I see, that makes sense to me.

Interesting problem. Seems like there are lots of better ways to handle it that could be implemented by a different middle man. For example, the middle man could have a que of subs and allocate the gigs by position in the cue. Tons of sorting algorithms available.

The interesting part is that this all benefits the substitutes, not the school, so why would the school pick the more humane competitor.
AI companies will have to soft through their data sets to find copyright free or CC0 or public domain images to train their algorithms on, or buy the necessary rights for commercially produced works.

If the neural network tech itself is good enough, this shouldn't be too much of a problem. Finding these images and verifying their copyright status is going to take more work.

Most likely, AI giants will buy digital art websites like DeviantArt or Flickr and use the images already collected after changing around the terms a bunch of times.

I'm a software engineer with a passion for solving problems, learning new things, and making the world a better place. Recently I worked on an open-source project called Firefly, an observability framework for serverless functions (https://try-firefly.github.io/).

I’m looking for my next opportunity.
That's what sites like allrecipes.com have been doing for years and years.

> Public policy was mostly a disaster and thank god for all the taxpayers who poured R&D funds into “big pharma”.

FTFY.

You mean the estimated USD 39.5bi taxpayer dollars that went into big pharma R&D just in the US?

Or the US 3.6Bi, Europe 1.9Bi of taxpayer money invested in the first 2 years in big pharma?

Big pharma doesn't exist in a vacuum. Someone needs to be interested in large scale research, purchasing and applying all those vaccines, or their effectiveness is hampered.
> The status quo of having traffic laws be mostly unenforced except in the case of egregious violations and with occasional spot enforcement is closer to optimal than the jackboot fantasy.

This allows for oppression via selective enforcement and is absolutely a jackboot fantasy.
Electrical stimulation can boost brain's willingness to engage in mental effort
My suspicions that some Windows app or another is using Electron under the hood are usually confirmed when I eventually click the app launcher icon and no window appears and I look in the task manager and see like 20 processes of that app running in the background but something is blocking new UI instances from displaying any UI until I go and kill all the headless zombie instances of the app running in the background with no UI attached.

You would think with all the apps that use Electron this is something that would be fixed (I don't know if the root cause is Electron itself or some bad practice that people who use it do often enough that I've mentally associated it with the framework) but I've seen this issue with every Electron app I've used for any period of time (except VSCode) for years.

My data, on an app with 100k MAU, iOS makes 3x on subscriptions AND ads, despite Android having 3x the userbase.
You say you are using dbt, so doesnt "dbt test" provide you with the functionality to test? I assume by testing sql pipelines, you want to test if the data written to intermediate stores conform to what you expect. You should be able to do that with dbt test. If you are using an analytical database like Snowflake you could direct the results of the dbt run and dbt test to a test database and do your testing there.

"like employees vs their own company"

For most employees their company is not their own. They don't own any of it. Employees, in my opinion, have no other obligation to their employers beyond what is outlined in their contract and any employee who thinks otherwise has been bamboozled. Never settle for a "sense of ownership." If a company wants me to have a "sense of ownership" they should let me actually own part of the company.
"Prior knowledge" is a strange way to write IQ.
I agree.

But you need to find a good one. They do exist -- but they're not likely to be cold-calling you.

I know of a lot of companies who simply don't do direct hiring at all -- they do everything through agencies, on a contract-to-hire basis. That way, they don't have to put as much time and effort into finding and screening applicants, and they can "try before they buy" -- if the person doesn't work out during the contract period, it's less investment lost by the company. If they do, then the company hires them directly after the contract ends.

Why not? Many meme variants end up in the same bucket, all colliding. They are as duplicates as random rare images.

A large bucket can also be inspected by humans or cut up by applying more perceptual hash function and decreasing tolerance, but it would be counterproductive cheating in this case.

Perhaps, but couldn't be less comparable from the perspective of higher ed:

1. The budgetary context in that case was the end of total warfare. Debt was high, yes, but a TON of the war expenditures from the last half decade were being unwound. So the place that the cuts would come from was very obvious and directly related to the reason for the high expenditures in the first place. You could unwind deficits while simultaneously increasing spending on everything except total warfare. Cf now: the US isn't going to cut SS or Medicare, and cuts to Defense would hit university funding streams hard.

2. The political environment is radically different. The success of the Manhattan Project, RADAR, etc. created a political environment that was amenable to shifting spending from wartime manufacturing to peacetime R&D. Cf now: there is an enormous amount of political animosity toward the academy coming from the political coalition holding most of the structural advantages. Even through the Bush presidency, Science funding was largely bipartisan. That isn't true now. At all. I think many academics under-appreciate just how toxic NSF/NIH/etc have become to roughly half of this country.

3. The GI bill infused tons of demand (and money) into the academic system, and was followed by the Baby Boom. Cf now: there's a massive demographic collapse on the horizon and people are seeking out alternatives to university education due to the cost.
Not necessarily. One of the theories I read had it that practice was the single most important factor for mastery; and that the apparent difference in aptitude between people was actually a difference in interest: If you enjoy something, you're much more likely to drive yourself to practice more, and thus achieve a higher mastery; whereas if you actively dislike something, you're more likely to do the minimum amount you can get away with.

