I have stolen access to production systems though Jenkins. Cause the scrambled pw is always sent to the Jenkins client. And then by default anybody could decode it from the console… They fixed it in 2.0 I believe.

The problem with dependencies is that different plugins need different versions but there is no solution to that. Even more. You update Jenkins. Plugins break. Data gets corrupted. You try to align the plugins to some dependent version. It fails, cause most of the ecosystem is a hobby-project that never gets updated.

Jenkins has absolutely nothing to do on the public Internet as most of these tools.

There are so many CI/CD services. Most are very cheap. You really need to love yak shaving to pick Jenkins over something from the shelf. No major cloud offers Jenkins Saas. Wonder why…
I strongly preferred Quattro Pro to Excel. By the late 90s, it ceased to exist in university computer labs, because every new computer came bundled with Office. I had only a mild preference for WordPerfect, but the QP to Excel migration was painful.
Many reasons. A few that come to mind:

-Desire to travel (or accomplish whatever their retirement plans are) before they are too old.
-Just like we don't really know how to parent, they don't know how to parent.
-Parenting has become polarized with (mis-)information overload manifesting in disagreement between parents and grandparents.
-...
There are plenty of "us" still working towards addressing the real problem too, there is hope here.
Thank you for a rather enlightening perspective. That explains a lot of big tech behaviors around the x86/ARM frontier that I had failed to grasp.

I find it somewhat ironic that in wanting for a few CEO's to "Embrace… Extinguish" Linux in favor of Windows, Microsoft eventually created a world where Windows is a sink on their resources they yet can't axe because though not anymore a money-maker in its own right, Windows remains the basis for pretty much all their money-makers. In becoming a "software-first" company, they pretty much followed if not provoked the very paradigm that makes Windows a non-monetizable entity next to as-good-as-embedded MacOS and ever-free Linux.

Linux which, incidentally, is also THE basis for money-makers worldwide and the OSS model means nobody using it today had to fork even 1% of the real cumulative cost of that kernel + ecosystem since the 1990's. How's that for a win, Linux 1:0 Microsoft — that the winner did not even seek, busy doing its own thing, while the other pretty much dug its own commercial grave out of 'relevance debt' (not sure how to word what Windows has become)…

TL;DR: it's like this big item taking all your inventory yet that you can't ditch ever because it's required to do all your quests. In games, you wish devs forgot about that crap and just made the inventory that much smaller. In real life, Microsoft can't kill Windows without closing business overnight. sad_pikachu_face.jpg

[Note that IMHO, MS is incredibly strong nowadays, so they'll find a way, and this is a fantastic learning experience for the industry.]
Battersea is the location for the start of one of my favorite books from childhood, The Borribles[0]. It has lived in my imagination all these years. Now if I ever get over there I guess I'll have something to go see. From what I heard in the old days, it was pretty rough.

> However, the primary problem I see with this approach is that we are simply not politically ready as a species to attempt a global-scale engineering project like that.

What's the point of bringing this up? Are you saying that their research is futile and that they shouldn't bother? That we should be funding something else?

There are separate groups of people working on the social aspects. Let MIT and other research institutions deal with coming up with solutions, and let politicians and activists deal with getting the world ready.

From everything I've seen, it'll take a global-scale engineering project of some sort to solve this problem. Might as well have the group of solutions ready for when/if the world is ready.

Here's a direct translation of a C++ implementation into Haskell with no optimization: https://koerbitz.me/posts/Efficient-Quicksort-in-Haskell.htm...

Personally I think the Haskell code is a bit nicer. Mutation is inherently unsafe and you need to be more careful when performing such computations. Haskell code makes this painful to read by planting red-flag words like, "unsafe" around.

In C++ mutation is the norm and so it's much easier skip past such code. No indication that these operations are unsafe. The experienced reader will scrutinize this carefully or gloss over it at their own peril. The code is terse on the subject as the syntax maximizes efficiency for this case.

