I think you're right, but this is a difficult sentence to parse:

Facebook's algorithm is less likely to supply individuals with posts from counter-attitudinal outlets, conditional on individuals subscribing to them
Unfortunately that's actually what the future holds for the universe (as far as we can tell from current observations).

The universe will expand so much that civilizations into the VERY distant future will not be able to see other stars and galaxies, and will have no way to know that there's more out there.

It's quite sad actually.
Heat pump is essentially a "reverse mount of a refrigerator", putting heat in and throwing cold out. In the worst case, the pump will degrade into a heating element, only outputting heat from electricity (which is what a regular electric heater does).

Insulation is not a requirement, but will lower your energy needs to keep a steady temperature.
It's the same everywhere, I guess. I lived in Sausalito for 14 years, and can attest that that is exactly what a "tourist town" is/becomes, by design.
OVH deserve points for being one of the only hosting providers I know that make their entire network weathermap available to the public, showing all their global interconnects and then letting you channel it down to a per-DC level: http://weathermap.ovh.net/#europe
Does caste matter for Muslims and Christians in India?
Yeah, it reads to me like the usual age old generalizations of "I don't dislike group X but they're just dirty slobs with no manners, not their fault of course, but they are that."
In Kubernetes there is the "Desired State", which is the sum of all resources (your yaml files) and the "Actual State".

Whenever a change is requested on the "Desired State", Kubernetes will validate it (using RBAC, Admission Webhooks, ...) before persisting it (in etcd in most cases). Then after the persistance is done, it will notify the operators (watching the resources) that are in charge of performing the side effects (run that docker image, allocate that storage volume, ...), moving the "Actual State" closer to your "Desired State".

Creating a new Custom Resource Definition and an operator helps you hide the complexity. For example:

- the (builtin) Deployment operator creates a ReplicaSet
- the (builtin) ReplicaSet operator creates Pods
- the (builtin) Pod operator runs Docker images and updates the Pods status

Nothing prevents you from making an operator that creates Deployment/Services/Ingress for you.

This is even simplified with Helm (to template your resources) and the HelmOperator[1].

How does the rate of spread of the Internet compare to that of the printing press? I think the ubiquity of the internet is what makes people comfortable to judge it as if it is mature.
Can anyone comment on this site, and the others they run? It LOOKS trustworthy, but that certainly doesn't mean all that much. Trustworthy? Their FAQ only uses "we" as a claim of responsibility, which didn't make me feel all that much better, and they had their Twitter account suspended. I don't know what to think of this. It doesn't look super sus, but at the same time, I don't feel qualified to be a good judge.

A short story for bootstrappers.
Why NFT Collectibles Are Overhyped
On the contrary: small objects mean that fragmentation is NOT a problem: because your small nodes can be "fit anywhere". Furthermore, if you've got 1000x 8-sized allocations, any of those "holes" can be repurposed for other 8-sized allocations.

Meaning: linked lists innately make most simple allocators more efficient.

Linked lists are a tradeoff between the difficulty of malloc/free (of which arrays are very difficult), and latency (of which linked lists have much higher latency).

A ton of 8-sized allocations is better on fragmentation than a 8-sized / 16-sized / 32-sized ... allocation pattern that most arary-allocators use.
What is the ideal keyword density percentage in SEO?
It’s because A/C power equipment (transformers, panelboard, etc) have 0 semiconductors. This makes them extremely reliable over a long period of time vs a DC rectifier.
I'd imagine that they would have been cautious with highly cpu tuned instruction flow after the PPC->intel migration.
Engineering and marketing have contradictory value-systems, so it's easier to have them in separate people.

I wonder if separate rooms, with distinct smells, and wearing different hats would ease the transition.
I was about to comment on that, too, but I then came to think GP might have meant game misconducts (in case of getting actually physically violent) which would usually be a greater loss in case of a primary goalie than in the case of a random skater.

Still there's probably plenty of area where the penalty could be a two-minute minor (served by another player instead of the goalie), and where goalies are still permitted to defend their crease with means that would be considered roughing or something similar if done by skaters.
Custom Scripting in Lens Studio
That,s almost word for word the next sentence in my comment.
I worked with a dude at a Pac12 who expected rides home because he didn't have a car. I quit after he derisively referred to my friend and his attitude become intolerably obnoxious. This is what happens when someone is raised with 40 servants, becomes a stock broker, and then decides to dabble in medical academia instead. Treat kids like royalty and they will act like they're innately special and deserving more than others do.
Your Job Is Making You Frail
I had exactly that done to me. By a huge 200k+ employees corporate monster... You can taste the humiliation of having to justify every sudo through a ticket system. They censored the internet for employees too, in an of course absurdly broken way. Made me learn to read ASN.1 printouts & detect tampering with TLS certs. Add to that an iconic "Office Space"-ey workplace atmosphere, absolutely toxic... made me _request a headset_ from the company (employees are not allowed to bring their own); 2 weeks of ticketing again, and they deliver: an rj45-plug phone headset, with three obscure boxes on the wire (I can only presume, for surveillance). I've been testing my limits for 3 months with them, and left without saying a word. A lesson is a lesson.
You had a good point until the end.

