The lesson of attempting a Mars colony will likely be "life is a planetary system." and we will find out just how ill suited we are to being stripped of our environment for more than a few months at a time.
That message is poor UI. If you know what it means, you probably don't care about the possibility of sudo sending an email when you first typed it. If you don't know, you will be worried probably without a good reason to be so.

Nowadays it's even worse than it once was, because now the natural instinct of people is to think that the incident was reported to canonical or ibm. The opposite of how they are supposed to feel about when using free software.

I'd change it to "This attempted was logged" or something like that when that is true. Just so the user is aware that the data they are typing there may be seen by someone else. But by default, in their own systems, that message should never appear, unless they specifically configured it that way.
I've had good mileage with Boost. Had will be a key word.
cause we turned into a nation of lardasses lol. like half the country is obese and normal people seem to think that being just kinda fat is normal now

also, opioid epidemic is not helping things. this is really reaching and not sourced but i wonder if less smoking means more people reach for pills?
Basic chemistry, burning methane cleanly produces water and CO2. Neither is anywhere near as dangerous as lead or asbestos.
To be clear, I used to believe the gas stove propaganda myself. I too, like GP, had the feeling that gas was self-evidently better than electric, and that it wasn't possible to have an argument about it. Then I tried being open-minded about it and found the arguments for electric (and my experiences, once I gave it a chance) to be very convincing.
I worry that Android could become the Firefox of mobile, or even lose support for some applications if iOS becomes too dominant in OECD/developed countries.

For many businesses the cost of developing a native android app might not justify the revenue created by developing countries and low income OECD users.

Even now, I doubt it’s worth developing a native android app if your target audience have an income above $100,000. Or a video game where most of your revenue comes from whales that spend over $100 a month on in app purchases.
I was also a hypochondriac in high school and college, sleeping 12-16 hours a day and still being completely exhausted! Apparently what I really needed was more exercise. The CPAP machine I eventually got after ignoring my PCPs diagnosis merely serves as a placebo, but very effective nonetheless. I don't bother him with my delusions anymore.
I hope that you'll watch the recording of the talk when it's released. The context of the "cliche" is with regard to the community, the framework, and why Eileen continues to remain on the core team. It's nothing to do with the design or functionality of the framework itself. :)
There are a few consulting companies that specialize in this. For example Galois [1], with offices in several US cities. In the UK there is (or was) Praxis [2]. (I have never worked with either, I have just heard of them).

So because nuclear or other solutions can’t “immediately” be stepped up (debatable, but it doesn’t matter), we should not bother to create the circumstances in which they would become beneficial?

This go-nowhere attitude and is why people can’t take fossil fuel apologists seriously.
This would definitely be interesting in an RV, it's way more compact than engines in similarly powerful generators in a vehicle where space is at a premium - and the ability to run off the same diesel fuel as the main engine is a huge plus.
Do you want a bug report? The lowest row doesn't fit into width of my phone's Chrome. I can only see few millimeters of the rightmost and leftmost cubies. Pinch zoom seems disabled so I cannot adjust. Tried switching to PC mode, but everything became too tiny. Rotating the phone also doesn't help. So for me it's unplayable.
You don't need to run 100% on solar and PV to cut emissions significantly using it

Regarding seasons: in our country wind is strong when solar is weak and vice versa
Fair enough and thanks for the reply. Still, for anything bothering engineers more than a bit repeatedly, anyone will write tools to remove the manual burden.

Our internal practice is to delete code if you suspect it's unused, run tests, and if it doesn't affect any tests, go for it. This could be automated, but it is not pressing enough, so we didn't automate it yet.

We could though, and it may even be a good idea, but I still don't get the novelty. But I appreciate your point of view.
That statement is not true of Western music in general, only of most (not all) classical and poular music since roughly the 18th century, when "equal temperament," tunings designed to make all keys sound the same, became popular.[1]

Much Western music, such as that written during the the Baroque, Renaissance, and medieval eras, as well as certain modern genres like barbershop quartets, modern classical, electronica, microtonal and atonal music, etc. use a variety of other systems such as some form of just intonation[2], where different keys sound very different as they exhibit differently sized versions of the same interval.

Conversely, much non-Western music also uses some kind of equal temperament (where keys all sound the same), such as Chinese, Arabic, Indonesian, Thai, and Native American music.[1]

It appears to summarize the subtitles alone. I asked it to summarize a video that didn’t have subtitles (silent film) and it refused.

