I think most companies don't understand a large part of the Databricks offering and it should be used by way more organizations. Disclaimer: I was a Databricks user for 6 years and now work at Databricks.

Yea, you can create your own Spark deployment, but it will run much slower than the Databricks Runtime (DBR) or the Databricks proprietary Spark Runtime (Photon). Computations that run slower cause you to have a larger cloud compute bill. Databricks rewrote Spark in C++ and it runs really fast and saves a lot on ec2 compute.

Or don't consider these issues and use autocompaction / the new Liquid clustering. These are great examples of problems the platform should solve, so the user has time to focus on business logic.

> If you can sniff out the inefficiencies in your Data early and make architecture that handles your specific data

I don't know what this means.

Are you going to build a deep learning model to make read/writes faster like Databricks predictive I/O? https://docs.databricks.com/en/optimizations/predictive-io.h.... Probably not, you have a lot of business problems to solve.

> Do the real work. Work with people. The Code will write itself.

I've seen lots of DIY data platforms. They're horrible to work with and I can assure you that the code does not write itself. The data engineers have a lot less time to write code because they're constantly trying to stand the platform back up.
I think there’s a reasonable question in there, but I don’t agree with this framing. Shady relicensing isn’t legal, and it doesn’t matter if there are armchair defenders. But, Ole does have defenders, so it’s not one-sided.

Part of the issue is that Ole’s citation notice doesn’t appear at first glance to some people to be compatible with the GPL. You have to read the language carefully, and read the history of GNU Parallel’s citation notice, to understand that the notice is not a licensing term.

Another part of the issue is that the notice doesn’t sound like someone just trying to make a living. It sounds like a demand or even a veiled threat, and one that is inflicted on everyone, not just academics. It’s not exactly clear about what the legal requirements even are.

I’m in favor of Ole getting citations, and I’m in favor of his right to ask. But the way it’s being asked for rubs me the wrong way a little bit, and it’s rubbed other people the wrong way a little bit ever since it was introduced. BTW, the whole reason it seems like all hell breaks loose, and the only reason this matters is precisely because the software is widely used. If it wasn’t widely used and it didn’t sit under the GNU umbrella, you’d never hear about this.
Bingo. That's one of the biggest hurdles in HN when Europe gets mentioned.

People from the US use it monolithically to praise or attack but also people from Europe do so, to not have to specifically defend anything and talk about ideals, or because they might not want to doxx themselves with too much details.

If you're interested in politics you'll see that they are vastly different and people need to talk about the contextual events instead of some idealised version of "how things work on paper".

am I wrong or is this a really huge leap from correlation to causation?

why isn't it that people who spend all day on social media get less sunlight and exercise therefore have more inflammation?

OK well they said this, sure:

I don't say that at all, that's pretty bad faith. My point was that taking regular breaks as they say they do when they forget their glasses is a better solution than just powering through with some glasses that may or may not work.

There are always negatives to PEDs- some of the impact can be mitigated, but you're taking a long-term risk for a short-term result. If your goal is healthy longevity, I would steer clear.

That said, one supplement (not a PED) that is widely used and well-studied in the body-building world is creatine. Just make sure you drink enough water, as it causes you to retain a bit of water (I learned this the hard way, waking up with a bloody nose it dried my sinuses out so much).

This assumes that the whole is the same as the sum of its parts.

>perhaps it's just empathy

Any system can be hacked, including empathy. We call it "fraud" and unfortunately it seems that the number of humans who can keep two concepts in their head at the same time are vanishingly rare. So you end up with a useless "empathy vs fraud" debate repeated endlessly, roughly corresponding to the left and the right, and it doesn't go anywhere. Of course, what we need is a synthesis. The left needs to be more attuned to fraud that targets empathy, and the right needs to stop using the risk of fraud as an excuse to do nothing.

>most of AVX-512 is available on basically any Intel cpu manufactured since 2020

That's incorrect. On the consumer cpu side Intel introduced AVX-512 for one generation in 2021 (Rocket lake), but than removed AVX-512 from the subsequent Alder Lake using bios updates, and fused it off in later revisions. It's also absent from the current Raptor Lake. So actually it's only available on Intel's server grade cpus.

