Yes, and it's also there to help you now. I think a lot of people in this thread are underappreciating the art of writing.

When you write your thoughts down, you can then read them back to yourself. Then you can see all the flaws and gaps in your thinking. Then you can edit your document to refine your thinking. And if you work on a team, you can then share this best-representation of your thoughts with your colleagues and get their feedback. If you're not doing this then you're almost certainly not creating optimal designs.

Maybe you think this is all overkill, and maybe it is some of the time, but I can't tell you how much stupid code I've read that was written by smart people who weren't thinking clearly.
I strongly recommend that everyone with or without dependents look into disability insurance. You are much more likely to survive an injury or illness and be unable to work, than you are to die.

>notifications disappear by themselves when you unlock the phone

I get a bunch of messages from my friend on Steam, so I tap to read them, but if I tap the wrong way it opens the app instead, makes all the messages disappear, and I have to wait until I get to a place with internet again before I can see what he said.
Maintaining a server is one of the big scary nothings that prevents many from learning the reality of how basic and elementary it actually is. Giving/having the process developers semi-knowledgeable about devOps helps significantly. But it is not hard, and not hard to learn from zero.
Uber is certainly a win in almost all cities - I can count on one hand the times I've had an issue with them (once in Singapore, once in Kenya), and I've used uber far more than legacy cabs (where I can think of all manner of issues - probably 1 in 6 or 1 in 7 journeys)

Uber relies on the drivers underselling themselves though, which isn't good for society, but is great for the individual rider.
Cool post, I've seen shit like that first hand in a telco.

BTW this sort of complain always makes me wonder why companies are so bad at managing incentives.

Good ideas I've seen in the hedge fund industry:

- If your employee gives you shares, you cannot sell them for X years.

- If you're a partner and you're paid dividends, you must reinvest those.

- If you leave, you can't work in the same industry for X years.

There are more examples, but the idea is that it's important to make the long term finances of core stakeholders heavily tied to the long term success of the company itself. If you're not doing that, people will exploit the system sooner or later.
Circadian rhythms is one of the few biological processes that has been well characterized genetically and mechanistically.

If I had to guess there are probably way more genes/DNA elements controlling eye color than genes controlling circadian rhythms.

In some biological systems, just a handful of genes can make a circadian clock. For cyanobacteria, it's literally three proteins (KaiA, KaiB, KaiC) and the robust periodic phenomenon can be reconstituted in a test tube.

For mouse the current paradigm of the circadian clock involves a handful of genes (Figure 6 in their paper).

Randomly picking a gene and disrupting it most likely will not disrupt the circadian rhythm of the animal.

The novel finding in this paper is that they are proposing a new gene, one that does not code for a protein, seems to also regulate the circadian clock. This changes how we think of the circuit that wires the circadian clock.

I am impressed that this study took nine years. One must be deeply interested in the topic to sustain that type of effort for a story. I can imagine many scientists dropping the project long before nine years in search of lower hanging fruit.
> While not signed in to Google (because fck that), every search I do is met with a Google disclaimer I have to tap 3x to reach the bottom and tap once more to "agree" (no idea what I'm agreeing to)

Oh, this drives me nuts - it's every.single.time I open google in a private tab! I mean, they know* that nobody is reading this before hitting "I agree".
You can't. That's why IP addresses are a "foundational internet technology".
> This is completely disingenuous at best, and malicious at worst. This is a perfect example of the boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness [1]. This is just taking advantage of the poor-middle class' inability to pay a larger upfront cost, to extort them for more over a larger period of time.

Self-driving is going to be a service. It'll never be "done". Let's be very clear about this.

So what's actually is happening is Tesla charges you for something it can't give you yet, and something that will require ongoing maintenance i.e. you'd be paying a subscription in the long run again (just wait and see).

VW just starts with the right model from the get go and doesn't set you back $10K on empty promises.

Who is "completely disingenuous" here?

> 190cm (6'3) being a threshold for "manliness", as you say, has no bearing on actual human average sizes and might just be your personal bias showing.

Of course it has no bearing on a actual sizes! That’s why the commenter says “manliness in popular culture” and “self-reported heights”. He’s making the point that lots of men who are slightly shorter than 6 feet will lie and say they are 6 feet tall, and wondering if there is a comparable number in cm.
I do not think the idea of a transpiler will fly. (In the sense the market will not really accept it)

Very interesting, it's the first concrete example of the damage to social cohesion due to covid restrictions I've seen described. It is portrayed in a positive light (I suppose) in the article, though the anecdotal examples I know from real life are rather dark.
100%.

Nearly everyone can do something to reduce their footprint.

We need to encourage more small changes and avoid bashing people for not doing a complete lifestyle redesign straight away.

Just to keep it concrete, there’s huge benefit to reducing meat consumption - and you can still capture a lot of that benefit without going 100% vegan.

