The 'elect' as a Christian concept is a bit different from ordinary uses of the word. In context, the concept from Calvinism seemed to be under discussion until someone came into the discussion using 'elect' in the normal meaning.

So I think it's important to keep track of which definition of 'elect' is in use here or you'll just be talking past each other without realizing that you're not talking about the same concept at all:

MinIO is something I'll look into. And, as another example to the article's, it might also come in handy for some data needs for factories with imperfect Internet reliability (e.g., when the main submarine cable between the factory and AWS Singapore gets severed :).

This first example from the article sounds very valid, but is still personally funny to me, because it's related to the first use I made of S3, but in the opposite direction (due to different technical needs than the article's):

> If an Airline has a fleet of 100 aircraft that produce 200 TB of telemetry each week and has poor network connectivity at its hub.

Years ago, I helped move a tricky Linux-filesystem-based storage scheme for flight data recorder captures to S3. I ended up making a bespoke layer for local-caching, encryption (integrating a proven method and implementation, not rolling own, of course), compression, and legacy backward-compatibility.

That was a pretty interesting challenge of architecture, operations, and systems-y software development. And the occasional non-mainstream technical requirements we encounter are why projects like this MinIO are interesting.
*Maybe they were ordered to clean up.*

I would love to believe that would be the case as it would show there was some effort given, no matter how bad the implementation was. Unfortunately, Kuwait is ran by decade-old mass negligence that runs from small institutions/businesses all the way up to the government.

I think the funniest thing happened about this situation is that we never knew about the fire but from the international media picked it up THEN the local media picked up on it. It's even more comical when you realize how tiny Kuwait is.

I thought the same thing. I own 6 rental properties, and there is no way serial eviction is a profitable business model. I want my tenants to stay in the property because tenant turnover is costly. You lose at least a month's rent while the property is on the market. If the tenant is represented by a real estate agent, they get 1/2 month's rent commission. At minimum, you must pay to clean the property, but usually, to keep the property marketable, you must paint or replace carpeting. Then there are the repairs and maintenance that must be done while the property is vacant. If you must go to court to evict, there is usually a months' long delay and the legal costs. And, I can't just wave my hand and keep the security deposit. In California, it can only be used for damage caused by the tenant, and any forfeit must be itemized.

The dirty little secret of high housing costs is illegal immigration. We limit immigration for a reason, and that reason is not to overburden our infrastructure. When you bring in an excess 1 million people, as we did last year, nearly all of them low wage workers, they take up the little amount of low income housing stock available. That drives up costs. There are other factors, of course, but that would be the easiest to remedy.

I've definitely noticed this.

As a kid we ate mostly natural food, as my parents had a decent sized farm. We always had salt on the table, and went through a lot of it.

As an adult without a farm, I cannot remember the last time I even touched the salt shaker. I've actually made spaghetti once that was near inedible because the sodium in the sauce, cheeses, and meat made it incredibly salty tasting.
I think this is a trigger for looking at the work you're doing, if it's actually necessary, or just busy work created by bureaucracy. If it is needed, should it be spread out among more people.
Doing math in your head doesn't really teach you anything either though. Everyone has a calculator within hands reach these days. I don't think practicing mental math ever helped me understand principles, it just helped me memorize and learn tricks that are only helpful with doing mental arithmetic.
Isn't that what pandas does kind of? You can execute sql queries and get the results in a dataframe which is a dictionary with some convenience functions on top.
Do you feel python could have gone further to take advantage of specific language features to improve that workflow?

I imagine with Mars's thin atmosphere, it'd be hard to get enough buoyancy to lift off.
It is not global warming mitigation. This method has no hope of counteracting any kind of change in climate even on geological timescales. The only thing it can do is to slowly move Earth away from Sun over billions of years in imperceptible increments roughly every 6 thousand years.

I hope humanity can even survive 6 thousand years.
The article has a quote speculating on the market’s (lack of) reaction (a quote I find rather horrifying):

> DeFi has survived so many individual hacks and exploits that people are less scared of their assets going to zero as a result.
I'm really really tired of explaining this, tbh.

The trouble is firstly that pip will happily install conflicting versions of numpy which breaks your code.

This occurs because pip didn't check dependencies until last year, which is one of the reasons it's a terrible package manager.

Now it just gets stuck spinning it's wheels for ages and then errors out, which is better but still not good.

Conda, while really slow actually handles c level dependencies which makes it usable.

Uh, of course it can.
Maybe we can put distinctive, unmistakeable labels on food packaging that indicates that the candy bar you're about to eat is "ultra-processed"

Maybe we can also tax "ultra-processed" food at a higher rate.

I just think it is naive to believe that people will make the right decisions for themselves or their loved ones without any "incentives"
Tools are relatively low level compared to any single use case or field because they should universally support all uses cases or fields. The more narrow your field or use case is, the fewer resources there are to create a higher level language that abstracts away the details that aren't important for your area, but are important to other areas. In this manner, Codex has enormous potential.
They lost their jobs but not their income. unemployment benefits and stimulus allowed all my service industry friends to come out ahead. I don’t understand why the strategy was to give people cash to cover their rent and also allow them to not pay it. That is obviously going to lead to a scenario where benefits get spent while rents go unpaid.

