Changing the time standard would be a huge international discussion involving many stakeholders, but that’s not at all what I’m suggesting.

I’m suggesting a new standard specifically for computers, not for commerce. The industry would agree on a smearing of time and anyone who wants to can use it at their discretion. And if the standard was at all sensible, it would say that one SHOULD NOT use it in any protocol intended to synchronize time between computers unless that protocol explicitly indicates whether the time is smeared.

The status quo is embarrassingly bad for interoperability. It’s a kludge implemented in a hurry to avoid a repeat of some bugs being triggered. The industry can and should do better.
And it's just for the love of the thing, unless there's equity that hasn't been described yet.

'tl;dr' is an abbreviation for 'too long; didn't read'

people who don't read long things sometimes know a lot about things like how to weld, how to comfort the grieving, and what makes them happy, but they are always profoundly ignorant when it comes to book learning

that's what happened in this case, where haldar's summary claims that this paper shows that a variable they didn't attempt to measure is the best predictor of another variable they didn't attempt to measure

evidently he just looked at the diagrams and guessed what the words meant
Yeah it’s a bit of an odd claim, how does more complex architecture allow for easier iteration?

All common sense would suggest that the average developer, who doesn’t quite get how everything works, will become more afraid of iterating quickly.
I've had great success with cheatsheet. @trevize84, would also be interested in knowing how your app distinguishes itself.
You can't just divide a code base that's entangled. If you disentangle it, you'll remove some bugs in the process. My feeling is that it's super-linear for this reason.
Would they sell it more willingly if what appeared to be a disinterested third party made them an unsolicited offer? If yes, consider such a theatrical move. Emotions are the bane of rational business decisions.
You can buy houses for bitcoin in some places but im really not arguing that bitcoin is the best money to use for every day. I responded to a person who said it had no use case. I use bitcoin multiple times a year for transactions where it works better. And i happened to do that yesterday.

Well the specific usage of customer funds - probably not.

But FTX being a fraud ? ALL crypto trading space is a fraud - Binance probably the biggest (well maybe Tether) - it’s all smokes and mirror. Anybody with a brain should know that.
Reform of the bidding process is probably the most actionable change that can be done. Even if we keep the core principle of a "lowest bidder" process, there are bound to be lessons to be learned from how other countries implement the process.

Tesla Superchargers outnumber all other HVDC chargers in every state, usually by a factor of 2. Maybe you're thinking of the chargers that use the J1772 connector?[1] Those charge via AC, and every Tesla comes with an adapter for them. Tesla also sells a CCS adapter in case you want to use other high voltage chargers such as Electrify America.[2] Though honestly, other charging networks are a shitshow. A friend of mine has an Audi e-tron and he won't drive it farther than Tahoe. Electrify America is too unreliable to trust for road trips.

> The contract is there to punish breach of trust, not to establish trust.

If someone can only be trusted under threat of punishment, that means that they aren't actually trustworthy in the first place. I think we might have different definitions of trust. If I fully trust someone, to me that means that I know there's no need for the threat of court at all, because I can be sure that they will uphold their word even if it's in their better financial interest to break it.

They cut directly from Blender scene, to 3D printer, to finished product. The editing and subtitles clearly imply that they printed the outer components. It's deliberately misleading, and these kinds of tricks are used throughout the presentation.

It's particularly hard to stomach the embellishment when the real work stands on its own so well. It casts everything else into doubt, and reflects very negatively on the creators IMO.

Is this true? I'm pretty sure that most of the regex engines I've used (grep, ripgrep, re2, hyperscan) use Thompson's construction or at least some NFA-based algorithm (not necessarily Thomopson's; Glushkov automata in particular are used by hyperscan).

In a microservice, almost all errors are handled by doing nothing and returning the error to the caller. Retrying may be an option, but you have to be careful not to make your system into a cascading failure amplifier.

> deadliest being the Lady Elgin with a loss of approximately 300 lives (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS_Lady_Elgin).

The wikipedia page isn't quite clear on the matter:

> Professor Mason and Lieutenant Bartlett asserted that a principal cause of the collision was the lack of a $15 lantern on the Augusta

> The judgement was based on a law that not only gave sail the right of way over steam, but did not require sailing vessels to carry running lights.

