I thought this too but these holes don't look very engineered. They look random or organic.

That said, this would be an interesting way to create an 'existence proof' of technological capability and presence if there was something about the holes that permitted ruling out animals or other natural phenomena.
Everybody agrees Jaynes was wrong.

I asked a classical-greek scholar about his linguistic observations. He read the book, and then said there was no pattern such as Jaynes had perceived. The perception was probably a product of confirmation bias.

But the questions Jaynes raised have not been answered. So, the book is still worth talking about.

(BTW, I could not see a way to get the text of the paper. Sci-hub was no help. Clue?)
Jerry and Guido? I think the conversation might be less interesting than you might hope for. SICP is 1984, almost four decades ago now.

If you wanted to talk about robust programming, quantum gravity, differential geometry, education, or a slew of other topics....

As a footnote, I love Python, but someone like Jerry outclasses Guido intellectually. Guido really only did one thing, which is Python. Jerry has done dozens of things.

I remember the dude and remembered him mentioning trouble with his wife and kid.

How can a parent take a kid out of the country without the consent of the other parent without it being categorized as kidnapping. Being that the kid is an American citizen can't the U.S. system get Japan to send this kid back(if the mother is only Japanese and not the kid).
Didn't America extradite the Americans involved in Ghosen's escape? So they should have agreements this such legal matters to no?

P.s. I really didn't agree with American extraditing it's citizen in Goshen's case.
This is the crazy delusional thinking that dooms us all.

I’m not afraid of the CCP. I will possibly never go to China. I’d shit my pants if the NSA, CIA, or DIA were interested in me and gathering all data on me.

I can’t imagine China or CCP being a danger to 95%+ of westerners. While the vast majority should be weary to some degree of their own security and defense apparatuses having too much data on them.
If I earn a dollar and don't spend it, it results in a lower GDP than if I spent it. Thus income can not be treated as equivalent to GDP.

Given the irregular distance between holes and the different angles of the holes, I'd guess something organic. There's still a lot we don't know about even well known fish like sharks, what to talk of fish or marine life that we have yet to discover. Seeing the raised ridge along the entire set of holes makes me wonder if they're from some kind of eggs that hatched after being embedded in the seabed.

It's amazing that there are still so many mysteries like this on Earth.
Again, who's actually using it? All I see is Salesforce and two no name companies. It's supported by Netlify which is something, but I wouldn't say "hard hitting companies". Netflix and Amazon are hard hitting.

I believe all scientific publishing should be open access, but it doesn't address the fundamental problem with scientific publishing - there just just too much of it!

Due to the well known pressures of academia, and of CV writers everywhere, we live in a world where many people (apparently) work on hundreds or thousands of papers; in a world of "minimum publishable work"; in a world where every Masters and PhD is expected to have published. And the vast majority of those papers are almost pointless, low quality, and/or almost content free! (I admit my own publications into that majority.)

There is no way that any human is genuinely across all the literature of their field. And the situation is getting worse and worse, rapidly.

I don't know how we'd do it, but perhaps we could move towards a situation where we have (say) "papers" and "notes" - where "papers" are very high quality and published only when something big and important comes up, and where "notes" are used to record everything else. Someone new to the field, or looking for anything important, need be familiar with (only) a few hundred papers; and all those "new technique", "minor variation", "new species", "confirmation", and "we did stuff" publications would be "notes". Of course, this would depend on a truly scathing response when anyone puts forward low quality "papers".

PS. It was once that case that publications divided along similar lines as journal papers and conference papers. No longer seems so much the case.
I think this was very likely the case. It has the feel of a magic trick —- intentionally drawing your attention to one particular point so you don’t see what they don’t want you to.
A few years ago I worked on a service that had to stream data out using protobuf messages, in a single request that could potentially transfer several gigabytes of data. At the HTTP level it was chunked, but above that I used a protobuf message that contained data plus a checksum of that data, with the last message of the stream containing no data but a checksum of the entire dataset (a flag was included to differentiate between the message types).

This simple design led us to find several bugs in clients of this API (e.g. messages dropped or processed twice), and gave us a way to avoid some of the issues mentioned in this article. Even if you don't use HTTP trailers, you can still use them one layer above and benefit from similar guarantees.
Type 2 diabetics get fat because of the insulin injections they are using. Not because they are eating more or are more lazy than the average person. The real solution for Type 2 diabetics is a low-carb diet. Doctors in the US, UK, and Australia routinely reverse Type 2 diabetics for their patients using low-carb diets.

