Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life
This is a "must read" book. Of the hundreds of books I've read, this is in the top 10.

Did you just try to "slide one by" while doing self-checkout?

Do you REALLY love long walks on the beach?

Are you thinking of "enhancing" your resume?

Are you failing to mention problems to your team?

Is your VC pitch just "smoke and mirrors"?

In a fight between a teacher and your child, can you trust your child?

Are you claiming "expertise" without any real knowledge?

Are you writing papers you know are fabrications?

Are you running for political office based on false information?
Is there research on this? Humans can squish their eyes when sleeping too, no?

It is part of r/Fitness, a very reputable resource for fitness as many top weightlifters are there too. The article addresses why it's not a good program and why beginner programs are generally not well designed: https://web.archive.org/web/20200528135350/https://thefitnes...
One benefit of meeting basic needs (like housing, food, utilities) directly is that it's easier for the people who need it. Some others here have pointed out that many homeless people have something that keeps them from managing a household, and taking as much of that off their shoulders is helpful in that it allows them to build a life step-by-step, for example by focusing on mental and physical health first and at some point education, instead of having to adjust to a lot of stuff at once.

Also, yeah, addictions are a thing. And I don't mean that as in "Oh, those people are so irresponsible! We can't trust them to spend their money right!". Addiction fucks you up (and/or is a result of the world fucking you up), and if what has been your only way to feel not-completely-terrible for a while is the other option, I don't think I can personally blame anyone who isn't able to take steps along a long and difficult road with uncertain outcomes, with their basic needs still not met.

In short: Money is a tool that can be used to meet basic needs, but by itself it does not meet basic needs. Using it to do that is not easy, especially if you're not used to that, and double-especially if you're addicted to something as a result of your shitty living conditions.

(I should note that I'm _not_ speaking from experience here. If someone who has some, ideally someone who has second-hand experience with many people, please correct me!)

While this is true in many cases, it's worth mentioning that many LoRA use cases can get away with high duty cyles no problem.

At the end of the day, the client devices don't have that much broadcast power - so if you run your own LoRA gateway and are not in a densely populated area, nobody cares if you use a lot of bandwidth.

Just don't use all of the bandwidth and keep monitoring the band. You can always throttle down your clients if someone else shows up.

> It should be behind some of the CMB produced by BB, isn't?

A reasonable mistake, but no.

If you look at the info box on your link, you'll see there are two different distances:

≈33.2 billion ly (10.2 billion pc)
(present proper distance)

≈13.6 billion ly (4.2 billion pc)
(light-travel distance)

The latter is what we're talking about when we say the CMB is about 13-point-whatever billion years old.

The difference with the other number is that the universe got bigger in the meantime, and that's where we recon it is now.

> Where it is, that plasma

The plasma itself?

Everywhere. The whole universe, including here.

The bit we see?

An echo made of light emitted at the last moment in time that it stopped being plasma — the light from the plasma that was here is now as far away from us as the plasma that caused the light we can see.
Still wasteful and frivolous. Imagine how many more people the globe could support if we stopped being so greedy and thoughtless with entertaining ourselves.
It is interesting how decisive the comments are given the ambiguity here.

Personally, I find that light reduction in general and blue light reduction in particular help me to fall asleep and she'll better. It could be placebo, but I don't care. I like to feel rested.
We store a couple million documents in typesense and the vector store is performing great so far (average search time is a fraction of overall RAG time). Didn’t realise you’ve updated to support creating the embeddings automatically; great news!
Depending on a cat, cleaning their teath while they're conscious might stress the fuck out of the animal, resulting both in quite uncomfortable for the cat treatment to keep them in a place and difficulties for the vet to get to the back of the teeth.

I once sat on a zoom call with a vision impaired user to do some accessibility testing on our site.

First, it was enlightening for me to see how she navigated through our site using her screen reader.

Second when she landed on our booking page we got so embarrassed because she couldn’t use our date picker. A basic HTML version would have done the job. But a few weeks back we had debated over which fancy jquery date picker plugin we should use without considering the impact. It was fancy alright, yet it wasn’t usable at all for this user.

