> However, there are reasons to believe that wavefunction collapse is an illusion brought on by something called decoherence.

Decoherence itself doesn't explain the (apparent) wave-function collapse. Decoherence just tells you why the quantum states can't self-interfere after coming in contact with "the environment" (such as in a measurement). You still need to invoke some other explanation why the non-interfering states can't both be observed (or shut up and calculate).

In MWI, this other explanation is the claim that "a classical observer" is an entity that only exists in one "branch" of the state space at one time, and can only perceive the solution to the wave equation they are entangled with. But this is an extra assumption entirely equivalent to the Born rule, though it is more intuitively acceptable in some way.
Love it. Only complaint is the red highlighting since I've got a mild red-green issue it doesn't show up as well as the blue.
I think you’re on the right track. I replied to a sibling comment with some other good reasons for discriminating based on race. Basically, race is a pretty good shorthand for a shared experience of a group, and there are genuine instances where that shared experience can be leveraged to do good things.

Is it me, or is "sub millisecond" actually quite unimpressive for an 'all-in-the-same-building-on-ssd' filesystem?

When my consumer flash ssd can typically provide data to a read request inside 50 microseconds, I really expect a big hosted filesystem to have a median latency in the 100 microsecond range.

Ie. I expect amazon to have the majority of filesystem metadata in RAM, such that a single read request from the user translates to a single SSD read request at a known block address. That data is then sent back across the 10GBit ethernet network to the machine doing the request, adding 1.3 microseconds per network switch.
We already have state run (more or less) digital ids in both Sweden and Denmark. I don't know if anyone has been denied for ideological reasons though.

Thanks for sharing.

ps.:
This reminded me of when my dad (in the early 90ies) took me to his workshop and let me help build a shelf. I was allowed to sand the wood and I was allowed to drill holes (I was only a little older than your daughter).

I had an incredibly good time with my father.

Two weeks later it got even better. On my birthday (my mother had taken me on a trip to get me out of the house) my father built the "shelf" - it was a loft bed for me - homemade and just as I had always wanted.

That made it even more awesome for me.

Ask Reddit: What is a scientific fact that blows your mind?
I think it depends on what we consider hard labor too. With all the mechanization today, hard labor has changed. Now it might be considered hard labor to run a log splitter and stack the wood, when in the past you'd be swinging a maul too. Like my grandpa used to plow field with a horse drawn plow, but now you just start up a tractor. So it evolves, and exactly what type of farming it is determines how physical it might be (although any of it is more physical than sitting in front of a screen all day).

Hehe reminds me of a volunteer day I set up for our team. They wanted to work on a farm that's part of the food bank. We spent maybe a half a day picking greens and squash. Most of them couldn't believe how "physical" it was - commenting about it being a workout or being tired.
Possibly.

As I tried to explain above, with control of a majority of the Tether trading volume, *you* could pretty much set the price any way you want. Anyone else who wants to participate and trade would have little choice but to follow your lead.

In addition, let's assume you have access to unlimited funds (by simply minting more Tethers) and *you* would have everything you need in place to control the "market price" and commit Tether fraud on a massive scale.

In other words, *you* would be just like the current crypto marketplace.

It's still baffling to me that so many subreddits have rules against downvotes and use CSS hacks to hide the downvote buttons (that alternate clients or using the preference to disable custom CSS easily circumvents) and that Reddit just hasn't added that as core functionality for moderators to enable on a subreddit.

The only thing I can think of is that if they make it an option all subreddits will ban the downvote and for whatever reason admin must be really invested in ensuring people are able to downvote.

One of the clever things I noticed about HN is that you cannot downvote replies to your own comments. It's an interesting tweak.

On top of that the very recent rollout of changes to how blocking works are really wrecking havoc on debate subreddits where jerks are now using blocks to "win" debates.

I'd like to mention that in 2022 Reddit still does not have IPv6.

The reason I was given back around ~2010, is how they block IP addresses. Allegedly, according to an admin (who shall not be named) is how Reddit blocks spam with IP filtering. Apparently the technology only works with v4, and somehow Reddit deeply integrated the tech into their stack. Also the idea that allowing v6 would allow circumvention, which to some extent is probably true.

The TLDR is that Reddit is still not on v6 because they have a draconian IP filtering kit built into their technology stack.

How on earth is this related to "agile" software/product development?

