RDS Proxy is very specific with which versions it supports. If it says it doesn't support it, it doesn't support it.

Postgres 14 is supposed to have built-in connection pooling. If you're on it, do you still feel the need for RDS Proxy? We're using pgbouncer and can't decide if we should switch to RDS Proxy or upgrade to Postgres 14 and drop the external connection pooler.
Is it correct though, or is it a result of incomplete data?
There are interesting attempts at modeling cells using Boolean networks (for example inferred using SAT/SMT), differential equations (preferably stochastic) and also with process algebra. Some are pretty successful.

> [...] we don’t have the tools to physically observe what’s happening in real-time

We do have single-cell technology, which is pretty close as you can get thousands of snapshots of different cells from the same lineage. One can then reorder them into some sort of pseudotime. There are also interesting real-time reporting systems for bacterial cells, but they are not high throughput.

I think the field is still very young, and the current generation of biology professors is mostly allergic to formalism. Some departments are not, a notable exception are Caltech and Cold Spring Harbor (where the author of the essay is based).

I work in an enterprise software ecosystem and on current version (something we call the converged platform), we are getting our SaaS customers upgraded to Aurora from previous SQL DB.

How will you balance the genders? My guess is you'll have too many of one and not enough of the other.
1 train per hour is slightly more than I would expect on Madrid-Barcelona, I'm positively surprised. Spain is really sparsely populated.
and that's exactly how it works now.

I'm not happy we have to rely on animals, believe me, but suitable patients are already hard to find, if we don't test drugs for at least a reasonable definition of safe, we risk to kill the research, not simply slowing it down.

and that's much more probable for those diseases that are rare on humans, that are already underfunded and under researched.
> Maybe eventually they'll be an insurance policy against lost revenue from security breaches and we stop getting in developers way.

There are polices like this, but with the prevalence of ransomeware attacks, insurers demand proof that IT departments adopt safeguards that help mitigate risk. This is in conflict with providing productive work environments to developers.
So in the model, long term storage is only required for the last 1% or so. And the model makers mention a list of things, like interconnects and waste to energy that are not included in the model, and that would further reduce that need, so I feel the model supports my claim that long term storage isn't required, but I think you disagree.

One thing they didn't include in the model, but do mention is the electrification of other sectors, which would require a lot of green hydrogen to be produced. This increases the electricity generated, and also introduces a big modulatable load, which means more hydrogen would be 'stored' but less would need to be burned, which then makes it ambigous if that actually counts as storage, particularly as you could choose to burn it if necessary but then use it for other puproses, like fertilizer, if you didn't need it. I see green hydrogen as the main marketplace competitor to long term storage, so this distinction is important in my view.

Yes, but how much? Most of the rich pay taxes, but how much "should" they pay? Should someone worth 100M pay higher income taxes than someone worth 1M if they make the same income in a given year? Should there be a "limit" on the amount of wealth one can transfer in a given year as which point taxes hit 100%?

Tax schemes and how they affect wealth, inequality, consumption, etc. is an interesting line of thought, and a necessary one, if you accept that the current one has allowed some individuals to get so rich that the rule of law breaks down in their presence.
This is a valid point. I am not the poster you are responding to but the top level poster. I too don’t follow people I know and perhaps that’s the difference from the social platforms. In that regard it is more like YouTube, but unlike YouTube, the algorithm isn’t radicalizing me other than making me want to learn guitar again.

So what is it about YouTube that makes people more likely to become radical incels willing to shoot up a school, and TikTok makes people more like to learn a new dance routine and leave with a smile?

Of course but I'm talking about more consumer-facing (and.. 'interactive' in a way car manufacturers aren't) companies, social media, etc.

Closest I can think of are Ocado and Monzo, neither of which (especially the latter) are big enough to compare yet. Perhaps Just Eat (UberEats competitor) too which recently announced US partnership with Amazon. (Veering off-topic here but I've long been surprised that Deliveroo hasn't massively expanded globally? That's the dominant one in London at least, and very quickly ate Just Eat's lunch, which long predated it.)
> It doesn't have to be competitive on price. I'd use it at twice, or even three times the price of a cab, simply because the service delivers on what it promises, without unnecessary fluff.

