuting it in the default case.
Pay more is the Salesforce motto.
But the fact that the technology is considered viable given this failure mode is what reflects the bias. If a vendor has tech that can only distinguish white faces it will sell it as “detect your best customers and offer them special deals when they enter your store.” If the tech can only recognize black faces it will be sold as “recognize known criminals in the neighborhood and alert police when they enter your store.”
I would elide the word "statistical" from your comment but otherwise I totally agree.

I love how this issue has become political and non scientific! First it was “listen to the science”, now it’s something else?

Aren’t the major donors to certain political groups the teachers union? A much smarter person perhaps could tell me what these incentives might reveal...
Frankly, much of Apple’s search technology over the years has been terrible so (assuming it’s a competency issue) they should at least consider buying something better. The App Store certainly can’t find things well...I suspect that is “by design” though. Long ago I had to replace Spotlight with Alfred to get good performance on the desktop.

Apple isn’t an ad company, I can’t imagine they’d make a significant amount of money releasing a general search engine just to have one.
That's quite an assumption. While I was WFH, I know quite a few friends (also parents), who had to work. Essential workers.

Something highly directional is much more likely to be something intelligently-designed, so the razor cuts both ways here. Not trying to argue btw, genuinely just discussing.
I think in some of these cases the items are pre-packaged for shipment. There's some inflection point where 90% of customers who order item X order only that item, and it makes sense to have them ready to just slap a label on and go. I'd imagine that the packing stage could become a bottleneck for a busy time at a DC, and pre-packing single items would not only lighten the load during a rush, it would also allow those packing stations to remain occupied during a lull.

Obviously, Prime also pushes people toward single-item orders, which helps justify this strategy, and also increases people's dependence on a service level that is hard for competitors to match who aren't at a scale where these kinds of approaches work out.

Kind of a fail that the system wouldn't flag a 20-parcel order as something that needed a human to ok it, but who knows, perhaps it was reviewed after the fact and something got tweaked.
Ah, I wasn’t clear. The caliber is “meh, this is neat, I’d watch it on Netflix or Prime” - not “I’d pay $100 for this.”
You misunderstand. I am definitely not anti-science. The point is we would probably be much further ahead and have many more impactful discoveries if this sort of nonsense wasn't happening, and good people who want to improve the world were given the maximum opportunity to do this. Instead these people are constantly exploited by sociopathic careerists who manage to rise to the top in many places.
Met Professor Jon Dowling in Sydney (Australia) through our mutual friend and collaborator Dr Peter Rohde. I fondly recall going to an underground whisky bar—with a retinue of postdocs and a couple of academics—with Jon regaling us with stories, and buying us all the whisky ! – Was even able to selfishly take him aside to talk nonlinear optics and my own research topics, which he gave expert insights into (and we later had some back-and-forth over online).

Really sad to hear of his passing. He will surely be missed.

Thanks for posting this Professor Scott Aaronson—and as we say—wish his family long-life.
Heroku I configure external items with some environments variables. Often there is a simple command to do it for me.

> Due Process means that you should be able to know the rules a system will follow if you participate in that system.

I don't understand why we are changing the meaning of words. Due Process means a particular thing, and that is the legal requirement that the state must respect all legal rights that are owed to a person.

Why are we now changing that to mean the rights of a person and their social network?

If a corporation chooses to filter your speech on its property, then it should be subject to the wraith of public opinion and vice versa, whether that is via algorithm or via CEO Decree. The effect is the same. People need to start making the distinction that they are using Facebook's property and their first amendment rights are limited on another person's property.

I feel like when we muddy the waters by making Facebook seem like a quasi-state, then we get into problems.
>...but I might just be too cynical.

This was exactly my translation of the statement.

When analyzing large business decisions, I find the most success when viewing through cynicism. Self-interest is after all the primary driver of most businesses.
I had a production server with 512G memory with 0 swap. It was running some ldap server. Every week, this ldap server needs a restart due to some slownesss. Adding swap has cured it.
But if I upgrade to 32 GB or RAM, would I even need the swap? I guess my question is: why is swap not dynamic like pagefile.sys on Windows? The pagefile grows and shrinks as it’s needed. But a swap partition doesn’t; it’s size is set at creation.

