As for possibility one...

The aspect to me, that doesn't involve the traditional alien race destroys humanity, is an idea I heard in an astrophysics podcast. It is still pretty terrifying although I guess more sad.

An advanced aliens visited the earth hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years ago, extracted all of the rare compound that allows for their ability to have such an advanced society capable of traveling such distances and just left. We are purposefully being ignored since it is known to the galaxy/universe that we have no way of effectively reaching or communicating with other advanced civilizations.

All of the useful material was extracted so no advanced alien civilizations even have a reason to come and visit.

This matches something closer to what I see out there. US demand may be increasing (though with supply chain whiplash it's likely to be more variable), but world demand (especially China, India, South America) isn't. That doesn't bode well for the inflation "shoot the moon" types. I suspect those inflation fears promoted by media (similar to the uncertainty of Omicron) may come to naught, and we'll wish we had invested more in the country rather than "stores of value".
And so was Spirited Away. And so was even Mononoke Hime. That one was released in 1997. Miyazaki has been serial-retiring for close to 25 years!
Is there a market for a focused, specialized search engine, for example, relatively speaking -- google circa 2010 with all the specialized search operators etc... focused on technical content?

What does the business model look like? Ads (it would be in front of a very valuable audience of technical folks)? Or paid subscriptions (perhaps the community votes which resources get crawled / indexed)

> Unions don't magically create leverage out of thin air. They steal it from those outside the union by constraining the the supply of labor.

That sounds like a perspective from one of Amazon's workplace signs. Union leverage is based on two things (off the top of my head, and afaik): significant control of the labor supply, and the political power of many votes and of many people to advocate for candidates. However, people can join the union; they aren't exclusive clubs.

Much of management's power comes from controlling the job supply and the political power of money, and they use that leverage to their advantage. When we live in a happy world where management stops doing that, I'll agree that unions shouldn't either.
You're right. I knew ext4 is crash consistent even in a read only mode, but after looking it up, ext4 will ignore the read only mount request, replay the journal to disk, then mount in read only mode. So, it doesn't just replay the journal to an in memory structure when mounted read only.

Yes, put [2021] in the title
Multidimensional array construction is something I had looked forward to in Julia. I am not convinced that the approach taken in julia1.7 compares favorably with other language implementations (Ignoring R)
In my view the numpy syntax has more clarity for this task.
[[[1,2],[3,4]],[[5,6],[7,8]]]
compared with
[1 2;3 4;;;5 6;7 8]

It is not immediately clear why [1,2,3,4] is equivalent to [1;2;3;4], but [1,2,,3,4] (and [1,2;3,4] vs [1 2;3 4] ect) is not equivalent to [1;2;;3;4].
For creating a 3d slice, I expected that ";", ";;", ";;;" would each refer to incrementing a specific dimension. Eg, It seems intuitive that if you can create a 2d matrix with [1 2;3 4], then you should be able to make a 3d tensor with [1 2;3 4;;5 6;7 8]
this is fun stuff, my uncle did quite a bit of development on micro cameras

he worked on and made quite a bit on the patent for the first ingestible pill camera, and had some even smaller cameras for other medical devices that were even smaller (and fun to play with when I've visited a few years back)

I also bet many of these lenses can be stacked together to create a nice lightfield display...
Haha, yes, yes, and much more late 80s, early 90s vibes. LucasArts games of that era come to mind and the outro music clearly has a bit of RunDMC in it. Probably a ton of other references I missed.
At this point inflation (if it happens) will most likely be a policy driven affair since growth doesn't seem to be the main driver for monetary expansion at this moment in time. I think there's reasons this could happen with debt to GDP at such historical high levels the only way out of this is to inflate the debt away or to have debt defaults.

> basically the big takeaway that i walked away with was that they defined a sort of pseudoclosure in the guts of the language before the compiler which relaxes some of the behaviors of a closure (ie what gets captured) which then enables the creation of larger optimizable regions for the compiler in the context of doing autodiff.

Yes! That's essentially correct.
How are they not welcome? Did someone say, 'don't post those comments here!'?

If questions and disagreement make your comment 'not welcome', you are indeed in the wrong forum, but not for the reasons you think. ;)
Is Pulsar a good fit for microservices communication ?
I am thinking that maybe doctors/nurses have two factors that cancel out so it makes their infected numbers look like the rest of the population:

- higher exposure

but also

- better, and stricter safety measures that are really followed
The actual elites in the US very, very rarely fall. The remaining Koch brother is as secure as ever, Trump or no, Jan 6 or no. Even Trump is knocking around loose, protected by Secret Service guards. That is what makes events around Epstein and his circle notable.