> I always see lots of supporting infrastructure being skimped on so a new feature can be delivered faster

That's bad management and has nothing to do with agile. Reserve time for bug fixes (or have fire fighting capabilities) and refactoring, include time for tech tickets. ALWAYS. Plan workload jointly with developers, talk to them regularly. It's that easy.
I can relate to this. Neither of my parents have college degrees and we were poor growing up. For a while they just pushed me to get any job I could. I worked in a call centre (horrible), door to door sales (more horrible), a butcher in supermarket (slightly horrible), working in the NHS (terrible pay, lovely people).

I've had a lot problems myself struggling around guilt about the pay and general lifestyle in tech. But I'm now working in a tech company with lovely people, doing interesting work. For what it's worth from a stranger: I wish you luck in overcoming your inner critic and that you are worthy and deserving to get a job with people you like at a job you enjoy.
Counterpoint: I spent most of my early youth going "all-in", basically trying to push myself to be something I'm not. Now I lie in bed at night wishing someone would shoot me in the head so I don't have to wake up to another day.

Effort doesn't necessarily equal success, and success doesn't equal happiness. Remember to work towards something you actually want to live. It's all too easy to use "all-in" as an excuse to run away from your problems, and making time for a family is great, but that family has to be built too.

This is good to see. I didn't realize just how much this latency could effect me until I recently was doing some fine tuning on an NLP model on Sagemaker and noticed my training loss was looking pretty rough when I used a working directory that was in EFS as opposed to on my EC2 instance. Testing it out, performance was dramatically improved when I moved everything to the directly attached storage, so I've just been avoiding EFS since then during training.

I would add a corollary to this...when facts are posited in support of this ideology, you should be highly suspicious of them. Because more often then not the guy who built the house is telling you the foundation was irrelevant.

Private industry often has the option to NOT do something. When they leverage that option, if the thing really does need to be done, it is typically left to government. That puts government led initiatives at an inherent disadvantage when private industry also dictates the metrics of success. Government is forced into doing things that private industry doesn't want to or cannot do - and we point to the government like its a failure. See USPS vs. FedEx/UPS - USPS treats its employees well, delivers to everyone, and controls prices to make basic services accessible to all citizens. Private versions do none of those things but we view them as more successful because 'they don't lose money'.

Example from when I used to live in Arizona:

* they introduced a school voucher program

* theoretically, charter schools could not discriminate against students with disabilities

* students with disabilities are more expensive to educate, in a public school the ratio of able bodied to disabled students helps lessen the burden of those costs

* shockingly, Charter schools in practice wildly discriminated against students with serious disabilities. They used the language of 'would not succeed in our rigorous academic environment'

* Students with major disabilities (e.g., Down's Syndrome) became enormously overrepresented in public schools

* For public schools - costs per student went up, relative test scores went down.

Some argued that this was proof that public education was failing and they needed to expand the voucher program and grow the number of Charter schools. I would argue it didn't - the ideology of industry better than government just changed the rules, broke the system, and claimed a victory.

Space-X and Blue Origin and [insert space startup here] exists because of NASA in the 60s and 70s and everyday since. It isn't just that NASA did the early parts and now industry can do now. NASA literally used that time to write the standards that all of these companies now rely on. They generated the knowledge base required to succeed in spaceflight. They literally generated the standards - e.g., 3D printed spaceflight parts https://www.nasa.gov/sites/default/files/atoms/files/msfcstd... that are a starting point for anything they do.
True. But perhaps you can eliminate 9 out of 10 chemists, and replace them by an AI that generates ideas. Then use the 1 chemist to validate those ideas.

This is pretty cool, something that I'd actually use if there was a simple SaaS option for it.
During the space race the state got a level of results society could not (sustainably) support by lighting money on fire (at an unsustainable rate). Fast forward half a century and it's commercially viable for certain types of activities.

Similarly, Columbus's initial explorations were state sponsored "light money on fire in the hope we get useful knowledge out of it" (like a path to the indies that cuts out the middle man) endeavors. The initial conquest of SA by the Spanish for low hanging fruit type resource extraction (stealing gold) in the 1500s is roughly analogous to "BigCo" commercial viability (draw your comparisons with the very expensive telecommunications satellites of the 80s) and by the 1630s even marginalized religious extremists could afford to settle on the other side of the ocean. Space is in that same process of moving down the economic ladder of viability.
Even easier, just take a screenshot.

It's not the stuff we write down is useless.

let's assume that without a good note-taking app, we reuse 1% of our notes. And with a good note-taking app we reuse 2% of our notes.

Our feeling will stay the same:those notes are a trash heap.

But we doubled the number of the "ideas" we can access, which seems like a good ROI.

