The successes generally don't register. The "didn't have a disaster" scenario doesn't tend too get much attention... let alone statistical victories like, "decreased rate of cervical cancer". Hell, unemployment going down decreases mortality rates...

Sure, but the serving size can vary, even between different package sizes of the exact same product, and certainly between different manufacturers.

Overall, humans are dumb and can't (or won't) do math in their heads. Consider the stupid thing with the failed 1/3 lb burger positioned in the market against the 1/4 lb burger ( https://www.snopes.com/news/2022/06/17/third-pound-burger-fr... ).

If one product says "5g fat / serving [serving size: 40g]" and another says "4g fat / serving [serving size: 30g]", many many people will think that the second one has lower fat content.

If these were normalized to 100g, it would be clear that the first has 5/40*100 = 12.5g of fat whereas the second has 4/30*100 = 13.3g of fat.

There's a third class: drugs that were discovered because they caused an effect that was theorized to be related to the actual target by long-disproven ideas of how bodies worked, and that show little or no benefit to the target condition but are still prescribed as they have always been.

We decided that seizures made people sane, created drugs and treatments to spark controlled seizures, then tried to make drugs that seemed similar but didn't cause tardive dyskinesia. Tardive dyskinesia was the only reason these drugs were ever even investigated, but the field somehow still moves forward like a racehorse without a head, claiming effects 10% above placebo.

I'm fascinated by how so many comments here seem to assume that Bankman-Fried is playing some long strategy, when the simplest answer is that he's mentally ill and can't stop himself from engaging in compulsive behaviors, even when he's been appraised of the consequences, repeatedly.
How critical that is, compared to WEI - and more broad problem adopting it entails, namely a single company basically dictating the whole web what it can and cannot do?
I would agree. He was definitely connected, and definitely smart. Anyone would drive in such a position could make a successful company. But he was ruthless and also has no moral compass, so he became a crypto fraudster.
> Zoom today updated both the terms of service and Hashim's blog post...

> According to Hashim's updated blog post, this doesn't reflect a policy change, but it was done "based on customer feedback" to make Zoom's policies "easier to understand.

Someone is wrong here. They say this isn't a policy change but rather a clarification to make the ToS “easier to understand” (how nice of them to dumb it down for us…)

But before it was updated, the Zoom article referenced by Ars [0] previously said [1] that they would be training AI models using customer content - as part of their new “Zoom IQ” feature - if the meeting owner consented to it:

> When you choose to enable Zoom IQ … you will also be presented with a transparent consent process for training our AI models using your customer content.

This wording is now gone and the screenshot of the consent popup has been updated.

So, previously they were very transparently planning to do at least some AI model training with customer content.

And now they say that they are not going to do AI model training at all, and strongly imply that they never intended to in the first place.

There is a real lack of attention to detail in how they've communicated about this topic.

I’m pleased that they’ve changed their terms, but I still get the feeling that they’re not being 100% transparent about this.

I understand the merits of WFH and in-person work. One thing that is however funny is the guilt tripping used by employers who have this straw-man version of a lazy WFH employee, and more so, employers who have a delusion that their workplace is important enough that people need to sacrifice a large portion of their lives just for the opportunity to be there in person.

90% of jobs aren't people's "passions" and have no chance at becoming some big world changing venture. Lots of employers like to delude themselves that their company is some big important, cutting-edge enterprise that's making a real impact in the world. People just work because they need to. Claiming that WFH is bad because you can't bounce ideas off other employees and get into the real world-changing "deep work" is silly because that's just the employer overvaluing the importance of their company. Those companies do exist, but they're in the minority, and employers smart enough to have founded/run those kinds of companies usually are smart enough to see the merits of a hybrid policy.

Cautious.

Many of those web-standards e.g. WebUSB have significant security vectors and have been used in the past to fingerprint devices for advertiser tracking. Also many have impacts on battery life and performance.

Whereas Chrome seems to be getting slower and bloated over time, Safari has remained fast and light-weight.

All the executives want to force full time RTO but of course they come in late (if at all) or leave early whenever they want as nobody monitors their schedule. Rules for thee and not for me.
It might have been, if it hadn't been for the fact that the US leadership at the time didn’t want to fight them at all, it wanted to fight Iraq, and when it turned out that it couldn’t use 9/11 direcrly as an excuse to do so it went to work directly on making that excuse so it could, producing a lingering disaster in Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere instead of getting the job done in Afghanistan.
Thanks for sharing, this really looks promising for what I am looking for.
> If your query can survive against the read-replica (so stale data is at least sometimes acceptable) would you be better off caching results in redis?

