> What makes this book different? We feel there are two key features that make it stand out: its strong focus on the relational model, and its thorough treatment of type theory (and together, of course, the relational model and type theory are precisely the foundations referred to in the previous paragraph). To amplify:

> * The relational model: We must stress that what we are not doing is proposing some kind of “new” or “extended” relational model. Rather, we are concerned with what might be called the “classical” version of that model; we have tried to provide as careful and accurate a description of that classical model as we possibly can. It is true that we have taken the opportunity to dot a few i’s and cross a few t’s (i.e., to perform a few minor tidying activities here and there); however, the model as we describe it departs in no essential respects from Codd’s original vision as documented in references [20-22]. (Indeed, we even toyed at one point with the idea of calling the book A Relational Model of Data for Large Shared Data Banks.)

> * Type theory: Relations in the relational model have attributes, and those attributes in turn have types (also called domains). Thus, the relational model certainly assumes that types exist. However, it nowhere says just what those types must be, nor does it have much to say about what properties those types must have; in other words, the relational model and type theory are almost completely independent of each other (they are orthogonal, to use the jargon). In this book, we present a detailed theory of types that complements the relational model, and we explore some of its implications. In particular, we show that our type theory serves as a basis for a comprehensive model of type inheritance.

That sounds like petty criticism to me.

What exactly is "true weather prediction" then? Using a crystal ball?

And yes, extrapolation is not new, but deep learning is just much better at it.

> labeling things as “AI” that are just rather basic data analytics

They are using a GAN to do this, you can't get more AI than this. If this is not AI, then what is?

Getting accurate short term predictions is very valuable for e.g. prediction of solar panels energy production to avoid starting coal peaker plants, or to predict flooding.

I get that it's popular to dunk on anything called AI to show that you have not fallen prey to the PR bullshit machine, but in that case, it's 100% unwarranted in my opinion.

The term to research is cultural appropriation. [ assuming your opponent is ignorant of this -- d. ]

You have your opinion on to what degree this might be a problematic instance of cultural appropriation, and I have my opinion (which I haven't stated). [ as we see above, the opinion has been clearly stated -- d. ]

But it is important for people like you [ assuming I know nothing/little/not enough about cultural appropriation -- d. ] and me to be aware of the concept and issue in general

Bed capacity is mostly a synonym for worker capacity. When people talk about hospitals being "full" they don't mean literally physically full - that's why the emergency hospitals that were built never got used even though the press keep telling you that hospitals are overflowing. Here's a random recent example of such an article:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/covid-vaccine-mandate-h...

"Across the country, health-care systems that have instituted mandates have seen some workers leave or be terminated over their refusal to get the shot, exacerbating a shortage in skilled nursing and bedside care."

Another: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/new-york-hospitals-face-sta...

"NEW YORK, Sept 27 (Reuters) - New York hospitals on Monday began firing or suspending healthcare workers for defying a state order to get the COVID-19 vaccine, and resulting staff shortages prompted some hospitals to postpone elective surgeries or curtail services ... Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo suspended elective inpatient surgeries and had stopped accepting intensive-care patients from other hospitals as it prepares to fire hundreds of unvaccinated employees, a spokesman Peter Cutler said."

Note: before they were OK, accepting ICU patients and doing elective surgeries. After: they can't handle electives or ICU intake anymore. That isn't being caused by unvaccinated people getting so sick they're flooding out all the other operations, it's caused by hospitals being forced to shed staff.

At any rate, isolated hospitals can easily run out of staffed beds for many reasons and this is a phenomenon that predates COVID. That's why there are stories about overflowing hospitals from the flu in pre-COVID years. As the article notes there were already problems but this is now making it worse.

So staffing levels are not genuinely a COVID problem, let alone an unvaccinated COVID problem. If it were true that unvaccinated COVID = overflow then it'd be the case everywhere. Look at the Swiss dashboard:

https://www.covid19.admin.ch/en/hosp-capacity/total

COVID utilization is low during the entire pandemic, with ~25% at its peak (but still lots of spare beds, i.e. a lot of these cases are infections of people already there for something else). There has never been a time throughout the whole two years when there wasn't plenty of spare capacity - in fact they've been reducing the number of beds allocated to ICU during 2021 because the level of nursing care required for them is expensive.

Now look at vaccination rate on the same dashboard. Only 64% of the population has even taken one dose. Yet, the hospitals are fine and there are thousands of free beds. There is nothing magical about the Swiss people or hospitals. You can find similar graphs for US regions, I think (I am just less familiar with them). Rather, looking at the raw data tells a very different story to what the press and governments are telling.

