>What we need is carbon rationing. Everyone gets X amount of carbon and prices of things are both in dollars and carbon rations. The rich, who use most of the carbon will have to buy from the poor who use very little. These rations will become more expensive over time until people don't get anymore. So they will only be able to buy things that are carbon neutral/carbon free.

When you talk about "carbon rations," are you referring just to fossil fuels and petroleum-based products? Or are you referring to everything that contains carbon?

Given that life here is just brimming with carbon (we are, after all, carbon-based life), does that "carbon ration" include food? Pets? Yeast?

I'm not being snarky here, but it's not clear to me what exactly you mean. If you'd expand on that, it would be much appreciated.
Think like an ordinary person. You know, an ordinary person who would say that they weigh about 80 kilograms. Only science nerds would say that they mass about 80 kilograms, or that they weigh about 785 Newtons. Similarly, anyone who's used to living with US customary (or Imperial) units understands that a pound of force is what a pound of mass weighs and would see no reason, under any circumstances, why anyone would want to divide the gravitational acceleration out of a pound-foot to arrive at a "real" torque value. When the pound value is expressing a weight-equivalent force, that force is the force of a pound under normal gravitational acceleration at or near the surface of the Earth.
> Why is the origin of this data not validating against the actual data from the DB before sending data?

It's on the client side, so it can't hold an open transaction with the server. It can validate against a previous version of the list of cities, but there's always the possibility of a delete happening in parallel.

(And if your answer is to use a delete flag rather than actually deleting a row, then you're undermining the referential integrity constraints that were supposed to be the whole point of using a relational database)
This is correct. As a salaried employee, I am paid for my loyalty in the way a nurse is not. In exchange for a fixed yearly sum, I promise my employer to basically have their interests at heart and work only for them, which we agree, for reasonableness' sake, means about 40 hours / week. In reality, most salaried employees work much less. My dad was in sales my whole life until he retired, and he never worked an actual 9 - 5 week in his entire sales career. After schmoozing, calling, marketing, etc, he'd come home and take a nap or play with us.

IMO, the 40 hour work week is mainly a problem in a certain subset of high-achieving, highly educated employees, be they engineers, consultants, attorneys, etc. It's their own internal shame mechanisms which make them work 40 hours / week
Use tools that make it harder. Immutable datastructures, side effects constrained to a few places, good static typing etc.

It’s very easy to set something up for the first time.

It’s a bit complex to keep something running for a long time.

It’s very difficult to make something fault tolerant with no data loss or corruption.

Arrogance is thinking that these things are easy because you can read a quickstart.
microwaves use it because water absorbs it + multiple wavelengths can fit inside the oven for even heating + easy to produce without fancy electronics

> when I think they mean dBmw (an absolute measurement).

I think you may mean dBm or dBmW here. 0dBm == 1mW.

The SI symbol for Watt is ‘W’ not ‘w’.

At 2.4GHz, free space path loss is -41dB at 1m, so even a 20dBm radio and a 20dBi directional antenna (and assuming 0dB of insertion loss), the signal strength at 1m is -1dBm, or about 0.79 mW.

At 3m, the free space path loss is nearly -50dB. Now the signal from the setup above is at -10dBm, or 0.1mW.

Clickhouse is a really great piece of technology, especially for general OLAP.

But for time-series workloads, we've found that the results are quite close, with TimescaleDB outperforming Clickhouse for many different types of query workloads. We'll be sharing our results soon.
TaleSpire beautiful but I've always found I actually want something simple for RPG playing which is why so many players are using tools like Roll20. In my experience not handling rules is a strength though, as someone who wants to try new RPGs and plays with homebrew the platforms that run the rules for me work against me because unless I implement every homebrew weapon, creature, etc. into the application I'm double checking every roll anyway.

I built my own entry into the VTT space with that in mind before the pandemic with Tableplop[1] when I wasn't happy with the front ends on what was available at the time. My aim is something free, solid and always online to move tokens about a map with fog of war and a simple dice roll syntax. The 2d maps have a lot of weaknesses in judging heights and especially with flying creatures but it's unbeatable for the number of existing assets and maps and for making your own with something like DungeonDraft[2] or DungeonScrawl[3]. 2d also makes it easier to draw lines on a map on the fly and will in the gaps with imagination when you need to improvize, something that does not translate to 3d very well but is the epitome of RPGs for me.

