That sounds pretty interesting. Mind elaborating on what changes you achieve with your modifications?
I use psql for quick exploration and simple queries. Just installed pgcli through brew but it blew up trying to use the services defined in .pg_service. Maybe I need to set an alias to a connection string. Not exactly a drop-in though.

This does look very promising so thanks for the suggestion.
> Want to know what we saw developers doing instead? They either duplicate code files or took screenshots of relevant code while in the middle of a change. Even I have done something similar before: I'm about to mess this up... I'll Ctrl-A and Ctrl-V this into a new tab before it gets too messy, and then I can put the window beside my editor to use as a reference. I even observed a professional developer with 20 years experience doing this!

I do this kinda stuff all the time in my digital art practice. Duplicate a layer, hide the duplicate, start making changes. Does it work better? Awesome, delete the duplicate. Did my idea not improve it after all? Cool, delete the new version and rename the duplicate back.

It's simple and reliable and builds easily on existing structures.
Code is open source (given when requested as per GPL [1]) but not the net weights.

I don't think under GPL the net weights have to be open sourced.

There seems to be confusion on what the issue is.
Agreed :^)
Consistency is not the only value of a system of units. Convenience is also of importance. And that is where the metric system shines. Having all measures of a unit in multiples 10 combines perfectly with our decimal calculations. Having as few as possible magical numbers to convert and combine between units makes making mistakes harder. How many calories in kinetic energy has a pound going 10 miles per hour ? I know a kilo going 10 meters per second has 50 joules of kinetic energy without looking up anything and doing the calculation in my head.

In the two cases mentioned, there isn't any extra _response_ time.

> servers cannot periodically advertise their load measures to clients

This is an asynchronous mechanism - you can use polling, push, or queue, or whatever. Individual responses don't pay the cost.

> staple current load reports to query responses, which the client can cache and use for a period of time

This is just a few extra bytes in the response, which likely has negligible cost. One can fairly reasonably say that responses don't pay any cost.

Obviously there are other costs - it just depends on what you're trading off between on whether it is the right decision.
That chained syntax is entirely doable in Python.

I see no reason to object to a1, a2, a3 as intermediate steps in a computation. They don't have a name in your chained style, why does the name matter with the intermediates?

This is very clunky, but it is similar, could be streamlined.

import aiostream
from aiostream.stream import pipe
import operator

v = aiostream.stream.iterate(set("a ab abc ddd eeee abasdfadf".split())) \
| pipe.filter(lambda x: x.startswith('a')) \
| pipe.map(lambda x: len(x)) \
| pipe.reduce(operator.add, 0)

print(await aiostream.stream.list(v))
> but for the average home user who wants to get started with ML and at the same time get decent frame rates when they play a game.

Getting started with ML doesn't require a GPU at all. Realistically, any video card or even a modern CPU is more than sufficient to get started with ML learning.

It's a myth that $1000 gaming video cards are necessary or even helpful for learning basic ML.
Also confirmation is undesirable UX.

In this case it may be the best option you have, but the UX you should be aiming for is always undo.

Humans are always sure this is what they wanted to do right up until they understand the consequences. Then they experience regret. If possible design your software so that regret has a natural response in the interface in the form of an "Undo" option.

A confirmation step doesn't trigger that "understand the consequences" outcome, and so users will mostly be annoyed by the confirmation, and pick "Confirm" even when in fact they'll immediately regret that once they do it. They may even ask you to add another "Confirm" step. You want "Undo".

Notice the law here reflects this preference for Undo. If Citibank wired $500M to me the law says they get to Undo that, because they didn't owe me $500M and so that's just a mistake. They can't undo this because it looks exactly like a legitimate payment to a creditor, and if you could always undo those it opens a real Pandora's box. Normally you can "undo" paying a willing creditor because they'll just lend you the money again. But of course not everybody is a willing creditor, as in this case. Boo hoo for Citibank.
> I'll walk through some reasons why version control does not save the day here. While a developer is making changes to code, they may not realize that they want some intermediate version from a few minutes ago until they are well into making the change and become stuck. We saw this repeatedly in our studies. This introduces a problem of premature commitment3, which forces the developer to decide to save an intermediate version (or not to save it) before they have the information needed to make the decision (whether they will need it or not). Unless you commit code to your git repository every few minutes, working or not working, then version control won't help you here.

