First, you should be careful about thinking you know people in general, and even if you could know such an abstract and totalizing thing, you don't need all the customers, just enough customers, or even plenty of customers.

Also, the very fact of charity shows that people must care about something other than price. Paying higher prices to interact with your neighbors is just a much smaller step on the same road of doing things you think are beneficial but that won't maintain your bank account at the highest possible value at that exact instant. Farmer's markets are another example of the same.

You're either looking at the wrong people or making the wrong changes, if you don't think anyone actually cares about anything other than price.

There's a spectrum between each function is a separate service, to everything is in one binary. The engineering part is finding the happy medium.
That makes sense but isn’t it reasonable to think congress should be involved if regulating a brand new technology?
Good luck trying to stop someone from giving away some computer code they wrote. This executive order does nothing of the sort.
> Getting the boundaries right between the services is challenging - it’s much easier to move them around within a monolith until you find a sweet spot. Once the monolith is well matured and growing pains start to rise, then you can start to peel off one microservice at a time from it.

I couldn't agree more. "Do not optimize your code" applies here.
undetectable levels are dectectable? So using CRISPER to eradicate HIV that you can not detect means you can't detect it after as well. This is not science.
Given that working class rubes like myself who finished college in a place my man can't even find in a map are somehow able to know what “cultural appropriation” or “gendered” or “heteronormative” mean, and do that by the same means as everyone else (reading about it) I'm going to presume that the good man has a very peculiar understanding of what "elite" means.
I guess a lot of it is the commitment to 4 doors, 2 full rows of seating. For a long time I didn't understand why pickups were so popular (didn't pay attention to cars at all), being so impractical for moving people -- until I realized that modern pickups are full-size SUVs inside, plus a short bed.
Really?? That's crazy
The thing with nurses is that there is no amount you can reasonably pay a nurse to risk their license by forcing them to provide literal medical neglect. I would rather strike, unionize, fight tooth and nail, if it meant I could avoid knowingly killing people because I don't have enough time to care for people. It is far, far more than just "working conditions".
There should be a distinction between doing a migration of a "monolithic" system to "microservices" vs adding functionality to a monolithic system by implementing a "microservice" that will be consumed by the monolithic system.

In some cases, microservices are helpful for separation of concerns and encapsulation.

But teams often get the idea that their monolithic system should be rewritten using "microservice" patterns. It's important to question whether the monolithic system is using the correct abstractions and whether spllitting it into different services is the only way to approach the deficiencies of the system.

In most systems there are bits that can (and probably should) be quite decoupled from the rest of the system. Understanding this is a more fundamental aspect of system design and does not apply only to monolithic or microservice approaches.

We’re continuing to work on fixes for impacted devices, and have already pushed out a Google Play system update that will help prevent this issue from being triggered on additional devices.

If you’re experiencing this issue: If your impacted device is unable to access media storage, we anticipate a system update will repair the issue and restore access to media files without requiring a factory reset. If your device is stuck in a "Pixel is starting" boot loop due to this issue, we are investigating methods that may be able to recover some data.

For users who are not experiencing this issue, or have already factory reset their device, we recommend avoiding creating or logging into a secondary user on the device until the OTA update is available.
The term "retirement savings" is too narrowly defined here, since it only includes things like 401k, savings accounts, and pensions.

Many people have their retirement savings entirely in rental real estate (I know several like this). Many people have small retirement accounts but millions of dollars in ordinary taxable investment accounts due to the myriad restrictions that the government places on what you can put into retirement accounts. All of these are outside the definition of "retirement savings", despite being actual retirement savings, but none of them are rare.

off topic, but Cython working with typehints instead of only using their custom cdef sytax is the best thing to happen to Cython, and imho the best reason for using typehints. I miss the days when “pure python” was a badge of honor, and by using typehints you can get speed from compiling when possible, and the portability of just running python otherwise. Of course that level of portability has really gone out the window with so many things dropping backwards compatibility over the years, but its still a nice dream.
Cloudflare's layer-7 protection is crap, but it's still orders of magnitude more effective than anything Linode or Hetzner can pull off.

Any major cloud or datacenter can block an old-fashioned UDP flood these days, but botnets have evolved too. Now they speak TLS and HTTP/2, and can send (relatively) small amounts of traffic to select endpoints to generate a large load.

