I could be badly misinformed, but I have the sense that the Chinese social credit score system might be relatively open in its criteria, and prosocial, compared to whatever emerges in some other places.

In general, with a more open system, you might also have more hope to redeem yourself, or at least evaluate effective options.

Particularly with the last anecdote, it seems that the evergreen problem with open-source licenses is not the choice of license or the particulars of the terms, but enforcing the terms at all.

Bad actors have free reign to threaten and intimidate fair use development. While FOSS developers are having to defend themselves from these spurious claims, they have little recourse to pursue real infringement of their work.

How can pushing in the wrong order mess up all code? The worst thing I can imagine is pushing the superproject with a subproject update, but not pushing the subproject. That would end up with an unbuildable commit in the superproject, as you can never check out its associated commit from the subproject, but I don't see how that's close to "messing up all code".

Back in the late 90's I worked on a system that shipped on 4 different chip architectures, 4 different (unix-based) operating systems, dealt with different endianness and was more reliable and easier to understand. And it was more responsive to users with 1990's hardware than stuff is today. :shrug:
It's a good point. I'm not sure how it would be tracked. I just can't think of anyone I know that even might browse with JS off. It's on as a default setting and I think it is fair to say that most of the world don't know what JS is.

I like to think that my library's management knows how to do cost benefit analyses. I can assure you that my library didn't subscribe to this because of unreasonable demands from patrons, but because they felt it was a worthy option for their patrons.

Put another way, if my library dropped Kanopy, almost no one would notice. So it's hard to claim Kanopy is being "predatory" as another commenter mentioned.
Suing contractors for the bureaucratic nightmare you create means that every future bid will now have a buffer to cover the expense of that.

My impression of Burja is that he’s better at the writing - there are always interesting details - than average but not generally a superior analyst.

For example: https://brief.bismarckanalysis.com/p/modern-russia-can-fight... has interesting and useful details but I think has been demonstrably and obviously short of similar analysis from experts in the field who are less certain but more reliable vis-a-vis outcomes.

Can confirm. HuggingFace Accelerate's big model feature[1] has some limits, but it does work. I used it to run a 40GB model on a system with just 20GB of free RAM and a 10GB GPU.

All I had to do was prepare the weights in the format Accelerate understands, then load the model with Accelerate. After that, all the rest of the model code worked without any changes.

But it is incredibly slow. A 20 billion parameter model took about a half hour to respond to a prompt and generate 100 tokens. A 175 billion parameter model like Facebook's would probably take hours.

If you try to express a complex idea directly, in practice, your audience often misses the point or misunderstands it. The complex delivery has in it redundancy. It approaches the idea from different angles. It connects the idea to other ideas.

Still far less attack surface area than a browser engine.

Browsers can download and execute arbitrary code in the form of JavaScript or WASM. Your options for poking at the sandbox are far more plentiful when it is parsing and executing turing-complete instructions rather than a markup languages or other static data.

Marathon running is typically at a steady pace with only minor variations in the energy output needed. Except for time trials, cycling power is a lot more variable. A cyclist in a road race might be cruising along in the peloton for most of the race but then have to sprint near maximum power to attack or chase several times at unpredictable intervals. So training plans focused on one sport or the other end up looking significantly different in terms of target heart rate zones or perceived exertion, even when training for races of similar duration.

I know, but it's also very far from zero and people might have most of their lights on for quite a few hours.

~200W for 4-6 hours every day for almost every household in a country is a huge number, and that's with the assumption that they're all LED.

Its also not orders of magnitude form AC usage: If small 800W AC runs at 50% duty cycle for a similar number of hours, the light is approx half the AC consumption.

Turning off light you don't need will absolutely make a difference.

> future shape of your data

Contrary to what people seem to assume, you actually can change the schema of a database and migrate the existing data to the new schema. There's a learning curve, but it's doable.

If you go schema-less, you run into another problem: not knowing the past shape of your data. When you try to load old records (from previous years), you may find that they don't look like the ones you wrote recently. And, if your code was changed, it may fail to handle them.

