> Never understood this idea. If you have a wad of cash and you're bad at tracking your spending, don't you just go through all of the cash and are doubly fucked?

A wad of cash is tangible in a way that a number in an account is not. If the wad is thick, you're in good shape. If the wad is thin, it's time to slow down your spending. And when the wad is gone, you're forced to stop even if you didn't want to.
Cash is great, I moved from the UK to Japan. Now use cash all the time.

I agree (aside from that AWS might think twice about where to strategically expand further given how politics treated Facehook) but I don't get how this is related to what you quoted or any other part of GP's comment.
What about when it does work for people as an oral decongestant though? Are you suggesting that's just randomness? Or perhaps the placebo effect? I guess I'm not entirely convinced it's really useless for that purpose, but I'm just a layman.
This work from Berkeley + Google Brain describes using RL and GANs for transferring motion styles from animals successfully onto robots.

Super neat idea, and love to see ML being used more and more on real robots!

Love the Cost of Transport analysis - naturalistic movement really is very efficient, and good luck getting RL to solve the hard exploration problem of good motion and task performance simultaneously tabula rasa!

It's great to see hand engineered reward functions go the way of the dodo[2] - people are finally coming around to the idea that it was just feature engineering in a difficult-to-reason-about (reward) space! Down with hand specified reward functions! Let imitating nature reign supreme.

What's next, GANs for moral style transfer?[1]

I've got bad news pal: your SSD has a triple-core ARM processor and is connected to the CPU through a bus, which is basically a network, complete with error correction and exact same failure modes as your connection to the new york stock exchange. Even the connection between your CPU and it's memory can prodice errors, it's turtles all the way down.

I'd take that bet at even money all day long. But, maybe it can't. It doesn't change the fact that they are materially closer than they were 5 years ago.San Francisco streets aren't a snack. There are hilly, narrow streets with cable cars, constant construction, homeless people wandering onto the street.

It's real progress. Anyone around Mountain View, or SF will have seen the progress with their own eyes. It's not a theoretical debate.
So the problem is whoever is in charge to say yes to discounts?

Genuinely wondering because I keep not understanding this situation and I'm Dutch. Indeed, if people worry about that it'll use up all the green energy then let facebook pay for replacement renewable infrastructure that supplies MW equal to what they use, to be placed and functional anywhere in NL within X (1?) year(s) after the datacenter is turned on (we're not that big, we can swallow those transmission losses).
We are definitely investigating columnar formats in Tempo to store traces. We expect it to drastically accelerate search as well as open up more complex querying and eventually metrics from distributed tracing data.

However, we are currently primarily targeting Parquet as our columnar format in object storage.

In hindsight, what we don't know is if the people who grinded 50 hours a week would have ended up in a stable situation later in life where they felt confident enough and had the means to take things at their own pace.

Regardless, everything has a cost. If you are in a place where you can spend time at your leisure then that is something to be admired. You likely paid the cost for that (by grinding 50 hours a week) up front.

For the younger crowd here, perhaps they should grind 50 hours a week so they too can build their "fortress of solitude".

But if they can do it at half the cost, that would be ideal wouldnt it?

I'm not sure. From what I've seen, cooking and cleaning are usually considered to be inconvenient. I'd wager that most people do these things themselves because the alternatives are expensive in the long run, in more than one way.

Motorbikes are a thing. Apart from weight/balance relationships to control, many riders are "take control from my dead hands" types so I don't think the market will easily convert to self-driving.

It'll be interesting to see what happens. Maybe motorcycles will fade out or be banned. I will enjoy mine while I can.
This isn't an issue, the changes will be gradual.

The same arguments are made about EVs and not enough power on the grid, but those are similarly false for the same reason, the change will be gradual. Also people love to hate on capitalism but it does a very good job of adjusting for this type of thing, especially when changes are slow.

Waymo Sues the California DMV to Keep Driverless Crash Data Secret
A divers license or state issue ID (much easier to get if you get it before you surrender/expire you DL) is just a defacto standard in the US.

The people who check IDs for medications and alcohol are trained to check DL cards, not passports. It's not surprising that using an ID different from 99.9% of other people causes issues. Although my friend who was a student from Germany never had any issues...

