Yes, in the moment I ordered a GPU instance with per hour billing an invoice for about 1 month of that instance was charged as "credit". They say I did it, but at no point I filed such order, and if I did, at no point that amount was shown to me.

Maybe a bug or some UX/UI shenanigans, since I also got errors to cancel such invoice and obtain a refund. But since I complained through PayPal they've been acting in bad faith (like contesting my dispute the very last day without getting back to me, or changing the reason why I I'm not eligible for a refund).
You're not going to get a useful answer to that question, just lots of people from both sides of the argument caricaturing and insulting their opponents (as you will see if you peruse the responses).
Well, I'm using a ThinkPad right now and I don't own a Framework. Even though I tend to like each successive model less and less, I'm kind of resigned to my next laptop being a ThinkPad too :-P.

Whether the market justifies the investment is not a question I can answer, but the Framework looks pretty decent otherwise and if it had a pointing stick keyboard I would buy one and give it a go.

I think I paid about £300 for my TeX Shinobi, so I guess I'd be prepared to pay a similar premium on a laptop.
In fact, shrinking population is further deferred by improving health and longevity.
This means that many countries which seemingly stable population are in fact growing older and older, leading to an eventual cliff.

I feel like this article, and the discussion here, is conflating two different ideas.

- If I measure what I do, that helps me know I'm actually accomplishing what I hope to accomplish.

- If someone higher up in the organisation reads the measurements I have produced for myself, they get confused at best. In practise, the effect is often that they are actively mislead by the numbers.

The difference is local context. It's easy to improve work by measurement if you're close to the work and understand all the nuances of it.

Constructing measurements that can convey all the necessary context easily takes more time than just doing the job, sometimes multiples of it. (As can be seen by the proportionally growing body of administrators in any reasonably large corporation.)

This goes back to Deming, of course. The more fundamental difference is the presence of theory. Theory is what you get when you combine measurements with an appropriate mental model of the situation -- something front-line workers can do, but executives do not have the necessary experience for.

Numbers in the absence of theory (what executives have) are worse than useless: they're like driving on the highway by looking at the centre line in the rear view mirror. Numbers in the presence of theory (what front-line workers have) is the backbone of any good operation.
Again, I've had the opposite experience. I've used nothing but Mercurial at work for the last 2.5 years, and yet how to do this in git was obvious (and `git rebase -i HEAD~` gives a fourth way).

But even using Mercurial day-to-day, I had to look up whether `hg strip` or `hg uncommit` has `evolve` integration (no and yes, respectively), and I'm not sure I could fix botched history edits.

http://zzo38computer.org/prog/farbfeld.zip or use the fossil repository http://zzo38computer.org/fossil/farbfeld.ui

Compile the programs that you want; in this case, ff-tensor, ff-enlarge, and ff-scanf.

And then you will need the conversions; for example, ff-xcapture captures X window screen, ff-xwin displays the picture on the screen, pngff decodes PNG, and ffpng encodes PNG. (If you prefer, you can also use any other farbfeld programs (including the original implementation from suckless); the latest version of ImageMagick also supports farbfeld, so you can also use that to convert the pictures.)

(You can ignore all of the files that you do not need (you do not need to compile all of them; in fact you can delete the files that you do not need); only a few of them have dependencies such as pngff and ffpng depend on LodePNG (which is included), and ff-xwin depends on X window system.)

The only reason I use Airbnb is because I like to have a full featured kitchen when I'm traveling to cook my own food a few times.

ooh this is really cool. hopefully it works with something like spatialite. i have a need to store the OpenStreetMap road network at various points in its history and being able to branch and update those branches without each consuming gigabytes more of data would be super useful.

I don't think I have an unusual amount of TLS issues per site browsed, I just browse many sites.

For example, today wikiless.org's certificate is expired, and I cannot ignore the error in Waterfox because of HSTS, unless I "forget about this site", which removes all my History entries.

I would estimate that I have about one issue per 100 sites browsed, which adds up.

