> The Web3 crowd are ideologically devoted to building a digital world focused on the removal of greed, power, supervision and censorship. It’s giving digital natives a new identity, purpose and belonging - much like the Aghoris.

I gotta stop you right there. This ideology has existed long before Web3 was coined as a term, and much, much longer than it has existed as a concept. Ever since Limewire, Bittorrent and general P2P systems were in use, people were (and are) circumventing that power. The difference is that they're not marketing themselves anywhere; they're not trying to flip a quick buck or turn themselves into The Next Big Thing. Their suitability is entirely predicated on the fact that they don't care about those things, which is directly opposed to the general treatment of Web3 today. Everything is being tokenized, deconstructed and turned into digital stake-claiming. We're all trying to be The Next Big Thing, grasping at straws that don't exist and driving our infatuation with petty vanity to a point where the sheer consensus of who owns a JPEG is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

That's not what it means to be digitally native. That's what it means to be socially native in a digital world. Unfortunately for those people, their concepts and ideologies will long outlive the blockchains they're inscribed on, in the form of truly decentralized, peer-operated networks that don't rely on consensus-based ledgers or building a multi-billion-dollar Web3 SAAS. Articles like this strike me as so silly that I can't even take them seriously on premise alone.
This is why I reject the categorical imperative. The claim kant makes is that you still lie because it's more unethical to normalize a society of people being given up to murderers than it is to normalize a society of (white?)-liars.

I claim that this has degenerated into utilitarianism. This is also word for word what scopenhaur (a huge fan of kant) has to say about Kant's categorical imperative in his critique of Kant's ideas...
At this point, I think we're just talking beside each other's points. My first post, as a reply to other posts, is just about spectrum and gradients, really being the same, but there's a duality between the continuous frequencies/gradients and the perceptions of colors. I'm being general, whereas you are pointing out problems with too general models (or aggregates for that matter). I don't disagree with that.

To attempt to reply though: There doesn't need to be a psychological variable, there just need to be made one or more tests that scores aggregates. However, as the article and TEDx talk says, a number or two would not paint the whole picture of a complex socio-psychological issue.
Who do you think nasa would contract it out to if it wasn’t SpaceX?
Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences. That’s the post you’re replying to. There are lots of examples of this, even within US law, some of which revolve around threats. If you’re new to this site and if you have a limited attention span then you can just press the back button to review the conversation you’ve been having, it’s not ephemeral.
Bare metal has nothing to do with this. It isn't even touched upon in the article. It discusses a scheduler, and the parent post suggests exempting these kind of jobs from the scheduler in question, which they obviously aren't a very good product fit for.

Should you wish to really stretch that car analogy, maybe a bit more appropriate than a horse would be: If you aren't happy with your travel agency aren't booking your taxi trips in time, try booking with the taxi company directly.
If you factor out usage for agriculture (which serves others out of state) does CA per capita use more or less water? That is, how much of this problem is strictly CA and how much is it a national food system issue? Mind you, I realize there are crops that grow best in CA (and not elsewhere in the US) but that doesn't nean we have to grow them if they weaken other aspects of the broader system.

I think Ruby on Rails might be a great framework for incrementally learning the complex parts of a serious web app. I would recommend you check out DHH’s recent tour of the framework’s seventh version, and if you like it, check ou the Rails for Beginners video series by GoRails on YouTube, or Michel Hartl’s Ruby on Rails Tutorial book.
> people don’t care what you’ve done. They care about how you perform in the interview.

I think OP is expecting a level of competence from interviewers that simply doesn’t exist anymore. He’s from a time when the initial conversation would be engineers only and absolutely focused on past projects.
Vortex: A port of the TidalCycles music livecoding system to Python
DNA sequencing bugs me quite a bit.

On one hand, I would love to learn something new about my body.

On the other hand, what if the results tell me that I am predisposed to some horrible untreatable disease? Will I spend the rest of my days observing every little pain or discomfort and thinking "is this IT?"

Letter from Africa: Why Kenya's taxman is eyeing social media
Honestly been struggling with mental illness and think the majority of it has come from internet use.
Merry Christmas. I'm Software Engineer, near 50 and I faced the same problem with you. I propose to you two paths.
The first and is what I did. I moved in a field that I was not very famirial with and it concerns industrial programming and especially in CODESYS (ST programming). This is a relatively new technology but the way you design and programming is similar to those of previous decades.
The second is to start your own company related or not to your field, taking advantage of your knowledge, experience and skills.
I wish you the best.
You're looking at take-home, while levels.fyi shows granted amounts. AMZN and GOOG have both ~tripled since early 2018, so if you joined with a large stock grant (and as the other user mentioned, amazon's are backloaded), you'd be getting 3x the modelled amount. So someone who joined with a 160K salary and 400K stock grant at Amazon, which is modelled compensation of just a bit over 250K would take home 160K + .4 * 400K * 3 = 640K this year. That translates to the high side of L5 or low side of L6 at amazon, which is to say well within the "Senior" band.
We're not losing anyone. We may not be getting them, but that's not the same thing.
Thank god she didn't do this to the first movie. We would have missed out on a legendary movie and gotten this shit instead.
Memetic mimeticism? Is there a Dawkins/Girard intersection?

