I am not even remotely an expert, but many motorcycles I've seen that spent couple of years in the storage, let alone ones as old as that, need a lot of gaskets, seals, tubing and what-nots worked on or replaced - or at least examined/tested/cleaned. Plus you want to give a conservative estimate.

Also remember - if I am doing repairs for fun, I only count the parts cost.

But if I go to professional mechanic, it's $100/hr in labour. So $1000 might be $300 of parts and a day of labour to restore to safe operation an old motorcycle.

That is quite in line with the amount of work I've seen friends do to bring old bikes back on road (well... my friends would spend weeks and dozens of hours, but we're assuming mechanics are more efficient:)

You're right. I am definitely biased as a long time techie. There is one downside though in our own sector in comparison, we are ready to give our data the fastest and the environment we work in allows for it.

I have an friend who works at ARM, he said there's a mix of people who don't understand what's happening and people who are freaking out but have no power to respond.

I have no idea what market share changes have been but speculation based on what I've heard is that EspressIf is large enough that ARM has awareness of their presence but doesn't comprehend their threat. It sounds like it's going to play out like typical market disruptor where the titans will respond too slow and too late to stop them.
My understanding is that that only applies to programs that use mutex lock/unlock operations (which do have acquire/release semantics), but not to programs that use acq/rel memory operations in general. For example: https://www.hboehm.info/c++mm/sc_proof.html which contains the the SC proof for lock operations that you mention, but also a counterexample for acq/rel atomics.
They have to also fight against the public opinion of putting “local family businesses” out of work. Meanwhile these families are likely the wealthiest in their locale and have stepped on anyone in town that tried to stop them from keeping their capture.
Yeah, that was the wrong word. At the moment I’m skeptical of how much value it will have as far as confirming or refuting this article for the aforementioned reason.
Don't mind the other commentor, spirited discussion is always welcome! I was thinking about this and even hacker news is a good example of how an html view can differ from data model. Hacker news doesn't show you the vote count of every comment despite having that data available. They chose to not even render it into the template so no scraper will ever have access to that information.
I think the interface is actually quite nice!

When I need to analyze bisect results myself in such a situation, I usually just do it like

(cd src; patch < needed_patches && make && do_the_test; git reset --hard)

git bisect good (or bad or skip it patches failed to apply)

and repeat those from my command line history as needed. I think it works out fine.

Git bisect can also dig inside merges, which I think would be a bit more annoying with just a list of commits.
>> However, that leaves a lot of C code that you can't talk to anymore because the C code requires the old Python FFI. I think this is where the main problem lies.

This is exactly the problem, but people have a hard time grasping this because most people interacting with Python have no understanding of how C code interacts with Python, or don't understand the C module ecosystem. I'm not sure if the Python community has a good accounting of this either because I don't recall seeing much quantitative analysis of how many modules would need to be updated etc.

This would help compare with the Python 2 to 3 conversion efforts. Even then, the site listing (shaming?) popular modules with compatibility made a mid-to-late appearance in the process of killing Python 2. Quantification of module updates is obvious thing to have from the get-go for anyone looking to follow through on removing the GIL, but it's not a fun task.
Patents and software licenses probably.
I agree. I've been frustrated to see a lot of comments about people performing worse on medication. What they don't seem to account for is that, for me, the difference isn't between performing at 80% or 100% on a particular task, taking medication allows me to do things that otherwise I simply wouldn't be able to bring myself to do. Sure, my thinking might be a little bit less creative, but I'm also not dealing with the fact that actually starting any new task is literally impossible, I don't end up spending half the work day procrastinating, and I don't end up "working" 16 hours every day trying to get 8 hours of productivity out of myself.
I always got a chuckle out of the joke that StackOverflow devs must be the best devs because when StackOverflow goes down, they don't have StackOverflow to look at for answers, haha.
That depends a lot on the movie. Apocalypse Now is sort of an extreme example of this: large parts of the movie (including the ending) were completely rewritten during filming, some scenes were completely improvised, the lead was recast from Harvey Keitel to Martin Sheen after they did about a week of shooting, an entire massive on-location set was relocated after being built because the director wanted it to be right on the river (and the original set was also destroyed in a typhoon), another set which was destroyed in the same typhoon was used as-is because Coppola liked how it looked, and the helicopters they were renting from the Philippine military occasionally flew off set in the middle of a filming day to fight an ongoing insurgency elsewhere in the country.

