I don't think OP is being overly negative in relation to the tone of the rest of the comments here. Nobody else up until this comment had mentioned anything about the actual important performance characteristics that the paper's authors' are claiming, and this does put it into perspective with the current state of the art. And OP does even end on an optimistic note anyway. No need to resort to personal attacks.

Edit: I appreciate you toning down the more combative part of your comment.

> It is not fair in this day and age to require people to drive air conditionless vehicles in hot weather

Why?

Because my sense of what was is fair tells me this is not fair. To you it is fair. So be it.

But it indicates both sides had bargaining power.

It does not indicate this. Consider an extreme example.

Labor: We need a $5 an hour raise.
Management: We will give you $0.01 raise.

Labor takes deal because they, in reality, had very little relative bargaining power. But a compromise was made! The act of compromising does not, in and of itself, indicate anything other than that a compromise was agreed upon. It does not indicate fairness, relative bargaining power, or anything else without further information.

My point was to object to original characterization of this being fair since it was a compromise.

I don't know what the tradeoffs were in the UPS bargaining. I do know that requiring someone to drive in an airconditionless vehicle in hot weather is not fair.
The other trick, aside from xroach, we would play on professors would be to take a screenshot of their desktop and re-display it as their wallpaper, with windows opened and all. To see a professor close an app window and still see it on the screen (from behind where it was) and to try over and over futilely to hit the "x" to close it on X Windows was a beautiful sight.

It wasn't our fault professors typically ran "xhosts +" in order to make their lives easier.

I also think real time is mostly useless (aside from for alerting, which probably is a different tool), but I don't think the one day delay is much of (if any) protection against the experimental pitfalls described.
Oddly enough I had a similar idea for the opposite: Making documents un-searchable by including white characters in the spaces, and even including a bespoke font with nonstandard encodings.
That's probably true but the big differentiator was that DuckDB can run in your python process so there's very low fiction to adopt it.

My impression of ClickHouse was that it was more like postgresql in that regard, i.e. OLAP : OLTP as ClickHouse : Postgres as DuckDB : SQLite.

clickhouse-local may have closed the gap on that though. Can you embed it in Python as a library?

Somewhere around 100-125K delivery drivers; any of them with 4 years full time seniority by the end of the contract, since the 5-year contract includes year-by-year general wage increases. The exceptions are employees in progression (less than 4 years full time under any classification), article 40 employees (air drivers, not many), and some seasonal work, most of which is defined under regional supplements.

Pay rate is determined by the contracts and years of seniority, nothing more.

(CNN) A vital system of ocean currents could collapse within a few decades if the world continues to pump out planet-heating pollution, scientists are warning – an event that would be catastrophic for global weather and “affect every person on the planet.”

A new study published Tuesday in the journal Nature, found that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current – of which the Gulf Stream is a part – could collapse around the middle of the century, or even as early as 2025.

Onnx is cool. For one it runs (large) transformer models in the cpu twice faster than pytorch/transformers. But at the moment it lacks a number of crucial features. Specifically:

It's reliance on google's protobuf with it's 2gb single file limit is an extreme limitation. Yes you can keep weights outside your model file, but still many operations (model slicing) fail.

Second, inability to offload parts of the model to disc or cpu(like huggingface accelerate) while the rest executes on the gpu.

Thirdly, inability to partition existing large models easily. You can delete nodes, but then fixing the input/output formats means manually editing text files. The work flow is ridiculous (convert onnx to txt with pdoc, edit in text editor, convert back to binary).

I really wish they fix all this stuff and more.

They get a lot more than nothing.

They sell the attack to business partners like Netflix and Spotify.

Effectively, they are selling the end users' liberty (ability to run arbitrary software, including for example, a cracked ad-free version of the Spotify app) to those business partners.

In sales-speak, this is framed as "effective Digital Rights Management", with "Rights" meaning "copyright enforcement". Critically, DRM is not a viable methodology until you provide it this attack surface.

It's also worth noting that YouTube is one of those business partners, and both Android and YouTube are owned by the same corporation: Alphabet.

For one, artists and photographers use Instagram to promote their work. The viral nature of social media makes it a lot easier for posts to get traction compared to, say, having to go through making your own portfolio site and then having to do website SEO etc.

