> The peace of mind in having all your sensitive data under your control is totally worth it.

I used to have some illusions that "if I self host, I am in control", and "if I don't connect my home infra to the internet, I am safe". Later I realized neither is true.

I can't trust all the consumer grade devices in my network, I don't trust a software just because it is open source. And I don't have time to keep up with all the security patches and do security auditing / vulnerability scan routinely...etc.

It is fine to self host hobby stuff for fun, but professionally managing sensitive data is a full time job.
It's basically trading cards to save the whales, yeah. Nothing wrong with abusing the collector attitude to raise money for charity.

Talented people are working on CoreRT, sadly it doesn't seems to be the focus of the product manager, hence my concerns
I don’t have hard facts, but I believe I’ve read that basically the generosity of the American people is largely the same amount as the surplus taxes of Europeans. And in better functioning European countries that money will benefit people much more than animals — so in a way it helps explain the difference in the quality of social nets.
Your concern seems to be about purely speculative changes you think might happen in the future, not about what is actually changing now.
Do you run beta software on production systems? You're answer is most likely no, so why would you put a beta vaccine in your body?

You’re worrying about the wrong thing. In formal settings, the problem will be taken care of.

The bigger problem is informal settings. Propaganda, for one.

I also unironically use kubernetes (in particular, k3s) to run my personal blog. I run it on a colocated server I built myself, with the hope to have a couple colocated servers in the future I could network together. Right now, it has proxmox running a few VMs, 3 of which are for k3s, one for hhd backups, and one for a postgres server (which I am lazy, so am running with Dokku. Makes backups easy). The drives all run ZFS mirrors (2 2tb nvme, 2 8tb hdd)

Honestly, it's a super comfy setup, and very little maintenance. The one thing I have is a master update script that does the docker image upgrading and rollouts. I make updates all the time and pretty much don't think about it. More energy activation than a PaaS like Dokku, but worth in long run, I think.
There are safer vaccines so there is little point in risking this one. That said, it depends on how many future infections people that age face.

If this vaccine is causing at most 4 deaths per million people* vs 648 recorded US covid deaths 15-24 out of a population of 43.5 million. 4 * 43.5 = ~174 < 648. So, it would have been noticeably safer for a random 20 year old American to have taken it Jan 2020 than risk covid. https://knoema.com/atlas/United-States-of-America/topics/Dem...

So if the total future infections are say 1/4 the total infections up to this point then their roughly equivalent risks. Tipping one way or the other based on actual number of infections.

* It’s rare enough that actual risks aren’t clear, but assuming the vaccine is the cause we can assume the risks are at or below that level.

Not true, there’s always far more data in an image than a quick glance can decipher, astronomy field obviously pioneered numerous methodologies over the decades (many of which biologists do more shittyly, speaking as a biologist who did so). In the end I’d argue a lot of these “super resolution” methods are just glorified dexonvolution, not that it’s a knock on these methods but apparently it’s not cool to call deconvolution deconvolution anymore.

Pausing is exactly what is happening here in Norway. And the government is not involved, all these decisions her in Norway have been made by the relevant medical institutions.

Nothing beats just getting down and building something end to end. As you do it more and more, you get better and faster.

I just came up with an analogy of trying to be successful at startup:
Imagine someone who is just born in prehistoric rugged terrain who wants to reach some magical place. You don't know even how to crawl. There is some food and clues all over the place about how to reach the magical place. You have a magic button which can take you to slave house (corporate life). You could potentially come back from Corporate life to the startup life, but you would be bruised and would have picked bad skills which you know needs to forget.

You immediate focus should be gaining skills and pace. You will start by learning to crawl, walk, jump, climb, track your path, get better instincts, find food, look for clues, follow clues.

With more tries, you will get better at these. You will be better at navigating the terrain. You will get better heuristics which will determine your success.

Many time either people looking for a magic solution. This is equivalent to someone in this situation thinking if they can roll downhill and hope to be within crawling space of the magical space. It doesn't work that way. Some people do get lucky but most don't.

Any many times people are procrastinating. Which is like someone waiting at the edge of this magical world figuring out whether to make a plunge.

Just get started. You will figure out along the way. Make sure you have a good plan on health and finances!
Good reminder that in CSS, darkgray is a light gray and gray is a dark gray. Also presumably up is down and wet is dry.
I'm not quite sure what you mean there. Your software certainly should do regular scrubs, but there are a lot of storage systems out there that don't do this. And there most definitely are SSDs that do their own scrub akin to what host software can do.
You can add a version-controlled directory to your PATH and put scripts in it. This can be in the same repository as your .gitconfig. So you can graduate aliases to scripts.
acknowledged. I did some more searching and found several articles where the hospital seemed directly involved.
It’s said in many texts about this (possible) problem, but I don’t understand how serious blood clots and low levels of blood platelets can go together.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Platelet: “Platelets […] are a component of blood whose function […] is to react to bleeding from blood vessel injury by clumping, thereby initiating a blood clot.”

