Yes-- the well-worn quote proves my point. It is indistinguishable from magic to people who don't know how it works, and not challenging that perspective is a luxury afforded to people who don't want to reason about it or solve real problems with it.

You only know what the building blocks are for the required software. You don't know what the other far more consequential building blocks are. You can't just assume they don't exist or aren't consequential because you don't know they're there or how they work.

You're looking at a straight, mile-long, 10 foot thick wall from the side and assuming you're looking at a 10 foot wide wall that's a few inches thick. And then, despite someone who builds walls like that telling you otherwise, you insist you could knock it flat with a wrecking ball in a matter of seconds. It doesn't matter if the wrecking ball is exponentially better than the hammer you're used to, it's still not going to do what you think it does.

This sort of hubris which is endemic to current dev culture was a major factor in my deciding to leave the software industry.
GitHub Accounts Compromised in Deceptive Campaign
I’ve looked everywhere for this in NodeJS & adjacent stacks; almost all migration tools seem to focus on tables, columns and rows. None seem to deal with views, functions, triggers.

I only got back into Postgres this year, after almost a decade away from SQL. It’s kind of bizarre to me that the migration tooling is still at the stage where a 1 line change to eg a Postgres function requires a the whole function to be dropped and re-created?

I understand this is needed at the db level, but surely a “definition” that generates the final migration is doable; it would make such a huge difference in code reviews and to understand how a function/etc changed over time.

Am I just looking in the wrong place? Does this exist? If not, how come? Is it really that hard to do?
But up to that point, which is way down the article, the whole thing is written as if it could be talking about people. “The heart”, “the gut”: without qualifying these (repeatedly) the assumption people will make is that it’s talking about humans.

Looking to China for ethical business practice seems pretty bad to me. I don't think some imaginary race to agi is a good excuse for violating the rights of thousands of people. If you're getting value out of someone's data and they're not being compensated, some kind of shitty externality is happening. Hurting authors and artists to the point that they make fewer works that can be fed to the AI also hurts AI companies in the long run, and also it sucks a lot.
Last time I visited NYC was 2015. Just checked my Airbnb history, $45 a night for a room in bed stuy.

$250 a night is insanity. I guess I should be thankful I visited NYC when I did, because it looks like I’ll never be able to afford to go back.
Suppose you have office space in the jail, and give him (or anyone else) the opportunity to apply for remote jobs at anyplace willing to hire him - with the caveat that he loses office access unless he demonstrates that he's maximizing his potential to earn money, all of which will go directly to compensating victims. (Assume that he can't have Zoom calls with arbitrary colleagues of his choice. He can only have Zoom calls with Bill Lumbergh.)
I read that a while ago and thought that it was interesting: Hofstadter was right that it would require much more general approaches than Knuth's approach of 'think very hard and tweak a hand-engineered knob', because that's how all the past VAE/GAN/RNN work on typography-related stuff has worked.

As for the broader question of whether such approaches are general AI, well, that's a bullet Hofstadter is increasingly willing to bite, as upset as it makes him: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/kAmgdEjq2eYQkB5PP/douglas-ho...
"The Cosmic Pulse of Life" by Trevor James Constable has a decent section on Wilhelm Reich with particular emphasis on Orgone Accumulators and Cloudbusters (including diagrams and photos of the author's own devices).

An interesting book which also includes details of Ruth B Drown and her Radionics devices, plus attracting and then photographing plasma lifeforms in infrared.

I'm not recommending it as a serious scientific treatise (I've no expertise in the relevant fields to allow me to either endorse or debunk [though the latter is the usual assumption]), but rather as an interesting read.
Flyway is generally the most popular. Django/alembic in the python world.

I think most migration tools are missing a lot of features that would make them safer and easier to use. Modern teams merge a lot and deploy frequently, but most migration tools are built for a db admin manually running commands.

I wrote a migration cli tool (and golang library) that I think is more suited to modern workflows, if you check it out I’d appreciate any feedback!

Yes, there is no denying that self-service repair would help the people who are willing and able to do so.

