Thanks! If you are doing basic drag-and-drop BI queries on data you already have in a centralised warehouse, Metabase may be the best option for you.

From what I can see from GitStart, Datapane will be useful if:

1) You want to go beyond BI and build applications that can actually run code. For instance, an internal tool that pulls down data from a new Developer's GitHub repo and rates them on some heuristics.

2) You want to create custom reports or dashboards for each client. For instance, for each customer you have, programmatically generate a custom report with data and plots which demonstrate ROI, and share it with them / embed in your product. You could even create a Slack bot where they could generate these on-demand.

In terms of effort, it would be pretty trivial to port SQL queries to Python and use them to generate reports. Would love to help out if we can; I'm leo@{ourwebsite}.com
Here is a script that I use, mainly composed with the Toybox version of awk, that will extract all of the WiFi passwords stored on an Android device.

This is enormously portable, and does not require any new software installations for Android users who have root.

Requiring xsv would reduce availability to a fraction of where it can be run now.

#!/bin/sh

find /data \
-name WifiConfigStore.xml \
-print0 |
xargs -0 awk '

/"SSID/ { s = 1 }
/PreShared/ { p = 1 }

s || p {
gsub(/[<][^>]+[>]/, "")
sub(/^[&]quot;/, "")
sub(/[&]quot;$/, "")
gsub(/[&]quot;/, "\"")
gsub(/[&]amp;/, "\\&")
gsub(/[&]lt;/, "<")
gsub(/[&]gt;/, ">")
}

s { s = 0; printf "%-32.32s ", $0 }
p { p = 0; print }

' | sort -f

Note that the -print0 null processing is not POSIX. This is a reasonable compromise of standards compliance, as it does not reduce the base of available users.

I did try to do this first with arrarys, but awk segfaulted.
I see woke as mainly two things. First, it’s the elevation of feelings above reality, and if need be redescribing reality to contort to certain people’s feelings. (“Certain people” leading into the second point) Second, it’s seeing everything through the lens of historical power imbalances, but importantly it’s taking an “ends justify the means” approach that discards all principles to rectify those imbalances…that rectification is itself the only principle.

It’s all a cult, and an extremely ugly one at that.
I wonder if there is a market for a framework gaming laptop. Really hope there is.

Also, on another note, I've read this engadget article about how other companies tried to build an upgradeable laptop and failed but I see Framework as a different kind of beast for one simple reason. This is their only value proposition, they don't have an alternative.
In a very "Innovator's Dilemma" kind of. way, Dell and other big manufacturers have their main lines with higher margins and/or volume that really drives their attention and money, so any new innovation that takes more than 1 to 3 years to mature gets cut pretty fast. For Framework is kind a kind of "burn the ships" moment, they don't have anything else to turn to, so they have to keep pushing. I really hope they shine (and don't get acquired)!

This article misrepresents the theory of distributional semantics.
The article implies that words that most often appear "in the vicinity of" each other, or words that are "colocated", are semantically similar.

For example, colocation as a predictor of similarity would imply the two words "bank" and "statement" are semantically related.

This is not how word embeddings are trained.

Distributional semantics states that words which appear in the same contexts have similar meanings.

For example, consider these two sentences:

The desert is hot

The desert is dry

"hot" and "dry" both appear in the same contexts, they both appear after "the desert is", this is what gives them semantic similarity.
Not sure linking to a source saying the WSJ is “Center” really is sufficient here. Here’s another showing they’re center-right: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/wall-street-journal/

Why did I, a paying GitHub customer, discover this when trying to do "git pull" on a repo I own?

My immediate assumption wasn't that GitHub had changed keys. I thought that my computer was having some sort of problem. Only after searching around for a bit did I find out that yes, GitHub changed their private key.

Couldn't they have e-mailed all of their users and/or customers, to tell us what had happened?

The latency critical stuff traditionally happens in dungeons or other instances, precisely to get those players on a shared physical server. You just have a fleet of servers that each can handle X instances, and have a queue in between. And conveniently player state can just be synced in the loading time before and after the dungeon.

The bigger world is handled by slicing it up, but you still have a lot of communication going on with central databases for stuff like inventory management, chat, quests, etc. so you would probably try to keep all that within your own server racks.
Well it is Free Software (<https://codeberg.org/teddit/teddit>, AGPL license (best license)), so anyone who is interested can do some profiling to see where the slowness comes from. Without doing any of that myself I would hazard a guess that the issue would be either of:

A: The Reddit API being slow or rate limited.

