This is how that argument works. You come up with a bunch of logical-sounding explanations for why it must be this way, completely ignoring the material reality that there are numerous working examples of other ways to do it. You keep everything as abstract as possible, and you hand-wave real-world counterexamples as sounding so extreme that they must be highly unusual and therefore irrelevant. And if someone presses the issue, you simply allow it to immediately devolve into bikeshedding, discussing the minutiae of that specific issue while ignoring the larger context.

I'm not sure if there's a name for this style of argument, but it happens a lot, particularly in defenses of uniquely or primarily American phenomena.

> Twitter’s monetizable daily user (mDAU) growth has accelerated to more than 20 percent... according to an internal FAQ obtained by The Verge that was shared with Twitter’s sales team on Monday to use in conversations with advertisers.

It seems like this is a different metric to user growth. Does anyone have any insight into how something like this is calculated? I'm curious to know if the number of users can remain the same, or decrease, while "monetizable daily users" increases.
That came to pass a long, long time ago. The last time we elected a President with whom the opposite party could "agree to disagree" was George H. W. Bush in 1988.

Since then, each party has considered the other's Presidents a travesty, not worth a shred of respect and whose agenda must be stopped at all costs -- with the brief exception in 2001 under George W. Bush.

I don't intend this as both-sides-ism. I certainly blame one party far more than the other. But in terms of what "has now come to pass", it came to pass in the early 90s, whoever you blame for it.
The fourier Transform essentially means that every L^2 (the square of the function has a finite integral) is completely "described" by an l^2 series (a series of numbers whose sum of squares converges), which is about the greatest piece of magic in mathematics.
One very important piece here is that the term "function" is somewhat of a lie (since the result couldn't be true if it weren't).

The result for measurable functions (not almost functions) shouldn't be true (I think).
I am not even sure it is true for L^1 almost functions.
As with any fortification, they are not indestructible. A well prepared force can employ engineers to destroy the blocks with relative ease and create paths through the dragon’s teeth.

I think this is all about claiming back agency. We are rangers, hunters, pathfinders. When boxed into civilization a lot of our time becomes ruled by some external imperative, and we yearn for the liberty of determining what is most important for ourselves at the moment and putting our minds to it.

IMO that is part of the problem. The courts often even bend backwards to follow the laws as written by the legislature rather than follow the constitution. You end up with insane interpretations, such as a federal law allowing prosecution of someone growing locally sourced pot seeds and smoking the product somehow being interpreted as interstate commerce.

Another utterly bizarre one is merely the act of walking within 1000 feet of a school with a gun in hand is considered interstate commerce under the gun free school zone act. No matter if the act of was completely devoid of commercial nature.

Truly modern, "Western-style" warfare is more about the pace of battle and maintaining consistency in the "information space" than anything else.

You do everything you can to make your troops as mobile and fast to respond as possible, then you keep moving around and probing until you find a place where the enemy isn't ready for you. Exploit that, then move the battle somewhere else while the enemy scrambles to adapt.

Ukraine has been doing exactly that in this war. Russia has enough trouble keeping their units supplied when they're in neat deployments - expecting them to be able to respond to multiple probing attacks along an extended front while maintaining force in all the areas not currently under attach is impossible for them.

not HNs brightest hour. The discussion in that thread hinges on the fact that people do die naturally. Duh, of course. That's why the story of the Guardian is sprinkled with a lot of stories that go inside how people died and how inhumane the working conditions in Quatar often are, leading to all kinds of humanitarian problems, not the least of which is basically slavery, as in that people cannot freely change their employer and are thus bound by whoever employed them when they came in the country. And so on and so on. Also, we have to understand that it's way more difficult to get to this information in dictatorships. Which is to say just because there are not a lot of figures and studies of e.g. Uyghurs in prisonment camps in China, doesn't mean it's not happening. On the contrary, we should expect a huge underbelly of human rights abuses in these countries that are not reported.

I firmly believe more intelligent people need to be exposed to real mental illness such as this. To give perspective. But the important thing to do with that perspective is not to validate these delusions that people have. You can seriously damage and hurt someone who has a delusional disorder if you validate. I mean yeah, if you aren't ever going to encounter them again and you might be in a dangerous situation then lie convincingly so you can get out of said situation... But if it's a person you encounter often or a loved one then please get them help and get them to come back to reality. They don't need some smart nerd waxing philosophical about society and what tech companies are doing... They need actual help and even if you think reality is some fungible thing they don't need to hear that.

That's a good point. I guess many of us were suggesting cheaper VPS because we assumed this is a new project, just launched. (Most inexperienced developers / start-ups tend to over provision). With current hosting technologies, it is quite easy to scale with need, with minimum downtime, so it makes sense to start with the minimum server requirement and then go for a powerful server as required. This give you valuable data on the bottlenecks (where you can do future optimizations), as you scale, while you temporarily fix the issue with more money (by requisitioning better servers) as you work out the cost-benefit analysis (as you did) of spending money on optimising vs server upgrade.

