I'm biased because I now work on it, but I think Urbit is the only way something like this will work for most people and at scale. "Only" is probably too strongly worded, but it's the one attempt I've seen where I think real success is among one of the possible outcomes (other attempts I've seen don't fix deeper issues and are DOA).

The issues that caused the decentralized web to fail (and incentivize centralization) are deeper and to get self-hosting to work beyond the tiniest of niches requires rethinking some of the computing constraints we find ourselves operating under from first principles.

People will never run their own servers if that means administering linux. Identity will never be solved by PGP key signing parties and spam will always be a problem on the current web. Federated systems in their current state that require everyone to run linux servers and keep them in sync/up to date will not work.

On the current web we're just serfs allowed account access on company servers. I think it's admirable to make it easier to run your own server, but I think decades have shown that it won't work (beyond a narrow hyper-technical niche) without fixing some of the larger issues: https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/07/14/the-serfs-of-facebook... - the most exciting part of the web was what people thought it would bring in the 90s. I think that isn't impossible, but we're currently trapped in a local max. We can't get out of that local max without acknowledging why we're in it - why the centralized services are currently so much better and why the dream of everyone self-hosting (even with decades of effort) has been a failure.

Maintaining a really good credit score requires deliberate action and high conscientiousness over a long time. That is just a really strong proxy for success in life. There are loads of people with bad credit and high income - chronic gamblers, for instance.
So you're implying me the only place supply and demand actually works is in an idealized free market that doesn't exist? If that's the case, yeah, we agree on it.

All those cases I mentioned came arose under one of the most (maybe the most?) free market of modernity.

I have this issue too. When I tried to set up self-hosting, I assumed that there are steps that requires me to expose it to the internet. Turn out that it already exposed and didn't (or barely) provided the information of how to close it off securely and keep it private network only. When I tried to find information about it, there was always guides that are not consistent with it. Some will say I have to go in php.ini to do this, then go to SQlite to do that, then go to other files do there, then adding 20 steps to keep it secured. I'm just wondering why there are not any centralized options to do this. I just want a option that I can tick in the software and left it off as that.

I understand those documentations are not for laypeople for me. However it is annoying when people out there kept pushing the self-hosting for beginners narrative without providing the necessary tools for laypeople to keep themselves secured and reliable.

As I think I expressed in a post last year it's important that we could migrate off crt.sh but it isn't a problem if we never do.

One thing I don't like but can't attest to still being a problem since maintaining one is no longer my job, is some logs are (were) unreliable for a crawler, which is a problem if you wanted to spin up an alternative to crt.sh. Google checks things work for them as part of qualification, but that's at best a 90% solution
I think Europe has an ISA program for higher ed. They call it "free college" and the ISA kicks in via a progressive tax system. Funny (sad funny) how when it is put into the private sector in America it basically collapses.

I'm writing PhotoStructure, which you might be interested in. It's self-hosted, but also runs on Windows and macOS without docker, libraries are portable, and photo and video deduplication is robust. Photoprism had a couple features I haven't built out yet, but I'm getting there. More details are here: https://photostructure.com/faq/why-photostructure/

To be honest I value mainstream online news at $0. As I've said before, I often don't even believe it's worth accepting cookies to read an article, and will close the browser when asked. There are occasionally interesting pieces of analysis here and there, but rarely from major news sources.

I would potentially pay for good news aggregation / curation, and for real analysis / opinion that is interesting, not the pablum that comes out of mainstream news. The only real advantage news outlets like NYT have are that you can know what other people are talking about, overall the analysis is far to bland (or an best maybe intentionally ideological to try and appear controversial) to be worth anything.

If you are actually producing high demand graduates, you will be able to make plenty of money by charging recruiters / hiring companies for access to them. None of these programs use this model for a simple reason, they are not actually producing high demand graduates.

To be clear, I have no idea what life is like outside of the world of selective schools and employers - as far as I know, Lambda/Bloom actually delivers on their goal of improving their student's employment prospects. But the fact that they need to charge the students at all implies we're not talking about anybody getting a FAMGA job or similar.
> ”there's no reason you can't just tell people to take a free class off YouTube, and then have them pay $500 or so to have a project graded”

I think there is a reason you can’t do that. People won’t learn to program with that. I do not defend Lambda School anymore, but I think you are oversimplifying things to make your point. Which, for me, has the opposite effect of thinking less of your point when you oversimplify like that.

