The way I think about this kind of problem is to remember that tools built to deal with huge scaling problems are generally dealing with a very complex set of variables. The tool is going to be designed to let you choose between all of those variables. There's no magic - just configuration whose complexity better matches that of your problem.

That being said, if you are not yet in a situation as complex as the one your tool is designed to deal with, there is a very good chance you will waste some time starting to use such a tool "early." You might get that time back later when you scale, you might have the right people to set up the complex tool the right way for your simple situation, but you are taking a bit of a risk. As long as you go into the situation with your eyes open I think most people end up ok. The horror stories almost always come from people who are working to fulfill needs they do not have and don't understand why their work isn't giving good ROI.
I downvoted it because it's just not good advice. Taken overly literally, it's probably harmful.

Yes, you should be careful self-medicating with chemicals. There are ways to do it safely, though, even with MDMA. You should also do other things (as you are able) that don't require chemicals, and a lot of those should come before most chemicals.

But some chemicals are really safe! E.g. for anxiety, try silexan and L-theanine as a first-line thing — they're both cheap and have no significant negative side-effects. And other chemicals are really powerful and transformative, and while they need to be considered and/or used with extreme care, they may be really good options. I'd absolutely take the risk of MDMA with proper testing, dosing, and supplementation over the risk to my body from a triathlon, for example.

And you should definitely test MDMA, or have someone test it. Both of those are pretty accessible options for people who already know how to get MDMA.

From the blog author’s commentary, it sounds like they chose to translate “ocheia” as “covering,” as an alternative to the more common translation “pollination.” The blog author worries that even that choice might incorrectly imply that the original writer spoke from a theory of sexual reproduction.

The specifics of that idea didn’t come along until much later [0], while of course people have bred animals and plants for much longer [2] based on the simpler theory of “when a mommy cow and a daddy cow love each other very much, the baby looks like them.”

Even today I think of “covering” in an agricultural context as a euphemism for “making the boy thing mount the girl thing so the babies we want turn up on schedule.” Whether they want to or not, if you’re the kind of person who thinks that matters for animals.

Kind of an icky business, really, the first time you stop and think about it. But in any case, the translator seems to have chosen this very specific sense of the word.

[1] Of course hand-pollination still happens on an industrial scale, for example with vanilla - and more parochially amongst orchid enthusiasts, e.g. https://www.aos.org/orchids/additional-resources/pollinating...

The company I worked for when GDPR went into action used kafka in every configuration possible. I've seen some pretty decent uses but also some horrific ones.

I agree with the author to an extent - kafka is overly complex for low traffic systems. It can however be a godsend in specific cases, but what those cases are can be hard to pinpoint.
I have no real clue about control theory, what is the advantage of linear or invertible laws?

My idea was to equip the control program with the equations of the system and some unknown parameters for friction and so on. Then estimate the parameters from the response to control inputs and drive the system through state space as hard as possible to get the fastest time, taking into account deviations from the expected state and reestimating parameters each time step. Would be really interested in knowing whether this could work or if this will just consistently slam into a wall. Response delay would probably make this a lot harder, but I did not look if any of the tasks simulates delays.

This is a pretty poor take.

Just think of military weapons and the use of AI in them. For example survival. The objective of a missile is to survive until it reaches its target and then not survive any longer. War gaming and actual battlefield experience will 'program in' survival. Same thing will occur with hacking/counter hacking AIs. You're acting like evolution is just something meat does, and that' not true at all.

It's not necessarily over-engineering because scaling/performance isn't the only reason to want to be doing things asynchronously. In the example given, they could want to be decoupling consumers and producers from each other.

For example, they could have one service using CDC (his DB source connector) to propagate state out to a bunch of other systems and not know which systems are subscribing for changes.

An organization could have many such systems propagating state out to many other systems, using a single distributed log system.

Eh, I have a sneaking suspicion the compute dies won't be shut down as much as you'd think, and that there will be some extra power usage from crossing the dies like desktop Ryzen parts (though hopefully not nearly as severe).

A good Process Lasso config is probably worth the time investment. Instead of "trusting" the scheduler, you could force everything non time sensitive onto the efficiency island, maybe by default.

> they could hardly work any other way without laws restricting “right to work”

Well sure they could. The workers who agree with the strike go on strike and if that's enough of them to put pressure on the employers to meet their demands, their demands get met.

If it isn't, you've failed to convince your fellow workers that the light is worth the candle and if you don't want to work under the terms that they do, you can go work for someone else.

This is mainly a problem when there is no other someone else to work for, but now you're back to anti-trust rather than labor laws.
For those unaware:

* A Galois Field is a mathematical structure where addition and multiplication have been redefined so that some very useful properties are retained. Galois Fields can exist with any prime number or an "extension field" where that prime-number is vectorized. In this case, the GF2 field (prime number 2) has been extended to 8-bits (aka: a GF(2^8), aka 8-bit Galois Field).

* "Addition"'s new definition is simply XOR.

* "Multiply"'s new definition is bitshift and then add. (ie: 0b10101010 x 0b00010010 == bitshift(x, 4) + bitshift(x, 1), because the 4th and 1st bits are set to 1). And remember that "addition" has been redefined to XOR in this math, so that + means XOR.

* An Affine Transformation is A * x + B, where x is the original value. As a "Galois Field Affine Transformation", A * x and + B are all done in "Galois Field" terms.

* This is an AVX512 instruction, meaning there are 32-parallel versions of this 8-bit computation happening in parallel across a 512-bit vector.

Note: operation traditionally happens modulo a particular GF(number) to create a field. The above operations are "primitives" that can eventually create a field, but aren't making a field just yet.

