Technical people often believe using more/new tools will solve people problems. "If only we could measure more by better decomposing tasks in Jira, then we'd know how to be more efficient! If only we could add micro-specific tags to or documentation, then anyone can search for what they want and find the resource! We just need to put every single process anyone has ever heard of into confluence; then anyone can look them up and follow them!"

Tools don't solve people problems because at the scale of people problems everyone has a different philosophy about the tool (and the problem). Communication is what solves people problems.
I can't imagine why anyone would expect otherwise. If you're still 'inside' an application, why wouldn't that app be able to track everything you do?

To completely hijack the discussion here, I believe that Apple is actually one of the strongest forces for anti-privacy in the world, because of their long-term, successful push for the convention of app > website (not fully supporting PWAs, disallowing web push, etc). A website may spy on you, but it can only do so in ways constrained by the browser, which has to serve many "masters". Mobile apps are completely unconstrained in their spying, and in-app browsers are just the logical extension of that pattern.

Thanks largely to Apple, we've conditioned ourselves to expecting that you can't have good mobile UX without a mobile-native application, and it's hard to imagine ever escaping back into the relatively open web now that we're this far down this path. Most people will never question the privacy implications of installing the Facebook app, and most of Apple's privacy-directed efforts on iOS are basically playing walled-garden whack-a-mole on problems that are better solved at a societal level with web browser standards.

Yes, it's quite likely that I'm scapegoating here, but it's the way I see it.
"They found that as distance increases between affected bodies, strong force coupling grows quickly before leveling off and becoming constant."
webviews for clicking arbitrary links in apps like instagram or gmail are absurdly restrictive. i lose my context, cookies, and regular tools (bookmarks are gone, sharing often overridden, etc)
Actually twitter is fine on a mobile browser provided you use an account.

What I miss is the multi-container extension on fennec/firefox mobile. I keep using those sites in incognito mode but that mean I can only use one at a time.
Safari webview (WebKit) is what it's describing
Dark matter sounds suspiciously like aether to non-experts. I’m not saying it is, but do recall that the concept of aether filling the universe was an immensely popular one prior to the turn of the last century, so not too long ago. We don’t believe it any more, it’s hogwash of course.
Is this assuming they build in client-side reporting functionality? In this case it’s not E2EE anyway.

Or are you saying it’s not E2EE unless the clients are auditable?

Generally agree. There is a lot of discussion concerning the technical difficulties, RDF flaws and road blocks little acknowledgement of other non-technical impracticalities. Making something technically feasible does insure adoption. Changing a bunch of code over time will always be preferable redefining ontologies and reprocessing the data.
Well, you'd probably start by getting Miss Utility to come out and mark your lines. I think bombcar's point was that you care a lot more about not cutting those than any contractor will, and so you're less likely to do it.
1)

- SPARQL is _a lot better_ than the many different forms of SQL.

- Adding some JSON-LD can be done through simple JSON metadata. Something people using Wordpress are already able to do. All this will be more and more automated.

- The benefit is ontological cohesion across the whole web. Please take a look at the https://conze.pt project and see what this can bring you. The benefit is huge. Simple integration with many different stores of information in a semantically precise way.

2) AI/NLP is never completely precise and requires huge resources (which require centralization). The basics of the semantic web will be based on RDF (whether created through some AI or not), SPARQL, ontologies and extended/improved by AI/NLP. Its a combination of the two that is already being used for Wikipedia and Wikidata search results.
Yeah my experience as well. I've worked in lua for years and nearly every codebase has a home grown, often incomplete or fairly bad implementation of a json parser, csv writer, rgb converter, templating engine, etc. Only old-school php rivals it in this.

And for some reason this language seems to provoke people into writing custom build systems. A huge number of lua projects have them. In practice make can be pretty bad too but at least it's bad in familiar ways.
I actually find Twitter’s mobile web app experience to be pretty good–they don’t nag me to install the app every 5 seconds, it’s reasonably performant, the back button works properly and even mostly preserves scroll position. All of the core functionality is there, except new features like Fleets I don’t care about anyway. I use it regularly and have been pretty impressed.

Reddit on the other hand is absolutely hostile and basically none of what I said above is true of their mobile web UI. I refuse to install their app simply out of spite for how aggressively they nag for me to use it. I’ve said no like 500 times at this point, will I change my mind on the 501st prompt?
The M1 has that as shared memory between both the CPU & GPU.
I'm struggling with a site at the moment for exactly this reason, it requires an auth key to return the products.

