As someone who lived there for awhile, was going to mention Atlanta too. And I'd assume similar latitude cities like Birmingham, Charlotte, and Dallas?

Cities operate with limited budgets. It does not make financial sense to prepare for some relatively rare events, versus allocating that money to better prepare for likely events.

If Atlanta had a fleet of snowplows, they'd be unused 75% of winters and used for only a couple days in 20%. Bad investment.
> As someone with a loud anxious mind who's also prone to auditory sensory overload I find certain sounds such as those found in Shoegaze music shuts this all off.

This is one of the main reasons for my love of extreme metal and other abrasive, noisy or drone genres. There are even shoegaze black metal bands (blackgaze) such as Andavald. The cacophony of the music drowns out the mental noise and I can focus on what I'm doing. Happy, up beat stuff, or clear vocals, seal focus and becomes an annoying distraction. Though classical music or certain instrumental music is soothing to me as well.

I remember reading that von Neumann was a fan of turning on the TV or radio to very loud volumes when he was working at home. Likely to achieve the same effect.
(Appreciate the feedback! We clearly need to continue to improve how we explain the product. :))

It's probably easiest to explain in terms of what a developer does on Airplane:

1. Dev writes code (e.g. see our Getting Started for views[0]) - this can be simple Python scripts, JS views, shell scripts, etc.

2. Dev uses the `airplane` CLI locally to run and test the code

3. Dev runs `airplane deploy` or pushes to GitHub to deploy the code to Airplane

4. Dev's teammate (or dev) can now visit app.airplane.dev to run the code (views, tasks, runbooks) - the execution defaults to Airplane's servers, but you can also use our self-hosted agents[1] to move the execution (data plane) to your own cloud environment.

It's similar to GitHub actions in architecture (but for a different domain).

Close. The first part is fair.

A more real-life example.

I am a pharma company and I want to execute a query on some hospital data. The hospital doesn't want to give me the data in plaintext but they are fine with me getting some aggregate insights from their data that are not PII.

Now lets assume I decide to do that using FHE. I can now compute my query on the encrypted hospital data and I never see the plaintext data.

What do we "win" in this scenario? We can do this computation wherever we want because no matter where the computation is done, the data will be encrypted, so no risk for the infra provider to see that data.

What we don't "automatically win" in this scenario? 1. Guarantees that indeed I am running an SQL query on that data and not something else along with it -> That is only possible to guarantee if the FHE software is properly audited (same with any software tbh, but easier with FHE and similar techs because of the integrity guarantees due to encryption). 2. Guarantees that the SQL query I made will not leak patient data in the end (through linking additional data, or diff attacks) (same with any other SQL query)

People who are deep into these technologies will say "yes of course" thats not an FHE problem. And that is true. But every FHE vendor I've seen blur that difference by not specifying what kind of attacks they protect against when they talk about "protecting privacy".

Heck, most of them they don't even talk about the attestation process and how their clients can make sure that they can trust the software running in encrypted form. Yes, these hold true for all software, but the point (for me) of encryption in-use is to make sure we hold software to a higher trust standard than today, not just replace a trusted party with another one.

> With COVID people are still behaving fearfully and there's nothing I can do about it other than suffer the harvest of ongoing social distancing stupidity

With Covid there are still hundreds of thousands of Americans who died in the past year, and probably millions more who were newly hit with significant chronic disease. Probably at least a hundred thousand more Americans will die from Covid in the coming year. Many people are either at high risk themselves or routinely interact with friends or relatives who are at high risk.

Acting carefully in times and places where there is substantial community spread is entirely reasonable behavior.

> all the 100s of stupid anxiety-driven behaviors and changes that got implemented the past few years

Tens of millions of people in the world have literally died, in the most significant public health crisis in a century, and you seem to think it is all some kind of joke.

Instead of just declaring that everyone who is different from you is “stupid”, perhaps try to be a bit more charitable.
There is a penn and teller episode where they argued that globalization was creating world peace. Basically, when everyone’s economies are so entangled, they said, nobody would want to go to war because of how expensive it would be.

