Reliance on Apps to intermediate everything is bullshit in my opinion. Plus I personally specifically don't want to share my location with some app written by people I've never met who are 100% likely to either misuse it themselves or to sell it to someone who will.

When they want to take your freedom away, they won't come jackbooting in with rifles, they will do it by offering you convenience.
You could already get a clearance with past marijuana use (and other drugs) but I guess this would just make it so someone couldn't be denied a clearance solely for that reason.
I wrote a manuscript in vim a couple Novembers ago, for NaNoWriMo. I used a couple plugins, primarily Goyo [1] to add some margins, but otherwise, yeah, plain vim.

I don't think it was really any more productive than my current workflow in Obsidian. Vim keybindings are more useful for editing than for writing (and for editing code in particular, where the changes you're making are much more structured). The extra features afforded by Obsidian don't really make a difference during the actual writing process, but I find they're really useful for outlines and other preliminary work, which is something of a point against a vim-only workflow unless you want to use vimwiki [2] or something.

Granted, Obsidian is still a markdown-based tool, so there's still some level of minimalism going on there, but by that point we're really discussing markup vs word processors, which is its own conversation—and to my mind, a much more important one. I much prefer working in markdown (via pandoc) than in a word processor, because plain text is easy to edit and process through the terminal, and because it lets me separate style choices from content.

I find that the markdown live preview that editors like Obsidian and Typora provide (and which vim doesn't) is a really nice compromise between a slick composing experience and the technical affordances of markup. Between that and Obsidian's hypertext features, I think I'll stick with Obsidian for the foreseeable future.

Are you by any chance Jensen Huang?
Can confirm that Airflow is a terribly designed system. So inflexibile and gotchas that only arise after a ton of development. AWS Step Functions are infinitely better and more simple.
Additionally, it appears some of the original team members were concerned about possible industrial spying or leaks and that 'other parties' might be moving to replicate which was part of the impetus for rushing to publish. So, it's possible that some team(s) in China may have already been starting, underway or at least thinking about it.
Monitor and Optimize your large-scale model training
There are better, less destructive ways to test the transition temperature. Apparently LK-99 is hard to make in bulk, so they probably don't want to torch their sample.
Policing language sounds a bit Orwellian (insert doublespeak quote). People like to use various metaphors. It doesn't mean they literally want to curb stomp a competitor.
This would be huge for increasing energy density in Manhattan. Holbrook Superconductor Project uses liquid nitrogen to cool.
"Chained folds (map, filter, etc.) immediately within the same expression really should be easy to optimize"

In a pure functional language they are.

In a non-functional language with mutation it is much more challenging. Map functions are unconstrained in Javascript which means they can do anything they like with regards to breaking optimization.

This is generally why I'm down on the whole "chain maps and filters" style of programming in languages that aren't designed for it. You are paying more than you may realize if you've never profiled your code and compared. In languages that are designed for it and have the ability to optimize it, by all means, go for it.

The other thing you have to remember is that JITs are time-constrained as optimizers go. They have the advantage of access to real run-time information about how things are being used, but they also have very, very tight time budgets; on the whole the time budget's problems seem to dominate the knowledge advantages. The profiler is not allocated a lot of time to prove that a given function is pure and it's OK to synthesize a composed function rather than run two maps. I don't even know if any JS engine is smart enough to try that. (Input from anyone who knows welcome, I'd be interested to hear either way.)
I've got a few.

Text editors: I've used emacs, pico, nano, jed, vim, AE (UniData), ED (UniVerse), Sublime Text, VSCode, BBEdit, and countless others that I've forgotten. Sublime Text wins for simple edits of single files, vim wins when I'm ssh'd somewhere or at a terminal, and VSCode wins when I'm editing a collection of related files or doing development. ED and AE have a special place in my heart.

Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, UniVerse, UniData, OpenQM/ScarletDME, Sqlite, Oracle, MSSQL, Access. For relational databases, PostgreSQL for personal use and Oracle when someone else is paying for it. For MultiValue databases (UniVerse, UniData, OpenQM/ScarletDME) I like them all, but UniVerse was my first one and will always be special.

Browsers: I use Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari roughly interchangably. Each one works better (for me) than the others in different contexts.
That still leaves all encrypted traffic on the current internet vulnerable to a store-and-decrypt-later attack, which is more concerning the nearer that "later" is.
I've put a lot of time into Airflow and feel similarly that it's a huge pain and a risk to rely on it. I've replaced it with Temporal (https://temporal.io/) and while I don't have the breadth of experience with the frameworks you listed, I do think Temporal is a great replacement for Airflow.
As if that would have stopped him. He will argue that it’s XK-69, entirely different material and spend decades in litigation trying to bankrupt the inventors or worse.

