Absolutely on point.

Postgres can and will scale to workloads that average developers can't comprehend. I've used Postgres professionally since 2003 doing everything from run of the mill web work to high volume log aggregation systems with massive datasets. Postgres can ingest and index hundreds of thousands of records per second on pretty modest hardware by today's standards. One just needs to learn the tool.

Postgres is far more "boring" and battle tested than Redis. All the hipster tech that came out of Web 2.0 companies (including Cassandra and Redis) has hallmarks of being built by junior developers who refused to learn and then build upon state of the art and went on to reinvent many wheels quite poorly.
Heh, well making your product worse for more revenue seems pretty warped, and increases the risk of lost market share. Even more warped is having 2 of your engineers join the Debian technical committee and use the bylaws to force a vote before anyone figures out exactly what SystemD is.
I'm confused. In your first comment you seemed to refer to legitimate sites harvesting credentials using Google SSO (whatever that means)

Now you're talking about phishing sites.

Implementing these library/frameworks are just a small piece of the application. You implement strict development policies and standards that these frameworks wrap around, fit within the architecture. Too many devs rely on the framework to be the architecture.

A SPA is a piece of an overall architecture and these frameworks are still just a piece of the overall architecture.

Almost all of these frameworks can/will assist in strict standardization. Bootstrap is a good example. BS with a well designed style guide is a blessing, without it's the wild west. Angular, React, Vue are all very useful (back button included) if thought out and as part of an architecture.

In the end, they get you much further along with support, than a team could do with vanilla.

> generation loss in modern image formats is much harder to spot

As noted, things that make lossy compression more silent make the situation worse, not better.

> As you have noticed, the latter behavior is slowly becoming a norm even for user-facing applications

Yes, and that's a problem that should be fixed. JPEG XL instead makes things even worse than they already are. Hence good riddance to bad rubbish.
That fact about Harvard sounds like multiple urban legends. For one thing Harvard began in the 1630s, yet in 1684 the King dissolved Massachusetts Bay Colony's 1628 royal charter because of their bad behavior (hanging of Friends). Anything about eminent domain would have had to be put in a 1691 new charter:

It sounds like you are dealing with a denormalised data model. Relational databases do not handle the denormalised data models well, and 50 million records is a small dataset.

Consider remodelling the data model and going up to 3NF [0], or to a higher normal form if that is more appropriate for your use case. Throwing different relational database engine types at the problem might help with bandaiding the problem for a while, but one day it will come back and bite you again. Wikipedia has a good starting point [1] for the 1NF ↝ 2NF ↝ 3NF ↝ … design steps. Depending on the nature of your data, you might have to consider the Boyce–Codd normal form (3NF++ so to speak). Maybe not.

Once you have remodelled the data model, selects and upserts will be very efficient, quick, and they won't result in the constant index update/rebuild for the entire single main table. You will have to rewrite your queries, but if the data model is normalised, joins will be straightforward, fun to write and will only update what has actually has changed in each, separate table.

If the data model normalisation is absolutely impossible (e.g. you don't own the data model but rather your customer does), consider replacing upserts with the MERGE statement.

I think with planes carrying humans we don't want that track record, especially if you calculate crashes per mile flown.

The worst stereotype of advice is "just be yourself" or some such nonsense. I'd hope these professionals are giving a bit better advice than that, unless you mean something different?
The flowers are arranged identically in the painting to the photograph. The differences between the two are trivial. The hair is certainly not "very different" and the face is similar enough to be a copying by an imprecise hand. This isn't a painting of Grand Central Station, it's a photo of the Mona Lisa.
Because a car is required to live in the US outside of a select few urban areas, and recycling essentially doesn't exist. The cognitive dissonance is real, but practical reality is a bigger factor than hypocrisy IMO. There's also the bit where much of North America stands to benefit from warming, but I doubt such long term thinking factors in much. Then we have the disproportionate impact of industry which makes individual sacrifice relatively ineffectual. The most effected by climate change are generally relatively small populations in relatively poor countries, not likely to get much sympathy from the rich west.
>"and in a physics sense (you cannot control an idea in the minds of other,"

I think we should add the caveat "yet", to your quote. I imagine it's physiological to control ideas in people's brains if you could accurately and correctly map neurons to people's thoughts.
So what? Graham isn't talking about all that other stuff! He's just talking about "things people make a part of their identity" (for whatever reason, whether that's by choice or through a failure to resist outside pressure), and what the possible negative effects can be.

I frankly don't care that Graham is rich and influential and maybe has an easier time of controlling what he thinks of himself than other people do. "Keep things out of your identity" is useful advice, even if some people will unavoidably find that harder to do because of their social/economic status.

And I disagree that it applies to very few conversations. This can easily apply to the big stuff, like what some people are talking about in other threads on this post, when it comes to dealing with issues that affect marginalized groups. I think people like that are a fine example of when it can be hard to keep things out of your identity. As much as your identity (I prefer "core self-image", which I think is clearer) is your choice, often external factors will pressure you into choosing in certain ways. But I think it does harm discussions about those topics when people have made it such a core part of themselves that they can't see what kinds of persuasion other people would respond best to. I unfortunately see that sort of thing pretty often.