There is nothing inherently wrong about passively consuming content. There is no need for us to be productive all the time.
AC is much easier on switches (the arc which occurs when opening the switch is extinguished at the next cycle, instead of the more sustained arc which occurs with DC).

AC is safer for humans, especially at high voltages. DC causes muscles to clench onto whatever the person touched, while AC makes you kind of jump away a bit more.

AC works with the rest of the power grid: synchronous generators, transformers and other heavy-duty equipment all rely on AC. DC alternatives are much more complex.

Edit: ah, I see you're not necessarily proposing we get rid of AC. In that case, having two systems would be complicated.
That's ok, but based on your example, how would a human apply an algorithm that it can't determine why it worked?

We're not talking about "Not Hotdog" here. Application of a model in a real-world at-scale scenario is a lot more than running inference and walking away.

At a bank credit decisions are evaluated by humans, frequently and often. These reviews are conducted in the forms of sampling audits, control processes, and other scenarios that involve internal bank employees and external regulators. In each case, humans will inspect the details of what occurred. This would be impossible with any type black-box model (SSL, deep NN, etc.).
From my experience, the only kind of linked list that still sometimes makes sense is the embedded one.

Except for poorer kids where "learning from home" isn't working. I think this approach that "we can just stay home and do everything online, we're saving lives, everything's fine," is generating a lot of unforeseen costs to society in the longer term.

Fifteen years ago Photoshop took 2-3 minutes to load on an average computer.

These days it takes 8-15 seconds on a non-M1.

Filters that used to take 50 seconds to run now finish in just a couple.

The point you're making is true with some software. But not Photoshop.
By 1500, printing presses in operation throughout Western Europe had already produced more than twenty million volumes.

It took roughly 30 or 40 years for the press to be widely distributed around Europe.

Show HN: Google Sheet to API with your own defined schema
Yes, this is the point I am trying to make. Self-supervised models using already opaque techniques built by an ethically flexible company is not a good recipe.
True, but there's a difference between solving ops problems by throwing more money at hardware and solving ops problems by thinking smarter. That's why I think that some multiple of an FTE salary is a good metric for when you start transitioning to more complex operational setups, because it gives you a number for when the gain of that new complexity is worth the cost.
> These kids (huge majority from upper castes) are treated with too much deference at home by the parents, family and society. Since they are served well at home by servants ...

Do not know which area you are from. But in practice most of the traditional "Upper caste" people are not rich enough for having servants. Their air of superiority comes from mere name of the caste and tribal feeling, but upper caste people will be dime a dozen in any given area and grow up like middle class kids.
That is helpful to hear, thanks for sharing— dismissing the board member especially feels like a very tangible, real thing.
>This is something torontonians have gotten over ages ago.

Bad example. Canada is a globalist punching bag and their behaviour isn't indicative of a country that has grown but one that has merely submitted.

I lived in Toronto for a couple of years and even at that point most of the people I met who were born and bred there were hauling ass out of the city to places like Barrie, Burlington or other provinces entirely. What's left is a city full of people with little ties to the place and with little in common beyond being "fans" of manufactured "Canadian" MLSE teams and a love for consuming mainly American media, American brands and American social issues. It's a soulless husk of a city and one that should serve as an example to others of what not to let your home descend to.
The fact Sean did this multiple times makes me smile.

Indeed, there was a service I used back in around 2008 that did just this. It wasn't about predictions per se, but timestamping content. They were called GuardTime. The company still exists, but the service does not seem to, anymore.

It wasn't based on a public, distributed block chain, but it was a kind of a block chain (without PoW, PoS etc. - which you don't need if it's run by a single actor). The way they built trust was that they did publish their hash (tip of the block chain) I think in the (printed) Financial Times periodically. That made it impossible even for them to forge the chain.
This is such a nonsense. People (VCs) pay money for this and you get to call this a startup? This feels more like investment from YC to tick the diversity checkbox than anything else.
In the mid 00s, my advisor had me explore the concept of adding default parameters to C++ functions where the default snagged the nearest lexically scoped named object of the right type from the calling environment, i.e.,

int someFunctionThatAllocates(int A, int B, allocator const& alloc = default);

Then in the calling environments:

{
auto& alloc = james;
if (someFunctionThatAllocates(4, 5)) // ok, uses 'alloc'
{
}
}
{
if (someFunctionThatAllocates(4, 5, james)) // ok, uses 'james'
{
}
}
{
auto& alloc1 = james;
if (someFunctionThatAllocates(4, 5)) // error: no `alloc` in scope
{
}
}

It handily solves a number of problems. In particular, we were looking at how we manage heap allocation for large sparse matrix libraries a la MTL4.
I forgot the details. One of the issues was some audio via hdmi that went to sleep and caused a system crash. I think I even fixed that but still had the monitor go black sometimes and lost the will to try to fix it.