Puppeteer had it working, but if I need to do this in a google firebase function, it would be so much better to get it to simple fetch requests.

For the e-commerce sites I'm looking at though, most just are server side rendered, which is so much easier. In that case i use `cheerio` which has jQuery like syntax for crawling the raw text DOM.
Really? You think there is an ending to a sentence that starts with:
"I think it is very fine to discriminate against people based in.."
That's actually good?
>Even salmon farms are fed with 20x the mass of smaller wild fish from the ocean.

The feed ratio for farmed salmon isn't 20, it's 1.2.

12 pounds of feed for 10 pounds of salmon.

The ratio is about 6 for beef, 4 for pork, 1.6 for poultry.

People who don't know things or make up statistics to support their environmental doom narrative do harm to the causes they are trying to help. Anyone skeptical of you can easily find your numbers are false, and very very false at that. Why would anybody believe any of the rest of what you have to say when clearly it's demonstrable that you don't know what you're talking about on an easily countered point.
The difference is that the internal representation in any state is a state issue, and it's up to the states to make sure those people do/do not have representation at the state level. I get the impression that most state legislatures do somewhat mirror the federal system with a popularly elected governor, but I haven't ever looked into it deeply.
Sure, but there are still a lot of decisions being made behind the curtain, when it comes to producing a model like GPT-3. How was the training data ontologized? Where did it come from? To some extent, these are the same problems facing manual curation.
its the same. any browser (or app otherwise) on entire system has to use it for web rendering
Apps that use Safari View Controller cannot view the page - of course Facebook doesn't use SVC for this reason.

While you're right that the Facebook/Instagram app can spy on links opened within the app, it can't plant cookies in your web browser - so those go both ways.
You're willfully missing the point. I'm not talking about the behavior of a kite (the kite could be designed to act autonomously and do whatever). I'm saying asynchronous analog modeling is by definition going to be both more efficient and capture a smoother gradient of concurrent states than a giant for/next loop (essentially what all neural networks do today) where each agent is checked and modified sequentially.
And indeed what about advocating for state sanctioned violence? E.g. if you're saying that buggery (or pedophilic cartoons) should be illegal you are advocating for men with guns to use violence or threat of violence to imprison those who do it.

I just saw this in another article: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/banish-for-safari/id1632848430

I wonder if it can solve this problem since reddit/twitter/tiktok won't stop.
I knew a couple who did similar in Seattle. They all got gobbled up one by one, sometimes by Speakeasy, who in turn was gobbled up by others. Briefly theirs was owned by an east coast company which sucked because they had east coast tech support. If your internet went down binge watching a show at 9 pm you were done for the evening because their people were in bed.

I would not recommend doing this business with a spouse. They did not make it for many reasons, but running a 24/7 interest sped up all of their problems. Not unlike a vacation that is going poorly, but every month.

Also fuck Covad. They only had to suck less than Centurylink nėe Qwest and they couldn’t manage that.
I generally don't see any appeal to in-app browsers in the first place. They often have extremely broken navigation controls (i.e. attempting to swipe back to a previous page usually just returns back to the app), block the ability to navigate to a specific URL, content blockers don't work, don't allow opening "smart links" that would typically open in another app if opened from a normal browser, etc. From what I'm gathering from this article, it sounds like in-app browsing allows apps to give you all of the "benefits" of being tracked (for their benefit only), with none of the (actual) benefits of using a real browser.
I use a smaller ISP in Washington state and my 1G symmetrical line just went from $79 to $59 a month and they increased my upload, it used to not be symmetrical.
So only when one incites people to kill those who you dislike? Is it not hate speech for Russians to talk about murdering Ukrainians, if they believe that NATO expansion and hostile nukes on their border represents a threat to their lives and freedom (whether or not you agree with this)?

If I think that somebody is going to get a gun control law passed which I think restricts my freedom, am I allowed to advocate killing them?
One Twitter user encouraged others to post more information about the short squeeze while asserting that they are in a "war" with the shorts.
> I remember the engineers on my team from HQ explaining to me that my proposed stand-up meeting schedule wouldn't work beacuse their intramural basketball league scheduled their games for that time. Meanwhile, in our low-perqs atmosphere in NY, distractions were limited and productivity was high. We also all made money.

Your standup meeting could've been an email. Their immovable basketball game (quality of life) is far more important than a meeting that can happen at any time - and probably doesn't even need to exist in the first place.