2021 Nobel Prize in physics: here’s how study of complex systems changed science
It doesn't have to run Linux.
While a different application than shown here, my project management class taught me one of the biggest benefits of Monte Carlo simulation - estimating uncertainty.

Traditionally, net present value calculations are done with single point estimates. For example, analyzing a rental property we want to buy, we'd estimate the vacancy rate, interest rate, property appreciation, maintenance expenses, and do all of that on a cash flow time-adjusted basis.

There's variability on every aspect of the through, and understanding how much can easily swing your decision.

Traditional methodology is to pull the trigger on the action if the net present value is greater than 0. We put in a variety of estimated factors, ran it through Crystal Ball (simulation software), and found a 75% chance the NPV would be negative. It suddenly isn't the safe investment it looked like originally.

---

In practice, it's tough to get people in business to understand uncertainty. They gravitate towards "the number", which is almost surely wrong all the time.
Are you on a cloud provider?

I’ve not had issues with EBS/AWS, and affinity configs meant it was really easy to spread nodes throughout AZ’s.

On Azure though, volume mounts/unmounts were an absolute dumpster fire.
It is a great discover I agree, it might not quite fit in the list because it's not so counterintuitive for someone not into particle physics though.

There are actually many examples of things working different for the mirror image, e.g. many medical/chemical compounds work differently based on chirality.

The topic of chirality is fascinating, one of the big puzzles in nature is for example why it so strongly prefers right-handedness.
Sadly lots of modern sites break it completely. I regularly have issues getting back to HN threads from websites, usually I end up at the HN home instead. Quite frustrating.
It was partly because I was looking to improve self-play and training tractability on a home desktop with 1 GPU (complete failure), and partly to learn about everything from scratch. I would be interested to see how strong it is with the same search but with Leela's inference backend (for GPU at least) and network.

In terms of search-into-commentary, concatenating like that may be interesting, as long as it can learn to map across - definitely plausible without too much work. I was originally thinking of something more complicated, combining multiple raw network outputs across the tree through some kind of trained weighting, or additional model via recurrence, and punted it.

Ignore my BLEU comment, mixed those up between replies - that was the other potential use of search trees for commentary, an MCTS/PUCT-style alternative to traditional sequential top-k/top-p sampling, once you have logits and are deciding which paragraph to generate.

Thanks!
Why would you want to "manage" it, what's wrong with dwindling population? You can use robots or foreign workers for limited time to do some jobs if you have a shortage but eventually it will balance itself, the same way it was before the growth of population.

>I think it's possible to run a profitable social media company that does care.

No. Due to network effect successful company must be large, and the large company lives by different rules. FB for example is a trillion dollar company. It is like a TeV energy level in physics. Different behavior of matter. At those energy levels chemistry for example just doesn't exist, and matter itself changes as protons break apart. Ethics in big business is like chemistry in high energy physics - it just doesn't exist at those levels of money. At these levels they can be affected only by comparable level of money or power, like the government power.
How can someone rigorously prove that? E.g. perhaps there is something inside quarks that has chirality which we haven't discovered yet.

1800MHz is not that close to 2450MHz. Behavior in air is different, for one, and the properties that dictate this, the vibrational modes of atoms and so on, are extremely selective.
for OOM you do have a lot of flexibility with containers/control groups, nowadays. What kind of problems were they solving with the scheduler? I anything known about that?
I think the central misconception is summed up in this sentence:

>Since there you don't really encounter anything different in terms of race/nationality/religion on daily basis, or even in a life time, you really don't have any negative association with someone who is new race/language/religion, it's like you have no data.

What you're missing is that someone could very easily have racist tendencies in a homogeneous society. As you indicate in your post, people in homogeneous countries are just as quick to stereotype each other based on wealth, dialect, and so on. This sounds an awful lot like racism, except you replace the word race with any other personal attribute. Stereotyping a person based on how they talk or what their parents do is remarkably similar to stereotyping them based on their race.

