const query = SQL`SELECT * FROM books`
if (params.name) {
query.append(SQL` WHERE name = ${params.name}`)
}
query.append(SQL` LIMIT 10 OFFSET ${params.offset || 0}`)

or if you need raw values like a table name then just pass append a string.

It's devastating to see comments like this downvoted. Sure, maybe the tone could be improved, could be perhaps less arrogant or judgemental, or maybe whiny. I don't know what the downvoters thought. But I hope people realize how extremely precarious of a position we're in as species. To live sustainably on this planet we all must be asking these questions, whether space travel -- or, suborbital flight tourism -- is in the budget.

If you actually want more sales you probably want to know a bit about where they came from. To know which efforts are bringing in customers. Basic marketing.
Not quite. :) The Conorde flew at 60,000 ft and modern corporate jets can get up to 50,000ft.

For comparison, the SR-71 flew at 85,000 ft.

Mathematicians have been working on that for over 160 years. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_hypothesis#Numerical_c....

Fun quote (at least for me) from that page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riemann_hypothesis#Littlewood'...:

“It has been computed that π(x) < li(x) for all x ≤ 10²⁵ (see this table)”
I'm reminded of a famous experiment in physics history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelson%E2%80%93Morley_exper....

Similarly, the experiment was done with the intention of proving something that is widely believed to be true (I mean, obviously light travels through something) only to undeniably disprove it.
I love that first banner/last photo "46th Street, New York City, 1976" - in fact I have a print in my dining room that Joel traded me for hosting his first Web site back in the 1990s.

As a hiring manager who looks at a lot of resumes, I think your hunch is correct. I see a lot of junior to mid-level developers that primarily work in JS/TS/React. That market is heavily saturated and I regularly read posts on LinkedIn from these people about how difficult it is to find a job.

The candidates that stand out from the pack are those with some tangible production backend experience in languages like C#, Java, etc., combined with SQL experience. Strictly in terms of marketability, I do believe getting real-world backend experience greatly increases your value.

Scientists are also pretty lousy at making new discoveries without labs. They just need training data.

I think part of it is the constant drive to add features – sure, we can do chat and video! But, what if we put background blurring in there? Crap, Zoom has polls, we'll have to add polls now... well, shoot, if we're cranking out features like this and iterating quickly, we might as well use Electron.

Evidently I typo'd million where I wanted billion?

Either that, or else I have a problem with metric of my own.

If it was cubic mils in a cubic furlong, I'd never have made that typo.

Metric makes you careless and lazy. :)

So right, a one micron particle is a billion (10^9) times lighter than a millimeter (1000 micron) particle of the same density and shape.

It's a big spread.

The small particles will behave differently and get into different places from the large ones. The micron ones can pass through some membranes that the 1000 microns obviously cannot.
I don’t think your point is being communicated very clearly.
Ha! I lived in Germany for three years, across the street from a bakery. It was shocking to me that they didn't want to serve coffee 'to go'

German bread is excellent. I prefer my sourdough, but I haven't been to Germany in nearly 20 years, so perhaps my memory is rusty.
Even aside from altitude and orbital vs sub-orbital, the term astronauts needs to refer to people who made a career out of going into and working in and with space flight. The people who pay money to go for a visit are tourists, nothing more. You wouldn't call someone who takes a 7-day cruise a sailor.
Very poor point. The entire point of creating a company that wants to operate in this market is to invest in it, make it more efficient and "space tourism" more accessible. It costs a kidney (or a billionaire's savings) now but surely their business plan is for more people to buy their product.
Well, there is no real way to disprove it and there is no solid proof where it actually came from.

Fundamentally it sounds like you built an ML model(s) and are trying to monetize it behind an API. How does that work medium-term? Are you expecting there won't be open source alternatives, is your value in hosting the model (and if so will you open source yours) or is there another angle. I've built ML models and looked into how to monetize them, and overall it seems like a tough play without the model being part of some bigger thing that has more of a moat. What are your thoughts?
That's interesting.

I know not everyone is in position to pick and choose between jobs, but frequently you can improve your "it situation" a lot if you raise it during recruitment.

I recently started working for a (large) company that gave me a Linux laptop(I wfh 100%), 99% of their staff uses windows. It uses cisco vpn and a simple script to block all traffic if the vpn is off (once vpn is on, local traffic is allowed). The machine runs a rhel based distro, all public repos are disabled and "the it" maintains only approved packages. Interestingly, I can use sudo, but I have to write justification for every use. There is full disk encryption, but I'm no aware of any "activity monitoring" other than outgoing internet traffic.

Prior to this, the company I worked for gave me a windows laptop. I had Admin rights on it too.

During my recent search for new work I spoke with a company that seemed a great fit. Until they told me they log hours worked by tracking keyboard/mouse/recording screen use. "for client accounting reasons". To my objection that if a client agrees certain job is worth 4h to them, who cares if I do it in 1h they said they have to use this model. I declined to work with them and I got a different offer. I'd hate to have a job where I'm incentivised to work slower not faster.

