I would go further--there is a whole infrastructure that needs to appear when massive concurrency is involved and very few times is that taken into account.

For those people interested in genuine massive concurrency, I encourage people to investigate Erlang. In my opinion, the language itself is just "meh", but OTP, the infrastructure around managing, upgrading, restarting, etc. processes/threads, is extremely on point.

Side note: Erlang still has the absolute best handling of binary parsing of any language ever. https://www.erlang.org/doc/programming_examples/bit_syntax.h...

I really wish the Rust people would pick something like the Erlang Bit Sytax up and integrate it with their pattern matching (probably necessitating some pattern matching language fixes) rather than the amount of effort they continue to piddle on async/await.

Two things I enjoy about crypto:

1) I can send large payments effortlessly. I tried to move large sums using eTransfers last year and the friction is just unreal. I don't give a shit about my bank's arbitrary monthly limits

2) Fuck inflation. The fact that I can't park my money without it losing its value over time is asinine. I shouldn't have to be forced to play the market or spend if I don't want to. Just let people save their damn money.
I also recall reading (somewhere) that France basically ended up with two nuclear power plan designs used repeatedly, unlike in the US where nearly every nuclear power plant is unique. That might account for the lower costs shown in the article.
It's not just that fragmentation results in lack of polish. Having many distros means that when I want to figure out how to do something obscure, or encounter an issue, there's less likely to be someone on my distro with the same problem. But more importantly, I often don't get any good results searching "*issue* *distro*", because the issue is at a different layer in the stack. I have to know whether it is a distro issue, desktop environment issue, kernel issue, systemd issue, X11 issue, etc, which is difficult for new users. Compared to Windows and Mac which aren't modular in this way and therefore don't have this problem.

What functionality of a calendar is speed dependent? Genuine ask and not trying to be snarky, speed just hasn’t ever been something I’ve ever had to worry about with a calendar tool so the notion (pun not intended) is merely a foreign to me personally.

Where is the speed gained in from compared to Calendar.app?

I could accept that there are leaders in the nation's past that have been given a diminished role in comparison to Nehru and Gandhi (Ambedkar comes to mind) but I can hardly believe that anyone so instrumental to building the nation's foundation could be so easily dismissed like Nehru. Navigating the country through independence, the writing of the Constitution, the largest mass migration in human history, modernization of industry, and the beginnings of the Cold War while having the longest tenure of any PM in Indian history amount to one of the greatest resumes of any modern leader.
`git push -f` can absolutely do the type of "history changing" that you claim it can't though. CT logs are also quite vulnerable to attacks where the root of the certificate chain gets compromised, for example because they are being threatened by their government. Even blockchains are only protected from history rewriting as long as no 51% attack takes place, and all but the largest blockchains are quite vulnerable to this.
IMO it's perfectly fine to start helping on a bounded part of a bigger project, but then decline to help on further asks/scope-creep.
It is not about brain power but the computing power. The biggest fallacy with crypto is that combined computing power owned by general public is more than few powerful entities. This has never hold true in the history of humanity. The 1% of people owns 80% of the computing resources. So there is no "decetralized" or "distributed" authority. For instance, US or Chises government can put togather more GPUs than the rest of the public combined any day perform 51% attack on any crypto. The reason for this lies in tax arrangement in physical world. No matter what people earn, government is taking away a big chunk from them and thus always can have majority resources than rest of the public combined.

You should update the Wikipedia article that is linked as the OP, since you disagree with its conclusions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Other_host_...

If you scroll down to "Monty Fall," the description of the problem is "The host does not know what lies behind the doors, and opens one at random that happens not to reveal the car" and the solution is "Switching wins the car half of the time." (This is the result demonstrated in my simulation)
> Why then is Tesla specifically being focused on?

Because before Tesla launched the feature, "Autopilot" was known in the general consciousness to mean a specific thing. Autopilot is the thing on planes that lets the pilot do other tasks (like navigational routing).

Other car manufactures are smart enough to not brand their cruise control as "Self Driving" or the like.

If I sold a brand of drain cleaner under the name "Laundry Detergent" that would rightly result in some consumer protection investigations.

Look at the modern internet. "Free" is consumed at rates far more than 4x of "paid equivalents that existed before the free option".
I . .agree. I opened my comment with the line “What’s the recourse, then” for precisely this reason.

I’m calling the rogue elements of the internet, ie ad networks that behave in a scummy manner with zero transparency, integrity and self regulation , as the bad nodes. I don’t advocate for the blocking of IPs , I advocate for legal challenges that provoke a wider response (regulatory, policy, etc). The judicial system staying largely silent instead of issuing rulings in favor of the plaintiff that at least find the Content to be of a stolen and illegal nature while dismissing the petition to block the IPs , gives them some recourse in law. . .right now, the status is ambiguous , so allowed. Which is really pathetic of us as a society.
I worked for a blockchain startup and let me tell you, it was a ride. It was small operation not doing cryptocurrency (it had tried, failed, and pivoted). There was still a financial angle to it and the pitch enamored me enough to join them.

It turned out that the only value proposition they had was that they "used blockchain" but literally only in the sense that at some point a blockchain would have some data on it.

They were true believers too, but simultaneously didn't care that it was fakery. I have lingering PTSD from that gig.

The crazy thing (for me) is that I remain enamored with the special qualities of blockchains and would like to put them to use in a non-financial manner.
>I wonder how many people turn on traditional cruise control and then crash due to neglectful driving. That's what we should be comparing Tesla Autopilot against, we should compare it against the status quo.

This is so disingenuous.

Go on YouTube and search for people "self-driving" in their Teslas, then do the same for people doing anything remotely the same with standard cruise control.

