How about an indication of the opposite? Since you stated that smart people "are better at answering all of the questions you listed".

You seem to have completely missed the point of my comment though, which is that the questions are not well-defined and therefore it's not obvious what 'the better answer' is.
They are there because they choose to be there. Which is fine, but it's a bit like that Eric André meme[0] to choose to live in an expensive metro then complain that the metro is too expensive to live in.

This is... probably making the clients very happy! Good for them! Wonder if the clients' shareholders would feel the same way, though.
I don't understand why so many people are saying this. The article specifically says at the begging:

"When these conflicts arise, here are some things that might be happening"

SOME and MIGHT are being completely ignored and replaced with absolutes by many commenters. At no point does it claim to be an exhaustive list of every possible single interaction, nor does it say that there are no other explanations.

If anything, these kinds of reactions are proving the point that the Autistic are being misinterpreted (or in this case completely misrepresented).
I'll paraphrase something I once heard, -- "There are two types of Rust programmers: 1) Functional programmers who want to go fast/er, and 2) those that want to type check their assembly." This is an article for type 2).

Except knives aren't banned. It's just if you're stopped and have one with a blade over a certain length (an inch?) You can be required to give a reason why you're carrying it.

I don't doubt there's instances of this being abused, but it does seem useful to be able to do something if someone's carrying a knife and you have a reasonable suspicion.
Have they said they are going to publish the trained model? So far they are going the exact route as OpenAI (closed beta access with similar prompt content policy).
I'm trying hard to be precise, but I could always do better.

MOND the physical hypothesis is perfectly good science, whether it turns out to match reality or not. My issue is with MOND the meme, the complex of beliefs among non-physicists (like me) that MOND explains "dark matter"[0] without matter which is dark, whose fitness isn't really based on the success of MOND-the-model.

I say MOND-the-meme is pseudoskeptical because it a) manufactures disbelief by misrepresenting a subject and then b) provides a "skeptical" alternative in order to appeal to skeptics which c) does not itself stand up to skepticism because (a) was a strawman and (b) was motivated reasoning. It survives because it makes you feel smart, not because it's sound or valid or the MOND hypothesis is true.

Accepting MOND-the-meme would still be problematic even if the MOND hypothesis was overwhelmingly confirmed tomorrow.

Do you think experience holds better the lower you go down the stack?
Part of my frustration with web development - especially front end, is knowledge decays very fast there. I'm fine with learning new stuff but relearning the same thing all the time and losing my edge is a big annoyance.
So part of my wanting to move lower down the stack is my belief that my knowledge and experience will hold up better there. So I'm considering either that or moving to backend work writing something like Java which I also perceive to be a very good investment. .
As a Florida resident, the florida situation is screwed but not because of hurricanes and flood risks.

The problem is our laws about assignment of benefits and how insurance lawsuits get punished. So what happens is anytime any storm comes in you get swarmed with roofing companies wanting you to assign all benefits to them and they offer you a "free" roof. They then keep telling the roofing companies their previous estimate for roof was too low and they needed more money to fix the roof. At the end of the day the insurance companies end up paying double the cost of the roof because that's cheaper then the roofing company suing them, having to prove the costs they are being quoted are excessive, and if they fail they have to pay it out anyway + attorney fees.

We saw this ourselves when we had a hail storm at our house and didn't know any better. We did the AOB to a roofing company. That company never even looked at the roof. They called the insurance company, who sent an adjuster who looked at the roof. The insurance company wrote us a $15k check for a replacement roof. 3 months later (when the roofing company hadn't even looked at our roof still, let alone given us an estimate) we get a notification from the insurance company that the roofing company told the insurance company it would cost an additional $8k, and the insurance company wrote them a check.

We cancelled the roofing contract and shopped around. Got our new roof replaced within a month for $13k (we had 3 quotes from different companies, no company quoted more than $14k).

This is why insurance is going up so much in Florida, and why insurance companies are leaving the state. Last I saw, Florida leads the country in insurance litigation cases per year by a ridiculously wide margin to the 2nd highest.

And I'm not an insurance company defender or anything, but all home owners and renters in florida are all paying the price for this.

I understand and empathize with your angle. But it is important to know -- nobody likes being patronized. Whether it is actually happening, or only perceived to be happening, this is a universal truth of social interactions. The vast majority of people in all social settings -- professional or otherwise -- will not collaborate with someone who is patronizing unless forced, even if it will be mutually beneficial. This is something you cannot change.

Deflation can occur; it's rare, but it's not a never scenario.
Depending on how close they are he could run cables (ethernet) or fiber. Single mode fiber can go 10km according to some Ubiquiti spec sheets I found on google. Ubiquiti also sells AirMax products that can do PTP or PTMP over the air, although some will be affected by rain. They could even rent space from a radio/cell tower. There are probably a decent amount of other products out there I am only familiar with Ubiquiti.

