Basically Ray Kurzweil's argument, he's been saying $1000 worth of compute will be able to match human performance around 2029 for decades now.
Sure, but I don't see how that changes the point at all. Alliances like Fediblock can't exclude you from the fediverse, only from those instances.

I would think that the fediverse would be a thing that you, or anyone who is concerned about deplatforming and censorship, would be very happy about precisely because you can't be deplatformed or silenced on it.

You can join like-minded instances, neutral instances, or even start your own, do whatever you want. You have total freedom of speech. You just don't have the freedom to impose your speech on people who don't want to hear it. Freedom of speech does not in any way imply that you have the right to force others to listen.

Of course Marx is wrong, he's a scientist. The work is never "done". And everyone is ofcourse free to critique the theories - but I find it rather extreme to view his theories as deranged garbage on the level of eugenics or social darwinism.
Well, you're kind of right. Bribery disguised as lobbying is the issue, not lobbying itself.

>Do these things make better art, or just better sell mediocre art?

It's downstream effect.

Who did Kurt Kobain grow up listening to? Chili peppers? Who did Dolly Parton learn from and idolize? I bet they were on polished albums and tours and on the radio. You had to be pretty good to have money invested into you then. Who did the great Jazz artists listen to? Black records were absolutely a thing, and they weren't glued to their phones, they were in clubs and on streets. Country was far more from campfires after a long day because it didn't make sense to try and ride back home, now you GPS tag the cattle and take the four wheelers out, be back in an hour no one is sitting around.

Some kid in Seattle is probably out there with a lot of talent and a lot to say... With no one great of his generation to learn from. Just a higher quantity of blah music than at any point in history.

It is honestly baffling, totally baffling to me that in this day and age there are companies that don't use source control or a bug tracker (but trust me, I believe you).

With these companies I think it's just best to walk the other way. Some of them may state that "yeah, we know we need to improve our engineering practices, so we're willing to learn" but they usually just have so much of a different mindset of what it takes to actually run a software company that it's just a waste of time. There are many more companies that have a modicum of understanding about what they're doing.

hey, that was a pretty, uh, stigmatizing statement. schizophrenics are no more of a danger to others than the general population. It is because society treats them like shit and so they take drugs to cope that makes them violent.

"Patients with schizophrenia without comorbid substance abuse have only a slight increased risk of violent crime compared with the general population, suggesting that substance abuse plays a mediating role."
Exactly my thought. This problem wouldn’t have existed if the ISPs didn’t for decades advertise a plan for $50 and then charge $100 by adding on items like “just because we can fee” and “fee for processing your fee”.
I love cycling, but I really struggle to understand why do people cycle on main roads when there are bike roads here.

Ok, maybe it is not always fancy asphalt but paving for some parts of the whole route, but still - it is way, way safer.

I really rarely touch main roads. Like out of 1.5h trip I'm on main road maybe for 2mins at best.
They're not corrupt because of lobbying, they are already corrupt and take advantage of lobbying.

There are things that could be done but the people in office making the laws are not interested, and the population is too apathetic/indoctrinated to make the correct choices.
> I’m still not exactly sure what the difference between useMemo and useCallback is

const useCallback = (fn, deps) => useMemo(() => fn, deps);

That's it. That's all it is. `useCallback` is a shorthand for `useMemo`, when you want to memo a function definition.

Example:

const handleButtonClick = useCallback((event) => {
event.preventDefault();
window.alert(`Hello, ${name}!`)
}, [name])

is just shorthand for

const handleButtonClick = useMemo(() => (event) => {
event.preventDefault();
window.alert(`Hello, ${name}!`)
}, [name])

> Truthfully, I'm somewhat baffled how it would ever even cross anyone's mind when designing a language to write type annotations like "x: X" given the long-established, pre-existing precedent in mathematics and the way its semantics seem backwards (if you had to use a labeling colon, "X: x" would make much more sense to me).

What maths precedent are you refering to? The thing I would consider most similar to today's type annotations are statements like "x ∈ ℝ" or "let x be a set of integers". In both cases the variable comes first.

Besides, it's much more practical this way. An identifier is very simple to parse and usually short, while types can be long monsters.
Rama is a much broader platform than a database, so the consistency semantics you get depend on how you use it. When using Rama, you're not mutating indexes directly like you do with a database, but adding source data that then gets materialized into any number of indexes.