It didn't matter that the Augusta was a sailing ship, it still had the right of way over the Lady Elgin, and it was the duty of the Lady Elgin to alter course to avoid the collision. But because the Augusta was a sailing ship it didn't need adequate lighting, so the Lady Elgin didn't see it until it was too late.

By the way, the law [1] right now still gives sailing vessels right of way over motor vessels. The location of the wreck, just offshore from Chicago, 700+ miles from the nearest ocean, is subject to the international treaty governing the avoidance of collisions at sea.

As a side note, when converting the NFA to a DFA, you get an exponential number of states, since each DFA state corresponds to a set of NFA states.
> Call it ADHD if you will, but then pretty much everyone who spends time online has it.

While everyone may experience times that are similar to what is described as ADHD, it only affects about 5% of the general population (and about 8-10% in our industry based on the stackoverflow developer survey).

OP if the meds helped and you find long concentration hard, it could be worth investigating. Worst case you confirm it’s not.

If it is, this isn’t the only place it will affect. And it won’t be recent you’ll have been dealing with this since before you were 12.

Despite its name ADHD isn’t an issue with attention, it’s an executive function disorder. The bigger challenges are with starting, stopping and switching tasks.

Someone with ADHD can be perfectly capable of completing a task, but their brain will not let them do it. No matter their strength of will.

This is a double edged sword with hyperfocus, where you get into a task that you go deep on, and it’s damn near impossible to pull you out of (in some cases, you might not even want to be doing it anymore).

> It's healthy and "normal" to take a breather / quick break every so often.

Yep, Pomodoro is based on this. Depending on the task everyone needs a break.

We give CBD oil to our elderly dog. About 15mg, 2x/day. Dog is ~60lbs.

There may be other (non-THC) cannabinoids/etc involved -- product ingredients are "Broad Spectrum CBD, Hemp Seed Oil", and is sold online as "CBD Oil".

Dogs are not humans of course. I have not tested this product on myself. But I've clearly and immediately observed positive physiological effects after my dog has ingested this product.

These are not laboratory conditions, but our tests were at least moderately-controlled and double-blind. After a couple weeks of varying dosages (including down to zero), we felt further experiments would be unnecessary and unkind.

She has been in good shape ever since, with zero relapses into previous conditions, which were obvious and chronic. We have increased the dosage twice in the intervening ~3 years, when she was starting to show the smallest echo of the old condition. Each increase has had a clear, positive, and immediate (<1 day) effect.

I have no dog in this fight. Well...I have no stake in this discussion of any other sort.

I know how "miracle drug" this sounds, and I apologize if it strains credulity. YMMV. I'm deeply grateful for the impact CBD oil has had on my dog. I hope other dogs are equally fortunate. People too, if it works for them.

I really just think that if someone thinks an institution might disappear with their money they won't use the institution. If the alternative is too much of a hassle, or also seems like it could lead to loses then people will just not use crypto.
10W peltier seems unlikely to help, too little power to do much, & the risk of making things worse. On the plus side, it probably wont freeze & create dew, even if an off Deck is sitting there.

Only Civic Center and 16th Mission are like this. 24th can be a bit gross, but not always. The rest of the system is fairly clean. The problem is that everyone judges the BART by its worst stations but nobody decides whether or not to drive by the horror of a car crash, and that's a cultural issue. Americans culturally erase car trauma but amplify transit trauma.
>people who don't read long things sometimes [...] but they are always profoundly ignorant when it comes to book learning

You seem to have fundamentally misunderstood how this acronym is used.

It's literally just a substitute for "Summary:". An indication to the reader that if they find the article too long to read, they can read the immediately following subsection to get a summary of the article.

Do you also think that people who say "Summary:" are profoundly ignorant? Or are you just against acronyms?
You could replace "money" with any specific area of human expertise. I don't need to fully understand how my body works because my doctor does. I don't need to fully understand how my car works because my mechanic does. I don't need to know how to build my home because my contractors know.

The information is available to those who are interested or want to further that area of human expertise, but the collective knowledge of humanity is too great for all of us to know everything. That's why we pay (mostly) regulated experts to handle these things for us.
Why would they switch? Then their customers couldn't access CCS chargers OR the supercharger network. That's not exactly a selling point, no matter how much money they save on the connector.