I want to criticize Google Fiber, but I will give them this: they proved gigabit internet was completely possible to offer to consumers directly to the home, inexpensively. They proved there was demand for it, that there was a potential business here.

Yesterday, I had a 1.5Gbps fiber internet installed in my home- not by Google, of course, but by someone who copied their model.

I think that was the point all along. Move everyone forward on this. Force every other ISP to stop resting on their laurels and get to work pushing the boundaries.

Unrelated: the bottleneck on my bandwidth is, for the first time in my life, between my computer and the modem rather than between my modem and the internet. It's 30,000 times faster than my 56k dial-up was in the 90s. This is pretty neat.

It doesn't. It implements a new way of decoding the logits which improves performance by a relative 16% over the previously best German speech recognition, which was Facebook's wav2vec2.

And the size is relevant to people in the industry because DeepSpeech uses 2000+ LOCs for implementing their decoding, so this works better and is 10x less code.

>When I know something is true, I tend to only state it once, because why would I need to repeat it. I am starting to realize this doesn’t work out that well :)

The point I'm making is that you didn't state this once. You kind of stated it in the first paragraph, but not in a way that implies that you can be wrong for reasons that aren't miscommunications.

>For me, it’s patently evident that I’m wrong about 90% of the time when discussing facts.

I think that's the part that wasn't clear from the article. When you title an article "Autistic people can't acknowledge when they're wrong," then spend an article talking about how this is due to misunderstandings, it comes across like the exact rationalizations that your article strikes back against.
> What are the actual metrics they use to measure inflation?

The long answer is here: https://www.bls.gov/opub/hom/cpi/home.htm

The short answer is, the BLS samples prices of many consumer products in various categories (some from direct observation, some from consumer surveys) and calculates a weighted average[1] of the prices. The result is the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The consumer price inflation is calculated as the percentage difference of the current CPI compared to twelve months ago.

Frameworks like Gatsby didnt have any special support for interactive islands. You can choose to have:

a. A completely static site with no frontend javascript and no client side hydration, or

b. client hydration in which case all the components needed in the page will need to be loaded in the client.

If you want something in between, ie. only some sections need to be interactive, it requires jumping through some hoops eg. creating separate webpack entrypoints that call ReactDOM.render for specific DOM nodes. It is doable but more work and maintenance effort.

Astro simplifies handling for these kind of islands by using a server side templating language that is component aware and familiar to users already writing jsx.
At the T1 level it's more completely a mesh type setup, but even lower tier ISPs might set up peering agreements to bypass their main higher tier ISP where it makes sense for cost or service quality reasons.

No it's not. You could describe Elixir, with a lot of caveats, as a "ruby-fied Erlang" because a lot of the niceties are there. It's faster than Ruby, but it's totally not Ruby.

Perhaps the "faster ruby" moniker could be arguably assigned to Crystal.
The context here was gas stations, not oil companies.

The oil companies, as well, would only be slow-walking physical gasoline in hope of future price increases or, for refineries, cheaper inputs. Otherwise, they're missing out on profits by not selling it at current prices.
When you split up into smaller jobs, you have to design them to work in face of retries and parallel execution. It's a bit of complexity, but the end result is a scalable and self-healing system, that can handle lives code updates, features which contribute to make the full workflow inherently reliable and scalable.

If you have a big >1h job you have to add locks, make sure deploys don't interrupt the job, handle retries of the whole job, maintain serverless + not serverless, and then inevitably rewrite the whole thing when it takes too long to be viable. All in all a lot of work and complexity as well that is wasted on making a bad design work.
>> the color field forms a flux tube of gluons between the two particles,

> lost me, you just switched lanes into back to the future speak

The way I interpreted this was that the interaction happens over a line beam (rather than a spherical surface) so it doesn't drop off as 1/r^2, but as 1 (i.e. constant). Which raised more questions for me (and made me wonder what the MOND case is), but I'm still digesting the comment.
This seems like a fun project to work on but what is the financial game here? Does he invest in building the network, operate at a loss and then sell to someone like Comcast? I assume building a remote fiber network that can reach 600 houses has to incur huge CapEx (way more than $2.6M right?) and at $50/mo a very long payback period.

However it works, pretty awesome project, kudos.

It sounds like your application is I/O bound. That's an ideal use case for threads because the GIL is not held during I/O, so threads allow you to multiplex across lots of connections.

I have a gunicorn server that's part of an internal processing pipeline. It receives an HTTP post from a Java client, grabs some files from S3, caches them to disk, does some processing on the POST and returns a reply. It spends most of its time blocked on I/O. I run it with 1000 threads per process no problem because that's what the Java side's thread-count is set to.