You get read-after-write consistency for any PStates in a streaming ETL colocated with the depot you appended to. This is if you do the depot append with "full acking", which coordinates its response with the completion of colocated streaming ETLs. If you append at a lower level of acking, then you get eventual consistency on those PStates at the benefit of lower latency appends.

Microbatching is always eventually consistent as processing is asynchronous and uncoordinated to depot appends. Microbatching is higher thorughput than streaming and has simpler fault-tolerance semantics.

You'll be able to read a lot more about this when we release the docs next week.
I would agree, pointing out this is an opportunity to go broad instead of deep.

Most dev jobs go the other direction until you're sort of siloed.

Unless one in every 33 asteroids that have 3% impact probability at some point in time actually impacts earth, there is clearly some unwarranted assumption in the error bar/distribution calculation.

"The measurement data has noise" does not explain why the noise has a bias towards "the asteroid will hit earth" whereas reality so far has been biased towards "the asteroid will not hit earth".

(This assumes that significantly more than 33 asteroids have had >= 3% impact probability predicted at some point. The opposite would not be less concerning.)
Idk, last time I watched YouTube a lot was about a decade ago. It doesn't seem fun anymore.
"The FF 91's 142.0-kWh battery pack is rated for an EPA-estimated 381 miles of range "

That's... pretty terrible. That's only 609km. The 438km-rated Model 3 battery pack is 66kwh. I could understand this vehicle being somewhat heavier but that's only 64% as efficient. Even compared to the Model X, which is also an SUV but gets 348 on a 100kwH pack, it's pretty awful.
I wonder if there have been any simulations of such an impact and what the worst case would look like for equivalent mass but different shapes and asteroid compositions.

Systemd is so damn cumbersome. It's like they never tried using servers in real life when they designed it.

No commands work as you'd expect them to, and require a lot of very specific cmd line flags to do what should be the default.

I think the architecture and design of systemd might be okay but the user experience is horrible.

It's the same with git.
I work in gaming, so I cannot speak to your specific experiences. Entity Component Systems are extremely performant, really good science, and shipping in middlewares like Unity. However, in order to ship an ECS game, in my experience, you have to have already made your whole game first in a normal approach, in order to have everything be fully specified sufficiently that you can correctly create an ECS implementation. In practice, this means ECS is used to make first person shooters, which have decades of well specified traditions and behavior, and V2 of simulators, like for Cities Skylines 2 and Two Point Campus.

So this is not meant to diminish the achievements of what you have built at all, it is more intellectually honest to say that "any high performance framework is most suitable for projects that are exact clones of pre-existing, mature things with battle-hardened specifications and end user behavior." While this might cover some greenfield projects, including the best capitalized ones that may matter to you, it does diminish the appeal of a framework for the vast majority of success stories from small & poorly capitalized teams. Those small & poor teams are very innovation and serendipity driven and hence rarely copying a pre-existing thing. And even if they try to become well-capitalized, they are almost always doing so by having worked on the thing they are copying already (i.e., already shipping version 1.0 for years).
Respectfully I disagree it’s not just right or wrong.

We can have correct or incorrect principles but first principles talks directly to correct, base or primitive principles, from which more complex principles and designs can be based upon and follow.

For example in physics we have the dynamics of rigid bodies moving in space. These can be complex relationships between each other and the observer. But what is always true in such a system is newtons laws of motion which would be a “first principle” upon which you can derive more complex treatments.

The same is true of a thermodynamical system we can know and model complex systems such as a solar panel charging a battery and know the efficiencies in the system.
But in this case the first principles are the laws of thermodynamics, circuit theory , and battery chemistry.

Often in a system like this the current existing system can be modelled without first principles but the insight to know the theoretical maximum possible efficiencies are derived by assuming first principles and ideal set ups (spherical cows etc.)…
We may not all be fans of Musk at the moment, but one of his observations about PayPal was that its job was not especially about payments because that bit was easy, it was about preventing fraud. And as the ex-director of a small payments system (e-money issuer), I agree. The bit which everyone outside the system doesn't realise is the hard bit is dealing with all the bad actors.

My suspicion is that the strong readers who are not stopping to guess what words mean (but just sounding them out) are reading an order of magnitude more than those who are relying on cues. By reading more, they actually gain much more contextual information subconsciously than they could infer on an individual basis.

