> I'm not sure if this was meant to be a counter-argument to me

It wasn't :)
The internet has made everyone feel inadequate as it's easy to compare yourself to people you see on the internet.
Couple of things to keep in mind if your comparing yourself:

1. There aren't as many uber successful people out there as the internet makes it seem. It's far fewer than you think. Lets take a simple example of dudes who go to the gym and are strong. Instagram makes it seem like all dudes bench press 400 lbs and have a 6 pack. In my 15 years of going to the gym (ive been to several dozen all across the world) there are less than 5 people I've personally seen who've bench pressed even 300 lbs. Apply this to any field and it's going to be true.If you take programming for instance I'm yet to meet a person who's performing at the standard I had set for myself (become a 10x programmer).

2. Lots of people are really good at marketing themselves, which inflates the number of people you think are extraordinary.

There aren't that many people at the world class level, the internet makes it seem there are more of these than there are. Just relax and do the things you enjoy.
Sure. A judge may fear dealing with the consequences(to him and to his family) for "siding" with a company from a foreign rival country, in case this company claims are valid and should be granted whatever they are requesting.
I use Excel when i'm developing SSAS analytics Cubes to test them. Also using it sometimes to get data from Odata feed. Maybe also some times to make some quick calculations of something.
Part of me wants to create a hugo template that takes advantage of this (or htmx). You could make each "request" be a rendered snippet. :thinking: I may try this out.
Yes, it still run, of course.
Github Actions? Gitlab CI? Many of those don't do any caching because of the chance of poisoning a tag in the local registry, and don't have a good way to do caching per project.

I can imagine that this affects those sorts of operations.
We probably wouldn't even expect it to be a straight correlation with "the higher your latitude, the lower your vitamin D."

Skin color is very tightly coupled with latitude, with melanin concentrations evolved to let in a small window of sunlight that (1) allows enough production of vitamin D and (2) prevents destruction of folic acid.

(A few exceptions can be found in communities that have historically eaten large amounts of fish, such as Inuits, who tend to have skin color slightly darker than "expected" because they are getting more vitamin D from diet, and so the the folic acid side of the fitness function "wins.")

Given that, we shouldn't necessarily expect populations whose ancestors have been at one latitude for hundreds/thousands of years, and who get plenty of out-door time, to necessarily be vitamin D deficient.

What is more likely to contribute to higher vitamin D deficiencies in a population would be (1) immigration/expatriation of people to higher latitudes (even over the course of hundreds or thousands of years) and (2) living indoors more.

Naturally, this may result in a hodge-podge of communities with vitamin D deficiencies, which may not be clearly correlated with latitude (although may still show correlation).

CI/CD systems on AWS, Azure, GCP and others might be running on Kubernetes containers (using kaniko, podman, etc) or using Docker-in-Docker, and there isn't a widely supported or in-cloud-platform tool for sharing cached layers.

And as pointed out below, even if you are intelligently caching layers, manifest requests count as a pull. As far as I know, no caching proxies exist for Docker that support limiting manifest pulls.
I respect Scott Adams for his comic, but his blog is (in my opinion) a bunch of mass-produced rhetoric-pseudo-rational ramblings¹, trading out quality for (a very large) quantity.

Scott Adams is definitely not famous because "he is an ok graphic artist and has an ok humor". He's famous because his satire was fairly unique and very sharp. I think he's very talented in the humor department; in addition to his creating invention and sharp wit, very often his strips have two punchlines - in the middle and the last panel - which take twice as much effort as a "standard" comic strip.

His drawing skill didn't/don't really matter, as a matter of fact, he wasn't particularly good at the beginning, and his style is generic and simple anyway.

It's very unlikely that somebody with "he is an ok graphic artist and has an ok humor" will get his success just because of such qualities.

That sounds about right. We'll have to see how much pull the more liberal dems have on him, the impact of AOC/Warren/Harris especially. The republicans are saying Harris is more liberal than the whole senate, but I don't see that. Time will tell. Warren was who I wanted.