Tesla and its fanatics want it both ways: it's both the most sophisticated self-driving software on the planet, and only regulations are preventing it from being widely used and reducing traffic accidents, but when accidents happen it's just "cruise control". Pick one.

Guesses on the quant firm? Jane St?
Maybe. I've never worked in an organization where engineers were driving the complexity, nor have I worked in an organization where microservices introduced complexity (I've heard people complain in vague terms about microservices, but I don't relate to their experiences). However, I have worked in an organization that transitioned from monoliths to microservices, and the overall complexity was reduced because (I didn't mean for this to turn into a monolith/microservices thread, but oh well):

1. an engineer under management pressure couldn't easily take an expedient dependency on the private internals of another system

2. teams could deploy their changes on their own cadence, so they didn't feel additional pressure to squeeze poorly-conceived things into one less-frequent release (many frequent releases are theoretically possible for monoliths, but much rarer for pretty understandable reasons)

Moreover, reliability improves because of the aforementioned reduced complexity but also because the blast radius for a reliability issue is scoped to the service, and security improves for the same "blast radius" reason (an attacker who compromises a component can only access that component's secrets and can only talk to that component's collaborators).

My suspicion is that microservices work very well when an organization has a strong architecture/SRE capability irrespective of management or product development capabilities, whereas a monolith depends on all capabilities firing on all cylinders.
Address randomization helps but it's not enough. The phone still transmits at a regular cadence so it's pretty easy to figure out which old address has changed into which new address and keep tracking the same device.
We support 20 simultaneous connections per room on the Pro plan. With the organization plan, we’ve been able to increase this to about 50 simultaneous connections per room depending on the use case.

We would technically be able to go beyond that but will likely require bigger servers. Depends on what you’re trying to build.

During my German B1 test I met a person who had only used Duolingo for learning the language. They had successfully passed most of the test... except for the spoken part, which they had already failed once and which Duolingo doesn't really help you with. And based on what I heard, they probably failed it again. So I guess you can learn something with it to a decent level.

On the other hand, I once had trouble repeatedly failing a German lesson so I gave the phone to my German girlfriend. She failed the lesson too, probably because she was answering as a German and not as a Duolingo user.

I think all the hand-wringing over fragmentation is misguided. Diversity is good. We have plenty of polished UX provided by big tech, but it comes with intractable downsides related to centralized control. Free and open source software provides a different tradeoff and value proposition, one that counteracts the natural forces towards market consolidation and centralized power that exist for software in a globally networked world. Yes, that means we have to work harder to motivate people to cooperate, but such is the cost of freedom.

I'm not entirely sure what you're saying but it sounds like your theory is that Texan and Georgian voters were hornswoggled by New York and California carpetbaggers so their votes somehow don't matter for this discussion. The plain fact is that as of 2020 approximately as many Texan voters wanted Biden as Trump, to where a 3% shift would have changed the result. Those voters could have stayed home but they went in and cast a ballot. Talking about secession on that margin is ridiculous.

Also, if you're using New York and California Democrats as a proxy for left-wing voters, Biden is pretty disappointing on that front. A huge part of why Biden was the nominee was specifically so he could appeal to centrist voters. The fact that Texan and Georgian voters voted for someone who was picked partly to appeal to those same people should not be surprising.

Both did largely solve the convenience issue.

Spotify is good enough for most people even if audio quality is mediocre and there is missing music. Most people do not care about obscure music or about audio quality.

Netflix also solved the issue (it used to have most stuff people cared about) and then it got unsolved. Indeed, with all of the competing streaming services with their own exclusives, the situation is worse than ever. This is why movie piracy is on the rise. With all of the exclusives it no longer is convenient. People do not care which corp owns which franchise. They just want to press play and watch. The fact that the industry truly does not understand user convenience and managed to mess up movie and tv streaming after it was solved, is just sad.

How about real estate transactions. What fees are the average buyer and seller having to pay along with how many third party people have worked themselves into the fold to get their piece of the action? Why would you need title insurance when the blockchain holds all the information?

Why would sellers need to pay up to 6% to a realtor and buyers pay thousands in closing costs...because there is a disparity in access to information. Crypto/Blockchains can change that.

Oh...and wire transfers can take up to 7 days before they are finalized. Crypto transfers it's generally considered settled in a few minutes.

It's the difference between natural conversation and performance.

NDT wasn't trying to have a conversation, he was trying to put on a performance. He was using intonation, cadence, and speech patterns rehearsed for putting on a show, whereas podcasters want to have something more like a natural conversation.

This can actually be a problem when people try to study social skills and speaking habits from performers and then deploy those habits into natural conversations. It comes off as inauthentic and awkward.

I used to use OpenShot. I totally forgot how to use it after a few years hiatus and I could not find a way do what I remember I was doing, so I switched to plain ffmpeg. I use it to cut pieces of videos and extract the audio track. I use Audacity to denoise the audio, adjust the volume and silence some sequences. Then ffmpeg again to assemble everything into the final video. That never crashes and it's easier to document than working in a GUI.
I don’t have a reference offhand to hard numbers, but I’ve definitely run webservers which have a significantly higher number of concurrent in-flight requests than number of cores.

Even for a static site, what you’re basically doing is

page = readFile(“foo.txt”)
response.write(page)

That’s no CPU usage at all. ~Zero time spent in process. All the time is spent waiting on the data to be loaded into memory from disk, and then copied from memory out onto the network. If you use concurrency for those two functions, then you can handle ~100s of in-flight requests at the same time.

I think it's typically true? The instances I know of where transactions were undone involved convincing all the node runners to fork their nodes - they were not done "within" the blockchain system. Instead they used social consensus to create a slightly altered blockchain system. How big of a difference this makes to you is up for debate.