So, I would expect low platelet counts to be associated with excessive bleeding, not excessive clotting (and indeed it is. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thrombocytopenia)

Do most platelets for these patients end up in clots, and is production stopped? Are there other cell types or mechanisms that can cause clotting? Can anybody enlighten me?

It's the same in the village where we live. Everyone carries a torch (or in my case one of those pen-sized maglites). It may not be suitable for central London, but the system seems to work fine round here.
The source material for this does, we have the potential to become a grabby species. In particular though one of the strange things we can observe about the universe is how early we are, relative to how long we expect the universe to last. The grabby idea explains this puzzle pretty nicely by a selection effect: if the universe is going to be grabbed in the future (by us or others), then being early is the only time at all that we could find ourselves with our seemingly natural development history.
That's what I implied on my last sentence. Pattern-oriented tracking.

Interesting. I did submit a bug to Apple about my issue. Mainly because I never did a calibration with my 2017 mbp and the monitor looked great. With the M1 MBA I had to do the advanced calibration just to make the same monitor usable. Otherwise the colors were completely washed out. It almost seemed like the setting to auto-dim the laptop monitor was also being oddly applied to the external.
It depends on 1) what differentiates you from your competitors and 2) where most of your revenue will be coming from.
This is happening in Seattle. You can maybe buy a small condo downtown or on Capitol Hill for a deal right now. But as Seattle is a city of neighborhoods, if you want a house, you're paying 200k over asking price against 10-20 offers right now.
What about WMDs? Where do you suggest we draw the line?
I don't drive much since I'm in New York, but I certainly feel blinded by oncoming traffic whenever I'm in a car outside of the city. SUVs with bright LEDs in oncoming traffic make it super hard to see personally. I don't ever recall that as a problem when I was younger, but maybe it's my aging eyes and more SUVs on the road (I still think it's the LEDs though).
Outrun: Execute local command using processing power of another Linux machine
Sadly we live in a world where distro maintainers don't just package software, they actively patch libraries. And sometimes do things like break OpenSSL's random number generation, thereby compromising every key generated by anyone who depended on the distro-provided OpenSSL instead of bundling their own. Using distro-provided software adds a requirement to trust the distro maintainers, it doesn't mean you only have to trust one entity, it means you still have to trust all the developers and the distro in addition to that!

They then bring up the argument that distros backport security patches to old unsupported versions of software, so that they don't have to upgrade the old unsupported versions to what upstream actively supports. That's a silly thing to do. Just package software. Don't patch it, unless you're forking it and fully maintaining the fork. Not every security vulnerability ends up with a CVE. Sometimes security issues get fixed without noticing that they're security issues, eg they show up as fixes for data corruption bugs. Maintainers only watching the CVE lists won't see these, and will leave users running unpatched outdated software.

I don't know that there are any easy answers here. Source-based distros like Gentoo have a possible way out: building from source means that the build files can be checked for what versions they're using. So things like Cargo which lists all the versions of every dependency for every package in the package's lockfile can be used to check if any package has a vulnerable version automatically. Then the user can be prompted to update. Cargo already has auditing tools to help with this, they just need to be used by the distro. Basically a "dependabot" type solution for installed packages on end user machines. But for languages that don't have such systems (C, C++, etc) the problem is much more difficult.
This puts everything in context.... Visualization is a powerful tool.
Are you even from the "inner city"? Trying to figure out how dumb this interaction was haha.

This is an outright false statement. Many legislators and many activist are in favor of an outright ban. Most know this is anon-starter. They rely on the "death of a 1000 cuts" method instead, where insignificant features are banned or restricted because "nobody cares". In my state, buying a handgun requires a 7 day waiting period. And taking an expensive and time consuming course to obtain an HQL - Handgun Qualifying License. And a background check. And the handgun has to be approved by name on a roster by the legislature.
There's quite a "do what I say, not what I do" about this, creating certificates good enough for other people but unlikely (an understatement) to carry any weight at Google itself.
If you raise a cat from kitten so it doesn't experience negative memories/associations with humans, consistently and empathetically analyze what it wants, and earn it's trust, they will be unbelievably affectionate and attached.

If they meow at you or otherwise try to get your attention, they are trying to communicate something. I used to think they were just being cats doing random useless things like sniffing, pawing or meowing, but nearly every single time there was some scent I needed to deal with, a desire to poop/eat/move or something real that they were trying to communicate. If you consistently ignore their attempts at communication, they will stop trying after a few times (wouldn't you?) unless they're like starving. But if they know you pay attention and respond, they will communicate their wants to you pretty clearly. Nothing they do is random, there is always a reason for it.
Throughput tends to increase with storage density, because more data is stored in the same length of physical track.

Consumer-grade HDDs barely managed 100MB/s 10 years ago. Now they can often do 200MB/s, and enterprise disks are even faster. With these much larger Seagate drives I guess SATA will be the bottleneck, not the drive's sequential read/write speed.

