I would nitpick that it needs to be correctly orientated such that it's perpendicular to the horizon. This is of course convenient to do but is important when placing your own smaller antennas vs say putting them at off angles or parallel to the horizon.

Many small antennas like say for cellular use will list large gain numbers, and many people will buy based one having more gain than another. The ones with more gain typically have radiation patterns less uniform than a dipole and may pick up better to certain sides, even though they aren't an obvious single direction antenna like a Yagi or marketed as such.
Maybe it would be better to use AI on the test side of TDD. Have the AI listen to the requirements and write tests. Have the human write code to the tests and update the nonsensical parts of AI generated tests.
The problem with these generative systems is that they're synthesizing existing code and their output isnt therefore always valid. Ie., they arent programming (which involves following discrete constraints of the language).

They are, therefore, largely tools for power-users. You need to understand why codepiolt/etc. is suggesting a completion before its actually useful.

The descriptions made absolute sense to me, the target audience - someone developing with these systems. You can complain about it if you want, but it's like complaining that serverless things need servers underneath - maybe technically accurate but not a helpful discussion to have.
> The only thing relevant here is that blockchain data is almost exclusively append-only and so you can build something neater because you've got guarantees that many other problems don't have.

Append only databases have been around for decades.

Heck Kafka is an obscenely popular example today.

I've talked to people working in fields with legally mandated immutable databases, again decades old technology. In the most extreme cases the immutability is enforced using technology, such as a storage medium that only supports writing and not deleting or changing data once it has been written.

Distributed append only databases based on not trusting the people you are doing business with, and where writes cost small fortune, sure, that is new.

But the # times I want to make large transactions where:

1. I don't trust the other party
2. I can't use one of the insanely well trusted escrow agencies, some of whom have been around for literally hundreds of years and have built up trust accordingly
3. I am OK with the transaction not being reversible through the typical legal system remedies

is miniscule.

The idea of a distributed ownership ledger is more interesting, but again, if you have any level of trust with your partners, it is cheaper to throw away the entire proof of X system and replace it with a regular append only database.

That said, the provided service may very well be a better way to access existing web3 services.

> nor a sense that its heading somewhere and carving its own valuable niche

The major niche has been carved long ago. Low cost code for budget conscience clients. PHP has long been the easiest on-ramp to webdev for many folks and some of the things out of it Wordpress specifically, can be utilized to cover a vast number of rather low complexity needs. If you consult with budget conscience clients, you likely find PHP indispensable. If you (or your employer) are building your own software product, you care more about DX and such and have chosen something else. In both scenarios, the end users of the product do not give a damn what it was built with.
The humanity of being asked two simple questions about what work you're doing. It's shocking. I know. But I've worked at a few companies where they rolled the standup out to otherd departments.

If you honestly think being asked those 2 simple questions is not being treated well. You're going to have a hard life.
I didn't say they were unique, so we agree I guess.

70 days from indictment or arraignment to trial, 30 days from arrest to information or indictment, under the Speedy Trial Act of 1974. But those timelines can be paused for many reasons. (Enforcement of the Constitutional rule does not use a hard timeline, but looks holistically at the length, reason, ans effect of delay and whether and how the defendant has asserted his right.)

It’s not that simple though, is it.

There are plenty of highly paid engineers who couldn’t build a decent product given all the coffee in Shoreditch.

As a non-tech person, how do I know to whom I should give all this money? Maybe a hands-off CTO or a hands-on architect cum engineering manager? Or a product person? Or maybe a skilled UX designer? Or a good infrastructure person? Or a DBA, and in which database? Or should I lower the money and get cheaper people in all those roles? Or maybe outsource the whole thing to an agency?

There are plenty of stories of companies who have hired all the above on good money and built an over-engineered, unmaintainable mess that solved zero real world problems.

I would argue that instead of money, you should build it with patience. Hire slowly. Solve one small problem at a time.

good old O&G industry, buying back shares at the top of the cycle.
It’s not a trade off. They’ve not been able to do something that is doable and are trying to tell you it is a trade off.
What they don't get outside of Big Tech is that non-junior developers are (relative to the traditional pre-software 20th century industrial business model) more like managers than like line workers. It's just that the "workers" we manage are robots.

But even a pretty low level developer is going to end up making important business decisions just incidentally as part of their job, because it's hard to specify out every little decision that could impact the business without basically doing the dev's job for them.

