You cant deep plough (>50cm) with horses they dont have the strength as this YT vid shows https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7F4X3idewA

>Yes they did. Plowing completely turns over the top soil.

Once metal ploughs were introduced they could start to cut deeper into the soil, but the earliest horse drawn ploughs could not cut deep because they were wood as seen in some parts of the world today with oxen pulling wooden ploughs.

The "mold" of moldboard is old German for soil but it was the Chinese who introduced the modern day moldboard plough most people are familiar with.

However is ploughing even needed today?
This practice was started after Brexit, and its reduced fuel costs on the farm because now there is no need for ploughing and the dustbowl situations are extremely unlikely to occur.

As always, in all areas, there is noise, but there is also incredible music being played.

I don't think there's a bubble, but rather the beginning of a change. Although I agree with the author: potential products with market fit could take a few years to permeate the traditional consumer base.

In addition, I disagree with the author in seeing how the market behaves to see if there is a potential "bubble" (in this particular case).

I think the technology we are talking about right here, like in any other revolution, might shake a few trees a bit but in the end, we will see a brave new world.
> genome construction costs continue to fall

On the other hand, construction construction costs continue to rise. Housing is of greater practical importance. It's a large chunk of every household's budget.

Cells are just biological automata, they are dead thing, just a bunch of robots exchanging messages, no more alive than a chair. However, when many types of cells come together, they form a living being.

Consciousness, or life, is an emrgent property that appeared due a collection of cells working together, it's more than the sum of its parts.

Where is the boundary? When do these automata become alive? We don't know, but we can be sure that monkeys and mice are alive, and they feel things. They feel pain, which is a property of the neural system.

To use another analogy, let's imagine a conscious robot. It's made of various metallic things, of nuts, bolts, alloys, wires, sensors, and let's assume it feels pain.

Performing stress testing on the individual bolts that make up its body (just bolts, like spare parts, from a toolbox) would not cause anything to feel pain.

I really recommend watching this kurzgesagt video [1] about cells, proteins, and how they interact.

There's no enforceable regulation regarding what happens to data after it has disappeared in a black box. And paying money doesn't remove the underlying mechanism that made the "free" model viable in the first place. The incentive to use it on top of charging for the service is still there. (That's how you get microtransactions and pay-to-win in games that you've already paid for, for example.)

AWS overwhelmingly uses Linux/KVM, not any type 1 hypervisor. There's a few leftover Xen systems, but those are legacy; you get KVM if you provision a new instance.
It would depend on the unit, but modern Japanese makes such as Daikin, Mitsubishi and Fujitsu are exceptionally quiet. I installed a Daikin multi-split system 10 years ago. My neighbour was concerned about the potential noise from the outdoor compressor. I assured her that it would not be possible to hear it from next door. On the final day of installation, the units were tested at full capacity. My neighbour craned her head around the wall and asked when it would be turned on. She couldn’t believe it was running full tilt. She couldn’t hear it at all.

I have a genuine Hakko 888, a “T12 clone” and a pinecil. These clones are usually not fake Hakko products but they use the very common T12/T15 tips. I got the T12 clone because I was moving and wanted something that worked on the voltage of my new country (it has a DC power input so it’s easy to change). This clone was like $20 and works just as well if not better than the real Hakko.

But I have yet to set it up in my new place because the $25 pinecil also works just as well and is so small and works on a usb-c power supply which I always have plugged in at my desk anyway.

So really I would just recommend the pinecil as your first iron.

> If I can convince 10 people to pay me $1 million each, I will earn far more than someone being watched by 10 million people paid nothing by each.

What does that have to do with capturing eyeballs?

Sports fans are the product. Advertisers are the consumers. The more product a game can attract, the more valuable that game is to the consumers (i.e. the advertisers).

It's no different to "free" online services (google, facebook, tumbler, youtube, whatever) - the visitors are the product, the advertisers are the consumers.

