You make a good point and exactly why I would never in a million years sign into reddit with my Gmail account. I fear a cross platform ban somehow even if that is not how it works. My last account was banned for merely expressing my opinion and not doing so in an combative or nasty way just didn’t agree with the narrative and next thing I know I was permabanned.

Presidential voting power (for the same reason as the House; well, really, as a direct consequence of apportionment of the House).
> abstracted that from devs which was the whole point of k8s

That may be the point, but the actual impact is "devs" became "devops" and now spend some multiple of their time actually developing software puzzling over operations abstractions.

Veganism will never save us there.

It's because meat tastes good. That's literally all there is to why we aren't all vegan. Humans will not voluntarily give up one of the nice things they currently have access to and enjoy. Nobody cares about delayed indirect consequences on a planetary scale. Our brains aren't wired to think that way, since it provides no instant gratification.

If someone came up with a novel way to create a meat-like material that actually tastes as good, without involving inefficient animal farming, it will be a much more successful approach at solving this problem.
It’s virtually impossible to do free threading safely, especially with large codebases developed by multiple people. This includes tiny Python scripts that pull in a bunch of dependencies.

It’s like saying that C is a safe language, just “get good” at it.

There are safe alternatives such as structured concurrency.
It's optional. Just keep using the GIL.
I always figured physical SIMs were still preferrable for travel.

You can largely handle them unattended-- buy it from a kiosk or even a vending machine, and swap it without worry about having to bootstrap connectivity to a provisioning website or whether the carrier and device are willing to do the eSIM dance.

On the other hand, I'm actually surprised we don't see more carriers using better international roaming as a teaser to get people to buy more expensive plans too. The last time I went abroad (to the UK), my US T-mobile plan just worked for slow data, sufficient to Skype home (they said voice calls would be 25 cents per minute).
Automatically add Mixpanel to your project
Manually adding Stripe, Mixpanel, Sentry, or any third-party service is a pain. We’ve wasted tons of time on previous projects doing this instead of focusing on core product functionality.

That’s why Praneet and I are currently working on Velo to solve this problem.

Would love to know if any of you are facing this problem and are interested in trying out.

Also, let us know if you have any feedback on the product itself!

I just want to acknowledge that describing the problem is part of picking the solution, and it's not really _that much_ of a "I'm making the most neutral action and letting other people actually choose the solution".

Honestly the "real" hands off thing is letting somebody else also describe the problem and then probing it. But that might lead to a bit too much of an existential crisis for some people. And hey, if something works it works
even if they get "free multithreading" with no-GIL, their system eventually will overgrow one beefy machine and will need to be deployed across a fleet of 10/100/1000 machines.

at which point you lose benefit of no-GIL, because you now have to introduce redis and kafka into the system

And then there's async generators...
Yes, used for decades - and for good reason and benefit.

No, no the same thing. Sharing objects between processes is not easily achieved for various reasons (at least in Python). It would be easier to get it in multithreading with an arena based allocation model where objects live in a shared or non-shared area of memory.

Also it's not my idea. I am just advocating it as the better model for Python to advance to. It would also not take years to implement and the risks are minimized as there is full compatibility with existing code.
Your last analogy is very poor because even against rising rates of criminal gun use, the UK and the ROTW apart from the USA continues to have substantially lower levels of gun related deaths and suicide by police, against the USA.

So true: gun use and ownership in the UK rises and is mostly criminals. It's still less of a problem per capita than promiscuous gun ownership in the USA by all measures I understand.

This has nothing to do with the "war on encryption by the state" topic
Building on my original comment that spawned this post (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36883436), I am amazed by how much devs hate open space and still most tech companies just decide to ignore that. For instance, at Amazon we had a yearly and a weekly feedback tool which had questions around things that impact morale and productivity. In the half a decade I was there, not once did I see a question around open office spaces.

Maybe they are waiting for all the devs to sign a petition to "Bring back cubicles. Even if it's not perfect, it's still better than open space."
And what happens if these impairments start to gradually become more and more realized losses, as their due dates come? I can't see the FED making a 180 anytime soon, in fact I've been buying treasuries for the most part. Everybody in the world may want (and need) lower rates, but it's like fighting against the sunrise, if it's time for it it's time and that's it. What will happen when it's not Heartland Bank from Bumf*ck Arkansas that is going under from betting on the wrong macroeconomic path, but let's say, Bank of America? Would the other banks have the cash to bail this one out? Or will the FED in the end have to print piles and piles of colored paper, raising inflation and then having to raise rates, bla bla bla. It's going to be interesting to see what happens in the next few years.
the bic/biro pen WAS around when i started secondary school, and was used by sensible people. our teachers simply thought that water-based ink pens were more "character-building" and resulted in more readable handwriting - how wrong they were.
Yeah just like AI doesn't matter.