Maybe this doesn't bother the more technically minded, but as an artist you just want to get eyeballs on your art and any hurdle between you and that is taking time away from what you actually want to do.
Great story, thank you for sharing. I had a similar experience merely as an attendee at a local meetup. I submitted an idea for a quick talk, performed well, and this set me up well for a job with an outfit whose lead developer was in attendance. So, can vouch for meetups as being a great way to give your career a bump if you have some latent energy and are looking for a change :)
I am always surprised at how hard I have to convince people that walking is far more healthy for them than they realize.

I think there can be many things that go into it. Seeing the NEAT framework is a fun discovery to help promote the idea. It can be hard to convince people that a 1 hour walk is worthwhile, though. Which is a huge shame. (Especially when the "people" includes yourself and you can't carve out the time in the day.)
Once upon a time, we had several Sun Enterprise 450s that my college used to teach Oracle to students. It was well underutilized and the hit game Quake had come out. Of course we, the IT support staff, ran a Quake server and invited all of our friends to play on it. Imagine our surprise when one of our professors we support came into our office and said "Hey our Oracle instance is very slow, can you guys take a look at it?". Whoops, we shutdown the quake server and he later sent an email "I don't know what magic you guys did, but the performance is amazing!".

Another fun one, not targeted at professors, but at our student compute lab. We had a lab of 25 Sparc Ultra 60s that was pretty well utilized. Well one day, before I became a sysadmin, I was thinking to myself "all of these servers are rsh enabled, what if I logged into all of them". So I wrote a script that would cut up an AU file (sun's audio format) into tiny parts and then wrote a program that would synchronize with each other and play a different part out of a different workstation. I vividly remember playing a screaming sound in a ring around the entire room at a low volume before playing the entire sound out of the three middle workstations at full volume a few seconds later. The lab was full. At least 15 people immediately noped out. I was sitting in the back cracking up.

Another time the sysadmins of the same computer lab left rwalld running. So I sent an rwall "The system will shutdown in 5 minutes" or whatever the shutdown message was. The professor at the time got angry "they always do this, they perform maintenance whenever the g.d. please" and he stormed out of the room. Suddenly the professor and an angry IT administrator was peering in the door and pointing at me. They threatened to revoke all of my access which would cause me to fail out. I just shrugged, I knew what they were up against and instead asked to work for them. The anger turned to surprise and I worked there for almost 6 years before leaving for greener pastures.

Ahh the SunOS days were really the days of yore
I found this text about being both gay and Catholic very interesting as it avoids the cheap solutions that are often offered in such discussions.

That can create pagination issues when the fonts don't match on the recipient's side because you used a libre font with different metrics than what Word ends up substituting. It's safer to stick with PDF.
The font designer has to include a flag for each supported country. Often a given font is missing lots of flags for reasons that have nothing to do with whether the designer recognizes a given country or not, just a question of priorities; perhaps only 100 out of 200 flags are supported.
> Labor: We need a $5 an hour raise. Management: We will give you $0.01 raise.
Labor takes deal because they, in reality, had very little relative bargaining power. But a compromise was made!

Except this doesn't reflect the reality of the deal. Real pay bumps, hiring commitments, a new paid holiday--these aren't minor concessions. There was palpable uncertainty around whether there would be a strike. Teamsters estimates the value of concessions around $30bn; that's 20% of UPS's market cap, delivered to drivers over five years.

Compared to fusion it should be a lot simpler and if there is one material that exhbits these properties there might be more.

> The Supreme Court can declare Knesset legislation unconstitutional. The reform would permit the Knesset to override such a ruling by reintroducing the legislation and approving it with a majority of Knesset members.

> Levin and the ruling government coalition have stated that the above is the first step in their judicial reform, and that additional steps are planned, including changing the appointment process of legal advisors to government ministries, such that they are appointed and dismissed by the ministers; making their legal advice a recommendation rather than binding on the ministers; and making them subordinate directly to the ministers rather than to the Justice Ministry's professional oversight.

> The coalition is also advancing a number of other bills concerning Israel's judicial system and the balance of powers, including reforms to widen the authority of the Rabbinical Court, allowing them to act as arbitrators in civil matters using religious law, if both parties consent; bills limiting the ability to call for a no-confidence vote and other methods for dissolving a sitting Knesset; bills prohibiting criminal proceedings against sitting Prime Ministers; and bills permitting key public service positions to be positions of trust appointed by politicians rather than professional appointments.