It uses the OS-level calendar account integration, so it supports whatever MacOS does, including Google Calendar - that's functionality I actually use, on a daily basis, right now.

That said, Itsycal doesn't seem to play well with meeting links - for example, I've never been able to click a Webex link from the Itsycal UI and have the meeting actually open; I think it's not passing the URL exactly, or something, but I always have to visit the Calendar app and click the link from there. Not sure if Zoom has the same trouble in Itsycal, but I can definitely see a potential win in something that does better with meeting integrations.

I'm still sticking with Itsycal at least for now; meeting link issues aside, it works really well for me and I'd rather wait for a real killer feature to switch. That aside, congrats and best of luck to the Superpowered team!
They pivoted. It happens. That doesn't tell you anything about what their plans are now.

You’re not alone. “Adobe has finished porting most of Photoshop to Apple M1” would have been unambiguous.
Agreed, the engineering side is where valuable growth is/will be. Also from the limited sample I know of (people I know who are hiring managers) the candidate pool for data scientists lacks people with genuine analytical ability. Training models is easy, thinking the right way about data is hard.
My issue with agile development is that you dramatically slow down progress by having too much process. You spend more time planning and talking about the work then actually doing the work. So everything progresses in a iterative hive mind approach. So maybe this means that the requirements and planning process is broken rather than being a problem with agile itself but it seems that agile enables too much of a just in time dev process where development is interrupt driven.

To give an example, try to write an essay in an agile way or a book. Or try to paint a painting in an agile way. Would you build a house in an agile way?

"People were too cynical about one YC startup, therefore any future cynicism is invalid" doesn't really make a lot of sense.
No. The hardware is leased - you can't buy an IBM mainframe. All the software is priced per MIP per CPU core for your installation - regardless of how much you actually use the software. For all intents and purposes that software is leased as well. There's also retroactive charges - if you bump of the capacity of your mainframe mid-cycle on your license then you have to retroactively pay for the upgrade. We had a situation where that happened with one of our vendors and somehow it got missed for a few years and we ended up owing millions of dollars.

So imagine an environment where you can't buy your hardware, you can't buy your software, and when you've made an upgrade to your hardware your software gets even more expensive. That's a mainframe.

Our mainframe, which is mostly used for customer billing (electrical utility billing is slightly complex due to all the different tariffs, localities and taxes), and customer relationship & service management, is costing us $15 million - $20 million per year. On the one hand you'd say holy smokes that's expensive! But on the other you could say that's only $3-$4 per customer per year. Thing is you could do the same amount of processing in AWS for under $250,000 per month or $3 million per year, making the mainframe at least 5-7 times more expensive than AWS.

Anecdotal, but in university I lived with a large group of students. One housemate came from India for his Masters, and become a real friend we thought. Had lotsa fun together, etc. Until after 4 years or so his wife came over to live together near the university campus. Then it appeared they were really high caste, and he never spoke to us again, even in greeting when passing by.

And on every single directory on your Mac that you visit using Finder. Not just on USB drives and network shares.

MacOS has done some interesting things with extended attributes and other metadata, but why in God's name can't we get rid of the .DS_Store is beyond me.

Here's something even better. When copying files across to non Mac file systems, be prepared for a ton of files with names like "._.filename".

Once in a while I clean out the clutter:

Where by large you mean 1000$? Why would you have to be a millionaire to be able to afford that? What exactly do you plan to buy for your kids?

Expensive holidays are not automatically better, by the way. You don't need a luxury hotel abroad, maybe kids would actually have more fun going camping.

Also everybody seems to be missing the point that those 1200$ from the article where a business expense, not a "selfish purchase" as such.
Not acceptable within that person’s value system and virtues, which they’re signaling by calling it problematic. It’s an appeal to an imaginary Problematic Idea Authority that maintains a list of what people aren’t allowed to believe. When the commentary you dislike isn’t an exact fit for something readily indictable on the list, find something close that is on the list (bonus points if it involves a controversial figure), reduce and compare what’s said to that, then proceed with shooting down the proxy opinion regardless of whether your read of what the person was saying is accurate. It doesn’t matter.

Read it again. That’s precisely what happened, followed by clicking the person’s profile to move on to fundamentally shaming the person rather than the problematic idea. That’s a standard playbook in 2021 and it is absolutely not at all about what was actually said. It’s a mating dance for those with similar belief structures and the person being disagreed with is a passenger; the response is only marginally addressing the speaker.

This community can’t get enough of that conflict because the microcosm of people it represents themselves cannot. So it does well here. Other people peacock it, and before you know it, it’s our defining culture. It’s how talking about culture without disparaging other cultures gets risky, because of the pattern matching mechanic against a black and white list with no acknowledgment of grays. “You talked about race, therefore you’re racist” is increasingly logical to folks, and once that chum is in the water whatever point you may have had no longer matters.