Are “Anti-mimetic tactics” selfish?

And does the mnemonic I before E except after C rule apply in this context?

We might be close to a CRISPR for memes here. Memesplicing anyone?
> It was basically a desert with a river (or rivers) running through it and they built a series of irrigation canals.

My understanding is that much of the Central Valley was actually a (seasonal?) marshland/grasslands ecosystem, not a desert environment. The irrigation and diversion to Southern California caused many large, shallow lakes (e.g., Tulare Lake) in the region to dry up entirely.
That made me jealous of the 37%
"Is it just me, or is this boring?" -- my friend about 45 mins into it.
it's unlikely we would ever be able to achieve this. Even simulating a single cell at high resolution is a serious challenge.
Would capturing 100% of the market granting a monopoly essentially grant unlimited upside? Cause you can just jack the price to absurdity? Also wouldn't reducing cost to zero have an infinite upside as well? Basically zero cost you can produce infinite output. Gettin real pedantic here heh.
Alas the first part "even if I knew" when you know that you do know, is not truthful..
heat pump sounds great as long as you don't live in the half of the US where it actually gets cold in the winter.
Phase noise is obviously the problem. Plenty of microwave broadband gear isn't all that narrowband to begin with...

Note there's a pretty big difference between "it should be good enough for 99.99% of planes" and "we can guarantee there won't be even one crash even under unlikely conditions".

Aerospace is already VERY comfy doing ADS-B at 1090 and DME/TACAN from 960-1215 and the old GPS L1 allocation at 1575.42 and the military L2 allocation at 1227.60 (admittedly not many civies using that LOL) and someday probably L4 and remember ASR-11 airport radars blast at 25 KW power over 2700-2900 MHz. But, you know, the straw that broke the camels back and all that.

Most things will be fine. A small amount of things will operate degraded, which is the point of the NOTAM. Some things (like very few) will all fail the same time 5G is deployed, which will be a headache. Going forward every installation of every device on the ground or in the plane will be tested against 5G and it'll be just fine. Most likely for a week or a month everyone will have to treat their radar altimeter as potentially broken until proven otherwise, then it'll be fine and they'll drop the notam. Some equipment will indeed fail and connectors will be tightened or even devices replaced, and it'll be fine.
I enjoyed the parody. Visual aesthetic of the original but at high resolution (might rewatch in 4k for the fun of it)

Since I had no idea what the plot was I didn't form many future expectations. I think the dialog won't hold up well long term
The change of hues in the trailer was enough for making me skip the movie.
The whole idea of a culture being a static thing that shouldn't change has always seemed rather shortsighted to me. What people are complaining about is that it's changing fast enough for them to notice before they've become crotchety old people (who always complain about the youth...). People act like cultural identity is so tied to these traditions that if you took their grandpatenys and introduced them to their own ancestors from 10 generations back that all their traditions would be the same. My guess is that they would both be aghast at what each other does, for different reasons.

The internet is just a continuation of this, in myriad different subgroups with their own norms, and like everyone else, they don't like change (but usually only when it inconveniences or is easily extrapolated to situations they see to do with themselves).
I don’t get it, why not just include a link to github in your pdf?
Folks are free to analyze my genome, https://my.pgp-hms.org/profile/hu80855C

Last time it was analyzed the conclusion was that there was nothing actionable.
QGIS is great, and for people entering the GIS rabbit hole, another rewarding acquaintance is ESA’s SNAP [1]. It is a powerful toolkit for downloading and processing satellite imagery from ESA satellites.

QGIS and SNAP fits together through their respective python bindings.

Behind both is GDAL [2] the omniconverter of coordinate systems and files.

I thought the movie was entertaining.. but also trash and way too long.

[Spoilers]

Going in, the bar was pretty low given the reception of the 2nd and 3rd movies. I went in to this thinking it would be their "star wars ep 7", and it kind of was. Except comparing apples to apples, Ep 7 was much better than this, which isnt saying much. I love Keanu but his acting just isn't that good. He's the same character as in the John Wick series. The writing is a lazy attempt to be meta and deep. They make direct self references to Warner Brothers forcing them to reboot. "Stories never really end, we keep telling the same ones again and again but with different characters". Okay. There are some hot takes about the zeitgeist, how the new matrix manipulates our feelings instead of our facts (hint Twitter and facebook).

