I'm curious to see people's lists of possible "up and coming" or "near future" additions to this list. Off the top of my head:

- Self driving cars, probably attributed to Sebastian Thrun. ~1.4 million people die in automobile accidents each year.

- Malaria vaccines, perhaps attributed to Bill Gates, although I'd rather know the actual key scientists involved. 600k deaths/year.

- ... Maybe something about solar power, assuming it eventually grows to replace most hydrocarbons for power generation.

- ... Maybe the developers of CRISPR, if the modern genomics bubble leads to widespread medical advances.
Koch – a simple Chef zero replacement
Koch is a simple replacement for Chef zero. You can use it to configure single hosts. It has no network functionality.

The file to define how a machine should look like is pure Ruby, Koch just provides convenience functions.
Last time I was in Dubai, Telegram was blocked and I needed to setup a proxy to get access. So it is ironic that they are headquartered there. Maybe it is not blocked there now, I do not know.

That is why stuff like m4 gets born.
I don't think its possible for any platform that allows for arbitrary code execution to be completely safe. The exploits of today are far more sophisticated than they needed to be 20 years ago, but they still exists and are harder to find and fix.
And Stripe can shut it down then respond with "we can only discuss this with a Director of the company. Let us know when you have one and are legally able to be in business."
This has to also apply to PMs/ICs as well at some level right? You can just have one core role in your organization have no personal growth for 2-3 years and other core roles keep progressing. Most of the time you have a cross functional team for a lot of launches and only have few members get promoted for them seems like a non-starter.

That's an interesting article, they bring up some good points. At the very least biodiesel, as a fuel additive, can be 'good' for some engines. Not sure on macro considerations, am eager to learn more.
to be honest I sometimes doubt there's a longterm relevance for biofuels given the coupling to ICEs
The answer is mostly the same as for PostgreSQL, since Citus stores data in regular PostgreSQL tables.

It's a good idea to set up archival into blob storage / S3 using a tool like WAL-G for disaster recovery purposes, and streaming replication using a tool like Patroni.

(Or use a managed service like Azure Cosmos DB for PostgreSQL)

If a node is down and cannot be quickly recovered then the remaining shards are still available for reads and writes, except for DDLs.
There are a lot of these sorts of tools, here is another one called myrepos, the site also links to a whole bunch of other such tools.

The number of megawatts doesn't really matter - what matters is the cost per megawatt.

If it is cost competitive, then millions of these sites can be installed to get as much power as needed.
OSI has done a poor job in their mission because they’ve failed to define the spectrum of projects between “personal definition or open source” and “fully closed source”. And now everyone is using the term open source in a manner they did not sanction. Because their definition is not particularly relevant.

Probably around the 3 months, maybe 6 months. It's also not just about time. Smarter people than me would have to answer, but the general principle, following the spirit of employment law, seems rather obvious.

Imagine I started a warming-up business, where you could sign a short contract for warm french fries and warm cooked meat. But I'd insist it's not a restaurant, so that any hygene rules do not apply to me.

>I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races since the furin cleave docking site is most compatible with Blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews.

Reading that quote from RFK I cannot take the NYT headline seriously at all, such a far cry from "bigoted conspiracy theory".
Great beer though. That and the Guayabera.
I thought spin down had something to do with pseudo-angular momentum of, like, electrons, but after Googling I see it definitely means spin down as the opposite of, like, spinning up an engine or a Docker container. Which is exactly what you said. Which is exactly why I didn’t try to guess what these things meant, because I had no idea. :)
Can someone, anyone, explain to me how this passes SOX scrutiny?

I have issues with business/product team even commenting on PRs because auditors have said that access to GitHub=Access to Codebase.

Geothermal wells often cool down and become ineffectual with time.

A starting temperature of just 180C doesn't sound very promising either. Normally the higher the temperature the more energy you can extract and the faster you can extract it with a given amount of water/turbines/pipes.
Many people think Tesla will do better than most other car manufacturers.
turning up the temperature, you get multiple entries of 'the power of positive drinking' in the tracklist.. it's hilarious.
Maybe because the shares are controlled by the majority shareholder and the other shareholders want some protection against that shareholder? This is why we have an SEC.

Plane tickets are going into that direction, though no direct differentiation between people for now.

But routes/connections/timings indicating for example business travel will induce higher price than the same seat sold as part of flight indicating client more influenced by cost of flight.

And price differs between various places even in case buying the same seat for the same flight. For example you can effectively pay to skip deliberately annoying parts.
Well, it’s surprisingly effective at preventing things like scams and phishing, and also guarantees a paper trail.

That distinction hamstrings hundreds of otherwise valid conversations on the topic.
Decades and decades of people touting the supposed evils of fiat money, and I've yet to hear a single convincing, pragmatic argument for why it is worse than any of the alternatives.

We've had the gold standard in the past. During that time, the economy went up and down, just like in the era of fiat. The same is true for countries that backed their currency with foreign reserves. So why is "backing the dollar" such a worthy goal in the eyes of so many people? What real-world problem would that solve?

