It's anecdotal, but as an upper middle class, gun-owning, formerly (pre-Trump) Republican-voting American white guy raised in a largely white upper middle class suburb, I've ridden my adopted city's bus many times and it's fine. I'd happily take it to work and save on gas if it went straight there, as it stands taking the bus turns a 30 minute commute into an hour+ commute. Also my kid's doctor and dentist are completely inaccessible by bus, never mind other activities.

Whatever the original motivations for suburbs, I've yet to meet anyone who moved to a suburb to get away from <insert ethnicity>, and I've had enough unasked for conversations with racists to know I don't immediately alienate them for whatever reason. Commute, crime, space and schools are usually at the top of the list of reasons for moving to a suburb. Sure you can argue institutionalized racism and such is somewhat integrated into those things, but very few people (with the possible exception of the less educated regions of the South/Midwest) are consciously turning down properties solely because a black family lives next door.

At any rate, those people are bitter losers and idiots who's opinion grows less relevant each passing year. There are plenty of more rational people who could be convinced if mass transit was made practical

Except that bike lanes often cut into lanes for auto/truck/bus traffic. Traffic has gotten worse over the past few years since a lot of bike lanes were put in. Maybe that's a reasonable tradeoff (probably), but bike lanes almost certainly didn't make things better for drivers. (ADDED: Around where I live I suspect bike lanes serve more as an alternative to walking and public transit than they do cars. Again, they're probably for the best but they don't really help drivers.)

This would be good if it was Free Software. I just don't see any reason to give this long-obsolete and moribund system any mindshare if I'm just sharecropping for some company as a beta tester. It's the same reason I avoid Mac OS and Windows and the rest - no need to use proprietary software when the Free stuff is as good or (for my purposes) better.

what is the long term viability of the MB Air’s components since it doesn’t have a fan / air circulation to diffuse heat?
the big technological leap with M1 convinced a lot of customers to buy the new Macs

Building on this — A good number of people who planned to buy new Macs (myself included) held off on those purchases until the M1 came out.

Call it the "Osborne Bounce" — A bit of tech is announced too early, and the anticipation reduces normal sales volumes until it's available. At that time, there's a huge spike in sales, followed by numbers being depressed because everyone already has the shiny new thing.

Something like the Osborne Effect, except Apple has the cash and product diversity to not go out of business while everyone holds on to their wallets.

I have watched the whole series and it is an amazing experience to watch someone's whole life. Most people will never see lives of people of different class, here you can see orphans, working class, privileged.

You can see how society works and how rich people stay rich and poor people stay poor. If you're poor and work really, really hard then maybe you'll become middle-class if you're lucky. If you're rich it really doesn't matter what you do, you'll be fine.

Not really, the asker is doing the reasoning here in that they are presupposing there are two operations for the door: Push or Pull. All the answer engine is doing is simply outputting what sound like believable answers (which it's really good at).
Ideally! It’s a great time for those with high amounts of wealth to buy up assets from those suffering from inflation. Cheaper stocks, people losing their homes due to unemployment, business going under, etc.
The article talks about how the increased demand for electricity raises prices, and the costs are then passed on to consumers. For anyone looking for more data on this, this UC Berkeley study from a couple of years ago analyzed the situation in upstate NY:

https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3779720

tl;dr: they found that the increased electricity rates costs households and small businesses in the area hundreds of millions of dollars per year.
Its budget is proportional to it's size in population and land. Of course Florida has a bigger budget than Vermont, or Virginia. More people, more land, more taxes on tourists, etc. It's not about the size of the budget, but rather budget per resident, and where that money goes. I've lived in Florida for a long time. I've lived in other states too. It's what Florida does with that money that has me shaking my head. War with Disney, Anti-LGBTQ legislation, book burning, government waste, poor roads outside of I-4 and I-95. Toll Roads everywhere. Ugh...

Yes, the confusing issue is that iron-in-your-house or as a building material generally has a higher carbon content than steel, making the latter more elastic and less brittle (generally).

Reading the article, I thought that it was not relevant to compare carbon footprint per unit of mass, and I was pleased to see it was addressed in the last section. However, the way it's addressed feels even more disingenuous: they removed all the non protein-rich food from the chart. Naturally, mostly animal products remain at the top.

Based on the assumption that humans need protein[0], it seems only fair to compare everything we eat on a carbon-cost / protein-value basis without cherry-picking the data points. It's here:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-per-protein-poore?tab...

