What are the main benefits of v3 compared to v1?

Is there any migration work needed to use v3 on a project bootstrapped with v1 or is it transparent?
There's no algorithmic bias without raw data bias in the first place.
I don’t think exactly the same extent. In Minkowski space, if you pick an orthonormal basis, one of the basis elements will be timelike and the other 3 will be spacelike, and the timelike one will be orthogonal to any linear combination of the spacelike ones, which, I think almost justifies saying that they are “90 degrees from one-another”.

I agree that saying it is “space rotated 90 degrees” is, not really right.
There’s no rotation that would rotate all the special directions to a time direction, that wouldn’t make sense.
1 ≠ 3 and all that.

But there’s a bit of something kind of right in it.
What I find interesting, is that instead of taking that savings directly (by firing accounting employees), managers will just increase the load on accounting now that they are more efficient.

And when reporting those same efficiencies up, many managers will take the credit for any efficiency gain, rather than give credit to the employees that made the gain happen.

There is only 185k people living on the "big island". I'm not sure why people would expect something other than a rural America level of services, when it is really just a small city of people effectively in the middle of no where.

Note that smaller cities in rural America service a much larger population than just the city itself. The island does not have a surrounding population that can drive an hour in once a week to make use of a big box stores.

Google maps says there is a Walmart, Kmart, Sears and a number of other well known American brands. It's not like they are being blocked from entering the market.
The talk about China is predictively ignorant and in conflict with facts. Since you're still mentioning total emissions instead of per capita emissions, I can only assume you have a political axe to grind.

I'm confused as to how these so called investors have any right to make policy? These are managers of other people's money. This is not their own money. They have never asked for a vote by their investors as to whether they should become active in social policies. They could just as well be arguing for more use of fossil fuels. The opinion of money managers should have no place in shaping policy.
>The world of pure deterministic feeds ordered by date descending never had these problems--things would still "go viral" I guess, but it was humans sharing them deliberately to people they knew.

If one of the harms you're thinking of is spreading misinformation, we saw that before filtered feeds (email forwards) and we still see it with chat. In places where group chat is the primary form of social media you see this problem just as with FB in the US.
They used to distribute Safari on Windows. Back then it had little adoption.
That's not to say that you should write average books. It's more that people usually underestimate the amount of time it takes to come up with a good idea. And then they keep investing time into a bad idea due to sunk cost fallacy.
seems like Verizon does a pretty good job.
i agree that the task of actually searching for a valid proof or counterexample of some hypthosesis (rather than verifying a given purported proof is correct or not with respect to some known axioms/theorems etc) relies on an awfully large amount of intuition & knowledge of standard heuristic "tricks" that might be applied to guide the search.

i only took pure math to undergrad level, but sitting in lectures and having a particular proof explained was often fairly frustrating ("why on earth would we think of applying that particular trick there?" "where on earth did that idea come from?") from the perspective of thinking how you (or a machine) might go about methodically discovering a proof for yourself.

"that's a fun angle - what is the "correct" sound?"

I think you are absolutely correct here and I crapped out! - there is no correct.

There is no correct sound but there might be "authentic" sound or perhaps the original sound. The thing is I don't think you can go back on the past when several people who were there are now dead and the rest of them and my tiny recollection are well over 50 odd years old.

Basically, what I'm asking for is: go easy on history.

Anyone else find the crescendos on "A Day in the Life" to sound very different on the 2017 remix compared to older mixes? Not just more/better stereo mixing, but it almost sounds like the instruments are playing different notes. I'm not saying I think they actually rerecorded it, but it almost sounds like they did.

Regular expression replaces on content are very fragile. Unfortunately, browsers do not yet provide general request regulation capabilities. Until then, Transcend Consent Manager's API can solve this much more easily with a more robust request-override based approach:

self.airgap = {
overrides: [{
matcher: '//www.youtube.com/',
override(request) {
request.urls.forEach((input, i) => {
const url = new URL(input, location.href);
if (url.searchParams.has('pp')) {
url.searchParams.delete('pp');
request.urls[i] = url.href;
}
});
}
}]
};
You're talking about "developers reaching the users", but that's from the perspective of building websites and webapps. What about from the other side? What if you're a developer that wants to control your own computer & your interfaces to the web?

