>Religion, for example, has always been good at dividing us into sects with competing narrative beliefs. A lot of the emotion, tension and conflict that results from a church schism

Usually it was the opposite: emotion, tension and conflict for political and national/group interest reasons, were translated into church language.

That's why the religion divisions were seldom, if ever, within the same demographic, but between groups that already had historical grievances or were beginning to have something to divide (as nations, classes, cultural groups, private interests, and so on).

Of course it's never 100% clean, as there would also be a feedback loop - but the underlying cause were almost always some interest, not theological.
Database analyst for a large communication company here.

I have similar doubts about AWS for certain kinds of intensive business analysis. Not API based transactions, but back-office analysis where complex multi-join queries are run in sequence against tables with 10s of millions of records.

We do some of this with SQL servers running right on the desktop (and one still uses Excel with VLOOKUP). We have a pilot project to try these tasks in a new Azure instance. I look forward to seeing how it performs, and at what cost.
Leftover Star Wars Sets
Why? Is there an alternative? Considering opportunity cost in which parts of my entrepreneurial endeavors I choose to spend time on; self hosting web-servers for a blog does not have anything resembling good ROI.
I find the notion incredibly selfish. My family is accustomed to their lifestyle. There are certain realities that can occur that would require a reduction in that lifestyle, but I should not deliberately cause them to happen.

Sometimes the right thing to do is to sacrifice your dreams for others.

In biology and medicine, pubmed is the most common ( https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/ ) .

For general purpose you can use google scholar ( https://scholar.google.com/ ).

When you find an interesting article, both these tools will allow you to both seach backwards for articles that it cites, and search forwards for articles that cite it in turn. Repeated application can quickly help you expand the pool of potentially relevant articles (especially once you surface review articles in the citation chain, which can help tie things together and/or let you jump across to associated topics) .

Finally, both of these tools yield you a DOI which you can plug into scihub. You can also install the extension "Sci-Hub X Now!" to do this last bit for you. ( https://github.com/gchenfc/sci-hub-now )
But... this is wrong. The vast majority of the time, yes, but "requires" is a simplification. The amount of work required is massively variable and Gladwell skates right over that nuance. Prodigies exist! I've met some, they can be really nauseating to the rest of us, lol. There are more of them out there than you would think because they are often so screwed up in other ways that they don't become famous. Talk to anyone who has taught hundreds of music students and they can tell you some crazy stories. However, prodigies aren't much use if you can't count on them showing up to the gig. (Some savants are fortunate enough to get the support they need to function professionally, but many aren't)
Lucky you! When I see some recent projects using Spring, there is almost no Java code there, mostly very long YML files. The name remains the same, but it is a completely different programming language, if it may still be called so.
We are all watching user-generated content destroy the very concept of truth, and Wikipedia is example A1.

There is no solution. Perhaps truth was always an illusion, but the illusion has been destroyed and it is unravelling society.

A consensus of reputation used to govern these things, but now reputation means almost nothing and there are no mechanisms for consensus on the web. Attempts at consensus are all based in censorship and what remains of reputation is a perverted proxy for "ability to get attention".

1. Agree - it's coming from California's budget, and the state can't print money.

2. Partially agree - decreasing the value of your own currency is definitely going to drive up the currency amount needed to import goods into the country, but that's hardly the only driver for inflation - it also doesn't touch at all the inflation that's happening for services or real-estate/rents.

3. Pretty hard disagree. In fact - a supply shock is literally the definition of a period where "giving folks more money" is unlikely to do anything other than continue to drive prices higher. All you're doing is increasing the number of dollars available to chase the same limited supply. Price will increase as a result. Will the recipients of the cash influx have better purchasing power? Probably - but only at the expense of every other purchaser interested in the limited supply.

CLove-Unit Test Adapter for Visual Studio
This is a great container! Been using this for years. (I've contributed!)