A few observations:
- coffee and chocolate are very high up. To be fair, nobody assumes that those have any kind of nutritional value, and that's not why they are consumed.
- beef and lamb are very high. It implies that, even in the most charitable light, lamb and beef are bad in terms of carbon emission[1].
- among non-animal products, tomatoes, cassava and bananas are surprisingly high up. Higher than a lot of animal products. Now that is relevant, because those are consumed for their actual nutritional value. Rice, a staple all around the world, is worse than farmed fish, or eggs!
- wheat and nuts have an amazing carbon-cost/nutritional value ratio.

Their hardware are quiet good and often worth cost.

But their software are barely average and services (iCloud et al) downright pathetic. Definitely much worse than OneDrive which in itself it’s not great. I mean any data I have in iCloud I assume it’s gone — I don’t even consider it a safe copy of mu data. There’s barely any transparency around it (which is actually Apple’s DNA - lack of transparency in general).
Technically each Australian State is a sovereign entity with His Majesty King Charles represented by the Governer who is "advised" by the State Parliament. The Federal Government many only manages those things that cross State boundaries, like defense, international treaties and borders, once again via the Governer-General who represents the King.

We have an enormous amount of duplication in our governments.

Make a list of qualifications for the perfect DevOps person. This can be from knowing people in the field, or from want ads, or from career planning web sites.

Then start earning those qualifications. What certifications can you get? Do you need another degree?

Finally, make the jump to a job you are qualified for in your new field. You will probably take a pay cut in the short term.

Don't overlook transferring to a DevOps position with your existing employer.
Absolutely

AWS: Superior to the cloud compute at the Fang I was at. Best-in-class API, and documentation, and support on-call. Tenancy issues are rare.

Docker: Run any application on any server with one command. Isolates all state from that application to one-directory. Allows spinning up test-environments with your whole stack (~6 applications or so if you're a small team, including DB) on a server in a few minutes with docker-compose.

Github: Solid UI design, lots of little niceties, adequate search.

Splunk: Best-in-class logging solution (the place I was at asked you right-click download 200megs of logs and grep them). Can be intergated with Jenkins

Jenkins: Can do almost anything well, easily with the right plugins. Acts as both CI/CD job system and scheduled job system with full premissioning, history for auditing, logs, supports dynamic workers easily with AWS.

Packer, artifactory, slack for integrations, Jira (which can represent complex workflows well)

------

How they work at a startup - You can setup jenkins in a couple hours if you know what you're doing. Thanks to docker, it's 1-command to get it running. I'd then have nightly backups of it (easy via AWS or a jenkins job). Integrate it with LDAP so that you can lock down certain functionality if necessary (e.g. deploys, private creds). Set most jobs to have reasonable timeouts, retries, and alert the devops team on failures (devops will own making sure known-failure-cases emit the proper message and failure-code). Connect jenkins to splunk, and you'll have reliability and time statistics on every CI job.

Github PRs plug into jenkins, which can auto-lint, auto-build docker containers, and such.

Splunk (or sumo): Get logs / metrics / traces into here and/or datadog.

Simply a cold blooded, profoundly biased, partisan piece of the most outrageous propaganda on Bitcoin.

> By the end of Feb. 14, 2021, nearly 40 people had died, some from the freezing cold.

And you know what? These deaths may not have happened if it wasn't because of Bitcoin.

I look forward to the NYTimes' take on the Christmas lights. Maybe they can somehow let the reader infer someone has died because they made electricity more expensive.
LLM doesn't pick some results because LLM is smart, it picks results because it's trained. So analogy with a horse is valid.
You can build a neural network model of the whole device, but you have to collect a lot more data. Results depend on the number of parameter permutations you sample and on the independence of the controls. I trained a NN on an expensive analog EQ with millions of permutations, but because the controls are largely linear and independent, it can extrapolate well to unseen combinations.

You can also use differentiable DSP to obtain a decent “first pass” approximation using traditional methods, and then rely on the NN to make up the difference afterward. This dramatically reduces the NN parameter count and speeds up computation. I recently tried this on an analog compressor (LA2A) and got 95%+ of the way there with a very small model.

That'd be an issue if the support was more real. As it is the "show support" requirement is just that you do the "show" part. Usually any effective action is ignored or even frowned on.

It's not about the people being "supported" its about the your neighbors who see your bumper sticker.

I've always suspected that he's just really into paying people to try to make things from sci-fi come true. This has... varying success, depending on what the thing is, but he had one very good bit of timing which might come across as competence if you don't look very clearly.