The problem I have with discord is that it's kind of similar to facebook - content placed there is elusive, temporary, hidden, non-searchable, non-indexable, non-organized.
It's why I hate FB groups and pages with passion - it's purposely designed to be non-accessible,force to ask same questions and get same answers multiple times, waste your time, such a rotten, hostile abomination...
For me it's similar'ish. My approach is this: I'm a developer but I want to be involved in all deployment related steps and ideally deploy the app from day 1 myself. The latter step is usually underestimated and helps to keep the timeline. On the other hand I learn early on how the app behaves during runtime on a real environment and can take precautions that maintenance on application level is almost only needed when deploying.

A dedicated Ops team is nice when it's limited on the application level to very basic tasks like just restarting the service. If the services are not under-provisioned and have a properly set up process/app orchestration in place this is actually a non-task... Under these conditions I don't mind being on-call every now and then or even all the time if done right.
Counterpoint: a friend in Brooklyn was mugged for only around $10 but almost immediately after ran into street police on patrol. They jumped in the car with him and summoned other local cars to catch the robbers successfully.

The police want to catch the bad guys too, but after 8 hrs has passed, it becomes virtually impossible to succeed.
I have have been introduced to many of Alexander’s ideas through this series of lectures on architecture and urbanism by Nikos Salingaros [1]. Mind bending stuff.

I might be missing something, but wasn't it part of the plan? Of course the goal was to offload the actual interpretation of the FLoC id to third-parties, as FLoC id themselves do not have any semantic signification.

Not saying this is ok, but this was the plan from the beginning, being able to offload responsability far from Google. This article[1] actually shows what it's like for an advertiser.

Except that many FB friends aren't really friends. We don't have a word for "People we don't talk to about anything important but who also enjoy cat videos."

If we did, that's where FB would live. It's a kind of friendship surrogacy - noisy and occasionally entertaining, but facile and shallow.

And that's the definitive effect of ad tech. It makes everything facile and shallow.

Politics becomes polarised and infantile and hostile to nuance. Social interactions become gamified ("Follow me and I'll follow you back to help both of us reach 1,000/10,000/100,000/millions!") Clicking Like becomes a displacement activity which avoids real political change. Relationships become performative. Businesses become all about engagement and persuasion - using the same old template of techniques and page designs - and not about social value.

I think it's naive to expect Apple to push against this, because Apple are part of the problem. Apple World is a shiny place which includes exactly the correct number of minorities and age demographics all living the officially approved clean, smiling, sunny, fit, healthy, efficiently organised, and brightly decorated middle class consumer lifestyle that Apple products try to personify.

This isn't even about technology. FAANG (and Microsoft) have created a shockingly undiverse collection of overlapping online worlds which define too many elements of work time and personal space - and all with a 1950s tone of optimised conformist consumption, mandated self-improvement, and transactional time trading.
It did, which is kind of hilarious in hindsight because he kept saying “we can’t just dig our way to lower prices”, and they had no idea that some Texan would invent fracking…
With services in particular you indeed don't need one.

No need to ensure the software is up-to-date, no worries about hardware outages, no need to monitor the system, etc. etc.

The person working with a rented service infrastructure can focus on what makes them money: the process.

With self-owned hardware you need contingency plans, setup, maintenance, redundant ISPs, UPS, extra electrical setup (many offices automatically turn off power to all outlets after office hours to safe electricity and reduce the risk of fires), and much more depending on the required tasks and their importance.

If you want to know what happens if you cheap out on that because "it just works" anyway once it's been set up and operated by an underqualified and overworked person, look no further than the recent ransomware incidents.

Some of them could've been easily avoided had the IT infrastructure been up to snuff. Way too many businesses and public entities still treat IT as a necessary evil that can be handled casually, not realising their dependence on it.

The specifics differ on a case-to-case basis, but in general it's a terrible idea for a small non-IT business to operate their own IT infrastructure. The solution doesn't have to be "cloud" or SaaS either. Hiring a competent 3rd party to deal with the specific implementation and operation for you is just as good even said party is "Bob's Business IT Services" and not AWS or Microsoft Azure.
Selenium is still very flaky. We have almost zero problems with playwright except where we made the mistake. On the other hand, we get all sorts of weird glitches with Selenium and often have to re-run tests for them to pass with no other changes.
In my opinion? Actually offer reparation, or just don't bother. Blow hot or blow cold, but lukewarmness disgusts me.

As I just said elsewhere in the comments, it's similar to having a company wrong you and then offer an out-of-court settlement. Offering settlements like that is most often a way to buy silence and dodge the actual work that goes into making amends (of which money is the least part).

"We know we wronged you but oh no [our PR/our stock/other possible claims/the cost of possibly having to change our processes so it doesn't happen again]" is insulting enough when it's only coming from a company that screwed you over materially; it's so much worse when it's an attempted apology for actual genocide.

An example I'd consider reasonably well done (if understandably contentious then and even now) would be the reparations for the Holocaust. Note how it wasn't just throwing money at the problem to assuage guilt, but also an entire nation re-assessing itself, its past and its future (see: vergangenheitsbewältigung).
i think part of what they are saying is that your approach is wrong, (e.g. looking for then copying submodules within intelligence won't generalize),

trying to answer specific questions won't generalize,

but if you train a network with the right potentially hacky series of rewards/rich enough environment you could get a much more general intelligence

Feel the same. I do not like to be on-call. In the first stages of a job interview I always ask if on-call is required, and if so I politely decline.