I'm more curious about why you find it illogical. Are you a sports supporter by any chance? You realise that it's possible to like something even as you realise that you are the product, right?

Being delusional about your place in the market is pointless.

Safari, not Chrome, but here's an AppleScript I use to map a trackpad gesture to the "next page" link on a wide variety of Web sites,

tell application "Safari" to do JavaScript "
(() => {
const loc = Array
.from(document.querySelectorAll('[rel=\"next\"], .next, [title=\"Next page\"]'))
.map(i => i.getAttribute('href')).filter(i => i)[0];
if (loc) {
document.location = loc;
}
})()
" in document 1

s/next/prev/g s/Next/Previous/ for the matching "previous page" script.

Note that this requires Safari's "AllowJavaScriptFromAppleEvents" preference to be set, either via a "Develop" menu option or directly in its preferences file via, e.g., the

defaults write com.apple.Safari AllowJavaScriptFromAppleEvents -bool TRUE

shell command, and that this setting allows any program you authorize[1] to send Apple Events to Safari to potentially do Terrible Things. Given that the setting is both disabled and hidden by default, and additionally gated by an opt-in privacy preference, it's presumably an unlikely target for garden-variety malware, however.

[1] Check the Automation group in the Privacy tab of the Security & Privacy preference pane for a list of programs so authorized.
It is because product managers should only be hired at the company after post product-market fit. And they innovate usually not in creating the new product, but improving the existing one, or identifying the possible new product to be created.
Yeah, but the Socialist Party is more like the US Democrats. Names are weird.
Men may be have a crisis of identity but women still expect their husbands to be the main breadwinners and suffer from the mismatch of expectation and reality too. Women avoid marrying men who earn less and have no potential to earn more.

As a result I'd expect a lot of single men with below average income and a lot of single women with above average income who struggle to find worthy men. Statistically it is impossible meet two condition at once: 1. women on average earn at leas as much as men 2. In a family a husband has income higher than a wife.

I first learned about the DWIM (do what I mean) concept from Emacs. With a little elisp knowledge you can tweak your editor behaviour to do exactly what you mean. This can be really fun (tinker) and rewarding (itch own scratch).

https://xenodium.com/emacs-dwim-do-what-i-mean

When you feel so at home with your editor’s configuration, you kinda want it to apply to all kinds of apps and often bring more workflows into Emacs. Email, note taking, and one of my favourite migrations, the shell:

Here's what I believe the author has missed: much like Amazon for the first (20?) years, they were not interested in making a profit - it would have actually hurt them, and the priority was to reinvest in their tech. This seems to have paid off.

OpenAI is run by Sam Altman, former YC pres and official smart dude. OpenAI's actual business plan has nothing to do with charging monthly subscription fees. It's more like Sam decided YC wasn't designed to be profitable enough, and wanted to make sure he got the whole thing right this time around.

OpenAI will invest $1M and offer early access to next-gen ML models in exchange for 10% equity. If you buy into the premise that a solution built on a highly customized current-gen model will be clobbered by a barely customized next-gen model, then it would seem as though being chosen by OpenAI to build a business with a headstart that nobody else will have access to is literally a license to print money.

In other words, OpenAI gets to select founders for and then automatically own 10% of the next generation of successful startups. If this plays out, I predict that OpenAI will be a FAANG-scale company this decade.

Ignore OpenAI at your peril.
You're still confused. The EMH is understood to imply that securities prices are the NPV of future cash flows (or more specifically their best estimate, using all public information), but that has nothing to do with ROIC.

(As an aside, the EMH is obviously false and you don't need to look any further than meme stocks for evidence, but anyway)

For example, suppose you have two businesses, both of them have a future cash flow NPV of $1 billion. However, one of them was started in a garage with $1 million of angel money. The other one is a "fallen unicorn" that got $500 million of VC money before it finally IPOed.

