I get tired of the same story being repeated, maybe I could have worded it better - thats the part that they just recycle all the time. Yeah they aren’t releasing new games on a yearly basis but when they do its the same characters and nearly the same story lines. BoTW is about rescuing the princess, so is the orig Zelda. Yes there are different mini-boss fights, puzzles, etc. and they can be fun but its certainly not a new original story.

I like how with Batman and Joker movies different directors/actors have a different take on the characters or setting (gritty vs campy humor, etc.) and I don’t mind similar story elements being re-used. I don’t like that in most video games for some reason. Horizon Zero Dawn was awesome, same with Last of Us (game), haven’t looked at a sequels, they look like more of the same. Its okay for me to not like that in this art form and its okay for you (or others) to like it.
I thought they invented some novel pigment, like Ventablack, not just they painted some buildings background colors.

I think GP's point is that is not about the perceived value of real time data/analytics, but rather, its actual value. Decision makers may ask for RT or NRT, but most of the time won't make a decision or action in a timeframe that actually justifies RT/NRT data/analytics.

For most operations RT/NRT data stuff normally is about novelty/vanity rather than a real existing business need.

Conveniently leave out the issue of cost. Snowflake is piling on features that encourage more compute. Customers abuse the system and they (Snowflake) respond by helping cement them into continuing the abuse (spending more) by developing features to make bad habits and horrible engineering decisions look like something they should be doing. Typical.

There's a huge difference between "Spring pre-Boot" and "Spring post-Boot."

Not quite as significant as Angular 1 vs Angular 2, but close.

I have a dual 4k desktop (landscape centre, portrait on the right) and add my work laptop to the left via x2x.

(a more or less transparent and zero latency process, no translation like say synergy; feels like the laptop is just a 3rd monitor)

Then on one of my virtual desktops I have shells onto the laptop and a browser using my work profile, just for bookmarks etc.... Only the laptop is on VPN, but I never touch it thanks to x2x.

When I am not working, the laptop is in its bag.
Not when it's for a court case or a legal requirement, in which case they put one or more people on it full time until it's done and make sure whoever else needs to get them the data is in the loop and knows it's a priority.

Bureaucracy is what slows down larger companies, but that's because incentives aren't aligned. When incentives are aligned and priority is understood, often that bureaucracy fades away to a large extent, even if for short periods.
> The subheading on this is unusually good: You can always count on conspiracy theorists to make a tragedy worse.

Some of these people obviously lack any sense of decency. I always think back to the parents who lost their young children at Sandy Hook and were then subjected to vile conspiracy theories. There is no consequence too harsh for those people (speaking specifically of that instance—and I do mean it quite literally).
If we change the individualistic culture that makes it necessary for, in the worst case, a single person to care for and parent a child, then yes, sure. But the world many people live in right now makes this very very hard and judging people is not helping.
That's not really about an opposition to green energy though. It's your standard NIMBY excuses about ruining the view and whatnot.

Off topic, but on the question of provenance...

Chiba worked with folks at PARC, and this is a year after Gregor Kiczales wrote the book, The Art of the Metaobject Protocol. Kiczales designed AspectJ, still in use in Spring today.

The three design dimensions for metaprogramming are static vs dynamic, whole-program vs incremental, and raw vs typed.

AspectJ committed to incremental (and removed whole-program features like callee-side call join points) because Eclipse's incremental compilation made enterprise programming bearable (and of course Java chose it for loading classes).

Staticly, AspectJ did reduce the pointcut shadow at compile-time (unlike (remote) method interception which), but semantically still supported type-safe dynamic checks (mainly instance-of and limited control-flow via a thread-local).

But types were the best part: unlike reflection-based proxies in Java (that formed the basis for most of the EJB/Web containers), AspectJ advice could be written to expose only the required context, and only in a type-safe manner. Inter-type declarations were guaranteed valid at compile-time (and supported default methods 20 years before Java did). And most importantly, the code with aspects was binary- and source-compatible with any code using the unmodified code.

(Of course, it also helped that Java supported debugging from extrinsic source files for JSP's, so you could step into aspects as you like.)

AspectJ static and incremental made it usable, but typed made it safe and correct and understandable.

(And btw, Kiczales dropped out of MIT.)
> This however doesn't make Circle less relevant, because it is actually a testament to show that C++ could have been much better without the claimed breakage.