Presuming DVCS here; if you’re still on a centralized VCS this is surely Not Good:

So, you need an editor utility that automatically commits every save (and possibly autosaves and commiys every completed undo-list item)on a special temporary branch that gets deleted when you do a real commit, and if you go back to prior state on that branch it automatically does the same but starts a new temporary branch with the next item, deleting the whole temp tree on a real commit. Or maybe leave the temp branches around until manually cleaned up, but provide a UI to do that in an all-at-once sweep.

The obvious challenges seem to be managing temp-branch vs. “real” current branch state in a way that doesn't mess up or get messed up by other tools interacting with the repo (including ha sling things like pulls and other inbound changes to your “real” active branch), and generating non-noise automated commit messages. Advantages would be all the tools you have for VCS history can then be deployed to your edit history without any additional friction.
Fundimental supply issues aren't going to be solved by releasing a mining variant and artificially limiting a gaming variant. At the end of the day this is still a supply and demand problem. I bet that we'll still see 3060s being scalped and brought at ridiculous markup.

Just becuase your use case is more noble doesn't change the fundimental issue of supply and demand. Nividia also already has artificial restrictions on their GTX and RTX lines to produce a product for your use case: the Tesla series.

I assume you are referring to online scanned archives in general, not just the University of Tokyo archives mentioned in the linked post.

I have been reading scanned books at the Internet Archive for more than ten years and have used them in some personal projects, including [1]. Like you, I have run into missing pages quite a few times, though perhaps not as frequently as you have. There are also sometimes problems with folded-over pages, blurred images, etc. If multiple scans of the same book are available, you might be able to find the missing pages in a different version.

Some of the original scanning institutions seem to have been more conscientious about the scanning process than others. The scans by the Getty Research Institute and by the Internet Archive itself, for example, seem better overall than some others. When I search for books that might be available in multiple versions, I usually add "-description:Google AND " at the beginning of the search string on the first pass to exclude Google’s scans, as they are often the worst quality.

Scanning is time-consuming and expensive when done well. Information about the Internet Archive’s scanning services is at [2] and [3]. An article about Google’s efforts is at [4].

What ever happened to computers being at least somewhat usable when all RAM is in use?

I seem to remember that being a pretty common condition back in the 90's. Things would get slow, sure, but not completely and utterly hosed.

When this happened to me recently (unattended Firefox process used up all RAM) the machine was simply never able to recover, even after killing the offending process (thereby making 30GB or so of RAM available) and waiting a half an hour.

The problems are modern US capitalism/anti"socialism" problems.

Most people do not want to pay for anything that might be more useful to others than themselves. Predictably when things go very wrong, this bites _everyone_ in the ass.

Regulations are usually designed to provide some minimum standard, some predictability. Whether they are rules that say banks cannot invest deposits or utilities must build in higher level fail-safes, they are requirements which cost the companies some profit. Naturally the companies fight those requirements.

When those companies are allowed to pour money into political campaigns, they naturally help elect people who will return the favor (by fighting regulation, or even deregulating).

So yes, it is a nationwide problem. But it is more of a Red-state problem, because those are the places which fight hardest against measures that protect and benefit the general population.
> I can assure you that the comfortably rich are not getting richer by loaning money to the average person to buy houses and cars

Isn't this precisely the idea of securities backed by subprime loans? As long as you're not stuck holding the bag you can generate a lot of wealth. The interest rate just determines how quickly you'll need to cash out; conceivably you might even prefer a lower interest rate to avoid raising significant attention.
Did you know that vanilla financial securities also require upkeep? Approximately 0.5% of the value of all financial assets is burned every year (and potentially an order of magnitude more, depending on what asset and packaging you're talking about).

If working with simple units of ten is beneficial then every mission should redefine units in terms of expected velocities and vehicle size so they are optimized for the actual calculations at hand.

That's not realistic, obviously, so we just pick one. The units in the system are arbitrary, really.

