The UK, like the US has pronounced wage differences between regions, but unlike the US we're all in the same timezone. As a result you now get significantly better London wages being offered to northern workers, combined with the cluster that is IR35, brexit and increased demand for these skills from CoVid. Perfect storm of demand surges, supply contracts, wages go up.

Absolutely. It is worth noting that Tesla was experiencing "production hell" at the time, so obviously Musk was under a ton of stress. That doesn't excuse the behavior, but does make it easier to understand. Frankly, Musk should have kept out of the whole thing, but staying silent isn't the style that anyone operating at that level is going to have.

Asking his team to build a sub is inexcusable. Still love his product, despite the distraction.
The problem is that exists comes to mean something technical that doesn't match common usage.

Let's take my favorite example.

In graph theory, a minor of a graph is a graph you can get by removing vertices, removing edges, or by replacing an edge-vertex-edge triple with a single edge. Many categories of graphs are closed under the act of taking minors. For example planar graphs, graphs you can draw on the plane with no crossings, are.

The category of planar graphs is entirely described by the fact that any graph that isn't planar must have either K5 or K3,3 as minors. That is, a graph with 5 vertices, all connected. Or a graph with 2 groups of 3 vertices, that all connect to each other. Therefore we call those two graphs the "forbidden minors" for planar graphs.

The Robertson–Seymour theorem says that any category of graphs which is closed under graph minors has a similar description. There is a finite list of forbidden minors which, if none are minors of a given graph, then that graph is in the category.

Since there is a polynomial time algorithm to detect whether a given graph is a minor of another, this immediately means any category of graphs closed under taking minors must have a polynomial time algorithm to test for membership. Just test each forbidden minor.

So far this is straightforward, but here is where things get weird.

The first catch is that the Robertson–Seymour theorem is non-constructive. That is, it says that the list exists and is finite. But it does not bound the number. It does not give us a way to find those minors. It does not give us any way to determine whether we have a complete list. For example we know of thousands of minimal forbidden minors for graphs that can be drawn on a torus, and do not know if our list is complete.

The second catch is that we know that none of those things are possible to do. That is, there are collections of categories of such graphs such that we can prove that no algorithm can bound the number, no algorithm can search for those examples, and no algorithm can verify that a list of forbidden minors is complete.

In what sense does a finite thing that is unfindable, unverifiable, and of unknowable size actually exist? And, if you think that it exists, in what sense is something of unboundable size actually finite?

I find that there are very few things related to programming that don't constitute an interface in some way, so it feels natural to me to think about everything in terms of the interface it presents to users, both explicitly in what you can express via whatever language you're using, and implicitly via conditions that can't be enforced but are required for correctness.

And when you have an interface, you really ought to put some thought into its design regardless of how "private" it is.

An API is an interface used by a program in some way, and any user-exposed database objects definitely qualify under that definition.

> If you allow one to be a prime number, then you can no longer say that each natural number has a unique prime factorization.

I don't dispute that, by definition, 1 is not prime, but I don't see how this statement would follow if we considered it prime.

Edit: it seems more like it would be that every factorization would implicitly have 1^n tacked onto it, and while that isn't exactly useful, it doesn't break the game.

government can arbitrarily shut down your office for several months

Not arbitrary. Based on evidence that COVID19 is airborne, and that standard office/business filters were insufficient to filter out the virus, most indoor businesses were closed down to limit the spread except those deemed "essential."

There are a number of states that managed to keep schools, restaurants, and barbershops open without having worse outcomes than California did.

That's not true at all. On a per capita basis, those states ended up having significantly higher infection rates and death rates.

> "Computers also aren't really all that much cheaper now either."

Depends on how you define "cheaper computers". Over the years, $1000 home computer is consistently far more powerful with far more storage, memory, and features than that same $1000 would have bought you the year before. We also now have nifty toys like the single board computer market (Raspberry Pi, etc) weighing in at the $5-50 USD price range on average, and smart-phones in a wide range of prices (which are basically just a "pocket computer") far more powerful than entire desktop systems of decades past.

> Housing(ownership especially) and education are actually things that underpin so many other societal problems that we as a country should have never allowed lax interest rate policy and Chinese investors / flippers to drive prices so far beyond any semblance of rationality.