>Like when I see the person, first few things I see are they angry, something in their hand, expensive clothes, are they worried, what do they do, what are they doing, what are they thinking...

So when you see a person, you're using their personal attributes to make some assumptions about them? Knowing that a person has expensive clothes tells me almost nothing about them as a person.
The a major cause of a ‘weak bladder’ outside of prostate issues is urge incontinence, that is, just paying way too much attention to the sensation of needing to urinate and so having increased frequency due to that. In order to overcome this, it’s essentially training yourself to push longer and longer in order to reset your sensitisation.

Of course, obvious disclaimer that I have no idea if this applies to you and your situation, but something to consider if you haven’t had this investigated. But keto with increased hydration could have inadvertently sent you this way
Nah, he's really smart, but implying 1T is a measure of his genius is ridiculous. Not only does it downplay the massive contributions of hundreds of people including Peter Thiel and Cheryl Sandberg, but it ignores the market conditions that led to thefacebook.com going viral, not to mention the Winklevosses, who got paid billions in today's valuation. Do you believe that if Zuck never met the Winklevosses, he would have necessarily built a 1T company anyway, because quantity X of genius must necessarily manifest to F(X) valuation? I think the market violently disagrees with you.

Not exactly right - seems like we could have clarified the difference more :-)

We have two cloud products, Timescale Cloud (which is what this post is discussing), and Managed Service for TimescaleDB (MST), which is what you are also referencing.

Also, as we say in the post:

Some of you may remember that we launched the first “Timescale Cloud” 2.5 years ago, as the world’s first fully-managed time-series database-as-a-service on AWS, GCP, Azure. That product is alive and well, and fully supported as before, but is now called “Managed Service for TimescaleDB”.

We're investing in and maintaining both. They are just different products, depending on what you are looking for.
That'd basically what Stalin did in 1946, prohibiting Soviet citizens marrying foreigners.

Bow we can see this matrimonial novation alive and feeling well in Singapore. I wonder what happens if you go to Thailand and marry there.

I'm also not sure how it is going to work since citizen/PRs seem to be able to bring spouses in. Is it "unless they are already in Singapore and of low caste"?
Wow. I wanted to see something like this for as far back as I can remember. Thank you for creating this beauty!

Funny how concrete walls are just a last chapter low content part. Most of us Europeans fight very hard battles against concrete walls and using the right anchor is quite a thing.
I really want intermittent fasting and low carb diets to have the benefits claimed, but having done both for extended periods on and off for years, if I'm perfectly honest with myself, the truth is I haven't seen any benefit at all, and a careful review of research in humans as opposed to rodents seems unable to back either of them up.

Low carb especially for me anyway leads to undesired hormonal states with SHBG through the roof and just general prolonged brain fog and low performance and energy. (the opposite of what advocates claim)

I do believe doing the occassional extended two-three day fasts for autophagy can be beneficial and anectodally I do see beneficial effects from those... but other than that I just eat varied healthy food usually three meals a day and I find that works best for my mental and physical performance, body composition etc. YMMV!

That's an extremely pessimistic view of regulation. Somehow other industries manage to do fine despite it. In the EU, GDPR somehow hasn't snuffed out all small businesses.

What do you do when your future tasks are unknown or ambiguous?

For example, at my day job my task is to implement banking. The day to day tasks change... day to day. There aren't a "number of tasks remaining in the queue," since whatever I'm doing is what I'm doing.

One could say this is poor planning. But due to the nature of Big Banks, each task is usually blocking the next one -- in other words, it's not possible to discover or plan what you need to do next, until you've finished currently.

An example of this is when we realized we didn't need to run our banking API using $BigBank's test environment. Their test environment was ... uh ... well, let's just say, when we realized that we could simply switch on "production mode" and bypass their test environment altogether, we collectively facepalmed while rejoicing.

It wouldn't be possible to add "switch to the production environment" into the queue several days ago, because we didn't discover that we could do that until yesterday during our biweekly sync call.

I'm sympathetic to your writeup, and I like your recommended approach. But I just wanted to point out a realistic case of it failing. But in fairness, I think every estimation approach would fail us, so don't feel singled out. :)

Perhaps your approach will work in most cases though, and I'm merely stuck in a twilight zone special case.
