I think text written by models should be properly marked as such. It's too cheap to generate and doesn't have a reputation to defend.

So the first thing I would do with the message would be to put it into a model to detect artificial text, before deciding if I want to see it.
The problem though is that it might be a hobby, a secondary source of income, or the owner is not that skilled at business. The same idea might (or might not) get much more revenue with different circumstances.
I get what you’re saying but I don’t think that’s what’s happening here at all. His main statement is that there’s an biological explanation which is perfectly comprehensible. Backing it with a link instead of stating the explanation himself may be preferable but that doesn’t mean he did it to shut anyone down or that it should have that affect.

I can't speak for McKinsey at all. I will take your word for it. My limited experience has not been positive.
I'm wondering why you think supercomputers are actually built for. Besides that, the type of computational problems that are submitted to and that BOINC helps solving are different to those that a supercomputer solves. The former (known as High Throughput Computing, HTC) is concerned mainly -- as the name suggests -- with throughput, while the latter (High Performance Computing, HPC) with speed/latency.

There is a reason why Cloud providers do not yet have "real" HPC offerings (i.e., performance-wise), even though with all the marketing they do to appear otherwise..

Bitcoin was mean to be p2p cash. It has no legitimate use case anymore as it obviously failed to be p2p cash.

Ethereum tried to be many things mostly a decentral computer. Turned out to be a super expensive decentral computer and that it isn't really so decentral in the current version.
However its technically used this way by some people so that de-facto means it has a valid use case.

I think you two are basically agreeing. GP is saying that such credentials are [edit]not a strong proxy for merit (true) but a good proxy, along with a few other things, for network value and social standing, etc. So if you don't have that credential but want to compete with people who do, the worst thing to do is do it on their home field, as it were (e.g. Mckinsey). Instead, prove yourself somewhere else and if you do it well enough you'll be on an even footing (or better) later on.

I am not up to speed on this, but I’ve long considered Tether to be extremely harmful to the cryptocurrency community as a whole and to Bitcoin in particular.

As a result I’ve not purchased additional cryptocurrency in several years. The first bull run after the inevitable correction when the situation with Tether is resolved is my personal signal to buy.

Indeed. I understand it's a multi-faceted issue given the economic development the airport has provided (and continues to provide), but it seems health and wellness externalities were not priced in fully. Now that the airport is built and housing density only continues to increase - where does this lead?

From the wikipedia article:

> SAN is in a populated area. To appease the concerns of the airport's neighbors regarding noise and possible ensuing lawsuits, a curfew was put in place in 1979. Takeoffs are allowed between 6:30 a.m. and 11:30 p.m. Outside those hours, they are subject to a large fine. Arrivals are permitted 24 hours per day.[47] While several flights have scheduled departure times before 6:30 a.m., these times are pushback times; the first takeoff roll is at 6:30 a.m.

I'm glad you found it useful!

If we're talking about political regimes, though, I don't think we're even talking about "less stable" regimes—whatever you might think about Cuba ethically, old Raúl and his brother have been in power there for over 60 years and show no signs of losing control, and I don't see any signs of incipient revolution in Indonesia, PRC, Mexico, or Vietnam either. Here in Argentina we've remained democratic since 01983, electing presidents from three different political parties (UCR, PJ, and PRO), and there's no serious insurgency. It's the economy and government policy that are ruinously unstable, to a point that seems satirical to anyone accustomed to the US, but is lamentably common worldwide.

Thank you for the ego strokes!
I figured something like that would be the reasoning. I don’t doubt there’s a real web of trust, but IMHO that should be a bit more explicit.
Look the actual problem as solved by BTC which is digital cash with no protections like chargebacks requires only one single trusted entity (can be more if we want) maintaining a very simple ledger of transactions operating in the open with auditing done by interested parties.

This is plenty achievable given that banking, which is far more complicated and messy, works. It doesn't not require a small country's energy usage to achieve human consensus.