They don't need to block it, people will block it themselves if you give them the information they need. Virtually nobody wants to overdose and die because they thought they were taking oxycodone but got fentanyl instead. These things happen because the user has no way of knowing what they were sold, and because of the ddrug war the only people left selling are the most ruthless.

I'd be curious how this stacks up on ANN-benchmarks (https://ann-benchmarks.com/).

FWIW exhaustive search is still probably good enough for most use cases. IMO the exhaustive search should use a heap https://github.com/fennel-ai/fann/blob/main/src/main.rs#L12 as you're only looking for top-k, it reduces time and memory complexity greatly. On a relatively unoptimized Golang implementation (though much beefier hardware) I get ~100ms to process 1M vectors of 300 dim. Still quite a bit slower than approximate, of course, but in absolute terms probably good enough for most use cases, especially because many use cases don't have 1M vectors.

>Sanitizing your inputs has been known about for literally almost half a century that should just be default for developers at this point.

Except if you're a "stupid programmer", in which such defaults are irrelevant to you. In such cases, one can only hope they're relying on tooling that sanitizes as much as possible for them.

> Renewables and storage are cheap enough that a 100% renewably powered world economy is possible. And they would be cheaper than nuclear in most places.

How do you know this? Other than for new designs, nuclear/coal/gas costs and performance are well understood in because we've done them for 50+ years.

> The objections to this now are mostly "but it hasn't been done yet", which is the last ditch stand of the passive-aggressive denialist (and hypocrite, if that person says nuclear could do it.)

This just seems to be ad hominem stuff. Claiming something that hasn't been done as fact is an obvious problem. Attacking the people who say it rather than what's said is, well. Ad hominem, as I say.

Who is this "many" you speak of? And why are you chiding the hype machine for not including Oracle in its acronym?

Put aside the online rags trying to grab eyeballs and look at investors. My RIA has been using Oracle in portfolios for decades: Oracle has been sitting quietly in my portfolio for over 25 years, just doing its thing being a solid stock and paying dividends. There are many other blue-chips out there that focus on providing a reliable product instead of being some sexy risky growth stock that grabs all the media attention.
What is/was stopping Reddit from doing this:

- Decide that you don't want third-party apps.

- Buy out all the big players (Apollo, etc.) and integrate some of their tooling into your own app/core.

I understand it would have cost a lot of money, but they could have found a middle-ground where everyone is happy. Instead, they're throwing a stupid tantrum that could end up costing them a lot more than it would have cost them to solve it the more traditional way.

Stinks like incompetence and lack of awareness to me.
Just sell the drugs from the government. Make it super lame, and medicalized. Cut off the funding for the glorification of drug use in art and music, and make it like the junkie DMV. Sell perfectly pure, precisely diluted, heroin/coke/whatever and then make the addicts stay in the room until they're presentable. Don't let them take needles etc out.

Anything else is a half measure that keeps all of the problems with the black markets and all of the social impact of addiction.
I really like reading international economics and politics from the 60s and 70s. You realize that a lot of non fiction gets recycled often, and the no-nonsense analysis they did back then gets watered down a lot with the current touchiness of talking about different cultures. There was a lot of bias back then too, to be sure... But comparing different biases is the best way to filter some of them out.
Yes and then they'll need a place to store new cars, on lots, and people, to facilitate the handover of keys and handle loans and so forth. back to square one
Big loss, I would google stuff like: "Why is there only one Negus in deep space 9?" and more often than not it was a Reddit thread someone submitted 8 years ago with in depth knowledge.

This is huge, hopefully more communities migrate away from Reddit. That platform got way too big for it's britches. Just don't move to Discord, Discord is terrible.

The major problem Reddit has and will always have is "power moderators". Losers with nothing else to do but become janitors and impose their will on very large forums. Imposing their politics, their culture, their sensibilities on 100+ subreddits.

I remember there was one site that had regular moderator elections and cycles baked into it's system. Whatever the solution is, it ain't Reddit.
this is so sad. i understand the protest, but it feels like burning books. is all that prior information gone? or is the protest temporary way to get the community migrated away but content will be restored for historical purposes?
> It becomes more art than engineering or science.

The opposite.

> All that comes down to the large variety of training everyone in the field gets, from university to youtube tutorials.