It used to be a lot easier 10 years ago, federated protocols were more common, websites were forced to be more accessible in a more fragmented browser marketshare. It wasn't until Chrome started doing forced auto-updates (and the other browsers followed) that really pushed to a monoculture and led to more locked down websites. Developers loved that it made their work easier, but there is a cost of freedom.
The Maxx was incredible. Those were the days when MTV actually had music videos. I loved watching all of MTV's "oddities" with my aunt.
Important to note: the vote result was already tallied to not unionize
Every highly paid software dev doesn't see the point of unions until they get screwed over by management.

USA has this really perverse view that unions are about dragging everyone down to the level of the worst employee, demanding money and gangsta standover men.

Most unions are about having someone in your corner when the big bad company decides to step on little old you. It's about having legal backing so some bro startup lord can't make your life a misery because you objected to him sexually harassing you.

I've worked at large dev companies, and had to put up with years of bullshit, team cuts, denied payrises because of other teams not getting their shit down, seeing teams lauded for breaking the rules then other teams threatened with firing for copying the favoured teams, teams gutted to make blackops groups for whatever stupid idea an exec currently likes then the originals teams getting no bonuses because they can't keep up. The vast majority of people in charge in software are selfish jerks, whether they are born again coders or mba suits brought in to increase profits. Unions are there so you are not alone

Now I work in one of the most unionised organisations in the country. Management might still be bastards, but I have thousands people on my side.

These haven't been that safe for free speech for a while now. The current US administration has clearly demonstrated that it's willing to use the full weight of the state against dissent. It's partnered with shadowy NGOs to create a chilling effect against dissenting voices online under the guise of 'hate speech'.

> My understanding is that Redis is fast because it writes and reads from memory. Postgres is slower because it ensures writes are persisted to disk before responding (among other reasons).

If you don't need transaction commits to be durable, you can turn that off in postgres, on a per-transaction/connection/user/database basis. E.g.

BEGIN;
SET LOCAL synchronous_commit = off;
/* bunch of writes */
COMMIT;

will, just for that one transaction, not wait for transaction commits to be flushed to disk. Can be very useful for not-that-important data...

Congrats on your side project! This wonderful discussion exists because of your work.
The focus of browser development was(and always has been) a kind of Worse-is-Better thing of supplying sexy features to wow users. While client apps are definitely sexy, the overall shape of the browser wars was towards throwing in many bullet-point features of varying utility and complexity - so, not just JS, but JS plus CSS plus additional media types(including plugins). Once you have a client scripting thing with traction, it sucks the air out of the room for a slightly-better client scripting thing. And this could be said of ActiveX, Java, and Flash - they did not keep traction based on what they did better than JS, but what they did that was simply impossible in JS(which mostly amounted to I/O access or certain media types).
Back up everything of yours at least once daily. Use a cronjob so that it won't matter if you can remember or not. I don't trust the 'Cloud' after several disasters involving DropBox when travelling out of the country.

I treat my data like I treat my gold: "If it isn't under your own personal control, you don't own it at all".

Store your files such that you are not backing up unnecessary stuff - such as the system itself because that's what system re-installs are for.(Apart from your various config files which are included in the daily backups)

I divide my stuff into four main categories: config files and installed-package lists, databases, personal stuff, and "write once, keep forever" archives.

The config-files and installed-package lists allow you to reinstall your system itself from scratch in less than an hour, in most cases.

Databases are self explanatory. Dump the databases at least once daily, reload it when your system crashes.

Personal /home directory stuff is restricted to personal documents and stuff that I am currently programming. That is it. Nothing else. What else would you need? That small amount is generally held down to less than 10 gigs.

For all else, (ebooks, videos, photos, music, etc, etc, etc) there is the archive directory. That is stuff that needs to be kept, but isn't actually private and personal.

The first three categories are included in my main daily backup as a full snapshot.

The last category, the archive directory, is backed up as rsync changes. This goes to several separate backup media. On many days, there will be no changes at all and the rsync backup takes less than a couple of minutes.
I think "contactless" at this point has come to be a term for no human contact.
I don't mind reading the source, but it can feel a lot slower than it needs to to get the information I need. Of course, it's completely understandable that it would be lacking because it did just (relatively speaking) undergo a major refactor.