Without the hosts, AirBnB has nothing to offer.

There's always another fool who has yet to be burned bad enough ready to roll the AirBnB dice. Guest churn is expected. But no hosts in an area means AirBnB has nothing to offer in the area.
Did you come up with the requirements and specs?

Did you do all the UX design?

Did you write the backend?

Did you do the QA testing?
Did you get feedback from users and change the design based on their feedback?

If you did all of those things then you can say "I built it", if not, that you can say I was part of the team that built it. A major part perhaps, but a part.

I like your thoughts… I don’t agree about privatization (since the private companies would be a guaranteed monopoly and we see how well that works with internet…), but maybe something similar could also be accomplished by making car registration fees proportional to number of miles driven and size of vehicle, to pay for road damage. Charge 2¢ per mile per ton of vehicle weight or something. Exempt mass transit (busses).

Average 2 ton car pays 4¢ per mile, or $400/year at 10k miles.

Drive a big unnecessary truck, might be 10¢ per mile in road maintenance.

Since road damage is exponential relative to vehicle weight, bikes and pedestrians are basically negligible and we could just round that to $0. Motorcycles under 300 lbs could be small flat rate.
I created a confidential salary survey app for companies/candidates who don't want to give a number. The idea was that the company would put a budget, and just get a yes/no answer whether the candidate expectation was in range.

This way nobody loses any negotiation leverage, and no interview time would be wasted over salary.

I didn't know how to get traction for it though. Any ideas?

Cars are way more fungible.

How many hosts are in the area you're staying, open and available for your travel time range, with the same quality and amenities that you want?

Who cares what kind of uber car you get? There are thousands of them, and they just get you from point A to B.

I tried Airbnb once, only to find out just before departure that the host had booked the place for someone else on VRBO. (I only found out because I asked the host a question about parking!)
I agree with your views - its great and ultimately enriching that people approach this fascinating field on these varying levels of mathematical rigor. They complement each other nicely. He kind of says it himself, „we are building tools for people to get things done“, meaning there is this utilitarian point to ML, and empirism as a vehicle into the unknown is totally fine. The rigor/theoretical treatment will come over time anyways.

What I can more sympathize with is this notion of „AI colonialism“ happening somewhat. We can‘t trust our ML tools too easily, and should listen to domain experts maybe a bit more than many currently do.

That he criticizes AlphaFold2 is especially interesting I think. That model is clearly very useful, and crucially it is well calibrated and its limitations are in the process of being characterized. The measures of model quality are also not arbitrary at all, they have been used for sometimes decades in the field. If funding dries up - we will see. That would be tragic as there are still many interesting problems to solve there, AF2 should just be a start that enables research in many interesting new directions.

I've been enjoying the Culture series by Ian M. Banks a lot and I'm currently reading the second novel. It's about a future where a part of the Universe lives in the Culture, a society governed by superintelligent AIs. It's objectively cool, but also deals with deep questions like "What do you do as a human, if you don't have have to do anything?".

> There are a bunch of authorities that proof you're a human already. They give you passport and the like. There is nothing prohibiting them from giving you a verifiable credential in addition of a passport.

Except they don't do that today, at least in Glassdoor's biggest market (the US). And anyway, all you prove with a credential is that the person is holding a valid credential. You have no idea if it was stolen.

If you used social security numbers for this, for example, a single person could have posted millions of reviews on Glassdoor.

> Also, there are services that proof your humanity all over the internet.

Which ones? The only services that do this are the government and credit bureaus, so the digital services all have to tie in to one of those things. That means that someone is getting your real identity, which doesn't prevent the type of subpoena we're talking about in this case.

And on top of that, those identity checks can be anywhere from $1 to $20. There's no way Glassdoor would survive that.

The ultra-Orthodox Jews in Rockland are wrong. They just are. I'm Jewish. Judaism places the value of life above all else (Pikuach Nefesh). There's 613 commandments that guide an Orthodox Jew's life and you are commanded to break virtually all of them to preserve life. Vaccines are life preserving. By what interpretation of Judaism they can refuse vaccination, I cannot imagine.

