Isn't that essentially doing a CRDT, but the replica is the whole datastore?

Ties in nicely with event sourcing - the ordered sequence of events is the CRDT, and sending events between nodes are the delta states.
I had a plugged ear and had to get it cleaned out by a doctor. It was problematic for about 5 years, but I could just push on my ear a bit and hear again. Eventually, that stopped working.

When the doctor cleaned it out, a chunk of earwax about the size of a cigarette butt came out.
Me too. This article is missing one obvious detail. If you rub a Qtip back and forth against your skin, you will find that cotton fibers rub off. It doesn't take much to imagine this same phenomenon is also happening inside your ear canal when you rub the Qtip in there. When it does, those fibers stay inside there, collecting oil and dirt, leading to more earwax build-up, leading to more Qtips, leading to even more cotton fibers, etc. It's just a really bad solution to the problem. You don't need a study for something you can just observe first-hand yourself.

They do make plastic earwax cleaners that don't leave any debris inside your ears when used. Roughly shaped like a Qtip but without the cotton. Pretty cheap and also reusable, unlike Qtips. Available at any local pharmacy.

Found an interesting study about the ACE2 receptors and nicotine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7942220/

Suggest nicotine increases the expression of these receptors and makes covid spread more in vitro. This doesn't really jive with the studies of human population, I guess. It does suggest something weird here.
Oh, glad McKinsey is going to ruin the psychology of a bunch of LGBTQ people with 80 hour work weeks while they union bust foreign nations. You aren't developing shit when every single person you hire leaves after 2 years, don't astroturf this garbage here.

What kind of weak political literacy do we have in America where agencies who literally aligned themselves with tyrannical oppressive dictators who behead rivals and loot the wealth of their own population get an ounce of room to "change" and represent "more diverse opinions".

> I've come to realize Americans are much too paranoid when it comes to food safety

On the contrary, Americans come from a culture where food purveyors will happily kill you for a quick buck. American food safety is highly regulated because the American business model makes that necessary.
While nice, most of those read like a bug fix release, and not a new version of the OS.

I think they got the idea right with Windows 10 being the "last" version and really just shouldn't have moved to Windows 11. It is still my belief that they only did that because Apple dropped the Mac OS X thing.

So the question because whether or not we view Windows 11 and a true new release or just a bunch of point releases rolled up and a version bump for marketing reasons.
> a CBDC would differ materially from cash, which enables anonymous transactions.

Anonymous transactions are possible with a CDBC too. For example as outlined in the link I posted in the message above.

The idea is similar to Gnu Taler: you withdraw CBDC funds onto some physical "cash card". The amount you can do would be limited, just like the amount of cash you withdraw from a a bank is usually limited. But it does mean that how you then spend the tokens on that "cash card" should be as hard or harder to pin to an individual than a cash spend - i.e. nearly impossible.

I only have experience with PCBWay. I'm not associated with them at all, but their service is amazing. I've ordered (in 50+ quantities) five different 3d printed parts. In my case I chose MJF (multijet fusion) as I wanted a semi-professional looking part and had already prototyped using my FDM printer (regular 3d printer) at home. The price is shockingly low (like a couple of dollars per part) and the shipping from China to the US is very fast.

I have also used their CNC milling to make a tool from steel. It was delivered exactly as specified including threaded holes.

It really blows my mind that they can provide these services so cheaply.

Edit: Forgot my favorite feature. Most of the time there is an automatic quote for the price. It gets reviewed by a human, but I've only ever see it go down, not up, after review. Other services really want a human to look things over first which turns me off as I don't want to wait several days to hear that it is too expensive.
The key part of the law is "know or SHOULD HAVE KNOWN"

They can not claim poor record keeping and ignorance as an excuse for filing false reports, they SHOULD HAVE KNOWN, which is part of the intent standard in most jurisdictions

1, 2, even 10 reports ok... they suck. 100's of false reports, that is beyond simple clerical error it would not take much to convince a jury that intent is there. i.e they internally setup the process that lead to false reports being filed likely as a say to cut costs
And also hindsight filters. No one remembers the crap movies from 1982. We remember the best-of-80s.

So we're comparing {recent movies} to {decades of best movies}.
I agree with this in principle, however it seems proprietary cloud services often make development workflows more complicated, offsetting their operational simplicity and cost savings.

That makes it harder to tell what the right call is in any given situation.

> I was wrongly given to the police of my country, and it took 5 minutes to clear me and nothing happened.

That's great that worked well for you, but in America, I don't have enough faith in cops for that to work out.

The prevailing attitude is that cops have to be "tough on crime", and if some false positives end up happening and an innocent person goes to jail for a few days until their name gets cleared, that's fine. In the mean time, they'll try to find SOMETHING to charge them with.