AGI is how we can make von Neumann probes that can find us new planets to live on. Find the planets, and then prepare them for our arrival. The issue is how to keep the AGI's goals aligned with ours. I think the only way is to make sure the AGI feels he is "one of us." Maybe not biologically human but a member of human society. Most humans want to help other humans if they can. In fact most humans will help injured animals if they can.

It's difficult to apply this argument consistently without claiming that any company who decides to operate in China is compromised. A great deal of American companies do operate in China and will be subject with the same legal requirements expected of domestic companies. Journalists may not, but many American business executives perfectly understand how it works.

If you read the suit, in this instance, it appears TikTok claims it is indeed a U.S. company, and thereby protected by the Constitution, safeguarded by due process, and not immediately subject to IEEPA or CFIUS actions.

I personally think they are no where near being a U.S. company, but that is a crux of their argument and we will see if the judge clarifies their position.
Yep! I don't disagree with anything you're saying when I think from a particular context. It's really hard to generalize about the needs of 'science code', and my stab at doing so was certain to be off the mark for a lot of cases.

I was surprised to find reading a book called Intelligence in an Insecure World[0] that the general consensus amongst intelligence studies scholars is apparently that there's no empirical evidence for the effectiveness of intelligence work and there probably never will be (although I read the book some time ago so I might be misremembering it).

From the article:

> “The cops looked at each other. I heard one say that ‘the computer must have gotten it wrong.’” Williams learned that in investigating a theft from the store, a facial recognition system had tagged his driver’s license photo as matching the surveillance image. But the next steps, where investigators first confirm the match, then seek more evidence for an arrest, were poorly done and Williams was brought in. He had to spend 30 hours in jail and post a $1,000 bond before he was freed.

This article just explained that someone who was clearly not the right person was still arrested by human police officers and charged even though those very same human police realized it was the wrong person.

The police wouldn't have even shown up at this random person's house if it weren't for the technology. They were the failsafe, and they failed too.
> The only case where the code would be used (which is a valid reason why it should be available somehow) is to assert that your particular results are flawed or fraudulent;

Not true. Code is often used and reused to churn out a lot more results than the initial paper. A flaw in the code doesn't just show one paper/result as problematic. It can show a large chunk of a researcher's work in his area of expertise to be problematic.

I guess is debatable whether the judge should be called corrupt or not.
Trump's action in trying to ban TikTok is actually anti-American.

a) It violates the rights of millions of American TikTok users.

b) It violates the rights of thousands of Americans employed by TikTok.

c) It violates the rights of American investors in ByteDance

d) It isn't a security threat---the Chinese don't care what teenagers have on their phones.

Hopefully the courts will side with American rights and the rule of law, here.

I think there is an argument that TikTok needs to be divested from Chinese in the long run. That was already the plan. However, that isn't what's happening now.

Rather, Trump just said he would destroy the company in a short amount of time, creating a firesale (possibly to his friend Larry Ellison). This is property destruction, theft, and gangsterism.

In fact that's exactly what happened. The police realized it was the wrong guy and still brought him in, he still lose 30 hours and had to post bail.

I cant even imagine if two morons showed up to my house, saw that I was the wrong person, and then arrested me in front of my family anyway.

Of course it would. The Supreme Court can "invalidate laws, acts and governmental actions that are incompatible with" the Constitution [1][2].

I was reacting more to "if a person doesn't share my tastes and isn’t willing to sit with me during all these moving and emotionally rich experiences day in and day out", especially the "day in and day out" part.

That said, if I would limit my mate choice to someone who likes the same films as me I'd be setting myself up for a lonely life ;) (especially since I am already not the best at approaching women I'm interested in (or at least I wasn't, some 20 years ago).

Do you think NPM, Ruby Gems, or others would last long if they were so user hostile? Would Node have grown into the genuinely useful development environment it is if free users were limited to 10000 package downloads an hour?

