That doesn't sound comforting to me. Wow my life sucks right now but at least I'll be able to relive it exactly as it is again-and-again forever.
This is a massive problem right across biology. When we talk about heritability people assume we mean causal genetics for some trait. What we actually mean is all the genetic variation that is causal and all the genetic variation that is correlated (by chance) with the trait. The latter are effectively instrumental variables that are predictive but not causal.

I love this. It's great PR and it works on me. $10B's to basically replay moon missions from 50 years ago. Needs to be done to maintain spacefaring competency but, done that.

But use like 0.01% of the payload hauling capacity if this thing to take up a bunch of cute cube sats just makes it all so much more interesting and fun to follow. I especially love the one that intends to land.
We don't entirely know. The fact that the other Tornado Cash contributors weren't similarly arrested may be informative.
Blockchain is one technology that has a myriad of use cases. One of the critical ones is value transfer infrastructure. You cannot "decentralize the web" if you cannot monetize it in a non-censorable way. Otherwise you get situations like Paypal, which recently added a $2500 threat to its TOS that if you speak incorrectly, they will fine your account. Or the Canadian trucker protest earlier this year, where their bank accounts were frozen because tyrants run the world right now. You cannot have real freedom without the ability to transact freely.

You also cannot fund decentralized infrastructure, like data storage nodes, without creating decentralized, permissionless incentives to run and operate file storage hardware. That's where token incentives come in. It's not rent seeking, it's effective

Tell me how you would effectively archive censor-resistant data without blockchain? How could you guarantee that a file was stored and available for many years and do so such that no central party could arbitrarily take the content down?
The file title is the file name so what ever's invalid for a file name is invalid as a title.

But there are some work arounds:
- Disabling inline title and setting the document title yourself with what ever characters
- Using aliases (in the YAML front matter) so you can search a document with it's special character title, and auto-set a link's custom text
If you want a long term snapshot of other people's packages, the onus is on you to store them indefinitely. Packages can be pinned and installed from a local folder.

He built a special backend endpoint so he could move money from FTX to Alameda without triggering any oversight or audits. They have him on fraud.
The next bit of that exchange is: "each individual decision seemed fine and I didn't realize how big their sum was until the end".

That's a classic "ends justify the means" slippery slope.

And even if he didn't want or mean to, he was more than happy to engage in that kind of behaviour if needed.

Someone like that is absolutely a terrible person in my book. I would not trust or be friends with someone who has that attitude. He is more concerned with "winning" than behaving ethically.

Imagine if you were an FTX employee, customer or investor who was in the dark. Would you really just chalk this up to playing "a little too fast and loose with an explosively growing business"? Would you be happy to work with SBF again? I know I wouldn't.
Well, it's really tough, because (1) every operation has to check if the calling entity is authorized, (2) changes need to propagate super quickly, and (3) performance needs to be pretty much realtime.

At some level every API call is authorized (and tracked).

To be honest, this is one of the secret sauces that makes AWS go. Someone once told me that they're not doing anything exciting, just caching, but I'm pretty sure they didn't really know what was going on.

Yeah, right now signal/noise for this statement is huge, because IMO at most 50% of people (likely much less, only the kind of people who are more used to graphs than mountains) who have a good grasp of English but have never heard this expression might get the wrong idea when they hear it for the first time. If we try to invert the meaning it will reduce signal/noise, because the vast majority of people who know the original meaning will now have less information about what you actually mean. We basically have two sensible choices: leave things as is or invent a new phrase which captures the idea even better than the current one.
The problem is that you have people with these bots at all, and it should be clear that in the absence of mitigations, these networks of bots can be trivially retargeted.

Speculation, and artificial scarcity through predatory automation is the issue.

No one wants to concede that though, because that'd put a giant spotlight on what is a disproportionate part of the finance industry, and start prompting serious questions around whether or not this type of thing is desirable behavior worthy of tolerance from them.
I don't think the wealth fund has much to do with this: it doesn't seem like it's significantly more expensive than other options, and indeed the video implies it's a cost savings over diesel. I do agree that this isn't really a general purpose solution, as it's not feasible on wide or busy waterways. What makes it work for Norway is that they've got a lot of little inhabited islands.
I think hydrogen vehicles are impractical.

In my area hydrogen fuel is ~ $20/kg, and 1 kg ~ 1 gallon of gas.
The high pressure hydrogen tanks are bulky, expensive and have a lifetime.

I think a comparison to CNG is in order.

For a long time there was a push for Compressed Natural Gas vehicles, and many were made. There were ford pickup trucks and police cars, honda had a CNG accord. CNG is 1 carbon and 4 hydrogen - CH4. With a little fiddling, it can be used directly in a gasoline engine. You still need a catalytic converter because the high temperature combustion creates smog (NO)

Natural gas was more widely available (it comes out of the ground), and costs were usually less or at worst similar to gasoline.

