I think it's not a garden-path sentence because the sentence would be grammatically correct in the prehistoric/rainforest parse and even make some sort of sense.

Of course the meaning would be extremely weird - why would a prehistoric woman be buried with grave goods she refused and how would we even be able to know? - but I've honestly on par with the headlines and articles often posted here.

I'd definitely read it.

I occasionally ponder on how frustrating it is that the deceased don't get to hear their eulogies. It would have been amazing for Bram to have been able to experience all the outpouring of support and love from people he is interacted with during his life. Especially in a context where the speakers aren't considering him as an audience -- they're sharing their deep and true feelings.

No one can really be sure how their acquaintances feel about them. Eulogies are the closest we get. Imagine if he were able to hear all these great things said about him... It would be such a joy.

The UK on its way towards becoming like China. I thought I would never have to use VPNs again after leaving but oh well.

Notes from my 5 years in China:
- Use a protocol like trojan-gfw over cloudflare. It 1: hides the fact that you’re using a VPN and looks like normal https traffic, 2: Is open source and the Trojan-go/v2ray repositories are well tested in nightmarish environments like China. 3: Cloudfare obscures the IP address of your server from the government.
- You can have your server use something like Mullvad so that your traffic blends into the crowd (of customers)
- Always have an emergency protocol that is unlikely to get blocked. I wrote my own custom implementation of HTTPS over DNS for when they decide to cut off general internet access to sites outside the country. (Happens every month or so for a few days)
- For messaging, use a fully open source & end to end encrypted & federated protocol that you can self host. Matrix.org is blocked in China but self hosting still allows you to contact people on the main server.
So, I tried out pytype the other day, and it was a not a good experience. It doesn't support PEP 420 (implicit namespace packages), which means you have to litter __init__.py files everywhere, or it will create filename collisions. See https://github.com/google/pytype/issues/198 for more information. I've since started testing out pyre.

Answer: "So, for us YC was a no-brainer."
Nothing wrong with this imo. I actually hope more open source projects start with a business source license if their ultimate goal is to become a SaaS platform.

I think we've seen time and time again large enterprises abusing the spirit of open source for their own monetary gain, contributing nothing back, and just acting in bad faith.
As some one who only uses vim/neovim in a terminal window - what’s the advantage of having GUI support in vim?

For the sake of clarity, even though it's not super important - we rent the entire second floor out. It's about 450sqft - an apartment, albeit a small one for sure. We live on the 3rd floor (1100sqft). We almost never even see our guests.

As mentioned, they weren't bugs but multiple planned breakages.

IMHO, Python devs learned the wrong lesson from the 2 --> 3 transition. Should have been, "minimize big breaks." Instead they learned, "make lots of small breaks spread out evenly and avoid X.0 releases." The result is that planning around deprecation (always be breaking) is untenable for enterprise-style development.
> Part of the issue here is posting a LessWrong post. There is some good in there, but much of that site is like a Flat Earth conspiracy theory for neural networks.

I have always found it a fun paradox that some people, you for example, claim the earth is not overpopulated.

It's really not a paradox. Its a naive claim.

The facts being that humans consume and exploit the earth to a degree which destroys it is a - like i said fact - pretty well established.

Sure the earth might hold 10 billion people. But that's not really how to look at it.

No one in the western world will retract from their consumption levels in order to save the earth. Therfore we cannot be 8 billion and say we are not too many.

The western world is doomed as you know it if we are to survive here. And tech is not saving your ass, tech fucked us all over in the first place. Think about how people really believe riding a fucking electric vehicle is good for the planet. Wtf is wrong with people?

But you will perhaps like to live in the forest, eat only local foods and stop driving cars, having no fridge, no running water and wait for the shit to cool down. Of course you won't.

So you really have to be blind not to see we are way to many people.

Call me troll all tou want.
It's been a while since you can rerun/resume Nextflow pipelines, and yes, you can have dry runs in Nextflow. I have no idea what you're referring to with the 'arbitrary limit of 1000 parallel jobs' though.

> and housing is an important component of dealing with a significant set of behavioral health issues.

Why? Or more appropriately, do you have a reference to backup this assertion?
That's a pretty famous clip -- it's from The Last Waltz, if I'm not mistaken -- but I first heard it on Clapton's 1988 career-retrospective box set Crossroads. Back then, the video was harder to come by, so my fellow guitar-nerds and I didn't actually realize the hows or whys of the handoff until years later.

You can actually SEE that the strap was in a precarious position in the clip (it's clear at like 45s). Straps in that era didn't have strap locks. It'd just be a chunky post in the guitar, and a leather tab at the end of your strap you'd force over it. In a normal orientation, it'd be secure ENOUGH, but as shown it's been flipped over, which means the weight of the guitar itself is pushing on it in a way that will absolutely cause the guitar to slip out of it.
> precisely zero examples of how shared data from your car has been used to harm you specifically.

That might be because I never made such an assertion.

> You claim "years of examples" but you have literally nothing specific

I'm specifically referring to years of data collection by companies without consent. Typically for marketing or other monetization purposes.

> You fear new technology because it is unfamiliar to you, and that is the very definition of luddite.

Another personal attack. You don't know me. Everyone who does would be laughing at how ridiculous this assertion is. I very strongly embrace new technology (and the tech we're talking about here isn't actually all that new) and I'm very familiar with it. I even develop some of it. My house, my car, and even what I carry with me is riddled with high tech stuff. I am the opposite of a luddite.

