What I wonder is if we can develop immunity (not boosting, assuming never been infected before) from being exposed to small doses, or do we need at least one full blown infection.
Twitter had a distinct advantage in that non-users could still, er, use the site and read threads and replies without logging in. Personally I have known not to click on Facebook links for years, but I could still give an ad impression to Twitter now and again. Now I just avoid Twitter links all together.
The result is identical to regular attention in transformers but training can be about four times faster, so there is almost no reason to not use it.

OK, then it sounds like you have a legitimate bug: a far clearer report than anyone else has provided here. Perhaps you should communicate it.

> And I disagree that writing disk images to disks / partitions without explicitly giving dd the size isn't a typical use case. '

I didn't say that. I just said (in other comments) that if you overrun the size of the device or partition, the kernel reports an error and then dd whines that it couldn't write the last bit.

$ sudo dd if=/dev/urandom bs=512 of=/dev/fd0
dd: error writing '/dev/fd0': No space left on device

The only person in the issue with data loss is the reporter, who was dding image files onto offsets on an unformatted SD card. When one of them got longer, it created problems-- overwriting the first bit of the next image. If you're doing something like that, you really ought to be providing the size.
that's it.

I'd think that if one attacks the sender, one could even do it without the purported senders cooperation could also cause it to happen.

Now, especially because google rotates DKIM keys this would be such a long game attack that in my view, it's very improbable to be such a scenario.
> So in other words you don’t eat that yourself and prefer to eat either high end quality food (that’s unlikely to have questionable ingredients and tastes good) or bake at home? Seems we are not so different after all.

Sure -- I never said we were different about what we might choose to eat, but instead why we might choose it.

Thanks a lot, that helps.
To be honst made a lot of stuff.

- real time trading system on orderbook level

- market research and visualisation

- timeseries modelling with different algorithms

- research different approaches, like reinforcement learning for trading

- database design and optimization. Currently the database has 42 billion entries

- web3 coding with solidity

- software architecture

- logging, don't lough. Huge part. Very hard to implement.

How did I beat the competition:

- was quicker than any one else.

- Also guess had more clever strategies, but it is hard to get into the details.
A friend of mine who is a plumber said he tells people this all the time, basically "this is a pretty small job and not what we normally do. If I did it, I'd have to take one of my plumbers off of this big job we're in the middle of and charge you what that is costing me, here's the number of a handyman I know who can take care of that for you"
So did the Irish, until it wasn't necessary to have 9 kids for enough of them to make it through childhood to take over the family farm.
> If you're in an out-group or unpopular, it's not clear whether you're better off with n local pubs making a decision to accept your money informally or n/2 national banks making a decision while subject to oversight.

What is clear, however, is that you're better off with both systems existing in parallel because then you can use either one, rather than having the informal one prohibited by law so that you're forced into the other one whether it works for you or not.

> it's not like you're choosing from 5 local pubs. The question is whether the pub you attend likes you enough to take your check.

You are choosing from 5 local pubs. Even if you don't attend one regularly, it's in the same town. You could have mates there who vouch for you. Or you go to the pub of the person who wrote the check, they confirm that they actually wrote it and then it gets cashed on the basis of their standing rather than yours.

> Far better to have things work okay without any other entity being involved, sure. But there are reasons why banks exist.

You want a regulated and insured entity where you can safely store your money, sure. That doesn't explain why they should have a monopoly on various other aspects of finance though. Or why they would even need a monopoly on that -- if you want the assurances you get from a regulated bank, there they are. If you want a permissionless money transfer system that anybody can use and nobody can be refused, why shouldn't that exist too?
Yes.

Just because you become homeless, doesn’t mean you lose every single item you own.

A phone is one of the more useful/valuable possessions for a homeless person - you need some kind of internet/telephone device to engage with the services that can help you, for navigation, etc etc
> "must be able to lift 50 lbs"

Is that a real thing?
Chicken and the egg. You can't really make people not want cars without better alternatives, which requires investments that aren't being made.

