From a different site (https://3dprintingindustry.com/news/sq4d-3d-prints-1900-sq-f...) it seems to me like they print the framing/sheathing/siding with rough openings for doors and windows, but not much else. It’s still thin on details but I think they rely on standard processes for roofing, wiring, plumbing, HVAC, etc. It’s a bit disappointing because I feel you could just as well pour concrete foundations and walls and achieve the same.
If I were doing the small/medium SaaS thing, I would vastly prefer to scale vertically rather than horizontally.

Maintaining a single machine is always going to be much easier than a cluster with k8s. Not to mention you can often toss most of your data set in RAM.

Not having to worry about sharding, affinity issues, DNS/addressing/networking, extra security is a godsend. Everything is easier on one machine.

Having a redundant machine for failover and release staging might be a good idea. But you'll need to figure out how to replicate your database and possibly your in memory cache layer (redis/memcached/etc.) and test it all. Not to mention database migrations can get tricky. Really, most people can probably get away with the typical maintenance window and notification, and shut everything down for 4 hours on a Saturday night or whatever. I mean... major banks and utilities do this. You'll be fine.

Is the concept of negative numbers really a problem for people to grasp? If yes, then we should teach that instead of using Kelvin to make it easier for them to know which number is bigger.

It’s really surprising to me how easily AI can be fooled. Maybe there is a fundamental difference between our visual system and what is represented in a visual recognition CNN. Could it be the complexity of billions of cells vs. the simplification of an AI, or something about the biology we haven’t yet accounted for?
> noreturn only works for functions which never return. Most panicking functions do return, just not all the time.

Sorry, I meant that any function that was noreturn could be inferred to take up to forever to return (since it always takes forever to return, since it never returns). Then, any function that calls such a function (in a non-DCEed position) can be inferred to also take up to forever to return (even though it might take less than that), because some possible code path through it (it's up to X amount of time to return) takes forever due calling a function that takes forever.
The surveillance and tracking complement advertising, but aren't necessarily part of it. I'd call it brainwashing instead.

We're a boutique machine learning consultancy and use our machine learning platform, https://iko.ai, in our meetings. The platform offers real-time collaborative notebooks, long-running notebook scheduling, automatic experiment tracking, model deployment or image building, and monitoring deployments. A lot of orchestration and moving parts. We use the real-time collaborative notebooks on the platform to have a notebook containing not only the agenda, but our remarks, action items, code snippets to reproduce bugs or feature proofs of concepts that we can execute in the meeting document itself.

There were countless times when we're discussing a bug and working on the same notebook, have a code snippet that reproduces the bug, and then propose a fix right there and then on the same notebook, and test that it works there. I love that recursion of using the tool to improve the tool itself.

So, that's the meta, unintended, use of the capability to improve the tool that provides it.

The principal reason we added that feature was to pair-program on the same notebook to refine, optimize, or troubleshoot ML code for our work for clients.

Soon, we'll use it in our hiring process given that the questions for some of our roles are about a machine learning problem. This way we'll see the applicant's experiments, models, iterations, etc. and they'll be able to deploy their models, monitor it, and use it seamlessly. It'll reduce friction for people with a more academic background, given this is one of the reasons we built this. We'll therefore be able to go back and forth with the candidate, see how they work through the problem.
I was very disappointed. The overlayed music doesn't match the film period or the visual tone at all.
No. This is such a small issue who honestly cares if it gets fixed? I guarantee you this is not the most important thing anyone involved could be working on. Too many perfectionists on this website.
The first part rings dangerously close to solipsism in my ears, and once you’re there nothing much matters.
Just trash the planet, use people and move on. Cause once you’re dead it doesn’t matter? I might be wrong but you can’t build a civilization in that way.

Second thing is that immortality creates conservatism. Old age does too, but it seems to me immortality over-indexes self-preservation over progress of civilization, where the former is just slightly less of a concern for the individual when lifetimes are as short as they are now.
I wouldn't be surprised if many people do have trouble with communicating negative temperatures. Many people have trouble with timezones and clearly communicating generally.

