>How people perceive you is not dictated by a precise definition of the word.

So? Is my objective centered around perception? No.

>You seem to be aware that people are perceiving you in a particular way but rather than adjusting your communication you are trying to argue with them about their interpretation instead.

No, I'm correcting a person about wrong usage of a particular vocabulary word.

>... comes across as arrogant

I think that's a reasonable response given that someone called me arrogant. You think you can go around calling someone arrogant and not have a little retaliation in the response? Are you yourself not aware of your own words? I'm perfectly aware of the subtleties my response entails.
Isn't it time to retire the live vaccine and sponsor complete eradication using the inactivated vaccine? Yes, it's more expensive, but we live in an era where we face many challenges from new diseases like Covid-19, Monkey Pox, super-resistant bacteria strains, and the antivaxxer movements. We should finally tie up that loose end and create a success story for modern medicine.
"Dropping playground latency 90% by porting SpiceDB to WASM" is probably the title I should've submitted.

The entirety of SpiceDB (minus caching) runs under WASM, but the measurements are from the application of that to https://play.authzed.com
That’s true, but this is an easy cognitive dissonance for me to resolve, since I can think of it like paying to recover the handful of weeks I would have lost playing Civ over the past two years :)

Besides, I’m mad at 2K, not Nvidia. And I already bought the license for Civ, so it’s not like I can withhold money from 2K (I’d even pay for another license if it was an option to run it on the cloud - just let me do it).

GeForce Now itself is outstanding, and the technical quality of its product is exceptional. I suppose I could be mad at them for respecting questionably legal opt-out requests from publishers, but I understand their strategic reasons for cooperating with those.

And I suppose I’m only assuming 2K is the party at fault. I wish 2K would share its side of the story - maybe Nvidia tried a shakedown and asked 2K to pay for inclusion in its catalog? I doubt it though – the nature of GeForce Now means it supports any game by default, and requires effort to prohibit one. Given the obscure titles available in the GeForce Now library, I assume inclusion is opt-out by default, and 2K made their choice for whatever misinformed reason.

Thanks for commenting.

Respectful suggestion that you have no obligation to follow up on, but it might be a good idea to replace that gif with a more recent capture, or even to just remove it? I ran into your project a while ago, before it got featured on here, and that specific gif is the sole reason I never looked into it any further; my immediate reaction was just, "oh, never mind, it looks like the latency is too high to be useful."

Seeing your comment here is actually a happy surprise since I remember thinking at the time that it would be a really cool project if only the latency was even just a bit better :)

60ms is still probably too high for most drawing (of course to be fair, WIFI I'm sure is a big part of that), but it's usable enough that I don't think I would have dismissed the project outright if I had known that the gif wasn't representative.

Either way though, cool project, and I appreciate the clarification.

I'll step back a little and say that EA is somewhat anti-political, in that organizationally it doesn't believe in political action (any, really) as effective. It sometimes suggests donating to lobbying groups, but if EA took climate as seriously as they took AI-risk, you'd likely see a concerted effort to move people to Wyoming and push for a single-issue climate change candidate to support democratic climate initiatives.
I find it highly unlikely. Either a tutorial was used to build something before or lessons were learned from reading some sort of instructional material.
In Lem's "Golem XIV" Golem (a machine built to help plan World War III) explains to the humans that its intelligence isn't just greater than theirs along some singular dimension, like it understands way more about high energy physics or jazz or ethics than they do, but is instead categorically greater - and worse that it is definitely categorically impossible for humans to achieve such intelligence.

The humans really don't like that and Lem's story struggles to really sell it because of course Lem was human, so it's hard to play the role of "Machine which is just categorically more intelligent than my whole species" effectively.

One of the clever tricks in Vinge's "Tatja Grimm's World" is that Tatja is way more intelligent than everybody else on her planet, yet because of why she's more intelligent than everybody else Vinge doesn't need to somehow imagine being far smarter than he is.
That's great! There are some dads at my gym whose sons train, and watching them roll together is a treat.

From a toughness angle you're spot on. I've never done anything harder than learn to relax and survive underneath someone bigger who is also attacking. You want to panic, which is the absolute worst thing to do.
That's so sad and plausible. I already hate social networks because everything is so fake, I struggle to find genuine posts and interactions, I can't imagine what would happen when everything becomes [even] more and more fake. Will people become unsociable IRL?
I'm going to double down on the suggestion of powering the rails simply on account of the fact the main product is VR camera on a train and a web service built around it. Reinventing the way model rail systems work from the ground up will get you side tracked. You can always figure out how to construct battery based, wifi enabled smart locomotives later on. There's already a ton of standardization and interoperability in model train building. You don't have to reinvent it unless you insist on avoiding track electrification.

