Disclaimer: I am friends with the founder of log-store.

I have been beta testing it for a while for small scale (~50 million non-nested json objects) log aggregation it's working beautifully for this case.

It's a no nonsense solution that is seemless to integrate and operate. On the ops side, it's painless to setup, maintain, and push logs to. On the user side, its extremely fast and straight forward. End users are not fumbling their way through a monster UI like Kibana, access to information they need is straight forward and uncluttered.

I can't speak to it's suitability in a 1TB logs/day situation, but for a small scale straight forward log agg. tool I can't recommend it enough.
So something to keep in mind when looking at biological systems, and especially when looking at genomics - evolution doesn't actually have a master plan or agency, it's just drift and reproduction. There's a lot of reuse and a lot of parsimony that can look elegant, but there's no 'design' process of evolution - it's a pile of things that looked enough like other stuff that over time with some tweaks they could take on dual roles. There's also no separation of concerns - DNA is a molecule, and it's acted upon by other molecules following the same rules of chemical and quantum interactions that affect everything else. Certain RNA sequences aren't transcoded but rather fold into functional molecules and enzymes, and protein folding and subsequent structure and function is affected by how fast the RNA is transcribed, which is affected by the population of available tRNA molecules. Genomics only looks like information - it's still chemistry.

Not necessarily; the reports really could be unrelated to the train accident, or the EPA was simply unable to detect the cause.

All the article proposes are warnings on labels like they exist for tobacco. No telling you what to do at all.
Covering a mortgage payment each month is much more feasible than purchasing a house for most. The real issue is saving for the down payment and having good enough credit to get approved for a loan.

There's a considerable difference between the loan payment with a big down payment and good credit versus bad credit and a low down payment. That difference can essentially turn an unaffordable home purchase into an "affordable" monthly rent.
Well, I did complain about how these things are worded - I thinking the framing is misleading.
There are so many better ways to do layoffs, you have to assume they pick the cruel ways on purpose. It's not like these companies are inventing layoffs and figuring out on their own how to do it.

>Are you saying that the gender dysphoria self-diagnosis was the only factor in the suicide, and without it the mental health problems and difficulties of being neurodivergent in society wouldn't have been an issue?

No, not at all.

I think the real reason that so may Autistic people end up depressed, anxious and suicidal is a mix of social difficulties (leading to isolation), coupled with an inability to recognise our own emotional states (making self-care a lot more difficult).

The real problem in misdiagosis of gender dysphoria amongst Autistics isn't so much the additional stress caused by transitioning (not just medical issues, but things like the discrimination that non-passing trans people experience too) but the fact that it provides a false solution to the problem of our depression/anxiety.

So many young Autistics really, genuinely, believe that the solution to their problem isn't learning the hard way how to achieve a certain level of social success, or ceding some of their independence to people they trust to help manage their physical and emotional needs, but instead hormones and surgery.

And once someone's gone down that path, that's it. No coming back.
Not the same at all, I don't know what you're getting at.
It's worth mentioning the backdrop of this is the current drive toward PSR (precision scheduled railroading), which has meant overworking train engineers with improved "efficiencies" through extremely long trains, and overworked employees. This has greatly increased the value of the train companies on the stock market, but at the expense of the workers (this came to a head a few months ago with pending labor strikes on the railroads). Insiders have warned about its potential risks, and I'm not an expert so I can't speak to overall accident trends, but the increased number of cars on a given engine greatly increases risk of derailment. This clearly seems like a major environmental disaster and will hopefully bring greater scrutiny toward how the rail companies operate.
You can still have thread safety issues with the GIL in place, because globals and other data is shared between threads.

For example, you can put a dictionary at the module level, thread A can set a key in that dictionary like “name”, thread B can overwrite it, and then thread A comes back, does dct[“name”] and gets an unexpected answer.

This is a relatively easy mistake to make, a lot of python code has module level variables.
It’s like people are living through "White Noise" by Don DeLillo. Thanks ChatGPT for helping me remember the book based on the general scenario:

"White Noise" is a darkly comic novel that explores themes of death, consumerism, and technology. The story takes place in a small Midwestern town where a poisonous cloud, known as "The Nanny," is hanging over the area and threatening the lives of its residents. The protagonist, Jack Gladney, is a professor of Hitler Studies who becomes obsessed with the cloud and its effects on the people around him. "White Noise" is widely regarded as one of DeLillo's best works and is considered a seminal work of postmodern fiction.”
"Buying apartments" is not something that happens for most places in the United States, so no. Condos and townhomes exist, but are not what I call the norm compared to houses and apartments for rent.

I know people can rent single-family homes, but I am also against institutional home-ownership. My point is that living-quarters ownership should be more universal.

