Thank you for that correction and history.

I got it from Tetlock, and didn't realize that his applying it to intellectuals wasn't original to him. I also previously knew about it from Archilochus.

Regardless, it is a useful insight. We usually shouldn't trust talking heads who seem certain. And the exemplar that I hold in my mind was Karl Rove's 2012 meltdown as he refused to question his certainty that Romney would win: https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2012/11/07/16458...
It would be helpful if you'd point out what term is appropriate. Given the reference to "my country", odds are that they're not a native speaker. (I can't tell from the English though, but I'm not a native speaker myself.)
They apparently sell NFTs by the "crypto art" link, I wonder if that's what their business model actually is...
Just curious, how does that work out usually. Seems there would be a loss of trust between employee and employer that would make continuing that relationship untenable for one side or the other.

Theoretically if you have many unions competing for work, this would be the case.

Practically that's not how it tends to work in the US. In most cases there is one industry wide or company specific union, without competing alternatives.
Ok… I reject your reality and substitute my own.

In this reality I don’t have to do the mental gymnastics where the formal *sciences* aren’t sciences.

In this reality there is at least one unfalsifiable (not even in principle) true claim: the halting problem

This renders falsifiability as a modal criterion. Useful in some scientific contexts - useless in others.
The algorithm just gives you more of what you asked for. :)
The question is about encoding.
It is significantly parallelizable because you are doing a search for the best encoding you can find.
Also at a micro level there are things like motion search for which vector ops are useful. So I would say that it's likely they will look into that.

The different shape is actually what makes them better. They sit flush in the laptop, which means from a day to day usage standpoint, they behave the same as having the ports fixed into the system. However, because they are modules, you can swap them as needed like you can a dongle.
The interview is available on youtube, it has nothing to do with the Russians. Other reports with citations [1]. The zionists are projecting their war crimes in their previous massacres like Der Yassin and Sabra and Shatila onto the resistance, which it the most ridiculous thing ever if you know even a tiny bit about the resistance.

What's happening is simply genocide and the whole world is watching. We now see exactly what the pro nazi supporters were thinking when their regime was in genocide mode, it's happening again today with the zionists and their supporters.

I am not arguing that there is a lot of C++ code and that this code will be around for a long time. But I would prefer to see C++ as a language with a future and not as the language some well-paid dinosaurs use to keep the legacy code-base running while all the cool stuff happens elsewhere. "C++ will make a great legacy language" is underselling it.

But we might be wrong: Some government or consumer org or something _could_ step in and start to require the use of memory safe languages or just discourage the use of C/C++ in anything they buy. That would hasten the replacement of C++. I am afraid this is getting more likely based on how the C++ community handles growing concerns about memory safety outside of the development communities.

I have seen presentation on safety by people I respect for their contributions to the C++ language that all said a combination of these things:

* you said "C/C++", so you must be clueless
* you do not know what safety means, let us explain that to you
* everybody else does it wrong and is not really secure either
* we can not solve the problem, because everybody uses C++ for the tricky bits that other language can not do because they are oh so safe
* other languages are not as safe as they claim as they can all call into C++
* it will act swiftly, it will probably only take us a decade or so
* you can use some extra tools somehow, that somebody will probably write
* asking devs to follow our recommendations has never worked before, so we need something to enforce things. Let's ask all devs to please use this new thing.
* Devs unfortunately do not follow best practices and there is nothing we can do about that

That does not seem to be a very convincing communication strategy to me, even less so when other communities show that real improvements are possible.
I never understand why people compare the Pi with NUCs. The latter is an order of magnitude more expansive (new, it’s hard to consider used stuff for serious work), has no GPIO built in, consumes way more power…

It’s in a whole other category.
You should especially consider the role of a historian or the person who wishes to set out to correct facts and figures that are in error in Wikipedia, this is precisely what they need to correct it, to be able to trace the lineage of the error and correct the associated facts and figures like an excel sheet would, it’s very important especially with LLM’s that can’t cite their sources and google having gone to shit to find them, errors are quickly propagated across the web like some kind of crypto mixer, it becomes difficult to verify

I'm at a FAANG, still getting treated like shit.

At least you get paid more for it though.

> The way that math is taught to most people is absolutely atrocious, involving rote memorization, following rules for the sake of following rules, very little intuition involved.

The older I get the more I realize the importance of memorization if you want to _actually_ apply maths to solve problems, as opposed to learning for the pleasure of it. When I was a kid I was all about the ideas.

How to Ship a Prototype
Will you state that Hamas should give up as a means of ending the conflict?

To test your moral and semantic consistency.

