Another good piece about negotiating with Product is written up here:

https://sre.google/sre-book/introduction/#:~:text=Pursuing%2...

Ultimately, it's Product's job to decide how they want to balance reliability and feature-shipping speed. Work with them to define an SLO (like, in 99.995% of five-minute timeslices of any given month, 99% of all queries will complete within 250msec) and then graph how well you're doing when it comes to hitting it.

If you're failing to keep things above that line, Product either needs to accept lower reliability standards or invest engineering time in improving reliability. Again, it's Product's call to make. If they do want to invest in reliability, though, that's when you get to present your wish list, work out an agreement on its ranking, and find time to get the work done, even if it means slowing down the rate at which new features are shipped.
The neat part is there isn't a good way to retaliate. These players by now are gone from the corp, as is the money, so they can't do anything directly to them anymore. If they were "burner accounts" they might never know who did it. If they identify the players and they belong to some collective they could attack that collective but at that point it will probably be seen as petty and getting laughed at might be more trouble than it's worth. These heists are seen as cool for the most part. They could try to stage a counterheist, that would be exciting but very difficult to pull off.

Perl had a "write one to throw away" philosophy that you should write a quick and dirty prototype to understand the business problem and then you could design the full thing with an actual understanding for how things work. Stuff was still complex back then, but probably a lot simpler. I doubt it's possible for a project past a certain size.
Wow, I'm shocked at the level of depth in this site. I thought for sure something like "best pens for your lab notebook" would be SEO drivel, but they actually test against things like alcohol and acetone, and consider writing on vials and containers and such.

In what way would they be exposed to risk? If I had a desire to exfiltrate to your competitor, I would just not bother telling you I'm leaving, exfiltrate, and give zero notice. Having this policy just makes you look like an idiot.
It could also be that a security model exploited in crypto has now been corrected for, and we are seeing similar attacks spread out to other vulnerable infrastructure that is lagging behind updated threat models.
Sprint was killed by making the wrong bet on 4G technology. They wasted their capital on rolling out a nationwide Wimax network right before all the other carriers and device manufacturers decided to use LTE instead. At that point Sprint was out of money to replace their dead end network.

That one lol. Are there any solid reasons to not support other runtimes? Appwrite for example supports Nodejs.
Then call yourself a fool since you must ignore at least one recommendation as they are conflicting.

This is not even an official recommendation in the code, just some stupid public education NFPA website, which doesn’t carry the same weight and for good reason. If ionization alarms are dumb enough that the Europeans or anywhere else in the world including the IAFF don’t recommend them at all, I’m ok with just following that. Dual sensor alarms have been shown in real world testing to perform worse. I have seen no evidence they perform better, but I have seen the opposite.

Fire codes and electrical codes are as much driven by industry (both union labor and manufacturers) lobbying in the US as much as actual good evidence based practice. Someone has stuff to sell, that is all. About 20 years ago when the sensible big push was made to migrate to photoelectric alarms it wasn’t long after that a new money-making opportunity was seen by now selling these dual contraptions.

“ In June 2014, tests by the Northeastern Ohio Fire Prevention Association (NEOFPA) on residential smoke alarms were broadcast on Good Morning America program. The NEOFPA tests showed ionization smoke alarms were failing to activate in the early, smoldering stage of a fire. The combination ionization/photoelectric alarms failed to activate for an average of over 20 minutes after the stand-alone photoelectric smoke alarms. This vindicated the June 2006 official position of the Australasian Fire & Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC) and the October 2008 official position of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). Both the AFAC and the IAFF recommend photoelectric smoke alarms, but not combination ionization/photoelectric smoke alarms.”

From the IAFF:

Which one should you buy? The International Association of Firefighters (IAFF), the largest firefighter’s union in the US and Canada has adopted an official position recommending only Photoelectric Smoke Detectors and has stated that dual sensor alarms are no longer acceptable. The technology used in Ionization Smoke Detectors creates a delayed warning in smoldering fires which can lead to loss of life. Photoelectric Smoke Alarms are more effective at warning of smoke from smoldering fires and are less susceptible of nuisance alarms. The IAFF recommends replacing all ionization, dual sensor and unknown alarms with photoelectric smoke alarms.

Notably Iowa fire code had required dual sensor alarms and had to back pedal that last year. Apparently NFPA public outreach hasn’t gotten the memo.

> Either alone will detect less than half of all house fires.

This is nonsense. Ionization sensor may detect certain fires seconds earlier according to NIST testing and those are not even the deadliest types of house fires. No reputable body would recommend PE sensors only if that were true.