>Nobody's trying to "take away homeownership"

When houses come down and apartments go up, they are. When companies holding hundreds of millions of dollars of capital buy houses during a recession and say "millennials don't want to own homes anyway, we're doing them a favor", yes, they are.
I assume they are referring to this single instance, as it's the only one I could find.

https://apnews.com/article/law-enforcement-pennsylvania-mike...

But within the article:

> At the end of his news conference, [Gov. Mike] DeWine said he didn’t authorize the arrest and reporters have “every right” to report during briefings.

> “If someone was stopped from doing that, or told they could not do that, that was wrong,” DeWine said.

Seems OP's statement is a bit generally misleading statement for a single incident, without also knowing the full details that prompted the arrest in the first place.
> Unemployment is being touted as being the lowest since 1969. This seems fair to me.

I'd second the request for the thought process behind this judgement. We should have a worse safety net when the number of people who need it is lower?
Doesn't that risk making them tainted and unspendable?
Then you have tiered exams. e.g. if you score >1500 on the SAT, you can take the harder SAT-2 which would be used for admissions to top schools.

Given that you can go on YouTube and see videos of the head of the EPA telling the 9/11 first responders that the air was perfectly safe to breathe, I’m probably going to go with the cat owners on this one.
You can be invested in your home in more than just a financial sense. If you don't own it, you have no incentive (or even much ability) to improve it. The owner who doesn't live in it is also incentivized to do the bare minimum to keep it rentable. If you you're going to live somewhere long term, it's nice to own your surroundings so that you can improve them for yourself, and to have neighbors that are similarly motivated and incentivized. Society works better when everyone's self-interests are aligned.
Doesn't strike me as weird at all. Saying you shot some unidentified unmanned stuff out of the sky sends a much different message than saying you possibly shot an unidentified someone out of the sky.

Not wanting to disclose what it was isn't the same as being fine with any interpretation of what was done.

Here’s my attempt at a steel man: JD Vance is one of the bad guys on the bad guys team. Whenever bad things happen it’s the bad guys’ fault.

I’m aware that sounds like a pretty poor alloy, but it’s internally consistent, matches the observables, and I can’t really honestly do better.

Edit: The point of this is to explain what this derailment has to do with JD Vance. Any reply that fails to explain why JD Vance is somehow personally involved is failing to do better than the offered steel man. Just generally supporting policies you disagree with merely makes him a bad guy. You do think he’s bad for supporting these policies you believe are bad right? Next you have to show that a freshman senator in the minority who’s been in office for a month is somehow responsible even indirectly. I’d like to see a better effort to steel man that than mine.

You have it backwards. We DO grow by establishing new "small towns" (better known as "housing developments" or "mixed-use developments"). Increasing density in a way that resembles older "small town" development would certainly be preferable, but is difficult with the transit policy status quo in much of the country. TODs are an example of attempts to do so anyway, with mixed results. The uncomfortable truth of our housing policy woes is that they're intertwined with transit policy and everything connected to that (American manufacturing and business, energy, political legacies, etc.).
A significant proportion of them are, unless you assume that proportion is just blatantly dishonest.

The prices are high in major cities because lots of people want to live there. Remote work will reduce demand as people don’t need to commute. But lots of people like to live in the city, either because like what city provide or their life there. All the economic activity means there a lot of in-person jobs.

With remote work, lots of people who don’t care about particular city will move to smaller ones. But if increased density increases supply, I bet lots of people will move to desirable cities. People who want the big city or want the jobs, but couldn’t afford it before.

Python's reference counted - if the event loop holds a reference until the task has run, then drops it, then everything behaves sanely. That's not a cycle. It just means the task that was scheduled will execute, which seems like the right default.
It is a mistake to ignore the power imbalance between landlords and tenants, especially when the landlord is a business. Sure you can argue that the market is out of equilibrium which causes this inflation in rent, but to say that is the only reason is a blatant oversimplification.

Rich landlords will keep overcharging for rent as long as they are able. And more buildings just gives them more opportunities to exploit more renters. That is unless the renters strike or the government enforces rent control.
Your shows all seem to have a 7.5+ IMDB rating which means pretty much everyone should probably give them a chance if they like the genre/synopsis. (I certainly will, thanks.)

The idea of a recommendation engine in these comments is generally a holy grail that can predict shows you will like personally that aren't necessarily well-rated by other people. Shows that don't simply show up in the platform's "critically acclaimed" section.

Though your post is a good example of why word of mouth recommendations are important. Netflix could have the best recommendation system in the world yet it cannot recommend any of the great shows it doesn't have to show you.

Acetaminophen is cytotoxic and causes liver damage. No amount of it is safe. Yet we have children's tylenol.

It may be reassuring to know that most early and mid-stage trans care interventions are fully reversible, other than surgery and some more powerful forms of HRT. Surgery is pretty late on the road and many people never get surgery. So you don't need to be worried if someone you care about starts seeing a specialist about gender concerns, since at least for quite a few months, nothing serious is going to happen.

