Hi, Nilay & Sergii here from Kamu.

Kamu is a new generation data management tool that aims to connect data publishers and consumers worldwide via decentralized data pipeline, and allow people to collaborate on cleaning, transforming, and enriching data.

Think of it as your typical multi-stage data pipeline (e.g. NiFi/Spark/Flink/Beam), but where every stage can be maintained by a different person.

Our goal is to stop the madness where world's essential data is being exchanged by copying CSV files of questionable origin around, and provide a solution that:
- Can deliver data in near real-time
- Guarantees its complete trustworthiness (reproducibility, lineage, provenance)
- Has no central authority

The tool is based on the Open Data Fabric protocol, which we've also open-sourced to encourage a broad discussion about the future of data sharing between organizations (see link in the post).

We've been developing it for 2.5 years, and excited to share our first prototype with the broad audience. We'll be grateful for your feedback and happy to answer questions!
I would encourage you to look deeper than just following the mainstream narrative you currently are. The world is much more complex that you are giving it credit in this statement.
My point is that there are many developers who would love to contribute to open source projects, but they don't have wealthy parents who pay bills, didn't inherit a flat, have families to feed and so on, so for them only viable option is to seek employment or work on their own business. People who can commit their time to work on open source are privileged and by giving their work away for free they create a situation that there is less work for people who cannot afford that. For example a company instead of hiring developers, paying salaries and taxes to create a tool they need, will instead use open source project for free and that means other developers are missing out.
Ensuring that everyone gets paid levels the playing field.
This is the same situation as you have with free internships - there are people whose families have money, so they can afford to get experience working for a company for free and that puts people from poor background into a disadvantage - that's why in many places unpaid internships are illegal.
I’m so sorry, this sounds truly awful.
Your reply is very unclear -- you are scared because someone doesn't want a massive patch that touches everything and adds another thing everyone has to remember?

Why is this worth it? I'm not saying it isn't, but it's reasonable for people to want very clear wins, and no alternative, for this kind of massive change which adds a little more cognitive load to everyone, forever.

So this might take a while- there is a lot of literature on datalog variants with and without negation or recursion etc. I will have to check with some coleagues. I'll try to come back to you by Tuesday the latest.

In the mean time you might find the following reference useful (or not because it's typically thick in opaque notation):

http://webdam.inria.fr/Alice/

It's a textbook on databases. There are several chapters on datalog, including negation and recursion which may be of some help, but so far I can't form an intuition about when datalog is decidable with negation. I think it is, but with restrictions e.g. stratification, as you say, or restricting to non-recursive programs, disallowing nonmonotonic updates (as in my sketch proof above) etc. Indeed, it's a bit frustrating because the literature seems to be endlessly fragmented into sub-languages with different properties that are difficult to summarise concisely and I could just not find a straightforward answer "this works" as far as I looked (which was a couple of hours since I left my previous comment).

As I say in my comment above, there is a substantial amount I _don't_ know about datalog :)
A more realistic option is to abandon WSL as yet more crap from Microsoft.
We already have false confidence problems. Security scanning is a billion-dollar industry based on looking up digests in a table. But because the table is maintained by third parties, their incentives are to always be over-cautious. If they give false positives, the burden falls on their customers or the upstream dependency. But false negatives fall on the vendor. So they create noise.

SBOMs from the upstream push the cost back to the upstream and (sorry, investors and founders) vitiate the necessity of those third-party scanning vendors. The incentives change and so too, I expect, would the behaviour.

Buying a home. But not for any of the typical reasons.

If you told me back in February that I'd buy a home in 2020, I'd have told you to get lost. I lived alone in a small apartment, with a "necessities" mentality, and homeownership was on my radar for 5-10 years out. Why invest in exercise equipment when I go to a gym, a decent WFH setup when I work in an office, or kitchenware when most of my meals are eaten at work or meetups? Why buy a home, if I seem to just use home for a place to sleep?

The pandemic rapidly changed that mentality. "Necessities" was now synonymous with "going without".

