Are you on an internal ML platform team? We'd love to know if self-service (for data scientists), multi-tenant model -> container image builds are a pain point for you.

I was lucky enough to be involved in the creation of https://chassis.ml/ - which we're open sourcing today! Basically, it solves the problem of "how do you get your MLflow models into KFServing" - and in the process solved some interesting problems around doing rootless image builds in a multi-tenant K8s cluster.

In other words Chassis is an API server which muxes between MLflow models, k8s jobs + kaniko, KFServing + Modzy APIs, with a Python SDK on top for data scientists to drive it.

Test drive! https://chassis.ml/#test-drive

More broadly, we're working on a standard for making model serving more portable, so you can "build once, run many" i.e. build container images that run in a variety of different platforms, to avoid lock-in: https://openmodel.ml/

Except the little detail that pisses off termux guys, neither Linux kernel nor POSIX compliance are part of public Android userspace APIs.

Zombo does at least promise to handle "complex reindexing processes" for you (which IME can be very painful) but yeah, I assume you'd still have to deal with shard rebalancing, hardware issues, network failures or latency between postgres and elastic, etc etc.

The performance and cost implications of Zombo are more salient tradeoffs in my mind – if you want to index one of the main tables in your app, you'll have to wait for a network roundtrip and a multi-node write consensus on every update (~150ms or more[0]), you can't `CREATE INDEX CONCURRENTLY`, etc.

All that said, IMO the fact that Zombo exists makes it easier to pitch "hey lets just build search with postgres for now and if we ever need ES's features, we can easily port it to Zombo without rearchitecting our product".

This looks great. I'll add it to my list of 100 MOOCs I'd love to do but realistically will never get past the first session.
I don't hate this idea, but GP already added 3.5 - 4 hours to their trip just in charging. You really do have to start taking this stuff into account.

I visit my parents who are ~200 miles away several times a year. The drive, during the day, averages 4 - 4.5 hours without stopping. At night it can come down to about 3 hours, but that's not always practical or - if I'm too tired - safe.

Factoring in a charge along the way, assuming everything works, and I don't need to queue for a charger, would add 30 - 45 minutes. I'd have to do this because my parents live in a flat with no charging facilities onsite.

Fuel efficient driving might add another 30 - 60 minutes to the journey, so suddenly we're into maybe a 5 - 6 hour drive each way even for the night driving option. Bearing in mind I'm often only able to go and visit them for a weekend, and that's a lot of time being sucked up just getting there and back.

Shoddy charging infrastructure here in the UK is one of the main reasons I went plug-in hybrid in the end. I can charge at home overnight and do the journey to the office and back (not that I'm doing that very often) on electricity alone, and then the petrol engine is good for longer trips. Also, the car's pretty quick in "power" mode because it uses both electric and petrol together.

(I'd also observe that fuel efficient driving can be aggravating for other road users and may not be practical or safe on some types/classifications of road.)
Two is routinely enough to issue one of those "might"s when there's a plausible mechanism (in this case, the virus is known to cause swelling in other tissue and swelling is known to restrict blood flow in some tissue).
I think all the stuff you describe about charisma is absolutely true in the creative mode of generating value, but there is also an extractive mode of generating value for which I absolutely think deepfakes could be very effective. Once an actor establishes an audience (generally through the creative mode you describe), there is still an opportunity to extract as much value as possible from the remaining good will of the fan base. This already happens with famous actors producing cheap and unpopular movies that seem to only exist to put that actor’s name and face on the poster.
Managed or refereed? Ahh, team dynamics...

I had a manager in one of my first jobs tell me to always have a hard discussion in person, if you can, because "there are eyes". It stuck with me then, and it makes more sense all the time.

You definitely miss some important indicators being on Slack all day.

Many probably don't realize (yet) that there's a difference between working with people in the office then being remote and just being remote.

If you've spent some time with somebody, it's easier to assume tone and intent behind something that may seem hostile in isolation.

Why CISA’s China Cyberattack Playbook Is Worthy of Your Attention
> with complete disregard on how the stock market might react.

I personally regard this as a positive fact, and I'm generally against the policies of the current Chinese authorities. The stock market should not be the be-all and end-all of our modern society.
who are the share holders? Retail investors? Has China ever cared about retail investors?

Or does this regulation lower the price so institutional investors get a discount?
My experience has been that sorting by relevance ranking is quite expensive. I looked into this a bit and found https://github.com/postgrespro/rum (and some earlier slide decks about it) that explains why the GIN index type can't support searching and ranking itself (meaning you need to do heap scans for ranking). This is especially problematic if your users routinely do searches that match a lot of documents and you only want to show the top X results.

Edit: if any of the Crunchy Data people are reading this: support for RUM indexes would be super cool to have in your managed service.

I can see memory challenged, but not privacy conscious.

The big problem from my perspective is in the user experience. On my first visit to a site, they ask me if I want notifications. It's my first visit, I know nothing about the site. Why would I say yes? Later, if I had changed my mind, I might want to, although in most cases, I'd rather just use an RSS feed and get updates when it's convenient for me rather than for them. I have yet to encounter the scenario where website notifications are better than old-school RSS.