Edit: I'm talking about being on-call outside of business hours. I have no problem being on-call 9-5.
That is not creativity, that is just wanting to do things your specific way, which is a way most people do not really prefer.

Oh certainly if you want some beefy server with graphics cards, tons of memory etc, running 24/7, it's probably cheaper to co-locate. A g3s.xlarge costs $13k for 3 years with amazon, I suspect kitting your own server out and hiring 1U of space and a 1G internet access port would be much cheaper over the 3 year contract and not run into nasty bandwidth surprises.

The benefit of AWS-style comes in at

1) Flexibile workflows (I need the grunt on mondays, but not the rest of the week)

2) Tiny workflows (I just want a couple of $5/month VMs in different cities and some DNS to host a couple of toys)

Now if you have the $8/hour self drive, that's great if you use it once a year on a 10 hour trip to a holiday destination. It's awful if you use it for 2 hours a day.

1. Make sure you are charging them 5-10x the usual cost you would charge. For on premise, anything under 50K USD per year Minimum is not useful in my opinion.

2. Setup custom contract and SLA. Dont go with usual SLA. Charge additional for support/maintenance/Stricter SLA.

3. Charge implementation fee upfront. Possibly send consultants onsite and bill them good for that.

4. Do min 3 year contract. Anything less won't be worth it if decide to pull the plug on you after year 1.

Year 1 Cost should be close to 80-100K min.

Even with all this, decide if it is worth doing for you as a company. Yes you could earn good revenue but it is 1 customer. If you don't have the infrastructure/resources to handle their demand, is or worth it for you ?

But no matter what, Do not cave in and offer on premises at similar rates. Has to be at least 5-10x.
If one converts unused 15MW hydroelectric power in Canada to bitcoin, and sends the bitcoin elsewhere, say Japan, couldn't one then buy ~ 15MW of energy? I think that's the sense people mean when they say its a store of energy.

However, I'm not sure that's any different than saying that money (in general, not just bitcoin) is a store of energy. The difference here may be that the remote hydroelectric in Canada may not have had market demand for 15MW extra, thus it would have been wasted had it not been converted into bitcoin; that's something not all traditional moneys can do.
We seriously need legislation to curb this bullshit.
So the hourly fee is only on the surcharge? And one still needs to pay for the car?

Or if the car costs 20k, plus 10k surcharge it is more like 13 years until the rent reaches the price. Also what about insurance and maintainence?
It depends exactly what you mean by performance testing. The problem with a lot of UI tests is that you might need to add artificial slowness to make the tests more likely to pass. Even waiting for something to appear can take longer than it would in a browser. If you want a basic number to see regression, sure you can use this.

If you want to get a sense of how far the system can scale, you would be better with a proper performance testing framework that can run multiple threads, ideally from multiple locations (to avoid any network limits) and built-in support for accurate timing. Apache Bench is pretty common and relatively easy to setup and use. There is also JMeter and even SaaS services to do it for you.
More like "New thing works exactly as .... advertized"

There is a fundamental tension between me wanting to walk around the world as a free human individuum and a large group of people who for some reason or another want to know exactly what kind of fart I prefer so that they may match me with the correct kind of fart-cushion so that I might buy it.

The idea that I might not want to have a fart cusion in the first place, and If I fancied the idea of getting one, I might go to the fart cusion store to find the perfect fart cushion does not seem to occur to these people - I am sure technically they have thought of the possibility, but they do not respect me or my boundaries.

What this "new thing" does, is manage my suspected fart-cusion preferences inside my browser, instead of some "cloud" to then tell fart-cusion-selling-enthusiasts that indeed, I might be one of these people with an interest in fart-cusions.

This "new thing" doesn't change anything about the fundamental issue that my thoughts and aspirations as a fart enthusiast are not the business of any moron who want's to market their newest fart-cushion invention to me.

Yes, of course it has a lot to do with information hygiene. We need to be more particular about what we let into our minds, we just don't have the tradition for it yet.

Browsing facebook is more like taking a walk in a dystopian junkyard than a forest, and a sign by Apple saying "you might be browsing a junkyard" would just add to this dystopia. This is why the proposal is to design better spaces for mindless browsing, since we apparently need it.

Better get used to it; the police receive a lot of flak, left and right. Sometimes warranted, sometimes not. The are also people in who's interest it is that the population distrusts the police. Crooks, obviously. But also conspiracy theorists, foreign agents, etc. The trick is to still listen to constructive criticism while listening and empathizing to negative criticism.

Great. Now my car does not even belong to me (same as my phone, damn you Steve Jobs).

A subscription fee to update the map I could understand. A subscription fee to be notified of real time event (and have the car automatically chose the fastest route) I can also understand. But for driving itself? No way. That thing has to be done locally for latency reasons, subscription is just dishonest for this one.