Here's another: https://stackoverflow.com/a/5269180

If you absolutely need in-place mutation, it's available. It's just not the default.

Little 'a' agile was coopted by management consultants and became big 'A' Agile, which was agile-ish but revamped with management in mind.

I don't think agile has been in vogue so much as Agile. And lots of people hate Agile.

Common Agile traits (problems of hierarchy):

- plagued by non-falsifiable victim-blaming claims that if it's not working, you're doing it wrong

- standups as micromanagement

- estimates of unknowns as accountable contracts of work

- management "involvement" but no contribution

- often a complete lack of long-term vision and planning

- heightened demand for documentation as the blame games ensue
USA emissions laws are always hamfistedly stupid.

Just look at air injection pumps on older engines from the 80's/90's. The emissions laws were met by simply diluting the exhaust stream with air pumped into the exhaust manifold. The EPA knew this but as long as the check box was checked the bureaucracy was appeased.

EPA Diesel emissions are also handled in an equally idiotic way: When a new EPA diesel mandate went into effect, it is a strict cut off for sales of ALL non compliant engines lest manufactures pay fines (ask CAT). When EPA 2006 was going into effect mandating the particulate filter, 2007 truck sales took a hard dive. No one wanted to buy new and therefor "untested" engine technology to power their business. Europe on the other hand was smart: when a new emission tier goes into effect, the previous tier is still available, but at a higher cost! This allows companies to continue to buy trusted technology at the cost of paying a higher yearly registration fee which is a sort of pollution penalty. The new tier engines have standard registration cost so it provides a monetary incentive to encourage adoption. Compare this to the "hold a gun to everyone head" policy of the stupid EPA.
Hi!! Big congratulations on your first child! The purpose of this post is not to plug my own platform. But the platform I built is specifically designed for this purpose, to be a basic guide of entry points and recommended resource to support families homeschooling for the first time. I'd LOVE To hear feedback from you and others to see if it fills this need for you or what we could work on.

Our platform itself offers ways to find curriculum, connect with teachers, friends and coaches, so feel free to explore
https://www.modulo.app/

Here's what I generally recommend.

1) Find a Core Curriculum (lots of great ones out there specifically designed for parents)
2) Teach yourself, find a teacher or teachers
3) Connect with homeschooling groups in your area

On Modulo, we offer curriculum planning, trained teachers, community and support, which pretty much covers the four bases.

But you can DEFINITELY set this up on your own and do extremely well.

Here's a guide I wrote to getting started/an intro
https://www.modulo.app/all-resources/modularlearning

And definitely reach out to me with any questions. I'm constantly trying to find better ways to make this feel easy and doable for parents, as I truly believe it can be.

One thing to keep in mind is that school at home does not need to be 9-3. Since most of it is mastery-based, kids can go through six grades of math easily in six months through an hour of 1-1 instruction every day.

Happy to talk more. Feel free to reach out to me anytime with questions or if you just want to chat manisha[at]modulo[dot]app
Are you suggesting that the general atmospheric co2 will be so high air will be unbreathable?
At this point it isn’t about giving up fossil fuels anymore and more about acting to revert the damage already done. We appear to already be to late to prevent the 1.5degree global warming and even 2.5 which could cause a runaway effect. The only viable option is to let less energy hit the earth.
> I have no problem with fining the idiots who remove particulate filters and sensors to be able to 'roll coal' at urban stoplights. That's senseless. But expensive emissions control systems are a problem.

yeah, what percent of the guy’s business went to people who wanted to roll coal anyway? Here folks just assume it was for the worst case, but they seem ignorant of the concerns you pose. I modified my diesel pickup because restoring the OEM emissions package was about $12k, more than 50% of the resale value. The truck still had 6000 hours of engine life left. My fix was about $800 and it not only passed emissions, it passed the dyno check too. It would have been cheaper if I welded the parts in myself, but I stuck with doing fuel map optimization.