So yeah, the first 30 mins are a slog, but then the action kicks in and the action scenes are pretty fun.

The ending is what you'd expect, the good guys escape the matrix - again. As for humans vs machines, to be continued.

Hopefully the sequels don't further mirror the star wars reboots.
Yes, this technique is called foveated rendering. You can further speed up ray tracing by reducing noise in renders that are produced by tracing a low number of rays per pixel. Another technique is realtime super sampling via machine learning.
“Runtime error” “CPU Memory limit exceeded (16GB)”
Very reassuring
Hope that we don’t have one in the middle of winter. Most times of the year the solar + batteries should be able to keep the lights on and at least minimum heat. Any half the year we could comfortably run off grid for long stretches.

> I still don't understand where the responsiveness came from.

personally, I thought it was because it was macos, which was riddled with a lot of legacy code, for example 68k emulation in the innards of the kernel, and tacked on cooperative/preemptive multitasking.

I remember playing with a leaked version of Copeland/Gershwin. It felt way more modern in a different way than BeOS, but I can't remember how complete it was.
Yeah, typoed that. Thanks for pointing it out.
Nanopore sequencing is a really interesting technology. It utilizes fundamentally the same apparatus as a Coulter Counter [1], which is a general method of counting and sizing arbitrary particles that's frequently used in flow cytometry. Applying it to sequencing by drawing unwound DNA through the pore was a really excellent logical leap, and we're only now starting to see the benefits of even though it was first ideated over 30 years ago.

>It is more common to see 4WD vehicles abandoned in ditches because they didn't realize 4WD doesn't help with braking or going down a hill.

Snow tires also can't make stupid people not stupid, much to the chagrin of many an internet commenter and clipboard warrior.

As someone who is responsible for a fleet of vehicles that have to deal with snow I can say from experience that high end snow tires will not make empty RWD vans handle better than a run of the mill AWD crossovers on Walmart's finest all seasons. No amount of money can fix that kind of weight distribution.
Simple solution: if you refuse vaccination for a non-medical reason and require treatment for COVID, you pay out of pocket. No insurance, no medicare, no medicaid.

Best of all isn't personal responsibility a classical conservative thing? Don't want to do something simple and free to keep yourself out of the hospital? Fine, but you get to pay for it.

Of course they will just go bankrupt and we'll end up paying for it anyway, but at least it will send a message.

Could be extended to other forms of adherence to flagrant health quackery. I have zero sympathy for this insanity anymore. If you get your health information from YouTube you are an idiot.
Some of that is due to COVID restrictions.
None of the “significantly more” is even remotely close to the cost claimed by the original comment. That’s the problem here - you can’t keep saying “but but but” to clear refutation. The assertion was simply false.
"Every technical development has its social downsides" isn't a very deep or original observation.
I really enjoyed it, it was very self-aware and meta, even breaking the fourth wall. It could have been a bit deeper, but it still gives a lot to think about (existence and such)
The internet has a lot of benefits.

My issues aren't with the internet, but advancements made with social media.

The addictive nature of many platforms. The hivemind and lack of free thought I've noticed in many avenues of the internet.

Having upvotes vs downvotes or likes vs dislikes encourages conformity. It encourages group think.

This group think is ultimately what's driving me off the larger platforms on the internet and away from social media in general.
That seems like it would only be a problem if you're looking for Typescript answers, right? Like, ignore the typings in Typescript and in most cases you have vanilla JS (or ES6, anyway)...
Was that supposed to do something other than show half a page and not respond to clicks and scrolls? iOS 15 on iPhone SE 2.

I wish.
> Was that CPU really named with "i-thing" fashion back then?

Not really, the actual name was Itanium.
Well, the way I see it, the difference between autism and anxiety disorder, OCD or insomnia is that autism is seen as an inherent, unchangeable part of ones identity. It's who you are, not something you have.

So autism being considered negative is much more harmful and damaging to the person's psyche than anxiety disorder for example.

Which is why there's been a push for normalizing and destigmatizing autism. Similar is true for LGBT+. It's why racism is considered so harmful - it's very hard and unsettling to think of yourself as inferior to others.

My problem is that I think this push has gone too far, to the point where reality is being bended.
Note that you are literally shedding identifiable DNA from your body at all times and a truly motivated adversary would have no problem obtaining enough sample material to do high quality sequencing.
I was referring to Archive/All mail working, instead of just deleting all email, I should have been clearer I think - I don’t use the web UI so don't need a full replacement for that, even though it might be helpful
It's not just these things. The dialogue is so poorly written one wonders if the accusations surrounding the first Matrix lifting the script from another screenwriter were true. [1]

Who thinks writing in a MILF joke is an appropriate follow-up to such a classic (and classy) film?

