Hey! One of the maintainers of Feast here, mainly to make some friendly corrections on Feast’s functionality (e.g. Feast does in fact manage transformations) :)

Feast currently supports a few kinds of transformations: on demand transformations and streaming transformations. We’re adding batch transformations soon though! (and have an RFC out already).

I like to think that Feast’s goal is to be more of a pluggable framework for platform teams to be able to build towards a platform like Tecton’s (which fully orchestrates both batch and streaming transformations while abstracting complexity away from data scientists). We’re being mindful of trying to keep things as simple as possible though because our users have told us repeatedly they don’t want to forced to manage a complex system.

With moving features from the offline to online store (we call this materialization), users today can (and often quite successfully) use Feast’s CLI or SDK to trigger in memory materialization to the online store. We do have ongoing work to enable out of process materialization (e.g. using Ray, Spark, Bytewax, etc) that should be ready soon. Being able to manually trigger materialization via Airflow though has proven to be very useful for users in integrating with their existing workflows (such as triggering this when they detect changes to their raw data sources).

Simba’s correct though in calling out that a lot of the orchestration in Feast is left to the user. It hasn’t fully emerged as a key painpoint users want addressed, but if that changes… well we’re working to make our community happy :)

Cheers,
Danny
I don't want to blame “sharp” for # on Microsoft. Back in the 1970s, it was the standard pronunciation around the University of BC. And in those days, many terminals and other output devices were somewhat low-fidelity, so the difference between the octothorp and the sharp would not have been visible.

I think when people see a difference in modern life versus traditional, and that difference was unexpected and unintended, that in itself is cause for concern. I don't need to believe claims about how important the gut biome is to the brain etc. But I would be surprised if the there weren't some consequence of the difference, and it seems like wishful thinking to suppose, as you do, that the consequences are benign.
(Disclaimer - I work in this space, but these words are my own).

My understanding is DIDs are a unique identifier. There's a few methods that can be used regarding the construction of the identifier. It could be a unique key (did:key- https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-key/). It could be using web infrastructure (did:web - https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-method-web/). It could be using blockchain infrastructure (did:ion).

Whatever it is, it becomes an identifier used to receive credentials and send messages to. For example, your digital wallet can have a DID which can be used to store credentials. Your digital wallet can have many DIDs which can be useful to avoid correlation of identities.

The credentials (and the identities they represent) themselves are normally bundled into things like Verifiable Credentials (https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model/) which have to be issued to something - like a DID.
It's actually interesting to look at reviews of disco music on RateYourMusic going past the last decade. You might notice a pattern of the older reviews criticizing it as vapid and cheesy, while the newer reviews praise it as danceable and fun.

I think we're finally brushing off the excessive dismissal of the form, probably in no small part to the rock-worshipping generations being drowned out by the newer generations that have no such allegiances.

You're not wrong, but if literally no one is willing to maintain X11 then your choices are (A) let them build Wayland or (B) just stay on bitrotted Xorg forever. For better or worse, users aren't paying even a small fraction of the development cost of the Linux desktop so the result is a volunteer hacker do-ocracy.

Part of the problem in the conversation, as I state in the sentence after the one you quote, is severe oversimplifications in how people - including Red Hat seemingly - talk about this.

1. Yes, they say as much in the opinion. (Take it for what it's worth). I think conservatives have not factored this into their plan.
2. I think at some point people will punish parties for that. Right now both parties could take absolutionist positions on abortion (late term versus outlawing for all reasons) because they didn't have the power to do anything because the USSC ruled on the issue. That made it a red meat promise to their supporters, without them ever having to really do anything about it..

now they do.

Perhaps this explanation will help. When I hear the word 'Sahara' I think of a physical place, in northern Africa. When I hear the word 'desert' I think of an ecological system, characterized primarily by low rainfall and sandy soils. When I think of the physical place in northern Africa that is denoted (in my language) by the word 'Sahara', I think of it as being an exemplar of the ecological system denoted by the word 'desert'.

Near me, there's the Sonoran desert and the Great Basin desert. If I lived in eastern Asia I might think of the Gobi desert. There's many deserts. So while I take your point that 'Sahara', in a non-English language, denotes what I call in English 'desert', I would say that the phrase 'Sahara desert' could be interpreted to signify "the place on this planet, that could be characterized as having a desert ecosystem, that is described by the people who live nearby as 'Sahara'". For the people who do not know that 'Sahara' is used by some other people to denote what they think of when they say the word 'desert', the word 'desert' is not extraneous. But for you, who does, it is.

