I have no better data for the broad claim than the claim itself, but IIUC LA only has B and D lines for subway, and those are <23 miles total. Given they opened over 20 years ago I find it hard to see where LA would have built >20 miles of subway. I skimmed the pages for the lines and don't think they've expanded at all in that time, in terms of underground miles. I assume TBC's figure doesn't include work still under construction.

Happy to be corrected, my numbers are best-effort.

My wife and I made a robot for our wedding to be the "flower girl" and "ring bearer". In the months leading up to the wedding, we realized we hadn't asked any of the nieces or nephews and that we wanted to add something unique to our wedding. She's a mechanical engineer and I'm a software engineer with electronics experience, so we threw something together. My only regret is that we didn't get the robot on camera during the wedding because it worked so great!

Bizarre.

It’s actually a bit of a trap - if you are caught using secondary devices, it speaks to intent. Similarly, when you deposit money at a bank and they ask you to certify these are not proceeds of a crime: they aren’t expecting to catch people at that step. But if they catch you later, boom you defrauded a bank by lying and have additional charges.

I don't know. I find both Tolkien and GRRM excellent, but very different. I think it's easy to sell hating on GRRM as a smart take because of the popularity and spectacle of the TV show, but the books were very popular before the show came out.

GRRM cut his teeth as a TV writer and (because of that | despite that) he understands story very well. At least through the first four books his plotting was impeccable, his characters had meaningful arcs, he built excellent tension and resolution and his use of dramatic irony was perfect. His writing was never clumsy and lacked the purple quality that's prevalent in most fantasy. Is his world building perfect? No, but its top 1% compared to the other garbage fantasy being sold.

Tolkien was after all an academic medievalist, and so it's unsurprising that he gets a lot of stuff right (but he also leaves a lot of bits off stage.)

I'll say it's comparing apples and oranges and I like them both.
Although you'd imagine screenshots would be easy to OCR reliably, it's not guaranteed to get everything correct.

It's not like you can rely on a dictionary to confirm you've correctly OCRed a post by "@4EyedJediO" - who knows if that's an O or a 0 at the end?

Alright, sir. For what it's worth, Godaddy Broker has contacted me in the past to buy this domain name for a client. The same Godaddy that has appraised it at $3,000+ USD. I declined at the time because I was still planning to use it. Furthermore, you would be surprised if you scrolled through the domain name broker sites (even the Godaddy one).

"I've been wondering what might move data scientists to Rust"

I mean, writ large, the answer is "The availability of the ecosystem they need to use daily in Rust, without having to rewrite it themselves." That is more than just a torch replacement, so this won't do it for data scientists, even if Python is ... painful in a lot of ways to productionize or even use.

Maybe it'll get some started on that ecosystem, though, so that a few years from now you see larger movement.

> Such a waste of time trying intently to regulate and control communication.

It's not an overall waste of time, because the goal is to reduce the enormous wastes caused by fraud, crime, and other malfeasance.

I know somebody who worked at a bank. The bank had a mandatory vacation policy: you had to be 100% gone for at least two solid weeks every year. When outsiders heard about this, they were often indignant. Who is the company to tell me how I spend my vacation? I know best when I need to rest. Why are they trying to regulate and control so much?

But the policy was about preventing crime. There are kinds of fraud where one person can keep it going a long time if they're around to fiddle things manually. But a couple of weeks of absence, plus the cross-training that goes with it, can keep those kinds of frauds from ever happening. And when they do happen, they stay much smaller.

As an example of why fighting fraud is vital to a bank, you could look at the failure of Barings Bank. One guy was able to fiddle the accounts to hide his losses, gaining a reputation as a trading genius. He started with a little deception, and it spiraled out of control over the years, eventually destroying a bank that had survived more than two centuries.

When compared with the destruction of the bank, making sure that supervisors can see what an employee is getting up to is a pretty small waste in comparison.

This is lecture/podcast on Barbie, ideology, gender etc. from the perspective of Zizek, Lacan, Freud and Hegel.

When I walked out of the movie, I wanted to discuss the movie through the lens of Hegel, and just yesterday I found such a discussion. Such a discussion is not only a meme to overintellectualize the movie, but arises naturally from the themes as they were presented.

I won't articulate it succinctly, but Barbie liberates the sexless idealized femininity of the "male gaze" by articulating the contradictions of such an existence, and ends by allowing herself not to be a symbol of the perfect woman, but to be just a woman with accepted flaws and humanity. Ken however goes the opposite direction, starts off as imperfect and dependent on Barbie, and ends by knowing he is perfect how he is, separate from Barbie, and believing that he is one with the symbol of the perfect man, ie, that he is kenough.
>I love the idea of Gemini

Yeah, same. I think it's just that so much of the Internet comes to you now (via social feeds, emails, or RSS feed), the idea of surfing to find stuff is mostly dead to us. And you have to fire up a different browser to do it? Just too easy to forget.

There will never be a killer app for Gemini, and pretty much anyone who's good enough to be worth following will never fully commit to the protocol.

I like that it exists, but that's about it.

Ohh I've seen similar situations. I recall wanting to dump a complex shared dev database, to make it easier to test destructive migrations locally in a container with no risk (that particular DBMS didn't support transactional DDL all that well).

The problems started when I realized that it was far too large to be feasible... until I discovered that about 80-90% of all data was log tables, which in my case I could just skip and export everything else instead.