In reality regardless of the system you choose every calculation is going to end up with fractions of something. You aren't just going to do it in your head.

> Why is it nonsensical?

Because territorialism is ubiquitous in the animal kingdom and aboriginal societies also had a concept of territory. They reject it because its a social convention and therefore its always possible to reject it. But they reject it because they don’t like being excluded from territories and they think rejecting the social convention of land ownership will result in a new arrangement where they are no longer excluded from territories. However this is like rejecting the social convention of English because you want to be able to make noises that English-speakers consider to be insulting. They haven’t addressed the fact that society relies on ownership notions in order to do things like produce food and housing; and they have no plan to allocate scarce resources in the absence of ownership norms.

> I've always interpreted this as being an attempt to call attention to things like the relative shortness of our lives in comparison to the earth and an argument that there's a certain amount of hubris involved in saying that you own components of ecosystems that you exist within and depend on to live.

Thats a valid response to a metaphysical concept of ownership as a thing-in-itself that has meaning outside of human relations. My response is to ground ownership in reciprocal norms that arise emergently from human interaction. And to justify them on the basis of egalitarian human rights.

The belief is that every American should have uninterrupted access to electricity. The fact is that we are woefully under investing to keep that state of affairs. You can have your own beliefs, you can't have your own facts.

For some reason people who want to spend less money on infrastructure don't mention that they wouldn't mind if 50% of people don't have access to roads, hospitals, or electricity.
Reducing Real-Time Query Latency with an HTAP Database
If the ratio of real money to fake money is zero, there's either infinite fake money or no real money. That's already either 100% off or an infinity off from your previous message.

By the way, you're the one who called it fake money in your message, I responded to that.

The cash that I have had in my hands is as true as whatever field in a database at a bank, in that whichever we refer to either way the bank will agree to make use of it equally and if it doesn't or can't it won't discriminate either in its inability to use the value. In both cases, when shit hits the fan and the value that banks bet on needs to be present and isn't, the system as a whole pays the cost of that. Printing new bills to put in the banks vault does create the "money" as in bill but not as in value.

I don't even understand what you're trying to argue here, quite frankly. I have no problem with the social constructs of money and the fact that banks through loans are a vessel for humans to inject value into the system, so I don't see what conversation we're having here.

Information is not property, and its sharing and reproduction is not theft.

I agree that people who work on building complicated information (movies, software, ..) should be compensated, but not at the expense of our right to share. There are many proven business models that guarantee compensation without restricting sharing, but they don't generate as much money as industry standard "passive-revenue" (rent-seeking) scheme of "licensing" and copyright.

It's incredibly sad that many people no longer understand this.
I have plenty of anecdata to share on this confirming Safari is generally lighter, and for common usage that should be pretty reliable.

But from the same anecdata experience, what happens when it’s not is awful.

So the significant difference between Safari’s and Chrome’s model is how tabs are pooled into subprocesses. Safari quickly groups same-origin tabs into the same process which has a huge memory cost advantage. Chrome very aggressively spawns subprocesses per tab up to some pressure metric before it starts sharing processes across tabs, which consumes more memory but much more readily frees it too.

Safari’s model is basically more shrewd and probably better for average users, but the pathological case is GBs of unused memory with unclear priority and total system stalls. Chrome’s pathological case is much easier to reach but much easier to recover from because for the most part closing or killing a bad tab process fully relieves its resource pressure.

BTC trivially avoids, eg, chargebacks. It is effectively the only money transmission mechanism that verifiably does do.
True, but a decently-size metro probably only needs an engineer and may 3-4 tech support for every 50k households. In a metro area with 1 million subscribers, that's 20 engineer and maybe 80 tech support, then various administrative staff like payroll, manager, etc (say, another 20 people). Paying salaries of $120k per engineer, $50k per tech support, and $60k per admin, that's $2.4mm + $4mm + $1.2mm = $7.6mm in salaries.

That's $8 per year per subscriber. Yeah, you need to pay for equipment and such as well. But there's plenty left in the budget for that. Even if equipment costs were as much as salaries, the ISP only needs to charge $1.25 per month to turn a profit.
