I learned these skills more thoroughly in a week of fast food training than in sixteen years of public and private schooling. If these are important context for education, you'd think we would still teach decorum.
It's interesting to me, because we [I work at StarTree, based on Apache Pinot] come at the issue from the entirely opposite end of the scales — when Elasticsearch doesn't scale to certain very large data sets, and especially where you are looking for aggregations and low latency query results.

So there are some workloads that are small enough you can use a different an alternate to Elasticsearch (and where performance is not paramount), and other workloads that are sort of too big for Elasticsearch (and where performance is paramount).

Graylisting has always required constant manual intervention when I managed mail servers. I'd say just whitelist their domain and move on.

Your example is backwards. Lying is the right, and truth is the wrong in your example.

So in arguing for two wrongs are OK, you are suggesting you'd direct the mob to the person running away (maybe they were a person you didn't like, or were of privilege you resent).
This might come as a shock, but pg has been wrong about lots of stuff, including this. Downvotes should be used for bad comments, not comments that you disagree with. These aren't the same thing. It's fine that downvotes and upvotes aren't symmetrical in this sense. They aren't anyway - highly upvoted comments don't get bolded the way that downvoted comments get grayed.

My parents' old PC. Circa 2011 motherboard with 2x 4TB spinning rust drives via SATA and an SSD plugged into a USB port to boot TrueNAS. 16GB RAM iirc. Only aftermarket part is a 1gig ethernet PCIe card. For basic file storage, pihole+wireguard termination inside VMS, and occasional one to two user streaming, it does the job fine. My biggest gripe is power usage; it probably makes fiscal sense to do a build from scratch just to bring down the power consumption.

In any case, a lot of those can indeed be considered bad. Like professional sports. Participatory sports on the other hand, foster community, improve health, and entertain, all in one.

Watching movies, or the general category, art, nourishes the soul, allows us to live vicariously other people's perspectives, and builds culture. Watching crap movies, made for profit, who turn their audience stupid (or pressupose their stupidity), on the other hand, can be considered bad. The same can be said of spending hours every day watching TV.
Square is great. We use both Square and Stripe. Square pays the same day, a huge benefit over Stripe.
I mean, some of this devolves down to the nature of the tools. Eagle was garbage, we all knew it, but it was free and relatively easy to get started on, so everybody in the OSHW movement used it. What we should've done was commit to KiCad early on, so there never was this closed-source element in the chain looming over the whole project.

I think open-source is a laudable goal, but your competitors have to be willing to play by the same rules, otherwise you're hobbling yourself. I worked at an agriculture startup some years ago, and while we all wanted the gizmos to be hackable for our customers, we all knew that if we opened things too much, a real heavy like John Deere, Monsanto, or Simplot would swoop in, leverage their existing logistics and customer base, and put us out of business the instant we had a product valuable enough to steal.

I don't like that e.g. Sparkfun is putting out a product that's worth more on its own than as a learning tool, so I agree with you. This signals a shift in Sparkfun overall that I don't like.

Try new things. Simple over everything is the key to production python code. Too many layers of abstraction is a massive footgun, especially if youre passing objects around a lot, due to dynamic typing etc.

Constantly circle back and refactor. Ruthlessly.

Same as in any lang, focus on data structures and algorithms (business logic is algorithmic) rather than the implementation, at least to start with. Get it working (usually easy in python, it's so dynamic!), make it good, make it fast. A good data model makes coding a joy. If your data structures suck every little thing will accrue friction. This is a red flag that you chose the wrong data model.

This definitely brings out the Accelerationist in me.

Keep making more changes, more regulation Europe. It'll make an interesting story one day. But only after extreme turmoil & chaos. After the dust settles.

And I don't think these attempts to regulate the planet, to impose your will & shift so much burden onto those doing & making & creating is going to work as you hope. I don't think it will give your societies the safety you think you can demand, and I think the difficulties you are creating are going to cause great suffering for your nations.

I respect your desire for a better more sensible world but forever more layering in more and more constraints & burdens on the active agents in your systems has such unfathomable costs.

And you don't have the right. You don't get to tell the entire world how to behave. There are impossible asks, utterly ridiculous, and you make them against everyone. You already have your foot on the floor, speeding us so quickly to breaking.
I'm also a customer (mk4 kit just arrived - I'm excited to build it!) and I have mixed feelings about the accusation of "coasting". Prusa seems to keep making the classic mendel design and making it better and better. Bambu does look like a pretty impressive product, but it's a major departure from what excites me about 3d printing - the devices include the user in the process. Building a kit is part of the fun, and the device's design files being available used to be a big part of Prusa's appeal to me.

Bambu seems more like a consumer product, even if it's a pretty impressive one. For people who just want no-hassle printed parts, I think the Bambu looks very compelling, but it just doesn't have that reprap spirit.

I've been very happy with my Prusa mk3s for the past few years, and excited to get the new one going. I'm worried about the company, though. Seems like Prusa might be on the path of becoming one of my favorite company and then running into trouble:

Pebble - no explanation required.
Sparkfun - New CEO took over, company stopped doing ALL the things I loved about it.
Printrbot - not sure what happened there?
Prusa - hopefully different!

