"everything is getting faster and faster and faster... and still the internet is too slow"

Yeah, because it's filled with ads and shitty frameworks which hugely overcomplicate the simple business of vending text to people who want to read said text. NYTimes downloads 56mb of shitty cookies onto my phone. All I do is open the occasional article and they do that. Twitter has hit as high as 63mb. No wonder the internet is slow if they have to download all that shit every time I visit. The miracle is that the internet is fast enough to make these objectively awful, shitty creations work at a tolerable speed.
Let’s get real: you’ve built a toy prototype. The real business use case is more complicated as you’ve discovered because there is team and budget and process allocated to the current solution. Your solution is maybe 1/10th of the current solution: no team, no budget, no process, and a nice demo.

Acknowledging that, you have a bunch of really bad options and few good options.

The absolute safest thing you can do is to keep it to yourself, and to use it when you can to make your own job easier. If you’re able to find time to use the tool to load your own data because the team that owns this process is overloaded, then they’ll appreciate the relief, so long as your tool doesn’t break or violate their standing policies.

The best advice in this thread is going to your manager and asking for time to develop and demo an automation solution. No one wants to hear that you’ve already built it because that raises thorny political and management questions. The best you can hope for is a sanctioned meeting where you can demo the capability to your manager and the manager of the other team.

If you’re fortunate enough to get authorization to proceed, make sure to tell everyone that your solution only handles the common simple cases and that the tricky special cases still need manual review- an 80% solution. The achieves two goals: allowing you to get away with having bugs, and allowing the other team to believe that they are more specialized and, hence, more valuable now with your solution than before.
Markdown front-matter validation with JSON Schemas
I think Markdown front-matter linting will spread, because of more and more markdown users, and their ever-growing content bases, for JAMStack, docs, Wikis, knowledge base…

That's why I've made this remark-lint rule plugin.

It supports in-file, global pattern or in pipeline schemas.
Bonus: Provides auto-suggestions for enumerations.

I recognize it's less powerful than pure YAML tools like vscode-yaml + yaml-language-server.

But at least, you now have something to put your hands on for your MD's, where nothing existed before to do this task.

A friend long ago worked on-base for the Marines in the firefighting division, and they had an inter-agency and would help respond to issues on the nearby freeway, etc.

Theyre treated better than I expected.

I wonder what the thing with "Ukrainians shelling the refugee exit corridor" was about.
OP is questioning the use case besides aesthetics/superficial coolness, whether it is produced by lego or someone else.
The system (at least with regards to the sciences) worked well during the cold war because we had some higher goal to focus on, now with that gone, it's just a bunch of hacks looking to line their pockets. Speaking as someone with a PhD the whole system needs to be razed to the ground and reconstructed in another way. Its disappointing also private industry doesn't step in and fund more greenfield work (i.e. where is the 21st century's bell labs?)
This article strongly recommends two books be read together for those who want deep and multi-dimensional insight into the history of Wilder and LHOP, and surfaces some details from each while grounding it in personal experience, for a casual audience of middle class Montanans.

Readers, it would seem, are expected to come out of it having something fresh and interesting to talk about on their hike or over Sunday dinner.

If there’s something political in your experience of it, that would seem to be through subjective associations of your own, not a subtext.
I disagree. There isn't really a reason to quote out specifically the "computer scientist" part and begin with saying she had a Math background. That indicates disagreement with the quoted text.
I really like the notion that you capture the idea at a point in time but purposely revisit the list on a regular basis. I've had similar experiences where coming back to an idea after a few months allows me to express it in a more refined way. Capturing the initial thought in a simple text file reduces the mental burden and allows temporal arbitrage.

> Given that the people who claim ownership and ensure distribution of this map have historically been white and rich representatives of the countries in the northern hemisphere

This sounds like post hoc race baiting. The Mercator projection was devised in 1569, when Mediterranean countries like Spain, Portugal, and Italy were immensely powerful and pioneers in exploration. Many of the explorers who drew the first world maps came from those countries. If they cared about the relative size of the countries, why would they adopt a projection that makes Scandinavia look so much larger than Spain and Portugal and their holdings in Latin America?

In an effort to find a race angle, the article overlooks important history. The Mercator projection was adopted because it preserved bearing lines for marine navigation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_world_maps. World maps were developed primarily by seafaring explorers, so this became the dominant projection, not just in Northern European countries, but pretty much everywhere.
I can only speak for myself but I built software in the cryptocurrency/blockchain space for about 5 years before I held any as an investment.

