It's bad because of the lack of a fitness function: if we do something inefficiently, but we can afford to pay for it(which we always have, because of resources, having-an-empire, new technologies, etc.), it just keeps going. Once the buck stops, heads roll, and the parts of US history where it got close to that, the textbooks like to say as little about as possible.

So, most of the positive changes we make come from either random whims of the rich: "we can't have that here, my sinuses are too delicate", or moments of revolt that scare the rich into action. But the actions also tend to be random and often go down the authoritarian maintain-status-quo route.
But Springer, just a bit further south, has a pretty nice municipal airport. Sort of underscores why road landings aren't all that common, freeways tend to have airports adjacent to them at pretty frequent intervals. In NM it's common enough for small airports to be immediately adjacent to the freeway with the runway parallel to it that people joke about mixing them up.

How's the search? Our company moved to self hosted Rocket Chat from Slack a while ago, and while it's acceptable in general, the search is literally the worst search I've ever used in anything ever. Can't even find an exact match in the currently opened thread.
Not enough discussion here of the parts under "Our Optimization Strategies", which was the most interesting to me. Assorted reactions:

> We found that react-icons had an issue that lead to everything being imported. This meant that we were including every single react-icon in our package whether we need it or not.

Kudos to the Linen team for proactively finding this - I have a feeling tons of projects blindly trust that tree-shaking their dependencies will "just work" even though for many libraries it won't!

> We also noticed that we were only using AWS client for s3 upload on the client side and it was taking up significantly more bundle size we need so we replaced the entire client side package with a 2 api calls to the AWS api.

For such a minimal use case, this feels like a logical choice even if it's slightly more work to implement.

> We ended up moving the code highlight code to a backend api that would cache the results.

Love seeing websites make smart choices about which work to handle in the server versus the client.

Impressive! The AI provided a helpful response regarding the extraction of scale-invariant features in OpenCV:

To extract scale-invariant features in OpenCV, you can utilize the SIFT (Scale-Invariant Feature Transform) algorithm. OpenCV offers a Python tutorial that demonstrates how to employ SIFT, accessible at https://docs.opencv.org/master/da/df5/tutorial_py_sift_intro.... The tutorial explains the fundamentals of SIFT, including keypoint detection and description, as well as keypoint matching across images.

Mastodon is meant to be for microblogging (a la Twitter), but there is other software that accesses the same federated network (called the “Fediverse”) that focuses on other things, like long blogs (a la Medium), pictures (a la Instagram), etc…

(There are forks of Mastodon that increase the message length but on vanilla Mastodon it’s hardcoded to 500. But the fediverse itself doesn’t have a limitation like that, it’s a Mastodon thing)

Your initial post rubbed me the wrong way, but the change is intellectually satisfying.

I think the major component missing on the "do more" side is generational suffering, I think the major component on the other side is "why do I have to sacrifice for my parents sins."

Ultimately it is not "us vs them" and the solution does not have to be zero sum. That framing, the default framing, is bad for everyone. All of these discussions should come down to one core idea. Take more money from the rich and give it to the poor in the form of social programs in order to promote a more efficient and productive society. A rising tide lifts all boats.

People can exist in a state of deprivation, satisfaction, and excess. As a society we have a responsibility to minimize deprivation. If we minimize deprivation, I think institutions will be able to stay meritocratic (which benefits society) without being corrupted by culture wars and political battles. I think that is probably the happy medium.

> jack of all trades, master of none

It amuses me that the opening paragraph contains this phrase because I understand it to be longer:

> A jack of all trades, master of none, is often better than a master of one.

The longer version speaks in favor of generalists over specialists and the short version is often used as a sentiment (such as in this case) of the opposite; that generalists are somehow worse than specialists because they "master" nothing. Funny how language changes like that.

Yeah, one of the first things I learned (Ruby 1.8) was that Ruby is slow. If you can avoid creating a bunch of Ruby objects and push the logic into the database you'll typically see performance gains. The big exception was Mongo, where more "advanced" features got shoved off to the JS interpreter which was an expensive operation – at least until the 'aggregation framework' became a thing.

I assumed they’re referring to “lab grown” meat, not veggie burgers and the like. Literal “vegan meat”, which if successful would put an end to large scale animal farming/fishing, without requiring any change in dietary and culinary habits. The tech is still in its infancy, but it still seems to be moving steadily towards commercialization (I think I saw a post about such fish meat today)
For me, it will happily fit into L3 cache and it isn’t very close to fitting into L2, so I guess it is fine.