The vehicles had storage tanks ~ 3000 psi (much lower than hydrogen). They were bulky and usually took up the entire trunk of a vehicle. The tanks also have a lifetime.

They kind of worked, but just the same, they needed subsidies to survive. Now they are basically all gone.
I've seen some imperative code in the wild that looks like this:

bool go = true;
if (go) doA(&go);
if (go) doB(&go);
if (go) doC(&go);

As a functional thinker, this is "just" an encoding of the Maybe monad, so I actually quite like it. If you care about small efficiency wins, though, it's not great -- an early bail means checking all the remaining conditions. It's cute though!

I'm generally pretty okay with similar patterns over accumulators, as long as it's clear that the purpose of that variable is to be an accumulator. If we're just overwriting a variable because we don't need the old value anymore, or something like that, I'm much less charitable.

A big benefit of functional programming, for me, is to learn the safe roads as explicitly as possible, so that you can then identify (and use) them when they aren't so well signposted.

> for some reason, I tend to interpret a written message in a much worse way than I do a message that is communicated verbally.

There doesn't seem to be many responses that address this part of what you wrote, so I hope this reaches you well. Let me try to rephrase it to see if I'm understanding it. It's that you feel like the absence of vocal inflection and non-verbal cues lead you to interpreting Slack messages in a more negative light than you feel you should be? And this is adding up, yes?

If I'm in the ballpark, I might suggest chatting with a therapist. You sound like you've identified the distal cause, but understanding the root of the issue is going to be instrumental to identifying the necessary changes to get you on the right track. While I believe the responses you have received are well-intentioned, it's my belief that you'll likely make great strides by talking with someone who can engage you with real conversation and have a back and forth and cooperative approach to figuring this out.

I hope that no matter the path you follow, you end up working it out. It sounds like it's impacting your life in a pretty big way. Take care
Chapter 2 (iirc, or at least an early one) of a well-known textbook also expects you to do this. It is non-obvious, but so are a lot of real problems.

I agree it’s probably mostly memorized as an answer today, but I don’t think it’s fundamentally a bad question.
IMHO you shouldn't have worked for Amazon in the first place. Most of what they do is more negative than positive for society overall. Good that you're out of there - please consider doing something more redeeming with your skills.

When I see stuff like this sometimes I get depressed that I'm building apps that just move little bits of information around the web and don't have any real demonstrable value to the world.

How hard is the jump into the realm of computer vision/AI/robotics for someone with strong skills and experience building web applications? Is the coding much different? Is a company like this employing math/theroy-heavy people to develop new types of AI or are they working higher up the stack and just need people who can pipe data around?
It was much better 5+ years ago. It's impossible to maintain high code standards when a company grows as fast as Google has. Eventually the law of large numbers applies. It's probably still better due to starting from a stronger base, but they are all converging.
too bad, it's a great company name that inspires confidence... until you read a comment like this!
> I guess ML workloads are huge and here to stay.

My only caution on that is that I think their moat on ML is much shallower than people think. nVidia has traditionally maintained their position as the top dog in GPGPU by being first to provide good hardware and software, having markets lock in on that software, and then able to later sell more hardware at very good margins. Even when AMD (and others) later provide hardware that provides much better perf/cost for the same workload, at that point everyone already has a small mountain of tightly optimized cuda, and the cost/benefit of switching hardware providers just isn't there.

I really don't think this is going to work in ML. At their core, the ML algorithms are generally simple enough to fit on a blackboard, and are relatively much more easy to efficiently parallelize and optimize on diverse hardware. nVidia has again managed to capture most of a nascent market by being the first with adequate hardware and software to support it. But I think in a couple of years there are going to be a lot more competitors in this space, and unlike with previous GPGPU work, it will not be that painful for the end-user to shop around.

This won't mean that AMD (or someone else! this space is much easier to enter than GPUs in general) will capture the value from nVidia. Instead it will mean that the entire space will be commoditized and the margins will absolutely collapse.
I’m korean and I bet they are just initialisms for searching purposes.

I can see apple implementing such feature via keywords as korean initials logics are not very useful aside from korea.

Completely disagree. Once you finish unlearning the patterns you're used to from other languages, there's nothing simpler than FP patterns. The hard part is not learning the thing, it's unlearning what you've already learned.
Those would look like training wheels and looks are everything in these devices.
Yes, my writing wasn't very clear either.

Your infrastructure imposes a cost structure. Any scalable algorithm will give you sublinear performance gains while you add those costs. At some point, the costs explode, and solving more of the problem isn't economical anymore. Thus, any algorithm will have a maximum capacity at your infrastructure. (1000 RPS is quite low tough, it may have been a bad example.)
GitHub always freaks out at me when I include text that even looks like a PEM cert. Too bad they can't scan for AWS key / secret variables too.