The ROIC of the first company is obviously going to be something like 500x the second, but this is irrelevant to their market caps, which should be the same in textbook-EMH-land, ceteris paribus.
If we let βₛ be as above (SignSGD?) and βₗ be as in LION, then it looks to me that βₛ=βₗ/α should make c from both equal.
Disclaimer: I work at Spotify, but not at music ingestion and classification.

I can give you a very high level overview of why it's the case.

Simply put, they are different songs, and it's near impossible to recognize that they are the same song (at least not efficeintly across the entire catalog) due to a combination of any, or even all, of these factors:

- they are on different albums. The albums might not be attributed to the artist. Or be a compilation, and attributed to many other artists

- they may come from different sources and copyright holders

- the metadata may be wrong, or just different (metadata is supplied by copyright holders, and it's often ... weird)

- they may very well be considered different songs by most catalogs (a Japanese bootleg version that is 3 seconds longer is different from the European Best Of release etc.)

- everything is the same except some of the people on the record (e.g. arranged by a different person, so attribution and royalties come into play)

- ids, hashes, lengths, musical structure, or whatever internal systems use to identify, match, combine, and display music may all be different, or different enough to be classified as different songs

- there might be not enough music classified in the genres you listen to to present you with a large enhanced playlist. This is an issue for most non-western music because western music is largely understood, catalogued and matched for most of mmore-or-less popular genres. And even there it probably mostly applies to US nad British music. You're looking for African jazz? Good luck. Internally it's likely just one big lump of music dumped by music providers.
It combined with a corruption of HAES: Originally it was "Health At Every Size", as in, an encouraging message that you can always improve your health no matter how big you are (which a lot of people need because when you start exercising you can end up gaining weight before losing anything, because you're building muscle faster than you're losing fat). But at some point it became understood as "Healthy At Every Size" which people took to mean your size doesn't impact your health.
> Plenty of companies exist whose busiest times are weekends, or where events happen at weekends for which systems need to be available

This is a reason to not do Friday deploys. It's always going to be harder to get anything done on weekends if stuff goes wrong, you don't want to add in deploys to that. For example, contacting a third party provider will be harder on a weekend.

I can see the reasons for a Friday deploy - if it must be done or it's just low stakes (which applies to a lot of projects where everyone can just go home and fix issues on Monday with some mild grumbling) then it's fine but otherwise I do think avoiding deployments on a Friday is a very good rule. They certainly shouldn't be routine unless you've got very good justifications.
I very much agree that many Western countries, not only US, are responsible for most African countries being poor via institutions like IMF and friends that fueled local corruption.

But I am not so sure about authoritarian regimes or tirany. South Korea and Taiwan 70 years ago were poorer that most African countries, have used child labor very extensively and had dictatorships when in Africa there were democracies at least on papers. Now these are the first world countries with working democracies. Even in China, when people became richer they started to care about environment and there were even protests again really bad pollution cases and there is much less child labor than 50 years ago. Yet Africa continues to be poor and use child labor extensively.

So perhaps some tyrannies are not so bad long-term.
Live in Brooklyn, can confirm. I don't like it, but this is how people talk about Manhattan.
We got a heat pump last year and the heat pump + installation was around 14,000 Euro (minus ~2000 subsidy). Even with the current gas/electricity prices in West-Europe it currently doesn't work out last time we calculated, I think we'll break even when we are lucky. The price delta between gas central heating and a heat pump is still too large. (Though having a heat pump will probably improve the energy label, increasing the property value.)

However, our main motivation was to stop destroying the planet. Also within ~25 years, the government will require every building to be disconnected from gas (to achieve CO2 reduction goals). And from 2026 onwards, gas heating can still be installed, but it it'll be required to install a hybrid heat pump as well (a lower-capacity heat pump, where the gas furnace is a backup).
Their thread started with:

> Sounds like a great book.