Anyway, would be interested to hear from someone who actually knows how phonics actually produce better results.

To clarify, I wasn't specifically talking about climate change. I was speaking broadly on regressive, rug/ladder pulling policies that put us into the situation we're in now and will likely be until climate change near extincts us.
> It seems we've become a society that rewards bad practices with attention

I have a very different way of looking at this. It's not us that gives attention. It is them that take it via exploiting our evolved inflexible cognitive systems for attention/reward/desire/anger/lust. We are moths to a flame. The moth's free will isn't to blame for its inability to avoid it. Our cognitive systems are fixed, we can't just turn them off. If a sufficiently powerful dopamine-inducing technology is made, you can't just "opt out". It is not as simple as that. Any individual variation in the ability to opt out likely comes down to variation in genetics or other extraneous factors not inside one's immediate control.

This is where regulation needs to come in. Once you accept the reality that opting out is a comforting yet false illusion, you can then do something about it.

I think this story is not very interesting. In particular:

- Some new regulations were proposed. The regulator asks for comments. The industry says they don’t like the regulations. That is the general story here and so I think it is mostly not interesting.

- The headline thing does sound hard. If you can’t see why it might be hard to figure out from your software and policies (built up through decades of mergers) exactly what all the fees are, I think you basically have a lack of imagination. Plenty of online stores even struggle to show you how much sales tax you’ll be charged. It is right for industry to state that this is hard but that it is hard needn’t mean that the regulations shouldn’t apply. Sometimes new rules are harder to implement than regulators expected and their deadlines get pushed back, but I think that’s basically still normal. I don’t think there is anything interesting here

- Some other comments made were that consumers would find the list of fees confusing. That does sound confusing. (It would be even worse if they had to read out such a schedule over the phone) I personally think it wouldn’t be a particularly good outcome of the regulations for consumers to see some long list of potential extra fees below the sticker price – they don’t know the true price before and they don’t know the true price afterwards. I was not entirely convinced by the argument that this is like sales tax. I didn’t look at the alternative proposals, but plausibly some could be better. For example you could require a maximum price inclusive of fees and taxes be conspicuously advertised and require that fees may not total above this advertised maximum. It seems to me that the right rule would require companies to publish some number representing their cost where decreasing that number (a) gets them more business on the margin and (b) leads to less surprise bills to customers. The max-bill number could be decreased by knowing better what fees would be charged or by actually reducing the cost of services and I think both of those are things the regulator wants
I'm with the ISPs on this, at least partway. Some of the fees ISPs charge aren't really fees at all, but rather pass-through taxes, set by ordinance and mandated into ISP bills through local franchise agreements. These aren't ISP fees at all; the ISPs don't control them, don't benefit from them, and presumably would rather they not exist at all.

Annoyingly, the point of sale for Internet connections isn't necessarily the municipality where installation happens, meaning that to give a complete record of these fees, ISPs need infrastructure to look them up by address. It's not the world's hardest IT problem, but it's a cost imposed on them by external actors, and those costs all get passed to consumers.
Thanks for the response, I'm still curious about the details of the subindexing and how that scales. I'll be keeping an eye out for the release!

PPP is a fair consideration, but Covid I think threw a lot of gdp relative measures out of whack for 2020-2022.

The issue is that lobbying has two different meanings. The literal meaning is trying to influence politicians but the common usage refers to when companies and special interest groups spend hundreds of millions of dollars on donations and advertising to get politicians to pass laws that benefit them. The first meaning, which is what you’re talking about, is fine. But the second meaning, which is what people mean when they talk about banning lobbying, is the opposite of democracy.

The difference is that the materialized-view logic lives naturally in the application code; there's no step where they go out of the DB to do computations and then reinsert.

Once SQL materialized views aren't enough, you might do this by replicating your database into Kafka, implementing logic in Flink or something, and reinserting into the same DB/Elasticsearch/etc. Very common architecture. (Writ small, could also use a queue processor like RabbitMQ.)

Their approach is to instead--apparently--make all of these first-class elements of the same ecosystem, not by "putting it all in the database", but by putting the database into the application code. Which seems wild, but colocates data, transformation, and view.

Seems like it would open up a lot of cans of worms, but if you solve those, sounds great.