Other than that, your points stand.
For me it is quite simply because I lack the human touch. Due to a multitude of compounding factors I cannot manage to find a soulmate, and life alone is miserable.
I don't see how being smart would help in this situation. If anything it makes it harder to connect with someone, because the pool of compatible people is smaller.
More frustrating is to chart how close you actually are to gigabyte symmetric. AT&T and Sonic has wired up large parts of the city but if they don't serve you, it's often by just a block or two, depending on where you are in the city. Rumor has it that local ISP MonkeyBrains is also getting in on the fiber game.

Yeah, tracking your behavior. If you searched for a bar, did you look at other bars? Parking? What other things did you look at? All of this could potentially be used for segmentation.

True. But I can't imagine what the would be, honestly. I get along fine without using my smartphone for anything of importance -- especially banking -- even though I'm constantly told that's not possible.
I am of the same opinion. TerminusDB uses a data log for query and update. I think it will catch on.

And in the future we will even be able to add constraints - which can be a real superpower in querying graphs.

Honestly they are really delicious and satiate in a similar way to meat. Try some grasshoppers next chance you get.
Awful but not suprising. Their apps are effectively spyware at this point.
Doing, unless we've already instilled a habit on auto-pilot, requires effort to varying degrees. That is trying. It's impossible to divorce.

I think letting go of expectations is a positive, but I think the aphorism in question does not translate to it. Cognitive trappings have nothing to do with effort. Effort in itself can be rewarding.

My immediate reaction was that it was some sort of 4chan project, tounge-in-cheek named after their softcore porn board (also named "/e/").

I'd wager I'm not the only one thinking that.
since years ago apple added the little back button to return you to your previous app, even webview is dead weight. apple should only allow one, in some special context, that's so counterintuitive to implement that only frameworks e.g. react native can justify the effort
Curious C++ Lambda Examples: Recursion, constexpr, Containers C++23 included
Imo it's a lack of meditation. We think too much and don't balance that with not thinking.
When I see slash letter slash I think "a board on 4chan". In this case, it happens to be a pornographic board.

Bad name all around.
I find your posts throughout this thread offensive and I think you should be arrested and jailed for them. Very few things are as violent and hateful as attempting to strip people of their rights.

> The idea is to do for ML development what Rails and Heroku did for web development.

I think this is a great way to explain what you're doing. I'm working in the same space (ML/DS tooling) and I feel like we, as the ML/DS community, haven't cracked exactly how Rails for data looks like, I actually wrote some ideas on this a while ago (https://ploomber.io/blog/rails4ml/).

Congrats on the launch and best of luck with the product!
I have a slightly related question. I host my blog on a cheap VPS, it's mostly text-based with few photos. Every page weighs less than a couple of kilobytes. Are there any benefits to using Brotli or gzip compression when serving the files?

What's faster: downloading an uncompressed 5KB file or downloading a compressed 3KB file and decompressing it?

I use Caddy, the files would be precompressed.
Outages (planned and unplanned) Reporting
The semantic web is notion for defining data relationships. Datalog and SQL are languages for queries. These have little to do with one another. It's like saying that HTML is failing as a format, so the answer is HTTP.
I'm gonna bet the Romanian ISP has fewer employees per subscriber and fewer employees per mile of fiber.

Unless most of the population takes these exams you have only identified generally, it’s not going to reflect the average person. All that good performance by a small number of students would tell us is that smart people exist, which I already know, but not how many stupid people exist, which is what will affect average numbers either on exams or median income. So the evidence you claim exists would not even be capable of supporting your argument.
All those monuments that happened to find themselves in ISIS and Taliban areas of control say hi.
Serious question... is that email supposed to be an example of something good?
Yup, most of these tools fall into the definition of "orchestration" in one way shape or form, though not all of them are targeted at Machine Learning pipelines, and not all of them focus as much on the low barrier to entry space we're aiming at. In general they also don't optimize for local workflows while still enabling cloud access. We understand there are a lot of tools that may superficially look similar, so we've put together a page to describe things we do differently from other tools: https://docs.sematic.dev/sematic-vs

Btw, orchest looks like a cool way to orchestrate notebooks!

Also, hi! I'm founding engineer here at Sematic. Happy to answer any questions I can!
nip2 has `.ws` files for storing workspaces (just a big chunk of XML), and `.def` files for its own scripting language.

The nip2 scripting language is also very odd: it's something like dynamically typed Haskell, but with classes. You can see roughly what it looks like here:

https://github.com/libvips/nip2/blob/master/share/nip2/start...

All of the menus are implemented in this thing.
> Constant daily work and inspection is required to avoid insect infestations and mold outbreaks (cleaning is critical). Many flowering and fruiting cycles in plants are highly light-period-sensitive so that has to be carefully managed as well. Expect to put in hours of labor every day, without fail.

