Do you want to see people in person specifically or just be more social? As a senior IC, over the last year I've actually become kind of overwhelmed with meetings and Slack rooms because the nature/scope of my work is across so many teams, and I'm curious if you think this would be enough for you, or you'd still find it isolating.

I work in a platform engineering organization on internal tools, which means basically the entire engineering org are my "customers". At the moment I'm in a weekly meeting on OS-level configuration. I started a weekly meeting on our build system which has turned into a reading group of Google's SWE book. Our larger group (everyone under my boss's boss) has a weekly presentation series. I have a variety of less-frequent meetings, including a 1:1 with another engineer in a very different part of the org, some cross-team meetings, etc. And I regularly have all sorts of ad-hoc meetings. I do interviews pretty frequently. So it feels like I'm spending most of the day talking to people; I actually have very few blocks of time for writing code (let alone reviewing code or reading/writing docs) by myself.

I mean, maybe I'm just an introvert who's in an extraverted culture, and to you, this would also count as isolated and boring :)
Over a long enough timeline, the likelihood of both vaccinated and unvaccinated people catching SARS-CoV-2 (the virus) is essentially 100%. Vaccination significantly reduces the risk of severe COVID-19 (the clinical disease) symptoms, at least for a while.

Neither. From TFA:

"While the latest experiment still required more energy in than it got out, it is the first suspected to reach the crucial stage of ‘ignition’, which allowed considerably more energy to be produced than ever before, and paves the way for ‘break even’, where the energy in is matched by the energy out."

Here [1] is an excellent video by Sabine Hossenfelder about why you should not get too excited about this result.

I like that metaphor that Facebook could be this time's opium export. The US exported intellectual opium, but we suffer from it too. We did it to ourselves though in the us, instead of someone making us use it (or did russia push into this along with cambridge analytica - this crazy example almost pans out).

>I think some researchers are refusing to accept the idea that machine learning is very much an experimental science today, and the (very cool) mathematics of kernels, SVMs, empirical risk minimization, bayesian statistics, etc. are simply no longer useful in the large scale regime.

The same statement could have been said of neural networks for a decades, but researchers poking at corners eventually found methods to turn them into the useful tools they are now. After all, those methods you downplay were created since neural networks were not useful at that time, whereas many of these were.

I'd not poo poo what researchers decide to poke at. Pretty much every breakthrough is people poking at the edges of understanding. If solutions or steps were straightforward, then it would be engineering, not research.

>My prediction is that t

Mine is that neural networks as we understand them now get replaced by much more solid methods, based on the principles from scientific machine learning, where sophisticated differentiable models that are designed to mimic the problem space get tuned. After all, even current neural networks are heading that direction. Neural networks are simply too simplistic to capture lots of the complexity that problems demand (hence the current move past them in many domains).

Gluing linear functions together ad-hoc is simply a low level approximation to what can be developed using centuries of powerful mathematics to make models.

Interesting — I hadn't previously connected those dots; it's been years since I used Scribe and only recently did I start using LaTeX (mostly with org-mode as a front end, delving into LaTeX only as needed).

Thanks for the link to the Lamport interview, which was illuminating.
Nature Communications is not Nature. But whatever.
For the studies I've read, most long term damage appears to be caused by viral concentrations in disparate organs, as a result of uncontrolled infection (i.e. insufficient natural or vaccinated immune system effectiveness to keep it under control).

From reasoning, kids have stronger innate immune systems, but weaker adaptive immune systems, so we shouldn't see as many "runaway COVID" cases with organ damage, because the infection is blunted by their initial, innate response.

That said, if kids end up being an unvaccinated population for SARS-CoV-2... well, that's playing dice with evolution.

Safer/easier to keep the .git somewhere else entirely, rather than in the working directory. Git's got arguments that let you do that. Then you can check out to a dir that doesn't have the .git dir in it at all.

Alternatively, it's pretty easy to use git-archive (optionally, with an exclusions list to keep out files you don't want to serve publicly) to do something similar without ever cloning the remote repo. You can fetch a zip or tar.gz with a given commit's files, straight from a remote repo.

I was trying to do this exact thing on the Lowe's mobile website the other day and found it totally impossible. I kept thinking, "why isn't the aisle this is located in highlighted in huge text?

Turns out I was probably thinking of the Home Depot website, which does prominently display this info.

>Right because you are now importing prefab assemblies produced from other countries, and using off the shelf bulk produced components like drywall. That supply chain DOES require significantly more people.

Yet those people pump out much more per worker.

>Well I guess you could go destroy the MRI machines that require a steady pure helium stream, unplug the 400+ computerized monitors that are centrally linked back to nurses stations, or get rid of all the neat robotics that allow non-invasive surgery and save some cash.

Why assume that I meant "destroy everything good"? Why not just remove the insane proliferation of profit-seeking middlemen in Merican healthcare? Pretty much every other first world country manages this fine, and uses less money to get better outcomes! How's the US life expectancy, again?

>Please go share this opinion with your real estate brokers. Ask them what they do with all their free time that they have so much of apparently.

Where did you get the idea that I'm saying that they have free time? They're very busy selling one another houses, and they are able to busily perform this profoundly useless economic "activity" because our society needs so little physical manpower to continue, as compared to, say, that of the 20th century.

>Cheap per unit doesn't mean cheap to produce from scratch. You can't go buy a machine shop and crank out modern ovens. Let's not even get into safety testing.

No, but it means cheap per unit.

