> Most operations on clojure persistent data structures are an order of magnitude less efficient than they are on the mutable equivalents

It's not really clear what you mean by "order of magnitude" here. The notation you're using suggests that you're thinking in terms of asymptotic algorithmic resource requirements, which are most often characterized by polynomial degree; an order of magnitude ("factor of 10") is invisible in those terms.

But a factor of log n, while not invisible, is nearly so. If you're thinking in terms of polynomial degree, a factor of log n is literally an infinitesimal value - it's more than 0, but less than all positive real numbers.
BTW, thank you for your reply and examples.
> Is there a specific Constitutional requirement for a board as well as a Chair if it’s for-cause-only?

Well, no.

The specific rule is that for-cause-only removal is inconsistent in general with the vesting of executive power in the President in Article II, with two exceptions:

(1) Agencies with a role similar to that of the FTC in 1935 that exercise no part of the executive power but serve solely as a legislative/judicial aid, and

(2) Inferior officers (not principal officers of agencies) with limited duties and no policymaking role.

(While each of these rules comes from separate lines of cases, they were summarized together and referenced in support of the decision by which the Supreme Court struck down the for-cause-only rule at the CFPB [0], which specifically found that the for-cause-only provision combined with the single-director structure would clearly violate separation of powers as a reason not to further extent the existing exceptions to the prohibition of for-cause-only restrictions to allow the one at the CFPB.)

> Because otherwise that seems like a very narrow difference to ask the Court to rule on regarding the appointment/firing of the head…

The Court has already ruled against that, the present challenge is to the funding structure.

I am in favor of the severity system being entirely removed.

Attempting to score the vast majority of vulnerabilities against a universal axis is comical and falls apart as soon as you try any kind of real world application.
Funny - I feel like I didn't really build a computer if some blood hadn't been involved.

Such detail! Nice work :)
I wonder if they would make more money if they focused on providing a good service instead of on incrementally maximizing revenue.

Like imagine a streaming service where you could rent shows for a couple weeks for almost nothing, with a huge catalog. People would be all over it.

Instead, they are looking at how to segment people that are using their service into groups that get a shitty experience or pay a bit more per year.
Thanks for that example. I got Code Interpreter to port it to SQLite and demonstrate it working here: https://chat.openai.com/share/b5113cb1-10df-4a38-adde-5ec0e7...

I have my own SQLite implementation of a similar pattern (but using columns rather than JSON) which I describe here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Apr/15/sqlite-history/
I actually use Uber Delivery on many household items these days, which is same hour delivery with Uber drivers going to local stores, and I believe I pay Uber One for some shipping cost reduction or it comes with a credit card I have or something

I did look at Amazon just to browse the items and get a feel for it, there might be foreshadowing here as that's what I used to use brick and mortar stores for pre-pandemic, before ordering on Amazon.

this time, I was amused by the shipping times in comparison to Uber Delivery. I haven't seen same-day delivery in a while but these were 2+ days, either way I don't even like "by 10pm, I swear, maybe".

so... hm, maybe I can cancel Amazon Prime. shipping was the only thing keeping me, and prime video comes in handy rarely and its stuff I still have to pay for. the same paid catalogue is everywhere.
They pay for Akismet and run the users signup info through it. You can see the kind of data they send to them in the GIF on the post. If Akismet says yes, this is spam, then engage the frustration loop. I thought it was clever.
I say this out here whenever this comes up…but if we are truly being honest there really is no hard data out there to support that WFH benefits the organization. All of the arguments and anecdotes I hear are specific to the individual. If you can’t support your argument with data against the people who get to make the decisions where you work, you can’t really blame them for going back to a historical work environment that made them successful in the first place.

I always caveat this idea with the fact that I love WFH and do not want to RTO, but I can’t make an argument why it’s better for my organization.
The lack of exceptions for actions is bizarre. And then they build repository rules or whatever, and made the same mistake again! You can at least exclude github apps now, but then you need to run all your repo actions with an app installtion key :/
> I wish there was a tier that was lower cost and didn't include Prime Video as I never use it nor have any plans to use it.

