Thanks for the link. Interesting conversations and anecdotes.

Don’t worry about the fact that you don’t understand anything. Just keep trying to get results. If you focus on getting results, the understanding will come to you naturally. It’s how I learned ML.

Watching presentations is nice, but tinkering with working code is so much nicer. It’s no surprise you came away feeling like you don’t actually know what you thought you knew — the only way to understand it is to go get some experience.

Also don’t worry that it takes a long time to understand something. This stuff is inherently hard. (My answer to your post is “Yes, of course I feel that way too! I don’t understand a damn thing in most presentations till I go code it myself.” So don’t feel alone!)
Honestly, I never quite understood the point of generating the makefiles: if you have a tool that knows where the inputs are, where the outputs should be, and tracks the dependencies changing from build to build (something that "make" famously struggles to do), then surely that tool can also run whatever compilers/linkers/etc. are needed?

I guess you can commit the generated makefile into your repo so that those who want to build your project from sources don't need your custom build tool installed, only make...
I think the issue arises when a public persona is attached to the work, taking it from the realm of art to performance. I doubt most people would react the same to a fictional autobiography from a reclusive author a la J.D. Salinger like they did to authors like James Frey who went on Oprah to promote A Million Little Pieces. From the first few paragraphs of the TFA it sounds like Beatrice Sparks likewise attached the fiction to herself publicly through her lectures and self help work or whatever.

It's like designing a fake medical license in Photoshop and printing it out: it doesn't really matter to anyone unless you actually try to use it to treat people in the real world.
Disclaimer: I worked for a payment processor that handled a large portion of adult site traffic.

Payment processors categorize porn sites as a high-risk businesses because of the higher likelihood of chargebacks from customers who spot such a transaction on their statement. The processing, upfront, and recurring fees are higher than normal merchants to factor in this risk, and one or more card networks have explicit rules on which content is acceptable for purchase (guided mostly by laws against bestiality and the scenarios in which urine and feces are presented).
FWIW, GitLab has an entirely OSS community edition, and you can run the enterprise edition just without licenses - I do this personally.

You have to run your own CI runners, but if you can self-host GitLab that ought to be no problem ;)

I agree though, it's very resource heavy - my personal instance has 8G RAM and 4 vCPUs and only two people use it. It has that much RAM because without it, it would randomly fail (usually during/after package upgrades).
COVID-19, and in particular New Zealand PM Jacinda Ardern's response during the early days of the pandemic, has made me rethink the idea of absolute freedom and a constitutional federated republic. Over a million Americans are dead now because of some combination of "muh freedoms", "the economy", and "that's really a state issue, there's nothing we can do at the federal level". In contrast, Ardern was like no, I am the most powerful person in this country and I say you're all going on strict lockdown. And how many Kiwis died? Like a few hundred? Of course most of those deaths have been since the NZ government relaxed restrictions and "let the plague ships back in" as Aurynn Shaw put it.

The government can do whatever it wants to you because it's the government. This is true even in the USA. They can spy on you, lie to you, set you up to take the fall for a crime you didn't commit. Obviously these are bad things, but my point is the government has near-infinite resources and ultimate authority among the people; appeals to limit government power through constitutionalism and republicanism obviously aren't going to work very well, even in the most constitutional-republic-ass country on the planet, the USA. So the only question is, how do we ensure, to the maximum extent possible, that government's absolute, sovereign power is applied to the greater good?
Can you share some of these studies? I just don’t understand how you can power a grid at night with just wind and solar (no batteries). Even the US isn’t large enough that sun would always be shining somewhere.

Kubernetes is kind of stable except for the relentless deprecation and introduction of features. I.e. ingress going from v1beta1 to v1 and dropping any support for the v1beta1 defs, service accounts no longer having tokens associated with it, etc.

It really makes for a constant churn where there's a good change something breaks if you update kubernetes. Either that or you pick a version and stick with it for 2 years while it's supported and then jump to the new one and fix all the breakage.
I’ve moved over twenty times in my life, countries over ten, I know exactly how difficult it is. Which is to say: yes it’s a big step, but no it’s not that big a deal.

