Just to add all the major cloud service providers provide registries ACR /ECR/GCR etc .
If you run k8s service with one of the them in my experience it is best to use the corresponding registry.

I have pulled and run 20k times a 1GB image in less than 10-15 minutes without breaking a sweat.

Finally GitHub packages offers a registry out of the box . It is great for CI and devs to access . I generally have the tags mirrored from tags GitHub for production to ACR .
That’s wild, how does it do that? What resource does it consume?
The real Royalist Marketplace is a Facebook Group not Page. I think your url is the wrong on one.
>Overall, this is a fantastic article that touches on a lot of the issues in the biotech.

It does miss a couple, especially on the FDA regulation side. In addition to safety and efficacy, the FDA also highly regulates how you can market and promote your product. There are literally teams of people who do nothing but ensure that marketing, training, sales, and promotion all comply with FDA requirements.
Wouldn’t it be possible to have a conversation with GPT-3 and have it generate the writing on some topic for you? Yes, the time it would take to write would no doubt become much longer, but then it would be much more difficult to find out who wrote what beyond getting access to GPT-3 and seeing queries.
It's also true that even a "mediocre" engineer is elite in many ways - they are "mediocre" compared to all the other folks who managed to carve out a sustained engineering career. However, even somebody in the middle of that group has elite engineering skill relative to the population at large.

This is true of many careers, of course!

I always feel bad for the professional athletes who "suck." It's kind of hilarious -- even the "worst" professional athlete in a given professional sports league is actually an extremely elite specimen, with only a tiny fraction of all athletes even being able to make it into such a league.
This is a thing I've been pondering recently, and I don't have the same takeaway as you. My thought is: The context doesn't always matter, and a quotation can mean different things in different contexts, and that's not a bad thing.

For example, with the Knuth quote, both interpretations can be valuable? There are people who need to be told "don't optimise yet", and there are people who need to be told "there are critical times and places to optimise, and you probably shouldn't just breeze past a 12% execution time improvement".

Neither of these lessons are "wrong". The main wrong thing is probably attributing the intent of the first to Knuth, which uses his status as an expert to (falsely) back it.

I think Scott Alexander from SSC wrote something about opposite pieces of advice (eg. telling college nerds to "get out more" and telling college partygoers to "buckle down and study more", because neither of those can be universal pieces of advice), but I don't feel like searching for it rn. It's a good read though.
Noted thanx
Yes, but you're arguably still doing the same thing, just slightly more indirectly.

>The start of many US zoning laws was based on racism though. No one is saying every zoning law was racist, or that racism is the sole reason they are bad, but their origin is undoubtedly tied to racism.

Here, there's the pretty explicit connotation of "racism created zoning laws", and that's only a mental step or two removed from "zoning laws are racist because racism created them". I do think that nickff's comment was pulling from the current argumentative zeitgeist as well though.
Argue whether it's a winning or losing strategy in congress, I'm just saying that's what the strategy is, making sure the US has as a much of a global monopoly on conventional military power as possible.
In short, it used to ping a google url to decide if the internet is working and now, it pings a different url?

This is cute, given that Apple "may collect a variety of information, including your name, mailing address, phone number, email address, contact preferences, device identifiers, IP address, location information, credit card information" [0] any time you "download a software update" or "connect to our services".

Where is my fix to opt out of this garbage? When they say "connect to our services", do they mean automatic checks for os updates that all their products do without an option to opt out?

This concern over privacy on the level of individuals 'fixing' things is utter lunacy. You've fixed one of a thousand cuts your privacy is killed with, congratulations :)

Are we talking actual undefined behavior or just behavior that's undefined by the language standard?

The latter isn't great practice, but if your environment handles behavior deterministically, and you publish the version of the compiler you're using, it doesn't seem to be a problem for this type of code.
I'm more convinced that Silver would be a superior coin in the apocalypse. 1 Oz Silver is $35, and drop down to 1/10th oz denominations for $4 per 0.1 oz right now. Like, literally right now, you can buy these everywhere.

No complications or certificates. Its just silver. Pretty straight forward.

-----------

Why are we trying to reinvent the wheel so much? Gold is used for large transactions. The more common silver and copper coins will be used for smaller transactions.

Under knowledge of modern economics (which should remain true after the apocalypse), we'll know to NOT tie the value of gold, silver, and copper together. But we also know gold/silver/copper ratios won't change dramatically.

My limited experience in MS Teams has found a number of features that have no version history/logs or even basic undelete/archive functionality. It's unreliable for collaborative work.