Put another way: yes, Graham is probably the kind of person for whom it is not hard to set his own identity without all that much outside pressure. He's rich and influential. Other people will get put into boxes and groups by others who are more powerful than they are. And these less-powerful people will have a harder time keeping those things from seeping into their own identities. But that doesn't change the (IMO) correctness of Graham's message that it is useful to resist that pressure, even if it's harder for some people to do so.

Personally I think there is value in someone telling you to need x y an z, I'll bring in specialists and instruct them to do those things for you. If you know you need a stylist and a singing teacher and know where to get good ones, that route makes sense, but many people benefit from higher level advice.
It's not just physics either.
That's just not true.

Fancy drugs save lives. Big time. My Mom had cancer and was treated with Rituximab. She's doing just fine 10 years later. That type of cancer would have been a death sentence 30 years before. There are lots of other anti-cancer drugs like Rituximab, and they save lives every day.

Funny that the entire free software ecosystem started because RMS couldn't hack a printer back in the day. It's almost 2023, we still can't hack these things and it keeps getting worse every year.

Many others have said this elsewhere in this thread, but the cost of using all those things is not free. Every added service is an extra burden to maintain, all the way from writing code through to running and maintained in production.

Sometimes, the cost (both immediately and long term) of introducing a new component into your stack will exceed the cost of building and maintaining an inferior in-house solution, and sometimes it won't. Either way, the cost of these freely downloadable services is not just their cost to download.

Yes. The quality of "life coaches" in my circle is... Possibly negative value. I'm sure great ones exist but be aware it's not a regulated or licensed term obviously. I know folks who literally started calling themselves Life Coach one day. Good on them, but have your expectations tempered and / or do significant research :-)
I can agree with that. I personally could not find any good ones in the SF Bay Area that were willing to focus on personal image as opposed to professional image. But in the end, I feel like I achieved similar results with a bit more flexibility.

Everyone wants "politically correct" AI.

Wanna keep it from turning murderbot or paperclip maximizer? Welcome to the arena of politics of correct values. Wanna use it for longevity research? Same.

Some people also would like to make sure it isn't helping stoke antisemitism or genocide, but apparently that's controversial for some reason, so guess it's political.

(And that's before we get to the usual issue that people using "politically correct" as the drive-by aspersion that's so unfortunately common are usually more ideological than those they criticize and very much have their own political correctness they're anxious to impose by any means available to them...)
This is an amazing piece of writing.

Yep. I need an image consultant to be like - “your body for this image needs to be X. Get a personal trainer to figure that out. Your voice needs to be like this - I can refer you to a voice coach. The style that will suit you is this - I can give you some basic advice here and if you’re struggling with this then I can find a stylist for you.”

I need someone to evaluate me and then help me redefine the image. A personal trainer is great if you know the body you need. A voice coach is great if you know what kind of voice the image you’re going for is. A stylist is great if you have a perfect image for that person already and they’re already aware of all your other goals and where you are in this process.

I think an image consultant could be more helpful with the entire process - and more importantly - point out the deficiencies and what I can and cannot fix/work-on. I don’t want to keep wasting my time working on things that won’t ever give results and right now - I don’t know what is and isn’t a waste of time.
I believe the problem is fundamentally not solvable and maintaining a false dichotomy is bad for users. I can argue the same for, say, audio formats. Users have been trained to think that mp3/ogg are lossy and flac is lossless. Now flac streaming is a thing, but streaming services often give you flac files transcoded from an mp3 original, because that's all they've got. If you have spent a premium for using flac (oh, many do) you are screwed, but in reality users can't tell any difference anyway. So maybe the premium was pointless all the way and we should be less tolerant about technical lossy vs. lossless distinction. If you can here a compression artifact then it doesn't matter if it was apparently lossy or lossless.

The 140'000 image files would translate to an 80 minute runtime at 30 fps. So I assume that's all the storage they had.

It’s legal, and it already happens on sites like Parler or Truth Social.

A smarter question is how that impacts the desire of most people to be on the site. Twitter’s rules were focused on behavior which most people find offensive rather than political viewpoints, and that meant that lots of people wanted to be there. The sites which only allow certain viewpoints tend to be a lot less enjoyable, and usually end in infighting as the purists turn on each other. Unsurprisingly, it turns out to be a bad business move to limit your potential user base and exclude advertisers who aren’t exclusively targeting that same narrow demographic.
That's an amusing aphorism from a giant in the field, and it was a reasonable thing to say about the technology of that time, but it avoids, rather than answers, the much bigger question of whether machines could ever think.

I think they are absolutely useful for every body type. Good looking clothes and a tailor will help be a significant help regardless of your weight.

FWIW I didn’t actually believe this until I tried it. At one point, I regained weight, but good looking clothes + a tailor was a massive improvement and image transformation over the alternative.

I don’t understand why if common usage of such terms is fine and even desirable in daily context, the same terms should not be used in scientific communication. If people are unclear or ambiguous, then of course that’s undesirable and should be corrected, however, if certain terms are fully clear within their context then I don’t see the harm of the same term having a different meaning in the study of cognition and a different meaning when the term is used in the context of the analysis of an ML algorithm. The whole field is called machine “learning” after all.
