It is, and it’s not directly tunable … the opinion is ‘we’re IO-bound, not compute-bound’.

I spent a chunk of time recently (10s of hours) doing dumb C# vs Go benchmarks - files and networking, and nothing worth taking seriously - just, usually the part about being IO-bound was true. C# is really impressive and was just a little slower with the best async solutions I could come up with. The machinery for async has overhead, so do Go routines and channels … the first-pass, not very performant code was just a little faster and IMHO clearer with Go (but I’m much better with Go /shrug).

I used payday loans a few times back in the day - not for anything large, just for like $300 or so at a time. Getting those payday loans really helped me and I never experienced any negative consequences from taking them. I never thought of them as being a scam. I knew what sort of interest rates I was getting into and I took the loans fully knowingly. Personally I did not experience any predatory practices unless you count the interest rates themselves as predatory. That said, I always paid the loans back pretty quickly so I do not know how the companies behave if people are slow in paying.

In many of these instances, it seems more like multiple layers of ‘rose-colored glasses’, than one person being willfully ignorant. This is somewhat similar to engineering situations where each reviewer adds some safety margin, and the end product becomes bloated.

Enron is a particularly interesting case, because the filings and statements were all truthful, but almost nobody ever read them. They also had one or two good businesses, but were dragged down by liabilities from the others, so it wasn’t a total fraud. That said, I do think the Enron CFO was guilty of criminal fraud, though I think Lay and Skilling should have only been held civilly liable.

> There's no reason to have both ä and a followed by the umlaut as separate characters.

ä is a part of ISO/IEC 8859-1 among others. Unicode has a requirement that characters in existing character sets should be precomposed because the transition from the legacy system (where everything is seemingly one "character") to Unicode (where some characters may be composed of multiple code points) would be harder. This concern is not hypothetical; Unicode as today couldn't be possible if an ASCII-compatible Unicode transformation format (UTF-8) didn't exist.

> I know nothing about Hangul.

It doesn't matter you know nothing about Hangul because you are suggesting to remove some features that Hangul depends on! Prove that Hangul doesn't need those features or accept that your complaint to Unicode based on your misunderstanding of internationalization is unsubstantiated.

> Tell me about the Fraktur example. Two fonts in Unicode for the same letters, and that's only the beginning. Unicode has boldface and italic encodings, too, but only for some letters.

These characters are in (amusingly, self-explanatory) the Mathematical Alphanumeric Symbols block where the same character with different styles can have different semantics. It was originally proposed by the STIX project in 1998 (L2/98-405) in the form of variant tags and later changed to separate characters (L2/99-105) because variant tags cannot be limited to a set of desirable characters. Nowadays they are more frequently used as "formatting" in a plain text, but Unicode wouldn't be responsible for any such (incorrect) uses beyond mathematics.

Oh, and all of this information can be easily found from L2 documents linked in that Wikipedia page. If you were doing the minimal research on the topic before complaining I wouldn't be this sarcastic.

> But people are familiar with that, after all, even diff programs have an option to ignore whitespace differences.

Ideally diff should be aware of the structure of input files so that they can filter out non-semantic changes. Whitespace removal is a cheap approximation that doesn't always work. But that's another topic.

> Have fun writing a 100% correct program that can diff two Unicode files and not show embedded but invisible differences.

Why should I do that? I do care about trailing whitespaces and unused control characters in a plain text file and I want to see changes on them.

I guess you have made this problem up again as a hypothetical example (please let me know the context if not), but if you really need the visual difference of texts, the correct answer is that you should consult the rendering system---not Unicode---to list a series of glyphs and compare against them because it has a final say about the actual visual output. It's like a Unicode string indexing [1]; yes, you can do that under certain circumstances, but why do you that in the first place? You are almost surely solving a wrong problem.

I suspect it will know where the lane markings are better than human drivers. They are mapped ahead of time and the car can likely localize itself via other landmarks to determine where they are without being able to see them.

The harder part is driving like a human and detecting that a path has been made in the middle of two lanes in heavy snow and not obeying the lines at all.

- Yeah, that's the way it is in this company. The owner is a greedy crook, and the fish rots from the head, you know. We're told to lie to employees that there's no budget for pay rises, while the profits have doubled. It's all bs. But I can refer you to a few places that pay what you want.

If you're the entrepreneurial type... i think this and/or your parent comment are very compelling and i'd be interested (im in US not EU but still)
My agreement with you falls largely under my last paragraph. I'm trying to illustrate a couple examples where driving as a human on roads built for human drivers requires perceptive powers and understanding that are beyond 'merely' driving safely, but also require a sort of holistic understanding of the world. If your goal is to make a better than human substitute driver then I don't think it is a completely unreasonable position to believe you'll need some level of AGI. Of course, as we figure out how to do concrete tasks and incorporate them into a system they'll stop being considered traits that would require general intelligence, but I suppose that is a different discussion.

