The Laffer curve is a laughably poor model to inform tax policy:

- There are many taxes, not a single tax rate

- It completely ignores the idea of progressive taxation: rich individuals and giant megacorps can afford to pay higher tax rates without the same issues that would occur by applying those tax rates on lower and middle classes and small business.

- It cannot be empirically validated without cherry picking data because it ignores many crucial factors.

It's basically just propaganda paid for and promoted by the rich to convince the proles to let them keep more money.

> Folks don't like comparing to the flu, but in this there are obvious similarities. With obviously similar outcomes on the ability of a vaccine to give sterilizing immunity.

And there's quite a controversy whether the flu vaccine is worthwhile becuase of that. The Cochrane systematic reviews are quite scathing.

> Much to your chagrin, though, I actually can say that among my contacts, getting the vaccine basically led to people not getting symptomatic covid. Folks got what they thought of as a bad cold. Almost flu like, but I know very few, if any, folks that were so bad off that they were symptomatic covid.

That's the definition of symptomatic Covid - a positive Covid test + flu-like symptoms (regardless of severity). That is what the trial measured and reported.

(This is in contrast to Asymptomatic Covid which is a positive Covid test but without any symptoms at all)

> Most wouldn't have even qualified as having a bad flu. (It is frustrating how many folks underestimate how hard the flu hits.)

No one I know experience anything close to a bad flu.

> Contrast with family members that did not get the vaccine in time, and were hospitalized. It was truly different.

Around me it was a mild cold to medium flu regardless of vaccination, including people in their 80s and 90s, with all the pre-existing conditions you can imagine. The only exception was a vaccinated friend (late 40s) who got scary chest pains for several days when he contacted Covid. No treatment beyond Paracetamol and Ibuprofen.
This isn’t what they did. What they did was automatically enroll kids with higher test scores into advanced classes, making it opt-out instead of opt-in.

That’s all.

Schemas are namespaces (actually called that internally in Postgres).

The SQL standard defines a two level namespace hierarchy. A single "instance" of contains multiple catalogs and each catalog contains multiple schemas (and each schema then contains objects like tables, views, types, functions etc).

Many database products use the term "database" instead of "catalog" e.g. in Postgres and SQL Server. But "schema" is used quite uniformly. MySQL's "databases" are in fact "schemas" though.
>and I hesitate to even call them that here in the US, we didn't have literal lockdowns like China had where they welded doors shut on apartments

Were there even places that gave you a citation for being out "uneccessarily"? Every single "lockdown" I'm familiar with in the US was voluntary. There was a period where "non-essential" businesses were forced or encouraged to not operate, but even that still isn't a lockdown, and nobody was forced to stay in their home.
Ah I see! Yeah I guess it's just a concept I've never run into before; unfortunate that it shares a name with the "other" concept of schema used by e.g. https://json-schema.org

Thank you!

> Please write a function in JavaScript that takes in a string as input and returns true if it contains a valid roman numeral and false otherwise.

Your question actually isn't worded concisely enough. You don't specify whether the string can merely contain the roman numeral (plus other, non-roman-numeral text), or must entirely consist of just the roman numeral. The way "if it contains" is used colloquially, could imply either.

I'd use either "if it IS a roman numeral" if it must consist only of a roman numeral, and "if there exists a roman numeral as part of the string" or some such, otherwise.

>No, we don't agree, and it is not me who finally got it.

Well, which is it? Do we not agree, or have I "finally got it" ("it" being, I assume, what you're trying to convey)? Because if I finally got what you're saying, then that suggests we would be in agreement. Or maybe you mean you've changed your position and I "finally got" your original argument, but now you're onto a new one. If that is the case, then please clarify your new position so I can finally get that one as well.

The saying presents a false dichotomy, which is highlighted here:

>...stop and consider whether stupidity is an adequate explanation. And if it is, then don't attribute it to malice

This is a false dichotomy because it is saying if stupidity is present, then don't attribute it to malice. But both can be present at the same time, in which case rejecting malice would be incorrect. Do you understand now? It is very simple, and this is what I wrote toward the top of the thread. You're grasping at straws here, and my position has not changed the entire time.

Please, read the saying again, read our discussion again, and think about it before you respond. What you're writing is incorrect.

I got 5: 1 inside + 3 outside = 2 outside. The other two rows look to be 4 inside + 1 outside = 3 inside and 3 outside + 2 outside = 5 outside.
Nice to see this on HN :)

The high-level is: You enable a setting and every CREATE SCHEMA creates a new shard. All the tables in the schema will be co-located so you can have efficient joins & foreign keys between the tables.

On top of that, you can also have reference tables that are replicated to all nodes, again for fast joins & foreign keys with all schemas.

Everything else is about making every PostgreSQL feature work as seamlessly as if there was no sharding. You can still do things like transactions across schemas, create and use custom types, access controls, work with other extensions, use procedures, etc.
> Canceling advanced classes quite literally prevents people from taking those classes.

1) You've cut my sentence, which says "cancel more advanced classes IF ...", which means that not all advanced classes are cancelled.

2) You are therefore asking to cancel "beginner's classes". I'm saying "cancel advanced classes as long as there are not enough beginner classes", so you are in practice canceling beginner classes. As any "advanced class" student was first a "beginner class" student, you are canceling the path towards advanced class.

> This is about allowing people to take the advanced classes if they choose, and allowing others to take normal classes.

Quickly looking closer to this, it was NEVER QUESTION TO CANCEL ADVANCED CLASSES. Simply, instead of algebra, do advanced data science (basically statistics), which is probably 1) more challenging, 2) more engaging, 3) more practical.