This makes it hard to safely change code that handles stored data. You can avoid changing that code, you can accept breakage, or you can do a deep-dive research project before making a change.

If you have a schema, you have a contract about what the data looks like, and you can have guarantees that it follows that contract.

I think this is and will continue to be a common use case. I'm very thankful for these applications that the data was still stuck in a crusty old relational database for me to work on top of as I built a new application.

It's going to be interesting when this same problem occurs years from now when people are trying to reverse schemas from NoSQL databases or if they become difficult to extract.

The only sticking point is when business logic is put into stored procedures. On one hand if you're building an app on top of it, there's a temptation to extract and optimize that logic in your new back-end. On the other hand, it is kind of nice to even have it at all should the legacy app go poof.

In Washington State, teacher salaries were raised substantially, with no change in educational results.

The thing is, just giving everyone raises doesn't work. It needs to be based on merit.

I've proposed a system where teachers get a base salary, plus a substantial increment for every student in their class that meets grade level expectations at the end of the school year.

That whole sentence is even more interesting: "the FTC alleges that CafePress failed to implement reasonable security measures to protect sensitive information stored on its network, including plain text Social Security numbers, inadequately encrypted passwords, and answers to password reset questions." Why would CafePress have anyone's SSN? I suppose potentially a merchant selling on it might need to have provided banking details, but that still doesn't seem like it should include a SSN?
>Because you’d have to be a real dumbass to actually put your life savings in crypto.

Not all the scams are that obvious. Once a company has a lot of money, it is assumed they have some stability. Celebrity endorsements don't hurt either. There were even stadiums named for the stuff. And Stablegains said in large print that the investments were diversified while the small print said they were putting everything into Luna and would diversify later.
Hyperstreams – Nesting in Lucid
I am doubting the argument from the https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31886280 which is a variant of the argument repeated in every thread about housing on HN. Namely: people do want dense housing because dense housing in the areas like Manhattan is very expensive. "Prices are too high" is the "proof" part of this argument.

My doubt is based on two facts: rich people don't go for the dense living even in these areas and nobody is building residential high raises in the cheap areas, which would have been a huge missed opportunity if there had been a genuine demand for the dense living conditions.

The causality here seems unobvious. Is aging a necessity because we inherently lack the ability to change? Or do we become inflexible because we age?

Measures of willingness to change your mind and ability to learn new concepts is correlated with age. It seems just as reasonable to argue that if we could solve aging, we'd solve stagnation.
Potentially! We could make this happen, it probably wouldn't even be that much work. It's more of a question of whether enough people/companies would be interested in self-hosting, which is something we'll keep an eye out for

Do you know why Safari and Chrome exist?

Safari was created so Apple wouldn’t be totally dependent on MS for a web browser. They’ve been in that situation many times before (and since). Apple is allergic to depending on someone else for something really important.

Why does Chrome exist? Same reason. Google didn’t want to depend on being at the whims of Microsoft. They wanted to ensure they would have a browser that would do what they needed.

Both existed to open the internet more from what was going on at the time.

Now people want to kill one to let the other become triumphant.

That’s what makes no sense to me.

"No, and this was the big surprise for me. The new building actually uses less energy than their old one did. Even though the new one has air conditioning, a heat pump." [...] "Also, they had to change their behavior. For example, they got rid of their server room where all their big computers were. They moved those servers to the cloud, because those computers put out a lot of heat, and when you put out heat you've got to cool it."

They reduced their energy consumption by outsourcing the energy-hungry bits of their business.
I am not going to wade into the crime chatter all over this thread, people have their own stories and barometers on that stuff.