So it certainly may be the case that if someone says they dislike math, that they simply haven't been exposed to the right kinds of math, or the right kinds of problems; and that trying different kinds of presentations will allow them to overcome a dislike of it, and practice more than they were. But maybe there are people who will dislike math no matter what form it takes; for those people, doing math will always be a motivational struggle. And in any case, even if you can move someone from "I hate math" to "math can be cool", will that person ever have the drive, the thirst for math which would be required to be a top performer? Seems very unlikely.

IOW, even if in theory everyone could reach the same level of expertise by practicing the same amount, it's still not possible in practice for everyone to practice the same amount.

(Just as, in theory, everyone can lose weight by simple diet and exercise; but in practice, actually maintaining the "simple diet and exercise" routine to lose weight and keep it off isn't something most people have shown themselves capable of.)
Another hard agree. I always get a good laugh when people in queer culture claim to be living a counter culture lifestyle. Meanwhile the US state department is flying the queer flag at its embassies around the world and using it to agitate foreign conservative cultures.

I nominate being an unapologetic white male as the counter culture of our current time. Just watch how many downvotes you'll get on any social media platform for having this position.
> Yup I've done the AWS Step Functions thing in the past, and it usually was about 90% wrangling with AWS and 10% writing code... we wanted to flip that ratio around (that's the goal at least!)

That was the final straw what led a friend and me to try to do what you’ve done.

We had started off using Zapier, and it’s horrendous objects & arrays handling, then moved on to Step Functions, then gave up on what we were initially doing to try and build a workable alternative.

With a cumulated grand total of 6 months of experience, we had no idea what we were getting into.

Anyway, the point is: thanks for making this.
What was the scale of academic research post WW 2 compared to now? I’d imagine our research budgets are a significantly higher fraction of GDP now.
I won't pretend utilitarianism is perfect, but I don't think we have much option. If we take the "no new problems" extreme alternative then you get worse and stranger results: Seatbelts would never have been legal since while they save 1000s of lives a day, they also occasionally kill people who would otherwise survive...
You can solve almost all of those problems more easily by improving road design with knowledge we already have. In relative terms cars are actually amazingly safe given that we drive them trillions of miles a year.

> They're all things that trains and subways provide that cars do not.

Figure out how to get trains to operate everywhere instead of only on fixed routes, and then this comparison will be valid. Until then you're talking about two (more, really) different use cases with a minimal amount of overlap.

So at the very least we will need buses, and a lot of them, to feed the areas where it't uneconomical or otherwise unfeasible to run rails. Do the environmental math on that -- how full does a bus need to be before the pollution per passenger is better than a compact car with one passenger? How about a compact car with four passengers? Public transit would need a fundamental change in approach.

And of course this is only talking about people. Always lost in this conversation is that moving humans from place to place is just one use case.

Europeans often keep shit in their toilets for two reasons: Living in a multistory building and not annoying the neighbors downstairs during the night; and saving water. It’s absolutely disgusting, but such people also don’t usually wash their hair (and I mean, engineer-type people, not necessarily unemployed kind).
Yeah I think it might be a system wide config issue causing Chrome to use the wrong picker.

This is why I don’t take anyone who says “you can’t talk about X anymore” seriously.
Not necessarily the true passion for the particular subject, as much as being highly motivated to pass it. I know some folks who were absolutely average IQ and not truly passionate about anything Uni related (except the idea of finishing it), but simply had firm self-discipline and work-habits instilled into them by parents, as well as this crazy level of competitiveness and ambition that they have to be the best in everything... and frankly they were killing it in all subjects.
You are right about the dangers of Tik-Tok but it would not be so dangerous if we had a healthy market here that could keep up with it. It is like the way a fungal infection can be dangerous for an organism that is already badly run down.

In the case of games, Genshin Impact for all of it's flaws is a new franchise that is winning players. The other day I was looking at a "top 25 games" list for the XBOX ONE and was kinda shocked that I didn't see any games that I didn't know already (the top 25 list for a Nintendo platform would have some games that would be new to me and get me excited about games) One of the top games was Skyrim which is a good game but was a bargain bin game for the Xbox 360. The rest are all forgettable (in my mind) entries in series like Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, Madden NFL, etc.

From the outside the western video game industry seems to be putting up healthy revenue numbers but I think it is senescent and has been rotting for some time. A situation like that is very dangerous for our markets being taken over by actually competitive competitors controlled by the CCP.

You are mixing up advertising slogans and beliefs, and it's why "save the earth" has largely been abandoned as a slogan in favor of "the earth is fine -- it's humans that are in danger."

Even that is a bit difficult. We're really talking about reducing the carrying capacity of the earth in most scenarios for both humans and other animals. Environmentalism is saying that many humans will die on the default path, and this is a path that can be diverted with sufficient action. The longer we wait, the worse the action is going to need to be and the more people that may die.

But nuances are difficult to communicate when the other side is working in wholesale disinformation.

For $2.50 you can get 1 vCPU, 512MB RAM, 500GB bandwidth, and 10GB storage from Vultr[1]. The only catch is it's IPv6 only, you have to add an extra dollar monthly to get an IPv4 address ($3.50).

For $5.00, you get 1GB of RAM, 1TB of bandwidth, 25GB of storage, and an IPv4 address. Not bad...