And again, this isn’t what this little interaction was about, and you’re making assumptions about the person I replied to. I am not forcing them to move, jeez.

Is the outcome ever a refusal to classify them at all though?

Hey, creator of Fornjot here. I had experimented with f-rep for years before switching to b-rep for the current iteration of Fornjot. I came to the conclusion that f-rep, while neat, is too limited for what I intend to do. I came to a similar conclusion regarding the mesh-based approach of CGAL.

I've written more about that here: https://www.fornjot.app/blog/why-fornjot-is-using-boundary-r...
I'd be interested in the backstory to this. (Like everyone else I guess)

Seems like I dodged a bullet. I was looking at this a few months ago. Decided to play with love2d instead. Did a few projects in it. Then I got into unreal engine. A further distraction via cryengine used up the remainder of my time. I was about to get into the machinery in September.

Wow. Godot was to be October. So yeah. Bring that forwards.

That EULA is likely a bad idea in general. It's also most likely against the law in some jurisdictions. The backstory would be of interest mainly for probably avoiding these Devs in future if there wasn't a good reason for the debacle. Sour taste all round.
Ahhh, the combination of options that led to CMTS allowing client->CMTS->client connection is what I alluded to with "ethernet emulation" (I bet it also made sense for some setups). Great to see some more detail.

BTW, I seem to recall that at least in early 2000s it was kinda popular to hack TFTP servers providing CM configuration files, to somehow change speeds available - was that really doable, or did retelling mangle the details?
Something i dont see here is the simple fact that not everyone can get it legally.
I'm from small country in europe and netflix for example is here from 5 or so years, before that if you want a movie there is a really big chance that movie to not be on local market on DVD (VHS before that) so your only option is pirating.
Same goes for software and games, sometimes you cant get that from store.

Sometimes these DVDs have some nasty DRM even if you buy it from other country you cant watch it, so again, pirating is the only option millions of people have.
I was chekcing the wikipedia and...

Audacious began as a fork of Beep Media Player, which itself is a fork of XMMS.[...] Before version 3.0, Audacious used the GTK 2.x toolkit by default. Partial support for GTK3 was added in version 2.5,and Audacious 3.0 has full support for GTK3 and uses it by default. However, dissatisfied with the evolution of GTK3, the Audacious team chose to revert to GTK2 starting with the 3.6 release, with long-term plans of porting to Qt. Since August 8, 2018, the official website has HTTPS enabled site-wide and GTK3 support was dropped completely. As version 4.0, Audacious is using Qt as its primary toolkit but the GTK 2.x support is still available.

That's quite a development trip!
Or: people can live in places actually suitable to comfortable human habitation (there's nothing wrong with Michigan or Pennsylvania, as far as places to live go) and put up with the sky being gray 40 percent of the time, and those who legitimately want to live in deserts can put up with not having lawns and golf courses.

We also probably shouldn't be growing water-intensive crops in places that don't have water, nor eating ourselves into an early grave but eating twice as much red meat (which is far more water-intensive than the overly vilified almond) as we should be.
I also do that but when I know I won't come back later for it. I use my history as shortcuts, so I avoid cluttering it with random word lookups.
There exists no American city with a robust public transportation network, they are all very flawed and dragged down by car first infrastructure. Countries with robust public transportation networks exist only in Europe and Asia. Even then, Switzerland and Japan are the only examples where the quality of public transport is taken seriously by the government and the people. Otherwise it’s there but really lacks the funding needed for it to do the job it should be doing.

Contrast that with the car infra and entire countries will flip over backwards trying to maintain an unsustainable and unviable system, AKA burning money for no benefit to anyone, even in the short term.
It's worth noting that merely "causing major economic loss" is not an offence in itself, it's just an aggravating factor for other offences.
I recall an article here criticizing the payment processors for having too much power by censoring content. The crowd here took the usual libertarian stance of this control being a bad idea. But it seems reasonable to also support the rights of companies to do whatever they want when it's to avoid and even small risk of criminal liability.

