Am I mis-remembering recent studies showing that alcohol does no good whatsoever for health (in contrast to earlier studies to the contrary)? Or is this just one of those that stays an open question in the hope that someone proves it true?
ChatGPT is talked about a lot but who is actually replacing search with it?

If we had started Unleash just a few years earlier, we would not have been able to scale private instances like we have.

This is because platforms like Kubernetes empowers Unleash to efficiently sandbox customers. And as managed Kubernetes matures, this sandboxing becomes easier and easier to run.

This significantly brought down the cost of choosing single tenant private instances over multi-tenant solutions. It changed the calculus, especially when you bring in all the benefits of single tenancy.

In this way, single tenant private instances have shifted from an outdated way of doing things, to the future.

Ten years ago it would have been nonsensical to choose single tenant. It would have been seen as a step backwards.
A focus on private instances is not for everybody, particularly for B2C companies.

While we can do more today, there is obviously a cap on how many customers we can do this with. We’re nowhere near that limit, and newer technologies could make this even more scalable over time. But for a B2C company with millions of tenants, private instances probably wouldn’t make sense just yet.
You know how someone walking down the street might give you a collection of vectors over a field, and ask questions about the subspace the vectors generate? You might make an orthonormal basis set of vectors which generate the same subspace, as a means to more easily answer questions about the original vectors.

Groebner bases play a role similar to a minimal orthonormal basis for a set of arbitrary vectors in a vector field, except the set of things to be linearly combined, and about which the linear combinations will be asked questions, are not tuples of floats (vectors) but instead are polynomials.

It says that microsoft answered that it is "investigating the issue" which is a pretty much standard response, but it does not confirm that microsoft did not implement this. But seeing that [they even have a master filter for which urls to send to the bingapis and which not](https://www.bingapis.com/api/v7/followweb/getdomainfilter?ap...) it seems definitely a feature.

My whole family had strep throat for a month. I'm convinced it's because they were reticent to prescribe antibiotics strong enough. They said "You'll feel better in 24 hours, promise", and when I called 3 days later with a fever still, they just told me to ride out the course.

The whole protocol does.

IIRC you basically have to get a Kermit prompt and issue your commands to the server. Which is easy if you use an actual Kermit client, like Columbia put out (though apparently for the last 12 years it's been an independent project no longer affiliated with the university), but most people just used the internal version that came with their terminal program - with the primary effect being that most people had no idea it was actually a fast, flexible protocol (see the long explanation at http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/misconceptions.html).

The stated reason for this is that it should always default to working, and it's up to you to configure it to work well if your connection is better than rusty barbed wire.

Thanks for the kind words.

Yes, I would definitely consider it a language in the ML-family. Its core is based on Hindley-Milner (like StandardML, OCaml, and Haskell) which I think is the hallmark of ML-family languages. Flix sits neatly between Ocaml and Haskell in that it allows side-effects (like Ocaml, unlike Haskell) but they are tracked by the effect system. Hence one can program in the spectrum between those two languages, but get strong guarantees from the compiler.

In terms of adoption, we see a lot of people trying it out, and there are some packages out there already, but nothing too big yet. We recently added support for package management, so hopefully that will help the community grow.
Google spends ~20B/quarter on stock based compensation. So It's really just a 50B buy-back if they do such a large buy-back each quarter. Otherwise share-holders would be diluted.

Yes, the cars appear to be waiting on the red light and not in a jam. Google maps shows 14 min by car and 28 min by transit between SE 42nd Ave and Powell Blvd to the Pioneer Courthouse Square. I imagine there might be times when car traffic is impeded to the point it takes 60 mins, but Portland buses with dedicated lanes are not everywhere, they have the same problem as trains: the routes are limited and getting around Portland on transit is extremely slow in general.

I read this to see if it would be useful to share with my 9 year old. After reading it, I think it is not any more useful (alone) than watching the 3b1b video on this topic. The video is longer, but has more visualizations.

I think that perhaps reading this description after watching the video might make the process more memorable. My guess is that if I had my daughter read this first, it wouldn't do much to make the video easier to parse. Reading this real-world example after watching the video could help solidify the concept.