For younger people it's often preferred to use fully reversible blockers that don't even nudge someone along the transition path, which further reduces the risk of any kind of long-term regret.
They keep going at this rate, we'll get to 99 before mid March.

The widespread reports of smells in the air, headaches, dead fish and other animals makes it hard to believe that "all the readings are at normal concentrations".

Debunking the Microsoft/OpenAI/Google hype and over-reaction
Satya got lucky with OpenAI investment. Nothing smart. Now he’s acting like he foresaw OpenAI's potential and invested in the right place. I mean I’m happy the stock is rising but I know this is too early to say Microsoft won the AI wars and Google lost. Media is stupid and so are many techies who are overreacting. In fact even saying lucky is a bit too premature at this point.

Obviously Google botched the demo and should’ve been a little proactive but it’s still no grounds to believe that it’s behind Microsoft in AI. Having said that it still doesn’t take away the fact that Satya is much more aggressive than the coasting Sundar. Sundar truly deserves to be demoted if not fired.

Frankly we’re just like the ops division of OpenAI. We let them do research on our Azure clusters. Although I work at Microsoft I like to say it what it is.

It’s a bit alarming for Satya to come out and say they made Google dance. People forget that it’s was the seminal transformer paper released by Google in 2017 that changed the NLP industry dramatically. It’s the core backbone of ChatGPT.

I must say that I’m really happy to read all the positive sentiments about Microsoft which until yesterday was the football of even the shittiest companies out there.
There was a fire and the warehouse also contained a large amount of confiscated fireworks. Similar AN explosions have happened in several other countries too, with no resorting to conspiracy theories.
Population growth is largely a solved problem, as is food production. The hard part is logistics; distributing the food to people. Especially in situations where the market fails to provide enough for everyone.
1. The paywall killed your product. When I google something, and it leads to Medium, and I then see that it is not accessible, I CURSE and immediately go away. Let this happen three times and in my mind it is cemented that Medium is "that shit platform that wastes my time clicking on inaccessible content" - same like Quora, by the way. As long as the paywall exists, you will not get rid of that stench.

2. Substack killed you. I know that HN is mostly populated by extremely left leaning people who wholeheartedly believe in all the Current Things that MSM feeds them, so this argument will fall on deaf ears, but I will write it here anyways because it is the truth and if you aren't just a Woke CEO, you might actually care: During the pandemic, Substack was the only news source where I could get proper information about what is going on. Virtually everything that got people cancelled on Twitter and labelled as conspiracy theorists eventually turned out to be the truth. These people all moved to Substack. Thanks to Elon we all know now that Twitter was infested by deep state actors abusing the platform to spread disinformation and manipulate elections - I'm not sure if this is still true but I somehow remember that Medium emerged as a sub-company from Twitter, so I must assume that the exact same ways of censorship and propaganda that brought Twitter to its knees are also in place at Medium. If that is true, and as long as that is true, I can guarantee that you will have zero chance whatsoever against Substack.
Extreme outlier? I know many people that can afford to live anywhere they want that choose to live in an apartment for its many advantages. It sounds like you are projecting your own biases. The notion that everyone desperately wants to live in a suburban house is manifestly false.

There is a reason the rents on nice urban apartments in good areas would easily cover the mortgage in an average suburb, yet are still in high demand.
Ok yes, theoretically you can make something targeting the polyA tail. But everything else you body make will also get targeted because this is basically a marker of all RNA for translation.

My beef with TDD is the same as my beef with a lot of estimation techniques. They really need for you to have done the thing before. Faith that you "know what tests are needed" is surprisingly loaded. Unless you are writing, effectively, integration tests for specific layer. But, at that point there is no guarantee that you know how to write the magic in between. (There was an interesting attempt at a sudoku solver using TDD once. It... didn't end well.)

Though, typing that last part out. Maybe the concern is over the level of the tests. Unit tests are surprisingly easy to understand based on how you have divided out the code. However, there is very little that is required on how you have done this division. Path dependence is a huge thing to define what divisions of code you will end up with. Such that I have a hard time seeing how that works in a TDD fashion.

F-15s Scrambled from Portland Air National Guard Base
As though that were a great loss?

I live in a seven-unit apartment building on a block that is otherwise entirely single-family homes. It was built in 1890. As far as I can tell, none of the residents here could be noticed as out of the ordinary by anyone outside of our building; I have my gripes with the neighbors downstairs who play their TV too loud, but it has no effect on the rest of the neighborhood.

I can't say as much, however, for the house next door, which is rented by a group of college students who regularly hold loud parties with dozens of people over. I'm sure they're pretty conspicuous. In an economy where it is already very common for multiple adults to rent rooms in a "single-family" home, it is a mistake to blame people's behavior on the type of building they live in.
If bad guys are what you call politicians that repeatedly call to strike down industrial safety measures & corporate accountability, then I could perhaps say that you are on to something