Swift itself still doesn’t self host and is approaching a version 6 release. I’m not a compiler developer but the outcome of all the discussions around this topic in the Swift community was that it wasn’t worthwhile yet.
I think it's all about incentives. If you want fewer managers in your organization you disincentivize the manager position. Even more, if you're a manager and see all of the PMs/ICs get promoted.

I use a wall street canyon NUC to run proxmox (hypervisor), portainer (docker management), pteradactyl (game server hosting panel), pihole (moving off the big point of failure soon :) ), and a handful of random things here or there.

It's been great so far, fans aren't too loud, power consumption isn't killer and there's ton of headroom still, assuming no modded minecraft server taking my ram.
How are people pronouncing NUC? Like “nuck” (rhymes with “Zuck”) or “nuke” (rhymes with “puke”)?
As a little kid growing up in Miami, I had to learn that jai alai wasn't well-known elsewhere in the US. I remember watching the ads for it on TV, though (like dog racing) I was too young to go.

For me, I thought the large school lockers I saw on TV were pretty exotic. Why were they large enough that someone could hide in them? Ours were about backpack sized.

My Mom explained that's where people put their winter clothes, which also explained why the lockers were always inside enclosed hallways. I was used to having hallways with one side open, to allow a breeze.

To show you what I mean, here's my elementary school, https://www.google.com/maps/@25.7538402,-80.2581714,3a,27.4y... . They didn't install A/C until I was in 4th grade. The entire classroom wall facing the hallway was a bank of doors that could open up to allow a cross-breeze, with a wall of windows on the other side.

For that matter, snow was pretty exotic too. ;) When I went up north to Tallahassee for college, us S. Florida people were so excited when the temperature got to freezing. We stayed up late to see if the water we left out would freeze.

> No, we haven't made GPT-4 dumber. Quite the opposite: we make each new version smarter than the previous one.
> Current hypothesis: When you use it more heavily, you start noticing issues you didn't see before.

I don’t see how it supports your argument. Your comment says “they deny making changes to GPT-4”, and the tweet says “we are making incremental improvements to GPT-4”.
With those GPT4 architecture infos leaked a few weeks ago, my personal theory is that they use mixture-of-experts routing for scaling the system. For instance, they could say: from 0 to 50% system load use a mixture of top-6 models for inference, from 60 to 80% use top-4 models, above 80% use top-2 models. This could make ChatGPT look dumber or smarter depending on the time of the day and system usage. Naturally, the variance of inference quality would spread and people would experience regressions in quality with some probability.

They could also use these parameters over time to become more cost efficient, in general, or reserve GPUs (i.e. allocating more expert networks) for some higher-margin use-cases.
Have to say my experience with Intel and ASUS lately has just been one of shoddiness/instability- 12900ks + z690 desktop build has been pretty unstable just trying to enable the advertised features in the bios (xmp for instance). So I wish them better luck this time..

The Intel creates a lot more heat though. If the noise/performances ratio is important or if energy consumption is something you care about, the Intel solution doesn’t seem that interesting.
Ultralight really doesn't matter these days with e-bikes. There's no superlightweight revolution that will make the bicycle more accessible to the general public. The e-bike did that.

The UCI limit kills this for use in racing. It's not a tri/TT bike so triathlons (no UCI limit) doesn't want it. It's far too expensive, carbon components in easily worn places like the cogs and crank.

And a fixed saddle height? 187 lb limit (and with bike weight limits, don't push it because who knows what wattage + weight combos they actually tested with, IF they did testing.

A novelty. Would be interesting a decade ago, but even recreational bikers are getting assist motors, which are far more effective.
It was the saving grace, but I am not sure if that's the case now as the situation deteriorates. If I am already having the big tech insurance and I am gonna to fly to Mexico/India for some of the items anyway, why do I need it?

The politicians simply DO NOT care. They just let oligarchs keep eating the small palayers, and it will totally break the health system some day just like how they killed 3rd party internet providers. Telus is already making the play in the health sector.
I have a cheap Vivobook laptop, it's fine. At least it looks more robust than the cheap Lenovo I had before... Obviously none of them are as robust as my old 2012 DELL which I dropped many times on the floor without even scratching it or damaging the screen. But the latter is also way heavier and its performances just can't match a Ryzen 5.

What a fascinating thread. Here's an interesting sentence from a comment there:

“To move from a manager title to a director role, a person had to have hired managers under them from outside the company. To move up the director ranks, a person needed to have managed their own team of directors.”

That is absolutely crazy town. That’s like multi-level marketing, where your primary value is recruiting folks (that recruit folks).
I think they’re playing ball, otherwise Telegram would have been declared a “foreign agent” like any other free press
If every city has an app, you also lower the trust of the drivers because you don't have a way to know if the passengers are behaving well (good reviews) or not.