> Just allow people to take those advanced classes if they choose, and allow others to take take the normal classes. Problem solved.

Which problem exactly? It looks like the "no advanced classes" is just people on the internet getting all exited for something that was never considered.

Roadways for People – In Conversation with Lynn Peterson
Having the same owners is very different than saying that Booking.com does something. For one, each property owner decides who he or she partners with for sales. Your property won't be on Agoda or Priceline unless you've made a deal with them.

Unless you're talking about listing page that they have for each property, I have a hard time believing this. Only if the previous hotel owner made some kind of thing together with them.

Based on my own dealings with Microsoft from such a management role over the years:

The only customer Microsoft seems to care about or is really even cognizant of its responsibilities towards, is Microsoft itself. Every single one of its products and services exists solely because and only for as long as some division of Microsoft believes it requires those specific things and whatever they're meant to evolve into over time, in order to manage its increasingly complex and ever expanding internal operations.

It's like a snake eating its own tail.

So you can now access the Replicate hosted version from the terminal like this:

pip install llm
# or brew install simonw/llm/llm
llm install llm-replicate
llm keys set replicate
# Paste in your Replicate API key
llm replicate add a16z-infra/llama13b-v2-chat \

# And run a prompt
llm -m llama2 "Ten great names for a pet pelican"
# To continue that conversation:

That’s easy and makes sense.

Azure AD was initially a shim to enable O365. Now it’s evolved into a pretty awesome identity platform for Enterprise and B2C.

The problem is M365 adoption (ie O365 + the other crap) is high. So they are out of stuff to sell. Entra will add the governance and compliance bullshit and increase revenue.

End of the day, Microsoft chisels $38-55/head for every corporate worker. Services are all about cash flow, so they are looking to grow that up to $100 user/month. Every $1 of subscription spend is like $400 on the scorecard for the bonuses of SVP staff.

Because of anti-trust, they can’t just do what Adobe does and raise the price every few months. They just keep adding services and move stuff around in the bundles. M365 Plus+ E9 with Entra technology will give you $350 in value for only $103/month!
If anybody here is suddenly considering a startup in the PoS industry, please just turn around and run as fast as you can in the other direction. It's an endless pit of hell.
It hasn’t conquered beauty and comedy and love either. The things you mention will turn out to be folk human notions without satisfying scientific descriptions. They are no less real for it, but we simply don’t ask physics to describe love. I suspect consciousness will turn out to be an idea that is not amenable to physics or computational explanation as a coherent single phenomenon.
TBH, it sounds like you want a functional language (type inference, pattern matching, collection manip), of which there are many. GO is not such a language. But then you want ADTs, which aren't really functional. I'm not sure you can have both in a clean way. The closest you might get is a multi-paradigm language that tries to allow both, like C++.

Default immutability is great in a language like Rust where it's designed from the ground up to warn you as much as possible at compilation when something is wrong. You can rely on the compiler a lot. But adding default immutability to a language that isn't designed around the same concepts seems odd. You don't gain the same kind of benefits, but you do have to deal with the tedium. Worst of both worlds, in my view.

And replace "slow" by "terribly fast" and "normal" by "advanced" and, magic, now everyone gets advanced classes.

Estimating if the pace is "fast" or "normal" is very very complicated. Only an idiot will pretend they know for sure that "this is too slow" (unless obvious extreme cases which don't correspond to what we have here)

Also, apparently, the measure was to replace advanced algebra by advanced data science which was in fact more challenging than the initial recite-by-heart-the-formula algebra lessons.

I fully believe LLM’s and vector DB’s etc will be largely commodotized - in my opinion this is inevitable, and this is another step in the right direction.
C is also a very low-level and close to the machine language.

Just because you can build a microchip doesn't mean you can build a spaceship and vice versa.

So I'm not surprised about that they e.g. left out generics and said they did so because they didn't know a good or right way to add them to the language. They were honest at least which I value a lot.

As to the success of Go that you mention. Well, let's be honest: it targets junior developers, or at least that was originally a major goal. It is backed by Google and is marketed.

There are just currently way more junior developers due to the demand and the developement of the field.

However, you can already see that a lot of junior developers that started with Go are not so junior anymore and now that they got more experienced, they demand language features that make them more productive - like generics. And they will be added and in the end Go will be a language that is not simple anymore, it will be the new python.

Go is a very practical and pragmatic language, no doubt. It's one if its strengths. But it is not by any means an advanced high-level language in any sense that I would know of.
As a Clojure programmer, this is not what I have in mind when I think of data-oriented-programming, but this:

Principle #1: Separating code (behavior) from data.

Principle #2: Representing data with generic data structures.

Principle #3: Treating data as immutable.

Principle #4: Separating data schema from data representation.

Source: https://blog.klipse.tech/dop/2022/06/22/principles-of-dop.ht...

I think using C++ gives a different twist to the meaning of data-oriented, mainly because with lisps code is data. As I read this "manifesto", it seems more focused on the data the program handles than handling the program with data: In Clojure I often use data-oriented programming for programs that barely deal with any data at all. I tend to lay what I call a "plan" that describes the computation that needs to be carried out. In some way this is similar to a DSL except that this "plan" won't run without also writing a "compiler" or "interpreter". If suddenly requirements change and you need to run your "plan" in a distributed way (or any other execution flavor you may think of), you just write another compiler.

Code being data, this is an approach you can take on code itself with macros, not just as a way to add behavior but to split different aspects of code: I once wrote a macro specifically for a block of complex code that I wanted to read without the clutter introduced by debug lines, so I moved this code in a macro that would add it back using a highly specific code-walker.

What is gained by introducing interfaces using data rather than an object system, must be repaid when writing and maintaining those compilers.