And, no one will ever say on TV that Gates was in bed with Epstein going back three decades. I have no way to learn the extent of the Koch's engagement. Gates maintains just as high a profile as before.
I remember watching a docu in Netflix about spies where they show a deice that could record and transmit sound, using same technology.

The article makes it sounds like the perpetrators used some high tech hacking to do this. In effect they probably just used some kind of normal screen sharing like msteams did the exam for the client and pressed ok.

Same. Who are these supposed people who don't?
Energy inflation has to happen, but it won't behave like the salary inflation of the 70s and 80s.

Interest rates also behave differently when 99% of "money" is debt.

Debt is GDP which is unrealized monetary inflation because velocity deflation has been equal, all these things are virtual; energy is not!
Agree. We did a recent migration from Kafka (Confluent Platform) to OSS Pulsar for a near identical use case and couldn't have been happier - we've saved costs, improved uptime, and reduced errors. We found it much easier to manage Pulsar ourselves with automation that it mostly removed the need to use a managed Kafka service (we've tried solutions from AWS, Confluent, and Aiven).

The only downside with Pulsar (which is constantly improving) was that community support for teething issues was a bit slower than what we saw with Kafka.
They used Remote Desktop software, as it says in the article. Same way thousands of scams are run, etc. No "hacking" here.
Eh, you probably already have the OS architecture for that. The vendor just isn't using it.

Assuming you have found a drug that is safe and binds the target in the intended way (which itself can take years), you then have to manufacture it according to GMP standards. That takes at least a year and $1 million. Next, you have to run toxicity and pharmacokinetics (how the drug is absorbed and distributed in the body) in two different animal models. That takes 6-12 months and $1-2 million. Then you apply for permission to start phase I trials, and wait for the green light.

One reason RNA drugs are so exciting is that their manufacture is simple and can be standardized, cutting the GMP manufacturing step to a few weeks instead of a year or more. Small-molecule drugs are ”bespoke” in that each needs its own, different, manufacturing process. In contrast, all RNA molecules are essentially chemically identical, differing only in the ordering of the nucleotides.
I initially interpreted this as pg (postgres) let. Still interesting, but slightly disappointed
I’ll be the dissenting voice and say this reads like a “sow discord in the US 101”. Why on earth would the FBI bring both the police and a “threat assessment” coordinator from your work to interview you? Why would your workplace ever agree to it? That screams lawsuit waiting to happen.

And on that note, why didn’t you sue your workplace for harassment? Whether you’re religious or not isn’t any of their business and is a protected class.
Simple explanation is why nobody travels to the stars is that it’s extremely expensive and very useless: you can’t really exist without biome, and building out compatible biome at the far star is very, very hard.
I admire your detailed and thorough analysis. Don't let those with an agenda tamp your energy. Your posts present the most concentrated unbiased information I've seen in any thread about COVID.

Using unbiased information for biased purposes (a lawsuit) does not make the information biased.
Interesting example, but for me it is the exact opposite. Please be brief and to the point, I do not care if you (pretend) to care about my dog.
+1. Very well written.
It's not though. We don't consider America to have a scarcity of food, even though there are people starving there. Food scarcity happens when a region cannot produce its own food.

Shipping food to food scarce regions is not a sustainable solution to the problem of scarcity.
I applied within the last few months, and would swear I had the idle thought that it wasn't a round number like it used to be.

Get a new desk that doesn't face the sun?
Need to make a drug out of the small molecule inhibitor. There is a medicinal chemistry process that takes quite a while (several years at times) to get to something you can actually give to people.

Then there is safety testing in animals. Then regulatory approval. Then starting the phase I trial. The trial might take a year or more. Then you need to show the drug works compared to some standard treatment, which in a phase 3 trial in breast cancer takes 3 years and many hundreds of patients at least. Longer if you want to show it prolongs overall survival. Then the drug needs to be approved.

There is also the matter of funding but there is a lot of money for early stage biotechs at the moment.
Fork, hands down. https://fork.dev
It isn't an absolute fix, but there are some window tinting kits on Amazon that are relatively cheap and don't permanently damage the windows. Might be worth a try! I have in the last made good use of cardboard to block out unhelpful sun exposure as well in a pinch.
> Political radicals have to do a lot of organizing to build a mass constituency that can make really dramatic alterations without empowering the right wing.

This is of the most terrifying statements I’ve heard in a few months, along the lines of people calling for censorship. Thanks for the renewed interest in keeping people like you completely away from politics, I had started to believe people like you didn’t exist.
Yeah my friend has been doing that for about half as long. It still sucks. Some of the modern, immune-based therapies don't make your hair fall out, but they still can wreck your digestive tract, thyroid, and adrenals(in my friend's case, permanently). There are surgeries as well, and getting slowly hacked up as they chase tumor after tumor isn't fun.

