I firmly believe that ~20-40% of the machine learning community will say that all ML models are dumb statistical interpolators all the way until a few years after we achieve AGI. Roughly the same groups will also claim that human intelligence is special magic that cannot be recreated using current technology.

I think it’s in everyone’s benefit if we start planning for a world where a significant portion of the experts are stubbornly wrong about AGI. As a technology, generally intelligent ML has the potential to change so many aspects of our world. The dangers of dismissing the possibility of AGI emerging in the next 5-10 years are huge.
I know what a data warehouse is for but this whole situation has doesn't even cover the reporting system which itself is a level removed from any actual product decisions and whether those decisions result in incremental revenue to justify this cost. My company is a fraction the size of Shopify but we have a robust data pipeline and reporting on millions of users run by two people and off the shelf software.
It's a full fledged company and somehow Ryan Florence and the other guy are quite heavy handed in pushing their business which irks me. Even react router was moved to a business org called react training if I remember so that they could sell their courses.

> Decriminalisation and regulation are the biggest harm reduction measures that could be taken

It's not actually a solution to the Fentanyl problem.

Fentanyl ends up in drugs because it's extremely cheap (among other reasons). The price difference between fentanyl-laced illicit narcotics and the actual substance these people are seeking is actually massive, and end-user cost becomes a huge motivator for people dependent on constant daily intake of opioids. Even in a hypothetical world where regulated opioids were available over the counter, you'd still have significant inflows of illicit and potentially contaminated drugs.

Decriminalization and regulation have been floated as magic bullets, yet even when it comes to drugs like Marijuana in states like California and Colorado we have multiple estimates suggesting that the majority of marijuana sales are still illicit rather than via regulated channels ( http://www.cahcc.com/Portals/0/ADE%20Cannabis%20Report%20_8-... ).

> The real question we should be asking is why can't these poor people get access to proper medicine and treatment?

There is no one, singular "real question" we should be asking. This needs to be addressed on every level. Even in a theoretically idealized world there would still be a need for fentanyl test strips. Experimenting with "research chemicals" (aka obscure drugs synthesized in clandestine labs) is an increasingly common hobby even among people with access to common drugs. There isn't really a scenario where we just flip the decriminalization switch and all of these problems go away.

Not trying to argue one way or another regarding what you said, but I thought it would be interesting to list the search engines present in safari at the moment, given you mentioned it in your first point.

That would be Google, Yahoo, Bing, Yandex, DuckDuckGo, and Ecosia.

Also, if you use a third-party browser, you can add whichever search engine that you want. Just checked, and Firefox on iOS indeed allows adding any search engine manually.
I’d 100% listen to an “orchestration horror stories” podcast.

* Teammates making inscrutable ETL flows because it lets you make nice/visual based flows, and instead of laying them out sanely, they draw pictures with them. One was particularly fond of making flowers and fish, which-while amusing-was entirely unhelpful when there were pressing prod issues and you’re trying to follow the flow around some flower petals.

* nigh incomprehensible generated SQL

* a design that let users mix orchestration and transformation, so prior teammates created jobs that would stomp on each other’s outputs, because they didn’t orchestrate them sanely

* sometimes the runtime would just…stop for reasons we were still unable to resolve.

* lets you run arbitrary Python/bash/etc script, so people would put all sorts of wild scripts in the flow. Oh also, it’s not Python it’s actually Jython, and it could mutate variables in the shared environment-an old teammate would (ab)use this functionality to set the date-time of some variable that another ETL-flow would use to make a decision (see issues above about mixing orchestration + transformation).

That's because the transaction isn't reversible/is hard to trace the funds. It's not that "code is law" in the sense that smart contracts are extralegal. They would and should have legal recourse if the person were caught.

And coins like USDC can blacklist addresses and comply with regulatory asks. It's hard to buy your argument that smart contracts are extralegal when there are operators that comply with legal authority.

On darknet markets there's a pretty big markup on product sold within Australia compared to what you could get from Europe. I always assumed it was because if you ordered the Europe stuff there was a much higher chance of it not showing up. We also don't share a lengthy land border with a country partially run by cartels.

So I would be shocked if it was anywhere near as easy to get drugs in to Australia as it is the US, let alone easier.

> This only applied to federal portion of "democracy" until the 14th amendment

Just occured to me ... this just isn't the case for state constitutions. They serve the precise same role: marking out what is off-limits to "regular" democratic processes. To the extent that state and federal constitutions do not agree, there's some space for conflict and litigation there (or at least, there was), but the principle of A constitution (vs. "The Constitution") remains the same.
Can’t named pattern groups do the same thing the f-strings do here? (As a bonus named patterns work in old Python 2 code, which yes nobody should be using anymore, but just sayin’) I don’t have an opinion or even good mental model about the advantages of either choice, but I was pretty excited to learn about named patterns and promptly used it to make a hacky (but interesting to me) small parser for identifying tokens and keywords and operators with differing precedence.

Recently bought land for farming, all the soil is pretty compacted clay and full of limestone. I've tried a lot of things to change or avoid certain soil conditions. But for one thing it gets a lot easier when you're planting trees and perennials that don't mind the soil you have.

Some things I've done for veg gardens:

Some raised beds built with locust wood -- relatively cheap in my area and lasts forever outdoors. They're about 2ft deep and dirt and compost on top of about 1ft of logs. We are repeating this process in a larger garden without raising the beds. We're basically using what we have to produce something like Hügelkultur[0]. One of our advantages is that we have tons of rotting wood and grasses, we plan to use that as much as possible to produce soil that works well for annual veg.

