I welcome you to quote from the constitution that applies.

The case law uses the 14th amendment which also does not mention the word voting anywhere so again, strictly looking at the text of the constitution, states do not need to allow their citizens to vote on the president.

The case law is also strictly only focused on can you deny voting to some but never the question of to all.

Not with this attitude. That's like asking what kind of guitar to get to be taken seriously as a rockstar despite just recently learning how to play, not knowing very many artists or their works, and not knowing anyone who works in the industry.
I work remote for a startup.

I have a 15 minute walk to my kids' school - not a bad one either, a 30 second walk to the bus stop, a 3 minute walk to the grocery store, a 7 minute walk to the fancy grocery store near the hardware store. My religious group is a 2.5 mile drive/bike. We are approximately one hour from grandparents.

I have an old house with a small backyard and gardens, a neighborhood stuffed with kids and a community that values kids. In addition, I can save money.

Absolutely none of that is possible for my (quite decent) income in Seattle (closest tech hub).

To move me to a par Seattle house with par livability, par neighborhood, and par mortgage cost (but further away from grandparents), would be on the order of a +1M outlay - maybe +750K (but I haven't checked recently). (Wedgewood, Ravenna, or Magnolia neighborhoods, if you're curious).

In short: moving to a tech hub would be a radical downgrade to the quality of life.

As another posted:

> ... There is one side that is unambiguously pro-family, pro-environment, pro-church involvement, pro-bowling league, pro-parents in kids lives, pro-marriage, pro-divorced child raising. ...

concur.

I would also note, pointedly, that if you're a bigshot in a major tech company in a metro hub, you should be having very serious discussions with the city government about workforce housing for the > 30 set. It is actually possible to have a good metro life - if the city is designed for it.

If there’s a .app package, does that also mean there’s a signable + distributable app ready to go?

If so, good bye electron.
I’ve been exploring this lately because, honestly, the cloud is total overkill for small startups and hobby projects.

Kubernetes has its value even for small scale workloads like that, but it’s still a few steps more than, say, running a Capistrano script to push your code to a small Linux box with a database on a second one.

You’ll get really far on minimal resources these days, especially with cheaper ARM boxes that offer far more bang for your buck. Paying 1k+ a month to AWS/GCP/Azure is total insanity when you’re not even averaging a single active user a day.
How does it determine what is a tracking parameter? You can often pass a string along in the URL because you're trying to call a function or pass simple data between pages.

It seems like using multiple tokenizations simultaneously would help a lot. It also seems likely that we'll need at least an order of magnitude more processing power for it to be feasible. I think these are good things to be asking.

In 1850s London, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1854_Broad_Street_cholera_outb...

John Snow traced a cholera outbreak to contaminated water from a particular water pump, the Broad Street pump.

The pump handle was temporarily removed, which stopped people from drinking the contamined water, and so reduced illness.

But once the immediate crisis had passed, the pump handle was replaced:

> After the cholera epidemic had subsided, government officials replaced the Broad Street pump handle. They had responded only to the urgent threat posed to the population, and afterwards they rejected Snow's theory. To accept his proposal would have meant indirectly accepting the oral-faecal method of transmission of disease, which was too unpleasant for most of the public to contemplate.

It took another few years until there was agreement to build the London sewer system.
Usable PWAs on macOS is great news. At the same time, I can’t help think Apple’s sudden interest in making web apps more useful has to do with visionOS.

When iOS was brand new, they were talking up web apps because they needed the content. When the platform got established, Apple could tighten the screws and drive developers towards native apps by not supporting the latest web features.

Now that they have an upstart platform again, they’re once more interested in PWAs, WebXR and so forth — until the day comes that visionOS is established enough.

Of course this was always Microsoft’s playbook too, as we saw most egregiously with Internet Explorer 6 not receiving any updates after MS concluded they had won.

I'd argue that we absolutely could colonize the south pole if people were as excited about it as we are about colonizing Mars. I think it's less that we "can't" and more that governments don't really care about it as much.
Did a ‘nasty’ publishing scheme help an Indian dental school win high rankings?
Ok. But Index is made by Valve and you're using SteamVR. I've always had motion sickness issues with Valve. For whatever reason, Quest's rendering stack has always not made me motion sick. Even with Oculus Link which has what people consider "crazy" latencies, it's not which means that it's ASW and other last rendering corrections that are hiding better all the things that would cause motion sickness.
It's instructive that none of the solutions proposed for growing fresh food on Mars have been tried at either McMurdo (which is a huge and lavishly outfitted research base) or the South Pole.

This is part of what I think of as the Martian fallacy, the idea that stuff that's hard to do on Earth somehow becomes easier on Mars.
Or maybe it's a recover password link that you've been emailed, with an auth token.
(I'm not an expert on LLMs, this is just my guess)

No tokens is like no compression. It's much less efficient. My previous sentence is 12 tokens (24 bytes), or 58 characters (58 bytes). Your self attention block will be able to handle a much smaller effective context.

Also, especially in english, tokens by itself have quite a lot of semantic meaning by themselves, while characters are basically meaningless. So it probably needs extra work to piece those characters together vs operating on a token that already has meaning.
Yeah, all you need is to encrypt the URL (which includes tracking query parameters), and then the URL you give out is the encrypted blob.

When the web server gets a request, it can validate & decrypt, update any tracking values, and redirect to the real URL.
Sure but these chickens would be isolated from the outside world, like a lab setting, so how would they come in contact with something that could harm humans?

Ah yes, the AMP strategy.
Exactly what I was thinking, I've had false positives from uBlock thinking anything with /tracking/ in the URL was telemetry (when it could for instance be tracking of postal goods).