I agree, but there are questions about GPT-N successors.

Surprisingly (to me) many people think that GPT-N will never exceed human level intelligence because it was trained on the internet. I think that argument is obviously wrong.

Another is that I am sure a large chunk of people will never concede that the AI is smarter than them. Literally never, no matter how smart the bot gets. I mean, probably a lot of people think they are as smart as anyone else. They won't agree that someone else is smarter than them, and they certainly won't agree that some bot is smarter than them. It's also a loaded assessment, like they will think that if they agree to that, then they are also implicitly agreeing to cede their personal agency to the bot.

Another possibility is that GPT-N successors that surpass human level cognition will be banned by regulation, like some drugs or nuclear explosives or bio weapons. They could even be pre-emptively banned at some level below human level, and maybe it would never be publicly acknowledged that it's technically possible to go above human level.

I don't think that is a correct interpretation.
> Shotspotter isn’t an AI though is it?

Shotspotter has been billed as a “system of sensors, software, AI and expert human review that accurately detects, locates and alerts police to gunfire”, and the company behind it (formerly “Shotspotter” was the company name, its recently been renamed “Soundthinking”) has a number of other AI-involved law enforcement products now, as well.
There's a great deal of privacy in simply being a needle in a haystack. Part of the processing that's possible with an LLM is filtering.

Imagine you've sent an email about transporting a friend's daughter across state lines to get a medically-necessary abortion. Or if you prefer, imagine you've arranged via email to "lose" some firearms which don't comply with your state's new assault weapons ban.

Pre-LLMs, trying to find these sorts of emails was very hard. A simple text search for "abortion" or "gun" is going to come up with far more emails where two family members got into a political debate, than emails about lawbreaking. Big Brother will find a few such emails here and there by chance, but the vast majority of such incriminating emails will simply be lost in the pile.

Enter LLMs, and Big Brother can feed some of the incriminating emails found my chance into a training dataset along with a bunch of non-incriminating emails, and teach the AI to find incriminating emails, and then apply the model to the entire list of emails and get a nicely filtered list of only the emails which are incriminating, further tuning the model by adding emails it gets wrong to the training dataset when they are found.
You may have luck if you frame it in terms of an investment. Spend the time now to fix your alerts, add playbooks, improve process - because you immediately start enjoying the benefits. Less time spent on support means higher velocity. The longer you wait the more engineering time you've wasted It just takes a little patience up front as well as product and engineering collaborating.
First, "solving" homelessness is wishful thinking - it can't be solved given the modern political climate, because on some level it would be accepting that some people should not have agency for running their own life, and need to essentially be made to comply to a set of rules to prevent them from self destructing. Good luck with that.

The best thing one can realistically hope for is inverting the opportunity cost committing crime the other way, where its generally more favorable not to steal. If homeless people can be shot by security guards for shoplifting, its almost guaranteed that you would see crime statistics reduced overnight. Homeless people would be more incentivized to pursue lives closer to normal.

There kind of is this with many companies these days. It's called arbitration. Someone did it with PayPal a while ago for example (ref: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33462658).

This is basically the approach I learned from HTDP, and it's helped me greatly for tackling some tougher problems. Basically you make a "wish list of" the functions/steps you'd like to be able to do, and then as you work on writing those functions in your wish list, you do the same thing again, going down and down until you hit the bottom and do concrete action with primitives or whatever. It's really cool to see how this can work by composing pure functions and types.

The interactions between the Indian and Greek civilizations during the fourth century BCE and later have been quite well studied, and what the article describes is not surprising.

For some context, the emperor Ashoka, scion of the Maurya empire, consolidated various smaller republics into an empire that covered most of Afghanistan and North-West Pakistan of today. These areas bordered the regions that were controlled by the Greeks at the time. Ashoka's time was one of consolidation and relative peace, people were more mobile, trade and cultural exchange flourished.

This article [1] sheds a little more light on the story. In fact, the visual image & depictions of the Buddha had significant Greek influence, the first images of the Buddha apparently surfaced outside India centuries after his death. The common depiction with curly hair was most probably not what the historical Buddha looked like [2].

Yeah but didn't they make a lot of money from support contracts before bullshit DRM? So isn't the difference between making a lot of money and a lot more emoney with DRM?

And if that's the case can't a defector break from the DRM paradigm and offer tractors without DRM so they still make a lot of money at a minimum, but likely more due to picking up more customers?

Like to put it in other terms can't they make up for the difference with increased volume, which drives down per unit production costs and takes money from John Deere?