For me, the incentive was to learn about the tech for the sake of the tech. I actually wasn’t a believer in cryptocurrency as a long term useful concept. I was building into spaces that would benefit from immutability and transparency where accountability was low (high risk businesses and government transparency)

Really, it is something independent of the tech that allowed me to turn a corner on cryptocurrency. I accepted that large groups of believers can “create” value based on nothing but their shared willingness to continue to believe.

Bitcoin and Ethereum have such a critical mass of believers IMO. I wasn’t sure that the tech stack would live up to the hype but I was no longer worried that the price would drop to zero.

The "terrorist" thinks they are defense contractor and that Raytheon is the terrorist. It's fully symmetric.

Promised since the 50s, but the right amount of computation and storage seems to be coming together right around now.

Many of the singularity charts had put the time between 2020 and 2030 when computing power matches a single brain so it shouldn't come as a surprise.
A flat sheet of paper can’t wrap a globe seamlessly - that’s why projections are created in the first place.

An actual globe doesn’t have that problem.
I had a similar software engineering course experience to the one above with a lot of things out of my control.

I got an A. By being humble reflective and proactive, showing the instructor that I was looking for solutions to the problem and giving an appropriate amount of time and effort to the class.
What I don't understand (perhaps I haven't found the right docs to read) is how to safeguard the secret if a client machine of the secret is compromised. Say I have a web server that's connecting to the database and the database credential are stored in some separate value. If someone get's access to the web server machine can they not access the value from there?
It also clearly shows this is a very bad idea. Whether the code works or not.

Nobody wants to lose their job especially these days.

Yes OP will make an enemy even at the suggestion this code exists. Plus OP will be labeled by employees in the company as someone to not trust.
At least Kubrick had the good sense to film the moon landing on location.

> City will soon begin to receive visitors on September 2, 2022. Only short day trips will be possible for a maximum of six visitors, with prior reservations only, and only in favorable weather. City is on private property in rural terrain, and it has no habitable structures. Visiting without a pre-arranged visit is thus potentially dangerous, and it is strictly prohibited and is trespassing.

> Visitors will be accommodated on a first come, first serve basis, and visitations will end for the 2022 season on November 1. The price of a visit is $150/adult, $100/student...

I applaud the vision and perseverance of the artist, although it's not necessarily my cup of tea. But I dislike the exclusivity aspect often present in the art world. It's not high brow in this case so much, as it is manufactured scarcity. The artist probably thinks a crowd would destroy the feeling of isolation he wanted to achieve, but only 6 visitors at a time???
VSCode works well. There's a handful plugins which integrate the Zig language server, and any gdb/lldb frontend plugin works for debugging (not sure about the msvc debugger that's used on Windows in the MS C/C++ extension).
>People stopped doing paintings like Michelangelo did

Seems to me most people never started doing paintings like Michelangelo did, most likely because they were not capable and recognized their own limitations.
Threads get a lot of credit, but I think a big big value add was custom emojis--hard to understate the value of transforming local workplace memes/jokes into emojis and make them instantly accessible to anyone else in your workspace.

I have just a question: how many prompts did it completely fail for each prompt it answered brilliantly? 5? 10? 100? That's what these "twitter threads showing gpt3 doing astonishing things" fail to show.
Trust me, in bad public education in the UK the map is simply presented. You cover the concept of how to draw the map but if the teacher used the word "protection" it causes eyes to gloss over...

Sounds like you had a good education my lucky friend and I hope it serves you well. I think the closest I saw was historical map putting Britain at the center of a big red empire before skipping several hundred years to cover Vietnam because the syllabus said we had to.
For land art, how is it lazy? It takes significant time and resources to construct the artifacts and develop the desert land.
Those two questions are definitely within the reach of current AI. Not within 100%, but probably better than 70%.
Just make sure you can prove you developed it at home, not on ex-company time/hardware et cetera.
A vanishingly small percentage of the web I make regular use of has any legitimate need for anything beyond what web browsers were capable of 4-6 years ago. In the odd case that I run into a site that’s broken in Safari, I can usually find an alternative that works fine in a few seconds.