That’s pretty close to what they’re doing here. Now you’re no longer subsidising an ad-free video service if you don’t use it.
Like fail2ban. Nothing quite like the anxiety of almost locking yourself out of your own system because you mistyped a password one too many times. It's a delicate balance (although, for something like SSH, I wouldn't even bother, unless the traffic is measurable enough to cause issues. But then you're getting (D)DoS'd, and you probably have bigger problems).

I recommend the 1999 American film “Office Space” or the 2003 British television series “The Office” if you somehow think this is a novel sentiment. Or “Bartelby the Scrivener” by Herman Melville from 1856.
GPT-4's answer: StevenNunez is humorously suggesting that "Prompt Engineers," who are people skilled in crafting effective prompts for AI models, might find bing_dai's simple prompt too basic. They may propose complex and intricately designed prompts to enhance the output quality or add more context to it.

I think GPT-4 didn't quite get it but StevenNunez is making fun of the overly complex prompts people sometimes use (which, to be fair, was more important before instruct and chat tuning)
The first paragraph very nearly lost me – irrational, rage bait, directly contradicts later stated facts – but there’s some good content later. The chief complaint seems to be that LastPass is not forcing this upgrade, they are just blast emailing unaffected people that they “forced” it while not actually doing so. And they’ve pulled similar stunts in the past, and in current communication seem to clearly be blaming users for their weak settings and passwords while erasing the fact that LastPass chose the settings, ok’d the passwords, botched the upgrade, and still hasn’t fixed most of their mistakes.

Everybody with a clue knows LastPass is a lost cause, but what’s more interesting to me is how we can generalize the lessons we’re learning here. I’d propose that user blaming in general is evidence of bad tech and magical thinking around it, and that points a finger at some very interesting targets.
“For example, another important default setting in LastPass is the number of “iterations,” or how many times your master password is run through the company’s encryption routines”

How does this help?
Sorry I'm passionate about the industry.

Apple took the first step on almost all those feature killing things you listed and then to "keep up with the industry", the android vendors followed suit.

Products that "just work" often in practice get that attribute by only working in a proscribed way and then flat out failing in others.

Your fail case is inevitably because the just work philosophy was followed for some other imagined use case so being a tool was replaced with being an appliance.

When you try to meet the user too far you inherently compromise functionality and adaptability in exchange for narrowed convenience.

You need to take things away and remove decision points from the user in order to get to a just work state.

Then there's an actual group of users that reinforces this and classifies such things are progress.

I care a lot about a productive meaningful future and I want to push things in the right directions
It's okay, your managed Kubernetes provider also just happens to sell a managed database service! Isn't that convenient?
It has a CLI? And it’s on macOS? I’m sold.
I can almost guarantee you that you'd find better results if you could block all results from spammy domains (without using an extension). It's practically a tautology.
For those having trouble viewing the post google's cache displays it properly.
Or not realize they have a terrible password. The thing I notice is not all services allow spaces. A sentence of regular dictionary words has proven a good password for a long while otherwise.
My guess? Akismet is metered, and he submits only the first few posts to lower costs. Once you have some reputation, you can post anything.

So spammers noticed being blocked on account 1, created account 2 with legitimate content, and then started spamming.

New process is detecting spammers on first post but instead of immediately sending them away (or throwing their content into the void), go to some length to pretend the website irreparably broken in subtle ways.

The point is to waste their time before they realise they've been flagged, and have them give up.

My biggest pain point is not being able to do proper ternary statements in workflows. And passing arrays to called workflows. My ‘runs-on’ statements need more than one label!

You can fake it by passing a stringified JSON object, but that’s bizarre.
Coincidentally, the ACME DNS verification process that LetsEncrypt uses is vulnerable to the QUANTUM attack. If NSA injects a fake DNS response in the right spot, and have the their response arrive before the official response, they can get the domain verified.

OTOH, Certificate Transparency Logs will give the game away, so there's that.
The more early someone was in mining or buying Bitcoin, the greater the possibility that they believe in Bitcoin in and of itself.

I.e. to someone who was early into Bitcoin, they might wish to never sell off all of their BTC.

And besides, even if you wanted to sell off your Bitcoins, there are a number of things to consider:

- Taxes. Why sell millions of USD worth of Bitcoin now, and pay taxes on all of it today? Possibly better in some situations to sell enough to live comfortably for a few years, and then sell more later when you need to again.