BTC is super cool having created an pseudoanonymous digital voting system that's resistant to ballot stuffing but we're allowed to make stronger assumptions for our financial systems.
Well, you, as a programmer, can make the assumption that anyone creating JSON for consumption by your program will obey this requirement. Generally speaking, it's not a good idea to make that assumption, because even people within your team or company may not know of that rule or expect it to be enforced and may break it.

Also, there's the problem of different JSON libraries behaving differently. Such as using unordered hashmaps as an internal data representation for parsed content, making compliance difficult.
> The normative text

Unlike some RFCs, which clearly and explicitly delineate normative from informative material, RFC 8259 does not, but the text you cite is on its face informative rather than normative: it does not specify what an implementation MUST or SHOULD do, or what the object model IS, it describes the variety of preexisting implementations (based, correctly or not, on prior specifications) that are in the wild.
> it makes me feel safer

This for me is one of the biggest things I like about working under version control, even solo. It gives me the freedom to explore some crazy idea or refactor without having to think about the way back if it doesn't pan out. If it turns out to be more complex than I am willing to do now, I can stash or branch.

If I think back to my pre-source control days, I used to leave commented code everywhere, or just make a full copy of the folder. It doesn't take long before this becomes an absolute mess. Copying in particular was a barrier: you had to realize it was necessary then interrupt your flow to do something that would take a several seconds. (By contrast, if you commit as you go - especially everytime you get to a working "checkpoint" - there's zero extra effort needed.)
Kind of, but the incompatible versions all come from IBM.
Fair enough. I don't know Bush's GPA. But the idea that he was objectively unintelligent and the average critic is smarter and more qualified to be president always rubs me the wrong way.
Lets of course also not forget the biggest one, COVID.

COVID was fake news, until it wasn't. Previous weeks (months?) were spent suppressing warnings about it.

I specifically remember being banned for saying that people should wear face coverings. In February I tried saying that people should think twice before taking the subway or going to Lunar New Year.

January 2020, there was overwhelming evidence that something bad was coming, even though independent and citizen journalists didn't know the exact scope of it.

But their narrative was that COVID may exist but it isn't dangerous, and wearing a mask is alarmist and probably sinophobic racist Russian propaganda; continue having public gatherings and stop asking questions.

Within 48 hours, big tech decided that the truth is that we had always been at war with Eurasia and that anyone who had any doubts about lockdown strategy was basically a white supremacist and needed to be censored with extreme prejudice.

In my mind, that should have been it. After so many lives lost, that is when we should have decided that corporate america should not set up a de-facto ministry of truth, but I guess most people don't agree with me.
IANAL, but the "BigBasket" complaint seems likely to be valid given that they are an established, potentially $500 million a year business and "DailyBasket" is a 6 month old startup.

You disagree with letting censorship be decided on democratically?
This comment has a critical undertone but I think it's pretty much right. Thinking back, when I was 17 and applying for college, deciding what schools you should apply to was a really murky process. Most people pretty much depended on reputation & word-of-mouth, and nobody even talked about schools outside the state. On top of that, a 17 year old has had little time to accrue knowledge of various schools. Whereas today you can find an endless trove of information from your bedroom to feed your decision.
If fiat deposits into Bitfinex create USDT, shouldn't fiat withdrawals from Bitfinex burn USDT?

I'm having trouble to find comprehensive data on USDT burns but https://coinmarketcap.com/headlines/news/tether-just-burned-... seems to suggest that one billion is extraordinary (and those weren't removed from circulation but swapped to another chain), and Tether finds it Twitter-worthy when they burn 100 million: https://twitter.com/Tether_to/status/1225088948243968005

For sure I don't expect Bitfinex fiat withdrawals to match fiat deposits, but 100 million USD withdrawn vs 30 billion deposited seems unordinary?

The problem is that there still linger rose-tinted visions of the British Raj in the minds of the British public and ruling class, which blinds many from the abject cruelty that was exacted on millions of Indians.

You say the assumption that Britains occupation of India " was not of any major economic benefit to Britain itself." is incorrect. Yet, I hear many post-facto justifications of colonialism or minimisations of the cruelty and harms of colonialism.