The value you can produce from these vehicles in a rural setting is fantastic and the designed-in longevity means environmental impact from manufacturing is amortized over very long time, unlike commuter cars which nowadays seem purposely designed to last only as long as the loan.
We can define a year however we want, but then planet Earth will answer "Ok, then my new orbit is 0.95434 years".

I hear ya!

Today, I mostly do it for fun on my old Apple machine. It is enjoyable to see what can be done. 1Mhz is actually quite a lot when one looks at the resolution and overall task to complete. And where to put it?

Things like having the game run at 30Hz or 15Hz so more can be computed in game, in real time. Then, when it comes to drawing everything, often a simple screen clear, or page flip then draw does not make sense. Two screens takes too much RAM, etc...

Single buffer, draw fast, only draw deltas, using XOR, all add up!

Getting paid?

I have done some assembly for money on Propeller chips, PIC, AVR, and the like. There are times in embedded land where doing these fun things pays off and makes sense.

For what it is worth, a little fun can be had for income, but not much.
Yeah I’ve seen all of the options for the western span, I think it’s going to require a lot of pressure on Sacramento to get any progress on this.
At a basic level, this is how modern tools like CheatEngine work today. Find all the memory addresses containing your current health level. Do something to manipulate that value, find all the addresses that reflect the new value, rinse and repeat until you know where your health is stored, then write whatever you want to that address.

It can do more than that of course, but it's cool to see that the gameshark I had as a little kid worked in a similar fashion.

The article suggests that the bubbles are reversible if something does go wrong, and one of the safer options out there for reducing the amount of energy that is being captured by the atmosphere. It seems pretty hopeful to me, which is what we need right now. The climate trauma is intense these days. This is hope.
> Contrary to what we would like to believe, there is no such thing as a structureless group. Any group of people of whatever nature that comes together for any length of time for any purpose will inevitably structure itself in some fashion. The structure may be flexible; it may vary over time; it may evenly or unevenly distribute tasks, power and resources over the members of the group. But it will be formed regardless of the abilities, personalities, or intentions of the people involved. The very fact that we are individuals, with different talents, predispositions, and backgrounds makes this inevitable. Only if we refused to relate or interact on any basis whatsoever could we approximate structurelessness -- and that is not the nature of a human group.

>The separation of church and state, known as the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, is certainly part of the Constitution.

Not true. Please read Jefferson's letter where he coined the phrase.

Regardless, allowing a government employee to pray on government property is not establishing a state religion. None of the founders would have believed otherwise.

>The state cannot interfere with religious institutions, and religious institutions cannot interfere with the state (making a break with European tradition where churches were often an arm of the state, and religious institutions often controlled government), thereby making it a two way separation.

Depends on what you mean by that? People who are religious can push their religious views. Churches can push for certain policies (though they could be risking their tax exemption depending on the situation).

This is fully allowed. Like I said the separation goes one way according to the guy who made the phrase.
Meta's entrentched. While I agree with sibling poster about the different levels of information gathered, there's also a difference between what can be gotten away with politically.

It doesn't really matter if it's in your house or not; the problem is global warming that's caused by the greenhouse effect that's caused by the CO2 in the upper atmostphere. I like the cut of your gib though.
In scrum "backlog" is "look at it once a month and decide what you will work on". In kanban, "backlog" is "the list of potential next actions".

In none of them it's a "never" bucket, mostly because it's the only bucket you have.

Anyway, both of those explicitly don't have the possibility of stopping whatever you are doing right now. The agile methodologies (always remember that Agile says you shouldn't put too much stake in methodologies) have plenty of flaws, but this isn't one of them.
Honestly, I would be less upset at a Kim Kardashian appointment than most. She's a billionaire, so I'd have a hard time supporting it, but she's going to be as qualified as Amy Coney Barrett in just a few more years.
Marked cards and other such systems have been common for decades, if not centuries; this is a variation on it.