> there exist some functions into which you can feed in sound waves and the output is guaranteed to still be a sound wave.

That in and of itself does not seem like a particularly insightful observation. It's just obvious that such functions exist. I can think of three of them off the top of my head: time delay, wave addition, and multiplication by a scalar. There must be something more to it than that.
Pure speculation - but I am going to go ahead and speculate that they lost most of the money when everything collapsed a few months ago in the defi blow up.

They doubled down and bought up distressed assets for cents on the dollar, hoping to make it back. A few months on, these bets are worth $0 and there is a $5bn hold in the balance sheet.

> Modifying the source code of humans is like the new hire thinking they can make the code so much faster because they don't know how the section code they are working on is used by the larger system as a whole. All they see is that there's an apparent bug in the section they are viewing now. Never mind the sections of code that have programmed workarounds for that specific bug, and will now break downstream because the buggy returns are no longer present. So how do we know if these kinds of workarounds in the human genome are also not present?

We know for a fact the current code base is full of bugs and convoluted workarounds due to the original coder having no idea what they were doing. While we may not yet know the best way to refactor the code, it undoubtedly needs to be refactored.
This seems like it would rock for building Language Server Protocol implementations or other similar things.

Your response is incoherent. Are you saying that a person in France, at latitude 48.0, gets less in UV rays than aboriginal people living north of the Arctic Circle, up north of latitude 67.0? A simple explanation based on UV rays would suggest that everyone at a certain latitude would have the same level of pigmentation and so, to repeat myself, the default a priori assumption has to be that the first people in Europe had the same level of brown skin as the other people living at similar latitudes. Again, Mongolians and Eskimos and other aboriginal people, including early American Indians, would form a reference point. And, indeed, there is evidence that Europeans were exactly this brown as recently as 8,000 years ago:

https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins...

So if you want to explain the whiteness that is unique to Europe, you need to look for an explanation beyond a simple mapping of latitude and UV rays. You need to look for something that could have been altered by the arrival of the first forms of agriculture, and the Gulf Stream -- the warm weather provided by the Gulf Stream would have allowed agriculture further north in Europe than at any other place on the globe for a given latitude. That would have lead to the unique situation of people having enough to eat, very far north, but not necessarily getting what Vitamin D and E that they needed.

Of the Eskimo and other aboriginal groups: "People who eat a lot of raw meat or oily fish have somewhat less desperate need of the vitamin D that sunlight provides, and so don’t end up as pale as those who rely on agriculture."

Suspects often trip themselves up lying to federal law enforcement officers about stuff that's not even really sinister or criminal. They tell small lies to avoid embarrassment or make themselves look better. People tell little white lies all the time in regular conversations and find it hard to break the habit when being interrogated by the FBI. Then when they get caught in a minor discrepancy they double down with bigger lies and dig themselves into an even deeper hole.

"What emerged from this exercise is that social class, education, gender and athletic ability were less important for leadership than the capacity for an individual to attend to others in the group."

If this experiment was done 80 years and they selected military leadership positions based on this experiment (as it implies by reduced failure rate measure), I don't understand why OP used "gender" in the summary statement above? Did UK actually field troops in WWII led by women?

I quit marijuana, but I did use it daily for years. An under appreciated aspect of pot and anxiety is the strain consumed. Broadly speaking pot is put in to two categories: indica and sativa. More indica leaning strains will produce more of a body depressing feeling of relaxation and tiredness. Sativas are more associated with alertness, and as I used pot while doing other things I only consumed pure sativas. However some strains of pure sativa are particularly prone to increasing anxiety. When I encountered those strains I had to stop consuming them and look for something else. Dosage is also very important. I consumed only roughly a pea-sized amount of ground flour in a sitting. High doses of sativa are much more likely to highten anxiety. I think it’s common for people to take a big rip of pot and suffer negative side effects. Very small doses are under appreciated I believe.

That said I quit marijuana early this year. I think overall my anxiety has decreased. I believe I may have been masking emotional problems, and quitting marijuana made it easier for me to process them. However if someone is having nightmares, they may consider smoking indica before bed. It may always depend on the strain, but I believe indica is unlikely to trigger panic attacks.
This is interesting, but it’s not obvious to me what “the capacity for an individual to attend to others in the group” means in this context.

