Seinfeld has 3 phases. The phase where they don't know what they're doing and Jason Alexander is doing a Woody Allen impression. The phase where they figure it out. And the phase where Larry David has left the show.

The second two phases are funny.

Scary stuff. The fact that a well-informed user would compromise privacy consideration to save a tap or two when checking the weather is why we're all probably doomed. Even the slightest inconvenience seems to outweigh any long term privacy implications.

> they are the same "industrial policies" that japan, south korea, and the u.s (and many other advanced countries) used to develop rapidly and fully

At a very high level yes. But when you look closer, not at all. Abenomics for example, can be contrasted with Reagonimics [1]. Because while there are some similarities, there are also important differences.

But more importantly, why does this matter? No one said the Chinese government used "special secrets" for the wildly successful past two decades. The original question was "when will China start".

You seem to be of the same view as everyone else here: they already did start.

You also avoided the question I asked. Can you answer it?

Why didn't China's rapid rise out of poverty happen to other "3rd world" nations? Some poor countries have the same industrial policies as the US but aren't quickly rising out of poverty. You need to explain why China is different.

> He's 15 years past his peak cultural relevancy

I'm the farthest thing from a fan of Kanye West, but this is false:

"West remains a considerable force in pop music. Every album except his debut, 2004’s “The College Dropout,” has topped the Billboard 200, including 2021’s “Donda,” which received a Grammy album of the year nomination. In the run-up to “Donda,” he held public “listening parties” at football stadiums in Atlanta and Chicago that were livestreamed on Apple Music (he was roundly criticized for bringing out special guests DaBaby and Marilyn Manson, who are each under scrutiny for bigoted language or alleged abuses). His sold-out December show with Drake at the L.A. Coliseum affirmed he’s still a formidable concert draw, one of few hip-hop acts who can credibly headline major global festivals." [1]

His continued popularity is precisely what makes his comments so dangerous.

IMO an example of self driving that is a scam is relevant to whether the concept as a whole may be a scam too.

Of course a counter example would be just as relevant since it could prove the concept isn't entirely a scam.
I have worked at some places where SRE guys were a joy to work with. But at my current place they take a cowboy approach and make my life harder. So I'm currently not interested in building software like an SRE.

It's only half the solution. And it's too complicated and there's no real standard, as in real world standard. Everyone has their own little soup cooking, because the manifest is incomplete and always evolving.
The example wasn't even that of a self-driving car related scam, but a scam found in the automated blood testing industry.
In my experience smart is a nice quality to have in people you work with but it's on par with pleasant to be around. Motivated on the other hand is crucial - I'd rather work with a dumb toxic person who wants to get the job done then an nice genius who doesn't care about the work.

I'm really on board with Woody Allen's line that 90% of life is showing up.
So was Howard Hughes, but it's usually his declining mental health that gets attention because no one helped him.
Kudos to the comments on databases. It is very hard to justify ripping out Mongo after the fact even if relational is better. Part of the problem is opportunity cost (“We need the money for innovation and new features”) and part is having to fess up to the wrong call to begin with.

> Researchers’ expertise, prior beliefs, and expectations barely predict the wide variation in research outcomes. More than 90% of the total variance in numerical results remains unexplained even after accounting for research decisions [including which statistical tests to perform] identified via qualitative coding of each team’s workflow.

They're saying that scientists, given the same data, will achieve widely different results, and that they can't even work out how they're getting these different results. That's surprising and concerning.

> This reveals a universe of uncertainty that is otherwise hidden when considering a single study in isolation. The idiosyncratic nature of how researchers’ results and conclusions varied is a new explanation for why many scientific hypotheses remain contested.
It calls for greater humility and clarity in reporting scientific findings.

Hmmm, I think the variance in results is maybe a bit more of an issue in the softer sciences and the conclusions would be better worded to reflect that considering the context here, rather than implying they hold to a similar extent over science generally.

There is no doubt human failings also challenge physics etc (see previous threads here) and humility and clarity is appropriate there also, but the significant problems highlighted in this study seem more particular to areas of research that have long been regarded as less sure due to the nature of their domain.
Who still partitions like that???
I, on the other hand, remember it vividly. I even remember what kind of wallpaper I had set in the background (tiling 8-color marble-like thing). I remember playing with loading image files, via the built-in Amiga Datatype plugins (was that the name for this mechanism?). I remember 1024x768 JPEGs took around 30 seconds to load, while similar GIFs loaded under 15 seconds. Both results were from hard-drive (not a floppy), so mostly CPU-bound.

It’s never not been mainstream. Crazy girlfriends, calling people psychos, joking about having ocd(“or as I prefer it, cdo!”), adhd squirrel!, calling people narcissistic, autistic as an insult for being overly petulant, “retarded”, etc etc. the list goes on and on.

> Use Helm. Or some other tool for managing Kubernetes manifests, I’m not picky – the important thing is that you ~never directly use kubectl apply, edit, or delete. The resource lifecycle needs to be findable in version control.

I have to partly disagree with that one. I find tools like Helm to obscure things that should be readily visible. My favoured method is to keep manifests in full (which you can source from `helm template`!) as pure yaml files and version that. If possible freeze versions and go through regular patch cycles to review updates. That you apply them through `kubectl apply` or through Argo is irrelevant. I treat the repo as the state and the running cluster as stateless. If it's borked, just redeploy. I don't see it as useful to care too much about the in-cluster resource life-cycle. But I completely agree that resources need to be version-controlled.
You're completely right. My premise is not extending the (court tested, honored) license I attach to my code.

What I say with the GPL license is clear:

If you derive anything from this code base, you're agreeing and obliged to carry this license to the target code base (The logical unit in this case is a function in most cases).

