Did you calculate the 9's complement of 4583 in your head? I see that 5416 has individual digits that line up with 4583 to each equal 9, but I'm not clear if this is a coincidence that happens to work for this number, or if this is the way to calculate an arbitrary N's complement value.

Men don't really compete due to a conscious desire to reproduce, though. It simply pleases men to have more power and more access to more women. The only reason is because they are descended from men who had power and access to women.

This seems to be a common misunderstanding of how natural selection works. Giraffes don't select other giraffes consciously because of their ability to reach higher leaves. They select them unconsciously simply because they are attracted to giraffes with longer necks. And they are attracted to giraffes with longer necks because they are descended from giraffes who were attracted to giraffes with longer necks and those giraffes were able to reach higher leaves and could slightly out-compete the other giraffes.

Floating point makes a ton of sense if you ever learned "scientific notation" by hand. As, it is basically that, but in binary. It isn't even gibberish.

And we use floats for much the same reason as you would use scientific notation. It is faster and, at large, "significant digits" don't go away just because you can write more digits.

Appeals to intuition are tough. Intuition is not some intrinsic property of the number system. It is a learned property. There is really no reason we couldn't be better at teaching it.

Architecture of an Early Stage SaaS
As a solo founder, I wrote about design principles, tradeoffs and tricks used to build the launch architecture of a SAAS.

Some topics discussed:

- How to design a low-maintenance architecture?

- Which cost-effective providers to use?

- How to deploy to production with ease?

- How to manage a monorepo with all service systems and components?

Any suggestion or advice is appreciated.

Verneuil https://github.com/backtrace-labs/verneuil might work for you. Its replication client can use a persistent chunk cache (no fsync, so doesn't survive reboots), and there's a CLI utility to reconstitute a sqlite db file (`verneuilctl restore`). It also tries to do the right thing by writing to a temporary file before renaming it over the old db file.

On the write-side, you can load the verneuil VFS as a runtime extension. There's a similar gotcha with reboots, where the replication state is persisted but not fsync-ed, so you get a full refresh on reboots. The S3 storage is content addressed though, so you "only" pay for useless bandwidth and API calls, not storage.

I agree with this, and I think it's analogous to the 2021 Catholic Grindr tracking saga [0].

It would be difficult to keep this type of data safe (in the sense of not allowing someone to use it to exploit a private person) without all the exigencies of "running a business" in 2023. Once you add those considerations, it seems impossible.

Even if GP is correct and companies all anonymize the data before analysis (which I absolutely do not believe), I am still concerned with:

1) Sale to outside parties including government,
2) Rogue employee with a grudge or a side business,
3) Data breach,
4) Internal policy change (juice revenue with DTC marketing?)

Historically, women have been barred from pursuing education, from voting, from making their own medical decisions, from holding political/academic/religious/scientific positions of power, from controlling their own finances, and from participating in the majority of careers, among many many other examples. Lack of access to these things necessarily constrains one’s autonomy. And some of these restrictions persist even today, to varying degrees in different parts of the world.

I would hardly call disabling a security feature in the settings or getting an authorization key from the vendor hacking into your own phone. These are features that allow users who (think they) know what they are doing do what they want to do. It is intentional and people can figure out the consequences by doing some research. That is in start contrast to finding an undocumented hole in security.

<< For most things in life where we could impact the lives of other people materially - driving is a good example - we ensure some minimal amount of training before letting people perform that activity.

The issue is that in US driving license is trivial to get and it shows on the roads ( queue explanations that it is just the function of car being a necessity -- true, but irrelevant too the point ). Even if instituted, I don't think people would accept that kind of infringement though I admit this is probably one place, where we should be able to self-regulate ( we clearly can't though and some systems are built for ever increasing population, which is a separate force that would prevent that kind of change ).

In short, I agree. I don't think we are doing it well now.
Excluding parental controlls from 'security' feels like more of an idealogical stance than a practical one.

I can see the argument based on Free Software principles. But I don't see anything else.
There are so many cases of devices that are facing a user but not owned by the user which very much do fall under 'security'. Public terminals are a big one, devices handed out to employees in certain cases are another, and esoterica cases like prisoners also exist.
Those should very much count as security, if only because 'when something breaks dangerous things can happen'. Then excluding parental controls because 'censorship bad' doesn't make much sense, since parental controls and other device lockdowns are often implemented with the exact same methods.

