Most progressives end up changing their tune on all their major ideas when they collide with reality. For example, San Francisco last night booted the progressive soft-on-crime DA because of the increasing crime rate. Seattle recently saw increases in crime and had to walk back their tune on getting rid of law enforcement. Progressive ideas simply do not work in reality. Be it on law enforcement, dissolution of borders, dissolution of merit-based systems, equity as pertains to gifted programs...I've not seen a single progressive idea produce any good results when implemented.

I'm hoping the SF DA recall election is a sign that we're going to see the pendulum swing in the other direction as more people realize that the progressive platform is toxic trash.

Entropy is a term of art in computer science/tech as well, which is apparently the target audience of the blog. Looking at the About page shows the blog is about programming, hacking, and entrepreneurship.

This is similar to when a programmer uses the word auto in a car dealership to mean something other than automobile - because it means something different in a different field. Even when that person first explains what he is about to refer to with the word auto, it is still the wrong word to use in that context.

Your link explains this:
"In 1948, Bell Labs scientist Claude Shannon developed similar statistical concepts of measuring microscopic uncertainty and multiplicity to the problem of random losses of information in telecommunication signals. Upon John von Neumann's suggestion, Shannon named this entity of missing information in analogous manner to its use in statistical mechanics as entropy, and gave birth to the field of information theory. This description has been identified as a universal definition of the concept of entropy." [1]

In the interest of equality for employment opportunities there should be a forced paternity leave such that women are not disadvantaged in employment hiring. Given this equality, it should not take the latin prefixes of "mater" and "pater", but "parens" - ie parensity leave. Further, since raising children is a societal obligation, this should fall as a burden on the state, as they will be collecting the taxes from the wealth produced by the well raised children. Therefore, Parensity leave should be a state funded legal requirement, and not an employer obligation.

This appears to be a repackaging of an old metaphor designed to illustrate the Efficient Market Hypothesis: that someone can outperform professional portfolio managers by hanging the Wall Street Journal on the wall, and throwing darts at it. Someone did go to the trouble of training a chimp to do just that, and the chimp entered the Guinness Record Book for outperforming all but 22 managers in 1999 [1].

But while chimps may outperform thousands of managers for one year, they won't outperform a Warren Buffett or a George Soros for decades.

The claim that Buffett's and Soros's performance is due to luck can be easily debunked nowadays after the Covid 19 pandemic. Now lots of people understand p-values. By this I mean lots compared to before, in absolute terms it's still too few people who understand null-hypothesis testing. Oh, and if you read this and want to shoot me down with some Bayesian things, you can leave it for some other time. In any case, just like you can test if the outcomes of vaccination are due to random chance, you can check if the performance of Berkshire Hathaway is due to pure luck. In both cases you'll get a really tiny p-value, so you can say you decidedly rejected the null hypothesis.

In the case with this twit, it's difficult to do a statistical significance test. But consider this: it's undeniable that Warren Buffett's results are not due to randomness, and also Michael Jordan's results, and Tom Brady's results.

Tom Brady has won 7 NFL championship, more than the total wins of all the active NFL quarterbacks in the league combined. But guess what, luck is a huge factor in the NFL, for the simple reason that players get injured a lot. The best team at the start of a season can be decimated by the end of it. Still, somehow he won 7 times in 22 years, in a league with 32 teams. Is this due to throwing darts?

Then why is Musk's success due to throwing darts? Or Zuckerberg's success? Did Zuck throw and miss, then throw again, and again, and again, and hit the bull's eye the tenth time? No, he succeeded right away, and kept demolishing every obstacle that he found in his path.

This dart throwing metaphor is so appealing: "meh, that guy was just lucky, I could've done the same myself, but I just couldn't afford to play the game".

But it's also so toxic.

I am using the following definition from Wikipedia

> Cache invalidation is a process in a computer system whereby entries in a cache are replaced or removed.

It's the smallest unit of function that "cache invalidation" must perform. Some people define cache invalidation as a problem of figuring out "when/who" to invalidate. That's not the definition I am using (and my definition is narrower in that sense). The confusion is not intended, as I believe (as I explained in the post) that even with the narrower definition, cache invalidation is still insanely hard.

It's not disingenuous. You are welcome to speculate.

If it helps, let's essentially break cache invalidation into a few parts 1. knowing when/who to invalidate 2. actually processing the invalidate

My argument is that #1 can be very managable with simpler data models (as we did). #2 can't be avoided; and #2 is very hard. And the post is about how we believe we have a systemic approach for managing #2.