And your example isn't moving goalposts, its just another legitimate example of a situation thats gotta get figured out. If you think that things like understanding that some kid learning to skateboard nearby could fall a surprisingly far distance and thus you should exercise caution, or being aware of factors that imply fast biking children (say, an adult and a child implies the potential for another fast moving child on the same trajectory), that this sort of situational and contextual awareness is critical for proper driving.. then yeah, that would be a reasonable sounding argument to support "I think self driving cars will require some level of progress in AGI".

That's all I'm long-windedly getting at.

At the time MongoDB's sharding story wasn't great. They've gotten better since, but still have a primary-replica set model that has a single point of failure/failover. Cassandra (and Scylla) are leaderless, peer-to-peer clustering. Any node can go offline and the cluster keeps humming. Cassandra shards per node. Scylla goes beyond that and shards per core.

Cassandra and Scylla also use hinted handoffs so if a node is unavailable temporarily (up to a few hours) you can store "hints" for it when it comes back online. Handy for short admin windows.
I am creating a tool for organizing your thoughts and understanding yourself
Hello! I am creating an app that helps you organize your thoughts and understand yourself to live a happier life. Anima guides you through a review of your thoughts, feelings, habits and relationships with others. Anima also allows you to set meaningful goals.

I would appreciate your feedback on the prototype. You can try it for free:

https://anyma.bubbleapps.io

I am a psychologist and neuroscientist. I graduated with a Master’s degree from University College London, where I analysed brain scans, created mathematical models of decision making and used brain stimulation to modulate human learning. I always wanted to create a digital model of the individual and I hope that Anima will grow closer to this vision in the future.

I would really appreciate your feedback on how to develop the product further and create value for you.

You can surely balance objectively user-championed concerns with business concerns as a UX professional but I felt a lack of understanding of this concept.

For instance, clearly stating exactly what will change when you cancel is a total win in my eyes yet you spent 10+ slides tearing that down simply for the use of the phrase "your favorite apps". Not being clear on a multi-subscription website what will change is a more egregious offboarding failure.

Verifying you're the account owner and not just a rando who clicked into an email of your friends account when that person expresses intent to make changes to a subscription is a standard security practice not necessarily an intentional point of cancellation friction. Test this bias yourself by trying to upgrade your plan, I'm certain you will be prompted to sign in prior to being able to upgrade.

Overall, the presentation was great but the principles underlying it were weak in my opinion.
> Unfortunately developers who don’t know better judge it by it’s historical association with Windows rather than how powerful it is today.

Some of us actually got to experience the entire journey from the old to new world first-hand. We started out as a .NET 3.5 Framework solution (windows only), and are now looking at a .NET 6 upgrade (any platform). Over the course of 7+ years, we went through all of the following frameworks:

3.5 => 4.0 => 4.5 => 4.6.2 => [netcore convert]

2.0 => 2.2 => 3.0 => 3.1 => 5.0 => ...

Some of the transitions were a little painful, but the same fundamental product survived the entire trip.

I don't know of many other development ecosystems where you can get away with something like this. If we didn't have the stability this ecosystem has to offer, we would not be in business today.

>human drivers, who aren't actually all that great.

A large fraction of human drivers are actually all that great. The majority of accidents/deaths are caused by a minority of terrible drivers, or good drivers who found themselves in terrible but rare circumstances. The majority of drivers drive hundreds of thousands of miles without any accidents that were their fault, or even any accidents at all.

In other words, it's probably easy to beat the mean human driver, which is greatly dragged down by a minority of terrible drivers. It's probably very difficult to beat the median human driver, and near impossible to beat the top 20% of human drivers.

That you wold chose to 'keep your messages' is a little besides the point of those who would opt for more privacy.

Nobody is making the argument you should be forced to delete your messages.

In any normal world, messages that are not used would be deleted as a matter of privacy. They're kept, because they can be kept, and they can be monetized. That monetization has zero benefit to the user, it's just an artifact of our odd way of doing business where we continue to externalize a lot of things. I think over the next 10 years we might see a regulator shift , which also means costs more directly exposed, meaning Discord may cost $1 month, i.e. the externalization 'costed in' like carbon tax on fuels.
As someone that's been a soccer referee, you can tell a lot by the ref's whistle. Just a short hit is usual for an obvious start or restart. For a serious foul, it's a long hard hit. Just from the whistle, you can tell the ref has intentions of issuing a card. My favorites are when the player refuses to acknowledge the ref to "come get your card" whistle calls when the ref is also "I'm not chasing you down". There's entire conversations conveyed by hitting that little whistle.