The only downside is that @haugene has gone missing for sometime now, as such there are no firm releases. If you want new features/bug fixes, you have to pull dev, which isn't very ideal. Otherwise the maintainers are doing a great job (shout out to @pkishino!)
Layoffs? Wage Cooling?
Wanted to throw out a vibe check to see what sentiment is towards what happens next in the market. Feels like layoffs are already happening, but i'm more curious what this means for wages. It felt like wages were finally watching up to inflation (at least making progress), but now that markets are cooling i wonder how it will be affected.

I'm not talking about temporary outages, I'm talking about data loss.

With AWS it's extremely easy to keep an up-to-date database backup in a different region.

And it's great that you haven't personally encountered disaster, but of course once again that's cherry-picking. And it's not just a component overheating, it's the whole closet on fire, it's a broken ceiling sprinkler system going off, it's a hurricane, it's whatever.
Training Sentence Transformers the “OG” Way

And the reason they do this is because of prop 13. In particular, California's per capita budget isn't any higher than other blue states.

I don't think its a good source of revenue for many reasons. But until it becomes politically tenable to remove prop 13, I'm not sure if there's a better solution.
I think you will be a better role model if you show some courage to better your own situation.
Ah but this is him defending himself after the fact. The book most definitely does create the "sufficient" impression, and deliberately, because it's such a nice story. This is attested to by the takeaways most people have from it. If they got the wrong impression, either he wrote it wrong or he's a shit writer - or both. Now he back pedals because he got called out on the bs.

Don't get me wrong, he's a very good story teller. But he's a complete crap "popular science" writer
You would be shocked how many people lack what one would hope is common sense when it comes, especially, to things like shift scheduling. Even ones who've been on the other side of it and get promoted!

It seems it is not common sense after all. And no, most of it's not happening because of reasonable business trade-offs or tension between business and human needs, people are just weirdly bad at making sensible schedules. They'll produce these completely fucked-up schedules that someone with a little empathy and that aforementioned common-sense can fix in five minutes flat. It's baffling.
You can't really compare Signal to Telegram. Signal is a privacy first chat app. Nothing more. Telegram is a entire platform with channels, bots, payments, games, and more. Its more akin to Discord or even WeChat. It can't really be e2ee and do all that. Instead, when you need e2ee for a specific conversation, it has Secret Chats. Its just another feature of Telegram; not its main purpose.
Sure, like I said, it's a information theoretic argument. Imagine if Signal used a One Time Pad instead of AES, this might make it easier to see what's going on if you have some idea about the One Time Pad.

Suppose I promise you that qMsVOrgWDZTo0Fet9xLhIQ is the base 64 encoded, 16 byte encrypted message I just sent, but I used OTP. Do you in some sense "have" a copy of my message ? No. That is completely useless without the key, it could have literally been any message, without the key there's no difference.
Go's generic implementation (sadly) tries to reduce the amount of code it generates by generating code which dispatches to the concrete methods at runtime. The rules for when this dispatch happens aren't easy to understand, and they're subject to change, so reasoning about performance (already hard) gets strictly harder. In some cases, generics might make code faster, and in others it may make code slower.

> Replace GPT-3 with Bob, language model with person, and deep learning with learning, and you arrive at the conclusion that we're not able to determine whether people actually understand the world around them.

Sure we can, there are diseases which greatly hampers your ability to understand the world but doesn't hamper your verbal abilities at all, Williams syndrome for example. They are great at generating nonsense stories that doesn't make sense. GPT-3 is like that but much worse.

I can’t specifically to CERN and the exact workload. But bear in mind that the 3MM euros is non negotiated sticker pricing. In real life, negotiated pricing can be much much less depending on your org size and spend. This is a variable most people neglect.
They should try other free email services. It’d be nice if Google voice was still free and somebody could help set that up as their persistent number. That said, Google 2FA is mission critical for many people’s online identity and is protecting them from a world of online evils, this is not a reason to step back from a security posture that Google has rightly decided protects its users.
I also find it ethically questionable to not return a tax surplus to the people who paid the most in taxes.