The straw that broke the camel's back was the big trees out back being chainsawed down all day over three days (they needed to; they were hanging out by a transmission line). That changed the view from my porch from something resembling nature (and for much of the pandemic, that was my "nature"), to industrial buildings puking out vapor.

So I didn't buy a home for a partner, pets, kids, or otherwise - I still have none of those. But my overall health has increased considerably by having a backyard that won't change unless I want it to, a small home gym to prevent dropping even more muscle, a dedicated office space to delineate when WFH starts and ends, and an open-plan kitchen. And with the interest rates the way they are, I figure I've just saved future-me a ton of money anyway.
Yes! I want a Home Assistant panel in my house but don't want to hack together some old Android monstrosity.
> these platforms are owned by millionaires such as the Winklevoss twins, who famously sued Mark Zuckerberg for stealing their idea for Facebook.

Makes you wonder if Facebook would have been worse under these two.
>Does that count as maths?

Yes, that's exactly what I meant when I said "a little bit of it".

I switched from being on hyper-stock Android for a decade to the latest iPhone last year. I use OSX so wanted to get more out of the ecosystem by matching up.

Mostly I'm enjoying it, but I really hate the pointless infantilizations iOS puts on you. Like really, I can't type the word 'murder'?

It's not like this is the worst inconvenience in the world, but it's just so insultingly patronizing that it drives me crazy. There's not even a setting to confirm I'm an adult and let me type the no-no words.
I like this perspective.

It also hints at a potential resolution - Pull the team away from the technology for a little while so they can focus on the abstract problem domain.

Most developers probably don't have the capacity to think about shiny new technology while simultaneously running traps on the fundamental business domain abstractions. Taking time away from the computer to think about the problem you are actually trying to solve is a big deal. Many just get caught up fighting their own tools and lose sight.

One simple trick - If you are not yet at a point where you can cleanly model your problem domain in terms of SQL tables & relations (even if you don't intend to use this technology), you have absolutely no business touching the rest of the effort. There are notions that you can actually have a provably-correct model of your domain at a certain level. 3NF/BCNF schemas have fundamental mathematical implications that are very powerful. Entire classes of accidental complexity can be obviated with a clean domain model.

If you cook and have to clean large pots and baking trays, then dishwasher doesn't help you with that as much. These items cannot fit into a regular home dishwasher and these take the most time to clean and dry compared to washing plain plates and utensils.

Also dishwashers are not good for roommate arrangements because unless strict rules are enforced things keep piling up in it or you cannot put stuff inside while it is running. Still have to hand wash it yourself then.

I can see the utility of dishwashers for single people or couples who don't cook, but honestly I haven't found them very useful myself.

Also if you get proper bluetooth headphones and enjoy podcasts, washing dishes can become one of your favorite activities, like mine.
In the case of artists the foundation of the trust relies on the fact that the token is only valuable if it comes from the artist. This doesn't involve locking anyone up, as tokens created by people who aren't the artists are simply ignored since they inherently have no value.

There's no reason to assume that in other domains what you said should be the case more often than what I said if we both don't know the details of said domains.
Low code isn't bad until you try to use a lot of it just like OOP isn't bad until you use too much of it. There is always a temptation that leads one to use too much of these. We have had low-code visual software design for decades. SQL Server Integration Services comes to mind. It does not solve the core problem. Maintainability. The last thing software needs is an invitation to more people that aren't yet aware of the problems of maintenance.

There is not an extremely high barrier to coding. That is not a problem. There is a huge barrier to learning how to produce maintainable and adaptive systems and that barrier is only made worse with low-code tools and services.
People are motivated by way more than just money.

Sounds like a lot of work. Not sure why you think that is superior to simply using a blockchain.
I completely agree with you.

I think it's a failure of the school system from a very early age because math is heavily dependent on foundations of previous classes.

And I think it's more than just sharing the information we have to also make rational thinking fields as fun and cool as the emotional expression fields of study like English or Music and not the domain of 'nerds'.

I think our whole culture would be way better off if people had better critical thinking logic and math skills.
Any resources you’d recommend for someone interested in doing this?

Interesting here.

If I go to a market and look for the best quality for the best price, I suppose I'm encouraging sociopaths, too.