Like why can't someone be the Kirkland brand of tractors?
I wonder how much overlap there is between substances that are considered hot/cold in ayurvedic vs traditional Chinese medicine. I think mangoes are considered cold (阴) in Chinese, though they are relatively recent to their experience.

> It's unclear why none of the other shareholders voted though. Did they quit the game or something?

The Reddit thread [1] has more info on that:

> So we settled in and watched, gaining an insight into when they were active and latest the most important part, who was active. In this intelligence gathering phase it clearly showed minimal activity, especially by the CEO and Directors. This fact encouraged us!

> Another sign for us that the CEO, the person in charge was barely active.

> We watched and waited, then one evening we set the wheels in motion. I moved enough shares to our agent to create a vote for CEO. The vote came up on my screen and we both voted yes! This now for the duration of the vote locks out the current CEO’s roles, but sadly not the Directors. This was worrisome as we now had a 72 hours wait on our hands before the CEO role and all its power was transferred to our agent.

> Over this time DOTLAN and the Corp description showing the new CEO and still no one noticed! No one in EHEXP or Horde, it was eerily silent. We checked nearly every waking hour to see if our plan would be found out, but it remained slowly moving to the final outcome.

> Institutions are allergic to short-term, acute risks that result from their actions. They are insensitive to long-term, chronic risks that results from their inaction.

That's not true in general. It all comes down to incentives on both the institution and individual actors.

To give a counter-example to your claim, there are plenty of companies who see the writing on the wall, and desperately try to do something to avoid the risk of inaction.

Facebook might be an interesting example: it's slowly sliding into less and less relevance, and the 'metaverse' is a big and bold bet to actively change that. (To make that example even better, as far as I can tell, it's not working out. So we can guess that there was considerable risk in taking that bet.)
RabbitMQ may have been overkill for the need, but it's also clear that there was an implementation bug which was missed.

Db queues are simple to implement and so given the volume it's one way to approach working around an mq client issue.

Personally, and I mean personally, I have found messaging platforms to be full of complexity, fluff, and non-standard "standards", it's just alot of baggage and in the case of messaging alot of bugs.

I have seen Kafka deployed and ripped out a year later, and countless bugs in client implementations due to developer misunderstanding, poor documentation, and unnecessary complexity.

For this reason, I refer to event driven systems as "expert systems" to be avoided. But in your life "there will be queues"
Eve has a really robust API that allows corporations to use third party apps to gather background checks before a new member is admitted.

Taseer is of anything, not exclusively only of spices. Warm milk raises body's temperature, so hot, so is mango fruits dipped in ice water. So is dry fruits eaten at room temperature. Cold milk with half water, and some ice cubes is of cold taseer. Mint drinks are cold, so if rubbing mustard oil on forehead & foot soles. Rubbing ghee or almond oil is hot taseer.

Taseer is not based on spiciness or taste, it is based on how one's body temperature changes after consuming that food.

Writing as if you were Aristotle, speak to the relationship between Large Language Models and human knowledge/cognition.

//

As Aristotle, I would like to reflect upon the relationship between Large Language Models and human knowledge and cognition.

Firstly, it is important to understand that knowledge and cognition are closely intertwined with language. Human beings have the unique ability to use language as a tool to convey and acquire knowledge. However, with the emergence of Large Language Models, such as GPT-3, we are now seeing machines that can also manipulate language to produce and process knowledge.

These machines are built using complex algorithms and trained on vast amounts of data, allowing them to produce outputs that can mimic human language to a remarkable degree. However, it is important to note that these models are not conscious beings, and their outputs are based solely on the patterns they have learned from the data they were trained on.

While Large Language Models can certainly augment human knowledge and cognition by providing access to vast amounts of information, they cannot replace the unique capabilities of the human mind. Human beings have the ability to reason, to form concepts and abstractions, and to apply knowledge in creative and innovative ways. These are capabilities that cannot be fully replicated by machines, at least not at present.

In conclusion, while Large Language Models can certainly contribute to human knowledge and cognition by providing access to vast amounts of information, they cannot replace the unique capabilities of the human mind. The human mind remains a unique and powerful tool, capable of processing and synthesizing knowledge in ways that machines are not yet able to replicate.
It may or may not use the Accept-Language header as well, but this is a user setting accessible via the Twitter web UI-- you specify your primary interface language and can specify any number of additional languages that you understand.

There's also a place in Twitter's settings to show languages that Twitter has inferred that you know (e.g. following a German-language account and interacting with it almost certainly means that you know some German).