Well, no because if they had no bargaining power management could have told them to fuck off, or pay them even less. "Had bargaining power" =/= "had the upper hand"

This reinforces my point, millions of other people go to McDonalds each day because it's cheap food, I can't judge them for it.

So me never eating McDonalds and building my own furniture from recycled timber means hardly anything and the rain forest is still fucked.

I believe that the comment about CAP theorem violation / treating the problem as a technically unsolved thing isn't true. Eg. See the dataflow paper that sets up more clear tradeoffs for latency and correctness in large scale data processing [1]. I think it makes sense to always hold a high bar for your technology -- if it's technically feasible, and fits within budgets (time and complexity for the team), accepting artificial limitations because they soften social problems feels like a mistake / believing in a false "ignorance is bliss" belief. I think the problem that is presented is more of a problem of popular understanding of statistics and game theory, and not the technical problem.

This is either enormous or nothing. It will be very interesting to see it play out.
Note that i'm writing this from the french cultural/political context, but i don't think this is true. Or at least it's not universal. Here even most of the far right would not dare question reproductive/abortion rights. Even Marine Le Pen has proposed to make abortion a constitutional right. The only question on the conservative right here (except for marginal catholic sects such as La Manif Pour Tous) is to oppose extending the incubation period during which abortion is legal.

In the United States the situation is different, mostly due to decades of political lobbying and public disinformation against abortion orchestrated by fascist billionaires associated with various christian churches. But still, i'm guessing some parts of the right wouldn't dare question abortion rights. Despite the democrats being from an outsider's perspective a right-wing party (capitalist and rather conservative), let's pretend for a second the republican party are the entirety of the right, it's still not clear that all democrats stand for abortion and all republicans against:

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2022/06/17/a-closer-...

Still, i think there is truth in what you say. As much as some issues such as gay/trans rights have advanced in the past decades, the political spectrum has shifted massively to the right in the Global North. Anti-immigration doctrines are far more common, and abolition of capitalism and wage slavery has almost become a taboo even on the so-called left. It's always both funny and sad to see people call Mélenchon or Sanders "far-left" when their social program is rather centrist and not more ambitious/communist than historically very right-wing programs (such as De Gaulle's after WWII).

I really liked this article, and I thought this statement hit the nail on the head: "Confusing how we do things with how we decide which things to do is a fatal mistake." I've worked at companies that practice what I call "thrash management" (constantly jumping from one priority to the next based on whichever fire happens to be burning brightest that day) and it's no fun, to put it mildly.

That said, once you build a system for operational metrics (i.e. what you need to detect anomalies that indicate outages, security concerns, etc.) you're already a huge way there towards having real-time analytics. I still wholeheartedly agree with the author that these real time metrics should only be in the service of operations, not product planning.

No, I mean Windows API honors UTF-16 surrogate pairs, and processes them correctly. It doesn't produce invalid UTF-16 strings either. Apps may not support UTF-16 properly, and that's not on Windows, is it?

NTFS, on the other hand, has no dictated format for filename encoding. It just stores raw bytes as filenames, so anything can be a filename on NTFS, including invalid strings if the caller decides to do so. That's not on Windows either, otherwise, we should add Linux to the list too as ext4 and most other file systems also don't care about filename encoding.

>There are a lot of examples where something seems perpetually 20 years away. I'd advise tempering the transistor-based optimism with just a skosh of fusion energy skepticism.

most of the common examples are in-the-works or exist in some form, they just don't satisfy the 'every-person' checkbox yet.

AI? sure. Flying cars? sure. Robots? sure.

Fusion is in the works, too. Tens of billions of dollars being thrown into the ring by private capital -- and recently -- which is a pretty good indicator of 'perceived realistic' historically.

Also, it's kind of apples/oranges. We had equivalent mechanisms before the transistor, transistors just lead to extreme miniaturization of logic gates that we now enjoy. Fusion energy production doesn't (really) have that equivalent.

similarly : room temperature atmospheric pressure superconductors are a new thing if proven possible.