I'm with you on this... I'd just assume use simple test/assertion library along with Playwrite/Puppeteer. May even push for straight up Deno as the test base and runtime for that matter.

Thank you for your comment, Josh!

Sure thing. Happy to hear that YNAB works for you!

I want to focus on people starting to get traction with their freelance/business but still need the tools. I saw how easily it is to get lost in finances when you have a few projects at once, so I used design and development to create something that people would actually want to get into every week to update their data.

That's the hope, at least. Thank you for your time checking out the landing page! I appreciate your feedback :)
Elon Musk wants a second chance to fail at X
Well, you still lose current over time... for example, we had to dump a bucket of electrons into our superconducting, supercooled magnet about every month ago to keep things swirling properly.

(The EE I worked with later didn't believe me. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnet#Persist... and note that the loss was due to details of magnetic superconductors, not superconductors in general)
Spent the past few months on:

Observability platforms - Elastic / DataDog / Splunk / new era platforms

Incident management and alerting - PagerDuty / OpsGenie / FireHydrant

Status Pages - Atlassian / PagerDuty / new era platforms

Would be really keen to read someone's experience on Jira on-prem / Cloud / alternatives considered.

I don't get it. Hasn't this already been a thing in supermarkets for years?
Not really an apple to apple comparison but I've used many programming language package managers (e.g. npm, pip, maven, bundler, cargo) and cargo is hands down the best one I've worked with.
I am no expert on this topic, but I feel this is similar to how ferrofluid forms "spikes" when placed near a magnet. Are they related?
Michael Jordan was a stone-cold killer on the court.
Your entirely false recollection of history is because you start with a premise and work backwards.

Labour's official stance is this and related bills don't go far enough.
As an employee the cost of working from home is GARGANTUAN. I already life where I want to, don't force me to move to a more expensive place so that I have space for an office at home. I don't need to move for any office, as all offices in my local city (1+ mil) are easily reachable by bike or subway within 30 minutes.
I will say that, personally, I miss the office sometimes. If I had a 45 minute (per direction) or shorter commute I'd say my perfect world would be getting together in an office with my immediate team 1-2 times a week. It's just so much easier to have thoughtful discussion in person than via teleconferencing; I also, selfishly, enjoy the social aspect.

The other side of the coin is that solo work - e.g. slinging code - is a lot easier to get done at home with fewer distractions.

All that said, if my choice is between the extremes of mandatory RTA and full-time WFH, I pick full-time WFH ten times out of ten.
Why does thinking require consciousness? This just seems like goalpost-moving. A few years ago, if someone gave you a transcript of a GPT-4 conversation, you'd definitely say it thinks, but now "it's not thinking without consciousness" and "it's not thinking unless it learns continuously".

By that reasoning, we die when we sleep.
F-16 questions remain as Ukrainian pilots set to start training this month
Congrats on the YC funding and the launch! I've enjoyed building https://www.blocknotejs.org on top of TipTap / Prosemirror.

fyi, BlockNote aims to be a bit more batteries-included (comes with UI and block-based editing) - in case headless text-editing libraries are a bit too much work / steep learning curve.
I've used all sorts of sit/stand desks and chair & swiss balls in all sorts of combos, but I've learned over time that I prefer a static height desk and a padded piano bench to sit on. Sitting on a bench rather than a chair with a back encourages much better posture [for me]. It also encourages me to get up and move around more because it's trivially easy to get up & sit back down from any angle.

Virtual meeting platforms: Webex is by far the worst. Zoom is amazingly clunky given how much money they have to spend on it, but at least it generally works across various desktop & mobile environments. Meet is the most basic, but it "just works", and the features on web & mobile are identical (unlike some of the options). It also seems to have been undergoing the most consistent feature development over the past 18mo. Teams is perfectly fine on desktop if you're already bought into O365, but it's hot garbage from ChromeOS or if you're a guest.

