I use Facebook exclusively for business, but not via Ads or an official company page. I use my personal page, for business.

0. I unfriended all of my friends from high school & college and connected with thousands of peers in my field.

1. I post work related content as statuses & in relevant Facebook Groups focused on creating value for the reader.

2. It drives visitors to my Facebook profile, which is optimized like a landing page to compels visitors to click a link in my profile

3. This link goes to 'indoctrination content' that drives users onto our email list, YouTube channel, Facebook Group, and signup to our B2B SaaS.

I can attribute approx $1.5m in consulting revenue & 4,000 SaaS signups to this strategy over the last 2 years. Note, not 100% Facebook, I implement the exact same playbook on LinkedIn too.
I have a feeling that too much knowledge might slow learning process as it's harder to spot/test observe steepest gradient. At least that's how it feels intuitively from human PoC. From computation that would be just little more computation but I guess would mean slower convergence also. Taking math as more extreme example it's hard to understand something complex unless you understand basic algebra.

Anyone knows if this might be true mathematically speaking? Does order of data matters?
Yes! MetricFlow is core to everything we do so there will be tons of active development from our team.
Athena isn't fully closed source. It's a customized, hosted version of Presto originally built by Facebook.

Apache Drill is in a similar space to Athena and can query unstructured or semi structured data like object/S3

I'm fairly fresh to this field, so hopefully someone else can come along and give a better answer. I just picked up an iCE40[1] and Cyclone IV dev board[2] and started hacking Verilog.

I know Verilog isn't the best option around, and I'm planning on moving onto something better but for now it was easy to get started, and from what I could see many of those better tools end up generating Verilog so would be nice to be able to debug that.

If you know how to think in logic-gate-terms then FPGAs won't be that difficult I suspect. Essentially either you have plain logic gates where the output is purely a function of the inputs, or you have edge-triggered logic thanks to flip-flops.

Just think of it as writing code that specifies how to wire up set of logic gates, muliplexers and flip-flops.

As a brief example, here's an excerpt from my very first ALU:

wire [8:0] res_and;
wire [8:0] res_xor;
wire [8:0] res_add;

assign res_and = (bus_a & bus_b);
assign res_xor = (bus_a ^ bus_b);
assign res_add = (bus_a + bus_b);

always @(posedge clk)
case (op_sel)
OP_AND: result <= res_and;
OP_XOR: result <= res_xor;
OP_ADD: result <= res_add;
default: result <= 0;
endcase

Here "bus_a" and "bus_b" are wires (which may come from registers), while "result" is a register.

The wires don't hold state, while registers can. The <= means to latch the right side into the left side, in this case on a positive edge of clk. The case statement is just a multiplexer.

At least to me, it feels very much like "writing a circuit".

> There is NO risk to the bureaucrats if they keep stalling on unleaded and let everyone run 100LL for all eternity

This is oversimplifying. Yes, there is a bureaucratic bias towards inaction. But stonewalling is an action. The GAO audit the author posits could very well endgame key decision makers' careers.
Second this question. Never heard of IBM being exceptional for k8s. Curious to know what makes OP say it’s so good.
Essentially if everyone had $1000 extra then everything would cost $1000 extra. So if you went from 0 to $1000, you'd just be left with $1000 and nothing to spend it on. You can't eat money.
TRAMP is great, but to me it never feels the same as running locally. OTOH ssh -X (i.e. X forwarding) works for me for exactly this specific case (large and powerful remote dev box).

Incidentally my current setup is that I'm WFH and RDP'ing into my windows desktop, where I run VNC to our xvnc server where I ssh -X to the dev box where I run GUI emacs. It is surprisingly usable (I can also skip the RDP and run VNC directly if needed).
It's not money creation that causes inflation, it's _excess_ money creation.

Banks only loan money to people who have good credit, and can pay it back. Those people with good credit will work to pay it back. This work is often worth more than the loan + interest, and thus, wealth is created by this process. E.g., you borrow money to build a business. And for consumer loans, the consumer would have to work harder to pay it back in the future, or sacrifice future consumption to pay it back.

Money "printing" by banks are unlikely to cause inflation, unless they lent so much that productivity increases cannot keep up.

Money printing by governments, however, will cause inflation. Venezuela and Zimbabwe both printed to solve their debt problems and spending obligations. But these aren't loans, and spending these money does not increase productivity. Therefore, they cause inflation.
sharemywin, I don't get it, the section on collection (first subsection at the top) says:

"Collection, as a function of intelligence, appears straightforward, and its necessity is not seriously challenged."

This seems like nonsense. Isn't the fourth amendment obviously a challenge to it:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized"

?

do you personally believe that the benefits listed on the first page you linked ( https://irp.fas.org/offdocs/int006.html ), namely covert action, counterintelligence, support to American diplomacy, support to monitoring of treaties and other agreements, support to military operations, support to defense planning, economic intelligence, counterterrorism, counternarcotics, counterproliferation, countering international organized crime, support to criminal justice and regulatory agencies, collecting and analyzing environmental information, collecting and analyzing information on world health problems, and information warfare, outweigh the downsides to the intrusion of privacy without a judge particularly describing the place to be searched in each case, and the persons or things to be seized?