But I cannot let Bean anecdotes slide without an alternate take. We take our kids (two under 10) down to the Bean/Millennium Park area 4-5 times a summer, without fear. It's a fantastic place for families. Super diverse, good exercise, breeze off the lake. The Bean + the fountains + Maggie Daley Park can be an awesome Saturday/Sunday afternoon.
Some aspects of git submodules are bad, especially for beginners. When I used them the first time had the strange experience that checking out or pulling left the submodule out of sync and I had to go to the directory and check out the right reference. Now I've learned to throw --recurse-submodules after "git checkout", "git pull", and "git clone" and you can mostly forget submodules then unless you start to interact with it explicitly.
Yeah - recurse-submodules discards local changes without warning.

Fake news and AI generated news are kinda all over the place for a good amount of time. It's faster and cheaper to have AI write news from a press release.

My prediction is that in the next 10y we will really struggle to determine between fake-people and real-human. There will be an explosion of fake-identities posting more and more human-like.

But I'm not Nostradamus so I could be very very off here.
> Once you have kids, you’re not willing to take them to the Bean on a weekend and end up in the middle of a shooting.

Despicable and shameful FUD. You'd have to win (lose) the statistical lottery for this trope to become true. Good riddance tbh, Chicago needs more people believing in the city than those who spew this tired and fear-machine driven narrative. Hope wherever you ended up is as cultured, cosmopolitan and rich in life as Chicago but I highly doubt it.

Yeah I don't see why this math is so hard.

If you force Apple to open up iOS then Chrome just takes it over and Safari will take such a hit that Apple will probably have to kill it. Then Google will own 99% of the portal to the web.

I think I'm arguing with a bunch of Libertarians though who think that an unregulated market is some kind of magic sauce that will conjure up a Chrome competitor out of thin air, and not a recipe for monopolization.
People get punished for making mistakes in every other type of job and people still take them, so why should judges get a free pass?
Not to make you feel old or anything, but this sounds a lot like what happened with my dad. I'm 6 years into my career and he's mostly through his. His highest-income years were doing software development in the law department of one of the big oil companies. It basically broke him to learn what they were doing. Now he's trying to find the motivation to do contract work in his 50's because he doesn't want to deal with corporations ever again...
DevOps has pivoted I think from the more original goal of having Devs do a lot of Ops things. This isn't really a viable solution as almost every compliance system mandates the people writing code and the people deploying/running systems are different.

What we have now is Ops that use things like source control. Write scripts that are more modular, reusable and composable. A new application can have cloud resources created and allocated in a day rather than a month of tickets to several other teams. This is also granting visibility to things that Ops may have been doing, but it was scripts on a PC or build server that only Ops had access to.

After more than 100k DSLR/mirrorless images in recent years, I usually one of my film cameras because the aesthetic experience is better for me.

It's a feedback loop where film caused me to be more selective, being more selective means taking few pictures, including digital pictures, and taking fewer pictures reduces the economic efficiency gap between film and digital.

Which wouldn't make as much of a difference if the aesthetic experience of film cameras weren't so different from a DSLR/mirrorless camera...again for me.

And if the differences in my aesthetic experience among film cameras could not vary so widely. I recently traveled with six film cameras each of which physically makes a different type of picture because each produces a different aspect ratio...3:1, 9:4, 3:2,.4:3, 1:1 3:4 [1]

Just for clarity, one of my favorite digital cameras is the Sony NEX C3 which is a tiny 16mp APSC camera...literally about the size of a point and shoot. Put a pancake lens on it like the 16-50 PZ or 16mm f2.8 and you can put a lot of camera in a small pocket when you walk the dog.

However, I have three film cameras that fit in a small pocket and produce great negatives each of which was less than $100, doesn't require batteries and brings me joy to shoot...the NEX C3 really doesn't, it is only a better aesthetic experience compared to other digital cameras.

---

All this with the caveat that if I was shooting weddings for, I'd make radically different choices. Digital cameras are great tools for commercial work. And they are great ways to chase the joy of making pictures.

Where I wound up is that part of the normal digital workflow is sitting at the computer right after making the pictures wasn't something I enjoyed. For me, it's nice to just put the exposed film in a drawer until a development day. Nice not to be in a hurry. YMMV.

Good luck.