So the case is clear. AI is a derivation engine. What you obtain is a derivation of my GPL licensed code. Carry the license, or don't use that snippet, or in AI's case, do not emit GPL derived code for non-GPL code bases.

This is all within the accepted ethics & law. Moreover, it's court tested too.

> And yet, according to Mongo and ElasticSearch, the AGPL doesn't help them actually sell their software in the only way they think is profitable - as a SaaS platform - since it is not creating the type of moat they were hoping for, where they would be the only ones able to offer it as a managed service. AWS was eating their lunch with their own product despite the AGPL, which led to their new license.

You're right -- you're discussing the future of "proprietary software" there -- not the future of F/OSS.

Why I say that the future of F/OSS is AGPL is because increasingly smaller creators who know the value of their work are building software with an eye to profitability down the road (or at least avoiding exploitation).

This is also why I say that the AGPL is misunderstood -- it does not stop people from running a competing service, it stops them from improving your software (usually for their competing service) and not contributing the changes back. For now, it does serve to discourage most corporations though I think that will wear away over time.

Still, AGPL is juuuust at the edge of F/OSS, that's where the frontier will likely be -- the step before BSL/SSPL/Elastic and similar licenses.

Libraries are a completely different matter though!
Parler hasn't been able to get back to how popular it was since the coordinated shutdown.

I imagine they sold for a very small amount (although they did apparently raise some money earlier and buy Dynascale, a hosting company).

Most of those who used parler are now on Gettr or Truth Social or Retalk.
The big thing too, with the `if err != nil` pattern is that it's _good_ Go practice to do that, but it doesn't feel good to constantly be spamming a 3 line error check on every single statement.

I really don't like hopping into a codebase and seeing a 27-line function (uncommented, of course) with 21 of the lines being `if err != nil` checks
All absolutely true, but I think Kyiv is huge, I'm tiny, and the number of incoming missiles is small; I think it just won't happen. To my thought, it's worth that risk, for the benefit of seeing what happens so I can write about it.

Does this only apply to piano, brass, and woodwind? Seems like with choral or string music, high level performers would naturally adjust the tuning of their particular note to match the context of the chord. Like I can't imagine someone singing a 5th and NOT falling into a perfect tuning.

Technically you are not wrong, but all platforms including Twitter, Facebook, etc basically say "We believe in free speech, but..."

It's really just about choosing who moderates your content. 0 moderation is not possible, so if you don't like Twitter, you can use Parler, and if you don't like Reddit, you can use Retalk, etc etc
Seinfeld himself said he made up the words - I copied from the actual article.

From all I have seen in this thread, these words are being used in the literal context for which they were already defined - and they are already humorous without the need to imply it.

EDIT: you can downvote all you like, doesnt change the fact that he didnt actually make up the words or even their usage...
How different is this from Supabase Realtime?
What is even worse is if the company has a requirement for 40 hours of training annually, and they provide it in-house (using bulk content CBTs) that don't really give you any skills. Then stipulate a "training fee payback" if you leave 2 years after a specific training. So you are constantly on the hook for paying back a training session seeing as they require a refresher every year.
I was just about to post the exact same thing. 9 times out of 10 the issue isn't a broken service. It's going to be something environmental. You absolutely must have retries. Set alerts for elevated numbers of retries so you can respond when it can't recover on it's own but don't leave these out. You'll just generate alert fatigue for whoever is on call in your teams.

I am not sure about statutory damages.

As I understand it, the complainant may CHOOSE to request the court to levy statutory damages rather than actual damages at any point, but is not entitled to both actual AND statutory (17 U.S. Code § 504)

It also seems to be absolutely capped at 30K per infringement, not 50, and ranges up from $750. It also seems that if the "court finds, that such infringer was not aware and had no reason to believe that his or her acts constituted an infringement of copyright, the court in its discretion may reduce the award of statutory damages to a sum of not less than $200."

I think you are probably right that this specific function is copyrightable though, but taken overall, I think Microsoft's lawyers have probably concluded that they would win any challenge on this. Microsoft have lost court battles before though, so who knows?

That stuck out to me as well as being suspect.

> Assuming you have more than one service and more than one instance, you either need or will need stuff like service discovery, autoscaling, and deployment versioning, and you do not want to manage all that by yourself.

To paraphrase, "If you have anything but a tiny amount of complexity to your architecture, you must add in a high degree of complexity". It sounds insane, right? Like, we're skipping some middle steps.

Yes, Kubernetes solves those problems, BUT ALSO the care and feeding of Kubernetes clusters themselves is a significant time investment. Manual scaling sucks, but if you have a good automation game, it's not that bad. Often what people think is a need to scale extremely rapidly is really an organizational problem they are trying to automate around (example: An ECommerce site sends out coupons to 10 million customers without telling the devops teams).
Makes zero sense, and NSF's best answer is that they are soliciting ideas about how. Arecibo is somewhat remote -- it's in a karst terrain that was chosen because it was so bumpy that it formed a convenient bowl for the dish. Its easy for the roads connecting it to San Juan to get shut down or degraded by storms. Without the telescope, it's really hard to imagine which students would aspire to go there. But it's a great place for.... A telescope.

I think a key requirement for an audit capability is that the audit records cannot be modified. Using a trigger allows you to add an audit capability onto existing tables in a way that prevents the application and the developers from accessing it. Typically you would also have special controls on the audit tables to log access and/or keep the DBA's out too (if you have dedicated audit staff, for example).

If you're designing the system from scratch, you might want to consider a journal and ledger design. It's an insert-only database design where all changes are added as new rows in a journal table and a current roll-up is kept in a ledger table. This design also has a nice side effect of giving you the ability to recover from application data errors.

Edit: audit is about proving that something did or didn't happen, so low level logging is usually appropriate, and required if you're doing federal stuff.
