Developing in a cloud VM is painful in other regards, specifically with regards to IDEs. Basically your options become to use a local IDE, with slow access to your files (not fun when PHPStorm needs to re-index your vendor directory), or to use a cloud IDE (none of which I know of are particularly good for PHP, nor as snappy as running your IDE locally).

Of course, you can just use a text editor instead of an IDE, but once you get used to being able to jump to definitions, get method signature autocompletion, refactoring, syntax checks etc, it's kind of hard to go back to just a text editor.

Greenhouse gases would have been so much better to use than CO2... and the worst common one is methane.

But the oil industry did not want to be associated with it, hence CO2 which makes it seem like the problem is burning coal. It partly is, but not just that.
Another problem is that bind mounts are slow; we put data into volumes if it's accessed often.
When I feel daunted by a repetitive editing task, or intimidated by something I don't know yet...

The repetitive tasks I choose a small number of steps, something I can accomplish in 5, maybe 10 minutes, and plan to stop and do something else for a bit. Read an article, stare out a window at nature, play a couple of minutes of a game. Then I do another set of changes until I start to lose focus and do a brain break. Rinse and repeat.

If I feel like I don't know where to start, I need to learn something, I listen to what the anxiety is screaming and pick out one question that will fill in the next level of knowledge, no matter how silly it sounds. ("Ok, you know <html>, and <head> and <body>... what's the next level in <body>?") Every time my knowledge hoovering starts to falter, I stop and pull out just one next question...

And equivalents for other circumstances, of course. Those are just my most common roadblocks.
Bear, notes etc use undocumented databases as their source of truth, which seriously limits you and locks you in.

I use org-mode with standard unix search solutions, such as the interactive ugrep. On mobile, I use WorkingCopy (a git frontend), or my web front end (https://notes.lilf.ir/), both of which offer search. I can also use emacs via SSH, but I haven’t done that.

Org-mode is, in the end, just a better markdown with a lot of elisp extensions available. You don’t need to know everything about it to start using it. Worst case scenario, write your intended text in some format pandoc understands (e.g., markdown, html), and see how it is converted to org-mode. The IRC channel #org-mode and https://org-roam.discourse.group/ are also helpful.
I'm fairly sure the parent was joking and in full agreement with you. Just so this isn't a point out the joke post, a few years ago I saw a HN post from a bunch of people who used print to PDF, and pdfgrep as a bookmarking solution. It doesn't solve the original problem, but it does act a a coping strategy for when content goes missing. I've been using it for a good while now and it's been real useful already.
Honest question, is the incompleteness theorem ever used for anything?
On the other hand, if we had started years ago regularly arbitrarily shut down the internet for a day, as apparently Syria does, we probably wouldn't have come to rely on the internet for so much basic infrastructure. I doubt buying gas is down in Syria when they shut down the internet.

It's not realistic to think that could have happened in the USA, but it's interesting to think about. As a software engineer who knows how unreliable and vulnerable our software infrastructure is, I don't love how much of society is dependent upon it.
Oculus cannot be used without a Facebook account.

This is true.

But I don't like seeing the same ad over and over again. I don't like seeing ads of stuff that I've already bought and I especially don't like to watch a commercial for the thousandth time for a video I'm not sure even is worth watching.

I can agree that ads are not necessarily bad.

Vector search is where the next leap in search and recommender system improvements will come from.

* Is already coming from. Google, Bing, Spotify, Pinterest, Facebook, etc, already use it in production.

All flavors of ES have some kind of vector search available, albeit with some limitations. There are also stand-alone open-source and managed solutions popping up left and right (I work for one, Pinecone.io).

From what I’m seeing, the hard parts people encounter are:

- Finding or developing good embedding models. I consider KPI testing a part of this process, since it tells you whether or not your models are actually “good.”

- Finding and tuning vector search libraries that can meet speed and accuracy requirements. (Easy if you use ES although you’ll run into latency issues with >10M docs. Even easier with a managed vector search solution.)

- Scaling the above to handle millions (or billions!) of items and high query throughput. Again, less of an issue if you’re using managed ES on AWS or Elastic.co, or a managed vector search solution like Pinecone, or you have a team of distributed systems engineers sitting idle.
It's ok to use logic to prove theorems in logic. We also use thinking to deduce some facts about our thinking. Self-reference is not always paradoxical. In a higher-order logic some self-referential definitions are legitimate.

Inhale MD – DR JORDAN TISHLER [cannabis best practices]
On this episode of Let’s be Blunt, Montel speaks with Dr. Jordan Tishler about the importance of patient safety not being lost in the process of adult use legalization. Dr Tishler graduated from both Harvard College and Harvard Medical School, trained at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and is currently faculty at both the Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School. He has spent many years working with the underserved, particularly providing care for veterans. Having treated countless patients harmed by alcohol and drugs, his observation that he had never seen a cannabis overdose led him to delve deeply into the science of cannabis safety and treatment. He is a frequent speaker and author on a variety of topics related to the medical applications of cannabis, and he is the President of the Association of Cannabis Specialists, which aims to educate clinicians, lawmakers, and the industry about best practices and necessary tools for proper patient care.
Not all pollution even is warming. If you dump tons of microplastics into water, nothing will warm up (compared to burning them) but it would be a different catastrophe.
Heck, creating certain kinds of waste would even prevent global warming, e.g. nuclear - and would do nothing to energy balance.

Hear me out, everyone here is talking about web developers and people who write the language. That’s the least import demographic and most unaffected segment of the user base.

Dropping PHP is irritating because PHP is actually a really good shell scripting language and it’s universal availability on macOS made distributing simple CLI tools for Mac written in PHP as a simple script or a bundled PHAR easy as pie.