Collaboration/productivity software for enterprise: O365 contains too many products, is too complicated, and afaict, nobody actually knows which is the right tool for the job. If it was just Word/PowerPoint/Excel/Access/Outlook + Teams it would be fine, but add in Sharepoint/Viva/OneNote/OneDrive/Forms/PowerBI/Publisher/Project/Bookings/Planner/Visio and nobody knows which tool is the right one for the job. Google Workspace can't hold a candle to Word/PowerPoint/Excel but arguably is much easier for normal people to grok. Trying to find files at an O365-using company is nearly impossible.
that functionality is pretty useful -- we use hidden refs (but more garden variety, pointing to commits) for all sorts of things, such as source revision for every CI run and past revisions of PRs.

Works really great -- the UI is not cluttered with thousands of rarely-used entries, but all the data is still backed up and usable witth git tools. Now if only github actions could support this...
or just stick it outside in a heat dome? don't you have one near you?
Yes I totally agree. When businesses push for going cashless, they are often doing it to claw back the tips customers are giving their workers.

Tips that have become customary because it's become accepted that a waiter mustn't be paid a living wage. Why has it become accepted, because we have a hidden caste system.

But the customers get to feel cool to frequent a place that 'gets it' because cash is or old people.
Mercury exists everywhere in the biosphere, it is impossible to clean up.
Lead exists everywhere in the biosphere, it is impossible to clean up.
Freon exists everywhere in the biosphere, it is impossible to clean up.
Plastic exists everywhere in the biosphere, it is impossible to clean up.
CO2 exists everywhere in the biosphere, it is impossible to clean up.

If we declare the situation hopeless then nothing will change.
A question that arises, how good is chemical vapor deposition (albeit a very expensive way and hence for labwork only) in creating a pure sample with proper Cu substitutions?
There's probably other similar chemistries that also super conduct at room temperature. Call it the marching tetrahedra of super conductors.
Is there a web extension to automatically opt out of all these? It should be some global browser config, not per site.

I don’t even use an adblocker normally, but the cookie banners are insanely annoying.
Thanks for the clarification! Yes, I see now that auto-evals here is more AI agent-ish, than a one-shot approach. Still has the trust issue.

For suggestions, one thing I'm curious about is how we can have out-of-the-box benchmark datasets and do this responsibly. ChainForge supports most OpenAI evals, but from adding this we realized the quality of OpenAI Evals is really _sketchy_... duplicate data, questionable metrics, etc. OpenAI has shown that trusting the community to make benchmarks is perhaps not a good idea; we should instead make it easier for scientists/engineers to upload their benchmarks and make it easier for others to run them. That's one thought, anyway.
How much did you pay for Oracle? Is it a one time payment or annual?
The widespread consensus among experts who have done DFT is that the preprint doesn't add anything to how they feel about LK-99. https://twitter.com/alexkaplan0/status/1686392015217741825 sums it up: Griffin's paper is neither proof of superconductivity nor even a very strong signal of it. Flat bands can mean many things; in fact, the crystal structure Griffin assumes may have been selected due to their likelihood.

CMTC says the Griffin paper doesn't really shift anything and they still believe replication is unlikely:

We initially had a pull-based query engine in ClickHouse, but then migrated to a dataflow graph query engine: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/blob/master/src/Pro...

It allows decoupling of the control flow and the data flow. The movement of the data in the query pipeline is controlled explicitly.

We did this migration a few years ago. Many database engines forked or influenced by ClickHouse still use pull-based query engines.
That footnote has a “won’t be big and professional like GNU” feeling to it.
For something close to home, imagine a gaming laptop that runs on full performance mode without generating any heat. Imagine datacenters running full workloads without needing cooling.

Electromagnets are built with coils of copper magnet wire - an efficient conductor but generates waste heat - what if we could build those electromagnets with zero resistance? Electric motors become very exciting. The electrical <-> mechanical relationship gets transformed.

We use electricity for everything, so it's hard to communicate the extent of the revolution. People keep bringing up MRI machines because they're on the ragged edge of electromagnet usage constrained by cooling.
Maybe you can help here, I was completely lost in terms of the Iris (Russian Cat Girl) mention of, "engineering conductivity pili of bacteria into the superconductors" is this a reference to nano scale bio engineering or a means of reliable replication of the superconducting structure itself?

Or is this just nonsense? https://twitter.com/iris_IGB/status/1685322871306928128
My partner and I opted not to purchase a car for much the same reason, it just turned out that hiring a driver or renting a car would cost us less than the monthly costs of ownership.
Ya, was even thinking the other day that I should just toss a few glass containers in my backpack when I'm going out to restaurants. I usually carry a backpack anyways, I'm not sure there's much value in me carting away leftovers in disposable containers. The amount of plastic everywhere is staggering when you start to take it into account every time you toss a piece of it out.