In addition to blocking layer-3 and layer-4 floods, the DDoS mitigation service needs to MITM all your layer-7 traffic in order to determine which requests are legit. Cloudflare can do this (to some extent). AWS WAF can do this. Regular hosting companies can't, unless you use their load balancer and let them manage your TLS keys for you.
On the other hand, is this how much your personal data is worth to Facebook to sell? Do they really make £12.99/month/person on advertisement? Has to be more lucrative than I thought.

> The point of regulation is to mitigate damage that comes from unfettered access, no regulation can ever prevent it completely.

Except it is unfettered access -- anyone can access it for <$500. If someone wants a gun they need only log online & order a kit or order a 3d printer for $500 plus a pipe. What you're really doing is increasing the cost-of-acquisition in terms of time, but not reducing access. Aka gang member has the same level of access as before.

Take current AI software applications, everyone can access some really powerful AI systems. The cost-of-acquisition is dropping dramatically, so it is becoming more prevalent (i.e. LLMs that are pre-trained can be downloaded). That's not going to change, even with max regulation, I can still download the latest model or build it myself. It's not removing access to people, only possibly increasing cost-of-acquisition.

If we're worried about ACCESS you have to remove peoples ability to share information. Which requires massive surveillance, etc.

You didn't accidentally save half a million, you deliberately and intentionally saved them half a million, but now you regret it. That's not the same thing.

Large organisations are so woefully inefficient that I'm surprised they're able to compete at all, but they have a ton of money and economy of scale and all that, and along the way there's more than enough money to waste millions on stupid nonsense and inefficiency and nobody really cares.
Contrapoints has a good criticism of him.

I think the ragey criticisms are baited by him dancing around far right positions while otherwise talking pretty normal stuff. Anger based criticisms end up lying to make their point and then make Peterson more popular as a result.
Seems like the rich are spending lots on fancy cars and big houses. I’m not sure saying you support x or y belief is quite the same signal as a sports car.
Historically correctness wasn't seen as an important goal in C++ and so no, I don't think any of the three popular C++ stdlib implementations will do something vaguely reasonable for nonsense sort input. It's potentially faster (though bad for correctness) to just trust that this case can't happen since the programmer was required to use types with total ordering. So yes, I'd expect it to result in bounds misses in real software.
Devil's advocate: maybe because the author perceives "tickle down economics" as a position adopted by many of the working class and may even aide in survival.

You can't really retrofit culture and behavior, you can only very gradually move towards a particular goal and usually that's a multi-year effort, if it can be done at all.
If you can’t agree that physically harming people is bad, I don’t think we’re going to see eye to eye on this. But, your example of masochism is exactly my point. You can’t trust their reported state because people can bend their psychology to believe it to be fine. Nevertheless, torture/murder/rape, etc are all still objectively bad.
> Sorry, when you accuse dead children of planting bombs and deny/minimize the documented crimes against medical personnel shot

Ummm, I didn't accuse any dead children of planting bombs. And what I deny is that there is large-scale planned killing of journalists, I certainly don't deny that it ever happened.

> Perhaps I could introduce you to my jewish neighbor (and Israeli reservist) who hopped on the first plane to go commit war crimes.

You, on the other hand, flat out say that someone flying to Israel to defend their country is literally going to commit war crimes. Unless you know something more specific about what your neighbor is going to do, that's a pretty serious accusation to make.

So, just to know - is there anything at all that Israel could do right now that wouldn't be considered a war crime? Or do you honestly believe that the only moral move Israel can make at this point is to lay down our guns and, what, hope for the best?
Ten years ago there were an array of new vehicle maker regulations, particularly around fuel economy, that scale based on vehicle weight. The vehicle weight bar for purchasers to receive business expense tax relief was also set high. These ended up being a perverse incentive toward making trucks larger and heavier than ever, while lacking proportionate power (because of fuel economy). The result is comically large trucks getting stuck on tiny obstacles.

Now that large trucks have settled in consumer perception as the new and shiny, it's a self-enforcing vicious cycle regardless of regulatory reform.
See my comment above for why I didn't subscribe to YouTube premium. Interesting to see you've reached a very different conclusion.
The terrible argument, built over several pages, is that "defund the police" as a political conviction is a status symbol, because rich people live in gated communities and don't need police.

