Is it though? What if I were to look at your art style and replicate that style manually in my own works? I see no difference whether it's done by a machine, or done by hand. The reality is that every art is a derivative of some other art. Interestingly, the music industry has been doing this for years. Ever since samplers became a thing, musicians spliced and diced loops into their own tracks for donkeys years, and created an explosion of new genres and sound. Hip-hop, techno, dark ambient, EDM, ..., all fall into the same category. Machine learning is just another new tool to create something.
well, you are assuming these efficient matrices cannot become superhuman teachers that show us the inner workings of the universe in a more optimal way.
But...he's doing the opposite, he laid everyone off. If anything I think that should be encouraged, I remember Whatsapp had less than a hundred employees when they were bought for billions, same as Instagram. I feel like we should encourage embracing the maximum productivity per person rather than throwing more people, since as they said, it doesn't necessarily work.
I think it might be just enough to make someone consider trying therapy since it’s free, and that’s a good start.
Node itself needs to better enable some of these. Off hand, I am aware that much of Intl was still flaky in Node into much too recently despite being rock solid in browsers for a lot longer. This is an area where Deno competition seems to be helping.

Also, related to Intl replacing tons of code, Moment.js has this disclaimer up top of its README and npmjs.org listing today:

> Moment.js is a legacy project, now in maintenance mode.

But this is not big or bold enough and it is amazing how many projects still rely on a legacy package like this, which is huge because it bundles its own Intl replacement because it predates Intl. (Please use Luxon or date-fns or Intl.DateTimeFormat directly in 2022 rather Moment.js.)
No part of this happened. Also, experts are actually experts, so let's lose the quotation marks.

That's fine. Mastodon's goal isn't to replace Twitter, but the way Twitter is heading I wouldn't blame people who use it as a replacement.

Mastodon's real problem is that it doesn't have sex appeal. It's not a Game of Thrones celebrity throwdown like Twitter, and it lacks the marketing of successful viral platforms like TikTok or Instagram. It was a conscious decision too - calling posts toots and designing the entire network to be distributed - making it less social was part of making it more healthy. Even now, Mastodon maintainers waffle at the idea of making the platform more Twitter-like because it dilutes the balance the platform has cultivated over the past few years.

It's like saying that Discord doesn't face any threat from IRC. You might be right from a financial perspective, but the communities around them are completely different things. It's an apples-to-oranges comparison.

Ownership is important to be explicit about, less as a means of assigning blame, but more as a means of coordination and resource allocation.

The author is using ownership as a tool to avoid responsibility, and is thus creating an `us vs them` mindset rather than an `us vs the problem` mindset.

Having a strong definition of ownership (like committing your organizational structure to your monorepo as config file) is invaluable for building tooling.

If you have a strong definition of code ownership it allows for things like people less familiar with a particular piece of code being able to make changes with the approval of the owners, while simultaneously notifying them of the change.

Likewise, if you are working on a platform that multiple teams use, you can write tooling that automatically assigns bugs or tickets.

Ownership problems and "us vs them" is a clear sign of poor leadership. Most devs that experience it become cyncial or hostile without being able to understand that it is leadership that failed them.
Good on them. GitHub secrets cause a lot of problems. They will always create a better idiot but this idiot trap is long past due.

I also can’t wait until people base64 their creds to get past this. Explaining to some that base64 isn’t encryption tends to be hard so I imagine people will feel safe just base64 and checking it in.

> This relatively recent idea that someone can become more female or more male through drugs and surgery

The Hijra community (Indian trans/non-binary) has been around for thousands of years, and surgical castration has been one traditional way for them to achieve their identity during that period. It's not relatively recent.

In any event, I think in a free society we must start with the premise that all things are permitted and only with valid reason restrict that freedom. There are many valid reasons, but merely being critical of someone else's means of existence is not what I would regard as sufficient reason to restrict their personal freedom. At a minimum, potentially cognizable harm should be shown. And to be clear, I don't think there's any potentially cognizable harm to be found in someone conforming to their own gender identity.
Thank you for making this tool!

I'm interested in avoiding lock-in, and would love to be able to export every note as an individual markdown file ("export all your highlights to a single CSV file" is clunky, and unusable for me).

It looks like:

* I have to export every item individually, manually ("export highlights on a document-by-document basis to Markdown by going to your Library and clicking the down arrow as shown below")

* I have to do this every time I edit an item inside Reader.

Have you considered building a "folder sync" plugin that exports each item/note as a separate .md file, and keeps it sync'ed? Even a one-way sync would be better than the manual flow you currently have.