It's very easy to feel like #2 is an easy problem, which probably explains why people think #1 is what Phil Karlton was referring to. The analogy I like to use is Paxos. The protocol fits on a single slide. It's easier to feel like you have Paxos work; but it's very hard to have Paxos actually work.

> Now going back to your example with complicated dependencies. Maybe TTL is a better solution. With many dependencies, any changes from the dependency list might trigger invalidation. At some point, just doing TTL, would be simpler.

#1 is a hard problem, if the data model and data in cache is complex I agree. My comment here is referring to update-heavy workloads. If you have a large dependency, your invalidation workload will tend to be heavy. At some point, you will spend more power on processing invalidation than serving user queries. The post is talking about a narrower problem; and I am not trying to minimize anyone's struggle.

GPT-4chan: The most horrible language model on the internet
The CT Logs were a solution to the problem of miss-issuance being essentially undetectable, and shorter certificate lifetimes were the solution to the frustrating fail-open behavior of the revocation mechanism[s]. The other advantage is that OCSP was a privacy nightmare, as it required broadcasting every site you visited just on the off chance a cert was revoked. Unsurprisingly there's quite an incentive to monetize those queries.

The specific problem in this post is that the log servers are occasionally down, which is obviously suboptimal, but was also a predicted and understood problem, which is why every client is expected to require that any certificate that they validate is signed by multiple (I think >= 3? but that was also years ago) unrelated log services.

Client validation is essentially are these log tokens valid - revocation checking a la OCSP is still essentially useless in practice, and I think some vendors monitor for revocations and construct their own revocation lists for all their CAs that their clients pull. The notable thing point being that their clients aren't pulling per domain, they're getting the full list of all revocations. I assume actual implementations do some kind of partial/delta updates (you could imagine "entire DB" and "last N hours" or something)

There's not exactly a smoking gun but Ricciardi doesn't come out looking great.

With small insular communities like this, I wonder how often people end up making counterfeits they never intend to sell.

Before the recent value explosion in the market there wouldn't be much value in it - but people like their hobbies and like to boast and it seems very normal.

There are lots of legitimate reasons to come out of this kind of experience feeling like you don't want to have anything to do with the scene - but also it could be that what was intended as a private forgery has gotten out of control.

> When that happens, though, Colombia will face a challenge from Spain and an indigenous group in Bolivia to determine who keeps the bounty.

They should de divide the gold between all the natives (indigenous) of the region. I don't think the gold should go to Colombia simply because that country did exist back then, the Spanish were stealing from natives.

At the very least they should give all the gold to some branch of government concerned with indigenous rights.

Bitcoin is the best reserve currency. And gold. Plus now there's goldbacks, which sound gimmicky but are a great deal they only cost 10% more than the price of the raw gold, and they worked their asses off making them. You can see the gold translucently! Bitcoin, goldbacks, bullion...uh...precious metals. China does not like the dollar. China wants to dump all their dollars all at once, in the near future.

Even though they've been using the dollar for hundreds of years, it was originally the Spanish peso (dollars are Spanish silver pesos, you could get off a Spanish galleon and spend your coins with "$" designs on the back without going to a money-changer in America, that was the money), and get this--for all their sins, Spaniards never debased their currency during their empire. I think they're unique in that regard. It was generally made of the same grade of silver (work with me here) and it was kept up for centuries. Yeah they had a mine that was half of world production and yeah they pillaged and violed and all, all that shit the Inquisition everything, but a peso is a peso, the dollar was a dollar, and the whole world used that as its currency.

Or you know what? Actually printed dollars, paper is the new gold. Meant they had to use up real ink, and they hotted up the printer, actual cotton, wow, what millennium is it again? Printed dollars, the lower the denomination the better, that's how you store value.

These are good questions. I might not have satisfying answers to all of them but I will try.

> what about many-to-many where one fetch returns inconsistent results
Are you referring to the case when cache stores a complicated result of a function that fetches data from many sources, and how to figure out when to invalidate? If so, I am sorry but that's not the cache invalidation I was referring to. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31676102)

> What about data queried while there's a transaction rollback.. when is it updated in the cache

This might be easier to answer. I assume if you run the database with isolation level higher than read-committed, you will be fine.

I once got cornered by a pack of dogs in Hyderabad in an early morning attempted walk to a coffee shop (what can I say, first time in Hyderabad, I didn't really grok that walking any significant distance is an adventure).

But during the heat of the day? They did seem relaxed. Though I never tried to pet one or anything like that. Dogs getting agitated around humans in Hyderabad would probably be pretty exhausting.
