within the confines of the unix process model.

The query style compiler isn't by necessity a single process.
You could imagine an implementation based on the actor model or almost any other message passing system where the queries are driven externally. That the expedient way to do this is by stuffing everything into a giant process is regrettable.

That's such a weird typical US way of looking at it. Find a way of using money to solve it.

Why not treat it as what it is, a criminal matter. If a non police officer would repeatedly beat up people the person would be in jail. And they would likely not get their job back. It's really as simple as treat police officer like everyone else.
You're welcome! If you have questions about it I am happy to share my thoughts on it.
> but in principle, it's very simple

Er, very simple provided that you're already doing doing unicast routing, that is. There are plenty of complexities, they just almost all already exist even without any anycast addresses.

> I don't understand why we have to dig up roads to lay cables. Why can't there be a shared conduit for cables underneath or beside a road?

Because the city doesn't want to pay for it. And the companies, having the money to dig the road up don't want to make their competitor's jobs easier. So pretty classic market failure.

What needs to happen, IMO, is that the last mile should be utility infrastructure, and ISPs should connect to that. Then the ISPs pay the city for use of the last mile on a endpoint by endpoint basis. Lowers the barrier for new ISPs since they don't have to dig up new last mile, and the city is encouraged to upkeep the last mile since it's a revenue stream with a few high paying representatives of customers (so no tragedy of the commons), but the low barrier to entry for ISPs means that the city won't get too connected to individual ISPs.
Agreed. To a lot of people, policing means "solve disruptions in society" but that's an oversimplistic and unrealistic idea of what police are trained to do and what is even possible with an institution that treats violence as a necessary means to do their job.

And for the record, I am squarely in the defund camp, but also open minded to discussion.

5G requires more fiber runs since towers have to be closer together. Less fiber than running to every home but more than we have now.
The idea is that any distortion loss imposes specific artifacts. For example, MSE tends to blur outputs, CNN-feature-based losses (VGG, LPIPS) tend to produce gridding patterns or also blur. Now, when the discriminator network sees these artifacts, those artifacts very obviously distinguish the reconstructions from the input, and thus the gradients from the discriminator guide the optimization away from these artifacts. Let me know if this helps!
Are you sure, I've never seen anything suggesting that, and more than a bit suggesting that he wasn't...What are you talking about?
Yes but I feel Vitess is much more widely used than Citus. MySQL community, last time I check has formed a more mature ecosystem and conscious on HA and Clustering.

Postgres still feels more like throwing you a bunch of options and you are on your own.

It is not that a solution being more widely used means it is good, you are just less likely running into edge cases with no help at all.
> Nobody talks about failure in Silicon Valley

What an odd thing to start with. People talk a lot about failure in Silicon Valley, to the point that it's a stereotype.
Having a physics degree and having worked as an engineer, I do not think Schrodinger's Cat applies here (often we in the physics community are frustrated in how SC is misrepresented).

Really what Blackstone's ratio is discussing is failure design. In good engineering practices we want things to fail in specific ways. So we actually design failure. For example, if you are building a skyscraper you want to design your building to collapse in on itself as to not take out other surrounding buildings. The trade-off here is that you aren't building the optimal structure, but overall you have greater safety (obviously you still have to meet base structural and safety conditions).

This is a better analogy than SC, which is about the complexity of statistics and observation (which mind you doesn't need to be human nor have a consciousness). Really here we're talking about how we design failure in law. "When laws fail, what should happen?" Blackstone's has nothing to do with measurement and observation (which mean more in the QM world than what they mean in our macro world or in engineering. We physicists aren't always great at explaining. Sorry :( )

> it makes some images look better than the original! It seems to reduce local contrast which works well for skin (photos 1, 2 and 5)

It's better than the lossy JPEGs but I strongly disagree it's better than the original - or even close. Examining image 1 closely, the loss of contrast and the regularising of the texture of the skin make the HiFIC image feel fake when I look at it. I downloaded and opened the images at random on my computer to get rid of the bias of "the right one is the original" and it was the original I preferred each time.

Regardless, it's impressive work and I look forward to future developments!

heh I had this problem with the inane music my kids listen to. Those plays poisoned my recommendations and I only noticed when my annual retrospective playlist popped up full of disney garbage.