Your "retributive genocide" label doesn't hold if the conflict ends as soon as Hamas is eleminated, which it would. And which they can effect in this instant by giving up.

Not that people are obligated to or widely accepting of the morally and logically inconsistent labels of Hamas supporters. Hamas who began this conflict with a massive war crime.

Your straw man attempt is unskilled and indicative of your weak position.

You lie a lot. To yourself and to your readers. I never said "just consequences". You won't launder Hamas propaganda through this conversation. Every innocent death is an injustice on the head of Hamas and its supporters: many being Palestinian. Hamas can give up in this hour. Or better yet they can invent a time machine, return to October 6th, and cancel their plan for the massive war crime that started this.

The penalty for which, and which would save the most Palestinian lives, is Hamas giving up in the nearest possible moment.

They could have given up immediately in order to save the most possible Palestinian lives. Or moved out from behind their human shields, immediately. They didn't. Every moment that they do not is for the continuity of their war at the calculated expense of Palestinian civilian lives.

Let's see a single pro Palestine protest whose primary message is toward that single most effective goal.

inbfre your not so covert Hamas support and October 7th justifications.

But there are still things you need to avoid that would get you fired if your performance dropped and there are still things you can do that would improve or decrease your job prospects on the open market if the company ever goes under or is forced to let you go.

That's the beauty of it, it actually allows them to double dip. People have started to buy into the "advertising is bad" concept, but without understanding that it's bad because of all the data collection, so they think that if they are paying to stop seeing ads, they're somehow safer. Meanwhile Meta can continue to make money off of their profile and data, and their subscription fee, while also getting access to a valuable feature for targeting.

The argument that "if you don't pay for the product, you are the product" does not work in the inverse. If you are paying, you might still be the product. See also: your ISP, Spotify, your bank, etc. It is impossible for the free market to regulate itself with so much money on the table.
Having grown up in a world where 8 bit computers with 4-16k ram (and no storage) cost the equivalent of $1000, inflation adjusted, this seems like an almost insane complaint. Hardware is so cheap now compared to software which is still very expensive to produce. A person could spend less than a $100 on a computer and make that money back very quickly doing various digital tasks on fiverr.
I see stuff like this every day. It is a natural consequence of people who only “develop” by gluing things together. God help them if they’d actually have to write some core function themselves.

What Qualcomm has is a modem and modem patent monopoly. There were early Android SoC competitors e.g. nVidia Tegra. The issue was the modem. Not the CPU.

100%. Context propagation is _the_ key to distributed tracing, otherwise you're only seeing one side of every transaction.

I was hoping odigos was language/runtime-agnostic since it's eBPF-based, but I see it's mentioned in the repo that it only supports:

> Java, Python, .NET, Node.js, and Go

Apart from Go (that is a WIP), these are the languages already supported with Otel's (non-eBPF-based) auto-instrumentation. Apart from a win on latency (which is nice, but could in theory be combated with sampling), why else go this route?
Correct, the dongles connect via ethernet cables (not ip protocol) to the raritan unit. Then you access the raritan via IP to access the dongle outputs.
There are many ways to architecture well that doesn’t mean prematurely introducing micro services.

I’m a fan of microservices btw.

Premature optimization and scaling is almost as bad of a form of technical debt as others when you have to optimize in a completely different manner and direction.
Given the political climate surrounding COVID I find it difficult to trust any numbers from any source, with even the raw data having potential for obfuscation and ambiguity.

Even ignoring my personal bias on biases, a pandemic is by nature transient, whereas the working conditions cited prior were (presumably) typical conditions that could be expected.

All that to say that your comparison strikes (hah) me as at best immaterial to the comment you replied to.
I know of an engineer who built a work queue by having a chain from an app to kafka to a processor to Kafka to a database writer.

Literally instead of a table.

This stuff is everywhere. Microservices made it worse and half legitimized it.
Why not if the vector is 0,2 and then multiply it by 0,2 you get double the magnitude 0,4?
That's actually a valid reason to spin off a business, especially if you happen to know you'll cross the inflection point in ~5 years. It isn't the same as the "legacy liabilities" game, though. Some investors want the growth business, some want the stable business, some want a cheaply-priced declining business (seriously; look into anything that pays royalties).
Here in the US and many other first world countries the population is getting very old. We'll need to bring in younger people who look different to keep the average age down. This obviously has all sorts of side effects. The other problem is the wealth inequality it creates. Wealth compounds with time plus the older generation grew up in a boom period. Add in the fact that they were able to buy cheap housing which has appreciated by a large amount and are effectively blocking new affordable housing from being created in many areas (NIMBY's) and we have a very interesting predicament.