I want a car, because I need a car. But put in a few bullet trains and offshoots, a business model for vehicles that enables access to a $100/month consumer fleet of shared vehicles so I can grab a truck, minivan, whatever as needed, and I will happily skip ownership.
I'm sure there are many people for whom that is true, but there are also many people who would laugh at the idea of driving two miles instead of walking, or laugh at the idea of driving six miles instead of cycling (even with a bag or two of shopping).

I think a lot of the difference between people comes down to their childhood - what they learned as default behaviour. Though obviously people can change as they grow up too, either personality wise or having health/physical reasons they either can't walk far or can't drive at all. But my point is that just because some people feel that 3 minutes is the maximum time for walking before a car should be used instead it doesn't mean that short distance is an immutable fact, and many people could get used to walking slightly further distances and discover that no only is it not the end of the world, but it's even a good way to stay or become a bit fitter and healthier!
There are potential dark matter candidates are hot like new kind of neutrinos. But observations have ruled those out so the remaining candidates are mostly cold.

Most of the dark matter candidates are not ordinary matter but particles that don’t interact with ordinary matter.
I’m talking about the other direction: religion influencing people’s culture. Religion and culture are deeply intertwined in a bi-directional exchange.

Asia offers a good example of how religion makes a difference. The whole area has been the subject of extensive population control efforts. But the Muslim fertility rate in India is markedly higher than the Hindu rate. And the fertility rate for Indian Buddhists is much lower than either, and closer to East Asian countries with a strong Buddhist tradition.
Or people just get their groceries delivered. Way more convenient, not expensive anymore (I get unlimited deliveries for a fairly paltry annual fee), and saves on journeys as the truck just loads up on lots of people’s deliveries all at once.

It also scales better - if more people are having groceries delivered then each trucks stops become more closely clustered (unless the computers involved are just doing a poor job).
This article is new (just one-two weeks ago) but the latest research based on is from 4 years ago. Poor choice because few months ago a study (https://journals.aps.org/prd/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevD.107.1...) reopened the possibility of being dark matter afterall.
It seems to me that all WEBP’s problems stem from extremely delayed or still nonexistent support from various programs and platforms. Does anybody know if there’s a good reason for this?

It's very interesting though isn't it! These people were obviously skilled enough to make a clean environment for pickle to... pickle, but were seen as untouchable.

I would have thought that the juxtaposition was so obvious that the people who weren't 'untouchable' didn't really believe it, but went along with it because everyone else did, too.

I think this is probably a kind of pluralistic ignorance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluralistic_ignorance
After reading the article, I still have no idea what the bill actually says.
Now try it with someone skeptical and not credulous. If I'm in the other room I won't be holding up any fingers at all I'll be doing something else entirely which you won't guess.
infra is not going to change in the US. Too much individual ownership at stake.

For example I care about the environment but not enough to throw away a one million dollar suburban house for it.

Basically to fix this problem is essentially to cause current suburban housing to depreciate in value until the property has become essentially worthless which is against much of the populations self interest as many people own homes. Either way, this kind of thing has sort of already happened in Japan.

That being said in CA there are measures to combat this problem. ADUs and SB-9 to increase density, but adoption has not yet been that wide spread.
Sounds great - there’s just one problem: The desktop applications will still almost entirely be written for Windows. Or MacOS. Or Android.

So yay, you can buy a device… and 99% of people will install the same OS on it that it would have originally come with anyway. What’s the point here?

You’d have to say desktop apps must support all competing operating systems. But, hah, good luck with that.
If we are going to learn everything from the ground up, then I'm going to nitpick and say computers these days run the IETF network stack, not the OSI one. There are not, in fact, exactly 7 layers.
Aside from this, their Spaces service has had multiple outages, the service seems to be pretty unreliable in general (definitely compared to S3). A quick glance of their NYC3 status suggests they may have finally improved this recently, but I don't know what use case I would have for a version of S3 that goes down multiple times a year.
There could be an entire dark sector of the standard model that is completely decoupled from "our" particle world except through the Higgs. In that case future particle accelerators will be our only chance of ever catching a glimpse of this.