Unless they keep an up to date list of known tracking parameters I assume this will just become a cat and mouse game or advertisers will find other ways to obfuscate the tracking.
The nice thing about a standard like K8S is how there are other clients to choose from.

What would you do if you had the summer off as a technologist?

AI. I think we're getting to the point where we've seen just enough progress with contemporary AI systems, to think that the "knee of the curve" is close, and that within a few years "everything is going to change." I'm at a point with this to where I mostly think that working on anything other than AI is probably a waste of time.

Of course in my case AI has been one of my top interests for the last 30 years anyway, so this isn't some big swerve for me. But it motivates me to "lean in" to AI research as fully as I can, and to focus on AI applications, integration, etc.

OK, so saying "working on anything other than AI is probably a waste of time" may be a little bit of hyperbole, but I definitely see it being pretty damn important. That said, if I was going to carve out some time to study anything other than AI, for me it would probably be biochemistry, bioengineering, nanotechnology, or electronics / hardware stuff.

> It’s important indexes are added after a fair number of vectors have been persisted, which can make some production use cases challenging to implement.

managing indexes are the most challenging part of using pgvector right now. There is a bit of a "goldilocks zone" - you can't create the index with zero data, but if you create it too late then it can take a lot of memory. Andrew (and a few others, like AWS) are working hard on improving this, as well as researching other index types.

"Causes of disbarment may include: a felony involving moral turpitude, forgery, fraud, a history of dishonesty, consistent lack of attention to clients, alcoholism or drug abuse which affect the attorney's ability to practice"

This was definitely an attempt at forgery and fraud. It might not be something that can be prosecuted as a felony, but it's close enough that if I was a member of the bar I would want to draw a firm line.
Why do members of the same party often disagree? I think we get a bit too wrapped up on the "two parties" thing as if there are only two opinions as well.

I personally try to avoid canned drinks and foods to avoid metal poisoning. I typically buy two liter sodas in plastic bottles and avoid softer plastics. Styrofoam cups and other styrofoam food containers are awful. If you get hot food in a styrofoam go box, the box is often visibly marked by contact with hot food and you can smell it and taste it.

It's also potentially a reason to switch to an electric vehicle -- to avoid exposure to gas fumes while refueling your vehicle. (Or you can be "an extremist nutter" like me and give up your car entirely.)

I got into programming because I loved programming. Because I loved it I also knew which of the items in that list interested me. You're going to be doing this every day for 8+ hours a day - you better have some idea if what is interesting to you.

It sounds like you are really asking if there is a "get rick quick" scheme available in tech - and the answer is no.

I can't imagine doing it just for the money. If you aren't excited about programming at the start you'll have 10 years of pure hell.

All that said, since you can "get into faang" - just pick the faang job available to you with the highest salary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. You won't be independently wealthy after 10 years, but you'll be quite comfortable.

Oh... just stop with this low quality comment. They are focusing on a lot of topics and this is just one of them.
The objectives have changed.

Previously, large tech companies were interested in hoarding employees to slow competition.

Now, that is no longer a necessary strategy as the environment has changed and smaller startups have many other headwinds (difficult to raise $, etc).

So as the previous strategy is unwound there will be more pressure on employees and attrition is definitely part of the plan. A side benefit for the companies is less upward pressure of salaries and operational savings.

As a something of a k8s maximalist, I kind of disagree here. I think, especially for early stage and smaller teams, TF ends up being "closer to the metal" in the sense that there are fewer concepts and abstractions that need to be understood before an engineer can build a model of the resources they want, how they are grouped and how state reconciliation works. With k8s you're really just trading out crappy third party modules and providers for crappy operators and controllers.

I do think that as organizations grow, the ability for components to be defined in smaller units without being enmeshed in a big-ass tf dependency graph is a big draw of the controller model. The flipside is this comes with accepting the operational overhead of k8s plus the attendant controllers/operators you're running and hiring/staffing accordingly. There are ways you can structure your terraform that avoids creating the tight coupling some folks don't like where you have to literally define the entire universe to change a machine image. Not to mention, there do exist tools that allow you to inspect and visualize tf state.

Hi Shawn,

From yesterday's demo, it seemed to me that weave is a way to make easier the last few steps of aggregation/visualization, after you've done a bunch of your data joining and reshaping in pandas. (IIRC the starting point in the demo was a pandas dataframe.)

But, during a break in the conference, I was talking with a W&B employee (a weave user, but not a member of the weave team) who said he thinks weave will eventually replace pandas.

Is replacing pandas one of your goals for weave?
And Quantum Metrics is a good example of how to do it wrong - no easy way to export and/or migrate. Vendor lock-in sucks.

I worked at a similar company before. Management don't care about that at all. We had our fundamental stone quit due to getting married and moving abroad. They just found another heavily specialized engineer and made him an obscene offer. Didn't take long for him to be on top of the systems either.

The one thing that I am still in awe is that the new engineer had his PhD in chemistry, and never attended a CS class once, but was nevertheless a world class engineer and hacker. Miss working with him.

I don’t see the reasoning.

A startup that outgrows an EC2 server will be making enough money to hire more people to scale the system properly than what was initially designed: trading away everything for development velocity.

Kubernetes is not the right tool for this startup. Kubernetes is what large, old-school non-tech companies use to orchestrate resources, because it’s easier to find someone that “knows k8s” (no one knows k8s unless they’re consulting) than it is to find someone that can build properly distributed systems (in the eyes of whoever is in charge of hiring).