This is effectively a forced wealth re-distribution.

The gov't should spend our tax money on the common good. Not just to literally tax money from my family and turn around and hand it directly to our neighbors.

I'm glad I moved out of California. They don't even hide forced wealth redistributions anymore.
> Most of the problems today can be traced to the Bush administration, and the aftermath of 9/11.

I'd argue many larger problems trace back to Nixon than Bush.
Honestly, 1 in 4 sounds pretty in line with Java and C# codebases which have a similiar conservative culture (assuming "using" = "writing generic classes/functions", and not consuming, which I think is a pretty safe assumption as Go already had generics for the consumer in the built in map/list/etc)
They aren't automatically more capable, it's just a well known and frequently noticed fact that Clojure tends to attract more senior developers, and the community is very senior dev heavy compared to other language communities.

So of course that is interesting, probably says some important things, and moves the average salaries up as well. Everything points to "Clojure tends to attract some subset of better devs" rather than it making them better.

There are clearly also effects from the small pool of available candidates, the high output of experienced Clojure devs, etc but generally being in a smaller ecosystem doesn't drive prices up.
Submersion or air exposure though?
Interesting how this mentality haven't changed in many decades now. We weren't "allowed" to cite/use wikipedia as any type of source in high school back in 2006. The easy solution is simply to cite the primary sources directly from the wikipedia's citation.

> No it does not necessarily mean that, it could plausibly mean that they do have a second preference, but are afraid of giving them points so that they don’t overtake their first preference. Think of a Bernie, Hillary, Trump election where some Bernie voters don’t want to give high points to Hilary, even though they much prefer her to Trump, for fear of her beating Bernie. RCV allows them to confidently vote Bernie > Hillary > Trump and not worry about this problem.

Well that's the whole point I was making. In STAR if they really don't like Hillary but prefer her to Trump, they can vote Bernie 5, Hillary 1, Trump 0. Yes, they've very marginally increased the likelihood that Hillary reaches the runoff instead of Bernie, but in doing so they have ensured that in the runoff their vote will contribute to Bernie over Hillary or Hillary over Trump (depending who reaches the runoff). If they aren't willing to give up even one point on a 5 point scale in order to express that preference in the runoff, I'd argue that they have essentially admitted that their preference for Bernie to win is so strong that it overrides any of their other preferences. It's just an honest vote. It could perhaps be a miscalculated vote if they don't understand the implications of that kind of vote, but if they understand and still vote as such then it's honest.

If anything I consider this an advantage of STAR over RCV. Political polarization has gotten to a ridiculous point and we should be encouraging finding common ground. STAR helps facilitate this kind of dialog on a societal level while RCV implicitly tells people they can have their first choice without needing to find any common ground with other camps. In RCV there is not even the option to have your lower choices counted alongside your first choice in any given elimination round. STAR gives voters the ability to choose whether to compromise or not.
Khurana, Rakesh. “From Higher Aims to Hired Hands: The Social Transformation of American Business Schools and the Unfulfilled Promise of Management as a Profession.” From Higher Aims to Hired Hands, Princeton Univ. Press, 2007

I’m reading this book which talks about how business schools lost their purpose and shareholder primacy upended attempts to add professionalism to management. The success of shareholder primacy fed back into the business schools and displaced any broader social missions that exist in the professional fields such as engineering, medicine, and law. Instead, fiduciary responsibility blasts through the greater good. It’s very dense and full of jargon so it takes time to unpack, but it appears to be a very well researched book.
Your conception of quality of life is not universal.

Assume I have a detached home in the suburbs. How am I going to walk to the grocery store when it's miles away? How do I live without a car when there's no public transit? How do I get access to job opportunities, cultural experiences, dining options, and other amenities that come with close proximity to an urban core?

If your answer is "But my detached home is near the urban core!" then you're fortunate, but as large American cities have shown us that doesn't scale.
While I'm a huge Gladwell critic, I enjoyed that book quite a bit. But I disagree with your main point. I'd summarize it's conclusions as:

1. People make decisions very quickly -- like often in under a second.

2. These decisions are very powerful.
2a. Powerful in terms of accurately deducing things, and/or
2b. Powerfully emotional in how it sways you (not always in good ways!)

