Nice insightful comment. Can you give a bit additional insight related to when it makes sense to use ES vs Postgres? My takeaway from your comment is that unless your product depends on search as a central component that inbuilt search is good enough. Is that an incorrect takeaway?

You replace x_1, ..., x_k with the mean of those k values, not the mean of all the values.

So you would be replacing the first 3 values with 2 in your example, not 3.5
That's amazing, thank you. It helps to put things to scale - I've tracked that fire on maps and in smoke forecasts, but this makes it 'real' in a more interesting and like you mention, oddly terrifying but beautiful way.
> What do most buyers not want? They don’t want to see all kinds of scary-looking controls surrounding a media player. They don’t want to see a whole bunch of buttons they don’t understand.

Funny. When I first switched from iPhone to Android, I downloaded a podcast player app one day. It has about 9000 knobs, levers and other controls to customize everything you could possibly imagine. Years later, I still have no idea what most of them do. But a few of them have been incredibly useful over the years. Advanced, complicated options that I had to Google or read Reddit threads to understand. Things that I could have survived without, are probably not used by very many people, but for those that do use those features, life is better with them.

Anyway, as soon as I had a cursory glance around the app, I immediately purchased the paid/pro version, not yet even knowing if I'd ever use the app again (at the time I didn't know when I'd even have time to listen to podcasts). These were my people.
This exactly.

Google's PWA agenda (displace native apps with web apps) is in opposition to Apple's (displace web apps with native apps) on iOS.

Apple's business interests are in opposition to PWAs, and Apple would also make the same argument you are citing that native apps offer a better user experience, performance per watt, privacy, security, etc..

However, mobile Safari can support something like Amazon Luna, so it can sidestep the app store to some extent as far as games are concerned.

DeepMind: Generally capable agents emerge from open-ended play
I 100% agree with the central thesis that tests are about evidence-based correctness.

I think keeping this in mind is important as a product and codebase scales since a lot of testing approaches shift in importance over time. The articles sidebar about TDD is a micro-example of this, but there are ones on the order of months/quarters/years that Ive come across as well.

One example is how you likely only want end to end and integration tests early on in a development lifecycle, rather than excessive subsystem tests and mocks. This is because your end to end product experience is likely to change less than the subsystems that implement specific features (eg user auth). Over time, as your subsystems solidify you’ll likely want to reprioritize and keep end to end tests lower in proportion since they take longer to execute. In other words, your test suite should be proportional to the expected requirement changes over time.

Another more out-there example is the disabling of tests over time as test coverage starts to overlap. A lot of tests in a large codebase exercise the same codepaths, and this is usually not a net benefit (it sometimes can be, eg if one test runs really fast vs another more comprehensive one thats slow). So having a way to evaluate whether a test is actionable or useful is something that emerges organically as large codebases begin to change.

What's being lost is the mystery of it all. Instead of happening across this fascinating monolith while out hiking, and it's an interesting story to tell friends in person when they ask about your trip, they were blasted all over Twitter and the rest of the Internet in hours. It reduces conversations to "did you see that thing on Reddit?" "yeah" "k". It's like having a cartography degree in 2021 vs 1491 (no offense to cartography majors). It's the ennui of "there's nothing left to explore, it's all been found already".

It's fair to point out that there's more weird creative energy out there than ever before (Meow Wolf). There's the enraptured wonder of the possibility of exploring an entirely new world (Mars) in our lifetime. There are things gained in today's always-on, connected culture. But don't pretend nothing was lost.

I made a comment about trees, but the other issue is that the map is super asymmetric. The bottom half (radiant) has a generally safer jungle and a very difficult to contest small pull (always been this way. Camp has just changed over time). The top team (dire) has a worse jungle, but it is closer to Roshan. The problem is people don't know how to use Roshan well (either capturing it or using the aegis), so that advantage isn't realized unless the team is at the top levels of the game.

