I imagine that the costs to run this would outweight the potential marketing benefits, but it'd be amazing to see Algolia take this project on to benefit everyone.

The Wayback Machine's data is ~20PB..? What is approximately the size of the indexable text (i.e. the text content of html pages, sans tags)? And what would the index size be like, approximately?

I imagine that creating (and maintaining, of course) the index would be the most time-consuming part? Is it at all possible to imagine hosting this index... somewhere... and doing sqlite http range-like queries on it..?

Would it be enough to have an index consist of a list of found words, and the related "document ids"? i.e. "apple" is in doc ids 1000, 2000, 3000, "banana" is in doc ids 2000, 4000, etc.?

And have separate docid -> archive.org url mapping?
To some extent yep. The media companies overplayed their hand and made it too expensive or annoying to keep up with.
I'm worried we're going to find an epigenetic time bomb in destroying all senescent cells. These cells aren't just old, they remember our old life. Some adaptations to past trauma save us from further trauma. Others are more maladaptive.

If this vaccine causes the immune system to 'forget' by killing off B cells, then you may have to get a booster shot for every vaccine you've ever had. That may not sound like a big deal but that creates a class division for longevity treatments. I could afford to take a month off, quarantine myself and get twenty booster shots. Some of my neighbors can't, so either they risk getting sick or they don't take the treatment at all.

Science fiction has always asserted there would be class divisions in these sorts of treatments, so perhaps that's not a surprise.
So you made up something that I said or did and then framed it as my fault (something "not resonating" with me) and then want to claim that you're being gracious and discussing from a place of good intent. What un-checked assumptions am I making? Everyone that has responded to me and disagree with me has done so on the principle that this small dot is a "showstopper" that makes their setup "unusable" (it's literally in the title of the article in the OP). All my comments and responses are based on those statements, no assumptions. The difference is that these people feel that it is Apple's responsibility to fix the issues they're having without taking any responsibility of their ignorance on themselves.

And you're right... I haven't been reading your comments from that kind of orientation because your very first comment to me claimed that I had somewhere let someone know that their experience was invalid, which I never did, or that I had somehow claimed that people's realized experiences were far-fetched, which I also never did. How can I assume graciousness and good intent from someone who didn't assume the same of me and then went out of their way to mis-frame what I have been saying? The only time I ever even suggested that something was far-fetched were the people who were claiming that something like this would affect productions like SNL or Mariah Carey on NYE because those are far-fetched suggestions.

That's fine not to continue but please don't pretend that I was the one that engaged with you "like this". You initiated the current conversation, including its tone and intent.

Take care. I hope the new year treats you well.
Because of tradeoffs. A brick is more resilient than a human, that doesn’t make it better.
I imagine two SE incomes would result in ~50% marginal tax rate in CA if not AMT. Wouldn't it reduce the incentive?
I think it is just a proof of concept. If you don't have covid you would have to infect yourself to fake a negative test. Faking a positive test proves that it is possible to fake a negative.
Diminishing expectations and diminishing commitments are a major issue in our lives, not the minor problem like it seems. I suspect that we all have that problem.

Every day I read my mission statement. Among other things it reminds me that "I repeatedly reject diminishing expectations and diminishing commitments, and that I will frequently refresh my positive expectations and commitments."

Then I read a list of my current projects noting progress, what my next step is, and why this is important. I don't always do this well, but this is what I strive to do.

I also think that you have unrealistic expectations. You seem to be trying too much. I know I have that problem. It hurts like ** to give up on things I would like to do, but I can't do them all.
I definitely will use it as my primary server language on side projects after it has a standardized async lib (effect handlers and eio). I was also hoping that rust would be my primary lang but its a little too verbose with all the "<>" for it to be my guilty pleasure. Been dabbling in OCaml since 2018.
That range probably doesn't satisfy the requirements of the new law:

> They often don't do what the majority wants or is best for them.

"The majority" doesn't want exactly the same things, they agreed on some thing or two that was prioritary and deserved the vote.

> * In most european states the government doesn't actually have >50% of the votes.

Really? How is that?

> There are things that are moral that the majority wants to be illegal (such as homosexual relationships until a few years ago).

That is simply not true, the majority just wants that puberty blockers don't be provided to children.

Didn't understand your last point sorry (non native)
> Once again, I am speaking generally and not about this specific accident. We have no idea how any other person or car would perform in this exact situation and I don't see much value in speculating.

But we have an NHTSA complaint documenting 11 other accidents of this form. That is, a stopped car in front of a Tesla that was provably on Autopilot. And then the Tesla crashes into the stopped car (most commonly: emergency vehicles like Firetrucks or Police cars). EDIT: These other examples from NHTSA were in broad-daylight, with flashing lights, at night, and a variety of different situations. So something is definitely wrong here.

And who knows about all the other situations where a crash was going to happen but the driver took emergency action and saved the day.

-----

This accident, the one in the twitter post, as well as the 11 other documented cases in the NHTSA investigation, prove that there's a systemic problem with the technology.