However, I'm just saying that market is not incentivized to do so. The BOM cost would be too high and the volume too low for it to be a cheap phone to begin with, so the affordability angle is a non-starter. Cheap high-volume glued-together phones will always be cheaper.

If people really can't afford a screen replacement at a repair shop, the market will sell them a <=$50 phone. If people really don't want to buy a $50 phone and want to spend more for an iPhone, they have demonstrated that they are willing to make the sacrifice to do so.

If people want an iPhone, then the Fairphone is not a solution to that problem either.
Yes, this is a fascinating topic; because although we know that 0.0G as in the International Space Station is unhealthy in many ways that 1.0G on Earth is not (1), the in-betweens are relatively unknown.

e.g. How much of the health benefits of 1G do you get at 0.9 G? at 0.5G or 0.1G? Where's the inflection point?

Would you still get the benefit if you rest in full gravity for 8 hours, and then move out of the ring section of a space station for the rest of the day? Would 1 hour per day in gravity do it?

How would people's health be impacted by a long-term stay on the Moon (at 0.17G ) or Mars (0.38G) ?

This is not well understood, and hard to study without more experimental data. Which would have to be gathered Off Earth.

And we might need to know sooner or later.

On the Moon you could do the Experiment on site, and bring people back on relatively short notice if it does not go well. But for Mars, if it doesn't work out there it's a long haul back, most of it at 0.0G.

There have been proposals to build small spin rings in orbit to do the experiments on Astronauts, but these plans have not happened yet. (2)

Been reading the code.. very tidy. However the Complete step (e.g. in op_set_notnull.go) renames the temporary column name to the proper column name on the underlying table.. but while the docs describe the view on the new schema getting updated to refer to the now renamed underlying column, I do not seem to find the step where it happens? Also, shouldn't those two steps be in a transaction to ensure no failed queries in between - otherwise that's enough to be qualified as downtime ihmo? Quite dubious to see that `createView` is only called once, on `Start`, and that there doesn't seem to be locks or transactions.

Unless obviously the view has magic to use either column name based on what's available on the underlying, but I did not see that either on `createView`.

After exposure to this field for many years, the last decade was stunning.

I say “was”, because the speedup in the last 6-18 months has been another thing altogether.

I am not concerned with what we will be able to two years hence, but with how much faster progress will be. And then again, and again.
What's the opinion here on decimal floating point (_Decimal32/64/128)? I'm guessing there's a significant amount of business software using double for monetary amounts out there that could benefit this being standardized. I think it has been in gcc for over a decade as an extension though...

Yep! You can use our agent to run it locally with Docker. Just go to "org settings -> agent" in our site and use the deployment instructions.
Similar claims have been made about MRAM, FeRAM and similar devices for many years, hailed as replacement and unification of both storage and DRAM. MRAM isn't completely vaporware, but it's not available at the prices or densities of DRAM.

So, will it scale down? Will it be cheap to manufacture?
Yes if you choose to use your data like an idiot then you will generate idiotic conclusions.

This does nothing to negate the value of data used intelligently.
Laws saying you can't pump your own gas? Having to prepay inside? Wow, I'm flabbergasted, and it's a bit funny you're thinking it's insane the other way around. I guess it's what you're used to.

When tanking before paying, I also used to get into the car and move it so that someone else could fill while I was inside(it would start a new transaction when you put the nossle back), probably to you look like a dash from the bill. Then walk inside saying "hundred and fifty something on pump 3 is mine".

But I haven't seen a pump not accepting card in what, 20 years, here? So haven't used anything else for ages (and now got an electric car anyways)
They said the person that rear ends someone is at fault, which in your scenario is the person who is who crashes into the waiting person from behind.
IMO it's not very interesting if you start with a blatantly unsafe assumption like putting a wildcard NOPASSWD line in sudoers. This would be interesting if it was somehow a default configuration, but it's blatantly weird to add it and then break it, given that it is a contrived configuration that I don't think you could easily convince sysadmins to add.

I assume the point of this is as a practice exercise for a potentially less contrived use case. That's cool, but it's still not particularly interesting...
If you read the article it answers this very question, with examples.

Another approach I've found useful for this - turn off your monitor, or turn your brightness down to 0.