There may be some argument for the scale of Amazon needing to take a deeper look. But requiring that a buyer of a good or service must know how the sausage is made would break our system.

Instead, the vendors do need to be held accountable.

For the record, I think these tech monopolies are a bad thing as a whole for the overall market but not because they're trying find the best deals on goods and services. More because they monopolize, and set the rules for the largest marketplaces which only governments should do.
And have a good attorney.
At some point we have to admit that the richest corporations and people in the world, with the most power to change the system, are not just playing in the system but are a part of what makes it broken. From their perspective the system is not broken at all — it’s doing exactly what it was designed to do, which is to make shareholders (themselves) fabulously rich at the expense of laborers.

On one side of the equation we have people being paid poverty wages, on the other side we have the richest man in the world with the power to change that. This isn’t a coincidence or just a strange, second-order, unintended byproduct of the system. It’s cause and effect. It’s what the system was designed explicitly to do. The system is in fact working to spec.

This reminds me that there is a fascinating Econtalk podcast episode on the subject of how the kidnapping insurance market works. Companies who have employees working in parts of the world where they are at risk of kidnapping for ransom have access to insurance against this risk.

Two of the things that struck me about this market are (a) the insurance companies require their customers to get serious about mitigating the risk. Employees all have to attend training on how to avoid kidnapping and what to do when it happens, the insurance customer has to take other measures to limit where they go, the customer has to beef up physical security, etc. And there are some situations they refuse to insure, so that's a big red flag. The insurance company becomes a partner in doing everything they can to prevent kidnappings. and (b) customers are sworn to secrecy and may not reveal that they have this insurance. Employees don't know they are insured against kidnapping. They don't want kidnapped employees spilling the beans.

The insurers have local negotiators in their employ who often have longstanding relationships with the kidnappers.

Anyways, a bit tangential, but I learned a lot about this niche industry, and it gave me more of an appreciation for how insurers can raise the professionalism of their customers in their efforts to minimize risks. A similar approach with the benefit of setting standards could definitely apply to cybercrime insurance.

I know it's probably just a figure of speech. But do those things even have keys?? I'd be surprised.

It'd be funny if you're trying to scramble and the last pilot forgot to put the keys back on the board :P Just mentioning it because this exact thing happened to me with one of the local flying club's 172s and I had to drive all the way back out. But of course those are not used for national defense purposes.

I always thought fighters and airliners didn't have keys because they're never parked outside of areas with sufficient physical security anyway.

You shouldn't get an advantage on breaking the rules just because you were doing it in a way that is safer. Break rule, get consequence.

Besides, others on the road don't care about how good your brakes are. They just care about what to expect and someone speeding by is not what they expect. And its not like the brakes are gonna help you much if you make a mistake. If anything the extra feeling of safety is gonna make you drive more riskily.
Sigh 6 guitars :D
I'd like to point out that as a manager, my stress and anxiety level have gone through the roof during this WFH period. As I was an IC for many years, I completely see your point but I'd like to point out the other side. I've talked to several other managers in my org, and I am not alone. Some part of it may be that older people (who are likely to be in management) are more likely to have kids (which led to untenable situations during school lockdowns).

Flexibility in producing the "right" work product is really key. In many large corporate environments, figuring out what is the right work product is possibly more work than the work itself. I have a feeling we may even see different models between different types of companies (nimble startups vs small companies vs large corps). In my personal org, what you are describing can be viewed as an engineer "phoning it in" .. as the engineer is depending on their manager or team lead to assign them the right work. An IC who phones it in may think they are a top producer but will get surprised when it comes to their career progression.
NeXTSTEP Interface Builder. It found it's way into XCode, but the constraint system with autolayout just got tedious.
No, its pretty clear from reading his entire response that he understands exactly what sargable means. "just use indexes properly" is pretty ambiguous, but the rest of his comment provides context. It doesn't make much sense to me to be indexing on fn(x) for predicates unless an alternative sargable predicate is too complex or not possible, but that doesn't mean that it's never the best solution.
Agreed, I always took my friends and family there when we they visited. It's such a cute and unique little place: the vault, the book tunnel, the book hole to take pictures through (though often with a line heh), the vending machines for little cards and gifts, not to mention the books themselves and comfy chairs to read for a bit.

