Thank you for the quick reply! I’m not a Supabase customer so apologies if the questions don’t make sense in your context.

But I think it would help to understand if Supabase is fully managing key backup and recovery internally, how exactly is that working?

Ultimately the whole value of TDE at the database layer comes down to two things IMO which are flip sides of the same coin;

1) Being able to store your database backups in less trusted locations,

2) actually keeping the secret data secret, which amounts to keeping that encryption key secured at a much higher level than the database backup itself.

In the end it’s just key vaults all the way down, isn’t it!
I think you've buried the lede here. The sum-of-cubes visualization is neat but IMHO it pales in comparison to your use of the time dimension in mathematical notation allowing you to make 3-D symbols in a medium that has only two physical dimensions. I've never seen that before. It's one of those things that is kind of obvious once you see it for the first time, but AFAICT you are the first person ever to actually do it.
People have already abused the leetcode solving AIs to get into FAANGs. Blind is filled with salty posts of people who witnessed their friends who cheated into FAANG and then saw those same friends get promoted later.

This won't cause an AI winter though. More like an AI heatwave instead...
> The cynical me says they weren't smart enough to automate away their own work (so they could be assigned more, different work), so eff 'em, right? That is, until someone else automates away your job.

Sort of besides the point but I wish someone _would_ automate my job so I can find even more interesting things to work on; I’m trying and I haven’t figured out how to yet. Yes, this is obviously only a position someone can feel if they are blessed with either lots of ability or economic security, but could we change that?

I know the problem is the resulting economic hit and not the having of a job or not, and I wish we had more of a safety net and support for people shuffling to better economic activities rather than being stuck in a local maxima with potentially disastrous switching costs.
Things like UBI, public option healthcare, free state sponsored college degrees, and government sponsored vocational training have a decent record, and I wonder how we can scale them up past things like the GI bill.

That’s what trademarks are for.
Create a compound signature. You don't just take one measurement but many measurements and then assess the probabilities. You may have people talking in a mall, but they will be in a narrow frequency band. Similarly you can analyze the repeating elements. Keep iterating and adding stuff until f(signal) performs well

I had the same experience but with a final exam that was way too long and covered all of the types of diff. equations given to us throughout the semester (expected to just memorize everything). Result was that the average score was ~29%, only reason anyone passed the class was that it had a curve. By far the worst university level math class I had, it has been much easier to learn to solve them depending on need with physics.

The required memorization made things especially difficult for me because I tend to work off intuition rather than memorization. I also usually can't name theorems despite knowing them from practice (this also used to be a huge pain for exams where solutions were unreasonably only considered correct if you named everything used).
Apparently advocating for the violent overthrow of the government might get you in trouble with that government. Who knew?

Ask yourself, if a bunch of randos in trucks rolled into your capital city, demanding that the democratically elected leader step down and they form government what would you want to see happen?

They have intentionally targeted civilians and civilian infrastructure since the very beginning. There's not much this Russian filth has not done yet.

> Are there any things/situations you can't use stevia for?

Unrefined ground dried stevia leaf can be quite bitter depending on what it is mixed into. I find it works well in baked goods like cinnamon rolls and corn bread, but makes berry smoothies too bitter to drink.

The refined version is much less bitter-- e.g., it works in berry smoothies (but, there is a very noticeable fake sugar taste/after taste with smoothies).

In either case, mixing with a little regular sugar (naturally occurring sugar content in e.g., berry smoothies is sufficient), generally improves the favor.

And, stevia does not caramelize like sugar when cooked. E.g., replacing most of the sugar in pancake/waffle batter will result in pancakes/waffles that do not brown when cooked.
The Mercator projection map was the map I was most exposed to in school and was on my bedroom wall at home when I was going to Elementary school. Later on when I went to college, I saw the Peters Projection map (and had that on the wall above my desk in my apartment. This map rebooted my brain in that it showed a more truthful representation of how large an area was in relation to other areas.