That is indeed how much Uber cost when it first came out. Particularly because they sent out nicer luxury cars and had to hire limo drivers. Uber used to be called UberCab, but the medallion cartel didn't let new entries in so easily and forced the change from UberCab -> Uber, and also made it so they had to use luxury limo drivers. Still, users chose and taxis died, rightly so.

The unit economics are there that whatever Taxis charged Uber should be able to charge the same or less. If anything Uber et al are removing overheads not adding to them. The only way taxis would be cheaper would be if they were dodging taxes with their "no credit cards" policies.
>What we need is an outbreak of social media literacy among the youngest members of society. Like, this needs to be taught at school in first grade or something.

I use TikTok loads and I'm completely onboard with the idea that it's extremely concerning for democracy. Nuanced education doesn't help any more than it would for say, healthy eating advocacy vs fast food industry. We need carrot and stick approaches.

I think that's subjective. I have no problems with mine!
When I hear such stories, I always remember that there are two sides to a story and people often lie or embellish to make themselves look good.

Police don't do everything right. But if you think that _everybody_ who had a bad interaction did nothing wrong, well, that's just foolish.
To add another data point. This is much harder to read for me compared to the non-coloured text.
However, I am not dyslectic. The colour is distracting, my mind is trying to figure out what those colours mean, and how it should interpret them. Thinking about that, maybe it gets better with time. My mind would figure out those colours and use that information to read faster.
> Barely went to Biden in 2020, yes, but Gov and Legislature are GOP dominated, and have been for some time.

But this is only because of Trump's lies and Fox news collusion with Trump. If they gave Biden and honest wrap and told their viewers how historic a Biden presidency would be and how Biden would fight like hell to bring the prices of kitchen table issues down then he would have won Arizona in a landslide.
I disagree. I use a vaultless password manager and I have the metadata for my most common accounts (Google, Amazon, etc) memorized so I am not completely dependent on the metadata file. The vaultless password manager can easily be downloaded anywhere, and could even be manually implemented if need be so I'm not completely helpless without my phone unlike my PM friends.
> But to answer your question about copies : Rust is a move-only language, copies are actually called `.clone()`, except for a few types which are cheap enough to copy that they implement the `Copy` trait.

This is almost true, but not exact. Copy is for everything where cloning is just memcopy, that doesn't means it's necessarily cheap ([42;4_000_000] implements Copy, yet it's not cheap to copy at all…).

And moving things sometimes (but not always) means the thing is getting memcopied (or it could use a pointer, depending on the optimizer's m̶o̶o̶d̶ euristics)
vortex was never a good tool to start with (compared to MO2) and their collections are way subpar to WJ. So don't let you convince yourself just because Vortex is bad, WJ also has to be.
Probably the latter. The big drop is not consistent with the withdrawal plot (no spike in that one.)
> Uber is the worst kind of business preying on the lower class claiming independence and freedom

Sounds like Uber was the original web3 business
This is pretty transparently a law to keep people from collecting evidence of bad police behavior. There's been entirely too much of that and people are starting to question the unaccountable armed gangs that roam our cities. To fix people noticing that this might be bad, Arizona is enacting laws to ensure the police can continue to brutalize without repercussions.

It's unfortunate that this thread is full of bootlickers doing mental gymnastics to justify what is clearly an unjust law, but this is HN after all
What would happen at the retreat? Just indoctrination?
I dated developers for years and we rarely discussed work or tech.

I dumped an ex-gf because she was going to be a doctor and that's not the life I wanted for my family.

There are plenty of developers who are quite different from yourself.

What being a developer seems to indicate is: making decent financial/career choices, willingness to automate away your job

How does it keep personal data safe? I had a look at “how it works” and “faqs” but they don’t answer how you keep stuff safe? It also gets uploaded to S3?