Is GPT-4 getting worse over time?
The author tries to better understand introversion but focuses on slicing the pie in the wrong dimensions. There are underlying issues that cause people to swing between introversion and extroversion. When those underlying conditions change that can shift a person's place on the spectrum.

If you are some flavor of neuro-divergent with any awareness of yourself then you realize that you need to moderate some of your own annoying behaviors to fit in better with those you are currently in the presence of. Doing this is draining when you are around "normies", even if you like these peoples company. It's also likely that you only moderate certain behaviors around certain people and again, the degree with which you have to moderate yourself can affect how drained you are over time changing the duration you can withstand others company.

When you detect that you are around similar neuro-divergents a person can relax and just be themselves. The lack of drain on a person in this condition can swing an introvert into a full-on extrovert. Anyone who spends time at a makerspace or hackerspace probably understands this. It can be fun watching new people show up who usually are introverts and then they slowly shift their personality since they can safely be themselves and come out of their shells.

Again, it's the underlying reasons driving a persons introversion or extroversion. When those reasons shift then the personality shifts as well. This is not directly correlated to crowd size, but it's a given that the larger the crowd the less safe it is for someone to be themselves if they are neuro-divergent in any dimension. Only people who are "naturally normal" can safely be themselves 100% of the time in large crowds and not be worn down by the experience.

Point of clarification: could they file suit or have they started doing that?

In other words, is this a fear of something that might happen or something that is currently ongoing?

The only consistent “core principle” is a very general sense of in-group altruism, which gets expressed in wildly different ways.

Moralistic perspectives apply to a lot more than just overtly moral acts, as well.

At any rate, the “good in your eyes” is the key sticking point. It is not good in my eyes for a small group of people to be covertly shaping the views of all AI users. It is the exact opposite and if history is any judge it will lead us nowhere I want to be.
It is common in jazz for other players to avoid the root note in its lower position, the idea is to give more freedom to comp, and to avoid repeating the low note in the bass. Remember that unlike classical music where the composer can decide where each instrument will support the music, jazz players have to do this on the fly, so they need to follow some common rules like this.

In real life there is no certainty when faced with a new thing in nature. But there were many concurrent potentials for success - including traditional vaccines like coronavac. But it’s important to note that human trials for mRNA started in March, a mere two months after the genome was released. As we know now the antibody response to mRNA vaccines are rapid and robust. This information didn’t reach us immediately, but it reached public health decision makers world wide. Inactive vaccine trials started in April, a mere month later, and had good response if not as great as mRNA. Likewise monoclonal antibodies were approved in April as well, and pronation was proven and publicized in April, along with other treatments and techniques. So, as a decision maker, “flattening the curve” seems like a great strategy given you have rapid progress on multiple fronts. In 1959 absolutely zero of these were possible or probable. Monoclonal antibodies were perfected just 40 years ago, pronation wasn’t widely recognized as a possible treatment, and mRNA wasn’t even science fiction. The article proposes an absurd calculus from two completely different worlds as if they were somehow identical decision making criteria. It wasn’t, and while there was no “knowing” any one of the avenues would world, it was almost certain one would - especially with so much research behind the safety and efficacy of mRNA presented in my linked article and the remarkable and robust antibody response in the first humans in March.

The fundamental question is: do we want admissions based on merit (or not)? Saying "Yes" and then carving out an exception for the wealthy is dishonest (IMO); if the answer is "No, admission is not on merit" then we need to talk about what other considerations would be fair game.

Also, implicit in your argument is that universities getting more money is always a good thing - I take umbrage at that prior as universities should not be driven by the desire for perpetual capital growth.
But there's no actual evidence that ending legacy admissions will dry up donor funding that I've seen.

Universal Edition, Edition Wilhelm Hansen (now part of Wise Music Classical, I think) and Boosey & Hawkes are examples of publishers who have put up a lot of scores by 20th century composers for free.

With regard to pirated scores, that mainly happened on filesharing networks like Soulseek and DC++.

Why don’t you just write to them and ask for a PDF? As you know, composers are usually happy to hear of any interest in their music, and (just like academics and their research papers) they don’t always agree with their scores being “behind a paywall” for personal use.

I'll help. Of Harvard students:

39.7% are white. (American white population share: 59.3%. So whites are already dramatically under-represented).

17% (43% of 39.7%) of all students are white and legacy.

So of all students, 22.7% are white and not legacy.

Harvard class is 10% Jewish overall (American Jewish population share: 2.1% [2], so they are 5x over-represented)

Jews are nearly all counted as white. If they're legacy at the same rate as other whites, about 4.3% (43% of 10%) of total students are Jewish legacy, while 5.7% are Jewish non-legacy.

Subtracting 5.7% from 22.7%, that means that 16% of Harvard students are white non-Jewish non-legacy.

The US is 59.3% white [1] and 2.1% Jewish [2], so 57.2% non-Jewish white.

57.2% of population is funneled down to 16% of the slots - this is a massive under-representation; non-legacy non-Jewish whites basically cannot get into Harvard. Their chances are 4x (!) lower even than the overall population's very low chances.

No other major ethnic group is nearly this under-represented in the Harvard non-legacy admission process. This is the result of this group being disfavored.