I think the modern era equivalent would be having your picture taken and posted on social media with the intent of shaming you. I cannot say for sure whether it's more likely to happen, but posting a pic on twitter is significantly easier than mutilating someone with a dagger.

It'd be interesting to see how this would work out today.
Yea this comes to the poor alignment point.

I recently left a company where I led a team in building a high quality and very complex product but the job felt super easy.

Now at my new gig I'm managing a new team where the product is garbage and the team is very junior. Neither of these are the cause of my overwhelming workload as the ultimate product is very low complexity. It is instead the horrible alignment of various personalities that results in an inconceivable amount of meetings and daily shifting priorities.
It's sort of surprising, but it's a group of weird, creative people with tons of money and free time. I'm sure they're doing tons of odd stuff, model trains among them. (Once they're off drugs, that is.)
Half life alyx is extremely gimmicky if you stop to observe how it works. Enemies are stupidly generous in telegraphing their moves. The game, correctly, expects you to be very slow and unable to integrate moving and shooting.

Boneworks is a game that does the opposite, but is similarly disappointing. You get fast walking speed with the analog stick allowing you to be very agile. Presuming you don’t get nausea… this is by far your most useful asset in a fight. The real world movement is basically nothing and a lot of the fighting is better done as a sort of jousting with your weapon held in front of you and your move stick held forward.

> No, this is just how people should live

You can say that all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that it's an opinion. I think people should live far apart from each other and definitely not in cities, but saying that won't do anything to change your opinion either.

> Well if they want to be stuck inside like a hermit then don't complain about a lack of sunlight - go outside.

You seem incredibly upset that some people enjoy being indoors. You also write as if windows and doors don't exist. Enjoying the indoors and an outside view at the same time is fundamental to human nature, as shown by thousands of years of windows. If anything, there is more evidence to say that your opinion is wrong, that humans shouldn't live with windows.

> Going outside is not a lifestyle - it's what normal people do.

Normal people also go back indoors lol, and normal people enjoy windows when they're inside. I can't begin to imagine why you take it so personally that somebody would dare to want an apartment with windows. I won't be responding further but I hope you enjoy your chosen way of life
Not only did Lambda School crash and burn (Bloom Tech Institute rebrand = LOL). But those of us who managed to not give up and actually learn in other ways... are still on the hook for that ISA repayment. What a monumental scam.
Yes, society can and should do more to encourage people to drive safely, but that doesn't mean it's impossible to do so.

The same logic applies to all sorts of things like obesity, smoking, etc.. These things obviously have multiple causes-- some societal, some individual. It's not a binary.
They could go into stores and wander seemingly helpless around, to be asked whether they need help.

This could be discouraging towards “new” employees though. Maybe they should walk around and learn getting rejected… oh well
the main target for ISA's seem to be people needing career changes in my experience. (at least for people doing it and having any kind of actual success from it)

A great example would be the person who went to college and got degree and training to become a teacher, and then found out they would never be able to afford a home staying a teacher and decided to make a change. Another real life example would be the ex police officer who decided they couldn't do that job anymore. (I've met both of these people before)

There are alot of careers that seem attractive to people who then realize they cant make a living doing that but have already used up their financial aid / scholarships / student loans getting themselves into that career.

Dont get me started on ex lawyers who go into coding.
No doubt there are high income people with low credit and low income people with high credit. But my point is that it's a lot easier to keep a good credit school on high income than it is on low income.

When your cost of necessities for living (food, rent, utilities, etc) is close to your total income, all it takes is a small disruption in your income to cause a cascade of credit lowering events that are hard to dig yourself out of.
Where does the the idea that PCA is optimal come from?

I understand the second example (girlfriend taking a phone screen): some people never took statistics past a linear models course, so they use what they know. Understandable, if inefficient. But they don't seem to be claiming linear models are optimal all the time, they're just stuck in a local maximum of trying to speed up the system they have.

But the PCA guy I really don't understand.
You should state this to your leadership. It may ring hollow, you might have to do it in a way that some thin-skinned leader doesn't see it as criticism but they need that feedback. I'm facing this at my company.

Mate, why don't you start something like this in NZ? We totally need more robotic startups IMO.

