I suppose wisdom is in the eye of the beholder, as it should be. One perspective is that teachers come in many forms and always have something to impart. You take some of what they offer and leave some, but you stay on your own path.

Regarding Osho specifically, I might not have heard or read enough from him, but I have yet to come across something he's said or wrote personally, that contradicts anything said by the likes of TNH or J.Krishnamurti. And vice versa. His life has concluded, and with hindsight it's easy enough for anyone to put his words and actions in the context of his times and to deliberate as to the rightfulness of thence judgments. If you've avoided his words based on popular sentiments, do yourself a favor, listen for yourself and make up your own mind.
It was ridiculously hot but I would compare it to brakes being slammed with so many companies instating hiring freezes or slow downs like Meta, Snap, Salesforce, Microsoft, Uber, Robinhood, and Stripe.
Ok, but notice this argument is based on purely probabilistic assumptions and that all micro-states are equally probable to occur and do occur in time. There is still the question whether these assumptions are valid in a given physics system.

In physics we know much more about evolution of systems, for example in classical mechanics model of gas, there are deterministic equations of motion which also conserve some quantities like energy. So not all thinkable chaotic states are accessible, and the evolution of state is not a repeated random choice out of the whole set of states.
Can BigQuery be added? I'm interested to know how it compares in these sorts of scenarios.

We use BQ because I do NOT want to have to deal w/management of any of the infrastructure; paying by query is convenient for our small team. But if there is true value that can be realized by something like ClickHouse, I want to see how it compares.
> I think our current scheme is wrong, in a moral sense

If we had, say, 1000x the resources that could be used without too adverse of consequences, would it still be wrong in your eyes?

Or are you saying that you don't believe that the resource use is justified within our current constraints?
I was expecting the proposed approach to be a prompt hack that gets the model to output a well-calibrated confidence value as text.

Assuming sick time is a separate pool (which is less common than it used to be and isn't mentioned), then yes in the US 15 days would be pretty standard for someone with experience but might be as low as 10 for someone without. It's almost certainly on the low side if that's a common vacation/sick time pool.
That is not madness and not bad either. It's just not capitalism. (I am not claiming that it is anti-capitalism or anything of the sort. It's a proverbial pear in response to: is this an apple?)
If you've never done it before the magnets are really strong and are often the only thing holding the arm in place.
See, that's just ridiculously backwards. If you want to paste something special, then you use paste-special. Otherwise, just paste the damn text like every other thing on the planet. Paset Special shouldn't do the normal/expected thing. It should do something other, special, thing that is outside of the normal/expected thing.

The main idea is to train a deep learning model to encode a high-dimensional sample to a low-dimensional vector in a latent space. Then it can be used in various downstream tasks such as KNN applications, semantic search, multimodal retrieval, recommendation systems, anomaly detection etc. It's not limited to the image domain --it can be also audios, texts, videos, or more specific entities such as authors, soccer players, songs etc. The size of the dataset can be thought of being similar to other deep learning methods, but you can make a choice among various similarity learning methods based on the size of your dataset or according to whether it's labeled or not. A common approach is (1) to train a base model by using a self-supervised method with a bulk amount of unlabeled data and (2) to finetune it on a more specific domain or task with a smaller labeled dataset. If you can start with a pretrained model such as ResNet or BERT, you can skip the first step.
This is what I came across:

> Helion has demonstrated the concept[4] in a D–D reactor with plasmoids that fire once every three minutes, and it is now seeking $15 million in private financing over the next five years to develop a full- scale machine that could use D–T fuel to reach the break-even point, when it generates as much energy as it takes to run. The company hopes that its reactor could eventually reach the hotter conditions needed to fuse deuterium with helium-3, another combination that produces only α-particles and protons, with no neutron by-products.

I leave it running continuously for weeks on my Mac, with no issues. It is currently using 700MB across all of its processes (5 by my count). Doesn't seem like that big of a problem.

@sub7 specifically called out FileCoin as a money grab, I don't understand their reasoning (which might be because I'm a newbie to FileCoin/web3). And from @sub7's reply to @TheIronYuppie, it doesn't look like they are willing to explain further.

If somebody else could perhaps speculate about the detailed reasoning behind @sub7's claims (or even their own reasoning as to why FileCoin is a money-grab), that would also be great.
We're talking about my front yard. I can go on street view and see exactly what everybody else driving by sees. The only change is that they scrub faces and license plates, which I could do using AgentDVR + DeepStack.cc and some scripting.