I also have a related server that receivs HTTP POSTs from millions of clients all over the Internet via an AWS ALB. For each POST, it validates the data, splits the POST into three files that are each written to S3 and adds an event to SQS. For this application, I used Falcon and gevent which has me I/O bound. I tested it with threads but that ended up being CPU bound. I also tested with pypy but again, that ended up CPU bound. Gevent got me the best concurrency.

Anyway, unless you've tested you can't just assume the GIL will be a problem. I've been writing Python for two decades using it in a variety of applications and I can count on one hand the number of times the GIL has been an issue.
I would be interested in a longer version of the post if it is something you are considering making available.

> There is no attempt to see the other person's perspective, or evaluate how the author should be approaching the discussion

The whole point of the article is to provide the perspective of the Autistic. Why are you assuming "There is no attempt to see the other person's perspective"? Why are you demanding the subject of the article be about what you want it to be or for it to cover the other side of the interaction? There are certainly interactions where there is a misunderstanding on the side of the non-autistic and that is what this article is attempting to provide insight into.

Current limits usually make this Just Work: clamping diodes sink enough current to drop the voltage from 12V to 5V (or whatever) and the thresholds in the reverse direction are defined so that a 12V circuit still sees 5V as high if there isn't a terrible amount of noise.

Of course, this all depends on sane current limiting behavior from the 12V side. I'm sure there's at least one line driver out there that does a good "gnome swapping terminals on a car battery really fast" impression.
For a researcher, yes. But for understanding the trick there, you need to have read and understood the CTC loss paper.

For people like my industry clients, on the other hand, "code that is easy to audit and easy to install" is a core feature. They don't care about the research, they just want to make audio files search-able.

One wrinkle in this is that photons do have indirect self interactions, and any graviton should have self-interaction. [0]

But the overall story around colour confinement, flux tubes and so constant force required to separate quarks is the right explanation.[1]

It is not the self interaction per se that leads to confinement, but that colour seem to be confined.

It depends on what you are trying to accomplish, but I think a combination of Puppeteer and JSDOM or Cheerio should take you far. Where it gets complex is when you need to do things such as rotating IPs, but in my experience, that's only needed if you're engaging in a heavy scraping workload.

Puppeteer + JSDOM is what I used to build https://www.getscrape.com, which is a high-level web scraping API. Basically, you tell the API if you want links, images, texts, headings, numbers, etc; and the API gets all that stuff for you without the need to pass selectors or parsing instructions.

In case anyone here wants something straightforward. It works well to build generic scraping operations.
The "persuade" and "just about any subject" part set combine to basically be the opposite of expertise on a topic, so I'd guess confidence, practice speaking, height and other monkey brain things probably help more than clearly marshalling thoughts.

Possibly easier to just hire an actor to deliver your message.

Might depend on the target audience though.
The percentages you listed are not equally weighted; they're weighted by what average consumers spend. People spend vastly more per month on housing and food than they do on gasoline.

So the conclusion that gasoline was the biggest factor in the overall reduction is not true.

@bamboozled - Can’t reply directly as we’re too nested, but I think as long as our services and jobs are concentrated around Sydney, there won’t be any particular decrease in demand. The end goal for these people is to own all the property around the city that could feasibly be rented out to workers, who have no choice but to live there because that’s where the hospitals, jobs, and people are.

40 years of successive governments have set the city up to make decentralisation basically impossible. We have next to no fast transit options, our roads in and out are all privately owned toll roads, and once you leave the ‘greater sydney area’, which is fairly massive anyway, there’s basically nothing there to support you.
It is similar to rent seeking behavior: create a super high quality product with a strong brand name. Then once it gets popular, switch to a cheap product but keep the same brand name. Keep price the same, lower your costs, get more $$.

Part of the problem is also that knock off manufacturing is now quick and pretty good. Snap-On initially had a huge lead on the market because (a) they invented something new and (b) nobody could quickly replicate what they had. Now if they come out with a new type of wrench within a year others will copy the design at a fraction of the cost and it will be almost as good. In most cases it will be way better value for the money.
I feel ya. It took me a couple years to get used to having kids, but there is a point where I realized (as a very selfish person) my life was no longer about me. The little amount of time I get to myself anymore I cherish, just as much as the time I cherish with my children.

EV growth of the last few years was nothing compared to the increase size of the average car (more SUV and pickup sales in proportion, compared to standard “cars”).

So really the EV market is still insignificant and gaz consumption for the average household has gone up, not down.
This is not entirely Google's fault. As I recall*, the incumbents were doing their damnedest to deny Google access to existing infra (utility poles, buried, etc.), which significantly slowed the roll out (while also increasing the cost). I did eventually get Google Fiber at my home and it was amazing. 1Gb for $70 with no contract and I don't remember having a single outage.

*I bought a new build in 2016 in South Austin and had to wait some time before Google Fiber became available
If I say "I don't like gays". How is that violent?