That said, if you're really committed to designing from scratch and are looking at the ability to climb steep grades like stairs and chimneys, and if you happen to be in San Fransisco (as many here are), I strongly recommend the cable car museum. Admission is free and its extremely educational. The cable cars are a marvel of engineering. A wholly modern rapid transit built before there was even electricity. The way they accomplished this was by having a cable underneath the tracks that is constantly moving (powered by steam in the main depot). When the cable car operator wants to start moving, they pull a lever which holds the car to a fixed point on the cable (in the exact same manner as the friction brake holds it to a fixed place in the ground). The cable car museum shows in stunning detail how this system accomplished things all the basic railroad operations like turns, tracks crossing, and track switching. You might find some inspiration in seeing how they did it.

This has nothing to do with blood donation.

“ plasma dilution is known as plasmapheresis or therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE); it replaces a patient’s plasma with saline and purified albumin. The blood cells are returned to the patient so that while the cell profile does not change, the circulating blood proteins are diluted, including cytokines, autoreactive antibodies or toxins, and such pathogenic determinants of specific disorders.”

That's an interesting point: yes, formally renewable are significantly "distributed" geographically, the tech to use them though is not that much and the trade-off between the two (control over localized natural sources vs control over tech needed to exploit distributed sources) could be an interesting scenario.

In that sense I see a far more nightmarish scenario where the progress is not anymore done in public universities but in private companies to a point that civil society can just only get black boxes from them, but that's is a bit OT here.

What's in-topic is that few sources state we are near to 100% renewable option, and some other say absolutely not, with the truth probably lie in the difference between theory and practice + availability of something vs it's adoption on scale. If that it's true IMVHO we will not be able to run on renewable for at least 50+ years AND we will suffer MANY issues trying to go faster...
It doesn't matter what the default is. When you make a website you need to make it work for everyone, including people at the edges. That means delivering something that works on a 'retina' display, which means using high resolution assets.

Web devs should be building sites that deliver the best assets for the users device, but they often don't and just send the giant images and let the users browser scale them down to fit.

Hence bigger websites.
It is not like there are just two options. The inequality distribution could have been different (total, relative). It was not necessary to destroy the economy (even today, after 30 years Russia is behind) and more importantly the society was destroyed too (the lowest level of trust https://www.edelman.com/trust/2020-trust-barometer ).

That's an even bigger problem.

Running through every possible x86 instruction is out of the question. Even provably creating every possible instruction scenario would be all but impossible.

Caching is a very hard problem. Add in a bunch of neural networks to control those caches and programmers aren't even sure what's actually happening (let alone actually having formal verification).

Large, Out-of-order chips use millions of lines of code to implement their algorithms in hardware. They do lots of unit testing and some formal verification of the smaller bits, but the sum of the parts isn't formally verified.

It takes a half-decade to create a chip without formal verification. With complete formal verification, we might not even have the first Pentium ready to ship yet (if ever).

While we're on the topic, very few programming language implementations are formally verified. For example, L4 was verified using Isabelle which is written in StandardML and compiled using the PolyML compiler. I don't believe the PolyML compiler is formally verified. This means that Isabelle isn't formally verified when compiled which means that L4 isn't formally verified either (technically speaking). And of course, even if all of these were verified, there's the "trusting trust" issue and the fact that the compiler must be running on a formally verified CPU.

I appreciate striving for formal verification, but code verifiable from the bottom-up is a very long way away from happening.
The Philippines call center isn't that surprising to me. It was a US colony for 48 years. During US colonialism in the Philippines a school system was established with English as the primary instruction language. By 1950 20% of the population spoke English. After WWII a large portion of their media was in English. The Philippines 1987 Constitution established Filipino and English as co-official languages.

I live in an area with a lot of Philippine immigrants. Even kids that just immigrated here speak English as well as the locals.

10% increase in my city with the numbers it sees could mean just two additional cycling deaths a year. That's the thing with these statistics, the numbers are so small to begin with, that just a few more events are liable to lead to huge percent increases. These few more events could well be within the variance of this measure you observe year over year, and may not be a real trend.

> This works fine until the table gets big.

> Then most of your statuses are Complete and finding an ever decreasing percentage of Incomplete rows will result in essentially a table-scan

This is absolutely not true. Performance of your lookups will depend on the total number of "pending" items and never on the table size.

Generally indexes on boolean columns are useless due to low cardinality, but in this specific example they'll work just fine. If you have a 100 "pending" items in a table with billions of rows, search on "pending" status will never trigger a fullscan, only a 100 lookups. You can even make your index partial, so essentially your index will be your mini-queue.

Idempotency is a valid point, but it is as hard with queues as it is with databases. Exactly-once delivery is generally not possible in distributed systems (in the real world at least, where you don't own every node). Queues won't magically solve it for you, they need to implement the same locking mechanisms as the database.

Partially this is why AWS SQS boasts to be almost infinitely scaleable, but limits you at 300 (!) rps for FIFO queues.
Partially it's modern speedy networks; but partially it's also the player.

There are people who need (and people who believe they need) 165HZ or heck 240HZ screen, 8000Hz Mouse, and notice every millisecond of lag. And there are people like me and apparently Scalzi :-).

My experience with GeforceNow was perfect. I'm sure somebody with better reflexes and more into competitive multiplayer would find it complete unacceptable.
once you have the PR, just point your code to your PR branc. it will be fairly easy to pick up changed from the main repo from time to time anyways.