He advertised his NFT experiment on a forum [1] (a French equivalent of 4chan) and it went viral there. Some people bought it as a joke (knowing it was worthless). Nothing prove he didn't buy the tokens himself to hype it.

Interesting. So your interpretation is the reverse of what I thought: the goal is not to somehow make people spend on reforestation (who otherwise wouldn't) but make people do more work, provide those with extra motivation, who do think reforestation is important.

Because you end up feeding a primate/reproductive prime control system, using unlimited and synthetic input. The system was never designed for the this kind of "bandwidth". Since we are biological machines, other parts of the organism need to compensate... This compensation is very dangerous in the long run both from a personal and a social side.

You could argue the same about entertainment. But seeking it is not a prime directive on an organic level opposed to reproduction.
Their software and hardware are open source. Far cry from alternative android tablets. Either way, building a tablet, even based on a raspberry pi, is no easy feat.
A nice writeup, which (surprisingly) matches with my time in a different university studying a different science subject nearly 40 years ago! Your closing remarks however, caused me to raise my eyebrows: university education has always been predominantly for pre-vocation students. Those who do not yet have jobs etc. Sure, there is (famously in the UK) the Open University for "mature" students, but typically they require 2-4 times the education period to complete. Oh, and before people pick me up on "jobless students", I am fully aware that many students these days have to take part time jobs to even afford their education (which I find shocking).
Agreed. Programmers code. Developers build software. Most software engineers work under a developer (business subject matter expert, slash, product owner) as programmers.

The person who envisions and specifies the features is the developer. The person who translates those into code is a software engineer or programmer. Sometimes they are the same person. In the corporate world, rarely ever.

In the corporate world if the software engineer can capture and document a business domain's processes then they are effectively taking the job role of developer from the product owner. Most people are comfortable leaving that in the hands of someone else and making it "their job." Engineers have the chance to take power but rarely do because they get caught up in the weeds of trying to covert a trickle of requirements into code because...agile. Developer Hegemony, when are we going to wake up?
Keep writing and don't give a shit.
I think on balance it actually hurts more than it helps.

The author lists Equifax as a case where an organization “failed to update a web server in timely fashion (a few months)” but a software bill of materials would not have made it any more or less obvious that they were running vulnerable web software an attacker could get a foothold in, and could have made it easier for an attacker to exploit that foothold, pivot, and exfiltrate, knowing what other software is available for them to exploit.

Equifax didn’t “fail” to manage that particular vulnerability, as the author describes, and protect customer data. They neglected to manage the vulnerability and protect customer data.

It’s my opinion that what would actually be valuable (and have been valuable) in the case of Equifax is compliance legislation that places liability on the custodian of PII. This compliance should require companies which are custodians of PII or financial data, or which operate critical infrastructure to have a vulnerability management practice.
My assertion is that it would be impossible for a non-conscious entity to speak convincingly about consciousness. But to be more specific, I think of qualia as a kind of combinator. You can combine qualia together to produce new qualia. So for example, combine the number 5 with the color yellow. Now you see a yellow 5 in your imagination. Now think of combining yellow with blue. You see green? Now think of adding a yellow 5 to a blue 2. You see a green 7?

As simple as this little-thought experiment is, training a non-conscious program to follow along would require teaching it the patterns involved in math and color combination. But because any qualia can be combined with any other qualia, you have infinite patterns that cannot be captured in any training set.

Ultimately what this means is that qualia, creativity, and intelligence are the same thing.

Yup. I have no knowledge of Amazon specifically, but I've seen this pattern repeatedly in companies that use contractors:

"We don't tolerate any lawbreaking, but you need to fulfill these performance metrics (which can't be achieved except by lawbreaking)."

I'm of the opinion that, as a general practice, this needs to be addressed by legislation. I don't know what the specific workable solution looks like, but essentially: if a company contracts work out that any reasonable person could determine would require violating laws or regulations to accomplish, that the company is held directly legally responsible for those violations.