I’m curious if more will come out of this but it sounds like the attackers probably already attacked Julie or her employer (she appears to have worked for Tile, Oculus and others) and just signed the app with her ID. I bet they have a ton of these credentials in their pocket from previous infections.

Since this didn’t go through the App Store it probably wasn’t reviewed but the developer’s certificate would be checked when it’s run - hence the revocation now.
Can anyone say the singularity is upon us?
We are diverse.

Myself? This blog entry reads kinda like the Wiccan self-help books I was into in a big way as a teenager and no longer care for.

I hope to live long enough to benefit from SENS. I’m planning as if I don’t, because I have no control over which reality I will face and doing what I’m doing has the best expected utility given that uncertainty.

Then there’s the limits of any plausible form of immortality: While the idea of being part of a starlifting project to extend the lifespan of Sol by a factor of a thousand (and of being able to enjoy the benefits of that project ten trillion years from now) appeals greatly, curing ageing and all disease — leaving only injuries both accidental and malicious as causes of death — still leaves humans with a half-life of something like 800 to 1200 years. Give us mind-backups (which also appeal to me, but less so when I consider the likelihood of misuse) and you still have to consider the radical change in what it means to be over such timescales.

I don’t know what the future will bring, and I will plan for all too short a season, even though I will embrace life extension and do what I can to stay around for as long as I can.
VSL: Versatile Scripting Language
I used to be romantic about code, even more than that, and then I saw how the code other programmers like me wrote was used for all the wrong reasons and suddenly there was no ounce of romanticism left in the very idea of coding.

There could be some chance of regaining the lost romanticism if we'd throw "collaborative" concoctions like GitHub out of the window, if we'd get rid of the very idea of working for any FAANG-like company ever again (and to hell with those hellish interviews associated with them, too, nobody interviewed Shelley or Goethe before they sat down to write their romantic stuff) and to top it all it would be best if from now on we'd only write code for our own pleasure, maybe add a very short selection of friends, too, no more "software is eating the world" and all that materialistic and definitely non-romantic nonsense.
A friend of mine asked me: "why are taking it seriously and love to code? I do it just as routine job". Then, he didn't complete his career as programmer and switched to be business analyst.
So all the difficulties in engineering are due to "dicks" and "idiots", unlike like the author who is presumably the only clever person in the entire industry. Here is an example of one thing I actually don't like about this profession: too many emotionally stunted egomaniacs.

Absolutely. If you don't understand the mechanisms that create inflation and are still clinging to long discredited worries about the "money supply", then I'll bet against any opinion of yours on inflation. I'll win that bet much more often than not.
I'm explicitly and admittedly just not a PC gamer, but this is the one exception to the rule. Probably because I'm a longtime Linux on the desktop user, and there just wasn't much in the past.

You are very correct.

This is very very stupid. I mean it: stupid.

The act of planning is not about the future, it’s about the present. I haven’t experienced the future yet, so it has no value to me. But a chained sequence of events that have a certain likelihood of occurring does have value to me now in the form of the expectation (which I experience today) of the outcome.

The author also presumes no one can value states of the world except insofar as they are directly, materially experiencing that state of the world, but this is wrong.

For example, I’ve never visited Australia, but I would value a state of the world where Australian cryptography laws and email surveillance laws are reformed. I get value just from the concept of that state of the world. I suppose it’s similar to getting value from consuming a fictional work of art - I experience the concept of it, but it doesn’t materially exist in my presence. I don’t benefit from it (say, like an Australian citizen would), but I benefit from the concept of it and associated probabilities of the world changing to a certain state.