I learned and felt many things that day as an engineer. Thinking in depth, across many different personas is a difficult thing to do, let alone building a tool that works well.
Yes, you're right, if someone's addictions are so severe that they would otherwise not eat. I don't know any such people but I don't doubt they exist.

I think you know I was making a valid point initially though. I was giving an example of how readily available these schemes are to people who don't really need them. There is a perception that people have to qualify for such help when, in reality, they just need to know the system.

You may say there is always going to be minor abuse of such schemes and I will just say that I think otherwise.
What if there are things we are fearing to do but shouldn’t be doing also?
The sweet spot for percent values is pretty sure between -1 and +1 ... 6000 % is just ridiculous. I'd suggest 60000 ‰ instead!
I am not at all convinced that it is useful to have closures in a programming language.

The implementation of closures is completely unnecessary for any of the features that exist in functional languages or in any programming languages.

The avoidance of closures becomes possible when the programming language includes the restriction that inside a function body the only external variables (i.e. which are neither parameters nor local variables) that are visible are those that are allocated statically, either as process-local or as thread-local.

This restriction is similar with the restrictions from C or from traditional C++, but it is less constraining, because nested functions are allowed, they just cannot see the stack-allocated variables from enclosing blocks, unless they are passed as parameters.

Any useful thing that can be implemented with stack-allocated variables captured inside a closure can also be done with statically-allocated variables, but in a much more efficient way and in a way that is less prone to subtle bugs. Other applications of closures in LISPy languages are just workarounds for the impossibility of defining record or structure types. In any language with user-defined data types such closure applications are not needed.

The only significant difference between a language with closures and one without closures, from the programmer POV, is that in a language without closures for each variable that is accessed inside a function body without being passed as a parameter, the programmer must add an allocation-class specifier, such as "static" or "thread_local".

This is a good thing in my opinion, because sometimes bugs are caused by unintentionally accessing external variables, which are automatically captured in closures.

A "purely" functional program must not access inside function bodies any variables that are not passed as parameters. Avoiding to write explicit "static" annotations, in order to make closures masquerade as functions, does not change the fact that such functions are no longer pure functions, but automata, which is good, whenever this is necessary.

When there are no closures, any function pointer can be just a simple pointer and any higher-order functions can have a faster implementation, which is better for any functional language. Closures add a completely unnecessary overhead.

Wrong. You could die suddenly in peak condition without ever having a disability.
Technology Independent Machine Interface
Are you tied to any particular transformer model? Using a smaller model, throwing more hardware at the problem, or generating embeddings in parallel are easy ways to make it faster. Depending on what you're doing with the output you may also consider truncating your documents (can be good for stuff like clustering) or breaking apart your documents (can improve search performance).

Another option if you just want search (and aren't training or tuning your own models) is a managed search offering where you aren't responsible for generating embeddings.
LoRa[WAN] is too limited for this use case. MTUs range from 51 to 242 bytes, and packet loss increases with packet sizes and distance. In addition, it lacks a built-in mechanism for reliability (e.g. ACKs). In other words, lots of headaches, unless your use case is sending non-critical telemetry data up to a few hundreds times per day.

For more information I recommend this paper [1] (unfortunately behind a paywall).

InfluxData Killed InfluxDB
InfluxDB is a timeseries database. Currently at version 3.0. Is being slowly killed by InfluxData.

TLDR:

InfluxDB 3.0 is deprecating Flux (introduced in 2.0). Dropping continuous queries as a feature.
Source: https://community.influxdata.com/t/is-flux-being-deprecated-with-influxdb-3-0/30992/6
Archive: https://web.archive.org/web/20230821062059/https://community.influxdata.com/t/is-flux-being-deprecated-with-influxdb-3-0/30992

------------------

InfluxDB 0-1.x gained popularity as simple timeseries database that had SQLike query language, easy to use, adequate performance. During the inception ~2014 it was marketed being built by GO.

Along comes 2021 and the InfluxDB 2.0 that introduces new query/scripting langue "Flux". InfluxData is highly promoting that new scripting language built into the database. For some users this is seems cool feature but for some derivation from known basics (SQL) feels odd.

moving forward 1-2 years. InfluxData starts to market their new database engine IOx. Written in Rust. Their blog is filled with IOx or Rust articles.