I can tell though that I'm going to have to write my own documentation (for my coworkers) about how to use Slate, because for me, having explicit examples of proper function usage is incredibly helpful and there isn't much of that in the documentation.. so we're basically just left with the existing examples which don't come close to covering all of the options each function has.

I'll also probably have to include a migration guide (e.g. if you used to do (a) with the old API, try (b) in the new one.. (it's probably just Editor.nodes))

Trivially safe? It can fail. As with snprintf, it's easy to forget to check the result, but at least with snprintf the result is always a safe string. With asprintf, not checking the result or doing it incorrectly will lead to undefined behaviour. From the man page:

> the Atmos mix of Abbey Road, which was produced for its 50th anniversary in 2019 is “a much better-functioning Atmos mix because it’s much closer to the stereo mix, sonically.”

Having listened to the mix after a recommendation on HN I couldn’t disagree more. The atmos mix sounds terrible. I don’t have high expectations for the sgt peppers mix, the mono mix is just a very high bar. I assume any modern mix will sound good for people that otherwise listen to a lot of modern music but terrible to people used to 60s music.

A fast binary search intended for B-tree key array searches does not have branches at all [1]. An B-tree interior node's key array is usually sized to fit in one cache line, so there isn't a difference in cache access pattern.

With 8-byte keys and the usual 64-byte cache line size, you end up with 8 keys per interior node's key array. That's a pretty bad range for the "simple linear search" most people would write, which is going to be dominated by the expected branch mispredict cost. The idea of using a hint to guess a starting position for either linear or binary search has the same issue. You need branches to capitalize on the best case vs worst case spread, and the mispredict cost will dominate for smaller arrays like this.

If you care about speed for this case, use a fast branchless binary search or a vectorized linear search (the latter will have an edge). An additional minor consideration for B-tree traversal is the latency of vector vs scalar loads since you don't know the load address (except for the root node) until you've finished searching the parent node's key array. That is not necessarily true for vectorized searches of small arrays in general, where the vector load addresses may be key independent (like the B-tree root node is here) and so in that case the few extra cycles of L1 load-to-use latency for vector loads (and higher load latencies in general) can often be hidden.

[1] By B-tree I am referring to in-memory B+ trees. A disk-based B+ tree would usually be built around page-granularity nodes. In that regime a branchless binary search for integer/float keys (with software prefetch to populate the cache ahead of the data dependency chains) that finishes off with a vectorized linear search is likely going to be the winner. The B-tree slack interval (M/2, M] helps since it guarantees a fully unrolled binary search with lg(M) steps won't waste any steps. You can still support "underflowing" B-tree nodes with the same branchless code path.

g++ (and I assume other compilers) may diagnose it as missing either a comma (because of the comma operator) or a missing semicolon (can't find the end of statement) - silently providing one or the other would not be a good idea.

It always pays to shop around, and I've actually shifted more of my business to ebay for items that are quite clearly the same cheap chinese product with X name stuck on it. Amazon doesn't reliably hit its two-day shipping mandate for me, and USPS can often beat them for smaller items.

One thing I have noticed and don't really understand: Sellers who's products are more expensive on their own site than on their Amazon page. I could understand parity, but I don't understand it being more expensive to purchase from them directly.
Not sure why it's so hard for some people.

When Amazon Prime was real 2-day shipping and they'd send something via overnight air just to get it to you in time, it was nice. And would have been hard to give up.

Now that it just means free shipping, and you might get it tomorrow and you might get it in a week, it's much easier just to buy somewhere else. Walmart. Target. BH Photo. Adorama. Best Buy. Tons of options.
I listen to podcasts as well but it doesn’t help you ask deep questions to yourself and get to the core truth.

That’s probably true. Prior to social media, the social benefit to making pithy, reductionist “takes” was small compared to maintaining in-person relationships in relatively good terms.

Now, however, the perceived social benefit of those same takes is huge, as they can go viral online and rack up major internet points. This translates to real life interactions. Those relationships we would have preferred to maintain by keeping our mouths shut are now under attack because we inadvertently use our internet takes IRL.