Solution: use separate streaming service for the kids! I still use Spotify for everything, but kids music happens on Amazon Music.
Exactly. With an IP, it can be pretty easy to stop someone from doing anything - block one IP (maybe a small range for IPv6), and maybe another for their phone, and then block account creation from those IPs (I'm a bit rusty on the technical details of how that works - if it's something that happens automatically when blocking an IP, or is separate, or I think I heard something about doing it based on a cookie at one point). No such luck with Tor.
J has lapack bindings also; you pretty much can't beat lapack for raw matrix math speed.
Back in 2016 in Toronto, I chose a condominium specifically because it had Beanfield fiber (it was $50CAD/mo for 250 Mbit symmetric, no cap). Other buildings had Bell or Rogers at double the cost, with caps, and sometimes asymmetric. Those other buildings signed agreements with either Bell or Rogers and for the rest of the life of the building, those residents will be stuck with inferior, more expensive service.

When we moved to SF a few months ago, Sonic wasn't available in our building so we had to get AT&T. I'm paying almost double what Sonic charges for basically the same service.

In both cases, where buildings had exclusivity agreements or had the fiber providers lay the fiber themselves, residents are worse off. Buildings should be running their own fiber and letting residents hook up to whoever they want.

Same thing with residential house internet; cities should own the last mile infrastructure (sure, pay providers to dig it and run it if you have to).

Especially since we're migrating off of copper and onto fiber; this is the chance to get it right for the next few decades!
Not directly related, but Curve (other fintech based in UK that acts as a proxy for credit or debit cards) have issued a statement that wire cards license had been pulled and all their cards are currently dead (wire card was the issuing bank). They did say they are working on a fix. New card to be issued. Money in payoneer might be safe but the card ain't... might be wrong (hope not for people with money there...)

- I live in a building with 180 units. Our options are AT&T and Comcast. Copper is mandatory and old. Want to guess how Comcast is them the only option for fast broadband?

- When I upgraded my plan the first person to notice it was my mom in India. Her internet is so much better that the increase in my upload speed was visibly apparent to her. I realised I was the bottleneck.

- I appreciated the local control in the US a lot. But I now know it’s a huge detriment to develop and improve basic infrastructure. The goal is to keep things the way they are. In that sense even San Francisco is extremely conservative.

Do you know why i ignored it? Like, when im with other adults, the tone is much harsher sometimes, especially when we are drunk. So you need to have the skin for that, which is generally a useful trait in life. So i assumed your argument featuring a fragile cis man was due to a lack of social experience.

Did i stereotype an entire group? I explicitly stated that i have problems with a specific behaviour from a part of a group, and explicitly told that parts of the group don't exhibit this behaviour. You ignored that.

I said that i was leaving communities due to this behaviour. I'm the one leaving, not the transgender people. I'm, at most, ostracizing myself.

And then you come and go accuse me of arguing in bad faith.
Seriously.
You are just looking for something to get offended about.

"Same with the SF Westfield Center store. Great staff. It was a good place to check out various Surfaces in person as well."

Agreed - about that specific store. However, I must reflect that after years of going there with my children, we spent exactly zero dollars there.

We had fun and played video games and hung out and futzed around with various "exotic" computing devices from MS ... and we never had any intention of buying anything.
Sounds like the US education system.

Can we do the same thing there as we are doing with the police ("defund"/reboot)?
Eveything we know about how contagious this virus is would seem to indicate that this has to be a false positive. How would it even be possible for a virus like this to stay "dormant" while circulating for 6+ months before seeing the spread we have now? It seems completely counter-intuitive to me.
I think the GP's point is that some business models are predicated on having no competition, where even bad competitors will beat you if they just have deep-enough pockets to outlast you.

Compare and contrast: individuals suing large corporations. Even if the individual is in the right (i.e. has the "competitive advantage"), the corporation will still often "win" because it can just afford to keep delaying the trial longer and longer, until you run out of funds to keep the suit going.

Or, to put that another way: you can't run a siege without a supply train. The city will always have more food than your army brought with it. Unless more capital is flowing in to match the rate of replacement, they're eventually going to win.
Well, not yet…
Also we currently expose a `GraphQL` function that can be used within your own GO apps as a way to replace ORMs and managing SQL. Just write the GraphQL and Super Graph will figure out the join, etc and build the most efficient single SQL query to do the job. We're expanding on this to expose the entire Super Graph service as an API.

GO is a great language for web development (especially API backends) and Super Graph is a natural fit. Using it as a library gives you unlimited flexibility. The link below shows you a GraphQL example fetching posts, comments, threads, votes, etc all related imagine the code you don't have to write and maintain. when you use Super Graph.

It's not a matter of possible, but whether the work has been done throughout the toolchain and runtime stacks.