During my masters thesis in a chemistry lab, I got a side task to look at a data analysis script and make it run faster. It was a "C/C++" code (i.e. procedural C-style code using C++ stdlib for convenience) that read a file line by line and then fed it to a slow processing function, then aggregated the results. It took over a day to run.

Without even looking at the processing function, which I considered some sciency science, I set up pthreads and mutexes on the result array and such to reap almost perfectly linear scaling. So far, so good.

Then I ran a profiler to see what was actually taking so long.

... Uh, why are you spending all this time copying strings back and forth?

Turns out they passed all strings by value. Sprinkling in a few const & here and there got a 1000-fold speedup or such. I felt pretty stupid for my multithreading antics after that.
I don't think that scales: a lot of the complexity is in the detail. It's pretty hard for it to meaningfully live with someone whose job is all about higher level concerns and bigger, more forward-looking moves.

>the very strong link between poverty and (certain types of) crime [0].

"Very strong" is not a very useful description. Quantitative explanations are important. Unfortunately, your linked paper is not available. This one is:

https://www.academia.edu/download/3521147/Pratt___Cullen_200...

Poverty is listed, but it is not a stronger effect than religiosity, family disruption, or firearms ownership. The strongest effects found in this meta-analysis were from "strength of non-economic institutions" and "unemployment (length considered)".

It is always a little frustrating to hear from a certain kind of politically motivated poster who is very interested in in-depth critiques of any theory of crime except their own conviction that poverty is the sine qua non of theft and violence. The evidence does not support this view.
I only had an issue with an iPhone once (yellowing around the edges of the display), I took it to the Apple Store and they replaced the screen. Probably the bulk of repairs (display, battery, shattered glass) don't entail a full replacement.
I wish but it will never ever happen. How may people would pay $14 for Facebook? 0.001% maybe? That's more than Netflix!
Yeah that relationship is strange. Seems to me they should have used that Cutler/MICA thing to make a huge amount of money and help their PC division.

Not sure exactly what that 'Strategic Relationship' bought them. Seems to me all the companies making partnerships with Microsoft got shafted. Microsoft were always somehow able to use getting sued into making profitable deals for them in the long run. Because most companies didn't want to drive home the dagger, but rather get a few concessions on some kind of partnership.
I'm tired of tech companies abusing the public then asking for forgiveness.

> Yeah, I think content-addressed encryption is a good default. It means that anything you add is only accessible to those you share it with.

My first thought about that is a problem around how hashes gets passed around. When you add something to IPFS, it "provides" the resulting hash to the DHT (the submission article goes more into this), so other nodes know how to get it. If you then use the same hash for encrypting the content, it's basically as worth as using no key, as other nodes already know the hash because your node told them about it.

So, lets not provide the hash when you add it then? But then the whole content-discovery part falls apart, how are nodes supposed to find the content if no one knows who has what hash?

In the end, it sounds like a simple idea, but I'm not sure it'd provide value on a public network like IPFS.

Nobody should treat “Science” like a religion. It’s good to see that people now have some skepticism of the religion that’s being labeled as science.

The real issue is that there are trust problems with how we promote and fund research and there is insufficient funding dedicated to replicating important studies so too many of them turn out to be fake or resultant from process errors.

Class is a very useful concept to understand societies. It's not even an exclusively Marxist concept. Weber also uses the term, but uses different metrics than Marx to distinguish between classes. How can you effectively have a good understanding of feudal society without understanding the division between feudal lords and serfs. Or between citizens, outsiders and slaves in classical Greek societies?

In discussions about philosophy ans philosophical concepts, one do not need to agree with all the interlocutor's assumptions: it is just required to understand them and discuss them in a balanced way.

I've never seen them. It doesn't surprise me. Trigraphs were added to support machines without full ASCII support, lacking characters like ~ # { } and so on.

I can only imagine the extra strain having a dongle plugged into your phone puts on the port with the phone being in your pocket. Say what you will about 3.5mm, but it is robust in that scenario. I've never had a 3.5mm port break before the cable that is plugged in.

USB-C ports wear out within a couple of years from just slight strain on a charging cable.

This is not the solution you claim it to be.