Thanks for sharing the post and for taking questions here!
> Working as a necessity to provide for oneself and family is a key component of good mental health

Based on what science? Grinding at an office 9-5, 5 days a week, 50 weeks a year over meaningless pursuits is in fact what is causing mental health problems in the world today. Give people a social safety net, more time to pursue their hobbies, spend time with their families, connect with their communities, and I can assure you we will all be better off.

Exactly. In fact almost everything in the article is icing on-top. The entire experience of the McMaster Carr website is the taxonomy and the fact that the search and navigation _within that taxonomy_ are all built to work seamlessly and get you to exactly what you are looking for.

Search for "bolt" - you won't get 10,000 different bolts with a pretty little filter to whittle down, you'll end up on a page with broader categories of things that may or may not have "bolt" in the name, but are all things that are in some form bolts. From there you keep drilling down, selecting different attributes until you get to an individual product (or a grid of variations, like different lengths).

Honestly, it feels like the original authors have never actually used the site, they just browsed around, thought it was laid out nicely, etc

David A. Wheeler on supply chain security
The system is a general purpose data management system. It was originally designed as a file system replacement where you could store a few hundred million files in a single container; put meta-data tags on each of them; and then be able to find subsets of them (e.g. all photos with more than 10MB of data and with tag .person.FirstName = Robert) in just a second or two (even if the query produced a few million results).

The objects I invented to store the meta-data tags turned out to be very performant Key-Value stores that could also be used for other purposes. It turns out they could also be used as columns in a relational database table. I think I was surprised as anyone when queries against my tables that use them turned out to be substantially faster than for other databases with highly indexed tables.

I am sorry if the term 'prove me wrong' came across in a bad way. I guess I just got tired of people telling me my system couldn't possibly work and refuse to put forth any effort to try it out. In some ways I feel like a Tesla salesman surrounded by people who are sure it couldn't possible be better (or even different) than a regular car, but won't get in and take it for a spin around the block.
In practice we don't see situations arising where Yahoo users can't send email to Gmail users because the boss of Gmail doesn't like that that the boss of Yahoo allows Fastmail users to send email to Yahoo users
The problem with that line of thinking, to me, is we have state apparatuses fully and ever-increasingly capable of manufacturing crises to compel individuals in ways that would otherwise not be acceptable. On top of that, I see a qualitative difference between a compulsion of labor or rations impeding bodily autonomy in a superficial sense, and the compulsion of injections (or lobotomies, or sterilization) which seems to strike a deeper and more serious infringement on bodily integrity. Given those factors, I think it's very crucial that societal decisionmakers err towards preserving individual independence and are not misleadingly guided towards other ends.
>Searching for "compatible" extensions yields only 15 results.

That's the complete list, yeah. It's utterly ridiculous and insulting.

You can get around it by making an online collection of extensions with a Mozilla/whatever account, but you can't install from files.

I largely agree, it doesn't meet my bar for "supports extensions" :/ hence at the very least "significant step down" - that much is at least not contentious.
> IvorySQL has imported and enhanced the Orafce extension to add support for numerous Oracle compatibility features including built-in PACKAGES, data types, and conversion functions

Sounds and looks like a fork to me.

EnterpriseDB used to offer some Oracle compatibility built on Pg, as a fork IIRC. Don't see it on their site any more though.

EDIT: Much thanks to replies with links to EDB.
>Something that baffles me is how hard it's become to replace the battery.

Why is this baffling? It makes perfect sense for batteries to be non-replaceable: you can make the phone slightly thinner, and you can charge owners a small fortune to replace them, which will usually result in them simply throwing the device away after a while and buying a new one. Just look at Apple: they pushed non-replaceable batteries (and also removed headphone jacks in favor of expensive airPods), and people love iPhones and can't wait to get the next version, even if it costs $1399 and they have to sell their kidney to buy it.
I moved from full stack eng to SRE/DevOps a couple of years ago but have the least enjoyable role of straddling the two. And while I think this post surfaces some good points I can tell you that deep in the heart of every SRE/DevOps engineer that didn't come from a software dev background -- all they truly want is to get paid 250K a year to administer a system that literally does nothing and thus never breaks and this desire is the subtext to and informs every interaction they have with the engineering team.

ML isn't the same thing as human students, it's just computational statistics with some impressive results.

Most people. I haven't been part of that group, for like, ever maybe?

If we're a group of devs with a not insignificant percentage of those devs being frontend/UI/UX types, then having the same image in multiple sizes, formats, etc is going to be pretty common. Looking for multiples of the exact file is only going to reduce so much. Knowing you have a library of images with a source and then all of the derivatives is going to get you a lot less files as long as you know you have the source, then running image based sameness is much more beneficial. Sure, this is niche territory, but yeah, and, so?