When to choose Redpanda instead of Apache Kafka?
Data streaming emerged as a new software category. It complements traditional middleware, data warehouse, and data lakes. Apache Kafka became the de facto standard. New players enter the market because of Kafka’s success. One of those is Redpanda, a lightweight Kafka-compatible C++ implementation. This blog post explores the differences between Apache Kafka and Redpanda, when to choose which framework, and how the Kafka ecosystem, licensing, and community adoption impact a proper evaluation.
Mushroom spores are legal in most US states because they don't contain psilocybin (in contrast to cannabis seeds being illegal - they contain trace amounts of THC).

You used to need a pressure cooker and a lot of supplies. However, with the advent of the Uncle Ben's method, you just need some bagged rice from the store, a legal spore syringe purchased online, and a bit of curiousity, community reading, and time. There is a subreddit dedicated to it: /r/UncleBens

Many choose to innoculate in the bags and then transfer to a fruiting tub, but it works just as well if you never remove them from the bag - just a smaller yield. Perfect for you and a couple friends.

ETA it probably doesn't need to be said, but if you aren't anti-crypto and are short on time, there are easier and much faster ways to get them.
But all existing ML models are still pretty clearly inadequate for their purpose, and require vastly more training. Meaning you can't just stop investing in hardware or your competitors will have a much better model than you in a couple of years.
I genuinely do not believe any OneWheel riders are in this category. Loads of things aren't safe and we still let people ride them. I don't have a OneWheel, but my friends and I have beat those light-up speed signs enough times on bikes, longboards, skateboards, you name it.

It's fun as fuck, and maybe you can die so you should wear a helmet but preventing people from playing with death is bullshittery.

That bothered me too, the default function for Ctrl-W in ipython is unix-word-rubout from python-prompt-toolkit [1], which uses spaces for word boundaries. You can rebind it to backward-kill-word so it uses "not a letter nor a digit" as a word boundary.

How many times do you need to get dunked on before you stop promoting this waste of an app
Just on the Frohnhoefer situation, I'm trying to understand the hostility toward Musk expressed in postings here (https://twitter.com/EricFrohnhoefer/status/15919022854034186...) and here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33603418#33603908).

In the Twitter exchange, Musk apologizes for poor performance of the app in some countries, without naming any names, then when an engineer publicly challenges him, he publicly responds, ultimately resulting in the employee's public termination.

Maybe Musk should have taken the discussion offline (in other words not continue it publicly), but anyway the engineer, in my opinion, probably shouldn't have gone public unless he was just looking to virally add to his follower count by dissing a controversial new owner in public.

Also, Frohnhoefer actually had a line in his Twitter status "still at @twitter, open to new opportunities" or something like that. I guess that was his point.
Has the tooling gotten dramatically worse in the past 5 years? I willingly left almost exactly 5 years ago because my team's responsibilities had shifted too much, but I remember the tooling being pretty great. Also, everyone being more or less on the same stack also meant that there was a ton of resources to solve problems, just search the wiki for your error message. I still miss how well Odin worked for service credential management, nothing I've used since comes remotely close to how seamless it worked.

Also, I found the PIP process to be overly dramatized relative to my experience. I had a PIP imposed on me a couple years before I willingly left, and I "graduated" out of it with support and cooperation of my manager. Everyone involved seemed to want me to succeed.

Also, when I left, I opted into a second PIP, because HR and my manager wanted me to leave on good terms. Doing so let me get severance while quitting (it was ~3 months worth based on my 5+ year tenure). I'm not sure if this option still works though.
Governments already observe most every financial transaction, either because they run the money transmission system (ACH/FedWire/etc), or because countries with VAT send every invoice to the tax office. It's not clear how a CBDC is actually different from the current system, but insofar as it isn't different, it's not less private.

> reorganizing an outline and having the text update to reflect that higher-level reorganization

Can you elaborate on this particular point and how you would see it work in a collaborative doc/workspace?

Outlining is very underrated as a method of editing and organization, and most outliners are often designed for offline and personal use. I can see a lot of potential in adding automation to how you can organize and connect multiple nodes across outlines.

> SecureBio’s co-founder, Kevin Esvelt, a biologist at MIT, says the nonprofit is avoiding use of its Future Fund grant money for now, except to pay the salaries of the three newly hired people. “We don’t think it is right that anyone should lose their jobs over a financial calamity totally unrelated to the excellent work they are doing,” Esvelt says.

All this discussion about weather the scientists should vet or not is irrelevant when they have 100% certain proof that the donated money they are spending is stolen, and they are keeping on using it...