There are probably other accidents too where the emergency braking should have worked but aren't documented yet.

------

This is no longer a Rusell's Teapot scenario. We've got 12-examples (11 from the NHTSA complaint, and +1 from this Twitter thread / Twitter video). We've got the examples, live on camera. We can absolutely say without a doubt that Teslas have difficulty in this case.
I mean I feel like it depends on what you're looking to get out of the project?

If you're looking to up your skills in a new language or just "try" the new activity, then it makes sense that you would quit a few months later: you've acquired what you wanted.

If you wanted to keep going and pursue that activity for longer, I think it's a matter of not making the activity conditional on it "satisfying" you because as someone mentioned in another comment, you'll lose that initial dopamine hit once the activity becomes familiar (or boring): so the solution imo is to actively decide that whether you enjoy it or not, you will do X. And that's just a matter of learning to commit to something.

I used to be all over the place and chase new ideas over existing projects all the time, but it wasn't until I made a decision that OK I'm going to stick with this no matter what (at least for a period of time) that I started finding success. Now I think consistency is 80% of success.

Another thing I find useful to keep going is to find a way to keep getting small "wins" every now and then in the journey: the small wins make you feel like the past time invested was worth it and make my brain eager to continue as it anticipates the next one.
> but have observed am in the extreme minority on this one.

The desire to make sentences unambiguous seems to be very rare, so this isn't too surprising.

"The tool you bought said X, I just went with that to get something to you quickly" is a great way to Get Things Done in any political industry. If stakeholders care, they'll override it placing less blame on your shoulders than they would otherwise. And tool makers that optimize for minimizing surprise can be great allies in this.
The usual caveat applies:

> Does it work? It does and it works quite well. Tests have shown that the preparation developed by the scientists forced the production of antibodies in the bodies of mice, which through the white blood cells attacked the aging cells in their bodies. The average lifespan of laboratory rodents that took the preparation extended by 15 percent relative to the control group, and individuals suffering from arterial stiffness saw a significant reduction in the damaged areas of these blood vessels.

Results in mice will probably not track to humans, assuming this treatment even makes it to that stage. The development time for most vaccines is on the order of 10 years or more, so even if it does make it (again, unlikely), it would be at least 10 years before this becomes available to humans. And there's a lot that can go wrong along the way. The biggest problem is that mice are not humans, and as far as animal models go, they're not even a good one.

Regarding that 15%, without some error bars (which can be quite large) it will be hard to say how "promising" this actually is.

But that source contradicts OP. OP claims that India's obesity rate is significantly lower than Japan's, while your source shows them as being about equal.

Is it OP's position that an obesity rate of 3.9% is significantly lower than a rate of 4.3%?
> First of all I love Marginalia, thanks for finishing _that_ project. :)

> Project scope seems to be key. I often get into things with 'lofty' goals but I should be more realistic about what I want to get from them. That requires a bit of thinking and self-reflection which, I think, I might be skipping.

Dunno, I think lofty goals are fine, but you need a clear idea why you want to accomplish them.

Like if the reason you're learning some technology is because you want to learn it, and you find midway through that you don't want to learn it, then one of you must be wrong. Either you want to or you don't. It's fine to change your mind, you should be upfront about yourself about that. If it turns out you don't want to learn the thing, then you're wasting your time pushing yourself.

It's also good to have some clue how to get there.

When I built my search engine, I started by making a fairly simple prototype that consisted of a few components that each took a few weeks to get working. Having that made iterating on the design much easier. There's just no way I'd gotten where I am now if I didn't start where I did.

> Acknowledging that not everything is glamorous is also another big part of it. When you just start something it's all new and shiny, but the bulk of the work is the unglamorous oiling of the gears and small improvements. I should internalize this fact.

A lot of it may also be ensuring that you are doing the right things. I sometimes fall into the trap of just sort of tweaking things and not really making much of a difference.

I've found it helpful to get some distance away from a project and to just think about it for a while instead of forcing myself to work directly at it every day. I often come back with a huge amount of ideas that I no doubt would have never come up with if I was closer to the project.
I'm slightly concerned if this means changing C extensions (of which we have rather a lot).

We only have a few places that use "naked" pointers, which are in any case deprecated, and we should be able to fix those easily enough.

Mostly the rest are fairly ordinary extensions that just call C functions and use the usual CAMLparam stuff.

We do have a few places that register global roots. And several packages that do callbacks from C back to OCaml. We also use @@noalloc a lot.

Is there anything else? Since there's so much code, what should I be grepping for to find code that might be of concern?

My wife and I have ADHD, and your description sounds exactly like our lives. Dive incredibly deep into a new thing because it's new and exciting, immerse yourself for a while, and then be completely unable, even if you really want to, to go back to it.

I've had more than a few projects which I did because I thought they would be interesting, but never did anything with; I learned XPath for parsing out character data from the FFXIV Lodestone: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/1569460/

Wrote a giant Python class to handle it all, parsed out all the data you could want, even to the point of almost being late for a social event because I wanted to finish the part I was doing (because I knew I'd completely forget). Then saved it and completely forgot about it for eight years until today.