Years ago I 'worked' at Scott Technologies, around the time they were making this 'smart' straw making machine that had the chocolate/strawberry flavour inside the straw and you just put it in some milk and bam. Really cool going from planning to actually testing the robot (was for some client, can't remember who). I did this while on a high school placement programme in year 13.

Your assessment of how a quantum
simulator works is not quite right. These simulators represent the entire probability distribution of basis states succinctly as an array. This array grows very large (exponentially) in the number of qubits.

A simulator only needs to run a computation once (which is multiplication of matrices in a tensor product space) and look at the resulting state. You don't need to run anything multiple times to approximate a quantum state.

The questions you're asking are the whole point of the field of quantum information science. On an ordinary quantum computer where quantum state will collapse to a basis state upon readout, indeed you might need to gather statistics to determine the answer to whatever you've asked your computer. However, "very many times" is mathematically bounded in some way for an ideal quantum computer. It's like saying "we need to do many^many^many^many comparisons to do quicksort". Well yes, but we have a relationship between the size of the input (N) and the average number of comparisons needed (N log N), which makes the algorithm feasible in practice. This is the same with quantum algorithms.

There are also different kinds of quantum algorithms. Some are more probabilistic in nature. Others are—again in purely ideal circumstances—give you the right answer in one go.

As a side note: It is very hard for me to read, understand, and respond to your comments. They seem like random buzzword soups and aren't very coherently put together, mixed with random links and references.
Seconded. I just finally was able to snag two RPi 4s and they arrive today and I'm planning on going a similar route as the GP.
The world of Synology products is fascinating in this regard.

Take photos - They’ve got iOS and android apps that replace your photo app; a truly self-hosted server you run in your home with pretty easy to use DNS support tools. Even shared albums work without much fuss. I think they’ve invested in the UX in recent versions, and it shows.

Sure that could theoretically happen, but so what? Some people you don't know make fun of you for being awkward. It's not the end of the world!
Based on the comments you have shared and the limited context I have, I believe that they understand that you are comfortable with the language and can build feature X if it is what is asked of you. However based on the `large company` emphasis in one of the comments, it could be because they expected your code to be maintainable, extendable or because it might be even lacking tests. In case the code you showcase meets the above given the time constraints you have, then move onto your next interview and do not worry about it. There a lot of factors involving interviews that do not relate at all to you and you should try not to be bothered by advice(white lie) that does not provide any value.
The submission page has a text box for submitting the story on a Google form. This seems like a bad experience. Can you also allow for submitting via a link to a Google Doc at least to preserve formatting of the text? I think this might be a better experience for the author. Just include an email address that the author should share the google doc with so you get access.
Also perhaps if you made an informed purchase, the system knows you looked for information on your item but not that you bought it.
> Better than an ISA is an income-dependent loan with some minimum amount that must be paid back regardless of the program outcome.

Sure, but this is just about the least sexy thing I've ever read. This is the sort of boring, incremental improvement that the world actually builds on, but I'm not sure it's going to attract outrageous amounts of investor capital and make you the hippest new company in the valley.
Obesity is always been one of the main factors in COVID mortality. Really any mortality, for almost every illness being overweight complicates things.

However, it's taboo to outright say that. The Huffington Post runs a regular, "You can be morbidly obese and be perfectly healthy "article. I used to be well over 300 lb, and even now losing weight is one of my primary concerns ( I hover around 240, although when I slack off I'm at 250 again).
FAANG or not I never and would never disclose any serious mental illness.

It can go way too fast from compassion to "he failed at this because he's mentally ill and we should never have hired a lunatic like him in the first place".

Don't talk about it, do your best to manage it outside of work, ask for remote work and a flexible schedule(because you're human not because you're ill).

If you need a few days off ask your doctor for a leave of absence and only say it's for medical reasons without ever mentioning the specifics.

But honestly I think it's kinda crazy to want to work at a FAANG when you have any kind of illness, it's already awfully hard/stressful for healthy/normal people, it seems like torture to manage an illness while working there.

I have paid spotify but I can't remember how I got the all or paid for it, other than there is not way it involved google because I wouldn't do that.

Is this a compromise that gives google some in-app purchases that used to go to spotify, or is it the opposite?

And I wonder if it means some kind of data sharing with google? One whiff of google involvement in the actual experience or data use would be the end of my spotify subscription. If it's just a settlement about app store rules then I don't care.