Anybody that doesn't support the claim 'X is evil' is apparently a fanboy. Well argued, congratulations. I have already said that I don't actually think Hyperloop is a good idea, but calling it 'evil' is just dumb.

I provided the link to the blue paper. This is the only ever publicly released document about Hyperloop. I can't disprove that there is not a something else, that's impossible.

If you want to make claims, please provide me with the sources. If it was offered to the government to buy, it should be available in public sources. If they received government subsidies then that should be public. Is there a product announcement page? Was their a sales page, or anything like that. That should be on archive.com can you give me a link?

I have been working on an entity matching solution for two years now, and I have decided to write down some of the learning I picked up along the way. Turns out there are too many relevant details to cover in a single post, so I will cover the topic in multiple parts.

This first part is the high-level introduction, useful for project planning and architecture decisions that need to be made early in the development process. Any feedback is welcome, along with wishes for the follow-up parts if you have something specific that you would like to be covered.
Former Jazz bassist as well. Blew my mind when I was in school, all of my teachers insisted that I was the timekeeper, not the drummer. The band might listen to the drummer, but the drummer needed to listen to me.

Once I left school, it quickly became apparent that each band has their own preference for who they should follow. But, that pressure on me really gave me a strong sense of time and rhythm that I tremendously appreciate to this day.
Why would this prove the necessity of regulations? This occurred within the realm of regulations, not in the wild west. FTX.US is a regulated entity in the US, and FTX Intl wasn't available to US customers. Doesn't this prove that calamity happens even despite the regulations
True, and that's why libraries like RE2 don't build full DFAs. They use lazy DFAs. DFA states are compiled as needed. At most one state is built per byte of input, so this sidesteps the exponential time bound.

In all implementations I know of, memory use is bounded. When memory fills up, the cache of DFA states is cleared. If this happens too many times, RE2 quits the lazy DFA and falls back to a Pike VM. (Effectively the Thompson NFA matcher, but with capture group support.)
Basically it amounts to a protection to people so that they won't be forced to sell their home just because property values go up, something that happened quite often before prop 13 went into effect.

Also you can't underestimate moon light either in premodern times. Deep in the trees or an urban landscape with tall buildings all around it is less reliable, but even a half moon on a clear night without washing your vision out with bright artificial lights leaves you with a ton of light. And even when overcast you aren't completely blinded at night as long as you have a decent amount of sky above you.

I think the idea of people sleeping as soon as the sun is down and not just doing low-light activities even 3000 years ago as ridiculous despite being a pervasive idea.

To be clear there's different types of regulations, some we/I personally agree with more than others.

Personally, I agree with you that kyc/aml laws are over the top. I think privacy and money laundering are two things people often conflate, and that privacy is something we should want. (Side tangent - the majority of crypto was not really designed for anonymity or privacy, although that's a whole different topic). People claiming "crypto is just for money laundering" as a reason it's bad should be applying the same logic to physical cash.

What I'm particularly interested in is regulations around the big exchanges to prevent them from putting all of their clients money somewhere stupid, losing it all, and go illiquid.

> At that point, it’s literally cheaper, easier, and safer to just use a normal bank.

I mean yes, an FDIC insured bank is absolutely safer than an unregulated crypto exchange. This is the exact reason why the phrase "not your keys, not your coins" exists, and why everyone says you shouldn't keep your keys on an exchange. Done properly, a crypto wallet should be safer than a bank provided you can assure physical safety and redundancy of your keys.

Part of the problem IMO is that crypto became this "get rich quick" thing - with "exchanges" advertising double digit returns, people using NFTs for art for some reason, etc. I think the technology has uses, but this "get rich quick" bs has been a massive hinderance. I really think this "the point of crypto is to make money" mentality is missing the actual use of it.

tl;dr - a properly used crypto wallet should be safer then a FDIC bank, an FDIC bank is faaar safer then a crypto exchange, there could be more regulation on just the exchanges, and aml/kyc laws are a seperate type of regulation - I was just using these as an example of the US government successfully regulating exchanges.