On the privacy front? I don't see how this helps in any way with privacy. It seems like it would be more likely to be a privacy nightmare than a privacy boon.
Bernie Madoff's ponzi scheme started at least as early as 1991 and he was arrested 17 years later in 2008. So I guess these scams can go on quite a while.
> It’s kind of sad that society has become so litigious that even compliments are dangerous.

Can you cite a case demonstrating that compliments are dangerous? Or was the training perhaps a product of the bubble-of-safety cargo cult HR cycle where there is a real behavior that us established as dangerous, this accurate information enters conventional wisdom, then to create a zone of safety around the dangerous area people are trained that the not only the dangerous behavior but other behaviors that bear some similarity are to be avoided, this becomes conventional wisdom of dangerous behavior, then to create a zone of safety people are trained that additional behaviors similar to those from the previous cycle are to be avoided, etc.
The problem I think is largely due to lack of checks-and-balances. In the office you have investors who can apply pressure to management, who apply pressure to developers and hold them to a schedule; the lack of peer reviews (potentially) and transparency on the implementation are a problem too.

In the end, what is to stop the developers from walking away? They stand to lose nothing.

I think these platforms need to add legally binding contracts that will force developers to deliver or else they owe a large percentage of the money back (something like that).
Yes, but i found it kind of funny.

I think that may be part of the point. In matters of state, in China, markets react to policy not the other way around. In the west markets direct policy through a kind of indirect or virtual parliament.

Whether China's approach is wise or not...I don't know.

The reason to population numbers and trends are important is to work out what's happening in the population, and therefore plan for dealing with changes in case load. Measuring current pressure on the NHS is important yes, but knowing that cases in the population are rising or not, and if so by how much, is also vital information for resource planning.

Having said that, clearly the tests are being recalibrated and their usage adjusted as new information becomes available. These adjustments in tests seem to have increased accuracy. Isn't that what we want? There's no conspiracy or scandal here.

It's bad because the "stock market" that people focus on are typically indices of only the largest companies, such as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq. If the concern is around performance of these particular indices, it can lead to more policies that favor large business at the expense of the small.
"The fact that Copilot is trained on publicly available code, under a variety of licenses, has led to many discussions about its legal implications."

Now that is a fascinating thought: unless Copilot is open source under a GPL then it shouldn't even take GPL code into account in it's base of knowledge because doing so would be to incorporate copy-left code in a non-copyleft product. I realize the underlying GPL code isn't in Copilot, but Copilot doesn't work correctly/as advertised without it, which seems like the code is included.

I wonder if Copilot will have to be forced to select a license compatibility mode in the (near?) future.
I think they do it because information (and control over that information) is more valuable to them in the long run than whatever economic/financial gains they might sacrifice.
My point, that I should have couched in less snark, is that the ONLY thing that 3D printers have are the X, Y, and Z axes. The Z axis is also way too slow for a PNP. While it seems on the surface to be a good starting place, it’s maybe 10% of the way there and after adding feeders, computer vision, and all these other things, now all you have is a pick and place built on an unsuitable platform and you’ve saved essentially negligible amounts of time or money.

I mean to say that a toaster and a blender are not that much closer to being a good starting platform than a 3D printer as a fraction of the total design of the machine. It’s superficial.

Another weird trend I picked up reading France reports on the pandemic is that non-Covid nosocomial infections decreased significantly during the pandemic.[1] As if Covid took over antibiotic resistant bacteria (a little) and other infections (a lot).

There is no definite explanation, but mistaking other diseases for Covid is one hypothesis, along with anti-covid rules affecting other diseases.

Edit: I don't know why the downvotes (no problem with that), but in case someone thinks it is a conspiracy theory of some kind, Santé publique is an official agency tied to the french ministry of health. The conclusion is of course up to debate but you are unlikely to find better data.
Not at all. On Android you've had the ability to mute notifications by type for some time now. Every app that spams me gets its "ad group" notification group muted. I hear that iOS 15 is going to include something similar.
WeChat registration was a fascinating experience. You download the app and then someone who is already in the system has to verify you via QR code scan. That's how it was when I visited a couple years ago, at least.
There's enough private healthcare interests with links to the Conservative Party to at least make it worth raising an eyebrow in my opinion. I'm not making any specific allegations but it wouldn't be the first time Conservative Party ministers got in bed with private interests, the PPE scandal of last year comes to mind for example.

You're right of course though, passive incompetence is probably more likely than active malice.

My understanding of farming is closer to yours. Farming in order to afford property tax, healthcare, college tuition, retirement savings, mortgage, and your own costs in crops, livestock, or tools is hellish and terrifying. If those costs are substantially reduced so you don't have to scale your farm to an incredible level in order to avoid eviction and poverty, farming as your main profession becomes a more achievable goal.
This is anecdote, not proper feedback, since I wasn't directly involved in the topic.

My company relied on PG as its search engine and everything went well from POC to production. After a few years of production and new clients requiring volumes of data an order of magnitude above our comfort zone, things went south pretty fast.

Not many months later but many sweaty weeks of engineering after, we switched to ES and we're not looking back.

tl;dr; even with great DB engineers (which we had), I'd suggest that scale is a strong limiting factor on this feature.