Still though, it's a better time to have cancer than ever I suppose.
His son Goro Miyazaki's movies haven't been as well-received as his own movies, I guess he can't let his baby go knowing it won't do as well without him.

If people are having to hire other people to cheat on tests like this, it makes me wonder if it's the system that's broken. Maybe tests aren't the best way to judge somebody's capabilities.

I think cadavers are the typical source. Since there's no blood vessels in it, tissue rejection isn't as much of a concern.

So you binary search the damn thing, and you find the logical culprit in log(N) time if N is the number of clauses, instead of searching linearly.

Like, if they agree what a phone is, you don't need to drill down all the details of what constitutes a phone.

If they disagree, only then traverse the sub-nodes of that.
Granted a bachelors in C.S. (or to less effect in any other major).

Granted x2 you have the funding available to pay for it (much less the time and energy if you have to work to pay for it -- i.e. your parents did not finance your tuition, much less your living costs)

Granted x3 you actually have the mental ability to program at all (it is incredible how much this is taken for granted. No, you cannot just "teach" anyone anywhere off the street to understand programming).

Without the first, you're "relegated" (tongue-in-cheek) to: learning it in your off-time/going to a bootcamp and hustling hard to break into a first role at a most-certainly shitty-place-to-work at an under-market salary (think $60-70k for "mid-level"). If you do not have a low-performance job or a free place to stay, this is very difficult (bills, and the low-skilled work required to pay them, are exhausting).

If you can make it past that insanely high hurdle (see: your circumstances and luck are right), then yes: you too can join the upper middle class if your birth, and all the dominoes that fell after, are "up to the task."

N.B. it becomes vastly more difficult to learn anything at all when you're exhausted after a 10 hour day working (with or without a commute) a depressing job and wondering if you'll have any money left at the end of the month. Those weekends really do nothing at all except leave time to catch up on chores.

Unparalleled? Only on the surface, granted a robust social safety net. Without someone or something to take off the immense pressure of surviving alone, the most likely outcome is a downward-spiral into poor habits: substance abuse, poor diet, free-time spent in idleness to "recharge," poor sleep, etc. that all compound one another, and speed-up the fall into an inescapable pit of being permanently working class. Once in, to leave is an exception that is always hailed as proof of possibility (sweeping under the rug, how low the real probability is).

In this case, one could still semi-honestly say "class mobility" is still alive; but that would only apply to the offspring of our hypothetical working-class stiff (hopefully, who becomes a social safety net for these children -- but I'm not holding my breath).
From my understanding, this test was between strangers, what about between very close people? (partner, child, parent). I can hug my children or partner for minutes. Avid hugger.
I gotta say, our Slack messages are retained for so long I don’t even know what our Slack expiry is set to. This makes our Slack our single best repository of information available, far more likely to yield useful results than Confluence or searching old emails.
> The book in question was an electronics catalog dating from middle of 90's, mainly about diodes and thyristors.

It's certainly the honest thing to do to return it (is you library account still valid?) But I highly doubt they need that book anymore, it's basically the same as trashing it, but with extra steps.

Dealing with the other party's poor communication and sometimes lack of engagement has been the most challenging thing for me over the course of say ten plus years of remote work, mostly for individuals. The secret really is choosing good clients and having good project management. But even if it's a good client, sometimes people are just busy.

The ideal thing is that you have a group of normal people who can log in and respond in a chat room or GitHub issues once or twice a day or so.

Sometimes it makes more sense to just do a phone call or voice meeting. For many people, especially non-technical that is just much easier, and you may get more out of it.

But I have found that some people just are not good at communicating over email, or in a chat room, etc. They can't really focus properly without being in a meeting. Again, non-developers (usually). You might consider just dropping those clients. But for me, I like to try to give each project I start a good chance of success, at least from a technical perspective. So sometimes that means the only working channel is a phone call and I get it once a week. Sometimes that's enough. If its other programmers then you would need to fire them probably.
It's the typical American corporate culture of shuffling responsibility away from yourself, akin to a game of musical chairs.

Notice how most actions here are not designed to maximize productivity and finish the task quickly, but to maximize virtue signaling and to have as much plausible deniability as possible.

Personally, I would go bonkers in such an environment. I have some very harsh words that are best left off HN for people who engage in, perpetuate and sometimes (yes, some managers) encourage this behavior whether by ignorance or by deliberate example.

I suggest reading “federal prisoners handbook” by Chris Zoukis, amazingly informative read. Very dry but it’s well done, he was a prisoner.