I can count on pretty much 0 hands the number of times I had an on-time appointment with a doctor. I understand they have things going on that drag out their schedule a bit, but my God.
I believe in the evidence that the moon landings happened.

However, as you suggest, even if that evidence were faked to such an elaborate degree could be an even higher technical feat that would be worthy of even greater recognition.
You mis-characterized me. I actually identify as a nuclear energy apologist. Nothing would make me more happy than to see nuclear energy sources being fast tracked.
Nevertheless he didn't takeover completely - it was still a computer assisted landing.
> I don't even spent €9 most months on public transit in Berlin

which means you don't really use the public transite net at all

because a 4-(one direction) trip bundle ticket cost already 10€, and that is AB only, i.e. excluding the outer areas of Berlin

or in other words if you use the public transportation so little and drive so little that it also doesn't cost you much you really are not the audience this ticket is meant to help
This skill has absolutely nothing to do with whether one has perfect pitch, however.
> I'm first to crap on K8s

OK to each their own.

Do you object to YAML? Kubelet?

It seems like a pretty solid approach to me. Some have been misdirected by it because something that uses a sizable fraction of a CPU doesn't work for their use case, but that speaks more to the lack of an alternative to Docker Compose, which Kubernetes wasn't intended to be.
> The best situation is to have a doctor who's a close friend or family member

The code of medical ethics advises physicians to not treat themselves or members of their own families.

> Again, why go via an LLM and not a search engine to the actual source?

I believe the argument presented (possibly in a separate thread) was that search engines have degraded to the point where what they show you is worse than LLM output.
This is a tragedy of the commons.

If the average adult height was shifted to about 4 and a half feet (1.37 meters) resource consumption in terms of food, transportation, building sizes, furniture and appliance sizes, clothing and linenry sizes, wash loads, heating and cooling (for smaller places) would all greatly decrease. We could have almost twice the number of people with the same resource expenditures.

This would be a huge boon to the world and humanity. But, as you say, it pays to be taller than average (within limits). Just don't be involved in a roll-over accident in a standard sedan.
Hard disagree, it's the opposite. Serverless helps increase utilization.
Similar in magnitude to the lost productivity of people optimizing for appearances rather than results at work. All prep is basically an arbitrage between the hard work of actually becoming better and the often easier work of preparation.

The ideal system would minimize this arbitrage, both for the sake of employers and candidates alike.
Ethics is not reducible to "learning not to lie." There's also "not using sweeping generalizations to dramatically affect individual's lives" and "using authority the way it was intended instead of shrinking from the responsibility granted by the will of the people" and a whole other host of ethical issues that apply to the various aeronautical administrations.

Brainwashing alone does not an ethical system make. You generally have to act ethically in order to teach other people to do the same.
For the average American, 4 devices in their home - water heaters, furnaces, stoves and gas powered clothes driers - account 95% of residential emissions [1]. Residential energy use accounts for ~20% of US annual carbon emissions [2].

The 2nd figure accounts for carbon footprint of electricity generation used in the home as well as gas combusted in the home. The 4th chart from [1] suggests this is about a 50/50 split (if we bring grid emissions to 0 but don’t exchange these natural gas devices, carbon intensity remains at half of what it is today). Therefore, we can conclude that these 4 appliances in residential properties account for 10% of US carbon footprint.

You could potentially make an argument that stoves are not the lions share of those emissions - but even if they only represent 10% of residential building emissions, that’s still 1% of US carbon emissions annually (which is a huge number when expressed in tons of CO2)

I built summarize.tech

Yes it's a great idea and I have a version that is basically a convolution over the transcript. It works much better than the current version - it can automatically create cohesive chapters and summaries of those chapters - however, it consumes an order of magnitude more ChatGPT API calls making it uneconomical (for now!)
I _rent_ a home, as do a full half of new york state residents. I'd love an electric stove. Every rental I've ever lived in has a gas stove and no fume hood.