Also that's the last time the US defaulted on its debt in real terms (i.e. 1971 and the Nixon gold shock)
> In really complex systems, there's the ugly case where some middleware needs to fetch something from another service to start up... and then that fetch times out. So the middleware ends up in an invalid state.

That's no longer a performance issue then though. It may have been triggered by a performance issue, but for downstream services or users, its a plain old outtage.

Besides, who cares if its "technically" a performance issue if its unusable for you? Its the end result that's important and if I can't use the service, it make no difference to me what the technicalities are, only that I cannot use it, and my customers certainly don't care if my product stops working because microsoft or amazon or whoever have performance issues, they only care that my product stops working.
I think intelligence as defined as "mapping inputs into goal states" is pretty well handled by models, and the models may be able to pick and choose states that are sufficient for achieving the goals.

However, the intelligence that's created by language models is very schizophrenic, and the human-level reflective intelligence that it displays is at best a bit of Frankenstein's monster (an agglomeration of utterances from other people that it uses to form sentences that form opinions of itself or its world).

I think that modeling will help us learn more about human intelligence, but we're going to have to do a lot better than just training models blindly on huge amounts of text.
What if we eased evictions back in? Something like this: in August 2021, allow evictions for reasons other than non-payment of rent plus of anyone who's been behind on rent since February 2020. In September 2021, also allow evicting anyone who's been behind on rent since May 2020. In October 2021, since August 2020. Continue moving the cutoff by 3 months per month until it catches back up to real time in May 2022, then all evictions are allowed again.

Fascinating to see the numbers you chose.

I finished Grade 6 in Russia (in 1995) before emigrating to Canada.

I didn't learn anything new in Math class until mid-Grade 11 [1].

[1] Except Trigonometry. But I could tell the way it was taught was completely different from the concepts I learned in the Soviet/Russian system.

It was just rote memorization of sin/cos/tan - just clever formulas for deriving the angles and edge lengths of triangles that you solved by pressing the SIN/COS/TAN buttons on your calculator, rather than the "from first principle" explanation of what these concepts meant fundamentally.
> I see all these calls for "cancel rent", as if housing grows on trees and landlords are all some kind of Ebenezer stereotype, instead of being a lot of small-time folk just trying to get by.

So letting property should just be risk-free profit? Being a landlord is a business and businesses fail all the time.
A personal planner, every year.

I have always struggled with bursts of hyper-productivity and then bursts of burnout and developed a problem with getting motivated. A friend gave me the advice to get a notebook and write down what I did every day in broad strokes and if I had some particular mood swings or other mental health-related struggles.

It helped me develop good habits as I am awful at repetitive stuff and sometimes I even write down my short term plans ahead of time to just have a framework to keep to day to day. I abhor planning every moment of my life to a strict schedule so this is isn't an hour-to-hour plan but a list of activities and keywords, basically. It also assures that I don't get so deep into something that I just shut the outside world out.

I've been doing this for four years now and I have never missed a day of writing things down. I don't know why but "manifesting" plans into the physical realm just makes them more... real? The added benefit is that I can tell anyone what I did each day and what I struggled with / was happy to experience at any given day of those 4 years.
The atmo is very thin, making the balloon huge relative to the gondola. Some people are quite enthused about it anyway. Including myself.

For what it's worth it's not like there's absolutely zero recourse. If the person is a grifter, in the sense that he actually does have money and just doesn't feel like paying, he can usually be pursued in civil court for the balance and a judgement can be entered.

Sure if the person has no assets at all or declares bankruptcy then that won't help. But in that case he's in the category of people that don't have any money.

I think a lot of people are unaware that there is a distinction between an eviction proceeding, which is a proceeding seeking the equitable remedy of dispossessing someone from a property, and a proceeding for damages, where you try to recover the money they should have paid you.

Eviction proceedings are typically in a specific housing court and rules are often stricter and have a lot of local subtlety. For example sometimes you can only pay a portion of what you owe to dismiss an eviction proceeding, and so on.

That doesn't necessarily change the amount of money actually owed though, which can still be recovered the normal way with a regular old lawsuit for breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and so on.
They absolutely can. Most adults should be able to immediately recall the learnings from elementary to high school. This is not rocket science or highly specialized knowledge.

The fact that an arbitrary american adult educated in this country cannot easily differentiate and name some works of shakespeare and provide some quotes, etc, should be o source of national shame.
Not all crypto currencies are the same.

Ethereum has had lots of these hacks, due to bugs in the smart contracts provided.

You don't see these types of (protocol level) hacks in bitcoin, litecoin, or monero.
That has got to be one of the worst possible use cases one could imagine. In page 33 of the appendix, the authors note that nearly 40% of RSA encryption keys created by Codex are clearly insecure.
If you disallow third party cookies, then there is no use for this per website cookie jar. I've browsed the web like this for decades (since Opera 9, IIRC), and I had problems with at most 5 websites. YMMV, of course.