Businesses can embrace that or they can ignore it at their peril.
Agreed that this is low probability. But it did strike me that the Nazi brass were most interested in such a crash program, at one point declaring that it should be given top priority. What dissuaded them were the apparent failures of early efforts and lack of confidence of the scientists themselves — the scientists got hung up on use of heavy water as a neutron moderator, among other suboptimal practical decisions.

What you should always do is to write your own code outside of the framework and pass in values or plain class objects from the framework to your code to avoid that the framework taints the entire project.

There's only one Q.

Open source K is likely compatible with ngn/k or oK, both of which are based on k6. There are minor differences between these 2 implementations (one is browser-native, the other isn't) but for the most part code should work identically on both.

Q: https://code.kx.com/q/

ngn/k: https://codeberg.org/ngn/k

oK: https://github.com/JohnEarnest/ok/
Surprised this sentiment is so common. It's like, do you want open source devs to work for free forever? Even Redis had to pivot to a business license.

I'm not sure what the terms are in this particular case, but in general, wanting someone to pay if they're deploying it to lots of customers seems reasonable.
> The amount of comments in here who think that SBF is going to walk away scot free is unbelievable.

Well, it depends on what example you want to compare SBF to.

Maybe this will be like Bernie Madoff, and SBF will die in jail.

Or maybe this will be like the 2008 financial crisis, with barely any punishment and most of the people who caused the crash gifted billions of dollars of taxpayers' money.

Maybe it will be like Elizabeth Holmes, and SBF will get 10 years in jail.

Or maybe it will be like the Panama Papers and Paradise Papers, where there appear to be substantial crimes revealed, and yet somehow nobody gets prosecuted.

Maybe it will be like George Floyd, and stealing $20 is enough to get someone killed on the spot, let alone a billion dollars.

Or maybe, like Ghislaine Maxwell was prosecuted for trafficking minors to have sex with... nobody, apparently... it'll turn out any evidence of other people's involvement has somehow vanished in a puff of smoke.

Maybe it will be like Enron's Kenneth Lay, and he'll be found guilty and face a big jail sentence.

Or maybe, like the Bhopal disaster or the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the corporation will pay some money but despite corporations being comprised of nothing except people, somehow no people will face any punishment.

My intuition is SBF won't manage to avoid prosecution - He hasn't managed to spread the blame thinly enough, he isn't a prince, and $70 million in donations don't make you into Scooter Libby. But in the American justice system, it can really go either way.

The grand jury part of the process has nothing to do with the speedy trial clause because a) the grand jury part of the process is non-adversarial (so the potential defendant doesn't even know about it), b) it precedes indictment.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Acosta

It is possible that he didn't belong to intelligence -- but still got people within the DOJ to assert falsely that he was so that he could be exempt from the consequences of his crimes. It just goes to show the core of my post's assertions, that Epstein was exempt from the normal criminal process for decades due to his position as a prominent child sex trafficker.

It is so convenient that Madoff was the single mastermind behind everything and his children knew absolutely nothing.

When the scam fell apart he even confessed to them so they could immediatelly report him to the FBI.

After all they didnt know anything!

He definitely did everything on his own and definitely didnt make this move to save his children.

The fact that Madoff is the only one in prison while his innocent children and innocent employees are free shows that the justice system works!

Please re-read what I wrote. Was it really unclear? I said that if a child is bathing independently that it is not appropriate to barge in and take pictures of them. They would be at least 5 or 6 years old at that point. Is that prudish? Why is everyone so emotional about this? All I said was that it was a terrible and inaccurate argument to talk about pictures of a child in a bath because that is not what flagged the algorithm and there is no such thing as a child's first bath.

Please try to parse a response before yelling at someone for something they didn't state.

I would like to see a glibc version of Alpine.

My favorite feature (the killer feature) of Alpine is that rootfs is not persistent. Persistent storage actually only contains the base system itself and each package you install. On startup, the system is loaded into a tmpfs and all your packages are loaded on top of it. I've successfully created a desktop install using this method, it boots off a USB stick and the only persistent partition is /home. I find the cleanliness of this extremely impressive.

IIRC, it only works this way if you don't use the official installer, which wants to make a persistent rootfs. I feel like Alpine has shown me "true level" [0] and I feel dirty using any distro with a persistent rootfs... in fact it's the single largest reason why I haven't felt motivated to try Linux in a while (aside from KISS since it was interesting enough).