Teams Planner - what happens when a Team member deletes tasks or renames tasks? Good luck finding what happened to the task or who destroyed your project plan.

Wiki has no clear way to track changes. If someone deletes wiki or pages, chances are they are gone for good.

Wiki and Planner have plenty of horror stories on the MS Uservoice. Some requests to fix this basic functionality are over 4 years old (still being ignored by MS).
The social network I honestly want is something akin to the tradition of Christmas cards: a rare update (at most once a quarter) about how life is going with the option of attaching a few photos.

I wish there was more done in CSS for generation of print documents.

I mean, precise sizing, pixel perfect placement, layouts, etc, that can be printed as PDF pages.

I know there are print related media settings, but they seem overly complex and paid libraries have cropped up, which abstract away the complexity, but charge to provide usability.

HTML & CSS, conceptually, are world class technologies. Separation of content and styling, theoretically, should be able to display / output documents for a wide variety of targets. However, media queries are based on screen pixel sizes. I don't know if its even possible, but I would love to define media for PDF documents, Word documents, etc.

Or you just do it the easy way and limit the speed based on the amount of data downloaded so far, with the history being 'lost' after 6 hours. This way you also prevent someone from doing dumb things to get around it, like using multiple connections (or in this case, multiple layers for a project that doesn't actually need them)

I'm happy to hear that the experience w/CDS is improving.

I worked on a project with them about 4 years ago, and it was a less than ideal experience. CDS was not entirely at fault, as there were other departments involved, but they were willing to bend on specific details that we (as an outside service provider) specifically recommended against.

It put us at odds contractually in terms of project timelines, but we were pushed between delivering securely or timely, and the stress from all sides for the latter caused a number of people to not only leave our company, but also take leaves of absense on the government side.

I strongly support them as a Canadian citizen, and sincerly hope that they've reached the zenith in that their stated position holds, because the alternative was a downright awful experience.

10G is attainable at lower altitudes for a few seconds at a time, but it would require a heavier airframe which means less weight budget for fuel and weapons. And you still won't be able to outmaneuver a missile so what's the point? Not a good design trade off. 20G is still in the realm of science fiction for turbine engines.

A swiveling missile launcher is far from easy. Please calculate how much such a contraption would weigh. Remember that it needs to securely hold multiple large, heavy missiles without structural deformation during your hypothetical 10G maneuvers. And what sensors will you use to detect someone on your tail and target your own missile before he does? Where will those sensors be placed, how much will they weight, and how much drag will they add?

Let me know if I understand your priorities correctly—you care about whether the word “AI” is being used correctly, but you are not interested in discussing whether machines are autonomously killing humans?

I think this has to be a pretty classic example of the way discourse can get derailed on HN, Stack Overflow, or the like—Alice has an interesting point to make, but Bob takes the floor to point out that Alice used a word incorrectly, even though he knows what Alice meant.

The discussion about landmines is actually a good point—the legal language around landmines has evolved somewhat over the years and you might hear them referred to as “LAWs” these days, which stands for “Lethal Autonomous Weapons”. So many of the the same treaties will regulate both autonomous drones and landmines, with the same language.
You're missing the point. The point is, we have very stupid systems making kill/no-kill decisions today if you step on top of them or drive by them. Slightly smarter systems making kill/no-kill decisions within a designated envelope should not be surprising.

It depends on the app. If it's an existing app, a container is fine. If you're building a new app and you don't care about the infrastructure, Serverless is better.

My problem is that eventually all apps will be rewritten...and it's probable they will be in some kind of Serverless manner.

Containers still have some separation of concerns issues as well as maintaining state or sharing data.

My default would be Serverless with a plan B for Containers and a plan C for VM's.
He bought his way into the role, but my understanding is that he was.

From the Harvard Report:

As to Epstein’s appointment as a Visiting Fellow, the initial appointment occurred in 2005, before Epstein’s arrest. The Visiting Fellow designation is now, as it was in 2005, granted to an independent researcher registered with Harvard’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences as a graduate research student.

....

Nevertheless, he applied to be re-admitted for a second year, the 2006-2007 academic year, and was again admitted, but he withdrew from that appointment following his arrest and before the new academic year began.

The Mt ...yama and ...kawa River variations are common even on official signage in Japan.

The problem is that English speakers might not understand that “Tateyama” means “Mt Tate” and Japanese speakers might not understand that “Mt Tate” means “Tateyama”, so Mt Tateyama is a compromise.