It falls into a general bucket of vaguely gaslighting behavior wherein the person talking about how a particular use case is important, is met with the claim that it isn’t because of some reason (either it’s not a good use case, software design shouldn’t allow it, or it’s “already possible” in some convoluted way). This isn’t a unique situation, this kind of response happens over and over in the Linux community.

People should get paid to drive their car to work. It's dangerous, has high liability for them in case of injury or litigation, and in any case they should be compensated for even driving at all.

That's because people like me can only ride bicycles because being such terrible drivers. Unless taking an amount of stimulants niggardly shrinks will never prescribe for the specific task of driving, driving would put many other people at risk and lead to an accident a day, whereas on a bike the maximum death toll is myself. And I suck up the accident with my adrenaline, my body, and the bike frame. Injury without guilt.

You still need a great deal of processing for the signal and image stabilization/readings from the sensors. This test version gets away with the M0 for that (well, as much as one can say that looking at the lens) because it only has ~61k of on/off pixels to make a HUD, which also doesn't need to be refreshed often just restabilized locally. Typical AR headsets get away with not having to deal with stabilizing eye movements, more place to stuff processing anyways, and no concern on being able to receive massive bandwidth video streams for more lively content.
Good advice and something I wish I would have been told earlier.

I went through a YC Startup School session a while back and there was a session about how to get your first customers - I can’t remember who it was (maybe Seibel?), but he (paraphrasing) answered it with something like “why are you building something if you haven’t talked to your customers”. It’s really stuck with me along with the “build something people want” thing.

Does screen share work in firefox or chromium if you disable Xwayland and enable wayland rendering for those apps?
I'd venture to guess the self driving stuff is a lot buggier and a lot less mature than one might think, I'd also venture to guess it's poorly tested. I remember a couple years ago watching a Cruise driver force the car to make an illegal left turn off of Mission a few years back. That was around the time that I noticed they kept struggling to deal with right turns off of Folsom as well.

My guess is that their "fail safe" is to just stop and wait for a human to move the car. I doubt they are capable of safely passing a stopped car so when one goes tits up they all get stopped. The hubris of Cruise to test these things without drivers in a busy city is pretty rich.
The sharing VM has no access to any GPU. The GPU is wholly owned by the dom0 process that copies pixels to screen memory from pages mapped to VMs.
> For example if you took a photo of the Tiffany blue and some jewellery and then shared it on Facebook it's likely Tiffany could succeed in a takedown request.

If the mark on the jewelry is genuine (i.e., if you are reselling genuine Tiffany jewelry), then Tiffany should not succeed in a takedown request because of the trademark exhaustion doctrine (an analogue of first-sale doctrine for copyright). On the other hand, appropriating the Tiffany marks to sell non-Tiffany jewelry would probably be infringing.

(Edit: It's even more complicated. Even if you weren't selling jewelry, you could still be passing off your use as if it were authorized by Tiffany (e.g., in an advertisement for something else). If, however, you were parodying Tiffany in your photo, then your use of the marks could be trademark fair use. So there are many ways a photo of jewelry accompanied by the Tiffany marks could go.)

As I commented when that article was posted to HN last time[1], it's important to recognize that there is an important distinction between accepting an argument and contemplating it as a hypothetical.

As long as one is able to maintain this distinction -- something most mature individuals should be perfectly capable of -- I think Andrew Gelman's criticism falls short.

How so?

I think it's a very good idea to not allow product marketing to (ab)use terms to confuse people. If people want to eat meat that's their business. This is like that old trend of putting a "milk" label on almond drink/juice. It's just a straight up incorrect.
I've tried a lot of vegan alternative foods because I like trying new things (unfortunately for vegans, I also love meat) and I've never had a vegan cheese substitute that was worth purchasing, ever.

Let me stop you there. There is no advantage. Cryptocurrency is a scam. I've been burned. Many others have been burned recently.

This gist is from 2020. OBS does support Wayland now, AFAIK.
The Clean Air Act had a bunch of terms referring to different technological levels. “Reasonably Available Control Technology” applies in certain cases, “Best Available Control Technology,” a more stringent standard, applies in other cases. It’s fair to read the term “system of emissions reduction” in section 111 as being broader and more general than that and encompassing those specific things.

