I work for IPinfo and we do ping based geolocation. The best thing you can do to verify geolocation accuracy is the following:

- Download a few free IP databases
- Generate a random list of IP addresses
- Do the IP address lookups across all those databases
- Identify the IP address that can be pinged
- Visit a site that can ping an IP address from multiple server
- Sort the results by lowest avg ping time

Then check where the geolocation provider is locating the IP address and what is the nearest server from there.

I assume the problem is that the agricultural usages divert water that is running into the lake, so it dries up.
You're right. Agriculture is taking water from the freshwater streams that would otherwise replace what evaporates from the lake.
The Salt Lake is fed by other rivers and tributaries, which are currently being used as sources of freshwater by farmers and towns.

The concern is that the farmers and towns are using the water before it can get to the Salt Lake.
Nice work!

I'd be more impressed by "Hypervisor in Scratch" though ;)
> Surely the right solution is to set an appropriate price for the use of water and let the market figure it out.

The idea that money of all things should define environmental and health interests is so laughable, there’s literally a cartoon about it. (“Yes, the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time, we created a lot of value for shareholders.”)

Putting that aside. Yes, the 19th century water rights laws where certain people get guaranteed drawdowns and are encouraged to use all of the water every year is destroying the western United States. We need to blow up the entire system and star again. And if this means screwing over golf courses, mining, and inappropriate agriculture that inevitably uses unsustainable irrigation practices, so be it.
I personally do this today with an iPad and remote desktop - but I always have a desktop running for other reasons so the marginal increase in use is acceptable.
“And then there are the adventurers, who randomly show up on skis or in an Arctic Truck..”

That’s an interesting point. A while ago I had a discussion with a flat earther who claimed that the military won’t allow anyone close to Antarctica. I told him I am pretty sure that people have crossed Antarctica by foot or even bicycle (heard this on a podcast). But I wasn’t sure how the permit process works and if there are limitations.

I know flat earth is stupid but it’s a good exercise to refute these people with knowledge you have. Turns out this is quite difficult because often you have only very vague knowledge of the details.
Sure that exists too, but it blocks on process exit. I suppose I can run that in a separate thread but now I've got another dimension of complexity to deal with, and it's unclear if I can stream output from the subprocess?

Yeah, the core problem with the idea is that even if you have one, it’s nearly always more pleasant and comfortable (and less in other people’s way) to sit at the kitchen table for the same clerical/homework/WFH activities, just as one would before these started being added. It fails to be better than the thing it’s trying to replace, and is less-useful (and uglier) than having more ordinary kitchen cabinets and/or counter space, which can do just as good a job of storing paperwork and calendars and such, without the misguided specific-purpose design.

> “The Great Salt Lake belongs to the people of Utah and the state has a legal obligation to protect this resource”

As this seems to be the core of the lawsuit, I'm curious whether this is accurate from a legal perspective. Not that it's always the right thing to do, but governments typically have legal leeway to make all kinds of decisions like damming rivers, flooding canyons, etc. So I wonder if there's specific legislation about preserving the lake in the Utah State Constitution or legislation that would form the legal basis of this lawsuit.

> you can see where you they are engineered to fail

Really? Please give an example. I have been hearing this for at least the last 15 years and have yet to find someone who can offer an example of anything that was "engineered to fail" when challenged. Not saying it doesn't exist, but I'd just like to see a single example of it happening.

Sacrificial parts that are designed to fail in order to mitigate a more serious failure do not count for the purposes of this request -- that's just Good Engineering Practice.
Related to the topic, it is commonly said/claimed that there is federal law requiring automakers to have parts available for 10 years for any car they sell. As far as I can tell this is not true. If they offer a warranty, they must have parts available for the term of the warranty. And for emissions control parts, under some circumstances they are obligated to repair defects discovered within 8 years (this doesn't necessarily mean they are obligated to stock the original parts).

In reality, for any reasonably popular car, there will be OEM or aftermarket parts available for most things that commonly fail or wear out, for 10 years if not much longer.
The physics of this is hard to wrap my head around. 60 MPH near instantaneously, what does that even feel like?

The effect of buying and closing innovative potential competitors?

Product design distortion due to companies being valued by unreal factors, so most of the market is acting on partly false data (raw MAU rather than sophisticated analysis of likely actually meaningful paying DAU)

Actual errors due to not measuring user sentiment: failing to build long term value since the life cycle of users from new-> user-> advocate -> generational aligned customer is not understood at all. In this thesis, most companies profit model is just wrong on long term time scales. They're actually burning the goodwill of potential dedicated customers in return for flat growth and revenue. This is Google to me; they have no way to detect that I've gone from loving to hating their products over the last ten years, since I spend as much as ever. But I'm looking for any way to jump to another product.

In the end I still don't know. Am I just wrong that Google isn't suffering from me hating them? It feels so true that if they respected power users more it would be so beneficial to them, but in a hard to measure way. Recruiting, advocacy, lobbying, let alone bug fixes, wanting to work there. It could be that the hate they receive doesn't hurt them. But I think a certain type of person will always exist, who wants to love and respect the groups they're associated with, beyond just realized profit. I would jump at the chance to associate with a company which makes 50% as much money as google, but which I can still admire and feel aligned with. And long term it seems people will try to form societies and economies where companies can be viewed as actually aligned. So day to day google does fine, but maybe they're not pricing in the rare negative effects of existing in a less loved state?