Now, the logging implementation there used the EAV pattern and got somewhat complicated after years of development and maintenance... however it was mostly okay (in addition to some traditional logging into files and logrotate).

That said, personally I'd use either a specialized log aggregation solution, or at the very least would store logs in a completely separate data store, both for resiliency and security reasons.
We used to call it Perl Programmer's Disease: at some point every Perl programmer in the late 1990s wrote a script to send Apache logs to a remote host because doing that was faster than learning how to make Apache log to a remote host directly.

Same foods, same amounts, but the time span was more typical and covered about 14 hours starting with breakfast around 9 in the morning and ending with a small snack around 11 in the evening (though never close to bedtime).

What I do now is to simply compress the same consumption (including the small snack after dinner) so that it fits in a span of 7 hours on average. I'm flexible with it since some days and schedules call for other plans. My goal is not complicated: eat nothing for an unbroken stretch of roughly 16 hours per day.
With more than two participants, real-time peer to peer video needs a lot more bandwidth on your local internet connection, compared with a hub. That's because you need to send your AV stream to all the other participants in separate streams, instead of one stream to the hub. Same for what you receive, as the hub sends you a composite of the current speaker and thumbnail videos of everyone else.

Most people don't have a network at home that can handle, say, sending 50 copies of your AV stream when you're speaking to 50 other participants. With that many, even audio-only is a challenge.

There are some clever p2p relay mechanisms you could use in theory to bring the bandwidth down to not grow as much with number of participants (but still a constant factor more than the hub method), but they would add significant latency. For example your AV is sent to one peer, they send it to the next peer, and so on in a chain or tree. This works well for non-real-time AV like p2p distribution of movies, but not real-time meetings.

If multicast IP worked over the internet at large that would help but it doesn't work. Even if it did it wouldn't be enough for the full-vs-thumbnails continuous renegotiation needed to keep download bandwidth steady, nor could it do per-user quality-vs-rate adaptation.

One of the interesting lessons of the past few years is that supply chain lead times are a thing and policy doesn't just happen because central planning says it should.

So, if there is a bubble in the chip supply pipeline, auto manufacture doesn't happen. If there is undersupply of precursor chemicals it takes a while to make vaccines at scale...

What you are talking about makes me think of the very long lead product that is skilled people. A significant proportion of fab employees are genuinely highly skilled workers who need a specialised physics degree and then additional training in order to optimize yields and things like that.

I think they can build the buildings and buy the machines but unless a lot of Taiwanese are willing to get on a plane and move to the US, it is going to take a long time to be able to replace their labour at the required scale.

I just watched the intro to one of the episodes and the music definitely brought back some memories!

I was left with the feeling that I'd heard the music before in a different context though. It then twigged that it was in another children's TV series, the wonderful Czech cartoon The Mole (Krtek). After a bit of digging I found it was in the Mole and the Rocket (Krtek a raketa) episode. https://youtu.be/LqGqqzTO8MQ?t=213

It turns out that the theme song was composed by Milan Kymlicka, a Czech composer, interesting! And lo and behold, the music for that episode was composed by the same composer! https://en.kinorium.com/390051/episodes/s1e3/

> ROP is very very true to Tolkien themes,

That’s the silliest thing I read today.

For instance attention to detail was a pretty important theme in Tolkien’s works. He was pretty strict about timeframes, military planning etc. in Amazon’s show everyone seems to have a teleportation device, boat hulls breaks the law of physics considering how much stuff you can fit into them and “Galadriel” is the best swimmer in history multiplied by 100…

It pretty much a cheap 90s fantasy tv show with an inflated budget that takes itself way to seriously than it has any right to.
We had this at Amazon and I built it at Okta because it was confounding that the closest thing was pumping things to collectdb or some other service that would immediately disassociate data from it’s request context into silos or have to wade through unstructured splunk logs (I don’t know if splunk structured logs are viable now). It’s extremely satisfying to be able to query request metrics and aggregate on arbitrary nested attributes when dealing with active issues.

It’s probably something I should write about. Even though the idea is not novel, it doesn’t seem to be well supported by any libraries that I’m aware of and causes an impedance mismatch with the ones I knew about several years ago (dropwizard metrics and it’s subsequent derivatives).
First, love your work. Sadly, I don't think this path would work for me as for what I do, I need the selectors as part of the workflow.

Roughly, my end goal is to do a single or multi-shot with the following information HTML differential (could be selectors, xpaths, data regions, differentials of any of the above, etc...), code stacktrace, related code, and prompt.

For this example, let's consider that the flow involves the bot to login to a website. I have selectors for the `.username` and `.password` inputs and then a selector for the login button as `.login-btn`.

1. The site updates their page and changes up all their IDs, but keeps the same structure.
2. The site updates their page and changes up all their IDs, but changes the structure and the form is named something different and is somewhere else in the DOM.
3. many... many other examples.

Trying to figure out how to minimize the tokens, but keep the needed context to regenerate the selectors that are needed to maintain the workflow.
I'd join that.

Once again, and as I already said in the very text you quoted, no one is expecting a "conversation". Maybe you just misunderstood my point? I admit I was being a bit circuitous, there.

I never mentioned anything about their being "lowly", and I'd appreciate you not insinuating such things about me. It's a veiled insult and it's unwarranted and unnecessary.