I don’t have any experience with industrial-level hydroponics, only my ~40 plant indoor system, but these problems might only be ones of scale.

The only pest I need to deal with is fungus gnats which “Mosquito Bits” added to the reservoir solves completely for a few seconds of effort every month. If you spot algae starting to bloom in the reservoir just toss in a touch of 3% H2O2.

LED lighting and water pump are managed by timer switches with day/night phases.

For maybe an hour or two a month of effort, I get to supplement my meals with food harvested from 20 feet away that were almost entirely grown through automation with less water than a single shower takes. It feels like sci-fi to me! I’d encourage anyone who is considering it to take the leap.
So you're saying 40%+ of new cars are leased? Is this normal? Or is this higher than usual because of low interest rates?
JavaScript is very popular overall, possibly more than Java, and it is, without a doubt, the dominant client-side language, but its prospects on the server are currently not as rosy as they were five years ago. It's never materialised as a solid, responsible choice for big, important, server-side applications, and it's lost the coolness factor it had when Node was young.

The market is much more fragmented than it was in, say, 2004, and so Java is not likely to regain its anomalous overwhelming dominance it had back then anytime soon, but no other language seems posed to do that, either.
I am running into this problem where I currently work. I'm not a rockstar developer but I can finish my tasks pretty quickly. But when management won't allow me to help take over some tasks to alleviate my coworker's growing backlog, I can't do anything but twiddle my thumbs waiting for more tasks.
> "regular people" tend to coast along on the back of others as a way of life...many will route their problems to a "smart friend"

The human animal's basic survival strategy is cooperation. I'd imagine your "regular people" friends should be willing to help you out with something not readily in your power (e.g. house-sitting). Because you are intelligent, you get a certain kind of request; if you had a big truck or big muscles, you'd get a different sort.

If you've helped people without the expectation of reciprocity or setting boundaries, you've created the dependencies. On the other hand, it sounds like you have a lot of favors you can call in :-)
> I don't give a shit what Google has to say [...] I do care is what the laws actually are

Well this time it happens to be one and the same.

> When it's legal to do it against one political classification of persons, but it's illegal to do it against another one... That is a big freaking problem.

That's exactly what the laws say. And for good reason most times.

Here's [0] a handy guide for people who care about what the laws are just slightly less than they care about their own personal opinion. It will hopefully help you understand that what you consider to be "logical" or "common sense" is not necessarily accurate. I highlighted the parts which make the laws very targeted ("one political classification of persons"):

> "There are laws that criminalize speech because of the particular content of that speech. The prohibited content differs widely: in some jurisdictions speech that incites hatred or is insulting about certain groups is penalized. Other common prohibitions are on speech which denigrates a person’s or a nation’s “honour” or “dignity”. There may also be restrictions on specific historical subjects, the most notable being laws which prohibit Holocaust denial or glorification of Nazi ideology. This category of speech regulation is described as “hate speech”."

Here's [1] another handy piece of info, the EU is extending the list of EU crimes to hate speech and hate crime.

But... Hate speech laws do open the door for abuse. What's hate speech today because the target is legitimately vulnerable, can be abused by a not so vulnerable group tomorrow (politicians incriminating any kind of attack on them). Then again you always have to rely on the regime applying the laws to not abuse them. This doesn't change the fact that as it stands today Google has it pretty accurate but your understanding of the situation and reasoning behind it is lacking.

> These are people-problems, and usually a dev made this mistake exactly once after being hired.

Classifying bugs as "people problems" strikes me as an incredibly hostile work environment.

What happens to the poor developer who makes a particular mistake twice? They get fired?
I'd create a simple health check based on the integrity of the data your retrieve.

Think about giving it a score based on how the data is shaped. If it's missing prices for example, then it immediately goes down to zero, doesn't update the database and sends an alert.
You joke, but when I'm surrounded by "dumb" people, I tend to be much happier than when I'm surrounded by "smart" people. Maybe I'm dumb.

I once wrote an email to Steve Jobs, saying that operating systems like MacOS and iOS should have a secret phrase or icon that they show to you whenever they show a system-level security dialog. (And of course implement the same restrictions on screenshots of that dialog as they do for movies.)

Because otherwise, an app can totally fake the interface of a security dialog. The only way you know, these days, is that password managers and cookie jars work with the "approved" sites, but they can simply show you a site that doesn't require those, and then fool you into entering your passwords!

Steve never replied to me. And Apple never implemented it.