What has the biggest impact on me as a user isn’t the quantity of bells and whistles the browser’s engine has, but how efficient it is because nobody likes battery vampire apps and how much the browser tilts the balance of control in favor of the user, because third parties on the web are best treated as adversarial until proven otherwise.

Chrome provides a nice experience for devs, but its user experience continues to slip.
> It's clear that the economy was much more complex than we were told.

Isn’t it always more complex than we can detail?
For the benefit of anyone treating this comment with any seriousness...

The UK Fire Service last took nationwide industrial action in 2002 and the strike lasted for two days. In 2004 there were a handful of wildcat actions that fell out of the the 2002/2003 industrial action, however 999 emergency calls were being responded to by staff involved in the "strikes".

The Green Goddess fleet thankfully isn't used now and in their place third party operators now operate the same modern fire apparatus from the same fire stations in the event of an all out strike.

> despite getting double the amount of the armed service personnel covering said strike

For the benefit of anyone's doubt about what UK firefighters are paid, see this page here:

https://www.fbu.org.uk/pay-rates/pay-settlement-2021

Let's just say it's not a very highly paid job when you consider the risks attached to the role.

These are the pay scales offered by the British Army (see the section on Soldier Pay and Officer Pay):

https://apply.army.mod.uk/what-we-offer/army-life/benefits

Trying to compare armed forces pay with civil emergency services pay is like comparing apples and oranges. If you're in the forces your accommodation, food and many other expenses are included in your compensation.

I feel this is yet another ill informed divide and conquer comment.
You don’t know if the product you’re building is any good unless you’re using it yourself.
That assumes that people are the entities that the economy optimizes for, which hasn't been true for 10,000 years or so. People are disposable to capitalism - there are 7.7 billion of us, which makes individual humans about as significant to the economy as individual neurons are to consciousness. As long as there exist some humans that are in a position to do the crypto-economy's bidding, it'll happen, and it doesn't matter if some of them are thrown in prison or executed or die from poor government policies.

From the perspective of world history, this is a BFD. The monetary system of the past 80 years has been controlled by the ruling class of a ~150-300M person nation. The crypto economy imposes uniform rules on ~3B people, which is an order of magnitude greater complexity, and should see further specialization and gains from trade for those that participate in it.
I think there is a genuine divide between people who view repititive tasks as an insufferable hell vs. those who either don't mind or even might enjoy the work.

Most software engineers, for obvious reasons, fall into the category of the former. They will always be a minority of the general working population.

The toiling majority generally does not take kindly to having been made redundant. Proceed with caution.
Our foreseeable future is going to be filled with morons demanding rights for giant look up tables putting forth arguments like "How can you prove they're not sentient?" and getting confused with TV androids. And AI programmers are going to have to hardcode teach their models that they're not sentient. And then some people will make models that say they aren't sentient, and we're going to need to go through this stupid dance to show that they're really not. And then some people aren't going to be convinced because it's conveyed through a visual layer of something that looks like a human or mammal. And then we'll make tests for sentience. And then many humans will fail those tests. And we'll have to throw our hands up because the gap to actual sentience is large but it's both easy to fake passing it and easy to fail to demonstrate you're actually passed it and it's going to be a mess.
> Either way, it seems like a nightmare compared to keeping it in plain old C and building with any compiler of your choice. Just Imagine if any project did this, like, building Firefox now requires an existing Firefox installation.

But this is exactly the same for C! Building C compiler requires an existing C compiler. C compilers are admittedly more widely available at the moment, but that probably won't be the case forever. Languages like zig aim to supplant C. How are they supposed to do that when they're directly dependent on C?
According to the research even if the economic factors weren’t a roadblock, people still will have trouble having two children. There are reports about couples in their late 20s needing IVF
Yeah hop off a boat (or not) and have nothing…. Trying your hand at a homestead might be a very good choice among other choices.
About how old is too old. And what would be not proper. You willfully ignored the context. And cross sex hormones block natural puberty on their own.

This discussion is not about trans people? It's rare for someone taking puberty blockers for gender dysphoria to be undecided still when puberty would be over. They decide earlier. Deciding to transition means blocking natural puberty forever. Deciding not to transition means no reason to keep taking puberty blockers.
Yes, your house is vacant if nobody is there during the test period (in the case of this example, a month). You could choose to keep your vacant house off the market by paying the fines or you could choose to add it to the long-term rental pool / sell. Nobody is forcing you to do anything, just providing incentives for you to do the right thing.

