I hadn't thought about it like that. A16Z is behind Substack as well, and they seeded the platform by paying well-known writers six-figure advances to set up Substack exclusive newsletters.

It's impossible to do that with Clubhouse, because people are joining to hear the rich and famous speak, and the rich aren't going to set up residencies on some app.
You absolutely could do that. I think symmetry often looks nice in these things, so you could start to get a bit creative with the algorithm and decide that the first 2 bits denote symmetry like {0: None, 1: Vertical Mirror, 2: Horizontal Mirror, 3: 4-fold rotational}.

There's a whole tonne of procedural generation tricks you could employ to get interesting aesthetics pretty quickly.

> 1. When unentangled particles are sent through one of these split-combine setups they produce an interference pattern.

It depends on how you prepare the particle beam. With a laser or passing first though a single (centered) slit, you get a beam of pure state particles that cause interference.

If you use other method, you can get an ensemble that doesn't produce interference.

About the use of the polarizer at 45°, I'm still not convinced. I have to write it carefully, but now I'm super busy [1]. I hope to take some time to write it next month.

Anyway, it would be nice to replace the double slit experiment with another experiment, like a beam splitter. It's difficult to remember what the two slits and the screens do to my brackets. (I think I know now, but I must write that carefully.)

You are correct. The model training is pretty intensive and needs to be run remotely in powerful machines.

The final model is just a series of vectors that are typically pretty fast to run on the local machine.
I'm sorry but mechanical light switches are certainly not as cheap as ZigBee alternatives. You need to have copper wires running from the switch to the light. If you want to move the button or add another button it takes hours of work. Working with electricity is even dangerous.

I think it’s exactly “resume driven development” combined with “they don’t know better”. Let’s imagine I am one of those cynic developers and I am faced to work for 2 companies:

- company A is using WordPress to deliver the website OP is talking about. PHP and HTML. I have heard that was very used in the 2000s, but I don’t see any company out there hiring for such skills. Besides all the tech conferences I have attended haven’t talked about PHP at all

- company B is using cool Next.js, GraphQL and Amazon serverless. Now we are talking! Last summer I attended to a GraphQL conference and it was awesome! The host seemed very cool and showed us a demo that looked amazing. Besides, I just checked LinkedIn and there are tons of jobs that require Next.js skills. I think it’s better to work for company B; they seem to know their stuff because they use up to date tools. Also, company B pays way more!

The decision is straightforward, isn’t it?
That was the question specific to SQL Server storage sort order for clustered indexing and most relevant to ULID to uniqueidentifier "conversion"/storage, but yes there are endianness issues in the sort orders as well, which is why I made sure to include the full Raymond Chen blog post on many of the most common sort orders for GUIDs because it is quite the rabbit hole. (The "update" footnote link at the bottom of the article I posted to the Java order is especially wild if you fall into the rabbit hole.)

(ETA: Also to answer your indirect question, Microsoft was definitely an early adopter of GUID/UUID. Though the inventor was Apollo Computer as a part of their complex network design: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Computer)

Exactly. Arbitrage will always be appealing in a free marketplace. As the (market) prices continue to go up those of us at the bottom will get pushed out and those with more capital will stay in, until it balances itself at some point.

The problem is that point is far beyond anything that resembles the Internet today. This is why the marketplace is administered by a non-profit for the benefit of the public.
Not even a real or useful measure of privacy implications. Just the completely subjective feeling of being "creepy" expressed as a percentage as if it were a precise and objective measurement.
What I am looking for is prosecution.

Everything done in those programs was explicitly against numerous laws, and everyone involved knew it at the time. I see no reason not to indict every person who participated, at any level, with numerous felonies, along with everyone whose responsibility was to stop it, and didn't. There is way more than enough guilt to go around.

Prosecutions should particularly include CIA executive management.

So, that's NOT the sunk cost fallacy. If you are still getting benefit from the cost, it's not sunk*. This is just not wanting to invest time into a new system while you're still productive in the current system.

A sunk cost would be like, "Well, I spent $100 on this steak, so I'm going to finish it, even though the next bite may make me vomit." In that case, you paid for the steak, it cannot be returned half eaten, and eating more of it will bring you zero benefit, so the rational behavior is to not eat more of it.