But the fact that those other things are all emissions control technologies strongly suggests that “system of emissions reduction” is referring to a some kind of emissions control technology, not a wholesale change in the operation of the industry.

If a statute addressed SVN, git, Mercurial, and CVS, and then had a catch all referring to “system for version control,” how would you read the meaning of the latter term?

Look at it this way. Wouldn’t it be odd for Congress to go to all the trouble of enumerating all these levels of emissions control technologies that apply in different situations (new sources versus old sources) and then have this catch-all provision that gives the EPA sweeping powers far beyond unrelated to emissions control technologies?

Strictly speaking, Wayland is just the protocol. Pedantry aside, X11 is from 1987, whereas Apple totally redid their display server in 2001 with OS X, and Microsoft in 2006 with Vista. Wayland brings the Linux desktop kicking and screaming into the 21st century. But bazzar development will always be very different than cathedral development, so inevitably Wayland has its problems and rough edges. X11 being longer in the tooth doesn’t help.
> Whats scary is that we have more and more civilization diseases and we have no idea whats causing them beside guesses.

We do have some good mechanistic hypotheses, but most reviews fail to describe them because a lot of research is hand wavy. However, things are slowly reaching mainstream.

Let's consider type 1 diabetes (T1D), which is a common autoimmune disorder where beta cells in the pancreas get destroyed by your own immune system. T1D was rare a century ago, and we know from patient records that incidence increases rapidly whenever a society becomes industrialized. For example, take the Karelia region split between Finland and Russia. People on both sides of the border have the same genetic background. However, children on the Finish side have 10x more incidence of insulin autoantibodies [1]. Microbiomes on both sides are actually very different, with Russian children resembling ancient non-industrialized ones.

The immune system is essentially a huge distributed memory where individual cells recognize small protein or lipid fragments as self or foreign, and then collectively decide whether there is an infection in the particular microenvironment they are exploring. We know T1D typically begins because the immune system recognizes a particular insulin chunk, the amino acid sequence SHLVEALYLVCGERGFF, as foreign. In other more complex autoimmune disorders this part is less clear.

It turns out that many gut bacteria mimic that particular insulin chunk [2]. That probably gives these commensal bacteria the ability to survive and avoid immune responses, and it is a flag of the symbiotic relationship these bacteria have developed with higher organisms in the last 100 million years. Now, the bacterial ecosystem of a modern gut has a lot less diversity than it should and therefore it is very fragile. We don't know exactly what happens before T1D, but one possibility is that these bacteria grow too much in abundance and therefore initiate autoimmunity as T cells found in the pancreas of T1D patients can't distinguish between one protein chunk from these bacteria and insulin.

There are similar patterns in other autoimmune disorders like multiple sclerosis. This patent aims to edit bacterial mimics that cause autoimmunity using a CRISPR system in a pill [3].

Neat story! Also, neat to see someone mention Jack Crenshaw's Let's Build a Compiler series; that was one of the first resources I used, when I started getting interested in compilers.
What I get from your explanation: it’s a new way to deal with cases where one proves ownership of something else (but in a more indirect way than exposing or accessing the thing itself)

That reminded me of proof of domain ownership, where we point a registrar to an arbitrary field in our domain records to prove it’s ours.

Sadly I also don’t have enough imagination to see any practical use for that. It feels like an abstraction above every other systems we have today, except any provider would still need to support both this and the underlying actual protocol…

'burger' no longer refers to Hamburger sandwiches only. So we have chicken burgers, veggie burgers, fish burgers, etc. Where 'burger' is shorthand for hot bun-sandwich. So I'm okay with "impossible burger" I would not be okay with "Impossible Hamburger" A Hamburger would refer to a sandwich made of ground meat --originally a Hamburg steak.

Ah, the “you’re holding it wrong” argument re-contextualized as “you’re just shopping wrong”.

Unfortunately that is not always the case. I don’t know about the parent but I accidentally bought a “Chick’n Burrito” that was right next to the meat burritos. It did not taste like chicken.

Could it have been avoided had I been more careful? Sure! On the other hand vegan dishes taste better than fake meat dishes and I really don’t appreciate the intentionally misleading labeling riding on the good PR of “chicken” and “butter” to try to sell their fakes. Missing a character swap or substitution is not a difficult thing for literate people who are also very tired at the end of the day.