People don't usually protest in person unless they really believe in the underlying cause. There are developers on HN who worry about a 500 millisecond delay in their app because users are so fickle that half a second puts them off.

If people don't have half a second of patience, how much does it take to motivate them to go to a protest, shout, march, and sometimes even risk their lives? Sure, if we're not careful, if we don't implement the right controls, social media can be used for ill. However, I'd be very careful not to generalize from results like in the OP.

There are groups of people that you wouldn't even pay attention to if it weren't for social media. There is suffering that would be invisible to the world if it weren't for social media. It is our duty to expend the small amount of energy required before assuming the worst about a freedom struggle, because sometimes solidarity is the only thing that powerless people can have.
Thanks, I did this on my 20.04 systems and it worked fine. Simply uninstall snapd. I lost LXD (no way I'd use this now anyway if its distributed via snap), and chromium browser (but discovered the far superior Ungoogled version anyway)
with love,

at each stage, it is fruitful to inspect the rate-limiting factor.

if the body is the limiting factor, then it makes sense to invest in yoga until it is no longer the thing in the way.

it’s difficult to confront multiple challenges at once (monkey mind and pain in body), so divide and conquer.

may you find happiness and peace.

I think this might be really good. Less children should hopefully translate to less bullying in the classroom. When there’s 30 kids, it’s easy to get away with harassment and bullying. In a smaller class, I think the kids will get to know each other better.

It's interesting, I wonder why the proposal doesn't talk about leaving TS code and simply ignoring the syntax using something like babel to preprocess it out (without needing to run the type checking outside of CI).
My Ideal developer experience is;

- Should not need an IDE ::: The system should be able to be developed without depending on a particular IDE or set of proprietary build tools.

- CLI tool-chain ::: The system should be able to be built and deployed using CLI tools, preferably open-source.

- Versioned deploys and Rollback ::: Each deployment should be versioned and rolling back should be fairly trivial (when things break this needs to be easy).

- Modular development ::: pieces of the system should be able to be developed individually without compiling/building the entire project.

- Poly Repositories ::: I've found mono-repos make every bit of code highly-coupled. CI tools like github actions, makes poly-repos much easier to manage and improve separation of concerns, dependency management and modularity of components.

- Feature based folder structure ::: Grouping source files by feature, rather than by file type.

- Design components for testing ::: Testing should be considered during development of components, then integration of testing later is much easier (decouple database logic, dependency inversion etc.).

- Encapsulation of libraries ::: I personally prefer that most external libraries are encapsulated within wrapper classes, in order to insulate them from directly touching different parts of the system (ideally)

- Cross-platform should be trivial ::: Web-based applications easily achieve this, but so do many scripting languages etc. If building for different platforms is unreliable/impossible than that's not ideal.

These things vary in importance from person to person, but they're important to me.

a) Any static type system has things that it can't express elegantly or maybe at all. In my experience, the more "meta" your project is, the more you're going to run up against these bounds. So it makes sense that this could be the wrong use-case for TypeScript.

b) There is a valid, broader point to be made here that while TypeScript itself doesn't carry any runtime overhead (by design), it can in some cases force you to contort your code, so that it can be type-verified, in ways that have a runtime impact. In my experience (a couple of years writing TypeScript professionally) this is uncommon and not a huge problem, but does happen occasionally. It's also worth noting that the vast majority of these cases can be papered-over using //@ts-ignore, "as" casting, etc. if necessary.
"People seem to be working it out.", I don't think I have talk to one parent that seems to agree with that statement. Setting up remote learning for kids in the grade range of K-4 is time consuming. It appears we will most likely be losing afterschool programs (with these requirements) in the fall and parents possibly going to be in the office or work trips this is a recipe for failure. This is also frustrating because many families in the Greater Boston area are dual income mainly just afford housing / childcare. How will any of this work for extend period of time.
Can I confess that after about 20 minutes of Interstellar, I stood up and left the movie theater? I was initially annoyed by the fact the movie makers ignored the tyranny of the rocket equation: a reasonably normal looking rocket took our heroes to some faraway planets. Guys, you need an absolutely huge rocket to just go to Mars. We'll never make it out of the Solar system with chemical rockets only. But somehow, in a world with rusty trucks you get a rocket to take you to some planet that obviously is not one of the seven planets in our neighborhood. Now, you can suspend your disbelief, and accept that in this movie-universe the humankind was more advanced. But then they reach the ocean planet, and instead of getting whatever information they came for via radio transmission, they need to land to pick up a robot. And they couldn't just retrieve a memory stick from the robot, they needed to take the whole thing with them. That's how much I saw from the movie before I decided enough is enough.
I truly don't understand why anyone would use Chrome or Chromium for anything that isn't strictly work-related.