As a lawyer, there is so much more that falls under the umbrella of "practicing law" that is nowhere near as demanding as a trial or contract negotiations. I personally think the credentials that lawyers have are completely unnecessary for a large portion of the tasks that only lawyers are allowed to perform.

I think the bar exam is more like, sufficient but not necessary, anyone who can pass the bar is easily capable of being a lawyer, but I don't think the bar is necessary at all to prove that someone is capable.

PC-DOS's predecessor, 86-DOS, was allegedly reverse engineered from CP/M. The subsequent lower development costs probably account for at least some of the price difference between the two products.
I can definitely get thinner lenses using a higher-index material, but I selected this lens material specifically because it has a higher Abbe number and thus has less chromatic aberrations. The thickness doesn't bother me, but chromatic aberrations do, a lot. I cannot tolerate the excessive colour fringing high-index lenses have, and while contact lenses don't have this problem I dislike those even more.

I have lenses with an optical index of 1.61, which have an Abbe number of 41. In comparison, basic polycarbonate has Abbe 30 (horrible), high-index 1.67 has Abbe 32, and high-index 1.74 has Abbe 33. The best is CR-39 (index 1.5) with Abbe 59, but that will result in an absurdly thick lens, and I'm not sure it's even available in such a strong prescription.

It absolutely still is Angular.js. Just one click with Dev Tools and I already found ng-if and ng-class attributes.

That’s not to say Angular.js can’t be used for apps that complex! It’s just a lot easier to get it wrong compared to more modern frameworks.
Which is why people that consider them selves capitalist and market economists tend to dislike subsidies.
I see that other systems often forgot many small details.

Imagine you are implementing COUNT(DISTINCT) function. And imagine it is used in GROUP BY something, like GROUP BY region_id. And on realistic datasets, you will have a large number of different region_id and something like power law distribution of their frequency: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zipf%27s_law

Then you will expect that most of the values of COUNT(DISTINCT) will be small. And the natural optimization will be - using a linear array before using a hash table. Or: place smaller hash tables in something like a memory pool.

This is about a ton of optimizations on distributions of real datasets.

The Prime minicomputer architecture, from the 80's. Competed with Dec VAX, Data General Eclipse, etc.

The Prime architecture was based on the Multics design from a group of guys hailing from Honeywell and MIT. I worked on Primes for around 12 years, worked for Prime briefly in the 80's, and wrote an emulator that runs many versions of Prime's OS, Primos: https://github.com/prirun/p50em

Prime systems are very much the opposite of RISC, with instructions for:

- process exchange and task scheduling

- procedure call, incl arguments, ring crossing, stack handling, register saves

- decimal arithmetic, incl picture editing for COBOL & PL/I

- string instructions and picture editing

- 6 CPU modes for compatibility with older processors

- DMA, DMC, DMT, DMQ I/O modes for controller access to memory

- 32, 64, and 128-bit floating point

My workflow doesn't address your primary problem of reclaiming storage; I've addressed that with buying more local storage: I rely on two TrueNAS servers and Backblaze B2.

The primary TrueNAS server has a dataset for photos and is served via Samba share that I mount, as my primary access point across devices. Lightroom points to this share for the photos, and iCloud for Windows downloads new photos and videos to this share, as well.

On a weekly basis, that dataset is replicated to the secondary server and also synced to B2 via `rclone`. I do make use of the `rclone crypt`[0] option before pushing to B2, where the filenames are scrambled. There's no particular reason for this, other than it's how I first set it up years ago and haven't needed to change it. I have practiced file recoveries periodically to ensure I can still access my photos via `rclone`.

Assuming you have a Mac paired with your iPhone, I'd consider iCloud for the usability wins for your requirements. You can toggle the setting to download original resolution photos for the desktop Photos app and backup the resulting files separately. Perhaps to Glacier.

I had the same issue with a Surface Book 3 running Win11.

It seemed more pronounced after the Win11 upgrade. But it was still bad on 10.

The eventual fix was switching machines to one with 32gb RAM. Smooth like butter now.

Yes it is ridiculous that 16gb is not enough for day to day stuff.

Since we're on this topic: Up until a few weeks ago I swear when I got an invitation link and opened it in Firefox I could just join with the browser. Then two weeks ago it forced me to download the app for linux, no way to join with the browser.