And definetly, the process is useful.

True, but the comment I responded to also has this:

> If it's between that and Pyp, why not use Pyp?

Because, as the instructions[0] point out

> pyp requires Python 3.6 or above.

It's necessary to install pip and Python at least to do so, I expect that I can produce a binary for frawk and drop it in far more easily. I'm not even sure what advantage Pyp has over using a Python REPL (or Ruby or perl etc).

> And also, in the technology business, you are supposed to make progress happen.

I do that by writing good code and improving processes.

As I've pointed out, I fail to see how needing to include the Python ecosystem is "progress" over a binary that is tiny, fast, and works. Calling things obsolete because they're "old" is the argument of a teenager. I apologise if that sounds rude, but I don't know how else to put it, that's what it is.

I'm still working on making changes to my dev workflow, but besides a good screen reader I'm not sure much needs to change in that respect as the tools I use support screen readers.

Overall I've just focused on figuring out a longer plan for my life and focusing on achieving those goals instead of just drifting on a tech salary. This whole thing has really changed my perspective on things.
Let's see it:

1. The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.

2. Resort to terrorizing methods as a means of coercion, or the state of fear and submission produced by the prevalence of such methods.

3. The act of terrorizing, or state of being terrorized; a mode of government by terror or intimidation.

> EFS file systems now provide average latency as low as 600 microseconds for the majority of read operations on data and metadata.

I do not want to detract from how awesome this is at all. It's a great improvement and worth of celebration.

That said, I spent long enough at Amazon to know that they have the metrics around this, before and after, to a surprising level of detail. When Amazon gives a single piece of data like that, it makes me worry me there is some nuance to the improvement. Show me the p50, p90, p99, and p99.99 as well as the average.

Remember, if reading 1 byte is improved 10X on average, but one in every 10,000 bytes is worsened by 10X, then 10kb file reads might now take ~10X longer (if all reads were in parallel, etc).
It was about five minutes of filling a form with the national authority.

There are some responsibilities that you get along with it (e.g. you're supposed to do risk assessment and document your approach to risks and security, etc.) but you don't actually have to deliver those documents unless they ask for it. They may also require you to respond to some questionnaires and such (I've received only one questionnaire over the years; they were conducting a study about how registrars verify the identity of their customers). Obviously these are primarily intended for commercial operators who have responsibility for customers' domains, and my risk assessment offering domains for myself is going to look pretty simple so I haven't actually written anything down. Will do if/when requested.

I don't know about the Republicans, but as far as Democrats go it's actually a rule:

Rule 12 Timing of the Delegate Selection Process

No meetings, caucuses, conventions or primaries which constitute the first determining stage in the presidential nomination process (the date of the primary in primary states, and the date of the first tier caucus in caucus states) may be held prior to the first Tuesday in March or after the second Tuesday in June in the calendar year of the national convention. Provided, however, that the Iowa precinct caucuses may be held no earlier than 29 days before the first Tuesday in March; that the New Hampshire primary may be held no earlier than 21 days before the first Tuesday in March; that the Nevada first-tier caucuses may be held no earlier than 10 days before the first Tuesday in March; and that the South Carolina primary may be held no earlier than 3 days before the first Tuesday in March.

This is what created "Super Tuesday", which is evidence of a race to the bottom that has gone as far down as it can go. It also shows that 4 states were carved out probably as favors (does anyone know more here?). In order to change this, probably a bunch of people who are being treated favorably now will get upset at losing their privilege, and no one in leadership wants to crack that egg. Seeing as that South Carolina, one of the favored states anointed to hold a primary before before Super Tuesday, played such a decisive role in the nomination of Joe Biden, I think the practice of keeping these states first is going to continue for the foreseeable future.

Jim Clyburn of S. Carolina is widely credited of resuscitating Joe Biden's candidacy after his sad start in IA, NH, and NV. He placed a distant 4th in IA, 5th in NH, and Bernie blew out NV with 40% of the vote. At that point, Clyburn endorsed Biden, and Biden ended up winning SC. Then a bunch of candidates dropped out of the race before Super Tuesday (some who were doing much better than Biden overall) and support coalesced behind Biden.

If anything, the slow roll of IA, NH, SC and NV allows the party to calibrate the primary process. If things start going a way they don't like, they can make quick changes like asking a bunch of candidates to drop out of the race (I'm not saying Bernie would have won had they not done this, I'm just pointing out it was obviously done, and what enabled them to do this was the fact that all primaries are not held on the same day).