A great book because "every character was some form of LGBT or interracial or something". If you think it was a conversation to start with, you are simply wrong. It's closer to the delusions of someone who hypnotized themselves into their current worldview.

It amuses me to engage in this way. I am very calm.

> One element of consciousness is being aware of existential threats in order to make intelligent decisions

No, your subconsciousness does that. When you are asleep and your subconsciousness hears a scream it might decide to wake you up, or it might deem it wasn't a signal of danger and let you sleep. So a process can be very smart without being conscious, they are two separate things.

ChatGPT doesn't behave like a conscious being, it behaves like a subconsciousness at best.
I personally would not call someone “a female”, for the reductive reasons you mention.

I also would not change the words of a dead author to reflect modern usage because I enjoy stepping into a the past and seeing how people used to write. Plus there is the alliteration, which is really the clincher here: those who edited this are philistines.

> We were doing fine as a species at 1.6bln in 1900.

Maybe, but we were, as a species, a lot less specialised, and so individuals could succeed with smaller numbers.

The other part you are missing is that we no longer have access to the low-hanging fruit in terms of natural resources.

In 1900 we could subsist because we had a lot more natural resources simply lying around, or close to the surface. We used those up. We razed down countrysides, replaced with non-fertile concrete.

We have almost nothing right now that cannot run on electricity, which requires experts in multiple fields to harvest and distribute.

The majority of humans in 1900 were mostly self-sufficient, those who weren't starved to death. The majority of humans now are clearly nowhere near to self-sufficient if infrastructure starts to decay due to insufficient experts.

Remember, I did not say it will be scary, I said it can be a scary thought.

Not the same thing unfortunately. You really need more projections.
Did you try using leader keys? The issue with key binding in vim is that because it's a modal editor, custom shortcuts with the usual modifier keys (ctrl/shift) may conflict with existing shortcuts. But that's what the leader key is for, it allows you to bind an alternative key as a modifier, and use that for all your shortcuts!
25 years ago my secondary school English teacher told us that he didn't read Dahl to his kids because of how it equated ugly and fat with bad.

I’ve followed AI for 25 years, but it’s only in the last few months the potential has really come alive. Chat GPT and Midjourney are jaw dropping.

Every CEO and CIO worth their salary must be looking at how to incorporate this stuff into their business. And we can say that with a straight face unlike some of the other technologies which the tech industry has pushed.

So C3 stock price mooning I can understand as they are first to a super hot market (AI in large enterprise) which has grown in size overnight.
This would be so amazing. In order to access most vanilla services like redis, postgres etc. you need to deploy a bridge https://github.com/zquestz/ws-tcp-proxy

CloudFlare/Deno etc. all have these workarounds around tunnelling but all that would disappear with this protocol. I made a service for writing servers on the web (https://webcode.run -- somewhat abandoned at this point but it is still running), and a big problem with the approach was the web's inability to make TCP connections.

I’ve had one at work and while very nice to have, at home for hobby stuff I think you can get by with solder wick (it does take practice!) and chip quick alloy. Chip quick alloy is a very low melting temperature solder. After using it to dilute all solder joints on a part, it’s easy to melt all pins/pads at once and pull the part off.
Well art galleries, at least at first, never promised things like "representing the world" or even be for mass consumption. The average person could have easily lived and died never seeing the paintings or hearing chamber music or a symphony (depends on what era).

Paintings were a patron-based good that was producing family portraits and things for rich people that the excess of eventually got put into their country houses, that people could come see, forming the first "art galleries".

It is a modern and internationalist view projected backwards in time to have these expectations, and you will find even less worldly representation in the art of non-Europeans from that time, focusing on their own. (Nothing wrong with that).

Contrast what non-European art was doing with the wealthy European Baroque patron who was buying stuff from China and Africa, travelling around the world lot, admixture of various European cultures to produce baroque music (also didnt have copyright so "sharing" common between composers building on each other). This was very diverse and worldly for that time.