Is there any workaround for that? Faking the user agent? I didn't have the time then to grab an extension and start fiddling around, so I just spun up a VM and installed the app...

Everybody who wants to go back to the office - are you being honest? Are you looking to get more work done then you can at home? Or, do you miss the socialization of the office and the external activities? I assume nobody is looking forward to the commute again…

Don’t be surprised if those who did just fine at home are a little grumpier and less tolerant then they were pre covid, particularly in group/open offices.
Someone who is 18 is already an adult. Trying to enforce restrictions to an adult will only generate pushback and resentment. At that age, it is too late. You can let him play and live that way or you may try to fix it. The later will only cause discussions and fights.
On a relevant note: Ukraine, Russia, Turkey, and UN brokered a deal to allow the transport of Ukrainian wheat from the Black Sea just a few minutes ago [0], this is a relief as space for the new harvest had to be made or it was likely 2 harvests worth of wheat would be lost over this myopic invasion and cause severe famine: mainly in the under-developed World, specifically Turkey who has suffered immense inflation, and could look like Sri Lanka pretty soon.

> Over a hundred years ago, a similar idea: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Conquest_of_Bread

Kropotkin's work still stands to this day, when the invasion in Ukraine happened it was volunteers who set up all those relef centers in Poland, not the government. It was the people who setup care packages of food, and offered to transport them and house them. It's rare... but this is what guides me in my darkest moments, these glimpses of what Humanity can be if it allows itself to look beyond the vapid, and often shallow existence most are forced into that leads so many into depression and sorrow. I don't believe in communism, but their is something integral about Humans in which we are often capable of becoming our best self when tragedy strikes, I just wish their was a way to sustain that when not under great duress.

Victor Hugo also was motivated by an encounter that touched him so much to include the plight of a young man being imprisoned for stealing bread in one of his novels [1].

If my kid was spending 8+ hours a day on the computer, it would tell me they don't have enough to do - and should have a job.

Stop buying things for 18 year olds - including clothes and other necessities other than the absolute basics (assuming they live at home) - 8 hours per day free time means they have enough free time to get a job and pay their own way.

As a parent of 4 successful kids - all now grown - leaving them wanting more than you provide them for free - that they then have to work and pay for themselves, can do wonders.

You haven't met a lot of 18 year old from the last couple generations.

Regardless of reasons, there appears to be a huge deficit of "growing up" in a large fraction of modern 18 year olds.

> many Lispers end up writing GFs named things like widget-frobnicate and sprocket-frobnicate

If they do that, they're doing it wrong. Probably because they are bringing in ideas from the non-Lisp world, not realizing that these techniques are not actually good programming practice, they are strategies for dealing with deficiencies in mainstream languages.

IMHO languages should be made to serve programmers. Programmers should not have to work to serve the language. So if I want to frobnicate something I want to be able to write (frobnicate the-thing) and have it Just Work. Common Lisp gives me that (when it's is used properly). No other language does.

> when I program in a Lisp-1, I struggle with the semantic overhead of avoiding accidentally binding a variable that happens to be the name of a function

Yes, that is why Lisp-2 is the Right Answer.

not sure about pricing here, but graviton on aws has generally offered more performance at a lower price point, which is likely linked to lower power usage and perhaps lower cost of custom silicon vs intel.

the notion, "the cloud is expensive", ignores the fact that the cloud is not just rented hardware, but staff, facilities, planning, management, etc..

there are businesses where it makes more sense to own hardware and employ your own staff, but if you just want generic compute and storage, you're unlikely to do it as well for less.

also you cannot easily source arm hardware commercially, there is the honeycomb lx2, and its' lead time is months for a single unit. if you want hundreds of nodes, you're gonna use a cloud provider who manufactures their own silicon.

I use this with mods on steps 5 & 6.

We have super hard water. Despite soaping to degrease the lenses, our water never just sheets off like soft or distilled water does on a really clean surface. It beads up and leaves deposits when droplets evaporate. So step 5 is problematic for me.

After the rinse, I set the glasses down on a paper towel - temple pieces extended as if I were going to put them on. The lens frames rest on the paper towel, their lower parts in contact with the towel.

I use canned air to gently drive droplets down front & back surfaces to the bottom of the lenses. They then generally wick away into the paper towel, or else evaporate at the lens/frame interface. No need for step 6. Takes about 30 sec, leaves no spots on the lenses after.
