That's a very different can of worms. I've used third party libraries for Windows Services since forever because the .NET Framework templates were never great and Windows Services are a bad idea that are dumb to create and I think awful to maintain/manage.

At this point, personally, given the choice, I'd rather just create boring CLI applications that I can stick in cron jobs (or Windows Scheduled Tasks) than ever create another Windows Service if I can avoid it.

Given how dumb it is to create Windows Services and how dumb it is getting to create systemd-style services for Linux I can't possibly imagine how anyone could abstract that well cross-platform. That sounds like an awful minefield to create lowest common denominators that no one likes.

I think we already have such a cross-platform abstraction: it's classic CLI apps and whatever task runners you can find/stomach. .NET Core/.NET 5+ is great at cross-platform CLI apps.
No one said you're supposed to contact anyone about the spam. If the problem could be solved on their end, this catch-all/tagging solution wouldn't need to exist in the first place. The assumption is that people can't be trusted with your email address, so you create a way that their incompetence/malice can't hurt you, and then you go about your business.

Imagine criticizing helmets because children keep falling off their bikes.

> with that delightful UX where it's /invisible/ until you wave the magic cursor around in the right place.

There is a button at the top of the editor, to the right of the filter input. The buttons that show up on hover are for inserting the new style at a specific position in the cascade, if needed -- but that's a rarer occurrence, which is why it's not visible by default.

> And it broke because Chrome is "being helpful" by forcing structure in the UI, so it instantly turned into a lot of crossed out lines with yellow warning triangles, and there's there's no visible delete option, no context menu delete, it doesn't respond to the delete key

I agree that one should be able to paste any CSS block or declaration and expect the style editor to parse it. But it's also worth keeping in mind that the only difference in this particular situation is pasting the declaration instead of the surrounding block, and you'd get the results you're after. Chromium's dev tools are definitely not perfect, but I think Firefox's method is much more cumbersome from a developer's perspective.
How realistic or common is it to mix C# and F# in one code base? As an example, even though Java and Scala run on the same JVM their ecosystems have mostly diverged. In contrast to the Scala situation F# has been officially supported by MSFT for years so it's probably different on the .NET.
Its very easy to beat the general purpose ones if you know your exact use case.

Ex: 16-bit pointers is a 65536-sized heap. Assume 8-bytes per element, that's 512KB of space. A bit small, but large enough to so a lot of things.

65536 elements can be represented as a bitmask. The bitmask only takes up 8192-bytes (8KB), which fits inside of 16 AVX512 registers (Intel offers 32x AVX512/ZMM registers btw). Or it fits inside of GPU __shared__ memory.

If you need multithreaded, you perform atomic AND and atomic OR to clear, and set, the bitmask as appropriate.

-------

Do you know the exact size of your heap? The size of the pointer? The amount of parallelism involved? What about the size of the elements? Access pattern? (Bump-alloc'd Linked Lists are a sequential traversal over RAM btw, so that's very efficient), etc. etc.

The 64-bit pointer is overkill for most people's purposes. 32-bits represents 4-billion objects, and if each object is 16-bytes long that's 64GBs of RAM. Right here right now, a 32-bit pointer / custom allocator already offers many benefits over the 64-bit pointer. (half-sized pointers, more data in cache, etc. etc.)

“Right when it was formulated.”

False, like many ‘Beyond the bang’ physics hypothesis, these are non falsifiable claims that can still be interesting to discuss since humans can think about such abstractions.

(Note that Gödel et al. showed that non-falsifiable does not necessarily mean false).

I consider myself a socialist-leaning individual who favors the abolition of large portions of inherited wealth and I am very sympathetic to Rawls' arguments.

I think you are reasoning backwards (from the preferred social/political outcome, rather than starting with the ethical principles that make one social/political outcome preferred over another).
Not sure what the problem is here? You require that a locksmith sits in a brick and mortar store waiting for phone calls? Their tools fit in a backpack, there's literally no need for a physical location. I guess unless you're getting keys copied but any hardware store can do that.
What about something which changes is always equal to itself? Or experience is real. Static statements. Curious how you’d deny these kinds of things.
If you're massively invested in crypto you need to pour a lot of money into legitimizing it and putting out fires wherever possible. Imagine you're running a scam on the street - let's imagine a dozen people playing "guess the card" (and cheating). Someone comes up and goes "woah, I saw that guy cheating, hey everyone this whole thing is a scam" - now you have two options, disavow that one guy and say "well the other card games are legit", or prop that scammer up and say "no no, that's just how the cards are played, it's a very complex system".

The latter is appealing since it admits no fault in the system. If people generally see these card games as having a high potential for being a scam, you want to avoid that scrutiny even at a very high cost.
You are going to be tapped at the ground station trunk lines regardless.
You seem to be ideologically opposed to the very idea of public schools, and yet apparently have no problem working for one for years even though there are for-profit private schools or programs that you could be working for.

Something doesn't add up. I'm going to assume you are trolling and leave this conversation now.
>Citation needed.