You're 100% right, and people are gonna hate to hear it. It's like getting people to drink cough medicine.

2 decades ago, we were naive enough to wonder what online video streaming would look like. Now it's an ad-fuelled treadmill that has more promotional content than candid, sincere videos. We were also dumb enough to imagine online search indexing, same problem. Even your app store is not safe from being weaponized.

It's a sad pattern that is 100% fueled by the desperate profit-seeking of shareholders, and sustained by the free market in general.
Not too surprising that Nadella's comments are focused on AI, even as the growth is all coming from legacy products (and not yet Bing Search or AI-powered products).

Do you complain about having to put braces around C expressions to not get unexpected behaviour from the compiler?

> He points out a real ambiguity in the syntax where the parser literally parses the same-looking and same-behaving statements completely differently.

No, he doesn’t. If that what you got from the article, you were bamboozled. He points out that match, try and (;) have different precedence which is not ambiguous. Writing begin and end is not a workaround. That’s how you mark blocks which is what he should have done because, well, he wants a block.

Erlang has exactly the same issue if you write unidiomatic code by the way.

That’s unsurprising because "don’t write code implicitly relying on precedence behaviour" is taught to virtually all beginners in most programming languages.

> Tell us more about the form of farming that contains the high energy consumption shortcoming listed above ... even a comparatively small reduction in energy availability from a cloudy year can cause a noticeable impact on yields.

Sorry, I may have some trouble getting your meaning - maybe it's too late here.

Are you trying to imply that my point above (High energy consumption) is somehow related to sun's energy, or that all crops need sun to grow (that would be trolling).

- Feed production: Growing crops for animal feed requires energy for cultivation, irrigation, and the production of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Additionally, energy is needed to harvest, transport, and process these crops into feed for livestock.

- Livestock management: Maintaining the well-being of animals in farms demands energy for heating, cooling, and lighting of barns and other facilities, as well as for powering equipment used for feeding, cleaning, and waste management.

- Transportation: Energy is required for transporting animals to and from farms, feedlots, and slaughterhouses. This includes the transportation of feed, water, and other supplies to farms, as well as the transportation of animal products to processing plants and markets.

- Processing and packaging: The slaughter, processing, and packaging of animal products also consume energy. This includes the operation of slaughterhouses and processing plants, refrigeration, and the production of packaging materials.

- Refrigeration and storage: Animal products typically need to be stored at low temperatures to prevent spoilage. Energy is consumed in maintaining refrigeration units at the necessary temperature both during transportation and storage at processing facilities, warehouses, and retail outlets.

- If the world adopted a plant-based diet we would reduce global agricultural land use from 4 to 1 billion hectares (https://ourworldindata.org/land-use-diets)

> I wonder what we would eat if we saw a dramatic decline in available energy

Cloudy skies, or maybe volcano eruptions darkening the sky for months/years, or snow in summer? Most would starve, i suppose. What we would eat? Do you mean grow? Mushrooms, maybe?

Help a lapsed mathematician out here... the complex numbers can be represented as skew-symmetric 2x2 real matrices, right? And this is an isomorphism? So if the 2x2 real skew-symmetric matrices are "the same" as the complex numbers, how do we end up having this issue that comes up in quantum physics where you can only use the actual complex numbers and not the representation?
I'm not sure if that's a distinction or a difference. "Ñ" is a completely different letter than "N", but that doesn't make "~" less of a tilde.
There's something you've missed there: forests - not just trees but the forest's understory, the animals living in it, the microbes in the soil etc - sequester carbon constantly. It isn't just "how much does the tree weigh, we've sequestered that much", it is about the ecological processes involved.

To give a fairly obvious example, think about deciduous trees: once a year they shed a large amount of carbon (leaves) which then goes into the soil. The nitrogen content is used for matter for plants, while the carbon is not.

Over time, this deposits more and more carbon in the ground itself. This is a good, safe place for it, and the model above is one of the simplest. Ecosystems are great at this stuff if we stop setting them on fire or otherwise killing everything.