2023 InfluxDB 3.0 is released. This is at the moment closed sourced. Open source is promised ~2024. This is fine.

But now it seems that in their support forums it has been revealed that theid "killer feature" from 2.0 - FLUX is being deprecated. See https://community.influxdata.com/t/is-flux-being-deprecated-with-influxdb-3-0/30992/6 and https://web.archive.org/web/20230821062059/https://community.influxdata.com/t/is-flux-being-deprecated-with-influxdb-3-0/30992

This is revealed in support forum comments! Most of the 2.0 do not know how screwed they are or going to be.

This is baffling as InfluxData developing database as some random Javascript (NPM) library where breaking changes are frequent. This is unexpected as database "world" is considered having to favor stability.

It seems that Influxdata is being led by people that are following the latest trends and led by them. When ~2013 Go was the RAGE the database was marketed as built by GO. Along comes the Rust and they switch to it.

All it seems to be just to rake in the series N investors cash. Damned by the stability of the product and their user base.

----

p.s. I am running 40+ InfluxDB 1.8 servers and was holding back to upgrading to InfluxDB 2.0 as for our queries the Flux language was 3-10x slower. Now reading that Flux is being deprecated and continuous queries go away it makes me feel that this product is failing that that company is going away in couple of years.

I predict that in couple of years InfluxDB 4 or 5 will be in whatever language will replace Rust hypetrain (if InfluxData still exists by that time).

The real issue is being inside and not exposed to high intensity natural sunlight. That's how south Korea got 90% myopia in a single generation.
It still doesn't change the fact that a suboptimal program which keeps beginners engaged and moving forward is infinitely superior to a more complex one that they fall off of.

It's an interesting film, as an Australian who came to it later (I think I first saw it in 1992 ish) it was a while before I apprecriated a whole other perspective it had for some (early case of a film with a black lead, early use of graphic horror, lead character being killed, etc).

A fistful of tropes indeed :)
Absolutely, being sedentary is actively harmful.

And it's amazing how long these things can take to recover once you're in your 30s. I got patella tendinitis in both my knees, after a decade of sedentary indolence, followed by an extreme reentry into exercise. It took nearly a whole year to get my knees right.
Or, and I will admit it, people with healthy eyes that like the look of glasses and finally found an excuse to buy them. I never used them though. Also it really did feel like a marketing gimmick, holding it in front of a pure blue picture, I couldn't see much difference between it with or without glasses.

For a winning combination, you can use combined thermal/solar panels and then drive a heat pump with the electricity on the pre-warmed water. But that adds complexity. The primary reason we use electricity as intermediary is that it’s comparatively easy to transport even for longer distances and can be used to drive almost any that needs energy - produce heat, cold, mechanical work, computers, …

Then usually you shouldnt have a need to do them, and if you feel like you do, that might be the problem to address.
One situation that I think is seen more often is where a child process or thread is consuming way too much memory (large dataset, memory leak etc.) and it would be beneficial to just kill that particular process/thread and not the parent.
Yes, I was going off of memory and thought that it was memoising it, but I made a mistake and fixed it.

fib = Hash.new do |k, v|
next 1 if v == 0 || v == 1
k[v] = k[v-1] + k[v-2]
end

I like yours better though, it seems a lot simpler with the less than 2 check.
OpenStructs are ungodly slow anyway. If you want such accessors you probably want a plain Struct anyway and not mix hashness and method accessors. You can even define additional methods on structs:

Foo = Struct.new(:a, :b, keyword_init: true) do
def frobz
...
end
end

Structs are quicker to instantiate than classes but slower to call methods on, so if you instantiate a lot but seldom call they're great. Otherwise a class is better.
Isn't that the whole issue in Texas, that end customers can decide to pay the spot prices?
Something similar happened last time they had issues: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/20/us/texas-storm-electric-b...
Same in southern Europe.

They need to protect the fossil fuel powered central grid.

People with solar panels can definitely produce in a year all the energy need they want and basically pay zero after they install solar panels (bills went from 1k+ to less than 100 per year), so they're just using the central grid as a free battery that never deteriorates, never need to be bought and exchanged for a new one every once and then.

