Let's have some fun. Here's a basic special relativity problem from John R. Taylor's Classical Mechanics.

A space explorer A sets off at a steady 0.95c to a distant star. After exploring the star for a short time, he returns at the same speed and gets home after a total absence of 80 years (as measured by earth-bound observers.) How long do A's clocks say that he was gone, and by how much has he aged as compared to his twin B who stayed behind on earth? [Note: This is the famous "twin paradox." It is fairly easy to get the right answer by judicious insertion of a factor of γ in the right place, but to understand it, you need to recognize that it involves three inertial frames: the earth-bound frame S, the frame S' of the outbound rocket, and the frame S'' of the returning rocket. Write down the time dilation formula for the two halves of the journey and then add. Notice that the experiment is not symmetrical between the two twins: B stays at rest in the single inertial frame S, but A occupies at least two different frames. This is what allows the result to be unsymmetrical.]

Agreed. I think SBF's current treatment proves nothing about corruption. For two main reasons.

One is that there's no great reason for the prosecutors to rush, and plenty of reason for them to wait until the picture is clearer. The person now in charge of FTX oversaw Enron's liquidation. He will be getting to the bottom of what happened and producing a report. Plenty of other investigation is underway. And SBF is ignoring advice of counsel (plus that of basically any lawyer with a pulse) and giving extended interviews. They can charge him any time they want, and for now waiting only improves their position.

The other is that even if we assume our politicians are nakedly corrupt and that exonerations are for sale, there's no reason to think that past money would influence that. SBF is broke. They already have his money. So even if they are entirely without honor, the best thing they can do for themselves is throw SBF under the bus. They get exactly the same amount of money, plus the political capital from appearing honest.

How do you take a photo on android to only store it locally?

The whole photos experience on Android has been simplified to break that distinction and there is no way to even really know or realize what is happening - BY DESIGN.

The real answer here is, again, Android is not privacy first by default.

IMO, this only creates a feedback loop where you eventually will support contradictory and completely unrelated positions.

I totally get the idea of delegating away thinking about specific, maybe esoteric issues... but we're at a point where one party could say "the sky is green" and people will agree with that, even if they know (or once knew) that to not be the case, simply to be in defiance of the "others." (or the "own the libs" as you say)

Layer 3 exists as a layer of routing and aggregation on top of layer 2. Aggregation necessarily consumes address space, so L3 needs to be bigger than L2 to accommodate the full L2 address space. The L2 address space is 64 bits and the next power of 2 up from 64 is 128, so here we are.

96 bits would probably be enough too, but having large subnets has a few benefits -- it allows for securing NDP by using the extra space for a cryptographic key, and also it makes it much, much harder to scan for active hosts from outside the network.

Plus, can you imaging the wailing and teeth gnashing we'd be getting if v6 wasn't a power of 2 bits long?

If it helps, Laravel feels like the Rails of the PHP community.

I've used it to build ~5 websites and it's been very solid. The docs are pretty good and it does most of what you need out of the box. Especially the 8+ versions of Laravel. If there's something you need that's not included in the framework itself, it's likely there's a well-maintained community package.

More like, the people, and not some hypothetical government abuse conspiracy.

In more detail,

It's more complicated because "companies" themselves are concepts which the government is obliged to oversee, to a degree.

And companies need regulation because they are intrinsically powerful collections of money and influence, physical and otherwise.

So if you want to like get big picture about it and talk about government oversight and abuse, really it's The People choosing to put into place a cascade of systems of management to mitigate risk and provide the citizenry, convenience and safety.

It's us who are wanting to make sure that when we are suspicious of the behavior of some entity, who happens to be using double secret communication, that we by our government and our companies, can have some power to reduce the magnifying impact of that entity utilizing the massive amplification powers of a company, still.

An option if you don't wanna write the main document as a pyramid is to write a brief version as an email/DM/What have you but include a link saying for anyone who wants the in depth version it is available for you to read. That way you can structure the document in the way people who expressly want it will find it useful (which might still be pyramid but you aren't constrained to it) while giving the original person what they might need in the shorter form.
> SBF has few friends

SBF was the second-biggest donor to the Dems in the 2022 midterm elections. Not only does he have friends, he also has a cadre of politicians who will look terrible in the case that their major supporter ends up rotting in prison. It is unsurprising that some people believe he could walk.
Technically, updating priors wouldn't necessarily be warranted. Consider a statement X implies Y, e.g. The government is corrupt, which implies SBF won't go to jail. Just because X implies Y does not mean ~Y implies ~X. E.g. SBF going to jail does not imply the government is not corrupt.

> because it implies anything you used but didn’t buy can and should betray you, and it’s your own fault

The contrapositive isn't automatically true. You can be upset when a cloud host or ISP violates your expectations, even though you don't own them. You can expect Apple to basically work in your interests even on their own servers, since you're paying them.

The ownership thing is more about the structure of society. If computing and communications technology is going to move us forward as a distributed democratic society, then those capabilities must remain distributed throughout the population rather than being controlled by a handful of centralized gatekeepers.

And yes, we've strayed quite far from this ideal. Most people have little control over what their mobile phone does. Still, there is a distinction between a device not having your desired functionality because the manufacturer didn't create it (or even disallowed others from creating it), and the manufacturer deliberately creating functionality that harms users.