I do happen to think that the prevalence and persistence of the Mercator projection's use with its grossly distorted representations of northern hemisphere land regions encouraged distorted thinking about geopolitics. That the since the northern continents and their countries appear larger than southern countries, this also encouraged the mistaken belief that the north was more important than the south.
I love this idea. Maybe some extra credit if your Stage N-1 is the most popular choice?
* Monolithic endpoint hardware architecture is a root cause issue
* Closed ecosystem, e.g. by Apple, is a root cause issue
* Not everyone has the resources to build/maintain a proper portable NOC"
* A "portable NOC" can conceivably be architected into endpoint architecture
* VPN should be an entirely separate appliance within the device itself, physically distinct from the network interface and endpoint

Planty of opportunity here for secure rebuild, but who can possibly dethrone Google/Apple's trillion dollar entrenched ecosystem? Besides, why re-architect just the endpoints? The flat, single-pipe global internet is part of the root cause issue.

Would you ask this if sick people are moved to a hospital where they can get care?

Homeless are moved to a place they can find shelter. It is the compassionate thing to do.

I don’t understand societies that support the rights of the homeless to live outdoors and take over the commons rendering it useless for its intended purpose.

I wonder how long the novelty of DALL-E will persist. HN seems to upvote anything titled "I did X with DALL-E". This is a fun post, but it's not that interesting or surprising. Still worth a look don't get me wrong, but personally didn't learn anything new from it. (eg recreating the famous pink Floyd cover with "Outline of prism on a black background in the middle of scene splits a beam of light coming from the left side into rainbow on the right side" unsurprisingly worked somewhat well).
Bill Gates’ nuclear startup wins $750M, loses sole fuel source. TerraPower notches a record-setting investment round led by South Korea’s SK. But it has no supplier of the enriched fuel it needs, now that sourcing from Russia is off the table.
You just learn Postgres/SQL as you go. And I've gotten much better at it (schema design, functions, querying) after adopting Hasura (similar idea as Supabase). It's an investment that will pay off for any developer and will outlast whatever cool framework of the month.

But yeah, there's room for more higher level abstractions on top SQL databases. Metabase actually has a nice UI for building queries. Maybe something like this would be useful in Supabase: https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/questions/query-builder...

Depends on the size. If you’re doing a small one (1U) you are probably just getting smartphone quality pictures. The reason why is because in my experience a lot of the electronics and stabilization hardware takes up enough space inside you can’t fit a super large camera system there. Although, I do think there have been upgrades to camera tech recently so maybe you could actually fit something with a decent zoom on earth if you’re careful with how you design it. Although, I doubt something similar in quality to a DSLR camera would be able to fit in a 1U. If you upgrade to bigger sizes you can get satellites that are high enough quality that they could see decently close up to earth. For instance, a bunch of CubeSats are able to get good enough images to monitor deforestation. Another commenter asked a variation of this deep space planets. That’s harder because it’s a much smaller target to aim for in the sky and would probably require a much better camera system.

What makes you think you would work on "more interesting things" as opposed to "nothing". That is, why would your employer keep you on as opposed to firing you.

Well, there is the underlying tension between the interest of the caller, who wishes to be heard immediately, and the receiver, who will have to drop everything to pay attention to the caller.

In a sense, email is more respectful of people's attention by being something they have to check in their own time, although notifications have spoiled that.
If they had bothered to read the license agreement they would know whoever generates the art owns the copyright. Since it's a pay-for action the copyright is owned by the payee.

Unfortunately, I don’t know of much — the convolution thing is from a whitepaper I’m currently working on, the third in a series.

The first two look at implementing shapes as diagrams as digital images:

https://www.zmgsabstract.com/whitepapers/shapes-as-digital-i...

https://www.zmgsabstract.com/whitepapers/shapes-have-operati...

You can get a sense of the convolution idea from thinking about how you’d detect the encoded square is an interval of intervals, via detecting a pattern along the diagonal and the connective blocks.

I also have a few notes on connecting the concept to Curry-Howard:

And some (messy) notes about general research direction:

https://zmichaelgehlke.com/journals/2021-01-30-intro-to-effe...

The idea of connecting a geometric and algebraic representation is based on work by Michael Shulman — and the internal languages of toposes. And work on the ML side such as covering based models. (Having trouble finding references on my phone; sorry.)