But it does break backwards compatibility, doesn't it? Meaning, if you pass Circle code to a C++ compiler, that's a no-go from the start, isn't it?

What aspect are you focusing on to argue that Circle introducss no breakage?

...we'd get a model that hallucinates weather forecasts?
I love this question, because this is exactly what I'm currently focused on doing!

I founded approximatelabs to essentially chase this out and show how much rich fruit there is in this space. See approximatelabs.com

It is not traditional ML to me, which has a "row-wise" way of thinking. Instead, we are thinking columnar-ly (like you would if you were an analyst), and representing entities and attributes as tokens (not individual features). To me, describing "data" requires creating tokens that represent the information of the whole of the data. There are a few different ways of approaching this, but technically, the way we are approaching this is representing columns via aggregations (both exact and approximate (sketching algorithms like HLL, TDigest, etc.)). These columns now have representations that can be worked with by transformers in the same way they look at "tokens" of language, now we have "tokens of data" (also think multi-modal patch embeddings with images, but with columns of your data).

To power this, we actively are scraping "all of the data" as you say, and have over 100M tables in our store, and hopefully will push this to over 1B in the next week or so (about to run our next big parse job). We plan to open this dataset to public / research very soon, so looking forward to that. Shortly after that we plan to publish some papers about the actual details of our multi-modal tabular-data foundation models and techniques we have tried and learned from!

Towards the last part of your question: what use case would this model open up? We believe that the entire data stack (currently modern data stack) is about to get a revolution in the way that LLMs caused "symbolic" language models to get revolutionized. Think catalogs that are actually smart and semantic (not just based on the semantics of the metadata, but also of understanding natively the content of the data), observability that is in embedding space and is able to self-explain deviations, and most importantly: accessibility. Since LLMs have proven that they can lower the accessibility barrier to technical concepts, we are expecting and planning on our product being "the new excel", where everyday people can actually leverage the analytic power of things like pandas and sql to answer their questions and trust the results. Heavy bias, but I think the space is about to get very, very hot, and early competitors are starting to pop-up around the chat-bot use-case, and we believe we have a huge edge because we're making our own models + starting at the fundamentals.

Happy to answer any other questions too!
> Spring has gotten so bloated.

I'd call Spring feature-rich than bloated. You can always shed weight that you don't want to carry.

> Plus there's multiple ways of doing the same thing. e.g. JPA, spring-data.

That's because there are different ways to solve a problem. Someone may want an ORM-based approach to connect to the database; they can choose spring-data-jpa. Someone may want to use JDBC with a light abstraction on top of it; they can choose spring-data-jdbc. It's all about choices and right tradeoffs and Spring offers plenty of them.

> they don't provide easy upgrade paths between majors versions

That's not my experience. I've been happily upgrading 2.x.x versions and plan to upgrade to 3.2.x when it is ready. But depending on the codebase, I admit it can be painful. Projects like OpenRewrite[1] might help here.

> and they stop updating vulnerabilities on older major versions.

This is not news. They want you to pay for extended support if you need it.

> No docs on migration.

They do maintain migration docs on GitHub wiki which are a lot more detailed than their blog posts on migration. Here's the latest one to upgrade from Spring Boot 2 to 3: https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-B...

You're arguing for less transparency here? I think one of the side benefits to witnessing the LK-99 discussion is people from all walks (sure, Twitter/X isn't the end all/be-all of global communication) discussing/following/listening to actual science happen.

Do you know how much of that is worth to the world with knock-on effects? Maybe there were future material scientists sitting in the room with their parents listening to the discussion? I feel like that's equally as important as peer review/replication.

Perhaps scientists will create a checklist for performing experiments on potential superconductive materials with caveats and gotchas.

A team going down the checklist would either demonstrate one of

1. They performed the step in the checklist and provide the corresponding sufficient/exhaustive evidence of having done so.

2. An explanation as to why that step is not applicable allowing them to skip said step.

An afterthought:

3. The following will not always be possible for any given experiment. However, the LK-99 experiment used cheap materials and a relatively straightforward process to create the material (from my readings of what others have said), I think the scientists in question should have attempted to reproduce the results of their experiment and document the number of successful attempts versus total attempts.