B: The site being hosted on a cheap VPS.

If the second issue is at play you could speed things up by running it locally (the README file includes instructions to do so with either Docker Compose or directly via Node).
In case anyone wants another example of how to set up revoked host keys:

# Add this to the top of ~/.ssh/config
RevokedHostKeys /home/username/.ssh/revoked_host_keys

then

cd ~/.ssh
mkdir revoked_host_keys.d

echo 'ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEAq2A7hRGmdnm9tUDbO9IDSwBK6TbQa+PXYPCPy6rbTrTtw7PHkccKrpp0yVhp5HdEIcKr6pLlVDBfOLX9QUsyCOV0wzfjIJNlGEYsdlLJizHhbn2mUjvSAHQqZETYP81eFzLQNnPHt4EVVUh7VfDESU84KezmD5QlWpXLmvU31/yMf+Se8xhHTvKSCZIFImWwoG6mbUoWf9nzpIoaSjB+weqqUUmpaaasXVal72J+UX2B+2RPW3RcT0eOzQgqlJL3RKrTJvdsjE3JEAvGq3lGHSZXy28G3skua2SmVi/w4yCE6gbODqnTWlg7+wC604ydGXA8VJiS5ap43JXiUFFAaQ==' > revoked_host_keys.d/github-leak-2023.03.23

ssh-keygen -k -f revoked_host_keys revoked_host_keys.d/*

the last command combines all keys in the subdirectory into the one properly-formatted binary file. So, you can add more keys into the subdirectory later (but you do have to remember to rerun it -- personally I saved it into a one-line script at ~/.ssh/revoked_host_keys.sh so I don't forget)

> naive to the point of absurdity, when the rich and powerful quite often are gifted loopholes for the profits to not be taxable

This is not how I read OP. You’re reading a Panglossian “we’re in the best of all worlds.” I read we’ve found a good solution, but it’s a work in progress.

Democracy alone has evolved through the centuries, ranging from electoral fetishism to enlightened autocracy. Progressive taxation, meanwhile, is a mostly modern invention. Yes, it’s easier to take a cheap shot at how the rich are powerful, but that’s OP’s other point, the rich are always powerful. How they are incentivised to use that power, and how they accumulate it, is a much more productive (and intellectually challenging) discussion than pointing out we aren’t in a utopia. (We know that. Everyone knows that.)

Our priors strongly suggest that AI will have similar biases to ourselves and are not immune to cognitive faults. I am not sure it is possible to train an AI (or possibly any intelligence) with no biases.

ChatGPT's working memory seems to be less than a human's, as does its ability to perform correct calculations (although it is fast about it).

To suggest that AI will be better at something without evidence just because it runs on a computer would be contrary to available evidence.
I guess its because they didn't translate the article into french. What I also find confusing is that when you change the language, the controls are still in the original language. I can guess what button is for changing the language but still not a great design.
> now they're going after hipster ratios?

Eh? 16:10 is a pretty standard ratio; all Apple laptops have used it since about 2007, for instance (until very recently, when they've gone a little taller) but also many other vendors (usually on the high end; for whatever reason manufacturers do tend to treat taller than 16:9 as a bit of a premium option). It was also effectively the standard ratio for widescreen desktop monitors for most of the noughties.

16:9 on a small laptop screen really is _very_ tight; honestly I kind of miss 4:3 laptop screens but that ship has definitively sailed.

Is your concern about video? Watching TV is probably not most peoples' major use of laptops, and in any case a lot of content is made at ratios _wider_ than 16:9 these days.

I don't understand that scandal. It sounds like in 1981 this Dickens guy claimed to have discovered a ring of pedos, and using some special free speech power he publicly named one of the members, then assembled a 40 page document that listed 8 super powerful people who were supposedly involved in the ring because he wanted them all exposed. So a few years later in 1984 he hands his dossier over to another guy in Parliament, and it was supposed to go to the police, but then a bunch of it went "missing" so now everyone wants to know who the 8 people were and who covered it up, but why is there even a mystery about the people named in that dossier?

For like 11 years after Dickens handed over the dossier he could have just said who they were. He still had that same immunity he used to name the first one and could have told the world, but he apparently just decided not to even after seeing nothing came from his "explosive" report that was supposed to change everything, and even after having previously threatened to do exactly that and use his immunity to name the others.

