Welcome to every single Python ML project - dependency hell will quickly kill any enthusiasm one may have for trying out projects. It really feels archaic to have these issues with such cutting edge technology.
I've been practicing for 28 years across the country, admitted in two states and nine federal district courts. I've never seen an order like this and in fact have never seen a judge permit a "letter brief" like the original filing. (I suspect this is an SDNY quirk.)

Not saying there's anything improper about it, but it looks really bizarre to me. Why the judge didn't have one of her clerks slap it into a Word document with a short caption and file that on ECF is totally beyond me. And as a matter of style, it seems amateurish and haphazard.
No idea, I haven't been in the presence of a DVD in years
Hm. Thing is as profitable big tech companies get larger and the TAM of tech sectors grow it makes some sense that early stage valuations would increase.

This is both because there is more opportunity for a company to scale, but also because when you have several trillion dollar tech companies out there happy to acquire innovative tech companies then multi billion dollar exits become much more feasible. Companies like Microsoft are making close to $100b a year today and they have to put that money to work somewhere. Google's digital ad business was big relative to the size of the internet in 2010, but it was absolutely tiny in comparison to today. And it's not just the size of the digital ads market, but everything - digital audio/video content, ecommerce, hosting, social, productivity tools, etc. All companies operating in tech sectors today have far more potential than they did in 2010 if they execute well.

So no, in my opinion 20x EV/sales isn't that crazy for a good SaaS company. Profitable tech companies at scale with high gross margins typically trade at 5-10x sales because if you can achieve operating margins of say 30-40% (which isn't uncommon for SaaS companies) then you're basically trading at a 20-30x projected earnings multiple. Which yes is high compared to the historical market average (15-20), but if you're also growing at 50% YoY and have steady recurring revenue streams then that's not a hard multiple to grow into at all.

Perhaps what was stupid about 2020-2021 valuations was that a lot of investors assumed that the extremely low interest rates and accommodative monetary policy was going to persist. Some companies did trade at valuations very hard to justify without the low interest rates and pandemic-era tech growth rates (Zoom, Shopify, Peloton, etc).

I'm sharing because I seem to have a fairly controversial take on this and I don't know why. It seems to me everyone has just forgotten that companies like FB traded at sales multiples in the mid-teens for years after they went public and they haven't been bad investment at all. It depends on the company obviously, but a company growing at 50% YoY with 80% gross margins would be ridiculously cheap at a valuation any less than 10x sales based conservative earning projections.

In my opinion most of the reason for this crash is just macro headwinds. Tech companies saw a huge growth boom in 2020-2021 which has now reversed. Interest rate risks have also been dragging on public valuations and this caused a drop in sentiment for tech investments generally. My guess is that in a couple of years once we're through this period tech valuations will trend back to 2018-2019 levels. But I guess we'll see.

Finally this current crash is hardly isolated to tech. Companies like Fedex, Starbucks and Nike have all seen ~50% valuation declines from their peaks this year.

doesn't twitch let you just go directly to the streamer you want to see?

why are people making excuses about being camgirls or not? and also is this misogyny? or something like people are needing to pretend they aren't paying for some sexually attractive things? I don't really know Twitch's community, I remember teenagers though

Just tap F, instead of holding it. Holding it brings up the equivalent of a context menu, like right clicking in a 2D application. Some items have more than one action, rather than make you open up a dialog to pick from a list of actions, they tried to simplify it into the context menu. For what it's worth, the actual design goal is that most things are in-world buttons or screens, and that the context menu is less necessary.

To me this looks like a desperate move by YT to increase profitability. The problem is that YT has forgotten the elephant in the room.

YT's censorship of certain political content needs to stop, but they instead remove the "Dislike" counts.

YT's search is broken and everyone knows it, but they instead focus on making it even harder to consume quality content at high-resolution (like this link suggests).

They took a great idea and turned it into a giant cesspool with some gold here and there. No wonder people don't want to go Premium.

The argument is a bit undercut when a staggeringly expensive show such as House of the Dragon is the most watched show to ever debut on HBO, and features mainly UK actors and accents.

Especially when you factor in the pirating audience on top of this, it’s a massively popular show and among the most-watched in the US.

Not saying you have no point at all. Personally I have a harder time with the accents in contemporary shows aimed at UK audiences such as IT Crowd because they can at times speak faster and with more slang. But I don’t think it’s purely about disliking accents.
If we interpret the claim as "100% of people who have fallen in accidentally have died", that seems fairly plausible.
I really like the idea of using the motor as a combined power source/user interface component! As the proud owner of a 2004 sedan, hacks to get digital audio on the original stereo are a common daydream of mine.

Suppose I had an implementation for a (MT safe) all in memory KV store based on tries, for example where the memory overhead is low -- certainly lower than hashing. Is this something I can plug into FDB?

> When we do things such as “screening for down syndrome” [1], we are already actively engaged in a eugenics project, but we don’t think of it as one because it’s the kind of intentional genetic control we like.

Historically, many cases of "eugenics" involved a lack of informed consent, even blatant coercion. That screening is entirely voluntary–you have the right to say "no", and I know couples who have (due to moral objections grounded in their religious beliefs). That's a very big difference.
you're right, in fact in California state courts it's required to submit a proposed order with a motion.