Tesla - this is the one very good bit of timing. At about the time Tesla got going, it was about electric cars' time anyway, due to battery progress (notably, after decades of car manufacturers occasionally flirting with electric cars, with useless results, the Tesla Model S, first-gen Leaf, and Renault Z-E platform all landed within a few months of each other). If Tesla had started a decade earlier, it would have failed; a decade later and it would have been too late. The self-driving stuff is also an attempt at sci-fi actualisation, and is, er, less successful.

SpaceX - reusable rockets are of course straight from the pages in sci-fi (and, like electric cars, occasionally flirted with by rocket designers over the decades). Jury's really still out on whether this one is a success, I think.

Hyperloop - pure fantasy; even where vacuum trains appear in sci-fi, it is very often in the context of being broken.

Boring company - impractical.

Neuralink - common sci-fi concept. Doesn't appear to be going very well.

Twitter is of course a major departure.
One thing I am learning in doing research for local installers and HVAC companies is that you can't really trust any installer to do it right. Even the highest reviewed company will have tons of monthly reviews about wrongly installed equipment or bad advice to customers.

Like buying any major appliance, unless you shell out a commercial fee for a commercial product and contract, you're just gonna be rolling the dice. You can do it yourself but the heat pump unit itself may still vary dramatically from sales specs.

>M1 was released in November 2020, less than three years ago. How the hell are we supposed to be on M3 now?

Marketing. Consider why Chrome and Firefox increase their major version number every release for the smallest change now.

When Intel and AMD are both bumping up their version numbers every year or two, Apple sitting on M1 for three years looks out of fashion to the simpler people.

This isn't to say Apple (nor Intel and AMD for that matter) should release new CPUs or bump the number up anyway every year, but human psychology is undeniable.

I’ve shifted careers a few times now accounting > dev > design.
What I look for now is working out within a new career what defines the essence of the excellent craftsperson at that craft. Certain practices, mindsets, and the hard things to understand and master. I focus there and become valuable quickly. I obviously can’t immediately master then but I’m hungry curious about them, asking why do you guys think this is so important? How did you all learn it? What’s the edge we’re mastering next? All help me hit the ground running.

What defines an excellent committed person in this field from an ok one? Being deeply focussed on how to master the craft opens doors and you transition more easy.
Here's a story.

We lived in a "commie block" and we could hear our neighbor snoring super loudly during summer when we all had our windows open for the night.

One night, we heard him repeatedly stop breathing and then gasp for breath. So when I've seen him the next day by the elevator I told him: "Sorry to bother you, but we can hear you snoring" and he has gotten super apologetic. But I continued, "yeah, we are used to it so don't sweat it. The trouble is, you are stopping breathing recently. You may have sleep apnea. Go see a doctor, STAT. You don't want your brain to die off due to a lack of oxygen."

He told me in a couple of weeks he's got a CPAP and is working to shed some weight off. In a year he went back to a more normal weight.

He also started dating our neighbor. Curse those open windows... :-)

Curious, does anyone else see this and not identify it as casual pedophilia? Seems rather pedophilic to me.
Exactly.

Functions in these logics are total, so if you want division to be a function (and you probably do), it has to assign something to division by 0.

It would be acceptable to assign an unspecified object from the domain, for which you have no non-trivial theorems, and so all your real theorems must have a precondition about the denominator being non-zero. But if you specify a candidate like 0, you can get some theorems which don't have the precondition. Consider:

a/b * c/d = ac/bd.

This now holds even if one of b or d is 0.

I have wrestled with this as well — the revisionism as you call it. But I've come to believe that Woz fully deserves the credit for that slice of our computing history where he indeed made an outsized impact. And I even give Jobs credit for having the right smart friend at the right time and pushing his friend's hobby project into the mainstream at a time when apparently the public was ready to start dabbling in personal computers.

I give the U.S. education system credit for somehow seizing on the personal computer: recognizing that computing was going to be an important part of kid's future and going all in. (I'm not sure the degree to which it may have become a self-fulfilling prophecy though?)

I've seen Woz speak over the past decade or so and he does seem to be trying to get the spotlight on himself for his contributions. I don't hear Woz dabbling much in revisionism though. I don't blame him for trying to cement his own legacy in an age where it does seem Jobs is the one being given all the public credit for "inventing the personal computer".

Again though, if you are focusing on the very early 1980's, you would be remiss to ignore both Steve's role in moving the needle with regard to the introduction of the personal computer.