You're making a whole lot of incorrect assumptions about me here. And it's odd that you do, because it would be so easy to talk to me about what I'm actually saying rather than building a straw man representing me in your mind so you can attack it.

gas is also incredibly wasteful. the efficiency of a resistive element stove is in the 80-90% range while for gas, it is in the 20s if you are lucky. most of the heat in a gas stove is lost to the environment.

Or why not just hire more faculty and start up more sections? The students are paying huge tuition bills. Why can't they get the courses they want?

This is why I often tell everyone, not just high school students, to consider other marketplaces for information like uDemy or Coursera or any of the dozens of upstarts. They're sooo much better than old school universities because they're not designed to enforce artificial scarcity. There's no bogus song and dance for the admissions department and after that there's no limit on how many people can take the course. This is what the digital world has to offer and we should celebrate the unlimited access to knowledge.

The issue with HUD is it doesn't define a house. Is it a room you can rent? A studio, 1bd, free standing home? What is weird to me is we use different definitions on what is acceptable by area instead of what human needs we have. In Texas a studio might be small but in NYC it is a luxury.

I'd argue it's the least valuable data. They can't look at it, they have regulatory, legal and contractual commitments to protect it, they have paying customers that will be very angry if it's lost or unavailable, and yet they can't mine it or train models with it or monetize it.

It was the early 2000s IIRC. New York was one of the first (if not the first) states in the Union to introduce the requirement. At the time Vermont did not have the requirement so we used to drive over there to buy our smokes. The only thing on the packaging that indicated the difference was a little black bar above the UPC on the packs sold in New York (at least for the brand I bought).
Well, if the study had found no significant correlation, that would have been interesting information. I'll still applaud the researchers on this one.

In real life, though, that specialist with 10 years experience has a 2 year waiting list for new patients, and you wouldn't even get in to see them anyway, because they don't take your health insurance.

Meanwhile, the "100 high school students" on a mobile phone are the only medical consultation someone in Sub-Saharan Africa or Southern Asia is going to have access to at all.

"Why Not Both" would surely apply here. Maybe we can't give everyone access to a kind, caring, patient human doctor; but we sure can make coming in second place a lot less painful.

I had thought about this and had amended this to "in most cases" before you posted.

If the standard of care is removing the appendix, and you have a strong reason to believe that something less may be superior, you may be able to conduct a randomized trial.

But any other combination of facts is going to be hard for an IRB to swallow.
If this is really a win (see other posts - I question that), then solar panels can be made with integrated pipes for the cooling, and pumps that will last. We can even make a wire/water pipe all in one unit so you just have one connector to install. The pump likewise can be combined with other parts you have to have. All of this will reduce costs for this.

Again, I question if the ROI can be good enough to be worth it, but if it really is a win there are lots of options to reduce costs.

When I had my panels installed, I had the option to "embed" them, rather than have them mounted over the top of the roof tiles.

I chose over the top for three reasons:

1) ease of replacement, panel dimensions change, so getting a new panel the right size in the future could be hard.

2) faff. Getting the roofer to talk to the solar people and agree on dimensions would have been expensive and time consuming. Assuming that they would actually agree to do it.

3) Thermal bridge. Because there is an airgap between the panels and the roof, I get a radiative barrier between my roof and the sun.

combined electric and thermal panels seem like a grand idea, and perhaps I might get some in the future (not inside 10 years though) But, having them as your roof tiles I'm less keen on. It makes the MPPT less efficient and there are more connectors.

for over roof type panels though, I think they are a slam dunk.

RE: 9000 --All of the non-Alpha VAXes from the 8000 onwards were to support cash flow during the planned transition to what would become Alpha. I should say that is a generalization as I'm totally certain some non-Alpha systems were still needed for solutions that utilized custom hardware or support.

RE: "weird capitalization" - "Board" was capitalized because I was referencing a specific board of directors. "Blue blood" was not capitalized because I was characterizing the members of said board. The relevance of making that characterization was to emphasize that those board members were under INTENSE pressure from their peers/ancestors/descendants to achieve at least the level of success that they were all observing coming from Redmond, especially the younger members of their dynasties. I think they were fine with a Pinto-driving living legend like Ken and his armada of actual geniuses (not Geniuses) until Redmond got going. Then FOMO didn't even begin to describe what they were experiencing as "some geeky guy" made hundreds of billions of dollars and became the wealthiest man on Earth, right under their noses. (They've ensured that can never happen again, but I get my account here Closed if I tell how they did it.)

RE: 286/386/486 was the end of the original Intel X86 line (without Alpha-infused technology). They were in various stages of being knocked off by Chinese companies like VIA. Microsoft was porting NT away from that ISA (onto MIPS). Pentium came out of left field and scaled like crazy. I'm not sure if/when it's fair to stop attributing Alpha technology to the success of X86.

RE: "killing it" --NT on even a Pentium III was no match for a VAXcluster. A network of NT boxes interconnected by "field technicians" into a LAN was. (A "field technician" of that era would have trouble interconnecting VAXes --but they had more than ample capability to setup NetWare and NETBIOS networks in the most unusual ways and places.) In this way, it can be said that WindowsNT (and the budget it gained from legacy NetWare installations) literally connected the VAX to death, not unlike what VAX had been doing to IBM mainframes (and their clones) for sometime.