Thanks for the kind response. I kind of expected to get pooped all over for that post. It's not necessarily an easy answer. I left my last cushy job over something most here would consider minor to work for a non-guaranteed income that would be embarrassing for most others in the industry or on this site, but my soul feels much better that now I'm an (albiet insignificant) part of the solution instead of part of the problem. No one snowflake is to blame for the avalanche. On the plus side my work-life balance is far more tilted to the 'life' side of that equation.

The goal over the next few years is to continue to do what I can in all areas of my life. Produce my own food, spend my money as locally as possible. I'm okay if it's not polished for mass consumption or 'regulated' as long as I know who's behind it. I've been buying homemade meals from random strangers on craigslist and Facebook marketplace (my SO hasn't given it up yet, even they haven't posted anything for years). They have been delicious and cheap usually deliver to my house. Unregulated food might scare people, but I've got the runs from grade A inspected places many times over the years so...

Call it what you will. Localism, anti-corporatism, cryptoanarchy, free market, anarcho-capitalism. Labels don't really seem to help much when we're fundamentally all working towards the same end goal. But I think in all cases it's unfair to ask others (including the state) to do something you're unwilling to expend effort attempting yourself because you've given up before you've started.

Be excellent to each other and have a rocking day.
The problem with 'unknown unknowns' is that you can come to whatever conclusion you want, and it's perfectly logical either way.

The 'Dark Forest' model suggests that we should be as quiet and inconspicuous as possible.

But I could also propose what I am calling the 'lumberjack model'. Suppose a lumberjack wishes to cut down all of trees in the forest--but being a sympathetic lumberjack, he avoids felling any trees with a birds nest in them. In that case, the birds should actively be as loud as possible and make their presence known to the lumberjack.

Both models are perfectly logical, but come to opposite conclusions--we simply have no idea whether aliens are more like the predators of the dark forest or the lumberjack.

As for Hanson's theory, it might be that the universe is one giant winner-takes-all system. But I suspect one could also come up with an equally valid theory that concludes something else--and we have no way to discern one over the other.

It's fun to speculate, I am just encouraging extreme caution I'm thinking we have any clue about any of this stuff.
People can grow and have regrets but immediately telling everyone else doing the same thing you were just doing to rot in hell is a little much.
golang (and D I think) have reflection, yet they're AOT languages. The JIT does a tremendous job of yielding strong performance, and in several (or many cases) being dynamic in this sense bears a negligible penalty. These use cases end up with Java being faster than AOT languages for example.

pickle.dump/load is only slow if your main objects has references to many small nested objects: e.g. a large python dicts with million of key values that are small Python str or int objects for instance.

If your main object has only references to a few large sub-objects (e.g. a bunch of multi-MB or GB numpy arrays to store the numerical parameters of a machine learning moodel), then it can be very fast, basically IO-bottlenecked by writing or reading the bytes to/from the disk.
I'd love an explanation of that statement: if it uses iCloud, your data are stored on Apple's servers. Your data may be encrypted, but they are definitely being transferred from/to your devices and iCloud, and being stored there.

I don't have a problem with this, I use iCloud for this purpose myself, but I do believe you are correct to call out this statement.
Seems to be a lot of questions about how bootstrapped startups handle customer support.

I'm the cofounder of Eureka Surveys. We're bootstrapped, profitable, and just crossed 1M+ users. We've had an amazing experience hiring customer support in the Philippines. I have a thread about it on Twitter: https://twitter.com/t0mstah/status/1356296043009253382

The tl;dr is that you can hire cheap ($3.50/hr), high quality virtual assistants from the Philippines to handle customer support for you, all from day one. Having CS has really made a difference for us in our business and is one of our main differentiators as we've scaled up the CS team. DM me on Twitter and I can connect you to some excellent VAs looking for jobs!

>"In physics, the reciprocal lattice represents the Fourier Transform of another lattice..."

[...]

"In normal usage, the initial lattice (whose transform is represented by the reciprocal lattice) is usually a periodic spatial function in real-space and is also known as the direct lattice.

While the direct lattice exists in real-space and is what one would commonly understand as a physical lattice,

the reciprocal lattice exists in

reciprocal space"

PDS: Which brings up the following idea(s):

Speculation (on my part):

There must exist a lattice whose Fourier Transformed version -- is exactly identical to itself.

In other words, an Identity Lattice... (for lack of a better term...)

And of course, the next question after that...

Is there a real-world material, whose crystalline structure, matches that Identity Lattice?

?

And then the next-to-final question:

If so -- then what special properties does that material possess?

?

And the final question:

What are all of the applications of those properties?

?
I am not worried about it this at all. It’s not likely to randomly incriminate a real person.
I am Lolling at the "get-rich-quick scheme" criticism of yours. This project has been in development for 14 years. It is incredible that people don't even care to properly research it, and they blindly choose their favourite bias just to say something.