Read what you've just written and tell me how that equates to "when the "demands" are essentially "give us all territory, sovereignty, and resources."!!!

The Russian demands amounted basically to getting the guarantees they "believed" they had when the USSR collapsed but that were never fully accepted by NATO [1]. I agree they were unrealistic, as to make such demands Russia would need to actually have the upper hand militarily, which it hasn't had even before it was still the USSR. However, saying that they were unacceptable offhand was a clear sign that NATO didn't respect Russia even enough to sit and have a talk. That's the modern equivalent of defenestrating [2] the Russians. They knew they wouldn't get all their demands, but probably expected to get "something" (perhaps a new Treat with Ukraine that ensured it didn't join NATO - would that be better than a multi-year war?? I say absolutely!!) - but all they got was a big fuck you. Invading Ukraine was irrational, I totally agree with that as clearly it would cause a huge divide in the world that just didn't need to come back, but after being thrown out of the window when approaching for negotiations, I suppose that's not exactly unexpected.

I hear this argument a lot, on the surface it makes sense. We all want to ship fast. Right?

But then... I try to imagine how Tailwind allows you to style your site in a few days, but it'd take you, the same person, what... weeks, to style it with CSS? It's so ridiculous it's making me laugh out loud just imagining this somehow. As if CSS is this thing for rocket engineers that is way beyond a common man's grasp?

Seriously, how LOW is the bar, I don't get it? When is something as easy and basic as CSS... just easy enough? "property: value;" Or have you never given CSS a chance, and you were heavily gaslit by Tailwind marketing into thinking CSS is a scary monster and here comes the savior Tailwind? I can accept the latter, but this is also the reason why I find these fad frameworks such a harmful phenomenon. But I can't fathom the former.

Sure, but as others have said, you have device IDs, you have when Trump was traveling and using cellular data, etc. So there is a huge amount of info that can be used to relate accounts.

Legally, it seems asking for a company to run essentially joins across their DB tables is accepted practice. Otherwise, how could warrant be obtained from google for all devices within a specific geolocation? Requires at least a few DB queries I'd imagine.
No one is claiming it works well.
Good science takes time. Anyone making definitive claims, including this article, is full of it.

my biggest gripe with old Spring was how far you had to go to get "hello world" on the browser when starting from zero. I never would have thought embedding the whole application server would be a good idea but SpringBoot proved me wrong. That plus the annotation based config vs xml files is what made fast development with Spring possible (in my mind).

Also, Spring would be a miserable experience if it were not for Maven/Gradle. Have you ever counted the jar files included in a typical SpringBoot+Spring-Security+Spring-Data app?

So you admit your argument is predicated on the number of people who are harmed.

What you fail to realize is I said "modern history". WWII was nearly 80 years ago, and since then, society has improved in gigantic leaps and bounds.

Spring and the JVM (even modularized) is a huge sore for cloud ops due to container size. Great that you pointed that out. Go's chi router or Fiber along with gorm gets us not so far away if you're doing crud. I also love go's ability to bundle assets into the binary and serve them (front-end code). It's so good that if I want to run the entire web application on another machine, I just copy the binary and run. Docker memory requirements are in the 64m range and even that is probably a bit of overkill. I can run thousands of these on a raspberry pi 4. I can only run like 4 spring boot apps on it.

Yeah, Linus Tech Tips has become the Andrew Tate of tech reviewers. Greedy, sleezy, exploitative, too full of himself.

At least in the past he wasn't pretending to be professional reviewer, and was just having fun with his goofball friends doing crazy experiments in his garage like heating your house with your PC, or daisy-chaining the maximum number pf PCI-E extenders for fun experiments, or water-cooling their Red cinema camera, and those were entertaining.

But now he doesn't even do content like that anymore and became just an influencer farming out low quality click bait content ("I'm reviewing the cheapest junk off AliExpress") from his media empire built on the sweat of exploiting gullible young people who look up to him and aspire to be like him, while pleading poverty and pretending to be an accurate source of information because he now owns a lab and testing equipment, but has no qualified staff on hand because qualified technical staff costs real money and doesn't like being exploited for peanuts just to get followers on their Instagram accounts.

I feel sorry for their staff and for the younger viewers who will grow up with such junk as their source for tech information.
