Even if your philosophical foundation is not western liberalism (which is derived from Christianity), you can appreciate that many western people view all people as having inherent dignity…

Being a person gives you value which cannot be take away.

It’s a philosophy, so one may reject it, but a lot of people separate their personness from their work because of the idea that each person is valuable in their own right.

My understanding of bomber height was 1) fighters and ground cannons cannot attack them directly, and 2) SAM missiles have to climb to meet them while matching velocity, and the bomber can shed altitude to increase ground velocity and outpace the missile long enough that it runs out of fuel.

That puts a big gap between top cruising speed and top speed.
Bash does more work for non C locales. Dash does not. You can configure bash without locale support when compiling it, or just set the locale to C to get a more apples-to-apples comparison.

No one claimed that sanctions alone will stop the war.

And ALL of the russians are under sanctions since 2014 btw. and that clearly did not prevented the big war, or made Putin less powerful. So if anything, this refutes that sanctions against a whole population are helping.
Yes, this is how money is made in finance.

Outside of the major market makers, every financial firm is desperately trying to flee anything with any semblance of public liquidity because they can't beat the market makers & John Q Public without insider trading.

Private tech firms are a great way to flee liquidity.

A super personal anecdote: my dad took my mom to see Alien on a date and realized that because she could sit through that - she was the one.
They were married soon after.

Sci Fi horror is pretty close to the polar opposite of my mom’s comfort zone, so I guess watching Alien was a test.

I'm reminded from one of my favorite quotes from Margin Call, one of my favorite movies. He's talking about the big Goldman-esque firm they work for, but it applies here too.

"I've been at this company for 10 years, and I've seen things you wouldn't believe. When all is said and done, they do not lose money. They don't mind if everybody else does, but they don't lose."
hey hn, supabase engineer here

I just added a PR to the great retrieval plugin template repo from OpenAI to add Datastore options for Supabase and Postgres. This is an implementation of Datastore interface using Postgres database and 2 different interfaces: PostgREST for using with the ability to hook everything with your existing app and RLS policies, or just a plain database connection. They are completely swappable, the only thing you need to change is a couple of environment variables to switch from Postgres to Supabase and vice versa.

You will find an example of a plugin with full PostgresDB documentation embedded into postgres database in the post. And i will be happy to answer your questions here :)

Once upon a time (25+ years ago) I used to maintain an Oracle database that had around 50M records in its main table and 2M records in a related table. There were a dozen or so dimension (lookup) tables.

Each day, we would receive on the order of 100K records that had to be normalized and loaded into database. I am simplifying this a lot, but that was the gist of the process.

Our first design was a PL/SQL program that looped through the 100K records that would be loaded into a staging table from a flat file, performing the normalization and inserts into the destination tables. Given the size of our large tables, indices and the overhead of the inserts, we never could finish the batch process in the night that was reserved for the records intake.

We finally rewrote the entire thing using SQL, parallel table scans, staging tables and disabling and rebuilding the indexes and got the entire end-to-end intake process to finish in 45 minutes.

Set theory is your friend and SQL is great for that.
Modern DB engines can enforce Unique or PK constraints without indexes. Yes, they perform scans.

>Fuligo septica is a species of slime mold, and a member of the class Myxomycetes. It is commonly known as the scrambled egg slime, or flowers of tan[2] because of its peculiar yellowish, bile-colored appearance. Also known as the dog vomit slime mold, it is common with a worldwide distribution, and it is often found on bark mulch in urban areas after heavy rain or excessive watering. Their spores are produced on or in aerial sporangia and are spread by wind.

Climate change has to main components, temperature and CO2, which are related by the relationship burning fossil fuels creates CO2 which increases the world's average temperature. This much has been known for over one hundred years.

Over the past five years though the situation has radically changed in the financial sense. That is, the cost of wind and solar energy (and HVDC transmission) has dropped precipitously and in response the amount new installations has been going by 30 to 50 percent a year.

Most large projects are now being bid at between one and two cents a kilowatt hour! To clarify, that means that the company that bids on these projects commit to selling the power produced at a rate of 1 to 2 cents a kWh, for solar, for TWENTY YEARS. And it's about 4 to 5 cents per kWh for new wind projects. And the winning bidder expects to make a profit at these rates.

Today the consumer is paying between 10 to 50 cents per kWh depending on country etc. The stunning consequence of this is that green power is already way cheaper than power produced by fossil fuels, and it's only going to get better. In fact it's so cheap that in some jurisdictions it's cheaper to mothball a perfectly fine coal burning generator and switch over the green energy. This is already happening.

In essence then the war on climate change has already been won for all intents and purposes. Even five years ago this was not the case. There is still the tricky problem of being able to deploy enough green energy quickly enough to squeeze through the eye of the climate needle. But it's now longer how but when. Sometimes technology can run you over from the back while you're looking ahead.

Most of the books are meant to be consumed in parts. This book explicitly mentions "Segue from previous chapter" for most chapters indicating what key concepts are continued in exploring/building new ones. Also, I believe any reader on HN can make sense quickly of the basic definitions needed to understand a concept in isolation.