3. You can have some success in retraining your fast decision making.

This may seem slight, but I think these three main points are not necessarily obvious and are probably true. I've taken advantage of these by, for example, researching different mobile phones a bunch but consciously not making a decision until I walked into the store and I had a powerful interest in one of them on the shelf. That turned out to be the right answer for me.
> LNT is used at the low levels of nuclear accidents because the deaths are impossible to find [...] lost in a sea of ordinary cancers, statistically undetectable by any practical experiment.

No, this is the 'excess deaths' problem we just encountered estimating Covid fatalities. Either there are unexplained deaths that you can call low-dose deaths/illnesses, or there are not. If the influence per-person is so low it can't be detected that's the same as not causing many deaths/illnesses in the population.

> Note that there is no good evidence that LNT is incorrect.

Yes, there is. High natural background-radiation areas don't show an increase in cancers for residents.

> If anything, nuclear stans should fear abandonment of LNT

It's not a game and we aren't rooting for a team. We want the most accurate models.

> the assumption that the number of cancers caused is the maximum not ruled out by evidence.

This is the standard we should be using, but Chernobyl is the evidence you're talking about. We're actively developing the models based on observations.

> For low levels of radiation, this would result in LARGER estimates than from LNT.

No, that is the LNT model.
I'd never heard of it so I did some quick googling.

The GIF Is on Its Deathbed
Having kids.

I'm sure it's great for normies but my kids are mentally disabled and being their dad is grief and heartache without end. I have no close family to share any of it with - the little family I grew up with are all dead and I am looking forward to my own death.

I hope that one day genetic research will advance to a point where 23andme et al can help future young couples avoid these kind of outcomes.

Moving files in ZSH – The wonderful world of zmv
When I worked as a network engineer I spent months working with some great scientists / their team who built a crazy microscope (I assumed it was looking at atoms or something...) the size of a small building.

Their budget for the network gear was a couple hundred bucks and some old garbage consumer grade network gear. For something that spit out 10s of GB a second (at least) across a ton of network connections (they didn't seem to know what would even happen when they ran it), and was so bursty all but the highest end of gear could handle it.

Can confirm sometimes scientists aren't really up on the overall costs. Then they dump it "this isn't working" on their university IT team to absorb the costs / manpower costs.

> The state took in more than they could spend in 2021. This year, when I filed taxes

That's not quite accurate. They (government) can always find ways to spend the extra money. Oregon passed a ballot measure that constitutionally mandated them to send back any excess above what they budgeted. If they said they need $1.5 billion to run the state for the biennium (made up number) and they collect $2 billion, they have to return $500 million back, and in equal proportions to what the individuals (and corporations) paid. There was a long time where the gov't was overtaxing people (by keeping excess collected) and this was a fair remedy.
Ukrainian troops report outages of Musk Starlink devices
Pulling my thoughts from the jobs report released this morning: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2022/10/07/business/jobs-report...
I successfully switched careers at 51. The way I did it was to:

1. Figure out what I really wanted to do.
2. Build a plan to make that transition.
3. Test each phase of my plan and make adjustments along the way.

Since then, I've worked at two Big Tech companies doing what I enjoy doing.
The tone of this betrays a possibly more argumentative than collaborative conversation style than that which I may want to engage with further (as seems common I've noticed amongst anti-connectionists), but I did find one point intersting for discussion.

> Parameters are just the database of the system.

Would any equations parameters be considered just the database then? C in E=MC^2, 2 in a^2+b^2=c^2?

I suppose those numbers are basically a database, but the relationships (connections) they have to the other variables (inputs) represent a demonstrable truth about the universe.

To some degree every parameter in a nn is also representing some truth about the universe. How general and compact that representation is currently is not known (likely less than we'd like of both traits).