It ignores the evidence is a 10% increase in a single poll, in which the majority was not of the inverse opinion that police is without fault, they just had a slightly different outlook on necessary police reform being possible in the current structures. It's yet another deliberate misunderstanding of "defund the police" (not a maybe understandable accidental misunderstanding).

Would be interesting to have this poll broken down by race, putting those most affected by broken windows policing and police violence first. And also those who coined the term.
so what are you bitching about/suggesting should happen? People should not be allowed to sell their businesses for what they are worth?
Im surprised no one asked to automate an email to management of the status for the rollout of changes.

“We’ll need the percentage complete as well and a summary of the savings expected. It needs to be sent out every Friday at noon.”
Starts off with an interesting premise and makes me think, hey, maybe I should re-examine my priors, let's see the evidence. And then the evidence turns out to be something about people who "make more than $100K," and goes on to assert that they "live in gated communities" and "can afford private security." In 2023, "making over 100K" just means that you're usually on-time with your monthly housing payment.

Author may indeed be going somewhere with this, but I'd like to see stronger support for the thesis.
“A survey from YouGov found that Americans in the highest income category were by far the most supportive of defunding the police.”

“By far” means “10% more” in the actual graph the author cites, which comes from an online poll that had 1500 respondents. I’m no statistician but that seems like a small difference and small sample size to be the key piece of “data” here.

This article follows most tropes of behavioral science blog articles: broad moral statements taking a vaguely contrarian stance, analogies comparing humans to random animals (gazelles?), and “gotcha” survey data with questionable sample sizes. I find it difficult to take it seriously.
I recognize the spirit of your comment; however, "where the money comes from" is of immense importance to a business. When revenue comes from the end users, the business is properly incentivized to serve the users. When the revenue comes from 3rd party advertisers, the relationship between the business and its users is perverted.
Youtube music is really just a UI on top on the existing YouTube features. Even if they didn't offer it as a bundle "service", you could access every song just through Youtube itself.

Very early in my career I discovered some mission-critical network devices at the hedge fund I worked at that would have caused a network loop if either of the two machines were ever rebooted. The two servers were related to some feed data and I had noticed that they were cabled together oddly based on how their function was described to me.

The estimated cost of downtime for these systems was something like $7 million per minute. I had raised the issue to a couple of the staff responsible for the machines and to the networking team but was completely dismissed because "there is no way we would have hooked them up that way" and because I was the FNG.

I then raised the issue again at the weekly group meeting because it seemed important -- somebody was dispatched to check visually and came back to confirm what I said. It was a big deal -- the networking team had about 2 weeks of emergency work to do to resolve the issue cleanly.

EVERYONE was angry at me. Even though I had just averted a catastrophe for the company, I made everyone look bad by doing it and particularly because of my status/position on the team. It was an important lesson learned.
Can’t speak for GP but I want a $20 device with a wired Ethernet port. I’m using pis where they need to reliably communicate in real time.
Because of dependency issues like he mentioned. If I am using Library A which depends on version 1 of Library C and I need to start using Library B which depends on version 2 of Library C then I have a clear problem because most popular programming languages don't support referencing multiple different versions of the same library.
Have you tried GPT-V? I often throw it crazy stuff like medieval handwriting and it seems to do a pretty good job of reading and translating it.
I rarely see anyone claiming that microservices are never justified. I think the general attitude toward them is due to the amount of Resume Driven Development that happens in the real world.

In a feminized society that systematically elevates victims, status seekers must either LARP as victims (Singapore scions doing undergrad at Yale who march as "people of color") or make an ostentatious show of allyship, publicly subordinating their interest to that of the "oppressed".
The (sometimes) unwritten part of all of those demands is a reasonably priced ad-free version. Down the thread somebody stated an annual revenue of $18 per EU user, so they want to make an order of magnitude more revenue on you in order to not show you ads. Is that reasonable? I don't think so
US Military pursuing modern variant of B61 nuclear bomb, Pentagon says
The fact that they can make the metastable crystals when they isolate them suggests that contamination is more likely than morphic resonance (which doesn't have any solid evidence going for it). I don't know if the theory behind morphic resonance suggests the mechanism, but if so, would that mechanism be blocked in a similar fashion?
So saddle all the legacy liabilities in with the legacy business and slowly suck out the equity, while the flash business grows? I can see how that's a win for investors at least. Are the flash products still going to be branded WD?
Possibly hot take; everyone wants to be a manager because managers make more, but you can't have a bunch of managers unless you hire a bunch of people, and hiring a bunch of people that are all competent is hard.