This revisionist history or blindness towards the actual harms of the British Raj could cause Britons to yearn for the glory of yesteryear, and could lend to support for neocolonialist programs.
True, but very misleading.

When you add a marginal kWh of electricity usage, how is that extra 1 kWh generated?

If France runs its nuclear power at nearly 100% utilisation, then if you add 1 kWh usage then that power comes from another source, which could be a high CO2 emitter.

The same goes for hydroelectricity: if all the hydroelectric power is already being utilised (no spillway), then you cannot claim that your electric car is being charged by hydro even if your country has a large percentage of it. There are complications when lakes are involved because whether your power usage is green or not often depends upon future inflows (lots of future rain = green; no future rain = dirty generation in future when lakes get low).
I don't think that's exclusive to the Ivy League. People are paying money for college everywhere, and a lot of them can barely afford it. Thus, professors are hesitant to outright fail students. I say this as a former lecturer and teaching assistant at a non-Ivy.
> The hard part is quoting the rate with a straight face

The best anecdote I heard about that was the guy (wish I could remember his name, but he was interviewed by Matt on Freelance Transformation) who found that it was much easier to quote a high rate if he had a cigar in his mouth because it made him feel like a mogul :-)

I'm guessing that was on the phone...
Context: bulge bracket bank.

Within my area, data sourced from just about everywhere, Oracle, Maria, SAP, SharePoint, flat files, etc. Alteryx and Informatica used to structure data, with some Python at the more advanced level.

On the visualization side most everything is Tableau or Qlik, with the former having the larger footprint (maybe 3x as large). Tableau is oriented more for less technical business teams, Qlik Sense for more technically included teams (more powerful, at the expense of being more difficult), and QlikView for a lot of legacy dashboards -- currently reviewing whether to close it off to new development.

On the reporting side, primarily Cognos.

We rely heavily on vendor applications since we can typically insure support is available.

Only new tool we've evaluated and picked up recently (last couple of years) has been Looker, which was licensed for a small use case and hasn't worked as expected. Interest has been primarily in the scripting/ETL component, less so on the visualization side, but the license model makes it very expensive for what we use it for.
I prefer the traditional lexer -> parser -> optimization -> code generator path.

Exactly, the current strain of Conservative "thought" is to attack all forms of authority in order to muddle the truth and introduce doubt that any subject is knowable or provable. Allowing misinformation to spread serves that goal nicely and all they have to do is sit back and do nothing.

Their entire goal is to create a society where their gut opinions are just as good as knowledge from experts, because experts hurt their feelings (e.g. the Conservative reaction to the 1619 Project: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1776_Commission).

Some believe this is an intentional Ponzi scheme to print some money for the owners of Tether and Bitfinex, others believe they had good intentions at first, but through bad investment or otherwise got underwater, and started "investing" their USDT-backing dollars to claw back up.

Bitfinex originally denied relation to Tether but it's been proven that was a lie.

The worry is, at some point there could be a "run" on Tether, when the curtains are pulled back, where all the USDT-BTC traders who happen to have USDT holdings and they suddenly become worthless because nobody wants to trade USDT-BTC anymore at 1-1.

As long as "public confidence" in USDT continues, the charade will too

It can be higher. TLC is often warranted for ~600 drive writes over 3 to 5 years. Obviously, since this is a safe threshold, many will keep working. Techreport.com did a huge test a few years back that showed some drives beat their ratings a few times over.

But let’s compare. Your linked article claims an endurance 10x higher than retail drives (5800 drive writes). That’s not even remotely likely. These are all now TLC drives, and companies have more experience in how long drives will last now, so the ratings are pretty accurate. In 2 months the linked author used 2% of his expanded figure. Assuming the often warranted retail endurance instead, that’s actually 20%. I have a 1TB drive in my desktop I’ve been using for compilation workloads for 2 years. The % used isn’t even at 1% yet, and that’s assuming the lower endurance rating.

Something is wrong here.