Most transit (in the US at least) is buses. If you can have buses arriving every 5 minutes, it’s night and day from every 15 or especially every 30. I don’t think issue if overlapping lines applies to buses.

In SF, reaction to pandemic ridership decline was to decrease frequency of most transit. This also unfortunately makes transit less appealing :(

> Transit is a very complicated prediction / optimization problem.

It also depends what you’re optimizing for - is the goal to increase total users of system? Ensure there aren’t empty trains / buses? Have ridership “pay for” operations?

Because having your light rail continue into late night even if sparsely used means people can rely on it as an option. Frequent bus routes even on lesser used routes still can make the overall system more likely to be used.
Code-first CAD is the way to go for some users and some use cases. I personally won't make any stronger claim than that, nor will I accept any sweeping claims to the opposite.

Is it possible to mathematically represent this type of relationship of multiple input values on the final output value? If yes, then what field of mathematics does this fall under?

most likely what you are looking for, falls broadly under the topic of linear algebra. if you are trying to optimize f.e. production of n-quantities each of which has a cost c[i] and profit p[i] and a bunch of other linear constraints, you probably are looking at simplex optimization (which falls under the topic operations-research).

Relatedly, PolitiFact has partnered up with Facebook to “combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed”. They’ve recently flagged a video that used an online dictionary definition of “recession”:

https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2022/jul/27/instagram-...

Whether or not the U.S. is actually in a recession might still be up for debate. But I’d argue that it’s pretty clear what’s happening to the credibility of online “fact-checking” sources.

> UK: 43.1% of all power was from renewables in 2020

Yet my UK electricity cost is tracking the price of gas - up ~3x.
This is an interesting example.

It would take a seriously deranged person to subject Auschwitz' commandant to what he subjected his prisoners. Unless you advocate applying all sorts of barbaric acts of torture on him, you are not really pushing the "you get what you give" credo. There is some level of odious behaviour that we all are unwilling to justify.

I don't think it's fair to characterise this as "deserving mercy".
American outlets and plugs are barely usable. They go live even when you don't completely plug them in, yet.

The British plug is a pretty decent design from an electrical safety point of view. (However, they turn into caltrops in the dark.)

I think it is backwards. "Conservative" and "Liberal" are just labels, used in the context of traditional two party politics, and it is mostly a result of what happens naturally when you split the population into two similar sized groups based on their political ideas. One candidate will target "liberals", the other "conservatives". The definition isn't fixed, conservative ideas become liberal and vice versa all the time in order to maintain the roughly half/half two party system. There is no conspiracy here, it is emergent behavior that is seen in most democracies.

There are similar phenomena in marketing, which is not surprising since politics and marketing are essentially the same thing, but it doesn't mean the categories are the same. The Prius is not a "conservative", "woman", "white", "middle-aged" or whatever automobile, though there may be some correlations. In reality it is an automobile for Prius customers, and what Prius marketing thinks their potential customers are.
They are correct about this bit, but not the wider conclusion.

Months long storage of electricity is uneconomic compared with alternatives.

Which is a shame for nuclear, as it would really benefit from it if you could just build enough for the average demand and run then 100% of the time.

Instead, flexible demand is much cheaper. So you overbuild the nuclear and modulate the demand for making green hydrogen and ammonia and store that. Much cheaper than long term storage. Note we don't use that to generate electricity, but for chemical feedstocks. Again, cheaper to overgenerate with nuclear.

However, now that you have overbuild and responsive demand in the equation there is no advantage of nuclear over renewables, which are much cheaper to build for the same capacity.
Are you aware that the first step in building linux kernel is literally bootstrapping a custom build system that just happens to generate makefiles (if not just "mostly make compatible" files - I got crosseyed recently trying to find if kbuild didn't try to run them as well)

Linux kernel provides "makefile" as interface for you, but it's mostly compiled from a custom KBuild system.

Any idea how to get rid of vicious cycles?