The full half of new yorkers who rent - almost 20 million people - mostly get whatever theirlandlord picked. So when I read posts like this, decrying government overreach, I wonder if you've ever been poor? Have you ever lived here? Do you know what youre talking about at at all? Because the government has never been my problem. It's always a person a few rungs on the economic ladder above me. A boss, a landlord, making my life just a little worse in order to make theirs a little wealthier.
I was being hyperbolic. I didn't pay attention to the 87k news, since Fox News and Ted Cruz talked about it I assumed it was meaningless distraction.
I have never seen an actual fume hood in any residential home in my life (close to 800 homes across the South and New England. I have seen plenty of faux hoods that do absolutely nothing.

Maybe it's something they only add in luxury homes.
This should make new construction cheaper, no?

That's good if you want to see more housing built.
It didn't just seem to struggle. Some of the YouTubers covering SpaceX calculated the acceleration curves. It was substantially under max power, in part due to failed engines.
Sorry, that was sarcasm. You were replying to someone that thought people worked crappy jobs because of some other reason besides they literally can't get anything better. Kind of mind-blowing that someone could delude themselves to the point where they can believe folks work miserable jobs for any reason other than trying not to go broke.
When I was new to engineering management, I took over a project where one of the large components, a claims processing rules engine, was written entirely in SQL. Apparently, the previous manager had assigned that component to a DBA to build and by the time they found out, it was too late in the project to re-write.

Anyway... years later my scope had increased to include some mainframe teams working in COBOL. I have always been a big believer that you can't effectively lead a team if you can't do the job, so I dove in and learned COBOL. Now, I am not saying that COBOL and SQL are syntactically similar, but the experience of building in COBOL was very similar to building application logic in SQL. None of the abstractions we are used to, and no real concept of separation of concerns. It was fairly easy to build in, but an absolute nightmare to maintain.
The main problem is when you take your medical history and current medications on a tablet on intake and then ask the same questions once you get in the room.
As always, follow the money and give no heed to virtue signaling politicians who claim to care about climate change while living in multiple homes, flying around on private jets and rarely spending any time in nature.
This tutorial video is way too long... If only there was a tool to summarize it into text using AI....
Not to criticize your POV and argument directly, but, in the end, a lot of things, especially like these, are always easily subjected to the "we could do it, but just didn't bother to yet" kind of argument, and, when it comes down to the real work, things are much harder than they superficially appear to be. So yeah this isn't new... But... You know eheh
I remember back in the early 2000s I worked for a company that "rewarded" developers with a ride around the city in a stretch limo to end up at a company party at a bowling alley. Seriously, this was the company's high school mindset. I was glad to get out of there after a short time.
I want the government to always be balancing the good of society against my individual freedom. These people are saying "this limits my freedom" and ignoring the societal benefits. That's disingenuous. And you can tell it's disingenuous because the next thing they say is "we need government to ban books about gay people", or "we need government to ban abortion". I'm not saying your freedom shouldn't be a consideration, I'm saying it should be one consideration that is balanced against others.

Also see the most recent first SpaceX Starship launch attempt. Widely accepted current theories about likely failure mode root cause involve exactly this sort of thrust ground interaction kicking up debris.

I am a huge proponent of sending robots first, to build safer landing and launch structures, possibly also bases or better places to situate bases.
> Furthermore, simplified metrics frequently distort incentives. If graduation rates are the metric by which funding is determined, then a school might do whatever it takes to bolster them. Although some of these efforts might add value to students’ learning, it’s also possible to game the system in ways that are counterproductive to actual education.

I thought this part of the article particularly interesting. The problem is not just the access to data, but the obsession to optimize the numbers shown. The solution is to understand that:

whenever a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure

Which is known as Goodhart's Law [0]. The problem with transparency and any kind of data is that you should be very careful when choosing your metrics and targets, as statistics can be deceiving. Unfortunately, this is probably too complicated to institutionalize in large groups of people who might not get the point, so ultimately a balance has to be chosen between transparency and confidentiality.

In the case of medical records, I believe doctors should have the option to write two notes: One accessible to the patients and the other for medical staff, without the option of sharing it. I fear the consequences of their work being so transparent could ultimately lead to bad communication and in the worst case leading to the wrong treatment.

Revealing example of self-attention, the building block of transformer AI models
Google's response to Chesterton's Fence is: "if you liked it, then put a test on it".

I used to update the internal version of numpy for Google and if people asked me to rollback after I made my update (having fixed all the test failures I could detect), and they didn't have a test, well, that's their problem. The one situation where that rule wouldn't apply is if I somehow managed to break production and we needed to do an emergency rollback.