In my opinion, the simplest way to deal with cookies is to disallow third party, and to keep a white list of authorized websites. Cookies outside this white list should be deleted manually or automatically after a few hours. Extensions for this probably exist, but I've had bad experiences with extensions breaking or becoming intrusive, so I made my own where I hard coded the domains that I want to keep.
This is what happened in Canada. Limits on evictions, except supposedly if you were moving in to live in it. So, lots and lots of properties got sold.

Budget cuts.

The project had reportedly already integrated the major improvements from Servo into the main engine. It's not outlandish to assume that the marginal benefit of working on Servo was lower, compared to working on features on the main browser.

If you really want to go that route, you could make an argument that maybe Mozilla is handicapping Firefox's bookmark feature to get people to subscribe to Pocket... but people in this thread who are using Pocket also complain it doesn't solve their problems. What's the angle there? Pocket doesn't want paying customers?
I would argue humans ingest a lot more than 159GB before they can write code. Most of it isn't Python, and humans currently transfer knowledge a lot more efficiently than NNs, but I suspect that'll change as incorporating more varied data sources becomes feasible.
I don't have much to add to the conversation here, but an upvote doesn't seem to suffice in order to indicate that your separation of leadership and management into two separate (and potentially overlapping) qualities feels like a really useful one, thank you.
>Is there a third option?

Yes: some companies have employees who don't quit as soon as a new JavaScript framework is launched. Do what they do. Yes, large companies operate by different terms than startups, but I assume (big guess here) there are startups who aren't just angling for acquisition or unicorn-or-bust layoff pits. Note that they may not say they're going in those directions, but they will definitely manage you in those terms.

[In fact, I'd be curious how many <20ppl companies with 80hr/wk soldiers aren't hustling for acquistion or aren't running out of money]

For GP, it seems obvious that they're interviewing the wrong people. It could be their phone screening, it could be their ad, it could be their industry sector. For instance, don't advertise for a Front-end Developer, advertise for a [thing you're actually hiring for] Developer, and screen resumes on this basis regardless of what you put in the ad (which hopefully is accurate as to job responsibilities and necessary skills).
Well I guess I have some egg on my face.

They must know the market in London isn't competitive so they just pay a competitive rate in the market. It seems like salaries are generally going to go up everywhere for top talent but down in markets like Seattle and SV.

Another interesting aspect of London is that it is in a TZ so far away that there isnt any overlap with PST in the states, so they kind of know you are screwed if you are working there.
I was hopeful, perhaps naively, that sending some knowledge workers into the rural regions of our country (U.S.) might help to alleviate both the cultural and economic divides that plague our society.

I graduated around 2005, and yes, beatings were common. As were bribes and sexual abuse. The sexual abuse was so much in the open that some thought it was cool to see a student girl dating a professor.

It is more pronounced in universities - ask medical or economics students and you’ll uncover quite a few stories.

I don't know why Arabs intentionally burning tires is a thing, but in Israel, there's an issue of Arabic villages regularly burning tires. As long as you live near a village, you're going to smell burnt tires every month or so. It's disgusting and unhealthy and it always comes from Arabic villages. Seems like they just don't care about neither the environment nor the health of everyone.
Question from someone who rarely uses TypeScript: why don't you use TypeScript and why do you advocate for its removal?
Good healthy food costs more money. We've done a great job about putting the most amount of calories and flavor into cheaper than dirt forms. I think a breakfast of oats and lunch of a tuna sandwich would work. Most lunch meats are probably considered Ultra-Processed.

I think the only ways out of this are as you said fixing everything yourself. Most things you can eat raw that isn't packaged would probably be safe. Then cooking your own meats.

But pasta is considered Ultra-Processed, packaged bread is ultra-processed. I thought those were some of the most basic foods with the smallest number of ingredients. Maybe home made versions as you suggested are not considered Ultra-Processed.
Yes, by legitimate I meant genuine rather than authorized.
Given mineral soil depletion it's probably a necessity for most people to eat fortified foods.

Sugar and salt as primary flavoring is not the greatest, to be sure, but ultra-processing foods doesn't seem too bad considering that all the human body does is masticate food a bit to mix in some enzymes and dump it in a vat of acid and bacteria, pour in some more enzymes, and then stir it up for a day or so to get the nutrients out. It's not a boutique experience going on down there. The entire point is to reduce complex foods to simple component molecules that can be absorbed.

EDIT: and of course there's complex interactions between some vitamins and minerals that influence absorption that calls for variety in diet throughout the day/week.

> Pharmaceuticals are ultra-processed and completely unnatural, yet many of them are life-saving. Clearly then, mere act of processing something doesn't make the thing bad for you.

I have to admit though, I'm not aware of any food that would be considered "ultra-processed" yet known to be good for people.
How is your interpretation any better than the editorialized 'brown drops education requirements'. The pandemic is no excuse to lower standards. It short changes these kids. If anything, public schooling should be extended as an option for those above 18 to freely learn what they missed. This is an immense loss for these children. The last two years of High school are extremelyy important.