I like letting my mind wander, but often I hit unpleasent thoughts and it throws me off.
This is backwards. Most people don't appreciate how important hoofed animals are for the ecology and how efficient they are in terms of caloric production. There are some issues with mass industrial animal husbandry as currently practiced, but if you want long-term sustainability, the mass industrial farming of the Midwest with soybeans and corn has to stop and be replaced with bison or cattle grazing before soil depletion is too far advanced.

Trying to end meat consumption is going to result in a Great Leap Forward-type disaster. We need to be looking at the ecology holistically and try to work with nature and the sustainable processes that generated what we have now, not burn it all down we can grow more of what's short-term efficient on spreadsheets for one single dimension.
I quite enjoy minisearch[1] which is also 0 dependencies, actively maintained, and I expect would work well in a worker environment. I dropped it into a service worker and plugged it with a simple point in polygon script to enable geosearch for a recent project[2] and it played v. nicely.

Plastic pipes have a really bad reputation for joint failures in the construction industry in the UK. I’ve heard of whole commercial buildings having plastic pipes fail all over the place during commissioning resulting in the whole lot getting stripped out and replaced with copper. I always specify copper piping because it’s a lower risk for me.
I use Nix for the advantages it provides, and use other package managers (homebrew, etc.) for things that are not available in nixpkgs.

> That baseload myth is dead these days. Batteries are merely one way to store energy but they’re not the only way.

How is it a myth? Weather systems are big. it is not unusual for eg. the entirety of North-western Europe to have a calm spell of little to no wind. You need something to keep the lights on when there's no wind, night time etc. That's your base load right there.

> And all of this is already working in parts of the world. For example in the EU where all that green and brown energy from Germany is saving Nuclear-Frances ass at the moment and has been every summer and winter for at least the last decade.

Pointing to a bunch of german coal plants keeping the lights on is not a great argument. Germany has a very polluting "base load" generation capability in comparison to other countries. imagine how much less carbon they would be emitting right now if they had just kept their nuclear plants going.

Renewables cannot get rid of a need for base load generation capability at 100% of demand. Batteries and storage just aren't going to scale up to do that (or even 1% of it) in this century. So the options are - handwave about batteries and pumped storage, ensuring that coal and gas is what actually used to meet base load, or invest in nuclear. If you actually want low carbon electricity generation, nuclear is the only option.
I think the issue with Gitlab resource usage isn't the application itself, but the sheer complexity of Gitlab and the amount of services needed to run the whole thing. It even starts Prometheus and Grafana and stuff like that.

I'd love to have a backyard big enough for that.

The only problems I would have with it being in my hypothetical back yard would be other people thinking it was dangerous, leading to an urban decay cycle (this also applies to property with unlucky numbers, like 13 in the anglosphere), and/or lots of protesters and/or would-be terrorists not realising how deep the stuff is buried nor now hard it is to shift a multi-ton concrete-filled steel barrel.

"Green hydrogen" is probably the least efficient form of energy storage talked about. The only reason it gets talked about at all is again, PR - because gas companies are keen on extending the life of their rather expensive capital investments. It's currently in the hypothetical stage and, being realistic, the gas companies promoting it probably just want to produce grey hydrogen for use with "green hydrogen" infrastructure and string us along with false hopes that theyll go 100% green soon. Not an unexpected development from the same people who covered up global warming for decades.

Pumped storage + (to a lesser extent) grid scale batteries (e.g. in hawaii) are actually real, being used and economic. The lobbying and PR muscle behind each is a bit less though - especially boring old pumped storage.

>Demand shaping + solar + wind + storage is not economical viable in Northen Europe

It very much is. It's already being done. In fact a lot of that storage in the alps has been used for excess nuclear power from France.
I will remain cautious until any of these use mainstream kernel and kernel modules/drivers.
Not only is the waste a problem, we haven't found an adequate solution for in almost 70 years, but, again, the issue with nuclear is the amount of resources available. There simply isn't enough fissile material out there to make an impact on climate change.