A tool I made got a lot of traction in a very specific niche of knowledge workers: 10,000 people a week doing what was a 10 hour task in 90 seconds.

It felt great blocking the EU instead of adding a cookie banner. Weirdly enough California adopted privacy legislation in a less braindead way so they get to own their data and use my product.
The phones do stop working properly, e.g. unicode doesn't work, and unsupported android OS's aren't no longer developed, not to mention security updates.

It's risky, especially in todays world where financial information is stored endlessly on a cell phone. 5 years+ for iphones make a very nice deprecation curve / alongside a viable resell market. It's nice to sell a 2yr old iphone for 70-80% of it's purchase price and then buy a new one and not have to worry about anything for another 5 years.

Google Employee Accuses WEI-Opponents of Being “Criminals”
Vegan and kosher or halal are not comparable.

How Cauliflower is Harvested

Many people believe that Kosher slaughter is painless, quick and merciful. In reality, animals who undergo a Kosher slaughter suffer immensely and are subjected to extreme violence. All this while being fully conscious and aware, as required in a Kosher slaughter.

https://www.kinderworld.org/videos/meat-industry/kosher-slau...

She told me that the first time she visited a kosher slaughter house, she heard screaming cattle from a half kilometer away. "Each terrified animal was forced with an electric prod to run into a small stall which had a slick floor on a forty-five degree angle. This caused the animal to slip and fall so that workers could attach the chain to its rear leg [in order to raise it into the air]. As I watched this nightmare, I thought, `This should not be happening in a civilized society.' In my diary I wrote, `If hell exists, I am in it.'"

> It's difficult. Applying these techniques efficiently and correctly is way more difficult than standard frequentist methods

Do you have any good resources/examples for applying these methods effectively? I've read Statistical Rethinking which is a good introduction to these methods at a high level but I find when I dig into an actual problem I have a lot of gaps and wish there were more real world code examples I could learn from.
I mean, this has literally been my job for a decade, but okay, f me.
This article is weak sauce. All I hear everywhere is that AI will take over the world and yet somehow Netflix is "hellbent on replacing creative professionals with bots" because they want to hire some good AI talent for $900k a year.

And then there's the end about music and the problem with Spotify losing money and generally sucking. He writes, "There is a fix for this. But it won’t be easy. It starts with creating an exciting music interface that celebrates artistry and creativity. If they do that, then it’s easy to boost the monthly rate." Sure. So Ted Gioia, if you have the vision, then work hard and do it.
Indeed, multiprocessing with pipes / queues and sometimes areas of shared memory is a pretty sane way to do parallel processing, when more than one CPU core works for you at once. It's pretty ergonomic, and it's largely equivalent to Node's workers.

It has nothing to do with multithreading or GIL, though, and happily works without threads and with GIL in place.
I’m talking about perturbing the micro data enough to allow researchers to answer their questions while remaining analytically valuable.

For example with school attendance data you could easy release a dataset at the county level with every student’s record with unique generated student id, race, grade, gender, absences by year (or even month) and still have 5-20 of each category to be able to show attendance trends before and after Covid without being able to identify individuals. And, if necessary, suppress really unique race or gender instances (eg, maybe there’s only one trans, Native American in a school) while still being useful enough to make useful findings for general trends.

I don’t know what specific questions, but the state not releasing any data to them and claiming privacy is silly.

The census and department of ed already do this and the department of ed has a very useful description of how they apply privacy protections and validate that data are sufficiently anonymized for public release, https://studentprivacy.ed.gov/sites/default/files/resource_d...
> It irritates me that the same people who step over a homeless bum on their way to Starbucks whine about the poor criminals.

Funny, that. Due to attitudes like yours, it's very hard for people with a criminal record to find gainful legal employment. Many end up living on the street as a direct result.
So my challenge to the writer is, why shouldn't the media companies pay $900k to hire AI gurus? If the companies think paying $900k to writers has a better return, they'd do it in a heartbeat, so why aren't they?
It is one thing to reject critical thinking, it is another level of "mindset" to ridicule those who refuse to part with it.

