In my case at least, it's because Python has a strong ecosystem. Everybody's heard of it - parents, kids, and teachers. There are lots of good kid-friendly education materials.

Of course, that begs the question "how did that ecosystem develop in the first place?", but I can't answer that.

> That is a lot and while I agree somewhat it is lacking empathy, I think.

Don't get me wrong here, I am a very (sometimes overly) empathic person, I am the guy people run to for advice when they want to know how to talk to other people, because I can put myself into other people's shoes.

But that doesn't necessarily mean I like what I see when I put myself into thoes shoes. So if my post sounds unempathic, it does so because it is the pure distilled cycism of someone who really has it up to here with a certain unempathic, egomanic type of person — call it a enritled, vocal, screaming minority if you will.

I understand how horrible the whole thing felt to them. To a certain degree I even subscribe to Schopenhauer's notion of: "A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants", so I am not even sure they can be blamed that they felt that way.

But because I understand a feeling doesn't mean I have to approve with the actions and words they derived from those feelings. That doesn't mean that in my view we gave those people way to much area on the stage of the pandemic as opposed to all the pressing social issues that actually emerged.

It loosens the grip of the Western narrative re: destiny, individualism, control, rat race, etc. Similar to Stoicism in its initial incarnations but with another perspective that IMO has more universality.

Your dismissive tone is curious because the same kind of dismissal can be made of the absurd and outlandish belief systems and mythologies of Mahayana. "Perfected wisdom" is hard to imagine when basing it on stories of stories of myths of god-like beings.

If profit was completely unambiguous, accountants wouldn’t have had to invent the word ‘EBITDA’.

The article rather ambiguously says:

> Profit is what allows the company to hire employees, grow, and sustain itself—it is quite literally what funds ongoing development

There’s a key distinction between reinvesting profits - using accrued money to develop or acquire capital assets that can grow the company - and expenses.

Cash used to ‘sustain the business’, ‘grow’ (increase sales) and ‘hire employees’, as well as ‘ongoing development’ in the sense of business development, is largely going in the ‘operating expenses’ bucket. It doesn’t come out of profits, it comes out of revenue and it reduces your profits.

But in the case of a software focused organization, engineering staffing costs and ongoing product development can absolutely be reinvestment into developing software assets - but with a lot of caveats.

So it’s certainly a little ambiguous for the original article to claim that all those things are ‘what profit is for’. Often they are preprofit expenses.

Well, if you absolutely needed to use that specific rpi camera module (if I understood your other comment correctly) and you didn't have time to reverse engineer it, then rpi was probably the best option, sure. It just feels weird to assume that, or that every single module needed to be connected by ethernet. Rpi and low power in the same sentence also feels weird. I'd have tried to build little devices out of STM32. But again, I barely know anything about your project.
If your product is sufficiently complex, you may have organizational expertise in running it that the cloud providers can't match, though I can't think of any examples of this. There security requirements like fips-validation and released STIGs that make organizations depend on your product. Off the top of my head, other than these, I can't think of anything RHEL offers that Amazon Linux doesn't, but plenty of orgs still choose the RHEL ami for their EC2s. Some orgs may want or be required to self-host. Some orgs may use your cloud but only in a FedRamp-accredited or classified enclave, where many managed services available in the commercial enclave are not available or not yet approved by your sponsoring agency.

I don't know how much of a moat this constitutes for vendors like Elastic, though. Those markets are inherently smaller than what they hoped to get out of managed Elastic cloud, and more labor-intensive to service. It's more of a moat for the big five defense contractors and why Raytheon is still writing all the software for spy satellites rather than Google and Lockheed does all the hardware rather than SpaceX. Of course, they're not open source, but the contracts usually specify the government owns your code, not you, and they can share it with any other contractor they choose if they want to replace you.
You're making an interesting distinction between "JSON" and "languages based on JSON" there, which I don't. JSON and XML in isolation are just a bunch of punctuation and not useful. They're only useful when we know the structure of the data within them. XML already had schemas, and we were able to easily (YMMV!) validate the correctness of a document.