What makes you believe that the benefits outweigh the downsides? If the people looking at the above weren't looking at it, they could be doing something more productive with their lives even witout an intelligence community.

2.

regarding your second link, I checked it out, it says "Please note, the CLPT Officer’s statutory duty extends only to the administration of programs and operations of the ODNI" which is just a small part of the intelligence community as a whole. it's like the "white house" of the intelligence community. a complaint to the white house wouldn't fix something wrong with the senate, and likewise a complaint to ODNI couldn't fix anything wrong in the intelligence community if "the CLPT Officer’s statutory duty extends only to the administration of programs and operations of the ODNI." It's like if I complained to the President about a local politician. What's the President supposed to do about it? In the case of IC it seems there is no actual legitimate oversight. And unlike the Senate, they're not elected.

So why pay for it? These people could do something else with their lives other than snoop on people.
It was a bet-the-company move and would have bankrupted IBM had it failed. They literally discontinued all other product lines in one swoop and consolidated the entire company's architecture around a single, compatible processor spec. That is standard today and was unheard of at the time.

Not sure where you're currently at and considering moving to, but GKE has been much simpler than EKS. Not sure about cost but it'll likely save some operations time (auto scaling is a single check box, no IAM, scaling controllers, etc)
I agree that Wolfram gets a lot of unnecessary hate by people online and the scientific community and that Wolfram has a lot of interesting things to say but I also see why the community at large bashes on him so regularly. Wolfram is arrogant, self centered and self congratulatory. I often find that I have to really work to find the content in what Wolfram says after wading through what sounds like marketing. I'm often wondering why Wolfram just doesn't talk about the research or ideas he's trying to push instead of trying to tell me why I need to know it's really important.

To me, Wolfram treats science and discovery as a kind of business opportunity while pretending it's for the greater good. Open source, peer review, transparency, etc. all give way to his "strong man" personality.

Not to fall afoul of Wittgenstein's ruler, I think Wolfram got right the principle of Turing Machine Equivalence. The idea that Turing machine completeness is the norm, rather than the exception, is something that I think people at large don't really understand or accept (and which I think is correct and profound). I will point out that there's work to be done here in trying to prove TME for other 1D cellular automata, not just rule 110, to further cement this point in these toy systems.

A fundamental thing that I think Wolfram got wrong is that something fundamentally new needs to supplant scientific discovery and mathematics. Often times discrete systems turn into continuous systems, and vice versa, so throwing out everything and starting over seems counterproductive. I'm in favor of bringing computational tools, both symbolic and numerical, in helping discovery but this is already happening. I also don't understand how this can be done if scientific discovery and tooling isn't democratized in the way that open source focuses on.

I think framing Wolfram solely in terms of his marketing for Mathematica and his ANKoS book is overly reductive but I also think it perverts his research, the way he presents his research and explains a lot of why people can come away with that feeling that he's a con artist.

> That said, it seems pretty indefensible that it’s taken the FAA more than a decade to reach a decision on an unleaded avgas alternative.

But that's fast. Compare the FDA's decision on whether to continue mandating the exact ingredients in a "French dressing", which took 24 years despite being unopposed: https://reason.com/2022/01/12/the-fda-finally-liberates-fren...
You are correct, But as I understand, They get "RAW" file access to the S3 hard disk (or the equivalent) in their solution. So no matter what solution I might spawn, it will always be slower and more expensive.

Maybe I should have said "closed internal access features"
Maybe they're using Openshift (OKD). Openshift has a bunch of value add features they add a template marketplace and turn it into a hybrid PaaS with some other multitenancy management bits afaik

There needs to be some kind of "pay for delay" scheme. If a federal agency takes 2 years to make a decision because they're really worried about getting sued for making the wrong decision, they should have to pay for the fact the decision took so long.

That way they can trade off speed of decisions vs quality of decisions.
For the international offer, cancellation is possible "with one click from the subscriber’s online account" (it is in the special conditions).

The part with the registered letter (not just simple mail!) is for the regular (French) subscription. But to be fair, the best way to cancel these kinds of subscriptions where they make it hard for you is to just block the payment at your bank. In theory, you can get sued, but in practice, they will simply cancel your subscription. There are strong consumer protection laws regarding recurring subscriptions (because there is a lot abuse) and if the company wants to take it to court, they need a rock solid case otherwise it will backfire, so usually, they don't bother.

I don't know about the french side, but english side of the CBC has been publishing an awful lot of political activism. Then again Quebec has CAQ and Bloc as representatives?

It has gotten to the point that Conservative party pretty much runs on defunding them. Detrimentally and they are aware of it, they don't care, it's the right thing to do. An election in 2025 will be a Conservative win. CBC is on the brink of going away.
I think the question is what happens when that money goes to the lowest income individuals and not the wealthiest, corporations, and the Military?