Their model, I think, only works for democracies. When a dictator controls a country, and their quality of life remains unchanged and revolves mostly around delusions of grandeur (like an impetuous monarch centuries ago), that dynamic isn’t enough of a deterrent. It only works when the leadership is sensitive to the well being of the country and it’s people

You haven't asked for feedback, but here you go anyway: If you're wanting to write proper English, you should first write English correctly.

For example, sentences begin with capital letters. Your parenthetical word should have been "reasonable," not "reasonably."

If your English were correct, one might think that readers just aren't putting in the needed effort. Since your English contains multiple errors, I believe that's asking too much of readers.

Aren't those upsides and downsides just a direct consequence of using existing self-guiding missiles? AMRAAM, AIM-9x, IRIS-T are all existing, battle tested, ready to go systems. My understanding is that the US intends to kill air capacity with its own planes, unlike the russian strategy of huge ground launched missile capacity. The NASAMS is for fellow NATO countries that don't have a substantial air force and need viable shorter range missile based AA.

Using Proxychains in JMeter
Remote distributed load testing is one of the performance models used to measure the performance (or latency) of the application under test, as it helps in scaling the test. Performance testing using IP spoofing helps in testing the application from the end-user location simulation. Like any other commercial tools, JMeter also supports distributed load testing fashion, but as an engineer, we need to spend effort for the initial setup. Cloud vendors like AWS or Azure have their own flavor of distributed load testing model which heavily relies on JMeter on the backend. In this blog post, I am presenting another perspective to measure the performance of the application using Proxychains.
Not sure there is anything official, but I just uncovered this sentiment in my research after scouring tons of chat forums, etc. while researching GUI toolkits. There seems to be an understanding that QtWidgets is in "maintenance mode" and I'm told hasn't seen any new features in a while. I've also noticed many existing projects discussing migrating to QML (many don't, however, due to the amount of work).

Blocking wind power and grid efforts everywhere, stopping planned storage efforts, man we even shut down pump storages etc over the last decades that would be so necessary to have any chance to support and realize base load with renewables. Right now we are shedding cheap bio gas and wind power production again (and that given we build up much too little as we could have) while the power stock exchanges have fun gambling.

On top this constant nuclear narrative, which is not even much significant for current power production, this is all beyond any funny.

Not entirely sure this is avoidable with multicast media that must be self-funding.

You end up with perverse incentives left and right when you make media primarily a for-profit venture.

Many things:

* Blocked Biogas by imposing a limit on installed capacity

* blocked solar by imposing a limit on yearly added installed capacity (1GW)

* introduced the so called EEG-Umlage that made storage technologies unprofitable when used to store renewable energy

* introduced a shitshow of bureaucracy to prevent new solar and wind projects from coming online

* introduced another shitshow of bureaucracy to prevent new solar and wind projects from coming online on top of the existing shitshow

* undermine EU law by just not implementing it, for example regarding neighbours giving energy to each other

* introduced redicoulus "Abstandsregeln"/distance regulations, so for example open pit mines that use demolitions have an allowed min distance of 300m and windfarms 1000m

* When China poured billions into the companies forming China's solar industry, while German's companies had no help with their investments and funding

Maybe new technology should be restricted by default until regulation can catch up with it. I'm not sure, but the 'cheap shirts benefit everybody too much to pump the brakes' argument for unfettered innovation leaves me deeply unimpressed.

IMHO the best argument for unfettered innovation is the impossibility of slowing innovation globally; it can be slowed in one country, but that country can't force all the rest to get with that program and will eventually be overtaken by technologically superior foes.
How would that work for chat programs? I mean maybe Apple News could implement that but as far I know normal push notifications have no concept of filtering like that. I don't think pushes are E2E (they can't be, we send them as plain text to the APN endpoints) so Apple could filter but that seems more trouble than it's worth.
I get the same feeling as well. This approach may well be eternal demo-ware, and you'll actually need AGI (or manual direction by a real human) to get to 100%.