As a specific example of how the book opened my eyes to understanding architecture in a way I sure others have noticed, but never seen mentioned anywhere and is indirectly referenced in the excerpt I mentioned, commercial buildings frequently have “blueprints” right inside the front door called “fire alarm zone maps”; Google link below for examples:

https://www.google.com/search?q=fire+alarm+zone+maps&tbm=isc...

Other maps of comparable amounts of information include “fire evacuation maps” which are frequently on display in various areas depending on the type of building; Google link below for examples:

https://www.google.com/search?q=fire+evacuation+maps&tbm=isc...

While neither are complete blueprints, the maps frequently have information that’s not available; if you know what you’re doing, you can frequently even get blueprints.

To me, point of the book is introduce a way of thinking about architecture, not stay an update “how to guide” for physical security counter measures, red teams, etc.
Doing algorithms and functions are the least of my worries as a web developer. I need a copilot that helps me determine which kind of ui elements i need to help with task.

Although AI artists will destroy a lot of jobs, it will also create demand for new jobs for people who specialize in “paint overs” – taking a high concept output created by AI artists and touching it up to perfection.

Or perhaps even beyond just a paint over, and into the realm of recreating an entire AI artwork but with a human touch to get details just right.

Looking forward to it.

Can someone clarify the point about expected price action changes for ETH/USD and other pairs?

Presumably the author believes a smaller proportion of Ether will be regularly traded than on the PoW system, but will the total staked (i.e. held) amount be sufficient to impact prices significantly? Also, why would we expect stakers to not take their profits on a regular basis?

What’s the meaning (and reasoning behind) the following statement:

Great user experience, compared to what IRC was. Especially for non-tech people, so it could span the entire company.

Clean & simple Web UI, Drag'n drop file sharing, rich multi-line text, beautiful colors/branding, session & history handling, search functionality etc. are just some of the thing that come to my mind. IRC had no consistent experience, you just needed to know what the best client is and setup bunch of other things.

Functionally Slack might not have offered much over IRC at least for techies, but UX-wise it was a leap forward. It made chats approachable.

And ofc the timing was right.
Back in 2003, I decided I should bring in a 486 laptop for note-taking at uni. This was rather exotic at the time, even in a CS program.

By the rest of the world you mean Europe, right? Because outside of Europe it’s not really the case. Granted, i’ve not visited every country on earth, but in most cases i’ve seen “small livable downtown” is mostly an European thing. In other cases, you will need to take a looong ride home from the downtown (1h+).
As an engineer, approximate analytical solutions are often so much more valuable than numerical solutions. I wish approximation methods were taught more. They allow playing "what if?" exercises much more quickly, or finding important scaling laws.

For example, the Tsiolkovsky rockey equation says that delta v goes with the log of propellant mass. That's so useful to an engineer, to quickly estimate feasibility before diving deep into simulations! Or, the stiffness of a beam goes as thickness cubed, divided by length to the fourth power. Or the resonant frequency of an oscillator goes as the square root of 1/LC. Relationships like that are immediately useful for predicting problems and understanding what a solution looks like.

Of course sometimes numerical solutions are necessary. But usually, you run numerical simulations after most of the major design parameters are already dialed-in, and you just want to refine the solution or predict its behaviour. Searching only numerically for an optimum design is kind of a blind search, and no matter how fast your simulation, it gets increasingly difficult in higher dimensions. L

I have, like the article author presumably also does, a profund doubt as to whether generated works of this kind can be free of any copyright as long as the tool used is itself created using myriads of copyrighted works (as training data). I certainly do not trust the claims of the tool creators; they have all the incentive to ignore any copyright problems in order to get a tool which is usable.

And, as the article states:

> But seriously, how creative and original can you be with something that is trained on the works of millions of other creators?

> To me, it is unclear whether you can actually call these works your 'own' at all, because there's always someone else's touch on it.

> […] users of DALL-E will also never be sure whether they are generating something that is 'theirs' or just a knockoff of someone else's work.

I've worked on a variety of different size apps, but I haven't run into many issues with state synchronization yet. Generally, I try to keep data as close to its source of truth as I can. So if I need to synchronize state between actors, it would be to achieve a task and not to have duplicated data.

This could be an artifact of how I build systems. I have heard of some people that build really small actors and do a lot of data exchange. Without knowing details, I'd lean towards that being an anti-pattern.