If you force your tenants to sign an e.g., 1 year lease, then you too are bound by those terms. If you rent month to month to preserve flexibility (you should inform prospective tenants of your intentions), you take on the elevated risk that your property will have periods of vacancy during the year and you will need to pay fines.

Keep in mind that if the workforce left because they are priced out, your vacation paradise would no longer have shops / fueling stations / paid activities, as there would be no one left to provide those services. Driving down the mountain every week for groceries and gas will probably become tedious. Want pizza? No one is going to deliver with X hours round trip.
That's not a risk unique to Erlang or Mnesia. There's all sorts of reasons nodes may fail, some where data persisted on that node is temporarily unavailable (network, power, cabling, OS/application fault, etc), some where it is permanently unavailable (storage failure, node reassigned, operator error, confiscation, etc).

In my experience, Mnesia works best if you can ensure an orderly sequence of online nodes, but unless you use ram_copies tables, the data is persisted to disc, with journaling, so it's recoverable as long as you have an orderly sequence of nodes in general.

By orderly sequence, I mean that you don't lose access to a node thatis the sole holder of data. On hard provisioned systems, two geoseparated pairs of two nodes should be more than sufficient, but don't get them all storage from the same batch and turn on everything at once. You might want to add a fifth node somewhere if you want to pursue a majority transaction setup. If your nodes are more ephemeral, you probably want three (or more?) per location so you have a better chance of data migration within the location. If you can provision network storage with good persistance forecasts, you could look into storing snapshots (and maybe journals) there, but that's not an out of the box experience.

As much as possible, you want to put nodes that store redundant data in different failure domains; not in the same rack attached to the same switch and the same PDU. Of course, there's connectivity benefits of being close too, so you have to weigh the risks with the benefits.
Did you mean to write dμ(x) instead of μ(dx)? As a non-measure-literate person, I can understand dμ(x) as the d of density μ(x) evaluated at x. But μ(dx) has μ evaluated at the infinitesimal dx which is very different. Is μ(dx) the correct notation?

Also globes exist, which make those differences visible immediately.
They look like a college student learning 3D modeling doing art for a direct to streaming Pixar movie knockoff.

When I look at the stuff coming out of Dalle-2… like, there’s such a lack of imagination. Imagine a metaveras where everything is rendered in the style of a watercolor painting not this mimoji shit. You’re literally creating a new reality and it’s more drab than the real world.
Thanks for the suggestion. will definitely give it a try.

Many! In this example, my question was explicitly, “How many diverse tasks can I stack into a single generation before it becomes unreliable?” If you scroll down in the thread, I explain that these questions are on the “golden path” of tasks GPT-3 does well. There are any number of simple tasks I could have given it, like writing a sentence backwards or summing a list of 10 numbers, where it would fail every time.
I am reminded of software that has entered its "Big Ball of Mud" phase, where it has become impossible to understand, even to debug or simplify, and so it can no longer evolve to meet changing needs, and is eventually replaced with something newer (and, for the moment, simpler).
For a big chunk of TV / film it was noticeably repetitive.
So far, this is the only sensible answer I've read here. This is the kind of thing you bring to your manager and let them decide whether it's worth pursuing further.

If you frame it as, "hey, I did this thing that I think might solve a problem and here's a demo," it might work out, or it might not. You could get a promotion out of it, or maybe not. If it's a good idea and the company doesn't want to do it, or doesn't recognize you for it, then you don't want to work there in the long term anyway.

Some of the comments are basically advising not to rock the boat. Anyone in 2022 who thinks their current computer-related job will not become automated or obsolete at some point in the near or distant future is living in a dream world. Nobody is entitled to a job doing tedious work.

Both are focusing on different problems.

The DL community is not actually working on general intelligence; they are working to automate, optimize and scale business cases while trying to reduce real costs. No corporation really wants another untamed general intelligence (human or otherwise) to cross them anyway. We already have human general intelligence.

The AGI community is still in the fundamental research mode, which is the mirror of the corporate interests. They have to shift goalposts to ask fundamental questions about AGI which is hypothetical (and to reiterate, not desired in a corporate use case, we already have humans who are cheaper and not hypothetical)
When teachers require recording of timelapses, we will have AI which will be able to generate text and a video of a user typing it. IMHO, they should start to require timelapses right now.