Land of the free, indeed.
Voting ID rules isn't just a state thing. On June 17, 2013, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that states cannot require proof of citizenship in cases of voter registration for federal elections unless the state receives federal or court approval to do so. That is the feds have said the states can't just solve that for themselves.

The state I live in (Arizona) requires proof your presence is authorized to get state ID. If you are a citizen, that means proof of citizenship. But then loop back to supreme court decision above.

G1GC should be completely suitable, you can try with ZGC or Shenondoah. Both have some memory "penalty", each object takes a bit more memory, so with change you will see 5-15% increase memory usage. This would be normal.

G1GC should be fine, so enable GC logging, analyse them using:

https://www.tagtraum.com/gcviewer.html

or

https://gceasy.io/

You can log GC for long time with rotation, something like this https://dzone.com/articles/try-to-avoid-xxusegclogfilerotati...

For the GC analysing you will be looking for tenured generation, so must add this flag: -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution

You would be looking for GC major and GC evacuation times. Major GCs are STW and take more time, so overall the goal is to eliminate them as much as possible.

I usually find it very important to have charts of heap usage. Overall heap allocated (all regions) vs complete heap size. The same for non-heap area.

More over, the original “don’t waste your food” trope hides hypocrisy, because those parents don’t necessarily care about African children. They care about cleaning up. Some actually care about Africa, but it’s disjoint from keeping kids clean.
> You’re right. Apple is taking the Mac less seriously. It’s not like they just designed an entire line of processors just for the Mac and created laptops that are the fastest in the industry with three times the battery life.

The Mac hardware is still taken seriously. The software is not, in the sense that the distinction between iOS and macOS (which I value) is being—not just negligently but intentionally—erased.

(To be sure, there are people for whom that's a good thing, and maybe even objectively, on average, it's a good thing. But I think it's hard to argue that Apple as a company cares about what OS X used to be.)
Going off your point, even if we aren't quite there yet, there is no reason to suppose that AI won't eventually be massively better at basically ALL things than humans - that's certain the direction we're headed, and very quickly too.

This is just the very beginning of the problem. It's time for people to start thinking about how to live in a world where they are "obsolete". All jobs, or, being conservative, at least the vast, vast majority will eventually be replaced by AI. AI will eventually be able to create art that is more appealing to humans than human-created art. I think there could eventually even be AI "people", who's company many people will prefer to other actual humans, as they will be designed/trained to be as perfect as possible for that task. I hope that most people will still see more value in genuine human interaction, as any person today probably would, but as tech evolves and we get used to it, let it into our lives more, let it control more of our lives and make more of our decisions, then it advances more and we get used to it more, etc. The idea of human connection and the separation between human life and AI "life" might not be as apparent to people as it is to us, and they may allow AI and technology to replace every facet of human existence
Whether it's an improvement matters, actually that's explicitly the only point.

I think another important aspect overlooked is that there probably will be AI engine optimization consultants once any AI engine gains popularity - similar to Search Engine Optimziation consultants. The original Google page rank system worked well in the beginning - prior to SEO - but now is largely not used.

AI engine optimization consultants will figure out how to game the system - likely targeting the training data sources.

> If you have already decided to bike, the article's information means that passing a mandatory helmet law is expected to make you less safe

You can change your decision of whether to bike or not based on information about the effects of mandatory helmet laws. Some people might choose not to bike any more based on that information.

But if, taking the effects of those laws into account, you still decide to bike, the article says nothing to contradict the obvious common sense that you'll still be better off wearing a helmet than not.
Power usage is the problem. Running a machine that uses 10x more power to accomplish same task that a Pi could is an issue.
I see these donation requests at many places when I check out in the US. For example, PetCo will ask if you would "like to donate to save pets lives" and it seems reasonable to assume that they treat the donation in a similar fashion to CVS in this case.

That's not to say that this isn't fraudulent, just pointing out that this seems to be a very common practice. Never once have I believed that I would be donating directly to the charity (this is despite the phrasing rather than because of it) and, indeed, it seems much more like I am simply increasing the amount of my transaction in order to get [the retailer] to agree to donate the amount of the increase to charity. Given that context, I've never once considered following through; if anything I would ask the cashier, "Which charity is it?" so I can just donate myself.

I believe at least one benefit of this for the retailer is the ability to claim this (not technically a) "donation" as revenue, which they then actually donate for the tax benefit. Of course they want the consumer to spend an extra (up to) $1 so the retailer 1) gets that as additional revenue and 2) avoids paying taxes on this revenue.

