I don't quite understand and it's on me, trust me :)

My reading is you were worried about length of encoding one state, so you moved to encapsulating states in a dictionary with keys of hash of State and objects of State

And this led to a decrease in size of the URL?

My guess at my misunderstanding: you kept the state dictionary server-side or at least some other storage method than the URL, and just used the URL to identify which state to use from the dictionary. I e. The bit you add to the URL is just the hash of the state, or dictionary key

You don't necessarily have a reference genome to align to. For example, I've recently been working with wastewater metagenomics where (a) the sample consists of a very large number of organisms and (b) we don't have reference genomes for most of these organisms anyway.
I love that the Guardian article in that thread cites the head of NATO's statements as proof of Russian involvement. This is even lazier than Russiagate.
> "Identity Theft" is a term invented by the finance industry to victim-blame

“Identity Theft” blames to the exploiter, instead of the (possibly negligently) exploitable system; it is shifting blame, but not principally to the victim.

> We should instead talk about "Banks being defrauded by criminals due to lax procedures".

If we want to focus responsibility on the banks, we should instrad talk about “Banks failing to safeguard customer funds”, or “Banks enabling criminals to steal customer funds.”
Edward Feser published a review of Koon's book ([0], [1]). I was struck by the number of times Feser argued that a "common sense" view of QM is the one that is "basically correct." Given the documented failures of common sense in mathematics and physics (see especially Feynman's comments in the first 15 minutes of [2]), why should anyone think common sense is a reliable metric to how things are?

This reminds me a bit of a disfunctional relationship: clearly Sourcehut wants Google to stop DDoS their servers; clearly Google don’t actually want to DDoS Sourcehut, but Sourcehut also doesn’t want to ask Google to stop, and Google also want to be asked to stop. And so nothing gets done.

The question is who will swallow their pride first: Sourcehut or Google.
Thanks for ‘splaining but I know what it means and how it’s used in the US. Though here on the other side of the pond, until very recently, we didn’t use such euphemisms. We just referred to various indexes produced by the Office of National Statistics such as RPI, CPI. Our media has recently adopted the silly euphemistic term and is currently shoving it down everyone’s throats. It’s a a nice redirection from the issue of companies raising prices and capitalism to “oh well it’s just the normal state of affairs of living”

Also, you really think people have to be from the US to understand such simple concepts?
I agree with you... I didn't mean this in a way that we need to put the book down but more in a way that the book is reality today and that we need to know where we are going next. It is probably my favorite book.

Considering cryptocurrency seemed to originally be a rejection of the traditional banking system, wherein you put your savings in someone else's hands, and instead having your own secured "wallet" that is always securely in your own hands... it always confuses me a little bit at how quickly the crypto space lunged headlong into essentially recreating banks and once again having large numbers of people put their savings in someone else's hands instead of having personal control over their finance.

Are hardware wallets that difficult and/or expensive? Or am I missing something that crypto exchanges offer that I am fundamentally misunderstanding? Because it seems like this keeps happening with these exchanges and that these were the kind of things crypto was supposed to be preventing, not doing.
And factor in decays too!

Luckily, as time has passed, I think the full frame 16x9 versions are going away, and more people are accepting of the OAR and its letterboxing

I remember being over $4K in debt in my mid-20s, sleeping on the floor under a desk in my friend's office and showering every morning at a gym a couple of subway stops away. I was evicted from my tiny studio after getting laid off, and couldn't find anything during summer time, was at first recovering from a severe burnout, and also everything is super slow during those months.

My first paycheck paid off all that debt, a couple weeks later I was living in a 1-bedroom apt minutes away from work. I had about $15K in my bank and that's when my self-employed friend needed money to pay rent so he could focus on and make his company successful. I ended up Venmo-ing him more than that (more money than I ever had before in my life back then) over next couple of months, so that he didn't have to stop working on his business and lay bricks instead, or do anything else but making his business a successful company. A couple of months later he got a large order and never struggled since. He's still working on increasing his sales and getting more clients, on a verge of becoming a millionaire. I get to do work and make money creating software for his company, so it wasn't just helping a friend, but a future (now current) source of income for me as well.
I wouldn't give money if I see the person lacks good morals or is an idiot, that never pays back. But looking back and asking myself, "what did I do that year?", I always feel happy that it cost me less than $20K to help save my friend's business and make sure he doesn't ever get his time wasted by idiot bosses or managers.

If you really are a 'serious' artist, then you need to find a different style, because A) no one is going to believe you when you say it's not AI, and B) the AI can do better in seconds what might take you hours.

Using DALL-E 2[1] as the turning point, we've gone from AI art isn't a thing to "it's the way of the world" in 278 days. I'm left stunned by how quickly the artistic community has been transformed. As an active participant, I've found myself taking on projects that a year ago, I wouldn't have started, and pushing my creative limits.

But let's draw a line in the sand - willingly participating in a new artistic ecosystem is qualitatively different than being told[forced] by others to participate in a craft until this time had no concern over whether or not computers could produce art.

For some perspective: I don't have a full breakdown of the release materials on hand, but according to Wikipedia of the 45 PBq you quoted something like 20 PBq of that was Iodine-131 and 5 PBq of Cs-137. That's about 4.3 grams of I-131 and 1.6 kg of Cs-137. In radiological terms that's a LOT if they were concentrated in a small area, not so much when diluted into the entire ocean. Note that estimated releases to the atmosphere were about 10x that IIRC (but don't quote me on exact numbers).

Not to downplay the risks or consequences, people need to decide that for themselves and the dynamics of how this material ends up dispersed in the environment are complicated, but talking in terms of mass helps put things into perspective.