JSON was simpler because we would just say to each other "I'll send you a {"foo":{"bar":1234,"ok":true}}", "Cool thx" - and there wasn't a way to formalise that even if we wanted to. That doesn't scale well though. We needed a (machine-readable) way to define what the data should actually look like, thus OpenAPI etc.

> a temp of 0 doesn't reduce hallucinations.

I never said it did.

> LLMs internally know when they are hallucinating/taking a wild guess.

No they don’t. If they did we would be able to program them to not do so.

I would argue that wild guesses are all LLMs are doing. They practically statistically guess their way to an answer. It works surprisingly well a lot of the time but they don’t really understand why they are right/wrong.

P.S. LLMs are kind of like students who didn’t study for the test so they use “heuristics” to guess the answer. If the test setter is predictable enough, the student might actually get a few right.
Is there a yaml without all the bells, whistles and magic?

Like the syntax (it doesn't turn non-techies off from changing some config values), but aren't a fan of all the magic whistles that can shoot you in the foot if you don't have near-encyclopedic knowledge of them.

The spec is too big for something that's supposed to just live in some of our configuration files.
This is unquestionably hillarious, and there are for sure some questionable "features" of yaml. But all this yaml hate recently seems to be hate that would be better directed at the garbage CICD toolkits that come with things like github, azure dev-ops etc.

YAML is good for human readable configuration, with some notable caveats. But its terrible for being a secret programming language where the only way to execute it is to put in a PR request, commit to a live branch etc.

Isn't this confirmation bias at work? These are poor decisions of different degrees, but they're still simply poor decisions.

I have no horse in this race. I suffered with the shortcomings of all of these formats. So I don't see a point in saying "this one is in a different category of bad". YAML was built with different ideas in mind. If we are so adamant on hating on something, we should hate the projects that chose YAML over something else.

According to a quick Google search,

> On average, about 35 g of salt is present in each 1 kg of seawater

so if those 700 billion kg of water for LA all came from desalination, that would yield 24.5 billion kg of salt.

That suggests we could have 12 LA-sized cities relying entirely on desalination before we'd saturate the world's demand for salt.

My point was that they didn't identify a false argument, as "Formatting the web page as YAML" doesn't look good so yaml is bad wasn't an argument put forward by the author of the web page. Hence the straw man.
I think Jinja-in-YAML is very much an antipattern. It seems to come from not designing for enough programmability from the start (and then from people copying successful projects that took that route?).

The page mentions some alternatives like Dhall and Jsonnet. Two more to consider:

1. Write a configuration library for a real programming language. Have this library generate a JSON configuration file that is treated purely as an inspectable artifact, not something to edit by hand. The user will have their configuration as tooling-enabled code checked into version control (hopefully). That it will be harder to make an emergency fix directly on the server has its downsides and upsides.

(What was the first prominent piece of software to implement this idea? I kind of got it by osmosis.)

2. Starlark. It is a non-Turing-complete language derived from Python that was originally developed for the Bazel build system. It has several implementations (I am not sure how deeply compatible they are) and now Python bindings (https://github.com/caketop/python-starlark-go for starlark-go, https://github.com/inducer/starlark-pyo3 for starlark-rust).

I couldn't understand this headline. Antimatter only differs in charge so of course it's affected the same way by gravity. So this is just a confirmation?
All of the intensity leading up to and through med school is also generated by the artificially competitive residency system. Pretty obvious.

Med students are not born leagues more competitive than people who go into other high-performing industries.

Edit: I said here “all” the intensity is due to this, which isn’t fair. It’s a lucrative job with lots of necessary education so it’ll be both difficult and competitive regardless. The “extraordinary” features of the medical track compared to any other lucrative field, starting from high school onward though, is generated by the residency bottleneck.
Also it seems like once people had all this revealed to them, the anti-social behavior didn't revert. I share with some of those people a dramatic mistrust and inherent irreverence, perhaps even blind hatred for authorities who are telling me to do anything. That makes me inclined to do the opposite I am told in any given situation. I wore a mask and limited contact for the same reason I signal before changing lanes, or place garbage in receptacles designed for it. I agree with the reasoning behind these rules and they simply seem polite. The politeness is what I think actually changes for people. They got stressed and decided to only consider their own needs drawing the circle of us/them tighter about them, and they haven't loosened it since.