I think the perspective issue is there. But its not the entire 5%

This is one of the worst things about climate science as it currently stands. In General new theories are often looked about with skepticism until an experiment exists to satisfy the majority. Chemists in the early 1800s theorized matter was made of atoms but it wasn't until experiments were developed early 1900s and math worked on by Einstein got the whole community on board. Similarly we are still in a undecided state of what follows Newtonian-> relativism-> quantum mechanics. None are fully right but which is "more" right. each has their set of experiments that have been proven true or false. Climate science has very little proof because in the short time we have studied it most results cannot yet be proven to be correlation or causation. Unfortunately proof may not come for hundreds of years. The current route has been to take hypothesis and spin them as proof. I think the better route would be to split the theoretical and practical of climate change. we may not know for a long time if it is CO2 vs deforestation vs urbanization if we need to fix one or all to stop our impact/ if it will be enough at that point but that is separate from here are the impacts we see and best guess of what we will see in next 40-100 years and what can we possibly do about it. What if einstein chose not to release relativity because he knew it wasn't perfect or we ignored quantum mechanics because of it holes that are just now starting to be understood.

Thank you for the well-informed comment. I have to respectfully disagree that self driving cars are pretty much synonymous with general AI. You remind me that DeepMind just recently said that all we need for AGI is reinforcement learning. And much of what self driving cars do is just reinforcement learning. But I have to say, I don't think it's that simple. Reinforcement learning is just classification with a reward function. Is that all people are, just classifiers with a reward function? I don't think so. And I don't think it's just a god-of-the-gaps argument applied to AI, either. Having worked with all kinds of classifiers and recommendation systems for years, these things just seem like tools that need to be calibrated to me. We can automate a lot of stuff with classifiers, especially 'bullshit jobs' like call centers and movie recommendations and gunshot detection. But there are many tasks for which there is just no training data, or way of incorporating that data into a machine. Basically, some tasks are solved problems, and others are totally unsolvable, and that category is where humans come in. Natural language generation comes to mind. For all the noise about GPT-3 and Copilot, they're not going to be ready for production for a long time until we figure out very complicated issues like RTE/entailment, relevance, long distance coreference, and so on. Separate the hype from the truth and the fact is that there are tons of tasks that will never be automated, like screenwriting or other meaningful communication.

> If a book is too abstract it won't teach anything useful.

Lots of developers are curious about functional programming. Even if you don't program in a functional programming language, many principles of functional programming, such as pure functions, can be applied in any language. Almost all languages in use today, including JavaScript, C#, Java, Python and Rust have varying degrees of FP features. Understanding what FP is all about is helpful in learning those features.

I'd argue that the market for learning what FP is all about, and how you can apply FP features in traditional languages, is bigger than the market for learning specific FP languages such as OCaml, Scala, F# and so on.

It's true there really isn't any proof we have done all of it or how much is from cO2 as to more general urbanization/deforestation; but that should be left to theoretical science and could take hundreds of years to figure out. In meantime does it hurt to make the assumption we are the factor pushing climate over edge and start to prepare methods to deal with it?

You're just moving the privilege from born rich to born talented. It's still going to exclude all the people without that, so it's still going to be unfair.

It's not necessarily better either. Kids of wealthy parents have a lot of work put into developing their capabilities. A lot of their success comes from that investment in their development. You would need to somehow do the same with these poor talented people too. How? Their parents aren't capable. Maybe forced adoption like Australia's "stolen generation"?

I think that from an efficiency point of view, the way it is is best. It takes advantage of the natural desire people have to give their own children an advantage over others. That's a strong incentive. We'll miss some poor talented kids but I don't see any practical way to actually get such a pure meritocracy beyond human rights violations like some kind of Communist Olympic swimmers.

I agree with you about carrots though. They seem to be getting further out of reach.

That's probably a decent takeaway. If full-text search is a "nice to have" (a bonus feature for advanced users, for example) you can probably rely on built-in Postgres search. If search is a fundamental way that users interact with your product, you want to spend the time and money to get it right, and that probably means ElasticSearch and a custom ranking function.
They are charging $75/month for private threads, I understand they need to make money but that's a lot of money for small community servers. I own a support server and was excited for threads as they would allow me to pop out a private chat in the server to handle things rather than speaking in public or direct messaging the person, so this price point sadly makes this feature not very useful to every server I am currently in.
That's right!

I don't think there's such a thing as "unprovoked shark attacks". First, it's called an encounter now, not an attack, and that change is relevant to the question at hand. When sharks hurt people, I think it is typically the people that have invaded the home of the shark (and thus provoked it) and not the other way around (and thus unprovoked). There are no shark attacks when humans are minding their own business on land.