That's a lazy critique. With a lack of concrete evidence either way, we can only rely on the best explanation (theory). What's your explanation for how an AGI is just an ant with more compute? I've given my explanation for why it's not: an AGI would need to have the ability to create new explanatory knowledge (i.e. not just synthesize something that it's been trained to do).

As an example, you can currently tell almost any person (but certainly no other animal or current AI) "break into this room without destroying anything and steal the most valuable object in it". Go ahead and try that with a faster ant.

On your tutoring example, just because a given person doesn't use their special capabilities doesn't mean they don't have them. Your example could just as easily be interpreted to mean that tutors just haven't figured out how to tutor effectively. As a counter example, would you say your phone doesn't have the ability to run an app which is not installed on it?

>Current AI has approaches for all these.

But has it solved them? Or is there an explanation as to why it hasn't solved them yet? What new knowledge has AI created?

I know as a member of a ML research group you really want current approaches to be the solution to AGI. We are making progress I admit. But until we can explain how general intelligence works, we will not be able to program it.

Nice! I tried this a few years ago, and while this worked nicely for inbound email, deliverability outbound was really bad, even with DKIM etc. set. Normal mails from <my domain> were fine.

1. A strategic merge patch says "this is your state now" (the only difference is the scope of the state in question, with a full manifest including a bunch of extraneous stuff)

2. "make these changes to your existing state" is still declarative
correct! Here's why: Kubernetes is an operating system (a workload/IO manager) and its lineage is 16 years old. So it's like Unix around 1979, or Windows/DOS around ~1996. Imagine it's 1996 and you can pick between Windows NT (representing 16 years of MS development) or System 360 (~40 years out from IBMs first transistorized designs).

What I'm trying to say is that as an operating system, Kubernetes is now a young adult, and historically speaking, operating systems at this level of maturity have been adopted and ridden for decades, with much success. But, ya know, if you chose OS/360 in 1996 you would have a point.
During COVID, we relied on the existing relationships and the shared context to get things done. In fact, it was a once in a century event and was easy to rally troops, the same way it is easy to unify a society when there is a war.

Now that most of the team is churned, I am observing a steep drop in productivity. New members have neither any shared context nor any meaningful bonds between them. If I were to bet, I would put my money on in-person teams easily outperforming fully-remote teams. Looking forward to see some data in the next few years.
What cameras are you thinking of using?

I've been looking at cameras from ubiquiti but I'm new to camera tech and have found it hard to find out "do they want me to use their service / subscription?" and etc.
Its still work to be done. Thats something that is not even an /issue/ if you dont need much except the tools that already come with your distribution.

Like, i think its best to wait like, 10 years, and see how the whole thing worked out. Maybe we need another systemd or two until people realize that software is still a liability even if you aren't the one who is maintaining it.

Hey! Jared here. I am a software engineer with extensive (8 years now) experience in Azure. I have done everything from being a team lead, a Senior level engineer, Site Reliability Engineer and even a tester! I can do it all. I have worked solo on major projects at startups as well as in larger companies. I am looking to get back into a Senior level engineer role, preferably on the backend.

I have a lot of experience moving services onto Kubernetes and microservices. If you have some gnarly distributed system problems let's talk!

Didn’t see a referendum for appending human rights. Recently it seems like fringe organizations declaring something a human right is a way to try to override democratical process.
This guy was noticed because tumbled crypto was sent back to his main and publicly known wallet. Obviously he did lots of other careless things (e.g. operate sock puppet accounts that did nothing but do early buys of OpenSea front page NFT). But couldn’t he have at least sent the money to other anonymous wallets and then cash out?
It is not ammonia powered. It is hydrogen powered. The hydrogen is pulled from the ammonia and used in the fuel cell. Doesn't the hydrogen in the ammonia originally come from coal or gas?

So, is this more of a test for using ammonia as an intermediary storage for hydrogen fuel? Not the headline but that seems way more of a revolutionary concept. That could make the hydrogen economy competitive with gasoline?

Scalable relational storage is relatively new to industry consciousness (outside of Google, where Spanner is used for nearly everything).

Spanner and Vitess existed at Google in the early 2010s. It was mid-to-late 2010s before CockroachDB, TiDB, and Vitess were available as open source.

Battle hardened database administrators who've been working with traditional unscalable databases for decades often aren't up-to-date with what's possible today unless they frequently talk shop with peers at other companies or go to conferences.

Personally I hope old databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL die out within the next decade. They served us well, but they're 25+ years old and the weight of legacy code plus the need for backwards compatibility is a huge drag on their ability to evolve.

I had a small house that happened to be in different years: at a 10 minutes walk from my office, at a 1h 15m commute from my next job, the place where I've been working when I became self employed. With hindsight (which I didn't have) I would go to the office close to home for meetings and probably go out to lunch with colleagues (it foster careers.) But nothing beats working from home with one's own customers.

Anything that will get your heartrate into zone 2 and keep it there for the duration of the exercise. It really depends on what you prefer to do since being consistent with it is the most important thing. If you're unsure, you could always join a gym with a decent selection of equipment and try each of the machines for a week and see which one you feel like sticking with. If you don't want to go to a gym then your options are more limited, pretty much just the ones you listed.