> Why would anyone need a music label when they can release everything on Youtube or Tiktok by themselves?

And how would they differentiate themselves from the fifty million other people who are doing the same thing on YouTube?

Labels have historically provided assistance with recording and marketing, in exchange for the lion's share of the bounty. Recording may have gotten easier, but the gap between the skills of a musician, and a marketer is still here.

I'm not saying the economics of the past were great, but the economics of the present aren't, either.

Huh? That's strange. A deep dive is always important.

> the context was that it was immediately after the people of Ukraine drove out their former Russian-aligned leader

This is a media-like description of what happened there. From the perspective of the law, it doesn't matter (and therefore should not be even mentioned) whether the leader was Russian-aligned or not. You are not trying to understand the issue, but simply reiterating on what they say in the mainstream media. I'm Ukrainian btw.

> unless Christian's god created the moon with initial velocity

If God can create matter and energy ex nihilo, why would He have any difficulty with setting a moon in motion to have a stable orbit? This feels like arguing that humans break the laws of physics every time we lift an object and throw it.
Are you saying you're worried about communism?
sigh. Ok, let me explain why this attitude is not just stupid, but evil.

It's stupid because it's simply text completion on a GPT-2 level. There's already an association between space travel and carbon, so you hear space travel and just go "yes, but global warming". No thought was put in either acquiring the association in the first place, nor in deciding if this is a good moment to use it. And definitely no fact checking.

It's a mix of stupid and evil because this kind of text completion turns the public discourse in an echo chamber of unproductive repetitions, which creates the strangest of paradoxes - like the more climate concerned somebody is, the more likely they are to be against nuclear power. This never happened because anybody made the case for nuclear being bad for climate and people actually believing this claim. There was no case and no claim in the first place - just GPT-2 style reflexes and blind associations. Space tourism bad, bio-fuel good.

And it's plain evil because it assumes that we should only dare to dream if we follow the current orthodoxy. It's not even something like "in order to dream we should make sure survival is ensured", because it was never about doing the math or actual tradeoffs. It's simply that some dreams are being painted as dirty and we shouldn't be allowed to have them, ever.
This is precisely what large companies in the US do, they gain an advantage, then when the advantage is threatened, they use every tool at their disposal, including political lobbying, to keep their advantage.

This is done under the guise of preserving shareholder value.
So what if it's usually bad?
> No idea. Should I care?

It really depends if you want to go to a second meal with your wife or not. But if you are selling something, knowing who your customers are and how you can reach them to let them know about your product is the absolute basic you need to get right before thinking about promoting it.

Just skimming the regulations, I don't believe that it would qualify as a 501(c)3 as they don't receive "broad public support" [1] whereas the criteria for a 501(c)6 match exactly with their goals. Additionally the (c)6 allows for political activity related to the purpose of the organization, which seems like a good ability given the current intersection of politics, regulation, and tech. [2]

I'm not sure what you mean by "incentives". Perhaps you could elaborate.

> which is more reflective of real world video conferencing use cases

What's more reflective of real world use cases is a hot discussion topic. :)

The "networkQuality" tool on macOS and other implementations(1) of the "RPM" algorithm(2) are very good to see how an Internet connection behaves under high stress. But the real world is seldom high stress (100Mbps+ connections are rarely pushed to the limit, honestly).

In your example, video conferencing indeed does simulataneous upload and download, but it's also low bandwidth (relatively speaking) and doesn't usually come close to saturating a connection. It can impacted by other traffic in the same connection though.

Which can come from a single user, or multiple users sharing the same connection. And neither networkQuality nor Cloudflare's speed test measure how a connection behaves with multiple users stressing a connection.

In the end, which tool you use depends on what you're trying to measure. For me, the Cloudflare speed test is closer to measuring what I experience in real world use.

Can you detail the years of study after your completion of the BA that enabled you to be awarded the MA? Or is this a "free" MA indicating "seniority"?

If it's the latter, then that's deliberately misleading to keep referencing it as if it were a normal MA. I do appreciate your efforts with the open source models though.
I would not recommend this unless you would consider yourself experienced and best in class in marketing music, or you'd like to use this project as a way to do a deep dive into those skills. The competition is fierce and the market is saturated, so you want to be honest with what you're getting yourself into. On the flip side, it's never been easier to connect with audiences, so if you like what you're working on and you get energized by the grind of audience building, I think you can have a lot of fun and maybe even find some traction.

Pretty common in the US verses the EU/UK. The basic middle income set would be:

A checking account
A savings account (might be at the same institution as the checking, might not)

From your employment you may have.

- A 401k Account
- A Health Savings Account (HSA)
- A Health Flexible spending account

These will be at whatever institution your employer uses. As these change every time you change jobs you might have multiples of these in play unless you are diligent in rolling over and closing old accounts.