But no, each judge generally does NOT get to write their own rules of formatting. Districts (at the federal level) go to great lengths to ensure that things are uniform in that jurisdiction, for the ease of the clerk's office. Someone looking at this PDF would likely not immediately know it was an order. State courts are even more uniform, with statewide rules on typeface, font size, margin width, whether something must or can be included in a single document or broken out into a separate filing, number of lines of empty space at the top of a page, etc etc

Could you clarify?
I'm having trouble understanding the equivalency because "Military industry complex" is a noun and "defund the military" is a verb (more-or-less)
I thought I did, but just thinking about what temperature is, i.e. the degree of hotness or coldness something is, so it relates to heat, which is the energy transferred from something hot to something cold, so it relates to energy, the more energy something has the hotter it is, the less energy the colder. So I am utterly confused now why wind cools or even can be cold, and wind chill should be a contradiction, and still stuffy air should be cold. Wind has more energy than still air, so wind should be hotter and still air cooler. Wind turbines deployed on a global scale should solve Global Warming even if no energy is generated, because they should slow down the energetic and hot wind, cooling the atmosphere and the planet with it.
The Office is a bad example in this context though, because it's the one show where the US version was (arguably) an improvement over the UK version, and way more popular than the UK version even outside of the US.
Agreed - stock price is irrelevant for the most part - it's the actual business and cash flows that are suffering and I think it's long past time there was some correction in the number of projects and people working on them.

You can't "snuff out" something that doesn't exist yet.

That aside, if that were indeed our goal, then we should be forcing people to breed as much as possible, even if it causes short-term quality of life decrease - since population growth is exponential, every human not born today that could be born means billions less in that hypothetical future.
>Land is absolutely cheap in some places in the world, but any place you'd actually want to live in this house is going to have expensive land

You are probably correct if you restrict to exactly $2K.

However, right now on Zillow there is an 18+ acre lot advertised at $65K, which is 17 miles or about 25 minutes drive from the capitol of the fourth largest state in the US.

That's about $3.5K per acre.

My first thought is it's not buildable, but it says there's electricity and a well. Suggests it would be good for a hunter, but I don't know what a hunter would consider adequate.

It's exactly the same script.
1. The bucket is the domain. If you have a self hosted, single tenant minio instance, you might not need buckets, it doesn't really hurt you to just set up one bucket, but for people that do need buckets, it would be a lot more difficult to build them on something that didn't have a similar concept.

2. I'm with you on this one. At least as long as it is over https. The signing process might make more sense in the context of plaintext http. And it might make the implementation of signed urls easier, idk. But, yeah definitely one of the rough points of the s3 api

3. An upload can just be a simple PUT in many cases. And for the cases where you do need a multipart upload: The Range header doesn't work the way you suggest, it is for requesting a range for the response, not giving a range for the data in the request. And even if you used a different custom header, you would need some way to indicate when you have uploaded everything. Maybe the API could be simplified a little bit, but I think quite a bit of it is essential complexity for the cases where you need multipart upload.

4. There are use cases where you want to use a different delimiter. And it's worth noting that as an object store, the data isn't really organized into folders, the / is just part of the object key. Definitely agree that it should support a JSON response though. And I do think it would make sense for / to be the default delimiter, because that is usually what people want.

> Basically I want to be able to use object storage with simple `fetch` and few lines of code. Without all that SDK nonsense.

If it weren't for 2, this would be possible. And that is a big reason why I wish the authentication was simpler.

All that said, I do wish there was a standardized specification for an object storage API, that all the different providers adhered to, rather than everyone making an "s3 compatible" API, where exactly what it means to be compatible with S3 varies from product to product.

> First, it’s important to understand that managers are held to outcomes.

Respectfully, I disagree.

First, let me point out that when I say "popularity" I don't mean friends necessarily in the nepotism sense (in response to your later point). "Popularity" is a reductive term but still a relatively accurate one. What's really going on here is the intangible factors lead other around you to interpret the same set of facts charitably or not almost arbitrarily.

A big factor here is similarity in terms of demographic factors and background. This so often gets wrapped up "culture fit", which itself can be a euphemism for more problematic biases.

The example I like to give is this: a person may work on a project for a half that never ships. It may not even produce an MVP. Given this set of facts you will people who will say "we learned a lot and will take those learnings into future projects" all the way to "this team failed to deliver a prototype and as such we canned the project".

What's driving this are social factors.

Managers are subject to the same social forces that drive this interpretation. A given manager may get credit for dealing with reports that aren't necessarily bad enough to be exited but would otherwise be a headache for someone else in the org. Or that manager may be blamed for their team being perceived as low-performing even though they're given projects doomed to fail (eg under-resourced).

It's also worth noting that with any form of stack ranking or performance quotas, another factor that comes into play is horse-trading. That is, different managers are competing for a limited pool of ratings. You will find that a manager has decided someone should be promoted and that report will find themselves high on stack ranking as a result. There's an implicit quid pro quo here because other managers can get your support (as a manager) when one of their reports gets put up for promotion.

> Of course, if you believe your entire management chain to be incompetent

It's not competence. It's biases masquerading as objective determinations and an implicit over-reliance on social cues and factors all while managers have incentives that may come at the expense of those of their reports.

If you want that promise you can reserve capacity in various ways. Google has reservations. Folks use this for DR, your org can get a pool of shared ones going if you are going to have various teams leaning on GPU etc.

The promise of the cloud is that you can flexibly spin up machines if available, and easily spin down, no long term contracts or CapEx etc. They are all pretty clear that there are capacity limits under the hood (and your account likely has various limits on it as a result).