There are plenty of eviler things like a locked-down secure-boot and TPM grounded DRM that definitely fall under security, that I don't think it makes sense to gatekeep the term.

Heck, security as a term is so often used oppresively, that it makes little sense to gatekeep it anyway.
I would posit most things in a file system are better represented by graphs. A file type would have a program to run with, a program to edit with, maybe also referencing files in relatively placed directories/locations, and potentially pointed to by a crown job or other automation routines…

Trees and hierarchical layouts do make sense for some things, but as soon as you start symlinking, a proper graph works better - though I imagine computationally harder (a sacrifice I’m willing to make on most desktop machines tbh).

Your notion of sticking everything in a single space and using tags, searches, and filters is something I’ve wanted to explore for a while. Afaik it’s unexplored space, unless others could point me to some awesome tools or processes?

> I may change (or not) the default font

Please do. Computer Modern is awful; its optical sizing is all wrong, far too thin and with too much stroke thickness variation. On some common system and rendering configurations, it’s genuinely not far off illegible at common sizes. Its shapes were designed for printers that (a) had much higher resolution than most screens do, and (b) exhibited at least a moderate degree of glyph dilation (e.g. ink bleed). These days, it’s OK in print (still too thin, since printers are more precise in this way than they used to, which essentially makes everything a bit thinner than it used to be; but not too troublesomely), but really bad on screen for many renderers.

Vaguely similar story on Courier New, which was badly digitised in a way that made it far thinner than it should be (due to not taking into account extra weight added by the typewriter’s ink ribbon), and so Windows includes all kinds of hacks to make it somewhat less intolerable (radical changes in hinting, and special-casing in ClearType), but half of those hacks don’t work any more (or work inconsistently) due to how things are done these days.

Before anyone jumps on me saying they love Computer Modern and it looks fine to them: I’m focusing on the objective parts. On some screens with some software, it looks tolerable, despite clearly not matching most fonts’ ideas of what a regular weight should be. But on more configurations, it’s dreadful. I’m not talking about the rigid shapes and weird curly bits and such, which I also incidentally dislike, because that’s more subjective. But the weight stuff and the extreme stroke thickness variation stuff, that’s objective.

I think it’s the same phenomenon of people skipping the article and going straight to the comments where they make statements based on the headline and their own existing contexts.

By the time they learn the content, if they ever do, they dig in and try to defend their positions.

I think this is caused by the incentive is for karma/whuffie/whatever rather than actual knowledge and benefit to fellow man. So macro is that the first to comment gets the most points. And everything else is downstream results.

So people assume the doc is about bad people doing bad things and talk like that. It doesn’t help that it also falls into the complex zone of “Hitler loved dogs” where people who truly are jerks also are into redpill stuff, but likely a very small percent of the total number. So it’s easy to make reductive comments of “this jerk is into redpill let’s talk about him and get more clicks and ignore the thousands of men blowing their brains out [0]”

The scale of record keeping in a place like JP Morgan is enormous. Just payments transactions are about $10 trillion a day.

This is where the philosophy of science becomes more useful to know. Some people might get caught up in trying to understand what something looks like at these small scales.

But then you recall that everything is actually invisible to humans at these scales, and we are trying to create representations of the truth that will always be just a grasp out of our hands, especially when we want to simplify it to a level of abstraction that our minds can comprehend.

This class of startup, "build domain specific LLMS using your own data", is extremely crowded right now but I am not optimistic about their future. For large companies, the actual modeling work for this is already easy for any ML team, thanks to existing FOSS work on stuff like PEFT and LoRA. The hard part is figuring out what data goes into the fine tuning process and how to get this data in a usable form, but this is very business specific and can't be automated in a SaaS process.

For SMBs, the value would be in using the LLM to generate responses to customer Q&A/search queries. But these companies aren't going to integrate some external third party service, they'll only use it if it's already baked into their CMS - Wordpress/Shopify/Wix/etc. I just don't see who the final consumer for this product would be.
+1 for MLton. The lead maintainer was my compilers professor in university and he's a dedicated man who _loves_ what he does.