>Not a boat guy, sorry.

So why assume that I am? It makes you look like an asshole!

>You are about a hundred years behind in your understanding of economics. Production doesn't mean spinning yarn in your cottage. The broker managing real estate contracts is doing work the same way the person assembling surgical robots is doing. Life is no longer about building wooden cabins on land you claimed by fencing it off only to have your house burn down when your open top oil lamp turns over and catches your flammable ass bedding.

Solo founder here. (Typed on my phone)

I’ve been running my small company for 4 years so far. It’s a podcast search engine & api.

Product & infra & Devop & all kinds of manual processes all evolve over the past 4 years. Things were added / improved on demand.

4 years ago: 3 digital ocean instances + ssh to manually deploy code. No users. So no devops.

Now:

- ~20 EC2 instances, provisioned via ansible

- to deploy code: run a bash script on my MacBook, which is actually to run ansible. The script can also rollback to any specific git sha

- use rollbar + Datadog + PagerDuty for monitoring & alerting

- 3 Postgres database EC2 instances (1 master, 2 slaves). Daily cron job to automatically upload db dump to aws s3 and google cloud storage

- no CI. No docker / kubernatte

- a few interesting devop events are sent to slack, so I’m aware of what’s going on for the entire system on my phone. Eg, when a db dump was successfully uploaded to s3, when a Django request is slower than 5 seconds, when an important cron job fails…

Not very sophisticated, right? But in practice, we rarely have outages and spend very little time to do devops.

The most annoying thing was to upgrade Postgres to a new version. We had to prepare for an entire week and minimize downtime (in practice, disable db write for < 1 minute or so).

I've always wondered why CPU AIO coolers are so prevalent, but GPUs almost exclusively use air coolers. We're nearing a point where GPUs will have a TDP >2X the hungriest CPU (Threadripper), but the cooling used by most is far less effective.

It's especially noticeable in smaller builds like those using mini-itx. Most of them GPU coolers draw air in from the bottom and exhaust out the sides, which doesn't really fit well the usual PC case airflow setup of draw cool air in the front and exhaust out the back and top. It seems like blower style coolers are also getting harder to find.

I'm hoping my next PC can have an AIO at the intake connected to the GPU, and a large air cooler for the CPU. That makes way more sense to me than having the AIO on the CPU and an air cooler on the GPU...
ECS gives you pretty much everything K8S gives you, in a fully managed package. Obviously you can't (simply) run ECS in development, but sticking with Docker Compose keeps the semantics close enough, as well as giving you advantage of clean separation from any other code on your machine.

The difficulty is that the immune system is not linear. I am far from being an expert, but terms like ADE and original antigenic sin are part of the literature. This is not to say which approach is better, it is only a caveat that thinking in additive terms is just an approximation.

> I trust my immune system more than I trust whatever the vaccine does

Uhh…this is what a vaccine does. It shows your immune system what a disease looks like, lets it do it’s thing to discover a solution…so that it has a hashmap to a solution ready to go rather than than needing to iterate over the entire database and apply iterative mutations to the best solutions in order to find a successful match.

What in the world do you think a vaccine is? It’s letting your immune system do it’s thing. It’s trusting your immune system to know what to do!

What in the world do you think a vaccine is? Vaccine-based immunity is natural immunity.

It looks like there's 100 lamps. If they have regular 20W bulbs in them like any lava lamp, then that's just 2kW being used for this. Not nothing, but in an office it might as well be. That's less than a single AC unit. If you want to save energy in an office start by switching off equipment at night.
Hmm, the Japanese monarchy is one of the ones I like better. If anything I feel bad for them.

You only have to look at the Japanese publics reaction to the princess Mako deciding to marry a guy that happens to have an estranged father.

Now he’s caught up in it as well, and the public went wild over his hairstyle a few weeks back. I can totally see why they’re moving to the US basically right after marriage.

Life as Japanese royalty has very few upsides, and a ton of downsides. It’s really more of an obligation you cannot rid yourself of.

I like to imagine them as having loads of fun outside the public eye though.

GP was suggesting that emperor/天皇 may not have martial connotations in Japan, I'm pointing out that it does. As a perhaps better example, Japan's official name is now the bland State of Japan 日本国, and the old Great Japanese Empire 大日本帝国 sounds positively jingoistic.

And FWIW, it's not particularly hard to find fringe groups in Tokyo that proclaim their devotion to the Emperor from black vans equipped with loudspeakers.

"Emperor" is an English word, referring to the ruler of an empire. It is derived from the Latin title "imperator" (meaning commander; same root as the word "imperative").

The Old French connection is interesting - thanks. I guess most English words derived from Latin arrived via Old French. But this doesn't shed any light on why the Japanese Emperor is called an emperor in English. He's called an emperor because he rules an empire.

As I understand it, the emperor of Japan ruled over a number of subordinate, regional rulers, right up until the late 19th C. I understand "emperor" to mean a person who rules over kings, which is what the Emperor of Japan did. Why do I need to get involved with Japanese semantics, when the word we are discussing is an English word, being used correctly to refer to a ruler over kings?

So if we're speaking of a ruler over kings, how's that different from the Emperor Napoleon, or the Empress of India?

Ruling over kings implies dominating the armies of those kings (a king with no army is known as an "exile"). You can't maintain an empire without at least threatening martial force. Nearly all emperors have been fighting men - either to establish the empire, or to maintain it. Emperors with no army get deposed, or the empire disintegrates.