At least I don't go down the anaphylaxis route. Unless the picture changes I won't have starvation issues, malnutrition is definitely an issue. I'm sure it's going to end up having to go with immune suppression (and I have every reason to suspect that's only going to be a temporary solution) but so far I've been able to avoid that.

Never tried the psych stuff. One doctor suggested it but it felt very much like they were pretending it had off-label relevance--but he ignored my saying capsules, not tablets. Sorry, you're not thinking about it and I'm not taking psych stuff without the doctors considering it carefully. And tablets that can't be cold-turkeied are a hard no for me. (I'm going to go sensitive to the tablet binder at some point. If I go sensitive to a capsule I can at least break it open.)

Nobody's suggested the stool testing, is that something new? I'm pretty sure gut flora play a role but I don't have details. (E-mail in my profile.)
"Your DeKalb's Farmers Market", one of the two largest/most popular farmers market stores in metro Atlanta has never accepted credit cards. They do accept debit cards, so it's not quite cash only, but they take a very hard line one the issue of credit cards, having vowed to never accept them. Doesn't seem to have hurt business any as the most common complaint about the place is that it's too crowded.
This is called reading the room and realizing that you're the fall guy. If you're unhappy with being the fall guy, you're violating your manager's expectations of you and thus, pretty literally, hard to work with.

And the solutions are, obviously, you either magically make something out of nothing and upend the pro/con balance in your favor, or you leave what is obviously a disadvantageous position.

If you're interviewing for some role and the hiring manager mentions that they need you to tame some chronic problem, run! There's a good chance that the problem is chronic because internal incentives are sustaining its existence.

On a more serious note, the Russian government is clearly desperate. And it doesn't help that they have little regard for private and personal property or private businesses.

I saw Magic Eye in elementary school and loved them.

I got into making them, but didn't have the actual software, so I used MS Paint. I would take an image and copy and paste it across the screen. Then take a rectangle and shift it over a little bit to make it pop in 3d. Then use the skew tool to make it angled in 3d. Most of them were pretty crap, but the technique worked well for one I made with butterflys. The background was all an image of repeating butterflys, but then some popped out, and their wings perfectly angled in 3d by MS Paint. I'll try to find those old images.

I must have been like 10, I was on a Yahoo message board with the referenced 3Dimka and other stereogram makers. I posted some horrible images and they were like "who is this kid". Haha.

My stereogram obsession faded, but I figured out you could take 3d photos by taking two photos side by side. Then view them in the same way you view a stereogram.

Fast forward a few years, and it's pretty cool to see everything with VR. I still don't have a headset, but it'll be cool to go back through my old photos and see them in 3d. Anyone know anything about the VR stereophoto community?

They are pretty clear about "useful comments" - by what they wrote, it sounds like they already understand what you wrote.
That... is actually a crazy perspective. How much time and energy has the media, the politics, the people, especially the locals already spent on this... something about time spent vs. size of the issue.

Vim and Emacs are the closest, but not quite what I had in mind either -- LSPs get closer, though have issues with mix-mode files (as does nearly every editor really). I have a design doc I wrote up somewhere, I should dig it out.

It was borne specifically out of my difficulty extending Vim to do what I was after when working with PHP frameworks!

Cash is good, in fact Bitcoin was originally proposed as “Peer-to-peer digital cash”. Crypto attempts to extend some of the properties of cash to the internet. Unfortunately Bitcoin has kind of failed in this goal at this point and become used more as a store of value rather than a medium of exchange.

You have good points about the physicality of cash and the guarantee that merchants will accept it. Crypto can be carried around physically with a hardware wallet, though it’s still not quite as good as cash in this regard. And that guarantee that cash is accepted comes with legal tender status. You can’t be guaranteed to be able to spend CAD in US for example, but plenty of the world has multiple legal tenders, see Europe.