Caching adds a lot of complexity. It denormalizes the data, and now you "need to know" when to update the cache. Because "the single source of truth" is no longer maintained, it's easy to accidentally add regressions.

If it's a matter of adding a read replica, that's a much better solution, long-term, because you don't have the effort of "does this query also need to update the cache?"

(I'd think by now there would be a way to expose events in a DB when certain tables are updated; and then (semi) automatically invalidate the cache.)
what, an ejector to parachute the pilots, fuck the passengers? that would be pretty funny. It does save the airline pilot replacement training though. Or maybe an ejector to throw just the bad pilot out?
In my experience, in web apps built on top of ORMs there is often a TON of low hanging fruit for query optimization when database load becomes an issue. Beyond the basics of "do we have N+1 issues", ORMs sometimes just don't generate optimal queries. I wouldn't want to built a complex production web app without an ORM, but being able to eject from it sometimes is key.

Profile real world queries being run in production that use the most resources. Take a look at them. Get a sense of the shape of the tables that they're running against. Sometimes the ORM will be using a join where you actually want a subquery. Sometimes the opposite. Sometimes you'll want to aggregate some results beforehand, or adjust the WHERE conditions in a complex join. I've seen situations where a semi-frequent ORM-generated query was murdering the DB, taking 20+ seconds to run, and with a few minor tweaks it would run in less than a second.

I have always found this refrain about freedom of speech vs freedom from consequences to be grating. I can think of only three categories of things a government can do:

1. Prevent the words from being spoken in the first place. This includes things like gag orders, confiscating computers and internet connections, literally gagging someone, or locking them in jail.

2. Delete the words, once spoken, from the public record.

3. Punish the person for having spoken the words. I.e., the consequences. This includes things like deleting their accounts, placing them in jail, confiscating newspapers, burning books, etc.

When the constitution guarantees freedom of speech, which of these categories of actions do you think it restricts?

IANAL, but my understanding is that the government retains the right to restrict speech through all three categories (for national security, prurient interest, integrity of court trials, etc.), but is broadly restricted from having unabridged power in all of them.

Actually, the terminology and ontology are astonishingly simple. Electromagnetic waves are ripples in the electromagnetic field, which is a collection of 4 real numbers attached to every point in space and time (the four components of the "4-vector potential"). Gravity waves are ripples in the metric tensor field, which is a collection of 10 real numbers attached to every point in space and time (the independent components of a symmetric 4x4 matrix). The laws of gravity and electromagnetism are a differential equation satisfied by these components governing how they fluctuate from place to place and time to time.

Photons are merely quantized ripples in the electromagnetic field (according to quantum mechanics, the momentum and energy in these ripples come in discrete chunks).

It's instructive to wonder what could possibly be a simpler ontology. Perhaps one imagines a "medium" like that of sound, consisting of little atoms of some sort spread throughout spacetime. But then immediately this would beg way more questions: what are the atoms themselves made out of? When neighboring "atoms" are displaced why and how do they affect a given "atom" in order to propagate disturbances? What other properties might these atoms have and what would such a word as "properties" even mean since they are supposed to be the elemental constituents of light/gravity itself?

According to modern physics, none of this: just 4 + 10 = 14 numbers, no substructure whatsoever.

(Of course, there are other fields too, like matter fields and gluon fields and one a necessary part of the whole story is a declaration of what these numbers look like according to different observers, but these features are just elaborations on the basic picture of a collection of numbers attached to events.)
10? perhaps my memory is failing me, but I strongly remember it being 5

Most of these “bosses” would still be caught doubling down on the RTO narrative and threatening people to show up to work.

Bosses with Elon style of management, please take a warning. A weekly email threatening to fire people if they don’t show up in the office 5 days a week only works the first three times you send it. After a while, half the people leave and the other half don’t show up to work anyway daring you to fire them all the while laughing at how ridiculous you sound.
Like everything in politics, I think this is a function of what team you cheer for. If your goal was to come up with an excuse to invade Iraq, that person was an excellent choice. If you’re on the other team, what a clusterfuck.

Then you add in a party system and it gets more complicated. Realistically, you don’t get to be the United States Secretary of Defense (twice) if you’re the kind of person who will ignore the will of the party and whoever is President.