My Facebook is completely useless due to all the suggested posts that appear in my feed. They're all memes that are of no interest to me and they cover up any posts from the few friends that still use Facebook.

Not being active on social media has meant a lot of old friends have drifted out of my life so I'm trying to force myself to be more active on it but sadly there are no enjoyable (or usable) platforms left.
That reads like the KRAZAM Microservices sketch.

If we're talking a security firm paying minimum wage hired by the HOA to do rounds at a gated townhouse complex, that's not some unattainable luxury for someone making "just" $100K.
If you have two separate processes running in two separate containers... those are two separate services. You need to solve the same problems that would come with running them on two different EC2 instances: what's the method for communicating with the other container? What happens if the other container I'm calling is down? If the other container is down or slow to respond to my API calls, am I dealing with backpressure gracefully or will the system start to experiencing a cascade of failures?
These notes are excellent. One good thing is how often Terence Tao gives real life examples and analogies, contrary to what one may expect from a fields medal winner. From utilitarian perspective, reading Axler's book looks like comically bad use of one's time.

>Non-soldered storage. Seriously. Storage is the most likely component to fail. SSDs only have so many write cycles.

One thing to note is the quality of Apple’s storage is above and beyond anything else you can buy. They have teams at every level of the storage stack and have an amazing focus on quality. From individual chips all the way up to the filesystem, all of the software is customized to extend the lifespan of the device. They do wear-leveling so the larger the drive you buy with your device the longer the device will last, but honestly the drives they come with will last much longer than 99.9 of people will ever actually use a Mac.
Ngl, its a big PITA if you say thing A, and some people understand A, B, C and D and then get mad at you for supporting D. This happened to me some times before and i absolutely hate it. Seeing your argument that its a baddy thing makes me feel very uneasy.

And the "dog whistle" thing you mentioned is conceptually that, accusing someone of saying something they didn't exactly say. I hate this concept. How would someone even proove that something they said wasn't a "dog whistle"?
You mean like namespacing? What language did you have in mind?

How many people over 65 fit this description? [1]

I’m really tired of this narrative. Older people died by orders of magnitude more than younger or working class people. Orders of magnitude. Don’t try and say “hindsight is 20/20” because this was known from the start. Ask any nursing home.

This comment is NOT meant to at ALL be political. Fuck Covid. Fuck making masks a political issue. Fuck all the Covid deniers. Fuck the anti-vax people.

Covid killed old people and those with co-morbidity. If we took all the money given out and gave it ONLY to those people such that they were mandated stay home and survive, however that needed to happen to ensure they avoided infection, imagine how different the would world be right now. /rant

Unpopular opinion on this site and I expect I’ll see that reflected here.

The thing about burning bridges is you don't know when you'll need them.

Let's say 5 or 10 years later you're applying to a job where one of these upper-level people now work. How do you want them to remember you? The know-it-all who wasn't a team player and kind of an asshole? Or the engineer who gets things done and has demonstrably shown to land impact and value, an engineer the exec would consider lucky to have?

Some of you will say you wouldn't want to work for one of these executives again. But people change, incentives change, the environment changes. Have you ever made a technical decision you later regretted?

And maybe you don't work for them. Maybe you're applying to a different company where someone knows these previous upper-level management folks and they ask about you. How do you want that recommendation to come across? "That engineer was an asshole.", "That engineer was amazing, I wish we could have kept them. We made a big mistake by not trying to keep them.".
Me getting swindled sure sounds better than:

>The "problem" is that most people prefer to not lose their life savings because their cat stole a little piece of metal and dropped it in the forest.
I don't want to get too tied up in the terminology, but "microservices-first" does not seem to be the problem the post is describing:

One way to mitigate the growing pains of a monolithic backend is to split it into a set of independently deployable services that communicate via APIs. The APIs decouple the services from each other by creating boundaries that are hard to violate, unlike the ones between components running in the same process

> making it impossible to audit your DNS records

Every DNS provider I've used in recent memory, has offered a non-authoritative / non-DNS-exposed "comment" or "description" field for each record. Even if you aren't doing "DNS infrastructure as code" but just editing DNS records in a UI dashboard, you can just use these fields to describe the motivation behind each record at creation time.
This is my experience of once being part of a union as well as with working with union folks. If it was that time of day, the thing would be left for the next day, unless you wanted to pay super extra to have someone else come in. Can I just have a non-union guy do this trivial thing? No, that's a humongous violation, no. You will have to wait till Monday, sorry!

That said in this case, I hope the NYT goes down. They deserve it. Go union, do your thing that you're so good at.