I might have missed it, but I need to know exactly where our PII is stored (so not on a dev laptop), how do you know what to replace and what do you do with any info you do replace?

Edit: To answer my own question, via transformers. But that seems to suggest each dev has to keep it up to date with any schema changes etc

I noticed a downvote; not sure why (and I'm not really bothered), but I could add that the word "controversial" is a neutral observation: people were either for him or against him at the time, there was very little middle ground.
Just to add to this, the last thing that will be taken over by computers is tox testing. This is the last step that says "this drug is safe enough in primates to test in humans". It's the most complicated type of animal testing, because it is necessarily the interaction of every system in the body that could cause a tox issue.

So sure, we use modeling, and it's getting better, but it's not going to replace toxicology studies any time soon, unless every other human system is replicated in silico first.
Not to mention the upcoming wave of Xenotransplantation. The gentleman receiving the pig heart transplant was only the beginning. Now we have a genetically engineered, separate line of swine specifically bred to provide us with spare parts on an industrial scale.

Not poster you asked but:

With Uber you don't pay the driver directly. The price is set by a third party and so is the recommended route. Tricky to swindle the rate, route or tips. In areas where drivers have to be licensed, that is enforced so passenger and driver identity has some verification
This is missing the (very effective) anti-competitive tactics used to grow Chrome market share.

> You conveniently left out the plagiarism part regarding ReLUs:

You are arguing 100% in bad faith. I specifically cited #9 because it is absurdly unreasonable to counter the entire gish galloping. Your counter argument is to cite #8

You are well aware that not citing an earlier paper with different implementation and results is not plagiarism. There is absolutely no evidence of plagiarism anywhere.

If you drop the word "plagiarism" and replace it with "priority in invention" the allegations still don't stick, as I explained for #8.

It is one thing to say that Schmidhuber did not get due credit, but quite another to call Hinton a plagiarist.

Following up on your logic is absurd, because I can conveniently state that back prop is just the chain rule in differentiation by Newton and everyone else has plagiarized from him. And ReLU was plagiarized by Fukushima from neuroscience researchers.

DNNs are an empirical engineering technique. Priority in proposing a technique is not remarkable. Most techniques like ReLU and back prop are straightforward to develop and understand. What matters is the absolute performance gain over SOTA techniques.

I cannot claim priority over Fazlur Rahman if I had the idea to build skyscrapers using a tubular design. This is not theoretical physics. Building a sky scraper is an engineering problem. You have to actually build the sky scraper to claim victory.

this is interesting.

i have been considering similar ideas when i was working on a blog frontend for my object storage platform. i can edit text files with any editor, upload them to the platform, and the system will convert them to an article.

one of the things i was considering was to make it possible to embed images without any markup. the idea was to have an article represented as a folder, with images and text parts as multiple files. all files would be sorted and then assembled into one article with images and other objects.

In general you’re right, but there are some tells because humans don’t have a random delay. It’s connected with the complexity (from the perspective of how humans think, which is different from engine calculation) of the position. One of the things that makes cheaters stand out is they will have a random weird delay on various obvious moves.
The robot taxi could always stop next to a robotic arm, similar to the one from a car factory. But your point is well made.

Copy types must be trivially copiable bitwise (the clone implementation is returning the deref of the cloned type), so a copy is a move except for the fact that the previous reference is not invalidated.

That sounds great but now you're in court and having to prove that you were further than 8 feet. So you were harassed by police, arrested, charged with this crime, and sent to court. This is just another tool for police to harass citizens that is completely unnecessary for the safety of the public.

> I can not possibly believe that the police are an overall force for good.

Simple test: will it hurt more _overall_ to suddenly lose them or keep them?

> You can turn on the news and the evidence is right there.

Selection bias is huge - not making the news are the vast, vast, majority of daily interactions that are net positives for society.