If you don't really do any exercise at all at the moment I'd recommend starting with just walking for 45 minutes, you'll need to do that or some other low intensity exercise for a while to build up to being able to doing 45 minutes of fairly intense cardio. Do a search on YouTube for "how to start running" and you'll find a lot of good plans that you can use and they generalize pretty well to other types of cardio.
“A gecko born did not self-improve.”

This might not necessarily be true, for example, a genetic defect that a gecko figures out how to leverage through self improvement (to feed itself) might then be passed on to offspring.
The answer is yes, and no. There are definitely a lot of the large tech companies who plan on being back in office. They are at various stages of how they are enforcing it. There are also a number of large tech companies that have committed to a kind of nebulous middle ground where offices are open but it’s up to each organization or sometimes even team if they are in office, fully remote or somewhere inbetween. Then there are a few large but especially a significant number of smaller tech companies that have fully embraced remote. Finding it to be a good way to differentiate and attract workers they otherwise would not get. Finally there are companies that still can’t seem to make up their mind and leave everyone in a limbo state of what is going to happen.

Yeah, totally, I get you. I'm not trying to do a takedown, ER is just hard.

The point I was trying to make is that at scale one does not simply:

> compare these embeddings with all the other embeddings you have

You just can't, similarity metrics (especially cosine) on 768 dim arrays are prohibitively slow.

Using embeddings is quite common in the literature and in deployment (I have, in fact, deployed ER that uses embeddings), but only as part of #2, the matching step. In many projects, doing full pairwise comparisons would take on the order of years, you have to do something else to refine the comparison sets first.

>Consistent with this explanation, our Offices confirmed that the SDK tracked, as Events, home, office, geofenced locations (including its competitors), and travel in and out of Canada. For example, news articles had noted that an event was recorded with computer code such as “user.entered.place” with “place.name”: “Rogers Centre”, or “user.entered.office”.Footnote 16 Using open-source resources and tools, the investigative team’s technology analysts determined that the SDK programming code included the following:

USER_ENTERED_HOME; USER_EXITED_HOME;
USER_ENTERED_OFFICE; USER_EXITED_OFFICE;
USER_STARTED_TRAVELING; USER_STOPPED_TRAVELING; and
USER_ENTERED_GEOFENCE; USER_EXITED_GEOFENCE.

This is just downright appalling.
I really wish they aggregated the metric of build time (+ whatever).

That is a huge metric I care about.

You can figure out it somewhat by clicking on each language benchmark but it is not aggregated.

BTW as biased guy in the Java world I can tell you this is one area Java is actually mostly the winner even beating out many scripting languages apparently.
Sometimes NDAs prevent even revealing the scope of the NDA, because knowing the scopes of things is then potentially exposing information a party doesn't want known by others. Sure, maybe Framework could just go and state those things, but they're potentially burning their relationships with key partners that might be necessary to make the product at the moment.

I'm not arguing this is a good thing, just trying to share some perspective.
Eric Schmidt: However, our report says that it's really important for us to find a way to maintain two generations of semiconductor leadership ahead of China. Now, the history here is important. In the 1980s, we created a group called SEMATECH. We had a bunch of semiconductor manufacturing in America. Eventually that all moved to East Asia, primarily Singapore, and then South Korea and now Taiwan through TSMC. The most important chips are made in Samsung and TSMC, South Korea, and Taiwan. China has had over 30 years to plan to try to catch up. It's really difficult.

Eric Schmidt: We don't want them to catch up. We want to stay ahead. We call for all sorts of techniques to try to make sure that we rebuild a domestic semiconductor and semiconductor manufacturing facility within the United States. This is important, by the way, for our commercial industry as well as for national security for obvious reasons. By the way, chips, I'm not just referring to CPU chips, there's a whole new generation, I'll give you an example, of sensor chips that sense things. It's really important that those be built in America.

https://www.hoover.org/research/pacific-century-eric-schmidt...

What are the chips that "sense things" and that Schmidt wants so much to prevent from being available to China and any other country?

Short answer: electromagnetic sensors used to spy on everybody so Google can show them "relevant ads" and profit. You will find them embedded on your CPU, on the nearest cellphone tower's transmitter and on Starlink satellites.

Slightly longer answer: since the 1980s, Silicon Valley has used semiconductor radars to collect data about what you think (your inner speech) by means of machine learning with data extract from wireless imaging of your face and body. It has proved very convenient for them, as this enables blackmail, extortion, theft, sabotage and murder like nothing else. They can do this because they design the semiconductor used on your phone, computer, TV, car and for your telecom supplier's network equipment, which makes possible to embed silicon trojans everywhere.

Don't underestimate what machine learning can do. e.g. Study shows AI can identify self-reported race from medical images that contain no indications of race detectable by human experts.

https://news.mit.edu/2022/artificial-intelligence-predicts-p...

Also, don't underestimate the number of people Silicon Valley is willing to kill to maintain a monopoly, as you may be the next victim.