Must agree with these points pretty much entirely though…
I did the approach with nesting jsonb_agg queries, it worked for me but was a bit hacky and sometimes complex. I hoped for Graph Query Language (the one supposed to be part of SQL standard) to make it easier to retrieve structred json from flat tables, but it doesn't look ready yet.

>A disturbing thing is that the architecture is much less novel than I originally thought it would be, so this shows perhaps one of the major difficulties was having the resources to try different things on a massive set of multiple alignments.

A similar concern has sparked some worries about "AI overhang" https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/75dnjiD8kv2khe9eQ/measuring-...

Most of the compute in ML research seems to be going into architecture search. Once the architecture is found, training and net finetuning/transfer learning is comparatively cheap, and then inference is cheaper still. This implies we could see 10-100x gains in AI algorithms using today's hardware, or sudden surprising appearance of AI dominance in an unexpected field. (Object grasping in unstructured environments? Art synthesis?) A task could go from totally impossible to trivial in a year. In retrospect, the EfficientNet scaling graph should have alarmed more people than it did: https://learnopencv.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Efficient...

Waymo has been puttering along for years, not announcing much of interest. This may have caused some complacency about self-driving cars, which is a mistake. Algorithms only get better, while humans stay the same. Once Waymo can replace some human drivers some of the time, things will start changing very quickly.

I genuinely don't get how you can rely primarily on unit tests to prevent regressions in your code. They are at such a fine granularity that most significant changes require restructuring the "units" in a way that invalidates the tests. Then we're left with these aenemic E2E tests (because fast!) that only tell you if something basic is broken.

These CD advocates seem to be saying that you can take human out of the testing equation and rely solely on automation. I just don't buy it.

I haven't seen true continuous delivery in the wild and I'm starting to think this is just the empty promises of a club of consultants who peddle their wares to unsuspecting VPs. Tell me what I'm missing.
The Intel compiler(s) -- I don't know whether ifort and icc are really distinct -- may produce better code than GCC, and vice versa. The bottom line I got for a set of Fortran benchmarks on SKX was essentially a tie with options as similar as I could make them. (It's a set that seemed to be used for marketing proprietary compilers.)
If icc is as reliable as ifort, I wouldn't want to build my OS with it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sverdlovsk_anthrax_leak

>
On 2 April 1979, spores of Bacillus anthracis (the causative agent of anthrax) were accidentally released from a Soviet military research facility in the city of Sverdlovsk, Russia (now Yekaterinburg). The ensuing outbreak of the disease resulted in the deaths of at least 66 people, although the exact number of victims remains unknown. The cause of the outbreak was denied for years by the Soviet authorities, which blamed the deaths on consumption of tainted meat from the area, and subcutaneous exposure due to butchers handling the tainted meat. All medical records of the victims were removed to hide serious violations of the Biological Weapons Convention that had come in effect in 1975. The accident is sometimes referred to as "biological Chernobyl".
> 1. Fedora is not a rolling release, so you don't get every single kernel point release like you do in Arch.

Fedora rolls the kernel. I'm on Fedora 33 (a full release behind), and yet I still have kernel 5.12.15, the exact same as Arch currently has. I don't have any custom repos configured.

On rare occasions Fedora even gets new kernels faster than Arch, but usually it's less than a week behind.

>2. Steam does not want to do a full Fedora 30 to 31 upgrade every six months. They want to roll. It's a better model, especially when kernel/drivers are improving gaming quickly.

Fedora gets constant Mesa updates as well, it's not pinned. Admittedly it's 2 months behind Arch (21.0 vs 21.1)

Is it irrelevant? As another thread mentioned, how long you can provide that power for that for and how fast you can replenish capacity seems relevant for its usefulness buffering solar for after hours.

I'm thinking more "association" than "learning", and in both cases.

If an algorithm of some sort scans a bunch of repos regarding video encoding and decoding and sees a lot of ffmpeg use, it might associate ffmpeg with video encoding and decoding, and decide to present some info about ffmpeg and a generic snippet to include ffmpeg as a library and initialize it if it associates the current project with that.