Agreed on keeping it in the ground, though.

> an appropriate level of understanding mainly through analogies and metaphors

I think it's actually worse than that - somebody who doesn't know actually realizes that he doesn't know, but somebody who _thinks_ he understands through analogies and metaphors will confidently come to the incorrect conclusion and then argue with somebody who actually does understand the topic - often managing to convince innocent bystanders because his reasoning is easier to grasp and the so-called expert seems to be getting more and more flustered (as he tries to explain why the analogy is actually correct, but oversimplified).
Yep, challenge author here, and it was definitely to teach that `argv[0]` is not trustworthy. I've seen privileged processes try to re-invoke themselves (as, say, a child process) by looking at `argv[0]` rather than something like `/proc/self/exe` (which is also subject to race conditions if the directory is writable).

The binary was not setuid, but was only executable (not readable) by the user used.

OK, maybe this is something that seems confusing for native English speakers (even I think it should not).

But your interpretation would be correctly worded as "3 hens lay each 3 eggs in 3 days".

"3 hens lay 3 eggs in 3 days" means imho completely unambiguously that "one hen lays one egg every three days".
Kinda weird to just go for an argument of authority huh? I'd recommend watching the video for a non-authority based series of arguments based on multiple sources and a lot of data.

Anyway, the reason they wrote that paper is probably because they are talking about extreme hypotheticals themselves. Notice how their comparison is that it's twice as likely as a 2km asteroid impact, which are once in every few million year events. So we're still dealing with something extremely unlikely to occur in our lifetimes.
If I'm sitting on a mountain of corn/a pile of gold/a warehouse full of NVIDIA GTX 3080 cards, and someone else starts growing corn/digging up gold/selling 4080 cards, my savings' purchasing power is going to drop, but it would be disingenuous of me to complain that I'm being robbed.
Given two candidates who can break down problems, I'd prefer to hire the one who can do it with a gun to their head (metaphorically, of course). Lord knows owners, ceos, board members, managers, and angry co workers would often enough like to put a gun to my head.
It's not a payment plan; they already fully paid for those servers the moment they bought it. Buying hardware is a capital cost. It's not accounted as an expense the moment it was bought and paid for, but gradually over the expected lifetime of the server.

If you buy a truck you expect to use for 10 years for $50k, the company's cash goes down by $50k but its capital assets go up by $50k to match that. This purchase has no impact on the company's net income, because the cost and the value of the asset are the same. Every year the value of the truck is considered to be $5k less, so its assets go down by that amount. To make the books balance out, there's a $5k depreciation expense for that year.

This is totally standard accounting, every company does it with any kind of capital goods. See the depreciation line item in the cash flow statement.

This is them saying that a server's expected lifetime is now 6 years rather than 4 years, so the amount of depreciation "expense" per quarter is lower.
Why would that be the case? When people are at work, the power usage will drop but then spike when they come back. They get home, plug in the EV, turn on the stove/microwave, lights, turn on/up the AC. The power spikes are directly corelated to people being at home. Even if you schedule your EV to charge at night, your AC doesn't stop working because youre sleeping. This applies to the entire neighborhood.

Obsidian is at the moment not really well-equipped for this task, even though some extensions tried to implement it. I think the major problem is that freetext like markdown simply sucks for managing structured data. And even though there is something like dataview, which enable some level of database-like behavior, it's too limited at the moment. But, there is a successor(?) to dataview in work which aims to be more like notion, and Obsidian seems to have some features on their roadmap which might also be helpful in that regard. So may, in a year or two the situation will have improved?

But frankly spoken, I don't think Obsidian is really a good solution for this. IT should be the other way around, based on a structured format like JSON, and enable a freeform-document which can be extended. Notion is doing this, and while their internals kinda suck, it's far easier for them to move their goals and improve their app.
Could you provide an example of how you would implement this approach to store Credit/Debit events for an account? Additionally, how would you handle a scenario where there are 30,000 events on the account, and you need to calculate the balance to prevent overdraft?