It's nice to see this being called out in a class-action suit; hopefully something comes of it.
That is definitely true, that knowing and understanding a tool is not important to actually succeeding with the tool. But it does help a confused person understand why tools are made the way they are.

In Fact, Modern programs in CAD do not follow the tools and principles that AutoCAD emphasizes. And those programs have charted a different course where the history and legacy of technical drawings has less relevance. (Case in point: Visio and maybe Powerpoint.)
You're moving the goalposts. He claimed Win 11 brings no fixes over Win 10, and I proved him wrong, not what features Microsoft removed over the years and brough back with Win 11. And what's wrong with them bringing back older features? You're making it sound like that's a bad thing.

The point was that Win 11 is far more polished and feature compete than Windows 10, yet people somehow gloss over this and pretend that Win 10 is somehow better (it's not, it's really janky and backwards in comparison, just look at the settings menu and dark mode implementation). Win 11 really fixes many of Windows 10's shortcomings and jank.
It's not about ethics, it's about what's reasonable. Yeah it sucks that the author can't uphold the lifetime license, but the alternative is that he closes up shop. $20 frickin dollars, man. Less than $1 per year, and you're complaining about ethics. Some people enjoy eating and paying for housing.

Nobody wants to be your customer with the expectation that they are cheated out of value. However, who has been cheated out of value in this case? Noone. The app provided more than $1/year of value for its users. Whoever paid for mirc got their money's worth and more.

I'd love to see a poll about what percentage of people complaining about ethics have ever run a small business. I stopped developing iOS apps, because it's not possible to write the software once and charge once. You have to grind through bullshit API changes every year, and users want something for nothing.
DeepMind published a system that does sort this with a backend theorem prover a year ago. My point is, I don’t think transformer based text prediction systems are the right model here.

I resonate a lot with what you said. Homework or in the way it is used today as reinforcement work is most needed for those who have trouble picking up new concepts during limited instruction time. However, those who have trouble picking up concepts quickly will also have overlap with not having much time/resources outside of live instruction time. That just leads to a double whammy in terms of how homework further disadvantages them.

In the reading I've done, I've seen most advocate for smaller class sizes with more educators per class to help provide more 1:1 attention. This is again at odds with how public schools are funded where I am (US) so I don't know if anything will ever change.

My personal experience is homework was an excellent way to reinforce what was taught in school. For me, it felt especially useful in quantitative subjects and languages (French & Spanish) which both felt like they benefitted from having a concept stick. For qualitative subjects like writing, reading comprehension, I actually now look back and see homework as a way for teachers to see samples of your progress. "After reading this passage, did you learn how to construct a summary? Did you learn how to pull the author's main message? Did you learn how to make a convincing argument for or against the passage's main point" and I can't think of a fast way to do this in any kind of live instruction setting.
Are there any articles explaining how this works? What exactly is the classifier keying in on that indicates LLM text so reliably?

Have you considered your own bias? Apple automatically caps battery charging at 80% but it is algorithmically controlled instead of a manual toggle. I would like the manual target, too, but if your narrative were accurate they would not have implemented the feature to begin with.

Yes! We call this the "Merge Type" of data in the braid.org group.

Each datum as both a data type and a merge type. The programmer just needs to specify these two types, and then the programming runtime can choose which synchronization algorithm to use.

This was my thought as well, but I still think we need evidence of this. If air marshals are primarily there to deal with terrorist threats (and not things like unruly/drunk/whatever passengers), then my feeling is that two things post-9/11 are responsible for the low risk of terrorist acts involving planes (or even just run-of-the-mill ransom-type hijackings):

1. Would-be hijackers can no longer get into cockpits. Pilots would much rather a hijacker kill every passenger and crew member on the plane than gain control of the plane.

2. Passengers don't take shit anymore. They know that, if terrorists successfully take control of a plane, the most likely outcome is that they're all dead. So they'll attack -- and hopefully subdue -- the hijackers.

I expect the effects of #2 have lessened somewhat, given that 9/11 was over 20 years ago, and the memory of it is less raw (not to mention many adults who fly now were young children or not even born in 2001).

If air marshals really do act as a deterrence, there must be some evidence to back that up.

I swear I've looked into firebase multiple times and I have no idea how they actually detect and handle conflicts. They just hand-wave that it works offline... not that comforting.

Regardless, there's no one size fits all for offline. Approaches that work for append only data don't work for data where multiple nodes are doing destructive updates. And even if you're doing that, some data is amenable to deterministic merging (ie, CRDTs) and some you need a user to step in to decide (revision based multi-master systems, prior art being Pouch/Couch or indeed git).

Basically if you can tell me what exactly a taskmanager is and how it might be updated I might be able to say something more helfpul!