Depends on your data and how it needs to be modeled and used, imo. If it’s sparse and interconnected then obviously SQL makes a lot of sense. But for data that is very document-like e.g. 10Ks you’d get from SEC EDGAR, then document based is suitable. I’ve found even with relational databases, sometimes you need to denormalize the data a bit to achieve performance benchmarks for complex queries, and there’s a tipping point where you may want to sync your data into something document-based like Elasticsearch to get improved search capabilities, too.
I see, it seems your objection is to the ARM PSA document - I'm not familiar with it but it seems that it is targeted towards IoT devices. I also don't want permanent fingerprinting, but I think it is a question orthogonal to remote attestation in general. All the tech is already out there and we can push back on specific uses; for example, the Estonian e-ID provides similar permanent fingerprinting _and association with a human_, but seems to be pretty popular among their citizens.

On the other hand, the RATS architecture doc has several reference use cases which are useful and limited: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9334.html#name-reference-u... . I think these are worth pursuing.

‘Silent killer’: experts warn of record US deaths from extreme heat
Weapons.

Energy weapons are still mostly science fiction right now. This changes that. Energy storage increases by an order of magnitude and with no resistance you can charge and discharge batteries instantaneously.

Probably some other really interesting uses, but energy weapons is what we'll figure out first. And not just giant ship mounted rail guns—if true this will start a new arms race for personal handheld weapons. No more gunpowder. Think rifles with almost no maintenance. Outrageous magazine capacity with shot capacity limited only by energy storage capacity… which can easily and quickly be resupplied if you are behind a supply line.

If this is real you'll seen an untethered Boston Dynamics Atlas with a 7-minute runtime and a placeholder handheld railgun by year's end. That will kick off a series of RFPs, and in 3-5 years… real life Terminators baby. While we take refuge under the rubble we'll hear them chanting above us, "Hello, I'm calling about your car's extended warranty."
At this point this would be quite the opposite of the Michael Burry “nobody saw this coming” inspired short if real estate. I wouldn’t bother.

"Anti-hate researchers" - strong scare quotes required here. This is just a political org masquerading as a research group.
It's funny, I actually prefer Redux + Thunks the "hard way" (not RTK). I find it's far easier to reason with the state, transitions and events that way. It takes a bit more cognitive overhead getting started, but the complexity doesn't grow as features do.
What are the benefits of categorizing software this way? Does this help in forming preferences?
No need to apologize for other people's bad behavior. Craft beer doesn't have more snobs than any other group of passionate people-- certainly not more than fancy food-- but the nerdy one-upsmanship is much more prevalent. I think for some of these guys it's their equivalent to trash talking about sports or other kinds of fandom, and for others, it's a way to quell insecurity about their own knowledge level in a realm that they consider competitive.

I worked in bars and restaurants as a side gig for about 15 years and full-time for a few so the sheer number of people I've encountered naturally means I'll have encountered more dinks than most. And because of my food/bev-industry-heavy social set, I've spent quite a lot of time in the more "serious" craft beer bars, and those are magnets for that type. That said, I've also spent a ton of time in high-end restaurants and wine bars and never had anyone make snide comments about, say, ordering a more straightforward wine or a cheeseburger (but in kitchens, I've definitely heard chefs talk shit about people ordering burgers... mostly because they're frustrated more people aren't trying their more creative offerings. And then they go home and eat hot pockets for dinner.) And most sommeliers I've encountered are so worried about coming across like snobs that they almost overcompensate.
As someone who prefers Linux, tolerates Windows, and has never used MacOS, I'm curious to hear why you regret MacOS.
animals and other living things are sensitive to electrical charge in a way that we are not -- sounds more like a useful industrial application, not something to add to a home.
I saw a video the other day that pointed out that the breakdown current for their sample was 260 mA. Now there's a lot of things you can do with 260mA, but I don't believe high-tesla electromagnets are in that list, so no MRIs, no fusion, and probably no electromotive devices (generators, motors).

I am a highly-experienced polyglot engineer looking for a good company with good engineering culture.
I've had sales jobs. I worked 3 hours a day, make a lot of phonecalls, and did power lunches twice a month.

This was retail, and for calendars. I was a seasonal hire and had no more information about the product than the customer did, nor did I get any commission or incentive if I sold or didn't sell.