All that said, consensus from news sources biased left and right, from nations where masks and vaccines were championed by opposite political sides, seems to be that we did a whole generation a great disservice by making young child education virtual for any length of time at all. Many nations reopened bars before kindergarten because think of the children. When we could have all drank water and let our children and their teachers lay the foundation for our future in the best way possible.

> 1 minute a month (upper bound) is hardly a deal breaker.

For a relative measure: if you're off by one minute when using a sextant, then you could be off by (IIRC) about 15 nautical miles.

So one should at least know the average drift of the time piece if it's being used for navigation, and it should be sync'd up with UTC/GMT regularly.

For regular day-to-day stuff, one minute is probably less dire.
The timing doesn't quite work out for this explanation, unfortunately. YAML is about the same age as JSON and started finding a niche as a configuration language in parallel with JSON finding use as a serialization format. Ruby on Rails 1.0 was using YAML for configuration in 2005, and it didn't even have JSON support out of the box at that point.
Interesting thoughts. I wonder if partnership with Microsoft will pay off long-term.
That's what I just asked.
The state has motivation to self preserve, so is unlikely to suck a population dry. Making the state the only source of fuckery then means fuckery won't kill us. Opening up access to population wide fuckery to the highest bidder however is different. The highest bidder does not care for the life and well-being of the livestock, they care to see their investment pay off.

While I don't agree china has it right, both approaches are wrong as humans are not livestock, we shouldn't even treat livestock the way we do, the Chinese approach is like choosing to sell 50% of all children born while Twitter is like selling as many children as buyers will take.

The Tao Te Ching is not written in Mandarin but in Old Chinese. The two are as different, and stand in roughly the same relationship, as Latin and French. These differences include all levels of the language: phonology, syntax, lexicon, and what morphology the Sinitic languages have. In commentaries, the characters of Old Chinese words are sonetimes glossed with their modern Mandarin sound values, but this is ahistorical and often misleading.

The Chinese classics are not accessible to ordinary Chinese without special training. That is why the early 20th century campaign to write in the spoken language instead of fossilized literary languages, made such a huge impact on literacy in China.
This is a really tricky one for me, particularly on reddit, I don't know why people post such stupid things online or have to argue with everything, but then sometimes I do wonder, how much they are just me, because I get enraged with what they say and end up arguing back.

Key take aways (for layman):

* Previous studies have used charged antimatter like positrons and antiprotons, which they imply is kind of silly because the electromagnetic force is 10^42 times stronger than gravity, so you have to set up absolutely impossibly precise electromagnetic confinement apparatus to measure the relatively tiny gravitational force

* So instead, they formed anti-hydrogen (which is neutral), and shot them (10^6 at a time, as my understanding of the text goes?) into a vertical magnetic trap

* They waited for the anti-hydrogen to either "rise up" or "sink down" to the top or bottom walls of the apparatus and measured the frequency of annihilations

* They biased the vertical magnetic field to various values, to see, at what magnetic field bias, the "top" and "bottom" annihilations were exactly 50/50.

* If anti-matter is repulsive, they would expect to need a magnetic field bias that would "help the atoms stay down" to get to the 50/50 "top" and "bottom" rate.

* They measured that they needed a magnetic field bias applied to the anti-hydrogen equivalent to "pushing them up" with 0.75g (+/- 0.25g or so), so anti-matter is attractive. No new physics.

* 10^-13 % chance that anti-matter is repulsive

* Rules out quite a lot of cosmological work that used repulsive antimatter to explain various troublesome cosmology roadblocks (dark energy, etc.)
The argument is implied by the way the page is formatted - Look at this, it's very difficult to read because it's in YAML. This is disingenuous.
This looks interesting - I use OONX to call my PyTorch models from .NET but so far it’s meant I’ve not been able to test out JAX based libraries since they don’t have ONNX export and it has also meant I had to write C# boilerplate code to preprocess my input data into the form required by the model.

Potentially this could be a lot better but I’d be curious what speed overhead the IPC layer adds. At least with ONNX you get a nice speed bump :)