However, mathematics is especially known to require continuous dedication for years to attain any sort of mastery.
Kids, cherry-picking students of other disciplines, those who really understand what is a good read.

I was no fan of that subreddit but I popped in from time to time and they were ridiculously stringent about adhering to Reddit's rules.

Also, it wasn't long after that many, many, many subreddits had far worse calls for violence against law enforcement and none of them got banned for it.
I agree, you don't want performance to suddenly degrade and then you have to find out why. This can be especially bad when this happens with many tables that should have indexes, and performance is sluggish, but not for any specific action.

Add indexes appropriately is a best practice.
I'll do you one better, and explain it in Ryan Dahl's words [0]. Getting away from NPM, node_modules, and package.json was one of a very small number of founding principles for Deno as he introduced it:

> Linking to a package requires a lot of components, a lot of systems. The problem that I have with [package.json] is that it gives rise to this concept of a module as this directory of files, where that wasn't really a concept before, where we just had JavaScript files. ... It's not a strictly necessary abstraction. And package.json has all this unnecessary noise in it.

> ...

> [In] Deno I want to simplify the module system, so screw all this stuff about how Node modules work... it can't be compatible with Node, otherwise you end up building Node, so there's no attempt at compatibility with existing software.

Just get older. At least for me, I reached a certain point where I just didn’t care anymore. That is, I care about my work, but I don’t care what people think of me. Maybe it is just old man cynicism setting in.
The science being made-up isn't a feature of every credible definition of what sci-fi is. Some would perhaps admit Melancholia, others would definitely not. IMO the stronger argument for its falling outside sci-fi is that the scientific elements are basically all metaphorical—it's not actually about what would happen under those circumstances. The other planet and the impending, unavoidable doom are all externalizations of internal states of mind, and manifestations of a shared and very real and certain doom we all face. It's depression's weight realized, given physical form where all can see it.

[EDIT] I mean, then again, that's almost as true of Annihilation... which is why it's hard to nail these things down with certainty.
Now I'm curious about my Volvo. I do most of my freeway driving with the adaptive cruise control adjusting my speed to match the flow of traffic. I have no idea if my brake lights are triggering when the ACC slows my vehicle due to a slower car in front of me. I certainly am not touching the brake, unless I need to stop more quickly.

Given Volvo's reputation for safety, I'm assuming they got it right but that is purely assumption on my part.
Doesn't seem like it to me and it skews very non-technical, but I can vouch for some of the sources they link - Sasha Rush's Annotated Transformer is great

If I were to give a critique, it seems too skewed towards things business/product people would find interesting that aren't actually all that impactful (Tesla's self-driving, for instance) and also seems skewed to things I see in certain SF twitter bubbles.

Directly linking lesswrong posts also seems a bit... cringe-y for a VC.

There are two different problems.

One is educating drivers to be better. Drive more predictably, drive more defensively, drive safer in adverse conditions, etc.

The other is designing the driving experience as a system to deal with humans. Systems that don't anticipate human faults are brittle and, frankly, shitty. Just like you can't expect 100% of users to be phish resistant, you can _not_ expect perfection from drivers, and you _must_ build in compensations to deal with it. That means well designed roads, good brakes lights, and even brake lights that account for one-pedal driving.

Those people that tell you they can eat anything and not put on weight have a very different idea of what "anything" is than fat people, with probably an actual exception here and there (along with teenagers).

Far from being "everything" anyone would want or need, it's rather "some (fundamental) things" you must know. A couple of pages a day, on average, would get you there within one year.
It may be statistically significant improvement but I doubt that most rational, informed patients would consent to an experimental genetic therapy that reduced the likelihood of a flu-like illness by as little as 2.2% within a year.

I would be especially curious to know:

-if this was extrapolated, do the cohorts' infection rates eventually meet

-extrapolating further, would the boosted cohort rate even exceed the control, especially as natural immunity increases more quickly in the control

-the rate and seriousness of vaccine side-effects within the boosted cohort

-the cumulative rate and seriousness of vaccine side-effects with annual boosters

-serious injury and mortality from the vaccine in the boosted group vs serious injury and mortality from the disease in the control group
Have you tried the sous vide mode? That seems novel.
Government is not able to fix the peoples' problems. Entrenched poverty and homelessness has been a problem in New York [3] and California for decades, but even though the same party has been in power for similar decades -- New York has been under single-party control since 1975 [1] and California since 1959 [2] -- the problems remain. There is no motivation to solve the peoples' problems, only "lectures pointed at the naive" around election time.

Build AI or just invest in chip makers?

https://a16z.com/2023/01/19/who-owns-the-generative-ai-platf...

Over the last year, we’ve met with dozens of startup founders and operators in large companies who deal directly with generative AI. We’ve observed that infrastructure vendors are likely the biggest winners in this market so far, capturing the majority of dollars flowing through the stack. Application companies are growing topline revenues very quickly but often struggle with retention, product differentiation, and gross margins. And most model providers, though responsible for the very existence of this market, haven’t yet achieved large commercial scale.

In other words, the companies creating the most value — i.e. training generative AI models and applying them in new apps — haven’t captured most of it