I have a decent number of macOS specific tools I distribute as PHP, many 10+ years old, and I can guarantee almost none of my users have any idea what PHP is let alone how to install it.
That's what I was thinking. Having ingress/egress processes in specific zones will definitely help here, while keeping your datastores in EU without any issues of data loss at the edge.

For example, ingress for receiving events in a US zone, those are asynchronously pushed to the EU datastore, and then egress for delivering the events are again in the US zone, transparently pulling data from the EU.

Not sure on your architecture, but just spit balling how you could keep data stored in the EU while temporarily "processing" that data in the US to keep latency low where it matters.
Energy balance is something to worry about on scale of few thousand years, when we start running out of fissible materials and fusion never arrives.

Problem is solar heat being trapped, not running out of energy sources.

Evidence is hard: a double blind randomized control trial would be unrealistic and at a high level there would be innumerable confounders.

However, the mechanism seems simple:

1. Regulation is designed to combat inequality

2. Lower inequality is achieved thanks to this regulation

3. As inequality is lower, fewer people have spare capital for risky investments

Meanwhile, if this mechanism doesn’t work as above, that might imply we don’t (yet) have an effective way to regulate inequality down.

I believe the most important question regarding personal knowledge bases is how to make them social.

In grad school I was for a year part of a small study group. We shared notes, on paper and aloud. It made each of us far, far better at the subject than we could have been on our own. And we were at most 7 people (sometimes only 3).

When developing Hode[1], and when helping develop Semantic Synchrony[2], I imagined some kind of mind-meld utopia where superbeings would not just frolic in but also tend each others' knowledge gardens. (Brandon Toner on Twitter[3] even introduced me to a hashtag for them ... which I can't remember ...)

Reading nonlinearly is a faster way to accumulate knowledge than reading linearly. That's is why people who really care prefer newspapers to watching the news on TV. And a format that lets lots of people contribute their input can potentially convey more than a format that locks you into reading a single author. Alas, the potential for noise is higher too -- but still, this is why Wikipedia has been so wildly successful.

One might ask, "We've already got Wikipedia; what possible improvement on that do you see?" The thing about Wikipedia is it presents what the author(s) consider(s) settled knowledge. It is a place for record, not a place for debate. A good shared knowledge base would by contrast also resemble Twitter -- but more organized, more navigable.

In practice the personal knowledge bases I've seen look much more like silos. I once frolicked for an afternoon through Andy Matuschak's[4], which was quite enjoyable. But it was mostly about ... can you guess? ... how to build a knowledge base.

If someone finds a scheme that scales, I believe it could be much more powerful than what we currently call AI.

How to Improve Decision Making and Cut Cost with Better Data Quality
Not the parent poster, but I do think it's worth putting a finger on what might simply be a cultural gap between modern (and especially fairly plugged-in) Americans and others who either genuinely have not been socialised into the present-day US discourse about race or are deliberately acting defiant about it due to how it conflicts with the framework that they grew up with.

It seems to me that according to present-day American norms, including a remark such as the one that you did is simply considered good form; you show that even if you are not actively working on the great political causes that are being so eloquently argued to be of existential importance by their protagonists every day, you are certainly aware of them, support the good guys and ready to do your part for their cause if it you are in a situation in which you can contribute. Meanwhile, for those who adhere to a framework in which the prescription for making sure historical instances of racism don't repeat is to banish race as a category from human thinking and discourse as far as possible, the very mention of it in a context where there seemed to be no external reason to is gauche in a similar way to if you suddenly started talking about sexual prowess (taking care to insert a parenthetical remark about what you believe about your own). It doesn't seem to me like your explanation of the "why" here is particularly helpful to cross that gap of expectations, either; it only really makes sense if the reader is already primed to assume that describing people as "interesting characters" and unusual people must at least suggest something about race and gender, but from the other side's perspective this is not any less gauche, especially as it might be taken to suggest that what makes those characters "interesting" to you is just a matter of those characteristics.

Even worse, if the culturally remote reader's degree of familiarity with modern US norms is not zero, the one blurb they likely have in mind is something like "the US has a self-admitted racism problem". In that case, a remark such as the one you made might not just register as introducing a topic that is unsuitable for polite conversation, but actually as betraying attitudes that are opposite to what you wished to communicate - imagine if for instance a speaker of the German police, talking about something mundane such as their strategies for fighting pickpockets in Frankfurt, injected a line lamenting the small number of Jews in the force. Indeed, if my read of US society is correct, antisemitism is one context in which the other (older?) version of antiracism norms still survives in it. To get a rough model of how a given post or statement would sound to the cultural outsider, then, you could try to imagine your post with everything mentioning race replaced with analogous remarks along the "Jewish or not Jewish?" axis.

The Chinese space program doesn't get a lot of press, but much like the country itself, they've made stunning progress in a short period of time. It's 18 years from their first manned space flight, and here they are successfully building a modular space station, returning samples from the Moon and landing a rover on Mars. They're experimenting with a SpaceX-style reusable rocket, a Mars sample return mission and are planning to land a man on the Moon by the end of the decade, and unlike NASA's plans, they appear serious about it too.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese_space_program (a mess of current and obsolete programs, but gives some idea of the breadth of their ambitions)

Things will get even more interesting next year if India launches their first manned spaceflight as planned.

The article on the Dutch public broadcaster is extremely neutral and more detailed than I anticipated [1].

Not sure how Russia is related to the Chinese space program, but the coverage of Russian critics is pretty well done, I would say. Not enough maybe.

It goes without saying there can be very little good to report on the Russian government, but let's please not reduce the largest European country to their leadership.