>Edit: I forgot to mention but Intel's Alder lake CPUs only have partial support presumably due to some issue with E cores.

I'm personally a fan of the Greyskull Linear Progression or GSLP. I'm pretty much a fan of any LP since if you stick with it you get a ton of strength gains.

It's essentially:
Day A:
- Squat 2x5, 1x5 AMRAP
- OHP / Bench (Alternate) 2x5, 1x5 AMRAP

Day B:
- Deadlift, 1x5 AMRAP
- OHP / Bench (Alternate) 2x5, 1x5 AMRAP

So you are only squatting twice a week and deadlifting once a week, versus SS with squats everyday.

A typically schedule following M-W-F for two weeks could look like the following:
M: Squat & Bench
W: Deadlift & OHP
F: Squat & Bench

M: Squat & OHP
W: Deadlift & Bench
F: Squat & OHP

I highly recommend purchasing 1.25 plates so that you can increase weights by 2.5 pounds versus 5. I did this for bench and OHP and that was when I really started seeing gains!

AMRAP stands for as many reps as possible and works as a good metric for moving up a weight or staying at a weight. If you do 5 at the end, you may want to stay. If you do 10 or more, you can double the weight increase.

The other cool part of AMRAP is that you now have another metric besides weight - you can try to break previous rep records, especially if you deload and are working your way back up to previous working weights.

At the end of the day, sticking with any LP would be good. I just like GSLP since I'm not squatting every day.

All that being said, I started off with SS and that was what got me to a 315 pound squat.

Doing GSLP is what got me to 220.5 bench and a 135 OHP (all for reps)! I think the tiny incremental plate (1.25 plates) and AMRAP sets are what helped me the most.

I think you still didn't address gp's statement? You cherry picked a handful of examples but failed to provide data indicting this is truly a systemic issue. Or at least an issue that is specifically worse than non-trans rape/sexual assault that occurs at correctional facilities. So basically absent that sort of data, the gender issue of the assailant is irrelevant - rape and sexual assault are a serious problem at these facilities that in general need a solution to improve the situation. If you put all your effort into stopping rape-by-trans and somehow you are able to make it go away, you still have rape-by-non-trans to deal with which is a much larger issue.
This also makes me reluctant to get too mad at antibiotics. If you're taking them needlessly, fine, but given I caught pneumonia and missed four months of school in kindergarten, I think I'd have probably died if I'd been born before their invention. I guess this was luckily well after the age at which it seems likely to have any meaningful lifetime impact as postulated in this article.

And for what it's worth, my wife did have an infection as an infant. Whether this is causally related is seemingly impossible to know, but she did end up with all kinds of allergies. Eczema, gluten, allergies to most antibiotics. But she is also hard of hearing because of that infection. Without treatment, she'd be at best completely deaf, and at worst it spreads to her brain and kills her in her crib. While a lifetime with allergies isn't great, it's better than no lifetime at all.

> changing the economic makeup of the people that live there

I really don't get this argument, even less so with the hyper-connected world we live today.

The world's population has grown ~6x since the Eiffel Tower was built. Why do we need to cram these people into the already big cities, instead of developing the smaller towns? It's not like land is a problem, and it's not like we still depend on having our settlements on an area with immediate access to a port or river.

In North America specifically, it would be a lot easier to change the zoning laws and regulations in the suburbs and increase their absurdly low density and inefficient land use, than it would be to constantly trying to put everyone and their dog in the already dense cities.

The best way to avoid turning Paris into a "rich guy playground" is by creating a supply of other playgrounds to keep up with the increased demand, not by destroying the existing playgrounds in the first place.

Novel enzyme could boost sustainable production of aviation fuel
I had a 5-year F1 visa for what would normally be a 2-year graduate course.

I was under the impression that 5 years was the norm, considering a lot of undergrad courses (in engineering especially) take about that long to complete.

