OK, thanks. Got it. So the main benefit of femtostats is the single container and the small memory footprint.
I was wondering if anyone had thought about using this to experiment with the planner.

The engineering and support teams at Greenplum, a fork of Postgres, have a tool (minirepro[0]) which, given a sql query, can grab a minimal set of DDLs and the associated statistics for the tables involved in the query that can then be loaded into a "local" GPDB instance. Having the DDL and the statistics meant the team was able to debug issues in the optimizer (example [1]), without having access to a full set of data. This approach, if my understanding is correct, could be enabled in the browser with this Postgres WASM capability.

The entire point of your comment is manipulating human beings.

Advertising often just seeks to make a consumer aware of a certain product. If that is manipulation, so is pretty much any content that seeks to change what people know.
We have seen pretty much everything during the last years, so I can easily figure
a situation in which another company made a better deepfake and contacted Deepcake pretending to be the real Bruce Willis, so that they acquired the rights from a deepfake instead of the real actor.
You are perfectly demonstrating the total inability of left-wing people to govern effectively. The Christians make up a huge percentage of people who oppose climate reform. If you want non-violent, non-authoritarian action on environmental protection, they need to be on board. Why is this principle difficult for you and your co-believers to understand?

Sure legal systems are nice, but they are not required for Bitcoin to work. That's evidenced by the widespread use of Bitcoin in darknet markets for example.

And what do you mean by "Bitcoin lacks these protections"? Bitcoin does not somehow preclude you from using the legal system. You can still sue people or report thefts...

I'd like to see what kind of electrical infra you need to (even partially) charge 20k cars in 5 minutes.

That's about one Tsar Bomba of energy.

This is too high by 4 orders of magnitude. 100 kWh is a larger than average battery capacity for a contemporary BEV [1]. That's 2000 MWh for 20,000 vehicles charging from empty (modulo charging inefficiencies). 1 megaton is 4.18 * 10^15 joules or 1,162,000 MWh [2] while the Tsar Bomba had a yield of at least 50 megatons as tested [3]. So charging 20k electric cars from empty requires about 0.003% as much energy as the Tsar Bomba released.

How would structure your dating app to be different? Presumably you’d have expenses.

Maybe you could make it open source? But sounds like you’re gonna have a hard time staying ahead of abuse. Not to mention attracting enough people for the app to be useful is gonna be difficult if you’re not spending money on marketing.

Maybe you could have a monthly fee? But then who’s gonna use it? And there’s already plenty of established sites like that.

Well maybe you could have a virtual equivalent of buying someone a drink? Ah yes, we end up back on roses. Is it perfect? No. But doesn’t sound like any option is.

> The data doesn't leave FB though so a reasonable person could argue why is this worse?

Because the user has a relationship with the grocery store application and as far as they are aware, only interacting with the grocery store application. They aren’t given the knowledge or opportunity to decide whether to send their data to Facebook or not. All Apple are requiring is that the user be given that knowledge and opportunity.

> it would adversely impact their numbers in the current quarter, and well, a significant proportion of their total comp was bonuses tied to those numbers

So much about how terrible things are in general can be tied back to this one simple concept.
To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with that. I'm just saying that individual applications can track those metrics for their own properties.

And, to be fair, while I don't want Apple tracking that data (however useful/useless it may be), I wouldn't want Facebook tracking it either.
There is a big piece of missing context in these studies -- the significance of the results that could not be reproduced. The fact that mammalian genes are longer than the mRNA they encode (on average by a factor of 5 or so, and sometimes by a factor of 100 or more) was a paradigm shift, and we know that it is true, not because the original experiments have been reproduced, but because in the past 40 years, the observation has been confirmed millions of times (20,000 times per mammalian genome). Likewise, we just keep getting more and more data supporting common ancestry of genes (and organisms).