At least that's my understanding of Judaism and how it was taught to me.

ZFS is more akin to a logical volume manager (inc. software raid) and a filesystem though.

XFS is just a filesystem, it's not trying to solve the same issues.

Higher end RAID cards also do block level validations in the background. It isn't filesystem aware but it is sufficient to suss out bad clusters and relocate data proactively.

The point of ZFS systems is to avoid such hardware based checksumming systems, but RAID cards have been doing this validation for many years now.

The hardware solutions we have now provide silent corruption protection from the storage controller down to the actual media.

ZFS extends that protection to the filesystem layer in the kernel and when used in isolation of modern hardware solutions can protect the whole stack.

Ok, so let's cut through the woo:

A crystal is a repeating pattern of elements in space. For example, a diamond is carbon atoms - the same thing in ordinary coal - arranged in a particular shape of grid.

You can have patterns that are made in time rather than space, such as by hitting a drum with a stick in time with music. Of course, this isn't really very crystal-like, because the drum doesn't try to resist you hitting it off-time. However, there are certain atomic-scale materials that do resist your horrible off-beat drumming, and you "hit" them with a laser rather than a drumstick. These systems are time crystals[0].

You can also have crystal patterns that don't repeat, which are called quasicrystals. For every quasicrystal, there's a higher-dimension crystal that it is a shadow of. You could imagine, say, a 3D grid or lattice that you can shine a light through onto a piece of paper to get an irregular 2D pattern, which would be your quasicrystal. The two structures are related to one another, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the flatlanders living in it have proof of the existence of a third dimension.

The new development is time quasicrystals: i.e. a drum that you can bang with some non-repeating pattern and it will also keep in time with the pattern even if you are off. The stuff about "acting like it has two time dimensions" is more woo; there is a 2D time relation to the 1D time quasicrystal, but there is no actual 2D time shenanigans going on. The non-repeating pattern apparently also makes the time crystal better at "keeping time" which may help build more stable qubits for quantum computers.

[0] Note that you can't have spacetime crystals in the same material. You can either have atoms that link to one another with chemical bonds to form a pattern, or atoms that trade their bonds in rhythmic patterns, but not both.
FWIW, the default scaling settings have no problem letting the M2 Macbook Air hit 80-90 Celsius by default, it will just heavily start throttling the performance cores to prevent overheating, which better cooling helps mitigate.
Pyramids is also my favorite (so far, still working through the series chronologically)!

Without too much of a spoiler, but at the point whenever, uh, the physics and time gets weird, I was dying laughing about the interactions between the pyramid building brothers.

This is such a ridiculously specific situation most people won’t ever be in.

It’s such a small portion of the population that would have such a need for a gun that it can be handled as a special case in laws. No reason the rest of society can’t be safe.
Not all of us got (cough any) CS degrees though, and while technically the information is all out there for me to find, I wouldn't necessarily have a reason to look, or on those rare occasions where my sysadmin/DBA projects do throw up a problem that one of these algorithms/structures are suited for - I wouldn't know _to_ look, or even how.

That's possibly one of the better arguments for doing a CS degree actually, at least for me. But 20 years ago when I might have cared, CS was always advertised as "you'll learn data structures and algorithms" and that's it. ( 20 yr old me: "I know loops and recursion, linked lists, some basic trees and oh look this "perl" thing has hashes, meh I'll be fine" )

If they'd listed out the sort of descriptions I've seen here.. well, I might have had a very different life!

So I'm absolutely loving this thread!