Aren't like 4/5 of china's famines in the modern era? They certainly happened before but became much more prevalent after it was connected to the emerging global market system. A trend repeated in many other places.

Food output decreases for many reasons, but famine is a political problem. During most of the worst famines in china, as elsewhere, starving regions were still exporting grain.

SBF, the name of the visible head, is as good a collective label for the network of individual criminals and the many dozens of companies they used in their crimes as FTX, just one of the companies, is.
ELT Schedules Can Improve Root Cause Analysis for Data Engineers
At Monte Carlo, we did some work on root cause analysis for data failures, like ETL job failures, timeouts, data delays, etc. I think there's a lot that can be done from a data science perspective to automate RCA, or provide better insights into data pipeline problems.

We put together this blog post, showing how an orchestration DAG (like a dbt schedule DAG) can be converted into a Bayesian network. You can then ask causal attribution questions in the form of conditional probability queries against the BN.
The idea is still pretty basic / preliminary, but I think it could be extended in all sorts of interesting ways e.g. attributing bad row-level data to upstream transformations, etc.

So you're stating that some people are orders of magnitude smarter than the average; but you've adduced no evidence. I don't agree; you're making the claim, so the burden is on you.

> IQ is the rough measure of the raw processing power of a human brain.

That's a very specific claim. I know what "raw processing power" means in the context of a CPU, and I know of various ways of measuring it. But a brain is not a CPU. It's not a processor; arguably what it does is not similar to information processing.
> Profit is not market share.

No, it's even better.

If a company could have 1 single user and that user could pay them $500bn in perpetuity for a product costing $1, they'd only want that customer.

They want more customers because they can't have that ideal case. First of all nobody would pay that much for such a cheap thing, secondly, nobody lives for ever. So companies expand to make more money (= profit) and to future proof themselves.

Again, as I said, very sneaky from Apple, and I'm arguing it's breaking down existing economic models.

It's basically another run-around at "winning capitalism". Monopolies were one way. This is another one.

I felt like I was in my own prison, made even worse by moving to a suburb where the nearest non-chain coffee shop is over two hours by foot. It drove me nuts.

What I did that seems to be working really well is this:

- Drive to a gym that's about 30 minutes away from a coffee shop, walking distance

- Work out

- Walk to coffee shop

- Work for a few hours

- Walk back to my car

- Drive back home, or (likely) to some other place

- Close my work day.

However, I'd prefer to commute to an office, work in the office, walk somewhere interesting during lunch break, walk back, gym, then home.
Also Elizabeth Holmes and Sonny Balwani, who were just convicted in the last year. And Martin Shkreli and any number of other high-profile white-collar criminals in the last decade. The system is deeply flawed, but there is a threshold above which highly public, blatantly obvious crimes do get prosecuted (provided you’re not the President, anyways).
Friends? Or fair weather friends?
Yea?

Either commit and say “scanning for CSAM is the top priority” and scan on device or say “privacy is the top priority” and don’t scan at all.

I’m literally saying this halfway path is the worst of both worlds, since people still lose privacy, but very little meaningful progress against csam will be made.
I feel that faith really is a component of things getting better in society. No matter how bad things are, we collectively have to believe and expect them to get better, in order for us to figure a way out of bad situations and in order to hold leaders accountable in the long term.

It grates on me like no other when people not only make observations, but give off nihilistic hopelessness of anything ever possibly having an alternate outcome.

To view corruption or inequality as "just the way things are" is to permit it and tacitly support it.

Addressing a counterargument in your writing is also extremely useful, and often the hallmark of very convincing writing. You don't need to address every counterargument, but addressing the strongest counterargument to whatever you are proposing or saying is a very powerful rhetorical move that communicates "mastery" of the subject matter, as well as introduces a dash of humility and shelters the writing from the accusation of pure opinion.

I don't think Hoare said that null was his mistake. I believe he said that the null reference was his mistake. In other words, null is not a reference, and treating null as a reference in all contexts conflates optionality and referentiality. The problem is that referentiality and optionality should be orthogonal concepts in type systems.

Nullability/optionality is clearly useful. References/pointers are clearly useful. The problem is making them a single concept in a type system, thus requiring all references/pointers to be nullable and making it very awkward (such as forcing the user to manually declare a wrapper type holding a boolean and the wrapped value) to have optional values without making them references.

The conflation of referentiality and optionality in the most popular static type systems also bleeds over into mental shortcuts used by many programmers in dynamically typed languages when thinking about the types of parameters expected by functions/methods. Had Algol W, C, etc. kept optionality and referentiality separate in their type systems, I think Python/Ruby/Lisp etc. programmers would likely think more carefully when passing None into fuctions/methods.
I agree a wall of text will often not be read. But I think often the problem is with the author for having written it in the first place, rather than the reader for not being bothered. It's like that famous Pascal quote, "if I had more time, this letter would be shorter".

One part of that is about redundancy and verbosity: with some effort it's usually possible to say the same thing with a lot less text.

The other part, as you say, is about knowing your audience: an executive didn't read your massive email because they genuinely don't need to. If you can pick out the few bits of information that they actually need to know then that's better for everyone.