When OpenBSD implemented static PIE, -static and -pie, the literal options and the code generation aspects more generally, were still mutually exclusive in GCC and clang. GCC required patching to enable both static linking and PIE generation. In fact, my local GCC 9.3 man page still says that -static overrides -pie; to build static PIE seems to require the special option -static-pie, in addition to -fPIE/-fPIC when building the object code. But it's not enough for the compiler and compile time linker to support it. libc and libstdc++/libc++ also need support, both internally as well as in the built libraries. And I think libdl might need support if you want dlopen to work from a static PIE binary. Likewise for libpthread. Supporting static PIE requires the cooperation of many moving parts. And that's just to support it. Making it easy, let alone the default behavior, so that it doesn't require many carefully coordinated, obscure flags without the risk of any misstep silently disabling some exploit mitigation, is yet another story.

It can be done. It should be done. But to what extent has it been done? I'm not sure, though some quick Googling suggests GCC and clang are mostly there, at least in terms of nominal support (which, again, is distinct from fully supporting all the same mitigation measures). glibc seems to have gotten some support (e.g. --enable-static-pie in glibc's build), though I'm not sure whether it's available in distros. And I would guess that musl libc support is pretty far along, and presumably more mature than glibc's given that Rich Felker started experimenting with static PIE several years ago, shortly after OpenBSD did their work. See https://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2015/06/01/12

Of course that's true. I wasn't so much trying to provide evidence as to point out that people who felt comfortable saying "I'm not racist but I don't think this country is racist either" should not feel comfortable socially expressing that position anymore. Social proof may not be evidence but it is powerful in changing people's minds who might not be as receptive to facts and figures. I don't mind if people believe the right thing for the wrong reasons (at least these days with how anti-science a segment of the population seems to be.)
That's not true; the GOP is the actor in both cases, and in both cases put forward an extreme thing (in one case a person, in another case, a law). The point is not to be complacent with the intention behind the extreme law, and assume it won't pass, since the analogous thing happened.

I think that's a pretty tight point, and on topic, but I would agree that most of this subthread is OT.

Why use Twitter for the whole post, rather than using it for a summary or above-the-fold section of the post, with the actual post hosted somewhere else and linked to from that summary tweet?

It's not as if any of the individual tweets, other than the first one, were formatted usefully as soundbites worth an individual retweet. The only thing people were sharing/responding to was the first tweet. So, AFAICT, that's the only part that needed to be a tweet, right?
> could correct many issues by conducting investigates in a more impartial manner.

Police already think that Obama's DoJ was incredibly political and it did exactly this[1] when issuing more consent decrees (source: police in family). Putting a new "Space Force" brand on the box doesn't make officers trust either their own brass or the feds more than they did.

There's no solution to a lack of trust here except perhaps a massive airing of grievances and more transparency. People like me don't trust that police officers charged with crimes will ever be impartially prosecuted by the same prosecutors who need their hard work on all other cases (departments and unions have actually tanked careers of DAs and ADAs who have aimed to cross the "think blue line of silence"). In my city, the police union used propaganda and threats to scare an independent civilian oversight (private attorney acting in a public role) into quitting his oversight role.

I’m not sure what that Jobs style was the opposite. He was the industries leading example of taking your time to get it right. Like when he canceled the iPad just prior to the launch decision, and told the team to take a few years to try to make it into a phone instead.
I don't know why this is being downvoted, I think it's a perfectly valid point. The entire basis of BLM protests is about use of police violence against black people. If I were black and think I'm more likely to get the shit beat out of me (pepper-balled, rubber bulleted, tear gassed, etc.) at a protest I'm more likely to avoid it entirely.

Edit: On reflection, maybe the downvote was more about the tone that it was presented in?
How Will 3D Production Change in the Future?
I'm very excited about the work Prisma is doing. I didn't get it at first but after trying it out, it was the best ORM experience I've had in Javascript.

It introspects your DB and generates a client that provides typescript definitions for your queries. When I try to select a non-existent field or relation, I get warned via ts.

Right now it's mainly their client that is production ready but they are making great progress on their migrations tooling. For now I still write my migrations in raw SQL, but I'll probably swicth to prisma-based migrations once it's a bit more mature.

My mistake, thanks for the correction. I agree this is unsustainable if the average person only listens to three songs a day, which seems extremely, extremely low to me unless there is a distribution issue going on where certain songs are more likely to be listened to frequently or if the majority of listens are people searching for new music until they find one they can loop for a while.