Keurig are...coffee machines for places that want to serve coffee without going through the trouble of making that coffee. Waiting rooms - just go and make yourself a cup. Cheapo office kitchen machine.

It does make pretty bad coffee, but hey, it's better than not having coffee an all...sometimes. Buying it for home is another story.

Aeropress is a great travel coffee maker. Still need to clean it, grind beans, but managable.

Chemex... Have to buy filters (aeropress you can buy reusable metal filter that is better than paper ones), takes a while to make. We actually had an issue with new company management because of how much time people spent making coffee with chemex (fuck em, but still)

Frenchpress are great. A bit annoying to clean, but nice coffee.

All of them require you to grind your own coffee. That means easier cheap manual grinder or somewhat expensive electronic grinder (because cheap electronic grinders are trash).

None of them work well in places that any pod-based coffee maker works well: self-serving waiting rooms.

I bricked a Nintendo ds while trying to flash a bios (? Not sure if right term) that would skip the health and safety screen on boot.

You had to open up the back and hold some aluminum foil in a hole where it would bridge a couple contacts on the main board to make the bios writable. I must have slipped at some point in the process and it got bricked.

The bios on those things was stored on a daughter board together with the wifi. Ended up having to hotswap that daughter board from a working ds to fix it.

Reference compression is interesting... technically, this type of compression should be possible without a reference. E.g. in a worst case scenario, you do a genome assembly from the reads, and then compress against that reference.

Fascinating to think that in principle, genome assembly and fastq file compression have many parallels, and are essentially the same problem. For example, once you assemble the genome, you can just track the coordinates and 'diff' for each read and the original FASTQ file can be regenerated exactly.
The whole point behind Next Generation Sequencing is to get a lot of redundant and cheap raw data, but with some errors. This way you sequence the same base of the genome say 10 times or more. If 9 of them are the same as the reference, and 1 is another base (and this base is low quality), the Variant Caller can be confident that was a sequencing error, and the position is the same base as the reference. But if you have 5 reference and 5 of other base, it's probably heterozigous for that position. If you have more of other base, is homozigous for that other base.

A good, as if the profession of teaching needed to be hollowed out even more. Now, instead of a carefully assembled and designed curriculum, students will be fed literal autogenerated nonsense.

If you do something in your area of expertise half-way with AI, someone somewhere WILL try to do it all the way and market replacing your expertise with just more black boxes for cheaper, and the people who pay you who aren't experts in your field, WILL be sold on that offer.

Nobody will listen to you when you talk about how it is problematic or wrong or error prone or anything. Think of how angrily people argue about Tesla's camera based self driving, think of all the bad takes people have about how "it's safer than a real person" despite the lopsided and bad statistics behind that claim. Now instead of arguing this with strangers on the internet about an extremely rare outcome that could theoretically kill a random person, now you are having this exact style of conversation with your boss about how the AI model he is saying will replace you has an entire class of errors that humans aren't familiar with and don't seem to notice very well and will absolutely hurt things, but only rarely, in the future.

Get ready for a future where pretty much everything inexplicably fails 1 out of 50 times and nobody will ever be able to tell you why, they won't be able to fix it, and companies prefer this anyway.

Usually fastQ filed that aren’t publicly available are retained pretty much indefinitely. The reason is, in my experience, the ability to align the sequence to new and improved genome assemblies or using/benchmarking new tools altogether. I’ve had various reasons to go back to raw sequences that had been stored for 8+ years to reanalyze them alongside newly generated data.
> So with all of that said, management is NOT "a part of career progression."

Legally, in order to be able to do certain things in a corporation you need to be a manager, director, or VP (i.e. sign contracts). A "Staff" is a made up term that is not recognized by any legal system or secretary of state, and that person will never be able fulfill vital corporate functions. Someone who is not a manager will never be privy to the full picture on people management, corporate finance, and so on due to issues with legal liability and corporate law.

I understand that there are smart people who want to "Do management without any of the responsibilities" but the real world doesn't work that way. If the ultimate rung of the career ladder is "Business Owner", management is definitely a required step on that journey.
Different to the interview I mentioned but this is a great find, since he's using the term in 1984. Thanks!

> Capabilities and permissions are the same thing.

No, that are two fundamentally different concepts.

A capability is something that needs to be hold and passed to every call. If you can't show the needed capability (because you don't own it, in the sense that you're holding a special kind of object in your hands) you can't preform an action. On the very basic level: You just can't call a function because it needs a parameter of capability type.

This is fundamental different to permissions. Permissions are checked by the called code. You don't need to "pass a permission" alongside the actual action you try to perform.

That can be a challenge, but you can also build an "artificial" reference genome. You just use it for compression, not for any real analyses. This would allow you to still use alignment-based compression.

But I agree with you: it really depends on the type of the data.

Yes. Many people, including McGee, worked on those games.

And it is totally possible that his work wasn't sufficient to remain employed. It's possible he produced too slowly or not enough or his work needed help, etc.

Are those games still "all time great games" without McGee's contributions? Very likely. Without Carmack and Romero, that's a different story. And even though Romero had no input on Quake 2, it's built off of Quake, so it carries a lot of that with it.

And the whole question is complex. These games sold well. McGee did work for these games as an employee. Does he deserve a percentage of sales? If so, how much, etc? Or is it much the case with the people who worked on Microsoft Word. It was a job and they did their part and were paid for that part. I don't see anyone trying to get the Office team a percentage of Office sales, even though that would make some people fantastically wealthy.