EDIT: It's not a "fallacy". It is still a sunk cost. My mistake.
The strategy that has made me most happy is to divide my work time almost in half. Half is regulated, doing tickets, choosing the high priority long term work, documenting, and moving milestones. The other half, I always work on the most recently requested thing of me, or really whatever sounds fun, no matter how small or stupid it is, and I don't guilt myself over it. It has worked really well!
When it comes to tech, look around for Netflix as a service providers out there so you can just focus on content. One of the bigger ones I know is https://www.accedo.tv but I am sure the commenters will help you find more.
I think sometimes you want to put why in a comment. Just today I wrote a two paragraph comment (usually I don't write many comments at all) that describe the business need for why this the code is necessary (in my case, connecting to a 3rd party data source that overshares, describing the nature of the oversharing, outlining the -- very complex -- steps in the pruning algorithm, and noting that there are corner cases we might miss and also noting that we shouldn't care -- a handful of bad apples in a machine learning algo will probably disappear in the wash).
Quora doesn't really depend on status. If some random 17-year-old in Nicaragua who's really into the topic you asked about can provide the answer to your question, that's a good outcome. Clubhouse was not about knowledge transfer in that way. While Quora works like a "ask a librarian" hotline, Clubhouse was more like Comic-Con, where the identity of the speaker is the most important thing.

Emacs gives you back what you put into it. There's absolutely nothing wrong with using it at a very basic level, and getting to that point takes minimal time. There's a 15 minute interactive tutorial linked from the start screen at which point you're fully able to get work done. You can then reach for other goodies like Org, Magit, various interactive shells, tetris, whenever you want/need. I probably used Emacs for 5 years straight before installing a single package other than color themes.

To me the pitch for Emacs is it's the same overall platform now as it has been for decades and will probably continue to be. While all my colleagues were jumping from BBEdit to TextMate to Sublime to Atom and now VSCode, I've just been sitting here editing text.

I thought Indians largely looked down on dating, although maybe the times have changed in the last 10 years? I have many close Indian friends and they are all married via arranged marriage. I’m pretty sure their American-born children will not marry via arranged marriage though and they have all come to grips with that.

I remember talking with one of my friends about arranged marriage and she laughed in my face when I asked her what she thought about marrying for love. She said that marrying for love is a Hollywood myth and if you look around, did it really exist long term? She said compatibility was the most important thing, not love, which I found very interesting.
Nah. Maybe that was one from today, but it certainly doesn't apply to the comments I've been referring to.

No, what I gather is that many people cannot change their minds when presented with good evidence. Here's one: They complain about "monocultures" as if they're always bad but when I point out that the Linux kernel created a monoculture and the world hasn't imploded, they have no come-back. So they do the only thing that they can do.

It's fine with me, I wear it as a badge of pride because I know I'm right whenever that happens.
I used to customize pretty much all of my tools and OSs like that. If there was a control/config for it I was tweaking it. Now I leave them alone. I jump between so many boxes now it is not worth it. Except for 'hide file extensions' I tweak that one every time :)
I read this entire article and I still have absolutely no idea what it's talking about. What is clubhouse? I thought it was about the clubhouse music, but some of the comparisons were far too out there for music - so what is it then?
> What makes you think that? That's just your opinion.

It’s not just my opinion that Apple has implemented a hash based mechanism to scan for child pornography that runs on people’s phones. People complaining about it have definitely lost the battle already. It is already here.

> I understand you may try to convince readers that it is over, because it may be your opinion.

That is not an accurate understanding of my argument.

My position is to agree with those who see this as a slippery slope of increasingly invasive surveillance technology, and to point out that simply arguing against it has been consistently failing over time.

I am also pointing out that one reason it’s failing is that even if the measures are invasive and we think that is bad, the problems they are intended to solve are real and widely perceived as justifying the measures.

What I advocate is that we accept that this is the environment, and if we don’t like Apple’s solution, we develop, or at least propose alternative ways of addressing the problem.

That way we would have a better alternative to argue in favor of rather than just complaining about the solution which Apple has produced and which is the only proposal on the table.
Fortran has seen major changes over the 64 years it's been in use. I feel that Emacs Lisp has had a much slower evolution (though admittedly I've only used it for about 20 years, I can't comment on how much it changed prior to that).

In particular, the biggest change I'm aware of with Emacs Lisp (the language) is that we now have lexically scoped variables. The biggest change to its implementation has been a push towards native compilation (much improved performance, I like it). The language has, otherwise, largely remained the same.

In some regard, this can be seen as a consequence of having a decent base language. Where Fortran's original version became increasingly indecent as time went on, Emacs Lisp seems to have held up better thanks to a stronger foundation. That doesn't mean there isn't room for improvement.

In particular, the things that (my opinion) are still missing from the language are:

1. A good concurrency model. CSP, actors, I don't care but it needs to exist. Paired with the native execution we're getting now, this would greatly improve the real and perceived performance of the system.

