>It could be so. The theory is that if we were to implement that, we should start at the coasts, establish dense forests there, and then continue planting inland.

While I certainly agree that chopping down the Amazon is terrible, I think you're vastly oversimplifying things with this theory. Some things just don't grow well in some places, and soil is important too. You can't just plant a bunch of trees in the desert: there's no soil there, just sand. Sure, you could start small at the coast and move inland as the ecosystem changes and soil quality is improved, but this is something that would probably take many centuries or longer.

Grasslands, savannas, etc. have been around for far, far longer than human civilization; they're not something we created with deforestation, and ruminants like cows(' ancestors) have been around far longer than us, grazing in these places. Chopping down forests to make more places for cows obviously is a bad idea, but I'm not convinced that it's feasible to take places that have been grazed by animals for millennia and somehow turn them all into nut tree forests.
Yep, you are probably right. My doubts on where to post are a sign that i'm in the wrong place. thank you

Your first point seems to be most important.

> - google used to return really relevant results for SO, and it stopped doing so at some point a while ago

SO might be horrible now, but it still holds years worth of answers that were just fine a few years ago - so why aren't they showing up now? Google's current recommendation of going to w3schools or - even worse - geeks4geeks or any other content farm is and always will be worse than stackoverflow. I don't have a clue what their algorithm is doing but it's surely trying to kill Google search as fast as possible.

Another joke is the fact that searching for "[language] [symbol]" also brings me to these content farms instead of the documentation. You seriously can't find useful anything these days using Google.
Big offshoring companies like TCS went big with the Y2K bug correction, and handling COBOL development.

Sometimes that is how one goes big, by taking care of stuff no one is interested into doing, and when there is enough money in the bank, go after everything else.
I would be surprised if Mozilla’s VPN was a substantial source of income. They are just reselling Mullvad’s VPN but for double price.

> how does the attestation third party ensure you are sending it real information?

The WEI standard does not prescribe this, as far as I can tell. One way to do this would be to use something like Secure Boot (broadly speaking), which can make "independent" measurements of what is being executed and sign that with a private key that never leaves (something like) a TPM.
People has complained about bad moderation on StackOverflow since forever so I don’t think it’s that.

What I see recently is that the answers start being out of date, and Google sometimes bizarrely returns these weird copies of StackOverflow instead of the main site. Can it be that?
Whenever this is mentioned, the answer is always the ease of adoption. Less tech literate people can just use their phone number and they won't have to bother themselves with anything else.
This is the first Lamport paper I read (over 20 years ago now), and it has stuck with me since then, it's so clearly explained...

On erlang vm (beamvm), you can safely trace in production. It makes tracing and debugging tools in other ecosystems look like they are primitive in comparison.

I think erlang ecosystem has its own warts like any other one but debugging definitely isn't one

Here are a few examples of what you can do in erlang/elixir:

Inspect function calls that match specific argumrnt patterns, which can get pretty detailed.
Tag processes by id, future processes under a supervisor, or other criteria, and limit tracing to these.
Limit tracing to n occurences. As in automatically disable tracing after it triggered n times.

Typically one combines these and more to identify issues pretty rapidly.
Perhaps you don't see the extreme right on Twitter because you think Tucker Carlson is center-right. He is about as right-wing you can get without actively doing the Hitler salute. The fact that he has a slight populist, anti-corporate bent doesn't affect that significantly.

And I'm speaking from a US politics perspective, where Hillary Clinton is considered center-left. If we were to take a more international view, then Joe Biden is somewhere on the center-right, and Trump and Tucker are so far on the right that you can barely see the spaces between them and the nazis. For context, far-right Marine Le Pen of France is to the left of Tucker on most issues, except that she's a bit more openly racist.

Intel employee people who work on Java and LLVM at least, so they could release their own versions of those. I guess V8 wouldn't be hard to add.

The main reason to do a coordinated release would be competitive advantage, I guess, plus to ensure that there are actually compilers that support their new instructions available right from the start. Intel already release their own Linux distro optimized for their chips because other vendors were targeting the lowest common denominator

In some European countries teachers are extremely well paid and have at least 2.5 months paid vacation.

The vacation seems similar in the U.S., I don't know the payments.

It students really need laptops (big if ..), the installation should happen in class. If installation cannot happen in class, the laptops are toys anyway and aren't needed. Better teach maths.
Except there is a non-meritocratic force involved. These schools judge on extracirriculars for example:

- low-income families are 3x more likely to have problems with their cost: https://mottpoll.org/sites/default/files/documents/031819_Pa...

- many programs and activities that stand out aren't likely to be offered in poorer school districts

- the time outside of school hours they take has a cost: it can be in terms of needing additional transportation, or changing childcare plans for example.

College applications don't measure aspiration, they measure proxies for aspiration we've long known are flawed and heavily affected by wealth.