To prep the ground we plowed with a rotary plow to invert the sod. The grass had 6 months to decompose then we harrowed -- tilling but no soil inversion. Essentially tines sink into the ground and rotate on a plate parallel to the ground. In some of the hardest areas we used a sub-soiler attached to a 2-wheel tractor, which creates a disturbance beneath the hard pan so that roots can get in.

A few years ago we did a big garden directly in straw bales -- I can't remember exactly the details. It was cool because you could grow stuff all over the sides too. The downside was that it's pretty expensive to set up and it's torn down every year.

We planted a bunch of apple trees. For that we used an auger attached to a sub-compact tractor to get holes. This was pretty rough with the rocks and clay especially because the auger does not have reverse. Which meant that every time it got stuck we had to disassemble it, drill a 2x4 into the side and spit it out by hand. Once we had the holes we put a mix of dirt, lime, compost. The trees seem to be doing great.

Our main thing is willow trees which don't seem to mind the clay at all. But getting them in the ground required a rotary hammer drill.

I upvoted both your comment and GP. Here, hopefully this helps your comment feel more productive: this is a Result type, albeit yes not a Monad. It’s (AFAIK) the idiomatic way the type is expressed in Go, so maybe cumbersome to implement but trivial to adopt.

It’s also something I realized was lost in the JS progression towards Promise APIs and eventually async/await. Promises have ergonomic benefits over callback hell, but damn if the Node convention of cb: (error, result) => { /* … */ } wasn’t a Result type sitting there begging to be embraced. Again, not a Monad, but it’s a shame the good API design was thrown out with the inconvenient API design.
Free supply won’t really be a solution and I can’t imagine why it would. Would making junk food and soda free food end the obesity epidemic?

Making it free will only make that area a hub for people seeking to get high. Portland, Seattle, and SF are already hot spots where people actively come because they know they can get high easily. Making it completely free is just an even bigger invitation.

I think one of America’s greatest successes has been with tobacco. For the most part, Americans don’t want to smoke and find the idea disgusting—that’s a massive turnaround from a couple decades ago and even completely different from many countries in Europe or Asia. It’s also getting harder and harder to purchase tobacco in many places, but what kept me and much of my generation from ever touching a cigarette was media campaigns in the 90s that depicted cigarette smokers as vile, disgusting people. Other anti-drug programs try fear mongering with saying one dose of weed will kill you or whatever and people saw through that. But telling kids that they’re gross losers who everyone hates if they use a substance? That has a bit more effect.

But for people who are active addicts, treatment is hard. There are countless interviews with addicts on YouTube, and the conclusion every single one of them presents is “I could’ve gotten help, but I didn’t want it.” You need to make people want to overcome their addiction. Feeding it won’t do anything.

My background is in international finance, and therefore when I promise you that DAI cannot defend a virtual peg without holding large amounts of actual underlying US treasuries or physical USD, I'm only making that promise because it's been true for every currency that has ever attempted to maintain a peg with the US dollar. Maybe it's "different this time" but I sincerely doubt it.

I likewise encourage you to think about this from first principles and read up on the mechanics of a currency peg. You MUST be able to quickly sell T-bills on the market swiftly to defend your currency peg, otherwise you will see your currency break from the pegged range. DAI is shifting the reserves from directly holding USD or T-bills to holding USDC instead, which isn't the same thing as USD and WILL cause problems for DAI.

And prices in my area have skyrocketed due to all the transplants.
Probably because the morass of red tape and bureaucracy in the way of building a competitor has made such an endeavor difficult to accomplish and that this was the case from the very beginning of net infrastructure. Recall that Ma Bell was made national carrier in exchange for not competing against smaller carriers. When the government starts picking winners and losers rather than letting companies duke it out in the market place, you get long term consequences like incumbent carriers that are economically inclined to only do marginally better than its competitors, if anything at all.

And that's not considering the extreme bureaucratization and state instituted monopoly clauses that prevent profitable investment in infrastructure even from titans like Google.

It is legal to discriminate there is a valid reason to believe the disability prevents the person from doing the work. For example someone in a wheelchair isn't going to be able to work jobs which require standing. And it could certainly be argued that someone who freezes in communication situations could be unfit for many programming jobs where communication and confrontation is common.

Honestly the ideal situation here would probably be for OP to receive some kind of disability payment from the government and continue to work on open source projects.

The debugger shows me four consecutive bytes as: 0x89ABCDEF

That means it has already interpreted it as one quantity, so at that point endianness is completely irrelevant.

Succinctly, why is the big-endian number 0x01234567 not known as 0x76543210 to little-endians?

Once again you are mixing up the visual representation with the in-memory. There is no such thing as "the big-endian number" or "the little-endian number". You have already written an indivisible number, and interpreted it according to the human convention.

SQL Join Types – Inner Join vs Outer Join Example
If you own hundreds of domains, you're welcome to try, but there's no good reason to. Fingerprinting scripts rely on a canvas being identical between sessions to identify that the same user is even there in the first place. If you can already single out one user's activity across a hundred domains, you don't need to fingerprint them any further.
So you either call re.compile on it or, as in the example in the article, you call one of the re module's functions that takes a pattern string as an argument.