They should state what it is. I think the CDC has approved some kinds of cloth masks (less effective but somewhat helpful)

They should state whether these meet the requirements and not give people the opportunity to reach misleading conclusions.

I understand that's common nomenclature, but to me "selected" always feel like it implies intelligence in some manner. I've always preferred saying "the environmental factor caused evolution" in some manner or something similar.

For example, if feels more natural to me to say "an obstacle in my path may cause me to go around it", compared to "an obstacle in my path selected for me to go around it".

I think of evolution as a system than reacts to conditions, similar to a state machine. It's hard for me to think of those conditions as acting in some way on a system, but perhaps that's just a failure in my own thinking.

>I would not personally consider Kraft products to be cheese

I wholeheartedly agree with this. Most Kraft products like the singles and cheese wiz and shit, the 'modified milk products' are not even close to cheese.

What i was talking about are all those cheeses most people buy from the fair section, there's usually a mild, medium, old Cheddar selection, a mozzarella, lately i've seen Monterey jacks. Those are what I think of as the sterile 'cheese' made with pasteurized milk and lacking in active cultures. I'm guessing, like you say, they're likely closer to those modified milk products than real cheese, but for many, many people, that's the cheese they know, buy and eat.

I've had raw milk cheese before and i've eaten plenty of active culture cheeses, the difference between them isn't really that noticable, they're all actual cheese.

While I find the question puzzling, i find the description lacking. The whole explanation of anon maps is redundant, since the behavior of anon maps seems to be the same as the behavior of plain memory - its evicted on low memory conditions with LRU behavior and there is no anon maps specifics mentioned.

To recap: swap makes anon memory pages reclaimable, by offloading it to disk. This does not explain anything. Its basically "swap allows anon maps to be swapped"; so what?

>> You need to opportunistically handle the situation yourself before ever thinking about the OOM killer.

Or, just rely on OOM killer, minimal swap(so the application dont agony in low memory conditions) and restart policies. There are no reason to do the kernel work handling memory over-commit.
With the platform they have, I hope the next step is for them to double-down on the learning part.

This is mostly a hack back when SSL/TLS wasn't widespread.

It doesn't work against an adversary that can intercept and change your packets ("Mallory"). If properly implemented, it can work against an adversary that can only observe them ("Eve"), but I've seen implementations that just hash your password before sending it on the wire. In that case, you just have the same problem as before, but the hashed version of your password is your "real" password.

I'm in Tasmania, the State and the people here have done a very reasonable job.

Tasmania: 13 deaths, 228 confirmed cases, zero new cases in the past 24hrs, 33,000 test conducted.

The restrictions here have certainly had an impact on our lives, and I can hardly imagine how it would feel to be in an area with many more cases and more strict restrictions.

You wrote a lot of text but missed the central point. Cameras that can capture dark skin exist. This is a problem that human researchers just shrugged off or ignored. You might say well, can't do anything about it, our training corpus is full of these bad images. Maybe we blame the camera manufacturers?

But that's still a cop out. You can't use models with these problems. It gets you disasters like face unlock that doesn't work for black people. This happens even if people aren't white. Samsung famously released blink detection that didn't work on a lot of East Asian faces. The products are broken because the white bias is the default and pervades everyone's thinking.