Many tricks are more than slight-of-hand, they often are "technical" and involve special decks that are modified in certain ways; you can even buy equipment to reseal decks and rewrap them in plastic so they appear brand-new.
Your point about equating the neocortex to the whole body led me to write this out:

I don't think I have any basis for this besides a gut feeling and some daydreams, but I think each of the major methodologies like reinforcement learning, transformers, graph nns etc need to be combined into some larger type of ensemble and worked together into a cohesive system with feedback loops for online and offline learning for a shot at AGI.

I've been doing ML projects for like 6 years, mostly in NLP but have dipped into reinforcement learning because it interests me and my gut feeling has been much that there are a lot of complimentary learning systems that can handle different problems really well and cover for limitations in others and I'd like to see what happens if we smash them together towards the goal of generally beating baselines for as many benchmarks as possible.
By definition they aren't refined. You would have to remove the fiber to make those sugars refined as a first step. Fruit isn't pure simple sugars and it certainly doesn't act that way in the gut when buffered with fiber.

I recommend parents shift their framing to tantrums = self-regulation process.

What helps: Validation, empathy, meeting the unmet core need behind the distress, changing the environment to address the root cause for the distress.

What does not help: adding more stress by threatening the child or pressuring them to control their emotional outburst.

The outburst is the steam coming out of the safety valve.
It's it pretty common that learning the secret of any trick has a chance to destroy the appreciation of the execution?
I used to claim the same thing about Roe v. Wade. I remembered even in 2016 I thought, as bad as things looked, it was impossible for Roe v Wade to seriously be under threat.

I typically think I'm a fairly cynical, pessimistic person, but the last 5 years or so has taught me that I'm not nearly cynical and pessimistic enough.

When you look at the history of fascists take overs, it's usually done clumsily by a bunch of goons and thugs. It doesn't take brilliant political strategy to undermine democracy, and democracy is far more fragile than most of us are willing to believe.

You maximize the capacity of a structure by carefully balancing its dimensions, not by privileging a dimension ("flatness").

And yes, profit-oriented organizations do want to maximize their capacity. That means growing their market share.
Then you should specify. You made a blanket statement about performance, while using the least commonly considered type. If you just say 'performance', most people will assume you mean throughput.

Years ago I did a weekend hackathon. My team came in second. The first team was 13 people - 8 or 9 were 'devs' of some stripe. Our team was 3 people - me as the only developer.

My 'hack demo' was far more 'advanced' with respect to functioning stuff than the winning team, who faked a bit of their presentation. They had a lot of stuff, and a good idea, but... in 2 days, there's not much time to make decisions. Showed a demo after a day to a few others - someone from the eventual winning team kinda smirked and poked a bit of fun, making some comment about how we weren't all that far ahead of his team. I replied back that I was the only developer, and there were only 3 of us, and .. got a small jaw drop from him.

We simply didn't have the overhead of the other teams. We had someone with an idea, discussed in a small team, and me implementing, and I got to say 'no' to a whole lot of things that, in a larger team, we'd have tried to split up and hack on in parallel.

I'm not at all saying the questioning isn't valid - we don't have enough context to know definitively what conclusions to draw. BUT... a small group of people (or individual) with the right tools, aptitude, motivation and time can accomplish a whole lot more than many people assume.

It was a 2007 Honda Civic, the 3rd clutch pressure switch measures fluid pressure.
P0847 was the code. This means the sensor was sending a voltage value below the acceptable range.

The car shifted fine, the fluid was at the proper level, and there were no noticeable driving issues. This would also not continuously read a low voltage reading while changing gears. This led me to believe it's the sensor, which is very inexpensive and easy to fix. The car is working perfectly now.
Fantasizing that we can eliminate and reverse fossil fuel emissions without dramatically affecting global standard of living (acutely in less developed societies) is also a non-solution. We are going to have to deal with slowing but non-zero emissions for a long time, which essentially implies we will need to "deal with the symptom" as a primary remediation action.
