How much of the standard Lua test suit can your implementation pass? Do you have some benchmarks to compare the speed?

What is the problem with scientific notation? Racket can parse floating point numbers, including some weird cases [1], but I guess Lua has a slightly different set of weird cases.

Truly awesome work. There is a weird second-order kind of beauty here, in that the act of classifying and visualizing the surprisingly-complex emergent behavior of simple CAs is, itself, a meta simple-CA-like algorithm that has managed to produce an astonishingly beautiful and complex result. The fact that this structure is just kinda “baked into” the universe/math and produced basically ex nihilo is mind-blowing.

I always understood the brain as a computer analogy to be more that the brain performs computations, which seems kind of obvious but wasn't really obvious before it was adopted as a model. That doesn't mean it's entirely distinct/separate from the rest of the body at all.

The increase and acquisitions and how negatively they tend to impact employees has also really reduced the expected value of startups. I know dozens of engineers who were at middlingly successful startups and the story is always the same - founders, VCs, and a few key employees get paid and everyone else is shafted.

This has changed how I do the math when founders approach me as an early engineering higher. I make us game out different valuations and how likely they seem and what my potential payout is - I let them know that unless they can offer some contractual protection for my upside during a buyout I have to treat that scenario as one where I get nothing. So far not a single founder has been willing to entertain that sort of agreement.

Plex lost their best users by missing the point of self hosting entirely. Nobody wants to deal with third party downtime, even if it is rare and intermittent.

I think most products go through phases like this. Plex has some diehards that have stuck around (I think it's just buyers remorse for the Plex pass) but I think they are at a 5th or 6th tier of "customer" at this point, seeing the continuous churn spiral they are fighting.

This is a cool idea like the potato powered clock. There are so many holes here. Let me just pick one. They don't seem to account for reassembly issues which is a huge problem and vastly multiplies your problem space depending on how you implement the solution. What the fuck am I going on about you ask?

Think of it like this: sig: abc
Traffic a[1] b[2] c[3]

where the packets are properly ordered in 1 2 3 order. Simple fragmentation could be sending them out of order - I believe this paper accounts for that. What if instead you send a[1] b[2] b[2] c[3]? Windows assembles this one way (depending on the version), linux another, bsd another. It's super fun. Then what if you send c[3] b[2] c[3] a[1] b[2]. One could argue, "hey d*ckhead we're going to normalize the traffic first" the problem is what is normal? Stevens had tons of good work on this. Some systems have a 'normalization' standard that's similar to how their network gear works. Also I find the fact that they say 'all the patterns' must be matched for the sig to fire. Does that include an or? Are they breaking the or down into sub detectors or something? The 10,000 signature thing is also kind of fake as the number of signatures constantly grows like the number of amazing taylor swift songs.

All in all these authors need to go read the old breakingpoint test standards, or ixia, or nss, or really anyone.

I'm surprised to see that ML-based semantic search is barely touched on in this article. There's a strong focus on entity matching, but an arguably more powerful way to conduct similarity search is to leverage embedding vectors from trained models.

A great upside to this approach is that it works for a variety of different types of unstructured data (images, video, molecular structures, geospatial data, etc), not just text. The rise of multimodal models such as CLIP (https://openai.com/blog/clip) makes this even more relevant today. Combine it with a vector database such as Milvus (https://milvus.io) and you'll be able to do this at scale with very minimal effort.

Dynamodb is very scalable and effective at keeping operational cost down. It succeeds at it's goals by trading off on lots of things though. As a developer it can feel almost hostile. Adhoc queries are limited almost forcing you to have a complete second copy of the data. Access patterns must be designed up front and hope you don't need to change much when you hit scale. The tooling is meh. It's easier to make a scalable database when you push all those problems on your devs. Constraints are tricky. Transactions must be carefully designed. It's nice to know that almost definitely read and write throughput will scale and you can reduce the DBA/DevOps staff because AWS handles it.
As can see, Sequoia kept the URL but entirely changed the content.