I like cryptocurrencies, but admittedly they are still pretty clunky to use. Bitcoin has a lot of development momentum behind it, but I don’t see it as the feasible option going forwards due to the scaling shitshow and lack of privacy (no, taproot won’t solve this because you need privacy by default otherwise private transaction default to “suspicious”). Ethereum is great, I really like Vitalik’s leadership and it arguably has even more development momentum than Bitcoin. Unfortunately it also has the scaling and privacy issues like Bitcoin and additionally it seems to be primarily used to create pump and dump scam coins and shit like NFTs which are always going to clog up the base layer. Monero seems to have the most potential to me. It is like Bitcoin but has default privacy and on-chain scaling (we will have to see how that holds up under more adoption) without the dogma.
For an environment that's supposed to be about making things easier to discover, the glamorous toolkit website is pretty useless. Lots of bragging about how great it as, and lots of unreadable screenshots that do not interest me enough to actually download and install the thing.

> The point is to use it for existing energy consumption, and only then start increasing energy consumption.

Sounds like a good idea, but why start here specifically? There does not seem to be a general ban on expanding other things, e.g. installing a new AC when you don't even have solar panels yet is not discouraged let alone prohibited. Now facebook wants to build something and we trip over each other to complain about it. I mean, yeah, it's facebook, nobody cares if they have to find a suboptimal location and we're a good country to find dwarsliggers in general, but are we doing it for the climate or are we doing it because we don't like facebook?
Big companies put candidates into an ATS (applicant tracking system). You've unknowingly put yourself into such a database. Even if you only have them your email, they can basically get the equivalent of your resume from a variety of sources. They also know you're growing your machine learning skills so they can match you to machine learning jobs.

Now, Amazon's army of recruiters are all running queries in their ATS to find candidates to reach out to. There is likely little to no coordination between these recruiters which is why you're getting multiple people reaching out.

But that's the whole point: if this were a reality there wouldn't be a maybe there. So thanks for making my point.

"Materially closer" isn't the bar to cross the bar to cross is "It just works" which is for me what I'm getting at when I say that we are not 'closer', because it's a binary thing, arrival means 'it works' not that we have made some incremental change towards an ill defined goal.

The 'it works some of the time or even most of the time' bar was crossed years ago, but it needs to work all of the time.
I meant I don’t care what people think of how I write or speak. I don’t care about being nice. My frustration stems from me caring about people. And caring about people who are being mistreated by doctors.
Yeah, many years ago my wife had a fair problem at a bank because the teller didn't like being presented with a passport. "Just bring your driver's license!" Hey, you've already seen and rejected her non-driver's ID (at the time the non-driver IDs didn't have expiration dates and the bank wouldn't take any ID without an expiration date) and here you can't have both a driver's license and a non-driver's ID. It took getting a manager involved.

Now, had this happened a few years earlier before she was naturalized.... While her passport did have the standard English labels it was mostly written in bird tracks.

You didn't get rejected from Amazon, you got rejected for a particular role. Companies recruit and interview for roles individually. You could very likely pass an interview with another team. Who knows. Usually 6-12 months after failing an interview is long enough for them to feel comfortable reaching out to you again.
Indeed, Textadept was one of my go-to editors for this, and scripting it in Lua was fantastic! But again, it's not quite what I am after, and I'm obviously explaining it badly :)

Basically, I'd like the editor to understand the AST of the language(s, including mixed-language files, which is really hard) and be able to hook into parts of that AST to say "while this is a string, it's really this weird DSL that hooks into Javascript, so look for symbols here, here and here".

Its definitely possible to make Vim, Emacs and TA work this way, but its a lot more work than I had in mind, when I tried to extend them (well, not Emacs. It might be best at this, I'm just not a good emacs user) to achieve what I was after at the time, which was understanding the dependency injection annotation patterns from Symfony in PHP.

I think one could get pretty close with LSPs and the powerful AST parsers we have nowadays. Though doing it fast might be difficult!
Nearly everyone who takes any responsibility or even believes that there is such a thing as personal or professional ethics has been systematically purged from the GOP over the past few decades, and the GOP now has 6 votes on the Supreme Court and 50 Senators (=> effective veto of all legislation), and may well end up with congressional majorities after the next election.

so far we've had little need for persistence in pubsub, for the few places we do, we have used oban the same way you have. It would be easy to pull in a library like Yggdrasil and abstract it away. For the most part, we just haven't needed it enough to justify setting up rabbitmq or kafka. k8 is indeed useful but the benefit of elixir here is that I can setup the supervision tree in pure elixir. By keeping things simple, we've been able to focus on pushing out features instead of worrying about infrastructure.