I forgot to add that one.

> Companies are legally entities but not that much psychologically.

This is my own statement that I can’t edit. I understand that many people think otherwise depending on the context. I do also. In this particular context of “insider threat” (i.e. employee leaks), I still believe the main cause isn’t to “harm a company”.
Swift++, or Swifttt.
Languages built on the BEAM VM like Erlang and Elixir support concurrency at the runtime level, though it's up to you to specify when you want to run something in parallel. Or am I missing why they don't fulfill your requirements?

I'm not sure if it's desirable to parallelize code automatically, as in many cases you do need at least _some_ parts of the code to run synchronously. But it's an interesting thought experiment to have parallelism be the default instead of opt-in.
This would be a carbon free option for places where the wind doesn’t blow reliably, the sun doesn’t shine enough, and either doesn’t need the scale of a nuclear reactor or needs a solution quicker than the long lead times for nuclear plants.
Abstractly, it seems quite reasonable — whatever gets measured gets optimized, and for years Big Tech has measured headcount as a metric of manager skill. Eliminating that metric directly tackles the problem of empire-building.

On the other hand, it's already difficult to retain talent, and a single good manager can be transformational for a team. Between this and the RTO shenanigans — both of which seem to be widespread across the tech industry these days — it's tough to see why talented managers would stay, let alone put in hard work.

Overall, it feels like an incomplete solution. If we as an industry are going to move away from headcount as a professional growth metric, we need to have some other, more direct way of measuring the business impact a manager delivers so we can reward that.

Standing up and telling a roomful of high-leverage hires that their career trajectories are frozen for 2-3 years is probably not a winning strategy by itself. If I were a hungry startup founder, I'd read this as an invitation to ramp up recruiting.

I built a SaaS that snapshot monitored GraphQL APIs, before anyone really used GraphQL in production.

Ideally, you'd craft a maximal query that used as many nodes as possible, and it'd check every hour or so that the snapshot hadn't changed (I worked for a small company that couldn't keep their API stable, so I built a tool to alert me as a frontend dev)

It turned out we were the only shop in Sydney with that problem (I actually went in to real startups and asked how they were testing their GraphQL servers), so I ended up shutting the project down after only having one customer for a year.

A few years later, I rewrote it from scratch and made it a website/API/scheduled task monitoring service (https://onlineornot.com), and it might just employ me one day.
Bookmarks are long-term useful things to keep saved, and don't serve the same purpose as these open tabs.

As for history, imagine you're researching a topic and have gone through fifteen search results, decided three of them were relevant, and closed the others. Your history is polluted with all fifteen, whereas this tab search will directly return you these most relevant pages only.
And even the lecturers acquiesced when they found that a lecture on the sea was none the less stimulating when compiled out of other lectures that had already been delivered on the same subject. “Beware of first-hand ideas!” exclaimed one of the most advanced of them. “First-hand ideas do not really exist. They are but the physical impressions produced by love and fear, and on this gross foundation who could erect a philosophy? Let your ideas be second-hand, and if possible tenth-hand, for then they will be far removed from that disturbing element — direct observation. Do not learn anything about this subject of mine — the French Revolution. Learn instead what I think
that Enicharmon thought Urizen thought Gutch thought Ho-Yung thought Chi-Bo-Sing thought Lafcadio Hearn thought Carlyle thought Mirabeau said about the French Revolution. Through the medium of these ten great minds, the blood that was shed at Paris and the windows that were broken at Versailles will be clarified to an idea which you may employ most profitably in your daily lives. But be sure that the intermediates are many and varied, for in history one authority exists to counteract another. Urizen must counteract the scepticism of Ho-Yung and Enicharmon, I must myself counteract the impetuosity of Gutch. You who listen to me are in a better position to judge about the French Revolution than I am. Your descendants will be even in a better position than you, for they will learn what you think I think, and yet another intermediate will be added to the chain. And in time” — his voice rose — “there will come a generation that had got beyond facts, beyond impressions, a generation absolutely colourless, a generation ‘seraphically free From taint of personality,’ which will see the French Revolution not as it happened, nor as they would like it to have happened, but as it would have happened, had it taken place in the days of the Machine.”

E M Forster, "The Machine Stops", 1909
Another thought I had is to replace statistics requirements with a rigorous (but not measure-theoretic) probability class or, preferably a semester of both. My engineering program required probability, not statistics, so I never took a formal stats class. However, my probability class was excellent. If I need to figure out a statistical method now, I might not know what method or <letter>-test to use, but I google a description of the problem and am greeted with stats websites and papers that solve various cases of the problem that are totally understandable using undergrad probability.

The intuition for doing so is that, as this article argues, the hard part is in determining the right probability model describing your experiment. Once you have a good model, running the statistical test is easy (whether there’s a tractable algorithm is another question, but if there’s no tractable way to estimate your parameters, I’d argue as a practitioner a model being too difficult computationally is a good heuristic for your experiment not being robust)