I’m not surprised. Americans alone traveled a staggering 3.26T (yes, TRILLION) miles (5.24T km) in 2022. [1] That’s a metric shit ton of tire wear particles leaking into the environment.

This is a direct result of how shitty our cities are designed. Single zoned swaths of land. High dependency on car centric transportation. None to minimal alternatives for anything else. Massive subsidies for various road infrastructure across all levels of government. Billions of dollars of handouts (sorry, “subsidies”) for O&G industry which generates trillions of profits collectively…

There’s only so much a single person can do. We need regulation at all levels of government. O&G and auto industries need to start paying reparations. Producers of plastics need to be taxed, regulated, monitored. Cities need to be redesigned/rebuilt.

The human body is producing about 80 watts of heat just from basic metabolism (unless you're dead) which you need to dissipate to keep your body temperature from going up. The rate of heat transfer out of your body is proportional to the temperature difference, so the environment needs to be cooler than your body.

If your environment was exactly the standard body temperature, your body would actually get hotter until the temperature delta was enough to dissipate 80 watts, which would likely be too hot to survive.
Pretty information-free article. From the announcement, it looks like online streaming services that make over $10 million have to register. I don't think individual podcasts have to register unless they are self-hosted and ridiculously successful.

If you have a podcast and you're mad about this, just host it on your own website and distribute with RSS. That's what a podcast is, and nobody will have to register anything.

Maybe change the link to https://www.canada.ca/en/radio-television-telecommunications...? The current article is basically a collection of quotes with a single factual sentence.
If you can make a plan to solve a technical problem and execute on it in a successful way you're an engineer. There may be differing levels of expertise and "rigor" but we should be more generous with the title if anything. There are a lot of extremely talented "non-technical" people out there building wild solutions with excel/zapier/etc... that deliver value and contain a ton of technical complexity but are very hacky and brittle, but at the end of the day it's still engineering.
Probably. Maybe a CEO or CTO? I don’t know those people. Maybe my parents who bought their house cheap in the 90s?

But don’t get me wrong, software developers do incredibly well there compared to the rest of the population. But income inequality is off the charts, so you have people earning nothing and also those million dollar houses that few can afford. An engineer working for an USA company remotely could probably rent it.
There have been actually many positive theories trying to explain what particles dark matter could be, they've all been proven wrong.

To me dark matter came about from this,

"As we understand gravity we can postulate how galaxies rotate given an estimate on its mass, galaxies do not rotate like this"

In this statement there are three elements;

1) Our understanding of gravity
2) Our estimates of the mass of galaxies
3) Our ability to determine how galaxies rotate.

At one point in time this last 100 years, we had "solved" gravity with regards to our solar system, and we were finding so many new particles that #2 seemed like a great explanation. However, we are now left with no room in our understanding of particles, I think its time to look at the other elements.

Put it this way, if we had never observed the galaxy, but developed the standard model in isolation. Then we looked at the stars and tried to define gravity, I'm not sure we'd be so quick to introduce a new type of matter to define gravity.
It's a Timescale feature that allows you to "just insert" metrics without first doing a schema migration to make sure a possible new label schema is supported. I.e. a feature that is taken for granted in native timeseries databases, which don't have to work around RDBMS schemas.

I assume it's doing an automatic ALTER TABLE when necessary, which modifies each row and somehow breaks compression across the sharded tables. Or at least an automatic re-compression would cause massive latency on insert that they wanted to avoid.

This has been a problem beyond "recent years". In part because of splitting the sales function from the technical function - which is many agencies as soon as they decide on growth vs specialization.

For clients with a little more time and budget - i.e. a little more forethought in general, it's good reason to hire someone more broadly technically competent or at least aware just to help with the process of hiring more specialized work. At least the first time around it can end up being a recursive problem: if you hire a hiring advisor who has their mind locked on just one way to do things, then you just shot yourself in the foot.
I mean, that story's about to be 15 years old, but I take your point.