It is important to remember that the "median" paper is cited less than 5 times, which means that there may be a large fraction of results that cannot be reproduced, but also have had little effect on science. There have also been highly cited papers that could not be reproduced but whose results were correct (break through experiments can be hard to reproduce), and there are highly cited papers that were simply wrong. But it is hard to measure these phenomena in an un-biased way.

The exact reproducibility of a paper is certainly important, but science is much more about building on results than reproducing experiments.

Would prefer if this were worded more simply.
the search term for this is intersection. The posting lists for the two terms are intersected, then the results are ranked. But there are a lot more steps in a production search engine.

The long and short of it is if you really want the full results, just join google, join the search team, and then get enough experience so that you can do full queries over the docjoins directly. This was part of Norvig's pitch to attract researchers a while ago. For a research project, I built a regular expression that matched DNA sequences and spat out the list of all pages containing what looked like DNA and then annotated the pages so in principle you could have done dna:<whatever sequence> but obviously that was not a goal for the search team.

The "model" is not the hard part! If a pretrained model is generalized enough and valuable enough then it can exist as simple API or a runtime, it stops being a "model." If you have the engineering chops to deploy models in production for your application then deploying a pretrained model is trivial. If its valuable enough to the business then squeezing a few more points by fine tuning the model is worth it.

I'm downvoting you for attacking a straw-man.

1) the capacity should exist for the EU to be energy independent

2) capacity that cannot be attained need not be supplied by only a single source

3) peaceful countries exist in great amounts but we would consider them either too far to be serviceable without impact to the planet (importing/shipping fuel from Australia or the USA); or we would consider ourselves to be exploiting people (Africa).
Conversion is not even sufficient. Conversions tell you how many people went through your ad and successfully bought something, but the value of ads is *how many people who weren't already going to buy something bought something through the ad*.

E.g. people might be seeing an ad for Target after typing "target" in Google. The number of conversions through that doesn't matter and should be discounted. People might be seeing an ad or hitting an affiliate link for a website they already use regularly, if they go there hours later it doesn't mean your ad is effective.

Sigh, I don’t believe Apple’s ad network tracks people to the same extent as Google, Facebook, etc.

But the mere existence of it undercuts the privacy claims and creates a giant moral hazard (if AppStore search is lousy then people have to buy ads/sponsored keywords, and the clear desire for ad businesses to start invading privacy).

I really wish it didn’t exist :-/

<plaintext> is also fun. Unlike <xmp> you can't get out of it with a closing tag.

Aside: plaintext is one reason browser DOM is a superset of HTML. By which I mean you can add <plaintext> to the middle of your DOM through JavaScript and everything is hunky-dory, but it's impossible to serialize the DOM to HTML so it'll HTML-parse back to the same DOM (at least if the serializer doesn't produce any JavaScript).

Image maps unlocked expression on the web for me when I was a kid. I enjoyed coding websites, but felt creatively limited by what I knew to be possible with simple HTML and CSS. When I realized I could turn any graphics I made into live web elements without having to fit adjacent pieces into a layout I could simulate with tables, I felt I could finally make a website that reflected my artistic self.

I think I published the last version of my personal website that I made with an image map in 2004 or so. I've been trying to think of a good use for one over the last couple years but haven't come up with anything yet.

The last really cool image map-based website I remember was Margot's Room by Emily Carroll [1]. Dunno if she coded it, but it's her comic.

Not only affecting the shrinking of the river systems, but also degrading the quality of the water.

I live in Iowa, home of 3.15 million people and 24 million pigs. Tile in the fields and a complete lack of buffer between fields and streams sends massive amounts of fertilizer into the waterways and ultimately down the Mississippi. ~85% of the land in the state is dedicated to farming in one way or another, and the amount of manure which can be spread per acre is based on crop production per acre formulas from the 1970's. Breeding work has increased corn yield by about 65%, allowing that much more manure to be spread.

I recently found this podcast which talks about water issues around the state, produced by University of Iowa professors.