Especially in corporations, do not make your project depend on things not under your control, or you will stop shipping.
Manhattan has a lot of car traffic. Short of the urban core of Philly, DC, Chicago, SF, or my favorite parts of Brooklyn (which also have a lot of car traffic), nothing seems nearly as walkable in the US. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see congestion pricing and fewer cars on the streets in Manhattan.

The best walkable suburbs I've visited, Montclair and Red Bank in NJ and Ardmore, PA seem pretty sad, small, and boring in comparison. Fine for a visit, but I wouldn't wan to spend three days in a row there.
That is what I meant. The other person misread it. My point is that I got a far more efficient home server machine to run Linux on. The Mini as I have it sips power like my Raspberry Pis while having the computational grunt to be far more useful

This part goes without saying. If some maintainer does not want to do this, the framework will not become popular.
Oh, but he isn't wrong. It's quite likely that your 8000 inhabitants (which are a lot more than 100 families) live close enough together, just because of lack of giant lawns, so that your typical store owner is getting more than 100 customers.

So yes, it's not that you can't have single families, and it's not really about people having cars or not, it's the density, and therefore, it's the lawns and the streets that are too wide, making the number of places that you can go to in a 15 minute walk far smaller
I used to administer instruments (tests) like that.

In most cases it was a successful and enjoyable activity, and there wasn't this confidentiality issue because we structured around that.

However I also made it clear that the whole point was understanding how to embrace differences. So sharing one's personal reported result, while optional, was done a lot.

But in a couple of cases, people like the boss took the activity way too seriously, no matter what caveats or warnings they received. So either the (non)-sharer or the requester raised the stakes for themselves without realizing what they were doing, and I had to have a talk with them.

It's not really a good idea to seriously rely on results from a test with some known, significant, and published (by the authors) accuracy, validity, and test-retest error. This is why the "reported result" is generally considered inferior on its own. It's also known to repeat back to you what you tell it, but in different words / models.

So, since the boss may decide to raise the stakes like that and make things awkward, etc--these days along with a bunch of other colleagues in the field I use a format that's more like a flexible, open-ended sorting exercise. It's less about who you are, and more about ways you might tend to think about things, for example.

This works around the issues above, and naturally accommodates other conclusions, like yep, some people will rate themselves differently here at work than they would at home in private, for example.

But also: We can train people to recognize the processes that they use to communicate and to take in information. Thus it doesn't matter so much what they think they "are", or what someone else thinks. The process speaks for itself. It's no longer an identity issue so much.

It's an interesting field in which there have been a lot of changes since the personality tests of the 1960s...

I'd guess the CEO is creating opportunity for employees to say things to the CEO that they wouldn't be willing to say to some others.

(Maybe employees have feedback on mid-managers, their team, or something else the company is doing, and don't feel they can raise it lower on the org chart, or haven't been successful at that.)

If it turns out employees do have something to say, and not comfortable with everyone hearing it, then they have to ask themselves how much they trust the CEO to honor the confidentiality commitment, and not throw the messenger under the bus.

I'd guess intent of not-anonymous might be that be CEO wants people willing to stand behind what they say, which would be a desirable property of an organization. Or maybe it makes the information more actionable.

Also be aware that company staff might be able to determine what individuals say, due to "endpoint security" mechanisms, other IT implementation, trivial traffic analysis, etc.
this is a bad take. people work on problems they find interesting. it follows that you write about them because you can. the author has worked on kernel hypervisors, databases and now doing stuff around code generation. btw their code is apache 2 and on github, what they sell is the hosted version.

Although I haven’t had the chance to use it extensively, my spongy wonder feels great! No more pain while riding. It really does help.
> It’s just that these small groceries cannot outcompete supermarkets once people are in the habit of going everywhere by car.

This is true to a limited extent. If small grocers and bakeries were allowed to setup in mixed use areas they would do a whole lot better. However sticking them an average of 3 miles from their customers in a horrible strip mall kills them.

I would happily pay a premium for having a grocer just down the street instead of having to go 4+ miles to a supermarket. Being able to get a gallon of milk and some onions in 10-15 minutes from a place just down the street will always beat driving to, parking at, and walking around a 10 acre supermarket on a 50 acre parking lot. Just the stress of dodging all the parking lot speedsters is more than enough to keep me far from that place.
Ok, that was terrible.
The concept is great, and compared to other companies, i trust duckduckgo more...but, there still a for-profit company (nothing wrong with that)...so how will they sustain this? Maybe i'm not so smart with funding models, but i would feel better if there was some sort of pricing...to make me feel like as a user i'm not the product...am i paranoid for being suspicious?
Based on my experience of engaging people, more likely that there’s another explanation than they were intentionally making a false statement. That said, I agree that I didn’t see any proof bots were being used, but to some people any form of automation is “robotic” or using a bot. My experience is that there’s big difference between using automated workflow off of Twitter and single person running a bot campaign on Twitter. Also hard to define “authentic” since any media campaign by default is not authentic, but huge difference between people doing something they personally support with an account they control — and doing it for money using accounts they don’t control.