I struggle to see Meta as a good investment. IG lost a significant market share to TikTok. Facebook seems to be floundering. I do have to say that Market Place is awesome and is probably a better product than anything else in its space. If I had to guess, I'd say a significant portion of new signups are probably folks trying to use Market Place app. I know it's anecdotal, but I really don't know anybody who actively uses Facebook anymore otherwise. As far as Metaverse goes, it just feels like it will never catch fire. I know the quality of graphics has historically been pretty bad, but the VR market has seen a pretty decent uptick in quality of devices, yet it just feels like it's serving a very niche space. Does anybody see a bright future for Meta?

I wouldn't argue that millenials are dumber or meaner (my generation, btw), but I think it would also be wrong to mistake our expressed sensitivity and aversion for conflict as actual interpersonal skill.

And if we are talking about needing to pay teachers more so that we can attract better skilled teachers, what other skill would we be talking about?

Good thing that since then we've gathered extensive evidence supporting their effectiveness. Not that it should really surprise anyone. Putting literally anything in front of our virus spewing face holes helps people avoid getting sick which is why children are taught to vampire cough/sneeze. The crook of our arms aren't filtering viruses like an N95 mask would but somehow it still helps.

I think they tried that with Nebula already, to some? success.
I agree that there are vast social differences, but I think the primary difference is that teachers are not respected, both in terms of their wage and in terms of their social status, and education is not treated as sacred and liberating, but is used mostly (in the US) as a means of discipline and control, and the "educational" part is little more than propaganda. In the rare instances where it is not simply a means of state-control and propaganda, the would be teachers of math, science, and humanities subjects who are genuinely interested in education only for the purpose of showing what is beautiful and freeing in the world are never treated in a way which would make them want to do such a noble benefit for society.
They just have to be accurate enough on average with room for error. If they fire 90 unproductive workers and accidentally 10 productive ones, it could still be a net positive for the company, just on a financial level (morality aside).

>I’ve seen repeatedly that it’s much harder for a ML PhD to learn chemistry than for a chemist to learn ML.

Perhaps this is selection bias. Among all the chemists, the ones who will dabble in ML will likely be the chemists with the highest ML related aptitude. In contrast, a ML expert on a chemist project is more likely not being internally driven to explore it but instead has been assigned the work, which means that there is less bias in selection and thus they have less chemistry aptitude.
This command ("Combination Stick Command") is also useful in other situations: the same command can both start and stop the motors. It is exactly what you are going to use when launching and landing in your hand; once you are holding the drone in your hand, and you want to start or stop.

But now: how are you going to do it, when you are holding the drone in one hand, remote in another and do a command with both sticks? Don't you need a third hand for that? The answer is no. You need a lanyard for your remote. That way, you can use one hand for holding the drone and the other for pushing the sticks.

I considering a build with 13600k, and I am seriously just considering going with DDR5-4800. It's a tad cheaper than the DDR-5600 I was initially going to go with. I honestly do not think I would be able to tell the difference in day-to-day usage between DDR5-4800, DDR5-5200, DDR5-5600, and perhaps higher than that.

With that being said, I acknowledge that I am just making an assumption. Have you noticed any difference outside of benchmarks? I am not looking to go higher in speeds because I have seen videos (e.g. from Buildzoid) talking about how awful the 13th gen memory controller is, so I figured I am not really looking to gamble my time and money on max performance RAM.
I've had good luck subscribing through third party resellers. I can set the subscription to auto-renew at the same price I had the year before or If I want to cancel, I notify them and they do the cancellation for me. Currently, I have my Economist subscription through https://www.discountmags.com. It's cheaper than the Economist site and easier to manage. There was about a 4 week delay in starting my subscription though, so that's one drawback.
If anything is going to strangle the usability of federated social networking, it's petty or indiscriminate server blocking. I just saw a popular tips account suggesting that everyone running a smaller server should block mastodon.social if it grew over 50% of the active userbase.

Pleroma was the first ActivityPub server I tried running for myself. I picked it for technical reasons. I switched from it to Mastodon for UX reasons. I don't know anything about the politics of either lead developer, but I think both have crappy design decisions around how they display images by default.

Of course, block anything you want on your single-user server, and any persistent sources of abusive behavior if you're running servers for other people.
Hindsight is 20/20. It is easy to see now all the reasons IPv6 is not widely adopted, but back then they probably figured that adding more features would make it more attractive or something.

If I had a time machine and had to take a relatively naive crack at the problem, I'd make IPv6 really really simple: it'd just be IP-in-IP.

On the internet you're routed with an outer address, and the local router forwards it using the inner address. Speaking v6 over v4 is free because v4 routers ignore the inner packet. Speaking v4 over v6 just doesn't include the inner packet. Other local hosts are just contacted through v4.
Maybe it's my locale (California, USA), but where I'm from, "What you're doing is assuming" is a very condescending response to someone asking a genuine question, and can only be found on the internet. But, perhaps my locale is why I perceive this as odd, rather than it being odd.