So, why didn't he just do it? Why is the question all about where this guys one pedo report went. He knew what it said. Why didn't he just type up another one? Why not a bunch of them? How did he end up being the only person to get this information in the first place?

He said that he'd been threatened after naming that first guy, but that didn't stop him from compiling and turning over his dossier. I guess maybe the 8 powerful mystery people threatened him harder until he shut up, but if we can't blame him for not just saying who they were because of those threats, how can the IOPC or anyone else who tried to investigate it later be blamed. Couldn't they have been threatened into silence the same way?

It's really messed up if its all true, but the whole thing seems full of holes and uncertainty. Then again, that's just what I managed to get out of Wikipedia so what am I missing?

As part of the executive arm of government, they are under the responsibility of the government. When they screw up it reflects on the ability of the government to organize, regulate and fund that executive arm, and also the trust that people have put into those politicians.

If people no longer trust that executive arm of government, then hold those in power responsible for it. Start at the top and replace those politicians. An elected politician can only remain in office if they continue to receive support by voters.

Is status really linked to ability? Was SBF an anomaly, or just might it have been the case that he benefitted from obvious unearned social capital, like his Stanford professor parents?

The fact that this key was apparently not stored in an HSM, and that GH employees had access to this private key (allowing them to accidentally push it) means that effectively all communication with GH since the founding of the company has to be considered compromised. This basically means that, depending on your level of paranoia, you will have to review all code that has ever interacted with Github repositories, and any code pushed or pulled from private repositories can no longer be considered private.

Github's customers trust GH/MS with their code, which, for most businesses, is a high value asset. It wouldn't surprise me if this all results in a massive lawsuit. Not just against GH as a company, but also to those involved (like the CISO). Also, how on earth was it never discovered during an audit that the SSH private key was plain text and accessible? How has GH ever been able to become ISO certified last year [0], when they didn't even place their keys in a HSM?

Obviously, as a paying customer I am quite angry with GH right now. So I might be overreacting when I write this, but IMO the responsible persons (not talking about the poor dev that pushed the key, but the managers, CISO, auditors, etc.) should be fined, and/or lose their license.

LLM have no mechanism for determining truth. They have a dataset which determines what is truth to them. If you include "all sources" they are just going to include a lot of junk next to useful information. An ML algo consuming content generated from other ML algos (which will be the reality very soon) is basically just recycling garbage over and over. It's certainly no mechanism for elevating "truth".
Highly regulated capitalism maybe. Unregulated capitalism is a dystopia generator.

I'm thinking of my next laptop. I only use it for work (programmer) plus maybe play movies. I have no interest in games.

Huffman is not exactly known to stick by his words if it hurts his bottom line... Remember when he and Ohanian advertised Reddit as a "bastion of free speech" back ten years ago when it brought them new users, and then he did a 180 on that when it was convenient to raise advertising revenues in 2015?
Really understanding those properly and deeply can take a lot of time, though. I've been using it professionally for almost two years at this point and some of those hooks I'm still a bit shaky on (although we don't use them that often, and probably less often than we should). And I just learned a couple more new things in the 'You might not need an effect' article that was posted here the other day (I already do most of those, but not all of them).

And I manage several junior developers and I've seen them struggle to understand all of these, even over many months including pair programming and code review feedback.

That being said, I was able to jump into an existing codebase and be useful in about a week with very little prior knowledge of React (just some dabbling in React Native pre-hooks), so I don't think it's hard to learn enough to start doing useful things with it, especially if you already know Javascript/Typescript.

And I would agree that I've struggled much more with other React libraries than core React itself. It's been a long time since I've had to look anything up for core React hooks, I can write lots of React code (in Typescript) and be relatively confident it will work as intended, barring some dumb mistake I made or a misunderstanding of how the data flows in the existing codebase, as long as it compiles.
I tried a meal kit prepared by a local restaurant group at the peak of the pandemic, and it was actually very good, though pricey. At the time, I think it was an alternative to eating out given the circumstances and was priced accordingly. I've been wanting to get on one again for a little while as a way to potentially reduce my use of take-out.

Packaging wise, a lot of these meal kits seems far preferable to buying my own supplies where everything is packaged in plastic. Paper/cardboard is far more common, and is preferable as an easily and effectively recyclable material. On the other hand, the CO2 emissions from the delivery seems like it would easily cancel out any potential benefits.