You also might have:

- Individual Retirement Account (possibly two, one Roth, non-Roth)
- College Savings Account (if you have kids and want save for collage in a tax friendly way)
- Money Market/Broker account for stocks etc.

If you live in a community property state then you probably have a second set of some these so you that you don't mix individual assets with community assets.

Market consolidation has made it easier to go with an single provider for a lot of the above, but it's still busy work keeping on top of everything.
I misspoke, but you understood what I meant so no harm was done.
TL;DR This might work - but it will be like watching Groundhog Day. It will require many iterations, make too many mistakes to get there and won’t remember a thing.

My naive understanding of layers in a model is that each layer loosely acts as an expert in one step of the entire process.

For example, in an object recognition model, one layer takes on the task of separating objects from the background, another excels at knowing the colour of different things, another might learn the difference between a blue sky vs. the colour sky blue.

So essentially, we’re trying to mimic the same working model at a higher level of abstraction. Similar to how our body is made of atoms. Many atoms make a molecule. Many molecules make organic tissue, and amino acids that perform more complex operations. Skip all the way up and you have a human being. Human beings in numbers can put a man on the moon, create anti-matter and nuclear explosions.

In theory - this can work just as well. One agent to provide a solution, another to critique it, another to verify it, another to mimic the end-user. The big obvious missing piece is memory and the ability to learn while doing (at least in existing LLMs).

It’s like having a software development team that’s frozen in time and knowledge. These LLM agents will always require some micromanagement and hand holding, and will waste a lot of resources with failed attempts - that they are going to repeat every time you ask them to perform this task.
I know nothing about physics, but just finding that an orbit isn't that if a body has an elliptic orbit means it is accelerating and decelerating constantly depending where it is in the orbit?

I guess it's quite easy to measure periapsis and apoapsis even for stars or planets that have a nearly circular orbit.
My experience doing a part-time philosophy degree alongside a full-time job
I worked at a bank that had a windows-based trading system and for some reason created folders to hold the details of each book. There were issues when a trader decided to call a book "LPT1".
A few years ago I read a book called "Listen Liberal." It was a book written by liberals, for liberals.

One of the criticisms it made of the Obama Administration's cabinet was that it was far too heavy in choosing Ivy-League graduates. The book pointed out that the cabinet was racially / ethnically diverse, but because the vast majority of the cabinet was Ivy-League educated, it had all of the biases that come with an Ivy-League education.

I don't think Harvard is the problem: They are an organization that exists, and the selection criteria they use is to choose people who they believe will graduate. Granted, someone could argue that they should take more risks on applicants, but that's not my argument to make.

In part, the value of these institutions is that they are exclusive. Many people argue that the advantage of an Ivy League education, compared to an equivalent, less exclusive school, is the people you meet while on campus. This difference can only be maintained if the schools maintain their selection criteria.

I think the bigger problem is that far too many people / organizations put too much weight on an Ivy League education. It's generally unobtainable, even if you "check the boxes," because these schools get far more applicants than they can ever accept. Which is why I don't want to argue that they should change their selection criteria: Who is to say what is the best selection criteria? Everyone will try to argue that it should be changed in a way to benefit the person making the argument.

IMO: We need some new institutions to displace the Ivy League as the "best." Perhaps, if there are enough schools with differently selective admission criteria, everyone will be able to find a selective school that they can get into?

The Bachelors program via the extension school very much is "going to Harvard" college, and taking the same classes alongside students who were admitted the traditional way.

There are many institutions for this that have been around for longer than you and I have been alive. Most of which I've been able to contribute at a regional level due to having time not commuting or being drained from being in an office all day

Local meetups, sports clubs, classes, hobby clubs (think board games, chess, ham radio, LARP), conventions, church if you're religiously inclined

And with the advent of the internet, there are forums, if not large social media groups, for all kinds of interests designed around connecting people. For example, I'm really into homebrewing consoles, so I'm in a few discord servers with others who share the same interests, and I like playing certain games online, so I keep contact with a few good people who I play with regularly

If all else fails, I find that most people get at least one acquaintance during their school years or still have family of some sort. Definitely ymmv if they were toxic in any way, but if not, you already have a foot in the door for maintaining a healthy connection to them

I apologize if this post sounds condescending or like I'm just preaching common sense, but sometimes it's easy to take these kinds of social groups for granted or overlook them in our hyperdigital age. There's so much toxic irony growing up as a millenial on the internet that made me think 'I'll never be like those losers' as a teen that evolved into 'Wow, they had it figured out all along' as an adult

It’s the same folk-interpretation of Marxism that always goes around. Now that Marxism is dead and can’t defend itself, it’s whatever anyone wants it to be.

States that were far closer to Marxism, like the PRC during the Cultural Revolution, decimated their universities and dispersed their faculties over the countryside, or to labor camps.