Whether aliens with lasers blew up WTC or if the buildings didn't even exist to begin with or whatver wild theory is not relevant, only evidence is. Did intel agencies conspire to blow it up, in the process maligning their closest ME ally and risk theirs and the US's credibility for a century to come just because they like to conspire? Where is your evidence? Is it possible? The silly things I said earlier are also possible. Even without the buildings collapsing thousands died from fires and debri and tens of thousands saw it first hand which is enough for invading afghanistan. As for the hijackers and bin laden, the fact that they pepared for this and held jihadist islamist beliefs aligned with binladen is enough. The US IC and terrorist connection you are claiming has no evidence so why should anyone believe it? If there is a conspiracy, it's more likely that a lot of Saudi ruling family and government people funded or knew about the attacks. Bin laden not only documented his desire and reasoning to go after WTC, he attempted to bomb them just a few years before 9/11. People don't belive what you do because reason isn't on your side.

i believe the reason OLPC was not successful is because they underestimated the externalities. how much it would cost to build the infrastructure (electricity/internet access) to make the laptops usable, the effort needed to train teachers. etc.
I work remotely on a small-ish research team. Almost all of my immediate colleagues are in the US or Western Europe. Most (all?) of the folks on P- and E-Core Engineering that I work with are full employees (i.e. not contractors) in the US or Israel. I'm not sure I'd know if they were H1Bs, but they're generally very knowledgeable and hardworking. From my perspective, there's little outsourcing on the core businesses (pun fully intended).

As far as comp goes, mine is competitive with Bay Area FAANG.
I'm not sure what you're trying to get at here. I've worked with these phone manufacturers and they often used the term market share to refer to share of sales / shipments / whatever over a monthly or quarterly time period. I think there is flexibility in the term.
I didn't dive deep on this, but I assume that GIL mode can still run anything, including no-GIL code (it is one of their promises, at least). So, unlike 2->3, there is forwards-compatibility.

It also seems like the latter isn't meant as a replacement (for the moment), but rather as an option.
Sounds like Microsoft is pricing AI services too low (possibly as a monopolization strategy) given capital costs and constraints of scaling up capacity.
I’ve seen no description of how this won’t be like 2 -> 3 except:

1. We don’t want it to be.

2. We’ll give up quickly if it is.

Those are both important points. But there seems to be an important missing third piece of “and we’ll achieve this by…”.

Hello Peter, thank you for the AMA. I am an Indian undergrad from a top uni, I plan to do a startup after graduating/maybe a year of work experience (I am currently working on it as a side project). What do you think are my options for getting a VISA quickly considering I do not plan to be employed for long and am unlikely to get in via O1 or E2.
Yeah it's going to be weird for some years where some libraries support no-GIL and others don't, while folks cry about the ones that don't support it holding them back.

Like asyncio's introduction we'll probably see core stuff like http requests, file IO etc. all now have an entirely new permutation of libraries made to support non-GIL mode. This is going to get pretty spicy as stuff like http already has regular (blocking IO) and asyncio (non blocking IO) versions, so now do they need regular non-GIL and asyncio non-GIL versions too? Is the default for a library author going forward to be creating four permutations of your library with vastly different behavior in each of them? Yuck.

> even if they get “free multithreading” with no-GIL, their system eventually will overgrow one beefy machine

Why?

Yeah, if you are building a system that is, say, serving web requests, and have an internet scale potential market, success might mean that.

Not every system works that way. A simulation system with defined parameters doesn’t grow in scale if it becomes more popular, you just have more people running isolated instances that don’t depend on each other. Plenty of other applications scale that way rather than the “SaaS that serves ever more clients” way.
One of the interesting ideas in some parts of the US homeschooling movement is that kids should spend their first 4-ish years of schooling in heavy memorization mode. Supposedly younger kids really enjoy it, and they may as well load up with good baseline knowledge since they're not going to be producing any interesting analysis of anything.

That's not what this case is about. The California Department of Education is not claiming that Thomas Dee misused confidential data. The CDE said that their contract with Dee means that he cannot testify against them or participate in an unrelated case against them.

This only works if you really commit to remaining disagreeable and never reveal that it was all a ruse.
Slightly faster performance when you write multithreading code correctly (much easier said than done). Very few python devs are actually running into this as a bottleneck day to day.
I'm am (or at least was) a turbo Star Wars fan but I never blamed the actors for crappy characters: that's on the writers and directors. I'm glad that Best was able to pull through and I was glad to see him re-cast as Kelleran Beq. Similarly, Kelly Marie Tran, Daisey Ridley, John Boyega, and everyone else who has gotten hate for the sequel trilogy are victims of Darth Kennedy and the talentless writers who were handcuffed and more or less told what they could write for those movies. Even the best Hollywood writers and producers, after being beaten around will say "Aw, fuck it" and turn in some piece of shit script that the studio will accept.