> Whether it’s because I was wrong, or failed to make the argument [for HTTP trailers support], I strongly suspect organizational boundaries had a substantial effect. The Area Tech Leads of Cloud also failed to convince their peers in Chrome, and as a result, trailers were ripped out [from the WHATWG fetch specification].

FWIW, I personally think it's a good thing that other teams within Google don't have too much of an "advantage" for getting features into Chrome, compared to other web developers, however, I also think it's very unfortunate that a single Chrome engineer gets to decide not only that it shouldn't be implemented in Chromium, but that that also has the effect of it being removed from the specification. (The linked issue [1] was also opened by a Google employee.)

Of course, you might reasonably argue that, without consensus among the browsers to implement a feature, having it in the spec is useless. But nevertheless, with Chromium being an open source project, I think it would be better if it had a more democratic process of deciding which features should be supported (without, of course, requiring Google specifically to implement them, but also without, ideally, giving Google the power to veto them).

Thank you for sharing. I listened to a wonderful poem linked below. The author wrote it for his son when he turned 12. On a sad and tangential note, years after this poem was published, he “pulled strings” to get his son to serve in WW1. His son died and he later wrote: “If any question why we died / Tell them that our fathers lied.”

It’s more complicated than that. If you don’t keep your insulin low then you literally can’t loose fat no matter how little calories you eat. The body will simply down regulate your energy expenditure to match your calorie intake if it can’t access your body fat. So you will be colder, have less energy, be more tired etc.
> But Gaiman turned everything goth, maybe a little steampunk

Have you read the comic? It’s very, very goth and steampunk.

As for “there are only gay blank women” point… what? There are like three black women in the show for more than an episode or two that I can think of.

The main character is a god played by a white guy, the main antagonist is a non-human nightmare played by a white guy, the secondary antagonist (ruby guy) is a white guy, his mom is a notedly straight white woman, Constantine is a write woman, Lucifer is a white woman, and while Stephen Fry may be gay in real life, his character doesn’t really have a sexuality.

Aside from Rose Walker, the majority of people that move the story forward are white folks.

Sure, if you don't hit any of its error paths it is fairly happy. A really easy way to watch Linux go down in flames is to use kmem accounting (which is enabled by default) and a cgroup with a low memory limit (say, 48MB) and then inside that cgroup do something that exercises the kernel a lot, like walk a filesystem.

I did what you are doing for years and finally switched to a low-carb diet instead. It works much better for me. I still eat 200g spinach and 150g broccoli a day to get the vitamins I need. It tastes excellent when fried in butter with lots of spices and eggs/meat. I instantly lost 7kg and 9cm around my waist eating the same amount of calories. And my blood results are “superb” according to my doctor. I recommend the “low carb down under” YouTube channel for the science talks.

That itself has issues. If you're in a minority/ostracized group inequality is made worse by the fact you can't secure a loan for a house/car. Also people who are generally more outgoing/social (ie. more likely to be chummy with the local loan officer) get better loans, which is also unfair.

Access to courts. If my previous employer prevents me from getting a job, then (depending on circumstances) I may be able to collect damages from them. For that reason, former employers are usually reticent about what they say. Now if a third-party provides that information and I don't even know about it, then that's an even greater encroachment on my rights.

> The author convinced they're needed. But I wonder if some sort of error signaling should have been baked into `Transfer-Encoding: chunked` instead. It wouldn't have made sense in HTTP/1.1 since you can just close the connection. But in later HTTP versions with pipelined requests, I can see the use for bailing on one request while keeping the rest alive.

It did not to me.

I would rephrase the argumentation as:

- In HTTP/2 we thought to be smart by multiplexing multiple HTTP transactions over a single TCP connection.

- Shit we realized later that HTTP/1.1 did not necessitate trailers because they could abort the connection and we can not afford to do that anymore, we are multiplexed now.... Shit, we do need trailers now.

->

- That is currently a good example of good intentions inducing complexity. And complexity inducing even more complexity for free.

- HTTP/2 is now rolled over the world and everybody has to deal with that

- Still HTTP/2 suffers of several problems completely ignored by the blog post (Like the Head-of-Line blocking problem: it is not solved in HTTP/2). The result is now QUIC + HTTP/3 and we all start over again.
I don’t know why but the veracity of Jaynes’ hypothesis was never important to me. It’s such a creative and extraordinary leap. It challenged me to think critically about assumptions I might make about our humanity and its history, kinda like a great sci-fi novel.
Wondering or worrying about it is one thing. Claiming we're already above safe levels with no evidence is different.
Wow this is the best endorsement for the app. I have been afraid to use Tiktok because I probably won’t like much and I’d get tired of swiping quickly after some time.