In my case, I try to look at learning a little about a lot as one of my best resources; I can process information really quickly and learn a lot, build proof of concepts, etc., and while I might never "finish" a project in an absolute sense, if my goal is to learn just enough to be useful (use it in another project, help someone else with a problem, give advice, etc.) then it's a win.

Maybe it's just time to reframe your idea of "success" with regards to processes.
This is somewhat common in environments with stable power, you basically never have the entire IT system go down and come back up at the same time.

Anecdotally, I've found that iOS handles small touch targets much better than Android. I had an HTC Raider, a Moto G, and a Moto X Play, and I felt very fat-fingered on all of them. Then I switched to an iPhone 6s and now an iPhone 12 Mini and with both of them I've had zero problems with small touch targets, even ones that are close to each other like with Nonograms.

> There's a big difference between how much sleeping on rocks an 18yo can tolerate before their work performance degrades vs a 26yo who's sleeping on the same rocks.

Nah, there's a big difference between how much an 18 and a 26 year old will tolerate, not what they can. The reason the military wants 18 year olds is the same as why unhealthy startups want kids fresh out of college. They're too stupid to know when they can get away with asserting themselves.

> A bunch of 20 or 30-somethings who've been exposed to the realities of life and how dirty the world is are probably more likely to be able to deal with the more morally questionable aspects of military service but it's not worth the other tradeoffs of working with those demographics.

To strenuously disagree while agreeing: 20 or 30 year olds are more likely to be able to deal with the morally questionable aspects of military service, and that is an absolutely undesirable characteristic for a military. Militaries want you to deal with morally questionable situations in the way they've told you to deal with morally questionable situations. Using your own moral initiative, even resulting in a good outcome, deserves punishment. If you make a mistake in applying the rules you've been given, even resulting in a horrible outcome, you will get absolutely protected by the military.

That's the contract: try your best to do what you've been told. and we'll move heaven and earth to protect you.

Article cherry picks the numbers to downplay success of Singapore drug policies.

For example it highlights that SG has disproportionate number of people in jail for drug offenses but when you actually normalize it per prison population, USA has higher number of people in jail for drug offenses per 100k population (132 in US vs 120 in SG). Further US data downplay number of people for drug offenses in prisons as many people are in prison as result of drug addiction (robberies, stealing, etc) but not because they were busted with drugs.

And here are actual data on substance abuse in US prisons. SG has frankly right even if harsh policy.

>While the exact rates of inmates with substance use disorders (SUDs) is difficult to measure, some research shows that an estimated 65% percent of the United States prison population has an active SUD. Another 20% percent did not meet the official criteria for an SUD, but were under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of their crime.

https://www.drugabuse.gov/publications/drugfacts/criminal-ju...

Frankly my personal opinion - either drugs have to be fully legalized (even hard one) and sold at groceries or fully and effectively banned like in Singapore. Anything in the middle creates more misery.

Exactly. I was just going off of Musk's statements that they don't want to use things like LIDAR since people don't have LIDAR but can make these types of assessments.

Even if you could make an arc of occlusion (sounds like a D&D spell), there's way too much variability in headlight sizes/designs to accurately determine distance in the dark in the situation this video presents. Again, I am admitting a ton of ignorance when making that statement but that seems nearly impossible to me with just cameras.

Actually, they kind of are. I mean, if you have a gun and use it to shoot cans in your backyard, or that you take drugs and stay home, or go out but don't drive, don't attract attention on you, don't cause any problem, are you even going to be arrested? You have no idea how busy the police is with actual criminals.

I'm not saying we shouldn't do illegal things that don't harm others, I'm saying we should catch criminals who actually do harm.

Why, commas not withstanding, should Maine prevent people in the food supply chain business from getting overtime. I am pinko-Euro-liberal and even I think that's government meddling. Is there a historic reason for this if just labour-bashing ?
> “The next day, I enjoyed pan-roasted oysters with a tomato sauce over rice, broccoli salad and bread pudding with chocolate sauce.” A comma after “broccoli salad” would have cleared the table before dessert.

I think if you write a sentence that's highly dependent on the reader paying careful attention to where an easy-to-miss comma is, you assume all readers know what Oxford commas are, and the sentence generates a lot of discussion about how it can be misinterpreted, it's just a bad sentence. I think instead of debating about Oxford commas as a band aid, you should restructure the sentence so most people will understand it first time without having to think too hard.

This feels similar to overly clever code which goes against the principle of least surprise that shouldn't pass code review.

“The next day, I enjoyed pan-roasted oysters with a tomato sauce over rice and broccoli salad, followed by bread pudding with chocolate sauce.”

Edit: Fair point that the dessert is clear now but not the main. Either way, I'd prefer restructuring the sentence to make it clearer where practical e.g. adding in a few extra words like "with a side of", "dessert", "followed by".