When I'm asked to prototype something that seems to pose a real danger of the next step being "okay let's deploy this", I do it in Emacs with org-babel. That's more than enough of a programming environment to validate an idea, and like a notebook each code block's results become part of the document, so it's very observable - but thanks in no small part to Emacs's reputation as alien space magic for weirdos, nobody's ever been mad enough to consider trying to jam it in production as-is.
Nice writeup. It's one of those things not taught in school and always learn in the hard way.

We at Bytebase also recognize this and have spent over 2 years to build a solution for team to coordinate the database migrations better.
What is inconsistent about non-solipsistic idealism?
“We” is not nearly as many as you may believe. I would say most people don’t want to give up their car. That’s why people spend so much time maintaining their cars, polishing them, buying nicer ones, etc. Some people want to give up their cars, but you need everyone to want this, and they don’t. A technical solution is more likely to work than a mass social upheaval.
What struck me as interesting is that one could do FX easily in a pub out in Blarney near the castle, while there’s not a single FX place in Cork City itself. Same thing in Galway - can’t find a FX place anywhere in the city, but if you head out to one of the tourist destinations you can do so at the pub.

You can’t do foreign exchange at a bank or credit union anymore without an account.

OK, as someone who spent quite a long time living in a village with several pubs, let's dig into this!

If you want to be able to go to a pub, you have to allow for one to be built within walking distance. The absolute worst thing about American suburbs is that they have decided to enforce puritanical idiocy by not interspersing pubs with houses, which mean the DUI rates are ridiculous. And the places in the US where this is not the case are the most expensive, in a turn that surprises no-one.

As for Ansible, I think I'd rather do the farm labour, to be frank.
But we can do better. 92% of Americans own a car, only slightly higher than the rate in France, but the average American drives twice as many miles in a year as the average French person does [1]. There are a lot of trips that will always need a car. Lots of people still want to own a car, even if they live somewhere with a good rail network. But they don’t need to drive it as much. It’s not that they’re being forced not to drive, it’s that rail is such a great option for getting around that there’s simply no need to use a car for most trips. That should be our goal in the US.

Are horses actually environmentally friendly? I know that having a pet dog can be one of, if not the most, un-environmentally friendly things a person can do due to the amount they eat, so I could imagine horses having the same problem and not being as good as electric cars yet alone electric bikes, but I don't know anything about horses so maybe they're very efficient eaters?

I do know that back before cars, places like NYC had many tens of thousands of horses working in the streets, leading to huge amounts of horse shit everywhere (so much so that even though it does have industrial uses, it's value was practically zero), plus something like half a dozen horses dying on the streets every day and being left to putrefy - so some logistical improvements compared to last time needed at the very least, though 120 years ago people weren't caring much about the fuel efficiency comparisons.
Check out eg https://youtu.be/hmk5cxpAfcw where he’s flying by all the cars stuck in traffic on his human-powered peasant wheels.

Auto companies lobbied governments and put out propaganda to get cities to rip out street cars and rail in the early 1900s. They did this to sell more cars, so this is what we get.

This is definitely arguable. Dawkins in "The selfish gene" does argue that having grandparents around greatly increases the probability that children live to reproduce, and therefore there is a genetic imperitive for longevity.

Sadly this often happens because often times the machine works 99% of the time. So when the thing starts failing in 1% of the cases people will dismiss it because it worked in the previous 99% of the time. People have trained themselves to trust the results so questioning it does not even enter their minds.

It does remind me though of the book Systemantics:
https://www.amazon.com/Systemantics-Systems-Work-Especially-...

One of the core thesis in the book is :

The system itself does not actually do what it says it is doing (The Operational Fallacy).

This people and engineers as well often forget. Just because the system says it does X does not mean it actually does it. People would do well to cultivate a healthy skepticism towards those complex IT systems. They might not fail most of the time but they inevitably will.