Perhaps the more accurate names for these operations is "GF-addition" and "GF-pseudo-multiplication". In any case, multiplication is any combination of the 8-bitshifts (bitshift0, bitshift1, bitshift2...) and the 8x such results added together (depending on the 1 or 0 on that bit). Meaning you can very easily describe bitshift-and-xor operations to other cryptographers who are operating in "GF-language".

Its actually really easy, though the terminology is a pain in the ass.

----------

Traditionally, this multiplication on Intel has been called "carryless multiplication" (clmul) and "polynomial multiplication" (pmull) on ARM. I preferred these names personally.

But if Intel wants to call this the "gfp8affineqb", then so be it, they're the ones naming this instruction not me. Its... a reasonable name, I feel like a better name exists out there but I can't think of one. But its certainly not a perfect name IMO. Maybe "clp8affineqb" ("carryless 8-bit affine") would be my preference?
Exactly. Most people aren't good at communicating their thoughts or what they see in their mind's eye. These new AI programs will help the average person communicate those, so I'm exciting to see what people come up with.

I got 75% of a 7745 train, a ton of rails, a traffic light and assorted mystery trainish blocks from a bag that someone rescued from a dumpster. Unfortunately, they could carry only 1 of the 2 bags in the dumpster. I got it very cheaply, as they didn't think they would get much money from it. A lot of the rails were snapped. Some have white paint.

I restored it, but my heart wept for the previous owner.
Maybe that's true but I honestly don't think we can reason at all about how this will progress from a consumer hardware product like the iPhone.
I just reverse the starting knot (go under the right lace instead of over) and keep everything else the same. You know you got it right when the loops fall perfectly to each side. It rarely if ever comes undone because it has better physics. And it's only one step to learn differently. There's a name for it, but I forget what it's called.

> Because immigrants can compete down at the level of rents.

On a per house level, undocumented immigrants can often pay more than others because they are willing to live many more people to a house with rents being charged on a per-person basis. If the house is all male workers, homeowners can charge $100 per week per person (now, it used to be $50 and before than it was $25) and can have up to 4 people per bedroom (I've seen up to 8) and often multiple in the living-room. If families, there can often be 3-4 families in a single house, all paying less than they normally would to rent an individual house but much more total than the house would ever rent for otherwise.
Sure they are low granularity. But one person making 3x what another of the same level does goes way behind a rough and imprecise description. That’s a complete breakdown of a level system.
> What government policy would allow for a 2k apartment building and not a $500 apartment building?

Bans on single room occupancy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_room_occupancy

Requirements for parking spots. Parking spaces are not free to construct or to maintain.

Requirements for windows.

And no, of course I don’t wish to live in a windowless single-room apartment without a kitchen, private bathroom or space for my car. But were I broke, I would rather live in that than pay money I don’t have for a nicer place.

> The reason there's not a $500 apartments being built is because by expanding the residence out just a tiny bit you can charge $2000 for the same space that 2 $500 apartments would occupy.

I understand that the typical pattern is that new construction is luxury, and over time those units wear down and become more and more affordable. Adding new $2,000 units to the market reduces the value of existing units.

Why is the barrier for so many "consciousness"? Why does it matter whether it's conscious or not if its pragmatic functionality builds use cases that disrupt social contracts (we soon can't trust text, audio OR video - AND we can have human-like text deployed at incredible speed and effectivity), the status quo itself (job displacement), legal statutes and charter (questioning copyright law), and even creativity/self-expression (see: Library of Babel).

When all of this is happening from an unconscious being, why do I care if it's unconscious?

How do you find it? How do you install it? Do you need root/admin permissions to create it? How do you provide access control for it?

There's a lot of value to having something like this "built in" where the plumbing isn't something you worry about. You don't have to worry about the state of your users' file systems (User deleted 'My Documents', User doesn't have a $HOME folder, you don't have write permissions for %AppData%, etc...).

I think if someone went off and redesigned a global KV store for an OS they'd probably require authentication tokens for mutations, so your app would only be able to communicate with the subtrees of the store that it has permissions to (but also, kind of like a file system?)

We recently got some in for testing at work. The adoption of intel GPUs, and AMDs for that matter, however will pose a challenge as the inertia in many fields is high for CUDA. This is also supported by big CUDA ecosystems for, e.g., MD, Fluid Sim and Tensorflow.

Further we very rarely see HIP and even less OpenCL for any serious workloads. It's usually CUDA or CPU (AVX-{2,512}).

In both instances, creativity is needed to live off the land. There are constraints that prevent solutions expedient in time or space. So you may need to expend both to achieve the same end: writing scripts to bootstrap up, and leveraging vulnerabilities to accomplish workarounds.

The opposite is fairly naive. Software development is not only dumping tokens into a text file. To have a significant impact on the market, it should do much, much, much more: compile and test code, automatically assess the quality of what its done, be aware of the current design trends (if in UI/UX), ideally innovate, it should also be able to run a debugger, inspect all the variables, and deduce from there how it got something wrong, sometimes with tiny clues that I don't even know how it would get its information (e.g. in graphics programming where you have to actually see at a high frame rate). Oh snap a library is broken ? The AI needs to search online why it's broken, then find a fix (log onto a website to communicate with support, install a missing dep...). It can't be fixed ? Then the AI needs to explain this to the manager, good luck for that. It would need to think and feel like a human, otherwise producing uncanny content that will be either boring, either creepy.

You can think about your daily job and break down all the tasks, and you'll quickly realize that replacing all this is just a monstrous task.