How IIT Bombay’s Virtual E-Convocation Is Such a Bold Step in Education
I know of someone who worked on face-recognition AI landmines for the US. They only explode if they recognize you. I don't think anything like that has actually been used though.
I think you are underselling yourself. As far as I can tell, at a globally distributed engineering org, clear written communication is probably more important than the code you write, because it has more impact - it has an effect on how everyone else writes their code.

It might come easily to you, but me and other people I know often draft emails and such 3-4 times, asking for proofreading from trusted friends.

Yea, the proofreading for docs and writing client copies isn't fun, but the skills to do these well help all of your written communication immensely.

Your org could be very different, but I feel like I am recognized in large part because I care about communicating, and put a lot of effort into clear emails and docs. Part of your recognition could be because you have great writing skills.
I'm just saying the ethics of deploying AIs to kill is logically equivalent to deploying mines.
I agree. On certain places I just give up. That place that is complete different from your opinions? But who cares? Your comment on an echo chamber will just be deleted, ignored, you banned, downvoted at hell at best.

That's just the way corporate America operates. They hire lots of people because it's a better utilization of money than just giving money back to investors. If you give money back to investors, you're not growing anymore and have failed. If you reinvest (and for a pure tech company with no physical assets, that has to be hiring), maybe one of them can grow the company.

I use nginx to proxy cache the Arch Linux package repository transparently. It's fairly easy to set up, and enables nice features like contacting a secondary mirror if the first one is down, or when multiple requests hit the same resource, all are blocked waiting for a single merged package download, so the proxy will not make the download multiple times if I run pacman -Syu on my 18 machines in parallel. And it's all just 20-30 lines of nginx config.

It's not transparent though.
I used to be much more choosy about who I gave take-homes to until we started paying candidates to do the take-home. Now I don't feel as guilty taking a chance on someone I was on the fence on, since I know their time won't be wasted. I would say it went from ~15% to ~25%.

My review process is to take their code, throw it up on GitHub for the repo we gave them to start, and then have the team review it as though it was a regular contribution. Depending on how well they did, we either give them a brief written summary of high level issues we found and a polite rejection, or we go over the PR with them in person and make a decision based on how well they responded to feedback, if they were able to understand why we made suggestions etc.
The Economic Cost of Oil Spills
Obviously GP is ironic and really agrees with you. "Outspend ourselves"? Does this phrase mean anything? Not even the war pigs are this silly.
You got a point. I think the controversy lies in situations where an AI has to differentiate between threats and innocent bystanders.

So really what the OP means is the ethics of what to kill and what to let live should not be left to an AI.

No one is saying US does not have that monopoly, its just that US still loses with that monopoly.
Wait, hold up. Are we talking about a policy of deflation (decreasing government spending), or deflation of the currency (contraction of the monetary supply and an ongoing increase of value of the currency)?

I thought we were talking about the latter.

I could still be wrong, and if you have any data on the value of the mark used at the time, I'd be willing to move on my position.

Given how vastly different WWI and WII were from their predecessors, I don't see planning for WWIII being a very useful exercise. The game theory is so vastly open ended, and capabilities of belligerents so great it Bogles the mind.

(Oh, and I fail to see how China wouldn't win. Heh.)

That just leaves "counter-insurgency" empire building crap which is super inefficient at even the stated goals, and the stated goals are worthless.

Therefore I conclude the whole exercise is pointless and a waste of money.
Not a good analogy. The human soldier driving the knife is the agent here, unlike the trigger or tripwire on a landmine.
That's true, but I think they meant that it fails to actively support debugging the way a not-broken-by-design modern executable file format should.
> hat's really interesting is I wonder how much price collusion is involved with the 2.9% + 30c price for payment merchants.

Most likely none.

To be collusion they have to be actively working together to do it. Pricing to match or at least be competitive with your peers, isn't collusion. If you are competing with the other players and you look at their prices (in this case, entirely public prices), then match, it's not collusion. It's extremely unlikely they're secretly conspiring to hold that line. At this point the business margins are doing the work to provide resistance to compete on undercutting the 2.9% + $0.30.

It's nothing more than a: you move and we'll move stalemate; you don't move, we won't move. It's unspoken and very common in business. The cloud companies such as DigitalOcean, Vultr, Linode do it as well. Their plans have been quite similar for many years now.

The processors are not aggressively undercutting to advantage for the same reason those cloud companies have stopped doing that frequently, the margin has gotten a lot tighter and nobody is eager to go further. Each notch they go lower becomes increasingly painful.