So if I am on my death bed with a special button laid out in front of me, which if pressed will automatically cause all Australian politicians’ pants to fall down until they vote to reform cryptography laws, and I believe there’s high probability the button would work and the embarrassment would work, then my impending death should not make me indifferent to pressing the button. With those precious few moments of life, I am experiencing something materially of value (a chained sequence of cause & effect with high probability to lead to a state of the world I value). The world I am in contains aspects of value I can experience that are functions of sequences of events leading to worlds I am not in. There’s nothing irrational, non-utilitarian or inconsistent about this.
DMR radios support SMS. But without a keyboard or touch screen it's not particularly user friendly. And you can't use encryption.
Yes. Exactly. But, tbf I could/should have tried harder to say that. I remember the Emacs manuals on vax systems used to say although it was a 24bit addressable space inside Emacs, they didn't guarantee if would be able to address all 24bits, but they'd try. And, from memory there are recursion limits you may need to turn off, and tail call optimisation and stuff is hard.

I read of a scifi tech that rotated a photon through the hoopajoo dimension, thus converting a 1.0c massless particle into a 0.9c particle that weighs a couple grams.

So we set up such a converting lens between the sun and earth and let our downshifted photons blast it to bits over a couple months.

There have been attempts at harvesting plastic from the ocean. I remember one fairly recently that built a system using crowd funding but I don't think it was as successful as hoped. If they keep trying I have little doubt they'll make it work and possibly even turn a profit.

I live in a remote area where Ham radio is still a vital communication protocol during power outages and such, but lately groups of non Hams (preppers, and such) have decided that buying those cheap FRS radios will serve them during an emergency.

And some of those groups are pushing people to get their FCC Ham license and use VHF radios because they can be used over greater distances.

Unfortunately, almost none of those folks are actually practicing with their radios to become comfortable using them.

So when an emergency occurs, they have no idea of what to do on the air, and they will cause harmful interference because they are willfully ignorant of the local communication protocols already set up by generations of Ham operators.

They will be a part of the problem, not a part of the solution.

I put on a "Jump Bag" presentation every year in my small town, and I warn folks that if they get an FRS radio or Ham radio, that they need to practice with it and become comfortable using it, otherwise they will not be helpful during an emergency, and will cause problems with the coordinated Hams.

Aside from that, I also recommend against getting an FRS radio unless they are willing to make sure the batteries in them are replaced on a regular basis, otherwise when the emergency occurs, they will find a dead FRS radio with corroded battery contacts, basically a paperweight and nothing more.

But...there's tons of projects already in use which use protocols that, if the regulatory body isn't following every open source project & actively updating their intake tools, effectively act as encryption schema.

The other problem is that there's factors in a company other than, strictly, its engineering culture. I could get a good job, in a good engineering culture, working in adtech, but as long as I have a choice I'd rather not.

The place I work instead can charitably be described as "a victim of regulatory capture," but at least I'm working in a business that I believe has a legitimate reason to exist.

> you need that much capital flowing in to maintain the market price

There's something off about the argument that you're making and I think it's that you have cause and effect backwards.

You keep phrasing this as if mining moves first before price, and investments in hardware are necessary to sustain high prices. But the reality is that high prices come first and incentivize investment. That investment is not required for Bitcoin to continue to operate, it's just an expected effect for a given cause.
This is 1990s philosophy with a pretty wrapper. We know it does not work even for pets, not to mention cattle.
Found it. The guidelines mentioned in the parent comment are voluntary. As I stated enforcement matters and in the Texas case there was none. However, in this case the Texas reputation for willful ignorance in the face of honest criticism is well earned. Oh and by the way El Paso's electricity provider didn't have problems, why? They aren't governed by Ercot and their voluntary regulations. El Paso is part of the western international grid and did perform winterization work as required.

So just wait for that to happen then elect a new one and repeat until he/she stops violating it. Voters can still vote for a prime minister who violates the constitution if they want. That's their right, and it's a good part of democracy. Hopefully the country has other institutions to prevent that but it sounds like Australia doesn't because the queen isn't doing her job, so it ends up de-facto allowed if the voters want it.