If you read the article (I know, I know...) it's extremely honest about the accuracy of population modeling as it reaches into the future, and fully admits that projections past 70 years aren't good. It even does so relatively close to the beginning.

“Demographic projections are highly accurate, and it has to do with the fact that most of the people who will be alive in 30 years have already been born,” the UN’s population division director, John Willmoth, says.

“But when you start getting 70, 80 years down the road, there’s much more uncertainty.”

The figure has been disputed [0] but it originates from an analysis done by a John Hopkins University doctor published in the BMJ [1][2]:

> We define death due to medical error as death due to 1) an error in judgment, skill, or coordination of care, 2) a diagnostic error, 3) a system defect resulting in death or a failure to rescue a patient from death, or 4) a preventable adverse event. The prevalence of death due to medical error leading to patient deaths has been established in the literature. From studies that analyzed documented health records, we calculated a pooled incidence rate of 251,454 deaths per year.

> (1) If we project this quantity into the total number of deaths in the year 2013 (2,596,993 deaths), they would account for 9.7% of all deaths in the nation.

> (2) This figure far surpasses the current third leading cause of death on the CDC’s most recent rank order. Moreover, the 251,454 estimate we derived from the literature is an underestimate because the studies conducted did not include outpatient deaths or deaths at home due to a medical error.

Growth tech stocks are hard to evaluate in terms of overvalued or undervalued. The good ones carry a very high PE ratio and they tend to be volatile. It's hard to figure out what their value should be. You'll have to do your own research and hope for the best.

But don't be too quick. The fed will continue to raise interest rates for a bit more since inflation is still an issue. Every time the fed hikes interest rates the market takes a dive so you still have time to find the future winners.

Start looking for strong,popular and profitable companies that have products that people are using and will use in the future. Look for them with the idea that you will invest in them once the market starts to calm down.

Picking stocks is hard. Your best bet is to bet on a basket of stocks by buying a tech stock fund. Or go safer by buying an index fund.

Anyhow, good luck...
this person's odd preferences about PCB stock authenticity versus their desire to use a modern parts or replacements for other things really confuses me.

they want vintage PCB stock but don't seem to care about other things. they want to feel connected to the PCB designers by reusing the original PCB layouts as shown in the paper manuals distributed with the equipment.

the very same people they reached out to and who told them their project is a fool's errand.

people simply do not make sense to me. not even a little bit. I am on Earth, but I am not of Earth.

I myself feel more like a PCB designer when I design PCBs, and less like a PCB designer when I copy someone else's design verbatim.

don't bother replying if you're going to try to explain anything, because I will not understand humans no matter how much I try.

it would make FAR more sense to me if they just said "I'm doing it this way because that's how I want to do it" and did not elaborate. the explanation feels like an enormous can of "if I explain it, people won't challenge my decision in the comments."
This was a great read. I love the idea of an ordering on CAs to complex systems with extra dispersion about the midsection to help explain things like stability.

Four out of every eight hours a day in process-related meetings doesn’t sound very agile to me.

I’ve done plenty of actually-agile development and it’s always involved one meeting at the start of an iteration to select the items to work on from the backlog, a daily 15-minute standup to address any blockers for our immediate work, and then a couple hours at the end of the iteration to demo the completed work and do a retrospective for anything unexpected that came up.

That’s always worked great for me, especially combined with sizing work items in points rather than time so estimates come out of measurement of previous work rather than guesses about how long things will take.

A simple first move would be to repeal the 1929 law that capped growth of House of Representatives. Let it grow according to census, as was wrote in Constitution.

I don't really agree. I've been using Jellyfin for a while now (basically as soon as Emby went commercial) and I find it definitively nicer to browse than Plex. I just prefer the way the UI is structured, and my collections are still manageable enough that navigating with arrows is usable. I admit it probably could be improved, for larger collections, but it doesn't seem unusually bad to me personally.