Yes. There are laws in some countries for example that make the advertising of Tobacco illegal. That's a form of censorship people can say is reasonable, but it can also be a slippery slope towards harsher censorship around other things people might find harmful - the female body, sugar, gambling, abortion, meat, etc.

The question is if you want to give the government such a broad spectrum to censor, in which they'd start judging whether or not a product might be deemed potentially harmful.
Would’ve been interesting if a post-return Jobs Apple had bought Palm in the 2000s, after Palm had acquired both Be Inc. and Handspring.
Except that it isn’t very whacky at all. Infrastructure and climate differences aside- My assumption, as someone who grew up in the Great Lakes and now lives in the Puget sound area, is that people who do think it is whacky have little to no idea the difference in terrain between the upper Midwest/New England and here.
It does have something to do with guilt, because the ultimate concession of acknowledging privilege is that you didn't truly earn your advantages, which is a root cause of perpetuated injustice. That's where the guilt lives: being the beneficiary of systematic injustice. This doesn't make you a bad person, of course; pretty much anyone in a position of privilege will capatalize on it, as that is human nature.
3rd order IMD performance can become an issue.

3rd ord IMD for non-EE could be described as low power mixers like mixing low power signals and usually the low power signal comes from your intentionally designed radio oscillator, but, whack it with enough incoming RF power and it will go non-linear as its designed to do and start mixing with that incoming signal, mostly making massive levels of interference. You can always improve 3rd order IMD by simply running the oscillator and mixer at higher power levels (which all turns to heat), usually not the best strategy for battery powered gear.
Thanks for the kind words. I've been trying really hard to stay balanced on this issue here.
I'm early in my career and I'm bullish on myself, but I would never go around preaching that there's a "high probability of success" of a SWE making >$500k because clearly there is not.

I'm bullish because I have evidence to support that possibility. Most people have zero evidence that they would ever make >$500k, let alone having a "high probability of success".
It will continue to change, as all things tend to do.
Try quitting social networks and reading more on educational sites such as Wikipedia. There is a lot of amazing things out there.

One does not have to be dragged into the "OUTRAGE OF THE DAY!" mud that is Twitter or Facebook.
No they are not efficient, but my power is almost free, and renewable. Heat pump hardware is very expensive and not as flexible.
North Sentinelese seem pretty content though
Thanks for the laugh.

Thanks for the second laugh when I thought, “What a fun dad joke” and saw your username. :)
If you have an optimistic mindset and poor abilities, how does that translate to a better outcome than a pessimistic mindset?
At scale?
You’re not the only one. It’s already my favorite. It’s like the first, but taken a little more seriously. More conventionally dramatic. Less comic booky. The way I wanted the Matrix movies to be treated all along.
the nanopore units are awesome! although if i recall, most of the device is a replaceable one time use consumable and the cost of that consumable is quite expensive (at least hundreds, if not thousands).

when i looked i was interested, but was turned off when i saw that the cost far outstripped commercial sequencing services.

Obesity can occur without own responsibility or at least be much more difficult to deal with for some people. It also doesn't infect people that walk past.
What an amazing woman! Unbelievable. I consider myself educated, and I'd never heard of her.

I'm from a very poor country with a very large population. Makes me wonder how many unrealized geniuses there must be in that country. Ramanujan was one, of course.
While I can’t imagine how this could be anything but a coincidence, but it still strikes me that this 37% is approximately 1/e .
You can combine HTMX with a SSG like Hugo and generate a bunch of partial HTML files that HTMX can load later on request. No server is required.
I’m a DL researcher, I’ve known of this site for a few years, and while the original motivation behind it was good I personally never extracted much value from it. Usually googling the paper title or a model name plus ‘github’ and/or ‘pytorch’ will produce all relevant links to code.

How much of the operation of the MIT license do you want explained to you? I’m happy to do it but don’t want to patronize you either.
So, you dislike wearing glasses, but use them anyway because they provide a value to you. Did I get that correctly? What if a head-mounted display would provide some value to you that you would not get in any other way?
Sure! Just sent you an email!
Sure. I've worked with and know people who could carry this out at scale, although obviously individual sample collection isn't highly scalable.

Edit: I used to help Google fund researchers like Joe Derisi and others who develop technology to do this, and some of the people I worked with in my academic career are quite good at identifying serial killers from 30 year old DNA. If you're downvoting because you think I'm making this up, you're wrong. If you're downvoting because you don't think large-scale individual detection using genetic sampling of the environment is possible, you're wrong. If you're downvoting because you think you couldn't do a whole genome sequence of an individual using a sample collected in the wild, you're wrong. If you're downvoting because you think this is a terrible idea (morally, ethically), that's fine but I didn't say anything about my own moral or ethical beliefs about this.

It's simply factually correct to say that large-scale individual sample collection (at order tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of individuals in a country the size of the US) is possible. All the technology is there to do this.