2. A real module system. I'm not talking about a package manager, but moving things into module scopes a la Common Lisp packages. The prefixed names for functions and variables is a hazard. Even if you leave every symbol exported by default so that you don't lose visibility to module internals it would be better than now. It would also open up a lot of opportunities like the potential to run multiple versions of the same package side-by-side.
By that logic, no medieval castle would have survived any period of tumult. But they often did, and I think a similar gameplan would apply. I think it would turn out some of the toughest “Army buddy” types would rather have themselves and their families inside the fortress with the lord (or equivalent) and would fight like hell against any wayward “Army buddies” who tried to storm the place.
Agreed, Kind is perfect for running disposable, reproducible multi-node clusters that are essentially upstream K8s.
Ignoring the union issue, I feel like they wouldn’t want it turning into the Elon show as he is so apt to do.
You definitely could, we used to support it in a previous iteration.

This was also possible on the Nexus devices, although the oldest I've tried it is the Nexus 6P.

It just worked slightly differently on those, nowadays you enroll the public key by flashing it to the device, on those (Pixel 1, Nexus) you used to have the public key embedded in the kernel.

Was it ever actually in doubt that Apple could read stuff you put in their cloud of they so desired? It seems obvious.
You’re not wrong, but not relevant either. If your RTT to the server is 15ms, then connecting to that server with TLS1.2 will take 4×15ms = 60ms. On Starlink that will currently take 4×45ms = 180ms. Yes, 180ms is three times 60ms, but to a human that is irrelevant. Humans can’t detect time intervals of less than 100ms, and can only barely detect intervals less than 200ms. In a direct comparison between the two, humans will rate the 60ms connection as instantaneous and the slower 180ms connection as nearly instantaneous. This makes them “close” as the article described, especially when compared to old–school satellite links where the RTT can be insane.

And the handshake time doesn’t compound; there is no need to open a new connection to the server for every resource needed by a webpage. The web browser just keeps reusing the same connection until it runs out of resources to fetch from the server.
Note that Indian people are suffering way more than than their western counterparts. The homeless in US lives a considerably better life than Indian homeless.

This is not justifying one or the other. But if one always start with humanity as one's subject of discussion, than there probably is no meaningful progress to be made at all.
It's the complete opposite, Office365 only supports OAuth with IMAP and is phasing out/has phased out Basic Auth for IMAP. Additionally more often than not organizations are actually running Microsoft Exchange under the hood -- the majority of MS Exchange servers have Basic Auth disabled for IMAP (I believe since 2017 it's been off by default).
These types of requirements are literal institutional racism/sexism/etc and companies should just bail on the Nasdaq rather than cower before interference into their management practices. I also am not fond of the fact that only progressive notions of diversity are considered - sexual orientation is included but not ideological diversity or urban/rural diversity or whatever else. It’s just so random and arbitrary.

This but is also laughable:

How is it a market led solution when diversity requirements are being forced upon individual companies by a centralized institution? Nasdaq being private makes it about as “market led” as anti-competitive payment processors imposing constraints on merchants.
I would contend it's easier to date in India. Cheap thrills are everywhere, far too many people around for you to stick out of the crowd (you just need to be a few train/bus stops away from familiar locations).

Strikingly, transportation is cheap. No need to own a car/get expensive Uber rides. And street food is plenty and delicious. Simple dating is much easier for everyone in the spectrum.

Societal issues on the other hand are still not up to the other modern 50% of the country.

Clubhouse is an talk radio station that can occasionally take listener calls. I never understood the fascination.
Don't ditch your phone. Divide and compartment its functions. I went to Europe without a phone once. Things were fine but there was a layer of friction over everything. When does that restaurant/shop open, how to get reservation, buy tickets in advanced. The airline had a strike, I had to go through the concierge to find out if I needed rebooking for the flight home, it was up in the air the day I departed.

I had with me a Garmin with a memstick of the local map. Sadly I'd given it away, I wish I had kept it. I also had with me a non-wifi little camera that could shoot videos. I used the Garmin for direction and map. When I got home I unpacked the camera memsticks. Things were mostly fine.

What's the best alt to Apple product is the wrong question. Apple, or anyone else, has such leverage because it bundled so many functions important to you, convenience is the scaling factor. Maps and navigation on phone is great, iPhone camera is awesome, sharing grocery lists and docs is very handy. Put them all together and Apple becomes dangerous to privacy.

I'm still muddling through, trying to think about this and how I will change my tech using habit.
> I think like many have pointed out, there’s a messaging issue. I want to feel like I’m welcome, even though I’m not culturally black, to consume content created by black creators on a platform that helps promote that content.

I don’t see a messaging problem. I see you positing a different unmet need than the one that firm here has identified and is addressing. Which is fine, but “Netflix for people who want Black-created content but get icky feeling about products marketed to Black audiences” is, I suspect, a much narrower niche, and certainly a different niche, than BlackOakTV seems interested in serving, whose existence (to the extent it exists) does nothing to invalidate the niche BlackOakTV is trying to address or their efforts to do so.
My point is that I find it difficult to understand your comment because the Foundation does 2 things - advocacy, and holds the trademarks.