A big problem is that a lot of the youtube/bootcamp ecosystem focusses on "teaching what they do at the FAANG" to lure people into thinking they could get a job there by enrolling/buying whatever training they are selling. And then these people repeat what they have been told are "the best practices".

Proper engineering degree teaches about gathering requirement and analyzing the problem space to understand what really needs to be done.
The article makes it pretty clear that the villian is Yelp (and Google Reviews, and Trustpilot etc). It's no different than any other social media moral hazard: Yelp makes money in spite of their being fraudulent reviews, and won't make the investment in cleaning it up.

> Dean said [Yelp's] notices validate her work, but also perfectly exemplify what she calls Yelp’s “whack-a-mole” approach ... she showed SFGATE several sketchy posts that she hasn’t mentioned in her videos — and which are still up and active.

> “I find it annoying, like, ‘You need me?’” she said. “... They’re a billion-dollar tech company that’s got teams of engineers and a trust and safety team.”

> ... Yelp said its automated recommendation software checked the 21 million reviews submitted last year for “quality, reliability and user activity” and had filed 75% into the “recommended” category, which are the reviews that figure most prominently on businesses’ pages and affect their star ratings. Of the remaining 25%, just 4% were removed by Yelp’s own moderators, 2% were removed by the reviewers themselves, and 19% were categorized as “not recommended reviews” — which don’t affect companies’ star ratings but are still accessible on businesses’ Yelp pages.

> In Dean’s mind, it’s not enough. She feels Yelp should better use account data to proactively identify problematic users and ban them altogether, and speculates that Yelp might be avoiding a crackdown on fake reviews because the positive boosts to businesses’ ratings might increase Yelp’s value to those businesses.

Given that this kind of problem is rampant across social media (where the platform is incentivized to promote horrible things, as we've seen with Meta, Insta, etc etc), it probably should be criminal if we ever want to erase this scourge. As the article shows, _businesses can't opt out from Yelp_ -- which is a pretty horrible state of affairs.
I wonder if it's not that he's not smart enough, but that he doesn't enjoy it. Personally, I loathe developing on the web stack. I find it tedious and boring, and as a result, I do it poorly. Not because I'm not smart enough, but because I dislike it.

All that means is that sort of programming isn't for me. It doesn't mean I'm a terrible programmer.
Synthetic has different (but similar) effects. Synthetic might be cheaper than THC-8 or 9 for some buyers. I think it's plausible a good amount of users will prefer some synthetics in a blind test.

I've worked in education, and spend a good deal of time working with folks who are in dire straits.

The hard fact that a community where our 'median commenter' is above the median in the general population hates to realize is that roughly 1/3 or so of all people are just not remotely the type of person who can do the abstract meta-cognition to see they're being manipulated.

No amount of education will actually make them see something to abstract for them to grok.
What exactly is elegant about this algorithm? The approach seems computationally quite inefficient to me.

Any service that achieves a certain level of network effect will inevitably use that position against its users, knowing very few of them will change their behavior and abandon the network.

The biggest networks have become too big to be disrupted on a short enough time scale that execs worry about. I don't know if a Digg to Reddit type migration is possible anymore. But Reddit and Twitter are well into their phase where we know we don't like using them anymore. We've just established these patterns and no one serves them well anymore. It will take a decade for these services to really die, but the die is cast.

Between Twitter, Reddit, and now Uber it seems like the pretense of preserving a good user experience has suddenly been found to be unnecessary.

I agree. Wikipedia has the same problem, with possibly even larger impact.
At least Realtors only become involved when you want them to be involved. There is no regulation that requires real estate transactions be conducted through a Realtor.

Around here, a lot of properties get listed and sold by the local law office. Granted, they don't put in the same kind of marketing effort that Realtors generally do, but when the market is hot buyers will search high and low to find your property for sale anyway.

Unless the market is weak and one needs someone working 24/7 to find a buyer, going straight to a lawyer to sell a property/buy a property is a no-brainer. You are going to need one anyway.

People sell bootleg alcohol which may be adulterated with methanol, and it's usually bought on the basis of price. The majority of alcohol is bought from reputable, quality-controlled sources, such as bottle-shops, supermarkets, and bars.

Similarly with drugs: if they're available from reputable, accessible, legal sources, the number of consumers ready to buy from black-market sources will be significantly reduced.