Grad schools too can take that long if you're aiming for a PhD.

(Although, when you graduate your F1 expires even if there's still time left on it; so you can't continue staying in the US after graduating without obtaining an OPT, or a different type of visa, PR or whatever).
The thing is, you don't understand that a business needs to stay focused and that has a price. When you buy those solutions, you are paying for the price of staying focused.

If the price for staying focused is $X, and X has a positive business impact and need, like Snowflake or Databricks could.

And it doesn't mean you won't need to spend on HR, developers, management and so on to run your own OSS solution.

It is actually great to give Snowflake and/or Databricks your money. It's a really expensive service, with a huge markup. That I understand.

But the alternative doesn't look good at all. A company is better staying focused.

Also, if the company sees that it expends a considerable amount of its budget in Snowflake/Databricks, they'll find solutions, that could be negotiating with them, figuring out how to optimize their use etc.

I've worked and seen many companies optimizing their cost structure and run away from Datadog/Newrelic, Snowflake/Databricks and just fail miserably.

The alternatives made developers simply use it less, and also spend more time to do the same that they did.

They even sometimes call it successful, execs point out the money saved, but they don't see the subjective part: developers being less efficient, wasting their time with BS.

There's a long tail of costs related to inefficient systems, it's wasting developer hours, that you need to manage, hire, train...

Not to forget the burden that it is to fire or make people redundant, companies end up losing so much of their culture and soul doing such things. And this is what you need to typically do if you assume those expenses of running things for yourself.

The ideal company are platforms that pays for many SaaS and stay focused on its core business, if it can make money, great!

There is so much literature on cost optimization in business in general, stuff that have been studied for over a century. If people would read on that, they wouldn't be repeating such nonsense as this article.

Also, the article says that you are OVERPAYING for it if you aren't a Fortune 100. It's much more like the opposite, if you have a small company with a small amount of data, it's very likely that Snowflake or Databricks won't cost you that much.

Based also on the other comments on HN, I can only conclude that this is one of those articles that is so full of mistakes and plainly wrong, that there isn't even a real debate over here, just people saying how wrong it is.

I have a child with autism. The American system is cruel beyond imagination.

To qualify them for social security and Medicaid I have to leave them impoverished. They can't have more than $2k worth of assets in their name. Instead it's a complex lawyer game of trusts to give my child any sort of inheritance. Yet they are basically guaranteed to end up in a group home (Even though I own my own home) because a caretaker after I go is unlikely. Further, what the trust can pay for is things not covered by Medicare and SS. So housing and food are limited to what the government would pay for.

And then there's the concern of how this all plays out if I get dementia or disability which requires substantial finances.

There's a reason people with autism tend to end up homeless.

Try clicking the link to the actual article. In your defense it's a bit of a moving target because the article and its headline keep getting updated. There once was a time when the headline said just what you said, that the Cruise struck the firetruck, but the body of the article said the complete opposite, that the firetruck struck the Cruise. Now, the article and its headline have been almost completely rewritten, and now (until it changes again) the headline says:

"VIDEO: Driverless Cruise car struck by SF firetruck, injuring passenger, company says"

Like an automobile accident between humans, there's a flurry of fingerpointing and attempts by both parties to shift blame. Like an automobile accident between humans, this is an evolving situation and determining fault is an ongoing process of investigation. That's why it's prudent not to rush to judgment and not take at face value the assertions of one of the involved parties--in this case the fire department--who has an incentive to try to get out in front of the story and shape the narrative to protect its own image (just as Cruise has that same incentive).

I don't believe the elections have any amount of integrity in the US. The system of controls in place are laughable at best. When the physical recount doesn't match the voting day totals, the original totals are kept (see Jill Stein vs Hillary in 2016). It's just pathetic all the way around.

That said, Mike Lindell is a fraud charlatan. The fact that Trump hitched his wagon, directly or indirectly, to clowns like him shows how weak of a statesman he really is. I agreed with many of Trump's policies, but his ability to execute is pitiful.