I know you focus on terrestrial carbon, but what are your thoughts (if any) on sequestration via ocean kelp farming? It appears to beat out forests at rate of growth / drawdown, and there's quite a lot of "unused" area to establish. Like regrowing terrestrial forests, there are many known benefits to local ecosystems from kelp forests - which hopefully can balance out the relative unknowns of mass growth. Nutrient feeding via upwelling in deeper oceans seems viable to feed even very large operations, though I personally don't know what impacts redirecting those nutrient flows might have and I'm not sure anyone does (though I'm inclined to say that shouldn't be a dealbreaker). From what I've seen of the economics, if the crop is harvested (around 10%) for fuel and plastic manufacturing a sequestration farm can be self-sustaining financially.
When I'm feeling moody, I sometimes think that no human is sentient by themselves: we are only sentient (conscious?) as a group; and, specifically, as a group we're "supersentient" with a shared "IQ" in the hundreds, or higher. When you're alone, your sentience (and consciousness) will continue on residually — perhaps decaying over time; possibly for the remainder of your life, but you stop being truly sentient.

You clearly misunderstand what income is then.

If you receive an income, someone had to spend money (in this case your employer). So it does in fact contribute to GDP, as your employer spent money buying your service/finished work.

So income you received already contributed to GDP, even if it just sits in your bank account. Now if you go onto spend it, it will further increase GDP, as you spending it will yield an income for someone else. If you leave it in the bank account, it will not further increase GDP, as it won't yield anyone an income.

Additionally, when a US citizen buys a Chinese good, it does in fact contribute to GDP - namely China's GDP.

If it's not clear to you by now, GDP is almost the same exact thing as money velocity, just divide it by the money supply and you have the velocity of money.

If you don't believe me, look around you:

- Gmail? Goes easily to >300 MB of RAM usage when doing nothing

- Android apps? You can barely have 2 calculator apps active at the same time, on a 8 cores, 8GB ram device. The own Google "sms app" takes "180 MB" of storage...

Just as a point of comparison, in the 80's when gethostbyname was created, supercomputer were at most capable of having CPU of 200MHz.

But still, software quality did not follow the same trend.
From my perspective, I think the biggest issue with gRPC is it using HTTP/2. I understand that there’s a lot of reasons to say “No, HTTP/2 is far superior to HTTP/1.1.” However, in terms of proxying _outside Google_ HTTP/2 has lagged, and continues to lags at the L7 proxy layer. I recently performed a lot of high-throughput proxying comparing HAProxy, Traefik, and Envoy. HTTP/1.1 outperformed HTTP/2 (even H2C) by a pretty fair margin. Enough that if gRPC used HTTP/1.1 we could use noticeably less hardware. I could see this holding true even with a service mesh.

This is a solved problem, as it comes up in situations such as CEO bonuses, sports betting, and prediction markets. You either specify the definition in the bonus (eg: according to the FBI's UCR data definitions as of 2019) or you delegate an arbitrator (eg: the GAO). If this weren't solvable then the world would look very different. CEOs and acquired companies would never have compensation tied to target metrics. Sports betting would be rife with lawsuits and fraud. And economic metrics would be as accurate as those claimed by the Soviet Union.

There are many mappings from the English word “average” to maths: arithmetic mean, median, geometric and harmonic means. We could be here all day.

But “median is better than arithmetic mean for knowing if a lot of people are struggling” should be uncontroversial.

We’ve rigged up a system that is a race to the bottom on wealth inequality. People have tried to run systems like this before and it always ends in tears.

The interesting question isn’t how to parse the maths, or even if we have a bad, bad problem. The question is, can we and/or will we do something about it soon enough that Western civilization lasts for climate change or whatever to even matter. Because we’re on pace to get into tennis courts and guillotines before much if any of Manhattan is below the water line.

Trypophobia. I won't link to Wikipedia, if such a thing bothers you I'm not going to try to trigger it.
The reason is obvious: carbohydrates are addictive. The more you eat them the more you want to eat them. Brain scans show that carbs gives you the same kind of pleasure that other addictions gives you. To maximise the addition even more, you mix carbs, fat, and salt. The food industry knows this and does everything it can to turn consumers into addicts of their products. They have succeeded spectacularly.
"trypophobia" ("fear of holes") is a phenomenon where some people find similar patterns to that disturbing or repellant, might be the same thing. Of course Googling that will give you lots of similar images that you might find similarly repellant.