- What are you gonna do with the money instead? Put it in stocks? Buy a bunch of houses?
And of course everyone has time to setup a reproducible test case for this random data corruption bug, and can wait for the language tooling to get fixing while all their builds break….

Or they just turn off caching and forget about it.
Definitely useful for non-prod environments. I don’t want my production database sharing infrastructure with anything if I can avoid it though.
This is a good analogy, but maybe doesn't put enough emphasis that for search users are often actively seeking information and ads can (not always) even contribute to the usefulness of results. On YouTube the user is more often seeking entertainment and the ads are blocking them from that.

Not having DBAs, the people with the actual skills to run the databases you need, available when you need them, certainly sounds like a business staffing problem, and not an engineering problem. Why are inexperienced developers managing databases in the first place? Or is this something people think you can just wing and be okay?
There's the problem of what does the power management, shut down, and start up of dormant parts of the CPU. If that steals cycles from the OS, it can interfere with real time processing.

There's no reason that CPUs couldn't be designed to avoid such interference, but don't expect to find that on x86. Not sure about ARM.
Oh, I didn't realize that! The more you know.
Even with Google's own flagship device, the latest security patches date from August while this announcement is much newer, so it seems unlikely _any_ Android devices have been patched.
>Your argument basically seems to boil down to "the most polluting country can't reduce use of its most polluting energy source because other countries exist and emit anything at all".

It's more like your argument forgot to account for fossil fuel demand elasticity and the reason why the developing world emits less CO2 per capita. It's not because they are enlightened minimalists who care more. It's because they are being outbid by the developed world.

For every amount the developed world cuts fossil fuel usage, it makes it cheaper for everyone else to buy. Price goes down, demand goes up. Usage doesn't go down, it shifts. This is a self defeating strategy. Your theory of global emissions reduction only works if no one changes their behavior in response to supply/demand changes.
This is me. I won't be using Prime Video once they start showing ads with it. I don't think I'll spring for the ad-free upgrade, though, because the whole thing has left a bad taste in my mouth.
It’s one of the main reasons to start with something like unleash because they have stale flag warnings built in. Plus, since you already have a UI it’s harder for it to be hijacked.
If you are complaining about the idea of iterating a hash multiple times, this is actually a fairly standard construction to increase the cpu cost of brute forcing hashes.

It's probably a good thing that just one week ago Google rolled out their "helpful content update" that incorporates a site-wide quality signal: https://developers.google.com/search/updates/helpful-content...

Ok I googled. I guess it makes sense as it helps to protect against pre-hashed rainbow tables or dictionary attacks by making them more computationally expensive.
I agree that's a bad choice, but it doesn't change the fact partial hydration was not available until very recently. Without Astro/RSC, you can either have SSG / SSR with large bundles, or an SPA with large bundles. These are the options.

KDFs only add 10-20 bits of security in terms of attack costs, there's only so much you can do to make 8 character passwords safe.

If you control the parameters you can improve that boundary-- say, FDE with a KDF that uses 8GB of RAM and 10 seconds to compute-- but consumer products are limited.
Our results demonstrate that the power of language models can be attributed, to a great extent, to the auto-regressive next-token training scheme, and not necessarily to a particular choice of architecture.

I think that's obvious isn't it? Neural networks are universal function approximates, the question is how to make the efficient, either in parameters or computation or whatever, as well as all the usual stuff like encouraging convergence, avoiding big gradients, etc. That's why transformers are popular, nobody thinks they especially can compute a function that other models can't.
Let's be clear: all of the YAML-cum-DSL K8s deployment options are terrible. It's still just templating with extra steps. But Kubernetes is, fundamentally, one big while(1) loop turning YAML into infrastructure, so, eventually, you have to target YAML. It's just unfortunate that we got to "spicy regexes with if statements" and then stopped, instead of using something more robust.
Tenant vs. owning is orthogonal though. You can say the same about boats.
This is something we’ve built internally and I’ve found it super useful, even though it basically just reports on occurrences, not exact usage (can easily say how many usages of Button, but not the green Button).
Good link.