The central grid makes very little money out of solar user and they can't justify their existence or improve themselves and go solar.

Now there are rules that say you can't buy more solar panel than what your expected consumption is and they want to install a remotely controlled system so that the central grid won't purchase your electricity unless it's favourable for them.

People are fighting the first rule by buying a lot of cheap resistive heaters which consume a lot of energy which they can use to get enough solar panels to cover their needs.
There is not much hope for the remote control but I guess in that case we'll have to go with batteries. Hopefully by then Form Energy would deliver their iron-air batteries.
I'm in my early 40s and have been squatting for ~20yrs. I've just started to notice a bit of a twinge in my knees when squatting, particularly if I'm getting close to my 1RM. Knee straps seem to alleviate it, though I'm not particularly keen on using them. I think I likely need to work a bit more on stability and flexibility, both of which are diminishing faster than raw strength.
It does actually. The program is so poor that beginners might not even see enough progress that they're put off from working out, because "what's the point if I've been at it for a month or three and still don't have any gains?" That's why it's better to actually pick a good program, one that shows consistent gains as motivation rather than plateauing as a demotivational force.

Other recommended programs like 5/3/1 are not "more complex," that's a false dichotomy. They're just as simple but with different sets of exercises.
We're all just temporarily alive also. What's the point of this article?

It is very resource - intensive to build these low-grade waste heat networks, and you could achieve much more for the climate by NOT building them and investing the effort elsewhere - for example in building out renewable energy sources.

The market is very good at figuring these things out and you can push it in the right direction by putting a price on carbon.

Or you just do what Texas does and let Solar rip.
Well yeah, it's "simple" (or easy) to use, definitely not simple to implement. But having an easy-to-use hashmap is par for the course for most newer languages - not only Ruby, but also PHP (associative arrays), JS (objects), Go (built-in map type) etc.

I've had the opposite experience. Despite having a pair of "computer vision" glasses included as part of my plan, the optometrists I've been to have all pretty much dismissed tinted lenses as woo-woo. They did suggest a pair of lower-power lenses for computer use, but that was it.
If we are nitpicking, then we might as well define death as the ultimate disability.
Yes, I completely agree. Instead of being upset with outcomes (like how people react to me in interactions), there's three things I've been trying to instead focus on: Am I at peace with my core values? Do my intentions align with those values? And finally, do my actions align with those intentions. If something bad has happened, and those three questions are a 'yes', then you have no reason to feel bad because you've been completely true to yourself and this occurence is something outside your control. If it's a 'no', then you probably need to do some reflection and figure out where in that chain something is going wrong.
It's very true that serial computers don't get enough attention today, but I'm starting to wonder if they were underappreciated in the 70s.

Serial designs were somewhat common in the '50s but it seems they had fallen out of favour by the 70s, except when engineers needed something very low end, like a terminal or calculator.

Probably because core memory is inherently parallel and had become dominant throughout the 60s, killing off drum memory and acoustic delay line memory.

With the rise of silicon memory, maybe a serial CPU would have worked well for a cheap-but-powerful minicomputer in the early 70s.
There's nothing like working on screen reader compatibility to build a bit of empathy.

I 100% agree. You mention some pretty scary KG numbers there though (but we’ll done)! I just wanted to mention to readers that even squatting a ‘measly’ 50KG or deadlifting 30KG can immensely help with back pain and the physical challenges everyday life throws at you.

>I think we should work harder on how to manage the public utility function of power when there isn't enough to go around.

We should've built enough nuclear power plants to have basically infinite electricity so that we don't care about events like this, as far as their impact on electricity consumption. Alas, we didn't and now we're stuck dealing with the consequences of a "free" market that has limited, if any, means to price in tail events like this.
I recently distributed laptops to politicians and the first step in the setup process is choosing the keyboard layout. Nearly half of the people were already selecting "Dutch" before I could tell them we don't actually use that for the keyboard layout. We Dutch people are all using the US (international with dead keys) keyboard layout nowadays. There's no need for any special Dutch keys.