The key to predicting technological advancement, that is so often misunderstood by technologists, is the S-curve.

Laypeople tend to think everything is linear, technologists tend to think everything is exponential; more often than not, reality tends to be sigmoidal. Technologies have exponential takeoffs followed by logarithmic plateaus. We're clearly well into the exponential phase of deep-learning ML, but it's only a matter of time before this approach hits its logarithmic phase.

Of course, the hard part of sigmoidal prediction is determining where in the curve we are. Does the current paradigm have an even steeper part ahead of it? Maybe. And yet, we could just as easily be right in the middle of the function, with a leveling off coming as the state of the art gives way to incremental improvements.
The USA has fairly lax laws regarding reverse engineering. It's just that proprietary software EULAs typically forbid it -- and you have to agree to a binding EULA in order to use the software.

There were a number of court cases, many involving game consoles (incl. Sega v. Accolade, Galoob v. Nintendo, Sony v. Connectix) that establish that as long as you're not distributing verbatim or other infringing copies of another company's work such as software or chip designs (and you haven't signed any contractual agreements otherwise), you're in the clear. To establish that you are in the clear, clean-room reverse engineering is the recommended approach: one party does the reverse engineering yielding a spec; the other implements the software based on the spec.

> I fully expect politicians in other countries

Most of the politicians comments I'm referring to are from British politicians, even within the conservative party. This isn't jealousy, it's marvelling at incompetence.

You still seek to play down both the comments of a range of people from a range of different viewpoints and the actual market movements. And you're doing it in a very disingenuous fashion. You know as well as I do she's come under criticism from her own party, some from those within her party that supported her leadership bid, as well as luminaries from all over the financial world in multiple countries.

> When the Tories reduced it significantly (to 20%), revenue quickly went UP

In an entirely different economic landscape to the spiraling inflationary one we're in today. I'm not sure a cartoonised graph from the daily mail is evidence of anything very much.

> You may well be right about your own situation. We're all different. My employers value what I did and paid me accordingly.

The point is that labelling high earners as the most productive class is a laugh. Far from all of them are. I like to think I earn my money too, but I've seen a lot of people that don't, who find and cling on to these posts though a combination of connections, grift and luck.

> I'm losing count of the free cash grants this Tory govt is handing out to help working class people with their energy bills. ... It's unprecedented.

Yes, that's the point, it's unprecedented, it's fucking awful for ordinary people on average incomes, huge inflation pushing up the prices of everything, interest rate rises making mortgages more expensive, rocketing energy costs (even if they are capped they are historically very high). In the midst of that, these policies make things worse. More expensive mortgages will knock on to the housing market falling, for example. This is not just "idealogically problematic" in some wishy-washy leftie way, it's not just something to be disagreed with because of your particular economic leaning, it's not just targetting the wrong people (though it certainly seems to be doing that) or the politics of envy - it's actually fucking stupid.
It's not necessarily about the machine's raw performance, but capacity. The compute is a shared utility, and the utilization of supercomputer is quite high. We expect science to grow exponentially. So, compute demand grows exponentially too. The cloud is crazy expensive compared to supercomputing -- you don't want missing compute to hold back research.
Saw a clip of someone from Idaho as I recall, explaining that his raise was $1.15 total.
Same here and likewise baffled. TFA says:

> Europe has nearly half a million telecom towers and most of them have battery backups that last around 30 minutes to run the mobile antennas.

Which seems bonkers to me. Perhaps they deploy incredibly small batteries because they're engineered for a different outage profile than the US? Or perhaps the reporter is quoting something inappropriately -- traditional large sites with many hours, and many new small sites with no backup at all, might well average out to 30 minutes.

I think there's real work to be done on improving bring-up time when power returns, though. I worked on the EVDO rollout and rebooting a site after work would take 20-30 minutes because it's something that's only expected to happen once in a blue moon. I believe if they relaxed GPS timing tolerances a bit and optimized a few other things, this could be shortened to 5-ish minutes without a whole lot of work.