I found this extract from the Wikipedia page especially charming:

> Onfim left seventeen known birch bark items. Twelve of those have illustrations, five only text. One of the drawings features a knight on a horse, with Onfim's name written next to him, stabbing someone on the ground with a lance, with scholars speculating that Onfim pictured himself as the knight.

On the one hand, the evidence for that speculation isn't really sufficient. What if he was just autographing his work?

But on the other hand, the conclusion is so obvious.
The primary driver for your respiratory rate is the pH of your blood. For instance, metabolic disorders that result in a drop in blood pH will result in an increase in respiratory rate/depth (e.g. Kussmaul breathing). As far as I know (with a fairly deep anatomy and physiology background) there is no mechanism by which body temperature can directly influence respiratory rate. If your respiratory rate increased just to get rid of heat, you’d also be blowing off more carbon dioxide and would end up in a state of respiratory alkalosis.

As you mentioned, sweat is also evaporating water, and that is a much more effective way of dumping heat.
All banks work in the free Development environment, but for banks on OAuth, including Chase, you need to go through the Production approval vetting as a pre-requisite. Once you've been approved for Production (and if applicable for the given bank, gotten your security questionnaire approved as well -- I think Chase requires this) you can then access those banks in Development for free.
This is what I suspected you meant by "totally nuts". The thing is, if you get all your news from the establishment, you think these things are totally nuts.

When you go beyond corporate-backed news and listen to a variety of independent journalists and commentators, you start realizing over time that some of these things that sounded crazy at first may actually be legitimate, and it's not from reptition - it's from how things in the world unfold. You start seeing evidence pile up over the months, you start seeing the lies of corporate media, you do start questioning everything.

So saying something like Fauci should be in jail would have sounded nuts before, doesn't sound nuts when you've seen the evidence pile up over time.

The question I always ask people who are inline with the establishment is this: Which INDEPENDENT journalists do you follow that align with what you think? I never get an answer.
If you sold that much of it, the price would tank and people would try to find you and kill you.
> That post was written in 2021, does it still hold true today in Java 21?

Yes.

> Does Java Virtual Threads do the same, or does disk I/O block the carrier threads? For curiosity, does Java file APIs use io_uring on Linux if it is available?

We're working on using io_uring where available, especially for filesystem IO. For now, filesystem IO blocks OS threads but we temporarily compensate by increasing the size of the scheduler's worker thread pool.
Some of the pessimism may be from really competent folks who realize that a business environment that is so hostile that companies that essentially have infinite money compared to you start tightening their belts and let you go then won't rehire you...

...may not be the best environment to go and start taking out loans to open your own business. Especially not for a micro-SaaS where profit margins should be something like 80 something percent on a terrible day.

SBA loans are better matched for opening a business where your margins are in the single digits and you need to pay vendors X weeks out before you can make a single sale. Not selling software you can write for $0 and host on a $10 VPS.
What's a peleton? Genuine question from a non native English speaker.
Agree totally, I think all I'm saying is I don't want a situation where the design team (inadvertently or otherwise) decides the Javascript framework. In an ideal world they wouldn't care.
We try and be very deliberate to be clear about whether we’re talking about ‘design system’ or ‘component library’. The company library is a specific implementation, or conforms to, the design system.

Though often, it’s just incredibly pragmatic to conflate the two. You don’t ship figma files to users.

NASA's Plan to Return Samples from Mars Is Pure Science Fiction, Report Finds
Well, we dont want e2ee because then we cant decode audio and transcribe, or record meetings. All of which are high demand user requirements. We dont want decentralisation either for the same reason. We dont interop with other video conference systems other than asterisk for dial in/out. And the ones that we might consider doing that for dont support matrix either. We want a fully integrated system for our users so i dont see external clients being a thing. An open standard api is a plus but in my experience there's always something they fall short on requiring something custom. This is why i find it difficult to see where matrix could improve anything for us. Trying to find some benefit but I really don't think there is one other than maybe marketing and saying we play nice with open source or open standards.
White House could force cloud companies to disclose AI customers

Are these extremely large shops in some sort of pocket universe? Because I've been around the block enough to regularly experience Kubernetes's issues over and over again, and I'd say that the GP comment you're critiquing is actually right on the money. In my experience, people downplaying Kubernetes's drawbacks have either never been bitten by them, or make a lot of money by getting people to use Kubernetes.