I shed a tear when some of my old, unused code was autodeleted at Google, but nowadays my attitude is: HEAD of your version control should only contain things which are absolutely necessary from a functional selection perspective.
Eh, no, all of these definitely actually happen in some places, but it would have to be a really shitty place for all of these things to happen in one visit.

Yeah, those bbq baskets advertised for grilling vegetables are sensational for charring Anaheims and Poblanos over a big gas burner. Bell peppers become a no brainer. No problem at all to do a much better job getting the skins off than those roller things out in front of the grocery stores in the fall. I can do about 8 at a time.

The rest of the responses, hoo boy, I think I live on a different planet.

Overselling my competence... amusing, because my view of my own skills is that after 40 years of building on what appears to in hindsight have been an extraordinarily well chosen set of parents I might just now begin to understand how the best kitchens work.

4.5 years for child abuse feels like a very short period of time. Multiply that by the volume and it feels laughable. Child pornography is not a victimless crime. These children were abused and the people who possess this material are party to it. How is 4.5 years "serious," considering the extent of the crime?
Any company at scale develops these other solutions to help scale. A company using Java and Spring does the same or C++ or whatever. Shopify seems to be unique at the largest (I think) Ruby/Rails shop, so they are leading the way developing a lot of these tools. I don't think that its significantly different than Google making Guava, Map Reduce, etc.

Probably not very many. Fun anecdote: When the Google Glass first came out I wanted to use it to record procedures so that we could create an annotated video dataset of medical procedures to see if we could match outcomes to actions. When I talked to medical professionals about it though they told me no Doctor would wear it for fear of malpractice lawsuits so it never really got off the ground. I guess you could go the opposite way and talk to the insurance companies about forcing surgeons to wear it but that didn’t sit well with me.
This box was interesting when first released, but Linux still is not in a usable state on it after six months.

If this could be a solid docker host, it would be a really interesting home server. It still cannot six months later and instead I am building a home K8s cluster with Dell Micro 3060s with i5-8500t CPUs. My per unit cost with 64GB RAM, 1TB NVME, and 2.5Gbe is under $310.

It keeps saying the phrase “model you can run locally”, but despite days of trying, I failed to compile any of the GitHub repos associated with these models.

None of the Python dependencies are strongly versioned, and “something” happened to the CUDA compatibility of one of them about a month ago. The original developers “got lucky” but now nobody else can compile this stuff.

After years of using only C# and Rust, both of which have sane package managers with semantic versioning, lock files, reproducible builds, and even SHA checksums the Python package ecosystem looks ridiculously immature and even childish.

Seriously, can anyone here build a docker image for running these models on CUDA? I think right now it’s borderline impossible, but I’d be happy to be corrected…
> You literally cannot respond with "you are holding it wrong" specially when I'm claiming that even for the popular _example prompts_ SD authors used they had to hand-pick the best random result over a sea of extremely shitty images.

I do a lot of my SD with a fixed seed and 1-image batches, once you know the specific model you are using getting decent pictures isn't hard, and zeroing in on a specific vision is easier with a fixed seed. Once I am happy with it, I might do multiple images without a fixed seed using the final prompt to see if I get something better

If you are using a web interface that only use the base SD models and don’t allow negative prompts, yes, its harder (negative prompts and in particular good, model specific, negative embeddings are an SD superpower.)
I'm reminded of a Peter Thiel quote that always makes me laugh, but then makes me sad:

"I did well enough in law school to be hired by a big New York law firm, but it turned out to be a very strange place. From the outside, everybody wanted to get in, and from the inside, everybody wanted to get out.

When I left the firm, after seven months and three days, my coworkers were surprised. One of them told me that he hadn't known it was possible to escape from Alcatraz. Now that might sound odd, because all you had to do to escape was walk through the front door and not come back. But people really did find it very hard to leave, because so much of their identity was wrapped up in having won the competitions to get there in the first place."
Nit: it's not a turboprop if it's no longer using a turbine.
I used to do archeaology on Google's monorepo (IE, looking far into the past of mapreduce, search engine, ads, and other products) and it wasn't really that hard. Heck, there was even a sythetic filesystem where you could just cd to a historical commit # and see a view of the repo at that timepoint (google's version control is based on an always-increasing globally shared commit numbers).
And was probably referencing recreational drug use, not over-prescribed drug use.