> The feds can't even handle basic matters like net neutrality or municipal broadband or foreign propaganda on social media.

Those aren’t capability issues but questions of political leadership: federal agencies can only work within the powers and budgets Congress grants them. We lost network neutrality because 3 Republicans picked the side of the large ISPs, not because government technologists didn’t understand the issue. Municipal broadband is a state issue until Congress acts, and that hasn’t happened due to a blizzard of lobbying money preventing it. The FCC has plenty of people who know the problems and in the current and second-most-recent administration were trying to do something about it, but their knowledge doesn’t trump the political clout of huge businesses.

Foreign propaganda is similar: we have robust freedom of speech rights in the United States, not to mention one of the major political parties having embraced that propaganda - government employees who did spend years fighting it were threatened and even lost jobs because their actions were perceived as disloyalty to the Republican Party.

Do you think all prima facie economic problems can be resolved down to problems generally of individual responsibility/spending choices like this? Or just this one? Does the prosperity of some always assert the culpability of the rest with regards to their own poverty? Is the measure of person always relative like this?

What does it mean to you to live in world with other people in general? Are we all fundamentally competitors like this? Winners and losers in a game of skill (and definitely not of chance)? Does the existence of losers reinforce the necessity or merit of the game, of the structure in question? Or are we trying to make everyone winners, trying to teach them to get it together enough to not buy all their flashy cars and such?
Agree. Normal Python for loop apply to a Numpy array to do simple math is just pure nonsense.

Just tested how would it be without compile nonsense.

```

a = np.random.random(int(1e6))

%%timtit

np.average(a)

%timeit

np.average(a[::16])

```

And my result is that no matter how uncontiguous in memory (here I take every 16 elements like what they did, and I tested for 2,4,8,16), we are doing less operations so it always end up faster. Contrastingly their SIMD compiled code is 10-20X slower in uncontiguous case.

And for a larger array that is 16X of the contiguous one, but we only take 1/16 of its element, the result is like 10X slower as shown by the article. But I suspect that purely now you have a 16X larger array to load from memory, which itself is slow in nature.

```

b = np.random.random(int(16e6))

np.average(b[::16])

```

Which conclude that people should use Numpy in the right way. It is really hard to beat pure numpy speed.

Not universally, it all depends on how one values the use/enjoyment/value that they get out of the experience, and everybody values their time/enjoyment/convenience differently.
I have found that a good chunk of random opensource projects won't run on the zero 2. The ARM core is ARM7 and doesn't support modern instructions, so plenty of software just immediately dies with 'Illefal Instruction'.

Also, it's 32 bit, and a lot of software is starting to depend on the massive address spaces offered by 64 bit.

And there is no high ram model. Some stuff just gobbles so much ram that 512M isn't practical.
That was not convincing.

The article only touches two unorthodox beliefs: that we should defund the police (really a preference, not a belief) and that success is largely attributable to luck.

But the elites are more likely to believe conventional wisdom on climate change, on whether vaccines work, on whether the Holocaust happened, on whether digesting genetically modified organisms changes the consumer's DNA, any number of things. Heterodox beliefs in these areas do seem consistent with the hypothesis of in-group signaling, but not with signaling status.

Wanting to defund the police is likely correlated with not needing the police -- but that's likely simple ignorance, not status signaling.

Why the elites would be more likely to say luck is important is not obvious to me, but a single example does not justify the sweeping generalization that this article makes.
There's not really an alternative.

Broadcom is one of the few options out there for ARM SoC. Rpi could dump a bunch of money into making their own SoC, but that would really ballon the costs.

There is no better security than through compartmentalization. The other approaches are through obscurity (doesn't work at all) or correctness (unrealistic). Also, compare the number of CVEs of Qubes and any other system.