I’m not saying everything is perfect, but talking about “the police” as if they are a monolith in a country of hundreds of millions spread across 50 states and innumerable local communities is never going to be a good starting point for analysis.
In case anyone else is interested in the not-at-all-obvious-answer [1], I’ll save you the google: autorotation

> Autorotation is the ability of a helicopter to in some situations have its rotors powered by the flow of air rather than the engine. In short, as the helicopter descends, the upward directed flow of air pushes through the rotors, makes them rotate faster, which in turn provides lift.

What's the alternative though? I also wish we would completely stop paying Russia, but this will come at incredible financial and stability (i.e: Europe falling apart) costs. Perhaps we should increase our spending on ending the war sooner instead. I don't know. We're caught between a rock and a hard place.
Some companies have a culture that favours meetings and cross-team builds over documentation and internal platforms. It might just be that someone doing more collaboration is working on more ill-defined problems, or are at a different part of the development cycle.
There are people who’s sense of self-confidence is so fragile that they cannot allow themselves the possibility of losing or feeling “lesser than” in any context. Cheating and being banned is much better than showing the world your actual skill level and confronting the possibility of failure and judgment. The thought process goes something like “well if I beat them by cheating they’re a sucker for actually trying. And if I get banned then that’s the system out to get me”

Such a person often ends up making an absolute fool of themselves from the perspective of someone with a little bit more self integrity. But maybe it is worth extending a little compassion, after all a lack of compassion is probably how they ended up like that anyhow.
Well for one Twitter was just an example, more that that is what I imagine they would probably use than anything else, not central to the point.

But also, I'm not saying it's better or whatever or making any sort of judgement? I'm just saying I don't think the media-led organisation has 'all that power' - they'll just go where all the news is, because it's their job, and the government (currently) lets that be where they want?

Twitter doesn't have any more power in that example, it's also just the avenue my hypothetical chancellor self chose to announce a press conference, he could have done it on Facebook, or Volksbook, or whatever, it's up to him, that was my point.
It's probably a script generating the text.

I am not aware of any study on prophylactically use, but I am cautiously hopefully that it work based on personal experience and from what I hear. For water sport activities, flushing with clean fresh water, dry it, and then spraying an acid solution seems to give some defense in keeping outer ear infections at bay. Alcohol could help drying it out, through because of the risk of triggering inflammation in the middle ear I personally avoid it.

I don't know why the studies shows them to be ineffective. Since they include acid drops in the studies it seems to be a well known home remedy, and given that it used prophylactically by the military in several countries there seems to be some reason for it. I could make a guess that doctors in the military/pediatric care are already keeping the ear of the patient dry so that alcohol don't provide any additional benefits, and they remove vax/debri in case those prevent the ear from drying.
Just for chess specifically?
When you put it like that, it sounds as if there was some other decision that same government could realistically taken at that time that would have improved Sri Lanka's state significantly.

I think not. It was already close to disaster and not heading away. That government didn't have the ability (intellectual and/or financial resources) to turn around. The precise details of the decisions made shortly before the final disaster don't matter very much, and IMO definitely aren't the most significant reason.

IMO that sudden organic lurch didn't help. But that single lurch didn't turn a sort of tropical Switzerland into a disaster zone.
What happened at the retreats?
Quick search gave no answers...
You couldn’t be bothered to walk outside a “restricted access” area with what you call “scary warning signs” at the entrances, and you blame the Uber drivers for not wanting to take their chances driving past that sign to pick up you and your companion? Oh and the taxi driver also failed to pick you up there, and you finally move your butts to go meet the taxi.

The Uber drivers probably thought the pickup location was a mistake- they get there and say “I can’t pickup here, this is a wrong location” and cancel the job.

So three drivers can’t find you, including a taxi, and this is Ubers fault somehow, not yours for making unreasonable demands of drivers. I suppose it was Ubers fault that the cab couldn’t find you either? It amazes me how people rationalize blaming others in situations like this.