It would be interesting to learn how that capacity was observed and measured. Has anyone seen the source research?
I'm getting the same thing, not on every one, but every 5 or so rows the linkedin link doesn't work. Chrome.
There was a period of time during the COVID lockdown when I had dreams/nightmares about my time in or with the military every night: basic training, deployment, etc. I wish I still had them; my dreams of normal life today are probably too boring and insignificant to remember. Surely there are a lot who suffer from PTSD. I’m not sure, but maybe the same ones that took it over the top down range, or even in training. We were getting shelled on base one night when I was working late by the flight line, and took my time getting into the bunker. Was met with a rifle in my face, screaming, hyperventilating, single-chevron. Yeah, that dude. The 1SGT’s experience in the article, that’s pretty extreme too. For a lot of us though, it was the most significant thing we’ve ever done in the world, whether we agree morally with it or not, and the dreadful reality is that we’ll never be there again, and even if we are, it won’t be the same because we are not the same, now with forced introspection and greater context, no longer passive observers of ourselves in a third-party role. The movies are great when they visit me. I admit that I don’t have nearly as much action or horror in the collection as some, but there is also comedy, drama, coming-of-age, etc.

Probably irrelevant/offensive/etc, but, whatever.

Oh yeah, one more stupid thing about dreams. In my last deployment, I left Stanford and a startup because I wanted to reclaim that feeling of being a warrior, and got assigned to special forces. One of my first nights on the SF base, I had one of my most vivid dreams ever, a childhood friend of mine whom I knew was no good but believed in him anyway, beat a pet cow to death right in front of me, screaming and begging and pleading for him to stop. This bothered me throughout the deployment. I could rationally accept that it was just random neurons firing, but something told me that I had to make sense of it in terms of why I was there and what I was supposed to get out of it. Maybe these things are supposed to torture us. This is the chaos monkey of our conscience and normal pattern of expectation and response, pointing out the weaknesses.
Eigen-things can also be thought of "fixed values" of a "thing" transformation.

> Rocket launches must have so much of these frequencies. Being at one was nothing like I expected after listening to the audio of launches on normal devices.

Agreed, I've been to lots of clubs and listened to heavy bass music most of my adult life. Launches are still indescribable and it just put an instant smile on my face and still gives me goosebumps after all these years as I wasn't even that close to the launch site (bluffs about 10 miles away): I saw the Falcon 9 launch at Vandenburg that made people think the aliens arrived [0].

A couple of points:
1. Cloud Run is more analogous to AWS App Runner than Fargate.
2. Cloud Run isn't a great analog to lambda. Lambda is built to host functions. Cloud Run is built to host applications. Lambda is more analogous to GCP Functions.
3. Cloud Tasks should probably be built with EventBridge + Lambda or EventBridge + StepFunctions or EventBridge + ECS.

I don't profess to be a GCP expert so it's hard for me to make a judgement call on what's better. I can, however, say that most of this post ignores some of the real serverless power provided by AWS. AWS AppSync, AWS API Gateway, DynamoDB, CloudFront Functions, Lambda@Edge. It also makes comparisons that are not very fair.
When we migrated our API to Google Cloud Functions we had a major rise in costs.
Reason: idle time is billed. Meaning every connection to the outside world like a GET request or some other api will become costly.
This is not a problem when you have a light api. We had 30-500 concurrent connections and after the first week our bill was already USD 500 higher as usual.
The world won't exactly rush over to stop Iran from killing it's own future, so good for these 227 old men for putting themselves first once again. If you think about this is how the entire world works, and somehow these old men can always bear the shame.
On the flipside, I was thinking of learning CL as a Julia developer and this post has somewhat discouraged me to do so. What can learning CL do for me apart from realising that S-expression syntax is superior?

For context, I very often find myself building small libraries from scratch to solve very specific scientific problems which is somewhat performance critical. Julia has worked very well for me for this, but I recognise that moving outside of your comfort zone is the best way to become a better programmer.

This discussion reminds me of the technology adoption curve:

https://ondigitalmarketing.com/learn/odm/foundations/5-custo...

The truth is, HIG is a guideline. That’s the G. It’s a living document that changes, like language.

A lot of changes that happened to macOS and Apple software looked bad at first release, like Final Cut Pro X. Many of those decisions were the right move in the long term.

Don't mistake early iteration deficiencies of rewritten component with an overall trend of degradation (again, see Final Cut Pro).

If you’re a late majority adopter or laggard, you might just not be comfortable with change at first or ever, and that’s perfectly okay.

And sure, not all change is good, but bad software doesn’t make Apple money, either.

I used to have night terrors as a kid and I can relate to that feeling of not wanting to go to bed. I'm not sure if they're genetic or not -- my father grew up during the Algerian revolution, so it's hard to tell if his nightmares are just an artifact of being terrorized by French colonists.

I also had a period of getting panic attacks in my early 20s. One thing that was/has been super helpful for my anxiety and general well being was starting a daily meditation practice. The Tibetan teacher Mingyur Rinpoche also had an anxiety disorder and had panic attacks as a child, and is a very clear teacher, if you're ever looking for someone to explore that with. I had had a lot of meditation experience before starting it, but I found his `Joy of Living` course to be very good (if a little basic at first). [1][2]