On the other hand, it seems that all the monarchs of this time basically treated their land as their inherited, God-given wealth. So in that respect, Peter and practically all others were extremely ego-centric and shallow. Modernization did not extend to democratization.

Fertility rate and population growth aren't the same thing.

Population growth is also influenced by life expectancy and immigration/emmigration.

I can also assure you that population growth trends are NOT the same everywhere. The West is approaching a new equilibrium, but places like Africa are still seeing tons of growth. I really encourage everyone to look up Hans Rosling on youtube. His lectures are highly informative and easy to follow.

I haven't checked this as the full data the article was based on wasn't given in the article, but it wouldn't make much sense to count out-patients as part of the covid hospitalisation statistics, so I imagine that the word "hospitalisation" means in-patients specifically i.e. people who are sick enough to stay in a bed in a ward for a night or more, so things like pink-eye, fractures, even child birth (without complications) wouldn't count.
Absolutely not. Mobile operating systems (including those for laptops) should be tuned for maximising battery life.

Or provide profiles for different power situations.
Tinkerstellar works beautifully with hardware keyboards and trackpads, but you certainly don't need one to use the app. Labs already have all the necessary code in them — so you can simply run it and see what each code snippet does. But you can also edit the code and see how output changes, and the stock on-screen keyboard should work well for that (I've added an extra row of Python specific keys to it, btw).

To be fair retail investors shouldn't do that with their savings anyway (I mean, savings meant for old age or for the children's education).

It definitely is a bash feature. From the bash manpage:

Bash handles several filenames specially when they are used in redirections, as described in the following table. If the operating system on which bash is running provides these spe‐
cial files, bash will use them; otherwise it will emulate them internally with the behavior described below.

/dev/fd/fd
If fd is a valid integer, file descriptor fd is duplicated.
/dev/stdin
File descriptor 0 is duplicated.
/dev/stdout
File descriptor 1 is duplicated.
/dev/stderr
File descriptor 2 is duplicated.
/dev/tcp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts to open the corresponding TCP socket.
/dev/udp/host/port
If host is a valid hostname or Internet address, and port is an integer port number or service name, bash attempts to open the corresponding UDP socket.

Even better I can report: you do not need full FIRE and 15+ years of career. All the indies I know who "failed" returned to the industry with yet better jobs than prior. Ours is an industry where experience itself becomes security. Game's tooling changes slowly. While hordes are fighting for the few entry level positions every team actual wants is experienced people. Thus once you get into the games industry and stay, the jobs get better.
You need as many entrants in those fertile environments as possible because humans and societies are complex, leading to unpredictable outcomes as results of factors that anyone raising kids may have discounted, not known about, or been unable to measure. You can't just make a perfect path and then get exactly the super-offspring you want. Thinking you can is literally the founding story of Buddhism (not discounting the significance of Buddhism, but his father was shooting for a perfect ruler, not an enlightened-but-impoverished visionary.)

Edit to add: A side effect of all those people just barely going astray is that you get improvements in thought and technology across a span of many fields, which in turn brings future great achievements nearer to our reach.
I try to praise actions, ideas, contributions, effort.

During code reviews, I explicitly list all the things I like. During meetings, I'll restate someone's idea, then say why I like it. If I haven't seen someone for a while, maybe I'll say "Great to see you!"

Etc.
Naively, it looks like the CCP sees the influence and heft US tech exercises on the US population and world at large.

The CCP will forgo economic might (in this sector) for social stability and control every time. They do not want these titans to have more power or influence than they have so they rein them in and let them know who holds the straps.
Sure, and it could be political. In fact, most things of this nature are at that level. So, maybe, the people in charge didn't like the previous US government admin so they didn't help improve its numbers.

That is certainly more likely and believable than some vast left-wing conspiracy to implant Bill Gate's microchips in to your iPhone carrying ass to "track" you.

:)
Other cool things you can do if you compile yourself is use features like auto parallelization[1].

I wouldn't recommend to enable it system wide because it causes issues with programs that fork() due to limitations in gcc's OpenMP library[2], but other than that it works pretty well. For example, I can fully load my 4C/8T CPU using 3 clang processes because compilation is magically spread over multiple threads. I've seen a "single threaded" program (qemu-img) suddenly start using more than a single core to convert disk images into other formats, leading to speedups.

Also things like PGO/FDO in combination with workload specific profiling data can easily give you 10% or more if you are CPU bound.

I have a table with over a billion rows and most full-text searches still respond in around a few milliseconds. I think this will depend on a lot of factors, such as proper indexing, and filtering down the dataset as much as possible before performing the full-text ops. I've spent a considerable amount of time on optimizing these queries, thanks to tools like PgMustard [0]. Granted, I do still have a couple slow queries (1-10s query time), but that's likely due to very infrequent access i.e. cold cache.

I will say, if you use open source libraries like pg_search, you are unlikely to ever have performant full-text search. Most full-text queries need to be written by hand to actually utilize indexes, instead of the query-soup that these types of libraries output. (No offense to the maintainers -- it's just how it be when you create a "general" solution.)