I don’t think all manufacturers follow CARB for all the cars they build. When I lived in California I knew several people who bought their cars in Arizona because it meant they’d have more horsepower and fewer parts that could break. Also I removed the extra California emissions junk on my motorcycle because it caused the bike to leak fuel if it fell over.
"If you're paying for it, you're still the product" is the era we are in now.
And you're literally advertising this project as being helpful for targeted ads. So it's pretty clear from the get go that what you consider creepy isn't what I consider creepy. And having done enough reidentification work to scare myself, "thousands of people" might as well be a couple dozen or less. I get why you're defensive and why you think it's not creepy, but calling it a "meme" is insultingingly dismissive.

Just because it's "how things work on the internet" doesn't make its mass collection right. Under the same logic, any side channel attack is just "how it works", and its abuse warrants no ethical question.
What happens to the water after they flood the field? It seems neutral if the fields in question are in the same basin.

Same point is often made about flooded rice fields in northern California. The water "used" by this process, that is the water that does not return to the river, transpires into the air. For a given crop the transpiration is the same whether flooded or irrigated by another method. The crop is the problem, not the flood.

> Yes and society does generally in these matters as well. There was a number of expectations of women in marriage historically that they have been liberated from, yet this expectation remains for men at some level.

Different circles of people have different expectations, and I think that's okay.

I still think we're over-analysing an anecdote here. He was attrac to a woman—for the sake of the argument, but we don't know this—has those expectations. So, he must've been fine with them! If there was a big disparity on world views, we'd never have lived to have this discussion, as the story wouldn't have happened.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, of they're happy, who are we to judge them? Traditional or not.

I'm personally with you on the stance that it's a bit of a funny tradition, but I don't think it's an egregious one.

> He might appreciate sports cars, there isn't a industry trying to get her to buy him a sports car and via conspicuous consumption, socially siginal her value as a wife to his friend group and family. Sports car showrooms aren't full of anxious young couples, taking out loans so he can pull up in something with 500 horsepower on the special day. Why?

I am neither into sports cars or super familiar with engagement jewelry, so I might be wrong, but I don't think the price brackets overlap, or do they? So, I'm not sure it's a fair comparison. However... I concede there's a point there. I don't know why that's the case. Maybe because traditionally men earned more while women stayed at home? I have friends who've bought their boyfriends gaming gear/consoles (I know it's not the same price range, but the sentiment was there).

Regarding social signaling: maybe her family is upstanding and cares about that. So, he just wanted to impress the in-laws. We don't know! But either way, he was okay with it! It's his life to live after all. We can live ours differently
What baffled me when I researched the various Transpiled-to-Lua languages is the fact that most of them insist on dragging their runtimes with them for some strange reason. Why would I want that?

Considering the common role Lua serves, in most cases where I won't be even in a position to install anything besides the single source file I can distribute.

All I want is some quality of life improvements (that includes types). Write in that, then get a single Lua file as output. Nim does that with its JS-backend beautifully.

I forgot if Fennel can do that (seems that's what it means by Ahead-Of-Time compilation), but it's not typed so I passed on it. I might reconsider, as I gave up on the search last time.

Studies revealed that the kitchen table is the hot-spot of family life at home (at least in the US) and that most of the time it’s used as a desk and/or document dumping area, not for eating.

Some designers and architects reacted to this by deciding this meant people wanted a shitty desk in the kitchen, so started adding them, presumably thinking they’d done something very smart and helpful.

… actually this could probably be used as the basis for some kind of presentation or article about how data-driven design or decision-making can go very wrong, now that I think about it.

It's specifically a problem because Utah is a desert.

Alfalfa fed to local cows that are consumed locally keeps the water in our ecosystem, within the bounds of our natural water cycle. Alfalfa fed to cows overseas exports our water overseas, so it doesn't reenter the water cycle locally, and it may never find its way back (on human timescales).

You can think of it as having a trade deficit for water—we're not importing it in sufficient quantities to make up for our exports, and the result is that our local environment gradually dries out. Wetter climates don't have that problem because water that evaporates from the ocean can be treated as unlimited.

The Quest to Save the World’s Most Coveted Chocolate
My question is: if I want to use LLM to help me sift through a large amount of structured data, say for example all the logs for a bunch of different applications from a certain cloud environment, each with their own idiosyncrasies and specific formats (many GBs of data), can the RAG pattern be useful here?

Some of my concerns:

1) Is sentence embedding using an off-the-shelf embedding model going to capture the "meaning" of my logs? My answer is "probably not". For example, if a portion of my logs is in this format

timestamp_start,ClassName,FunctionName,timestamp_end

Will I be able to get meaningful embeddings that satisfy a query such as "what components in my system exhibited an anomalously high latency lately?" (this is just an example among many different queries I’d have)

Based on the little I know, it seems to me off-the-shelf embeddings wouldn't be able to match the embedding of my query with the embeddings for the relevant log lines, given the complexity of this task.

2) Is it going to be even feasible (cost/performance-wise) to use embeddings when one has a firehose of data coming through, or is it better suited for a mostly-static corpus of data (e.g. your typical corporate documentation or product catalog)?

I know that I can achieve something similar with a Code Interpreter-like approach, so in theory I could build a multi-step reasoning agent that starting from my query and the data would try to (1) discover the schema and then (2) crunch the data to try to get to my answer, but I don't know how scalable this approach would effectively be.

NVDA forward PE is 42.48, which isn't super crazy relative to other big tech companies (MSFT over 30). I suspect ARM's forward PE is double that ratio (>80).

If NVDA's forward projections are correct, and they can maintain that same growth, then there is still room for upside. Personally, I'm not playing this game of musical chairs because I don't think these valuations are sustainable, but as they say, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, so shorting is a terrible idea.