Honestly it's telling that affirmative action was struck down which in turn is threatening legacy applications, and not the other way around, when it's well known historical fact legacy applications started out as a way to keep out immigrants: at the end of the day these schools have been putting their endowments ahead of what benefits society, and that's not really how things should work.
I just use all the various sites as tools, instead of having loyalty anywhere. Search for something you're interested in and see what shows up. YouTube is definitely no longer the central repository of everything that it once was. A good way to demonstrate the average difference between YouTube and TikTok is to show the same video from the same guy, but optimized for different platforms. This is a video on deadlift form (in weight training):

TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyethier/video/71989368081330209...

YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxWcirHIwVo

No idea what the deal is, but I'm guessing the YouTube algorithm is optimized for longer form videos so a lot of stuff ends up with just a lot of filler. The TikTok video is everything in the YouTube video, but with all the fluff removed. I've also used TikTok for foreign language lessons with excellent results, largely for the same reason. The videos tend to have a lot better information density than what YouTube optimizes for.

----

Also, just watching that YouTube version again. Perhaps one of the best things is no more "If you like this video be sure to like, subscribe, and comment below. It really helps the channel out." An algorithm that relies on such a stupid, gameable, opt-in metric is always going to be inherently dysfunctional.

they could have bought used ones for $50 on Ebay and installed Debian.

Would you care to estimate how long it would take to source even 100 working $50 laptops, install Debian on all of them, and make sure they all actually work (where "work" includes having enough battery to get through a school day)?

Plus even then you wouldn't actually get away from Google since the school probably uses gmail, Google classroom, Google Docs etc.
This is what would do it for me. I make planning and big decisions once or twice a year where having write access is needed. I'd be happy to pay $14 for it.

For the rest of the year I'm just checking in from time to time to see how I'm tracking against the plan, so a free read-only mode would be ideal.
Why is it that SO moderation is so awful? What incentivizes SO mods to be jerks?
There is zero incentive for them to improve moderation. Moderation is a cost center, and faulty moderation is a revenue generator.

We have allowed soulless corporations to pave the cultural commons and make shitty replacement “services” that they own outright but offer as tawdry alternatives to the cultural wealth that they destroyed.

This is “progress”

This is “move fast and break things” in its worst version. I mean, they actually removed “don’t be evil” from their public facing presence.

We would do well to remember that there is no fundamental human right of incorporation.

Corporations were allowed to exist to form a legal structure for towns and public works projects. The business corporation is outside of that intention in most iterations.

When a corporation becomes a public scourge we should remember that it exists at the convenience of the people.

We need to begin referendums to censure, limit, or even dissolve corporations that turn out to have a net negative effect on society. There is absolutely zero reason why the people should bear such a burden.

When corporations become large enough to be de-facto governments in their own right, they need to be subject to democratic oversight. Otherwise we will inevitably live in an oligarchy of corporate exploitation.

Machbase Neo: An Integrated Open-Source TSDB Drastically Reduces Developer Time
And things don't stop at the "entry point". If you are in the other, larger category of people without wealth levels of the top 1-5%, but with a kid having had the potential and abilities to being accepted into an Ivy school, financial inability to "keep up with the Joneses" prevents access to a lot of other school or future professional options. While able to pay enough to sustain college tuition, room and board, ability to build the necessary network, which is one of the foundations of future growth, by also attending expensive, while professionally beneficial events, in and out of school, was financially impossible. And this is where people meet and make decisions on the future of some of the kids, including job offers way before graduation. The game is end to end rigged.
Developers can now save significant time with the all-in-one open-source time-series database, Machbase Neo (https://neo.machbase.com). Previously, time-series databases existed as separate software components, requiring additional installations such as web servers and MQTT servers for effective utilization. Tasks like authentication, installation, data loading, and extraction had to be performed simultaneously, and even simple applications required extensive coding, like JSON transformation for integrating different types of charts.

Enter Machbase Neo, which eliminates the need for developers to perform various additional tasks. It integrates all the necessary functionalities into a single package, making it a promising option for data analysts as well. Some of its supported features include:

- Embedded HTTP web server (Rest-API)
- Embedded MQTT server
- Embedded gRPC server
- Embedded SSH server (presumably for secure channel communication)
- Built-in time-series database (appears to combine the speed of Markbase's library)
- X.509 certificate support
- Support for transforming InfluxDB's line protocol
- Built-in visualization tool (enabling quick data input and visualization)
- Direct data transformation within Neo using the TQL language (similar to ETL functionality)
- Web browser accessibility for all operations
- Support for FFT and 3D data analysis (reference samples required)
- One crucial tip for users: don't forget the login details for (sys/manager) during usage

Apple AirPods Pro 2 Detailed Hearing Aid Review:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=x0gsTz1sSDE
The activations (outputs) of one layer must be encoded in the same way as the weights of that layer as well as the weights of the next layer or the computation fails (unless you manage to write clever kernels for doing math at different levels of precision simultaneously, but even then you're introducing even more lossiness than just using a binary representation for those values).