There are no other distros like this, so the fact that it uses musl is a little disappointing if I want to use it as a desktop (which I know it's not designed for).

NixOS comes close, but is fully declarative and I don't really want to learn a new DSL today. I should probably just settle and go with Arch or something.

I've created a similar repo of puzzles, including Advent of Code, but solved in the Whitespace programming language. Even otherwise easy puzzles are made significantly more difficult in Whitespace, as it is a quite low-level language.

That depends on what you mean by ‘crashing,’ doesn’t it?

One could at least fail gracefully: at start-up, request enough memory for a buffer reading ‘request to allocate memory failed; exiting’ and then print it to standard output, then exit.

One might initiate a garbage collection cycle.

One might even allocate enough buffers at start-up to cleanly process outstanding work, write results and then terminate.

It requires a little thought and engineering, but there are approaches which don’t just dump core.

> you would be able to point to an existing system that has demonstrated the capability of classifying an image set on the order of iCloud's, without producing a false-positive.

This is not relevant to what I was saying; it sounds like you might be mixing up collisions with false positives.

As I said before:

> Remember – I said “basically nil when you use them in the way Apple was proposing (two separate hashes; several matches required)”, and not that a single hash function wouldn’t ever produce a single collision for a single image. Do you really disagree with that?

The relevant false positive is when an account gets flagged by Apple. That’s when it actually matters; that is what we don’t want to happen; that is what Apple are describing as a one in a trillion chance. The rate of hash collisions are only important as an input to that larger system.

That “number of samples”? It’s not the number of images in the whole of iCloud. It’s the number of Apple accounts. It doesn’t matter what happens “approaching infinity”, it matters what happens in the range zero to eight billion. We have a known upper bound, and it is substantially less than infinity. It doesn’t matter if a false positive is guaranteed “approaching infinity”, what matters is the likelihood of a false positive for any Apple account. That is not guaranteed, and actually extremely unlikely.

Also, just checking – you do understand that iCloud is using perceptual hashes and that it’s iMessage that uses an image classifier, right? Perceptual hashes aren’t normally referred to as image classifiers and aren’t really doing the same sort of thing as OCR; with OCR you need to output a token even if the shape is uncertain, but that failure case doesn’t exist for perceptual hashes because the result is just that there isn’t a match. What would be a false positive in the OCR case would be a false negative in the perceptual hash case, which we don’t care about for the purpose of this discussion.

This is a very poor framing. The following things are both true:

1) Tesla's technical achievement with the degree of self driving they've already shown is very impressive

2) It absolutely is not ready for regulatory approval and production use.

Tesla's software is NOT a 100 foot pier. Is it 30% of the distance across the pacific ocean? Is it 80% but the last 20% is deep choppy waters? Who knows.

Videos of self-driving show the driver intervening about, what, less than 1% of the time? Or maybe 5% of the "decisions"? Now, the standard for autonomous driving is probably in the .0001% of the time, and a lot of that would be winter/weather related and good error handling (just stop the car or recognize an area is a difficult area and pre-warn the driver).

It is amazing how much a CEO doing annoying tweets morphs the objectivity of people on a site that is ostensibly about engineering and rational thought.

How many other companies have shown concept cars of EVs and "when we have self driving" cars with no steering wheels and people seated around a table in a car? Hell, look at this:

https://electrek.co/2022/11/28/stellantis-relaunches-lancia-...

It doesn't have wheels! It doesn't even appear to be touching the ground! And it's the lead image for one of the biggest foot-dragging idiots 15 years after the reality of a production EV trying to say "hey we'll be good at EVs now that literally every carmaker is way ahead of us" and also "please don't fire me as CEO".

THAT is a 100 foot pier.

You want fraud? The last 50 years of petroleum + ICE car companies in lockstep to ignore carbon emissions.

So what were Tesla people buying with "full self driving"? Parlor tricks to impress other people with, and nothing more. Was it oversold? Yeah, but so is everything else in marketing.

I would say full self driving was only slightly more oversold than the IoT smarthome (hey, you know all that stuff that lasts 30 years that you replaced with IoT stuff two years ago? Yeah we don't want to support the software anymore). Full Self Driving is LESS hyped that virtually all crypto.

A couple more steps past crypto, and you get to Theranos.