It's so unbelievably user hostile that it seems like the result will be people just stop using Docker. The right solution for Docker is probably to spin off or monetize the Hub in a different way.

Imagine if GitHub started charging users for git cloning too many packfiles per hour.

Top Resources for Getting a Software Engineer Job at Big N Companies
The foundation for solid returns on investment is a large population with the disposable income to buy products that they did not previously purchase.

Since the neoliberal revolution in the 1980s, disposable income for the median person has stagnated or fallen, to varying extents, in the anglosphere. While nominal compensation has risen, these gains have been consumed by inflation and massive increases in unavoidable expenses. In most Anglosphere countries, cost increases for housing, food, transportation, and communications have consumed most wage gains. In the US, the situation has been made far worse by explosive growth in the costs of education and healthcare. In addition, government policies to support the reformation of extractive monopolies for products and monopsonies for labor have further reduced wages and buying power.

The net result is that the bulk of the population is too financially strained to expand their spending to provide a return on investment for companies that create new products and new markets. The median person lives in a stagnating, or even shrinking, economy and all spending is zero sum. Buying the next Shiny Widget means doing without something else, and that's a choice most people can't afford to make.

If capital wants greater returns on investment it needs to redistribute some of its gains to the public in the form of wages and other compensation. Capital, however, has refused to do this and has instead opted for rentier economic strategies that seek to seize a greater percentage of the economic pie for monopolists instead of growing the pie for everyone.

The solution is policies that lower income inequality and reverse re-monopolization, but that's a political third rail that no politician can afford to touch on pain of losing support from the donor class. For an example of how well these ideas fare in American politics, look at the fate of Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign bid.
> Williams’ case is a signal to stop the ad hoc adoption of facial recognition before an injustice occurs that cannot be undone.”

Arguably, Williams' case is that injustice. It should not have happened in the first place (although anyone in the field could have told you it would be inevitable).

Clearly the machine-human interface is insufficent. A big honking warning is still insufficient to overcome automation bias (see other top level comment).

Perhaps the "lineup" functionality needs to be baked in. The system won't divulge details until a(n) operator(s) selects hits from a pool.
Thanks for your article. As another physician (hey - three in a row on hackernews, clearly this is the new place to hang out), it's been interesting following the Vitamin D story, and I enjoyed reading your article. I was always a bit skeptical of the data, but then came across the first cochrane review for it, and was surprised to see a general reduction in all-cause mortality in a general population. But looking it up again [1], the conclusion seems far more couched. Do you have any comments on the Cochrane reviews?

Given the massive variation and diversity in humanity, to have a problem with not being extraordinary is like having a problem with existence itself.

I definitely recognize myself in this. I consider myself a decent programmer but I also know quite a bit about electronics and even a bit of Verilog/VHDL. Not enough to work as an ASIC/FPGA engineer, but enough to understand the broad concepts and how it all fits together. If you talk to me about timing violations and setup times and clock trees I'm not completely out of my depth.

All that happened pretty much by accident, mainly because I was always interested in all things low level, but it proves really advantageous in my career. Basically if a problem stands at the interface between hardware and software I tend to be massively more productive than a very good software engineer who knows very little of electronics or vice versa. If we have a problem like "we have this driver that seems to lock up because it misses an IRQ, but we're not sure if it's a software race or a hardware problem" I can usually help.

Of course that's all fairly niche, but as long as the niche is big enough that's not an issue. It's all about finding complementary skills. There might be a need somewhere for a good software dev that also very good at Sumo, but that's probably not very common...

In terms of concrete specifics, I've found having interviews with at least 3 engineers on the team you will potentially be working with to be really helpful for both sides to evaluate, and more specifically when the interviews are pair programming problem solving. You get to see how the candidate works through a problem and they don't have to code for an exact solution (or I don't think that should be the requirement anyways, it should be more about approach and communication than an exactly correct implementation , especially given limited time)