If everyone has more money and there is constrained supply of a desired thing the price will go up. Housing prices, for example, would almost certainly rise with a UBI.

Not saying a UBI would be a bad idea, but it would almost certainly cause massive inflation because the lowest income individual of society would have the largest increase in spending power—supply and demand and all that.
Glad to hear that. I would very much appreciate your comments on the site when you are done reading it.

You're starting from an assumption that your own country's security services are themselves a threat, so I doubt that this discussion will be fruitful.

There are two main protective functions of a country's securiy service, usually split into separate departments or organizations:

- Internal threats (terrorism, organized crime, sedition, etc)

- External threats (espionage, propaganda, disinformation, sabotage, etc)

These services work to neutralize bad actors, thwart their plans, and support their prosecution.

Like in all government institutions, there is a chain of responsibility going all the way up to the commander in chief.

In order to have a stable society, you need protection from these threats (in addition to protection from physical threats).

Random thought, what if that $1000 UBI was instead a percentage of something else? I'm not sure what though. The GDP Deflator? Total stock market cap? Something to keep it on a level playing field with everything else.

In my view, The Witness is the best video game of all times.

On the surface, it's a puzzle game. I bought it (for something ridiculous like €5 on the iPad I believe) expecting to enjoy a few logic puzzles and remembering the games of my childhood like Myst and The 7th Guest (and I was also happy that, unlike many games it wasn't about shooting people). But it ended up a much bigger deal than that. I found The Witness (which doesn't have dialog or a plot) immersive like no other game and I think about it every week, years after completing the game.

If it's not about the puzzles, what is it about? To avoid spoilers, here are just a few hints:

• The Witness is a game about learning and perception. And about meditation. (That's only my interpretation, though; like any work of art, you may have another valid interpretation).

• The author, Jonathan Blow, is a "programmer's programmer", who built his own game engine for The Witness and is in the process of writing his own programming language for his next project. He's also an interesting speaker. Here he talks about depression: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7kh8pNRWOo&ab_channel=Jonat...

• The Witness is as close to a video game equivalent of "film d'auteur" as you can get (at least compared to most of the other games out there, which are commercial Hollywood productions)

(Disclaimer: I'm not a gamer, and haven't played more than 2-3 games in the last decade.)

One option is to store files as a database like SQLite, which I assume is designed around not rewriting the whole file on every change. For example Audacity 3.x does this.

However SQLite stores multiple files on disk for crash persistence, complicating matters. But then again so does Audacity 2, and Microsoft Office to an extent (file locking rather than data integrity).

Microsoft Word used to only append changes to the document on save rather than rewriting the whole file, but this was disabled since if you deleted text and saved the file, it remained in the document. https://www.cnet.com/culture/microsoft-disabling-word-2003s-...

I agree. It bears repeating: Where modern AI shines is where it does not matter to be precise, where programming absolutely _depends_ on being precise.

So, today some good AI applications are face detection, fingerprint detection, or generating art. Where you need to catch or generate the general gist of it without pixel precision.

Of course, programming might be under greater threat than we imagine. I can also not claim that anyone holding that position is just plain _wrong_. But I do believe that would take an AI breakthrough that is yet to happen. That breakthrough would also have absolutely crazy consequences beyond programming, because now we would have "exact AI" and the thought of that boggles my mind for sure.
Isn't it more important who gets the money and how the money is spent? Like if you create a trillion dollars but it goes to a single person who is incapable of spending it all so most of it winds up in high priced assets or investments vs. creating a trillion dollars and splitting it evenly among the entire population where it would wind up being spent on a wide variety of goods and services. In my mind, inflation is like bidding at an auction, the more people that participate and the more money they each have, the higher the prices will trend since they will attempt to outbid each other for the limited supply of goods. We saw this effect during the pandemic when spending shifted away from restaurants, entertainment and vacations to home improvements and home gyms for example. The prices at hardware and fitness stores went through the roof because there were suddenly more dollars and a big pool of people buying the same things.
Exactly. With the ongoing disaster of COVID Bucks, I can't believe people aren't embarrassed enough that they still want to bring UBI up.

This was one of the most mind-blowing things I learnt about money. So many people assume the government prints money, but in fact government printed money is about 2% of the money in the economy. The vast majority of it is created by banks when they make loans, which are predominantly mortgages. Banks have been consistently creating money via mortgages at a higher rate than people are paying them back for decades. This is possible because house prices are constantly rising.

So, I get the frustration with bureaucracy. I'm an environmental engineer and I deal with analogies to this a lot. But to be honest, this seems like a non-issue to me either way. Like, sure, lead is bad, but one should take into account mass and concentrations before reaching for the ban hammer.

There are so few aircraft running leaded gas I can't imagine that environmental lead concentrations, could ever be at the right order of magnitude to be a problem for anyone(except probably AT airfields near fueling stations and maintenance areas). These aren't typically areas where children get exposed.