Example: multiplying a bunch of float16s together gives you a float16. That is passed on to the next layer of float16s. Why should forcing the output of the first step to be float8 confer any advantage here? The only way I can see this argument working is if you make all the layers float8 too, and the reason you can do that is that the output of the first step can be faithfully represented as float8 because it doesn't ever blow up. If that's what the author is saying, it wasn't very clear.

Oh, so maybe DDG is ahead of Google in terms of quality alone in at least one domain now? Because it definitely still gives answers from SO at the top.
Blog post author here.

A few clarifications:

* I am not a contributor to the repo, and stepped in as chair on the repo after writing this, to help the engineers contributing to it deal with clear spam & abuse cases. I wrote this post with WEI in mind, but nothing about it is specific to this proposal, and could've been applied to multiple past proposals (and probably future ones), either from Google or from other standards participants.

* Political/ecosystem arguments are technical arguments. See https://blog.yoav.ws/posts/web_platform_change_you_do_not_li...

* If you're objecting to the goals of the proposal [1], it'd serve you better to outline which goals are objectionable and why. Mozilla folks did a good job at articulating that in https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852#is...

A couple of things I should've included in that post and didn't:

* It's important to actually read and understand the proposal before objecting to it. For example, WEI has nothing to do with ad-blockers or DRM (in the sense that the content itself is not restricted, unlike EME). It does have real eco-system risks that the proposal would need to address before moving forward. Objecting to the latter makes sense. Objecting to the former is easy to dismiss as a misunderstanding.

* At the end of the day, in the case of Chromium, your goal is not necessarily to convince the proposal's proponents, but the API owners [2], many of whom are not Google employees.

P.S. I'd love to discuss this with y'all like professional adults. Can we do that?
In 2016, I wrote a pretty detailed answer for "Spark vs. Redshift" question. This was in the very early days of what today I guess is called "the modern data stack"

The core of the answer was that cloud warehouses are not suitable for real-time use cases, because the batch processing and transformations take too long. If you want real-time, you need to pay up - hence Databricks / Spark. I did call out the fraud use case in that answer.

There were 1st generation ETL tools like Alooma that tried to go into the direction of streaming, and they pushed the limits.

Back then (we had built cloud warehouse monitoring tool), the closest to real-time I've ever seen any company get was IronSource. The time between an event and until that event was available in a dashboard was five minutes (they were using Redshift).

I'll stick my neck out and say that certain industries will be all over Artie, whereas others will shrug their shoulders.

The industries that I think will be all over Artie:

- FinTech
- Insurance
- AdTech
- Gaming
- Publishing
- Logistics / Delivery

These are industries where a couple of minutes of difference in data recency can make a difference of millions of dollars. And you'll probably cost less than existing streaming solutions, which is obviously nice. But I think the real advantage will be simplicity.

I know you can't support all destinations at once, and need to go with where demand is. But I would expect that the Materialize and Clickhouse crowds are good target users for you.

Good luck, this is an exciting product!
> I'm real uncomfortable with comparing kinetic weaponry to communications encryption.

Same. The purpose of kinetic weaponry -- even when used in self defense -- is to injure and kill.

Communications encryption has so many varied uses, there's just no comparison.
You are thinking about it backwards. It's not a matter of what was done for the kids, but what was expected of them. Parents would not tolerate low effort. Also, I didn't know any who employed private tutors, but they did arrange to send their kids to the best schools within reach.
They should have put HBOMax/Max as the punchline of the joke.
I would have been inclined if the article even alluded a hint of thorough research. My time is too precious for that.

Sell me a good paper and I will study it. I’m not gonna read anything just so I can say my first impression was right all alone.

And for god’s sake don’t bury the link to the paper. Did they even post it? It should be way easier to get to the source too. Not a good sign either
When you set an object as a default that object is the default for all calls to that function/method. This also holds true if you create the object, like that empty list. So in this case, every call that uses the default argument is using the same list.

li.append(item)

This is some grade-A toxic behaviour from google. It gives the same vibes as the infuriatingly phrased: “oh sweetly you just don’t understand”
Exactly "give constructive and technical feedback" means "we will make this thing, either give feedback that would add to it in s technical way or shut up"
They should not be able to demonetize videos. Deeming a video inappropriate but still making a buck off it is unethical if not outright dishonest. They are basically stealing from the author and I am surprised that it isn't a copyright issue at all.
It'd be better phrased as

If the thirty year median satelite data 1981 - 2010 is the "normal state",

Then this years ice extent is more than five standard deviations (in one direction) from the mean of observed data,

and we'd expect such an event to happen once in every 7.5 million "samples".

However badly phrased the journalistic reporting of a researchr speaking casually gets there's not actual underlying intent that anything is being extrapolated forward or backward in time.

Simply the observation that most antartic sea ice extant data is tightly clumped and that this year (amd last year) represent either a very unusual event or a marked departure from "normal".

This may help visualise the data better:

https://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/charctic-interactive-sea-...

( click the antartic button to switch poles; the default is to grey the thrirty year normal data band and to only show last year and this year, other choices can be made by selection on the data table )