It doesn't need to be panic buying, a relatively small increase in demand - 10-20% - can already put a lot of strain on the system.

Likely it is legislation, but probably it's required testing for certain permits or environmental reasons and then that testing gets reported.

I live in upstate NY and I've never heard of anyone testing for PFAS. In our schools they do bi-yearly drinking water tests for lead and a handful of other things, but not PFAS.

It also just might be where chemical plants or recycling centers are located. My brother used to work at a chemical recycling plant in New Jersey, there's a LOT of those kinds of plants in New Jersey. Surely the goal is 0 spills or accidental dumping but there's no way that's 100% fool proof so surely where this stuff has been created/treated/recycled there's going to be higher concentrations.

> You see this with the customer experience on repairs.

Most complaints about experience with repairs are more about how long it takes because of limited service centers, not actually bad service or overly broken cars.

On the other hand, many people have a really great experience as well. The mobile service is absurdly popular and make many repairs 10x better then what basically anybody else has.

In terms of 'check this individual horror story', you can find those for every car maker.

I have not yet seen any systematic real analysis on costumer experience for repair. The evidence seems to be based on individual stories.

Partly I think because Tesla is so integrated all repair problems are more directly associate with the company, while for other companies you just had a bad dealer experience.

I honestly don't know how to evaluate this in any systematic way, 'my friend had X problem with Tesla Service' is not good enough.

Most libraries are completely unusable in those environments, including most C libraries.

Busted Kerning Almost Everywhere.

Maybe it is different on a Mac, but on Windows automatic kerning is busted on everything from Powerpoint to Adobe Illustrator.

I've noticed that serifed fonts have gone out of style and part of the reason is that serifs look like meaningless junk unless the spacing of the characters is right. I was struggling with this and had my epiphany when I was reading a book that was set in "Palatino" which had beautiful curved serifs on the "r" that practically made love to the curves on the "s" and "e".

Then I looked at the various "Palatino" fonts on my computer and found that the shape of the serifs didn't work like that at all, even when I kerned manually.

But I did perfect manual kerning with Powerpoint and now I set signs in serifed fonts that I'm not ashamed of.

There's bad intelligence, and there's intelligence so bad and with evidence so thin or nonexistent that you know it's a fabrication.
if you can actually hack linux, and you can't get a job, or can't get a job you like, etc. -- something else is going on.

that i've seen, most programmers who can't find work are either not real programmers, or not interested in it anymore/burned out, or are applying to FAANG and thinking they should be shoe-ins when all they know is some javascript and didn't even go to an elite school nor have connections.

i think very small tech-focused startups often want/need legit stars, but once a company size is 200+, they'll take warm bodies who can code and occasionally show up to work sober.

The national grid is barely keeping up with current demand for electricity, I will be astounded if we manage to pull off anything nearing a reasonable solution to electrifying private vehicles.

With the government imposing a ban on the manufacture of ICE vehicles this decade, we have an upper limit of what, 20 years before ICE vehicles are being run into the ground?

Great for ICE mechanics in the UK I suppose.

My dad recently retired from a team building substations all over the UK, using equipment from a well-respected European vendor, he noted that the contract has now gone to someone else making inferior equipment which he and other retired/semi-retired members of his team have been called back in to help rectify, in part because the skills and experience required exist with a very select few old-guard who've been doing the job for decades.

Aside from that potentially not going well in the log run, I don't see how we can be ready, or even close to ready for electrification of private vehicles unless every parking space in the country becomes a charging point and huge additional power supplies are created.

The Shell garage near my home, in a London borough is so far from anything useful, that if you manage to get one of the 3 electric charging stations there, you're either grabbing an Uber to head somewhere, or waiting in your car until it's charged, how are we going to work around the productivity decline of having to wait hours to charge up?

Don't get me wrong, I would absolutely love to own and drive an EV but it's so impractical that I can't even consider it.

It's an interesting problem that will be entertaining to watch play out, one way or another.

I've worked at Xerox and in the Kodak sites around Rochester, NY, USA. They're all EPA Superfund sites. Surely there's negative health impacts of working on contaminated ground, but MANYMANY* high tech locations in the USA are EPA Superfund sites due to that's where the tech was created and the buildings and infrastructure were already present, so current tech companies just keep using them. Most of the buildings I had worked in had regular tap water testing performed and if any test came back with too high of levels then water filters were installed. I'm sure Apple does similar.

Xerox even has a bunch of patents about how to suck up and treat ground water.