Maybe there's someone new(-ish) that hasn't really had to deal with cleaning up thousands of images to this extent. One would hope the same image in its various forms within a dev's env would be similarly named, but that's not guaranteed. If we could depend on filenames, we wouldn't need hashing, right?

A good rule of thumb is if the derivative work is drawing sales away from the original work. Nobody is buying Captain America - The Winter Soldier to calculate the SHA256 so the movie studio sustains no losses from it being shared, so it shouldn’t count as copyright infringement.
I'm curious, have you considered using PyTorch or JAX for tensor processing? ML libraries seem to be much further along when it comes to performing compute-intensive, hardware-accelerated operations on Tensor's. And you get gradients basically for free (in terms of developer time). Also, the kernel compiler being added PyTorch 2 looks very promising.

In my experience outside of enterprise oracle type places it's just a label. You still work on service level code, you also work on architecture, you also do infrastructure and monitoring and really all the stuff. From the places I've worked that aren't red tape bound the title really just means "we need someone who we can give a business problem to and they will solve it in an efficient way without needing a full team or re inventing wheels, and we need to be sure it's going to keep making money for us with stability". All the other rigor is just job description fluff to attract talent.
I don’t follow your critique for #2. SVMs, Random forests, etc., aren’t the counterexample to Rich’s post (for anyone who knows him, Rich doesn’t even particularly _like_ neural networks). The counterexample is hand crafted features.

A counter example would be showing a number of successful examples in, say, computer vision, where handcrafted features do better than learned features. This is largely not the case. In, say, both NLP and Computer Vision, learned features dominate, even at companies with less compute (they use pretrained models).

(Disclaimer: I work with Rich.)
This sounds like the scene in The Office where Michael Scott says "I Declare Bankruptcy".

Just because you declare it, doesn't make it so.

In general, in LLCs, there are rules around amendments to the operating agreements for the company. It is likely very cut and dry as to whether passing the amendment is allowed under the operating agreement. Courts generally frown upon amendments that are specifically passed to disenfranchise other investors.

The question is - is it worth it to you to go after them, in court or via counsel, to reverse the amendment and manage the business? If not, it may be better to work through a buyout and call it a day. They be more receptive to this than having you sue them and end up losing.

(EX - Forget the amendment, bad actor pays you each $100k for your shares and you are out.)

Looks neat. Could you add support for storing books in a storage system I control?

I'd like to upload my books to somewhere that is under my control (google drive, dropbox, etc...). I've had bad experiences with services basically locking my library to them and making it nearly impossible to export/move them elsewhere.

It's a nice plus for you, since you don't need to pay the storage costs yourself.

> This exact comment could be made by a jazz soloist with a few words changed and be just as valid.

It's not that uncommon for professional programmers to be pro-level musical soloists on the side, or for retired programmers to play top-level music. The reverse is far less common. I do think that says something.

> Anything as competitive as an artistic field will always result in amounts of mastery needed at the top level that are barely noticeable to outside observers.

Sure. Top-level artistic fields are well into the diminishing returns level, whereas programming is still at the level where even a lot of professional programmers are not just bad, but obviously bad in a way that even non-programmers can understand.

Even in the easiest fields, you can always find something to compete on (e.g. the existence of serious competitive rubik's cube doesn't mean solving a rubik's cube is hard). A difficult field is one where the difference between the top and the middle is obvious to an outsider.

> Trust whomever you want, on whatever basis you want, but that's fundamentally not reason or rationality, it's just an argument from authority [1]. No statement becomes more true just because someone said it, regardless of who they are.

A statement can become more likely to be true just because someone said it, depending on the nature of the statement and the person making it. For example, my brother is an oncologist. If I had some health concern about cancer, I would certainly be asking for his opinion. His opinions on that topic are not guaranteed to be correct, but as an oncologist, they are significantly more likely to be correct than that of the average person.

One problem with the frequent popular invocation of claimed "fallacies", such as "argument from authority", is many of them are only strictly speaking fallacious when used as purely deductive arguments, but real world human reasoning isn't purely deductive, it involves a great deal of induction and abduction as well. There is nothing inherently wrong with an "argument from authority" as an inductive or abductive argument.

> Knowledge is a true and justified belief. But trust is not a justification - quite the opposite. If you had a justification, you wouldn't need trust.

One can estimate the conditional probability P(proposition X is true|agent A says that X is true) based on observations of what kinds of things agent A (or other significantly similar agents) has said in the past, and how many of them turned out to be true or false. You can then use that conditional probability estimate to inform your own decision as to how much credence to give to proposition X. That is both trust and justification.