> The only use case where AirBNB sort of makes sense

Here's a weird case where AirBNB might make more sense than a hotel:

I have a medical cannabis licence. Hotels don't seem to like the idea of me vapourising cannabis indoors, but an AirBNB host might be okay with it if I ask first (assuming otherwise legal in the area).
Yep, that's why more and more countries or cities are banning short-term rentals. Imagime living in an avrage apartment building, and your neighbor decides to rent out the apartment to airbnbers, every few days, a new group of people, partying all day and night long, not caring about neighbors, and in the meantime, the property prices are rising sky high, becuase every apartment in remotly touristy areas is bought up immediatly to serve as an airbnb rental property.
In general I agree with you, just want to point out that, as others mentioned, inflation was already in a historic record since 1982 by January/22, before the war. Also:

> Russia
No one did really stop buying Russian exports, as we can see through RUB/USD YTD. Their exports actually grew.

> COVID, lockdowns
It disrupted businesses and supply chains and still has a direct impact on inflation.

Having said that, I think it's about the contribution of each, and I believe all the quantitative easing and the fiscal spending plans may play a larger role on economic issues than many would like to admit.
Hard linking files isn’t useful in my experience because it requires every tool working with that file to never delete it and recreate it. However that’s what exactly many tools do. So the only way to reliably “share” a file is with a symlink. At least this is true for my workflows.
I think the grandparent commenter is illustrating how confusing this is. To break it down, here are the chips and laptop models:

- M1 Macbook Air (old)
- M1 Macbook Pro 13" (old)
- M1 Pro Macbook Pro 14" (or M1 Max)
- M1 Pro Macbook Pro 16" (or M1 Max)
- M2 Macbook Air
- M2 Macbook Pro 13"

Note that the "Pro" modifier can be applied to both the laptop and to the chip. An M1 Pro or M1 Max is significantly more powerful than an M1 and still more powerful than an M2. An M2 Pro or M2 Max _chip_ doesn't yet exist, though the linked article's title confusingly implies it does. The thermal pad mod just makes the M2 Macbook Air perform as well as the M2 Macbook Pro 13", but it doesn't make it perform as well as the M1 Pro/Max Macbook Pro 14"/16". Benchmarks: https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks

To summarize: M1 Max > M1 Pro > M2 > M1

pretty confusing

Of particular worry, decreasing population entails decreasing gene pool (as I understand it). Thus, with a lack of sufficient genetic diversity in a small population, the species enters a mutation-motivated extinction vortex [1].

Biology is a very existing field from the standpoint of mathematical formalism, which is lacking relative to the much older field of Physics. In this regard, I'm reminded of how the overly simple math of Mendelian inheritance motivated the bad policy of eugenics [2].

I welcome any proper Biologists to correct my remarks. I have but passing interest!

> The posix filesystem just doesn't have the abstractions/expressiveness one would need to build a robust security perimeter between untrusted apps.

This, absolutely, but I think it's even worse than that; in my mind the value prop of k8s is twofold: declarative configuration and isolation that forces apps to be able to interact over a very small boundary, the network overlay.

That's a very strong cluster of population loss in Eastern Europe and the Baltics.

Hashed time wheels: https://blog.acolyer.org/2015/11/23/hashed-and-hierarchical-...

Great for short-lived values in a cache that are frequently accessed. If all of your values always have the same expiration period (i.e. expires at insert time + N period) then it's super efficient.

More or less you have an array with a head and tail. Every "tick" (usually each second but you can customize it) you move the read pointer ahead by 1 array slot. The tail is then evicted.

If you have a highly accessed part of your code, you can be lazy and avoid using an extra thread and just tick ahead the read pointer when the time changes.
They probably could add some case temperature sensors and throttle once the case gets hot enough.

Would still gain a lot of performance; outside of benchmarks most people don’t run their computers hard enough to need full boost for minutes at a time.
This is what happens everywhere with any real airline. Wizzair and other low cost airlines are of couse bound by the same consumer protection laws, but they prey on their uneducated clientele who doesn't know their own rights so they don't know they can complain.

Of course even if you know, and you complain, they will make your life miserable.

With Things like these, plus all the dark patterns and scams regarding luggage, check-in, etc, I don't know why anyone would ever fly low cost.