If I have perused a few encoding or decoding repos at some point and I think of the current project as having to do with encoding or decoding of video, I might immediately think ffmpeg even if I've never used it in a project as a library because I remembered seeing it in projects that used it, and look for some initialization code.

In what ways are these materially different? What makes the random conceptual associations in my head from what I've seen previously different than an algorithm that collects the same?

> Training models is more analogous to compilation or lossy encoding or compression.

And learning in people isn't? Isn't all knowledge transference in people analogous to lossy encoding and compression?

I don't know about you, but in college I don't remember regurgitating sections of "Advanced Programming in the UNIX Environment" to complete assignments, I remember studying it, internalizing parts of it on a conceptual level (as well as remembering specific fairly small chunks almost exactly), and using that to solve problems or answer questions or make associations.

I'm not saying ML and and learning in humans is the same. I do think for the very specific case presented here in how it's used, there are some parallels. Feel free to disabuse me of that notion if you have evidence that contradicts it though. I'm not wedded to that position, but I would want to see arguments to the contrary before abandoning it.
Drop them. If some corporate cog thinks having you on a speed dial 27/7 is a good idea, just because they pay, you definitely don't want them as clients.

I would argue with profiteering as a concept because it is so ill-defined. There is no agreement on what is "excessive profit" for one it is a matter of opinion cast as ironclad fact.

The mathematical implications also can get quite silly - if you get overpaid for manufacturing guns but are awful in efficiency and but well financed and don't break even you cannot be accused of profiteering.

The underlying issues are far more nuanced than that. In fact, it has little (if any) to do with manual labor competence and/or liability risk; if you can be trained then you can be summarily replaced, and the risk is hardly a support contractor's prerogative to assume.

The root cause of these issues (as I see it) is almost entirely traceable to tech data availability/quality, commercial influence on DFARS data rights language, and the acquisition games being played (of which the general public only every catches superficial wind surrounding ACAT I programs).
I was impressed by that too. It is a very valuable skill, to be able to build a UI prototype that quickly. The author attributes it to Clojure and there is certainly truth in that, but given he also basically learned a new programming language in a day and got a decent rating on his solution makes me think it is not just the tool. For one, this is a smart and skillful programmer. But it also takes a playful mindset and training to be able to do this.
technically you will use an infintesimally small real number approaching 0%...
Passive investing isn't zero sum - it's positive sum. If you could buy a fraction of earnings from every business in the economy (i.e. both businesses that currently exist, and future businesses that are founded in the future), then you get a rate of return that is roughly the growth in GDP.

Concentrated portfolios are also positive-sum, and have returns higher than passive investing if you are smart or lucky.

What are you precisely referring to with "packages drift from each other"? Stable distros like Ubuntu (and I suppose Debian) don't do release updates at all, only critical/security fixes only. Only some software has special treatment (browsers first of all) and get full updates.
I think we both know that just because Google has a website about something, doesn't necessarily mean that they invest time, resources and organizational will into making it succesful.

Like I replied to the other poster, you are confusing value and wealth.

Let's say a company makes food. It costs them $2 to make and they sell it for $5. You buy it and eat it. Are you now wealthier? No. Your wealth actually decreased $5. Why would you enter this transaction if it made you less wealthy? Well because the food has some utility for you. You buy things when you get more "utility" than your money is "valued". But at the end of the transaction, you are not worth more.

On the other hand, the company's wealth increased $3. We call this increase in wealth "profit". It's the whole point of a business, and they extracted it from you. An exchange of goods and money occurred. Your wealth decreased, while their wealth increased. Is that not extracting wealth from you?
Yes, that is what I meant. Thank you for expressing it more clearly!
Hmmm…somebody named “chow” faking something…why is that not surprising?

Totally agree. To that end, I'd like to propose a new inverse model for advertising in America where every consumer gets to sell airtime on their eyeballs. Each time an advertiser wants to promote something to me, I get to charge them a fee — aprice that's set by me. Henceforth, every advertiser who wants to stick their ad in my face must pay for the privilege to do so.

Now that Near Field Comm has arrived and active invasive advertising soon is likely follow us everywhere we go, it's time we consumers reasserted ourselves and took back control of our eyeballs.

I don't think "space" is a short term solution in the slightest. It's more an eventual, partial solution.
