I'm not so sure I agree with that. Even with chicken pot pie, there are absolutely a few different variations that (in my opinion) are equally valid- most notably, there's the question of whether it needs to have a crust underneath the filling or not. How thick should the filling be? I've had chicken pot pies where the filling is almost a soup, and ones where it's almost firm enough to pick up and eat a slice. Do you use traditional pie crust or a layer of puff pastry on top- or maybe nestle biscuits on top? Should I use potatoes or not, because that'll affect how hearty and filling it is? How about peas? I'll grant that if I use turkey I should call it "turkey pot pie", but what about Cornish game hen? What if I use parsnips instead of carrots?

Then there are different forms- what if I didn't make it in a pie tin, but folded the dough into a half-circle like a hand pie? Or perhaps a rectangle? It might be more accurate to call this a "chicken hand pie" but then you have the ironic problem that a diner might be more willing to order it if they understand that it's really a chicken pot pie in a different shape.

I know I'm being a bit pedantic here, but here's the thing- you're not wrong in spirit. But I think it's overly reductive to say "yes; there's only one right way to do it".

IMO, it's sort of more like the difference between a cover of a song vs. a remix of a song. In the same way, there's a sliding scale here- a cover of a song might be an attempt to perfectly duplicate the original, or it might be similar but a different artist's take, or it might be a completely different genre (but preserving the song's structure). A remix is a different song entirely that borrows elements of the original.
100% agree with this.

Also, with the right community, it is possible to have plenty of "socialization" with other kids. My family participates in a parent-led co-op that allows kids to benefit from different strengths in different parents and to have lots of friends.

As my kids are neurodivergent, I think this environment has been safer for them and allows them to focus on their passions. There is still some peer pressure re: neurodivergence, but I think it was less severe than when I was in public school with less obvious neurodivergence.
It's definitely not impossible at least.

Someone is doing it in python here:

GPT-4 actually sent me here:

"Here is an example of a C# library that implements the HAP: CSharp.HomeKit (https://github.com/brutella/hkhomekit). You can use this library as a reference or directly use it in your project."

Which, to no surprise based on my experiences with LLMs for programming does not exist and doesn't seem to have ever existed.

I get that they aren't magic, but I guess I am just bad at trying to use LLMs to help in my programming. Apparently all I do are obscure things or something. Or I am just not good enough at prompting. But I feel like that's also a reflection of the weakness of an LLM in that it needs such perfect and specific prompting to get good answers.
In ICE cars gear shifting gives extra control and power. In an EV it’s emulated by lowering power and reducing the range of control. Technically it’s all backwards.

To me it doesn’t do anything except appeal to feelings and associations drivers have developed in ICE cars.

It’s like adding hiss and crackling noises, and tape rewinding simulator to digital audio.
If a very new startup of 5-10 people can't buck an extra (being very pessimistic) $40k a year in employee expenses in a state that already has high CoL and labor that regularly expects 200k salaries: No, I guess not. That can be something to negotiate at offer time, or to consider relocating the startup for.

>That ultimately hurts wages and offsets any cost savings from employers paying for your home internet

overtime, maybe. It's a win-win for those already employed and not a signifigant damper of salary for those employed in the future. But it's not like salaries will be droppinig 20-30k from this decision alone.
We did look at that. In fact it's quite possible to have a "train" like this, but:

* Continuous relay is power-hungry, and the distances are still huge unless you have a _lot_ of relays on _very_ different heliocentric orbits. The scale of the inner solar system is _enormous_ compared to LEO. High power on lots of satellites means huge cost on a per-unit basis. LEO is 100km away vs 1/5 distance to Mars is still 80 million km or so. Transmission power for a given rate is d^2 (or d^3 in some cases for lasers). Enormous power requirements.

* On earth, you can "space out" an orbit so that you basically always have either another satellite on the same orbit, or a "nearby" orbit that has one coming up. Look at GPS tracks, for example. In inner solar system, everything orbits the _sun_, meaning nearby orbits might be nowhere near earth, and even a train on the same orbit is going to miss Earth 99.9% of the time by a million km or more.

* An interplanetary relay has been studied. Instead of cyclers which pass close, you basically put a "train" of spacecraft on a heliocentric orbit between earth and mars. Again, this was a lot of spacecraft required to get relays such that the cost paid off relative to just building bigger transmitters / listeners on earth or having more orbiters around Mars.

The sweet spot of cyclers is low thrust requirements, comparatively low system requirements (big burst of data once in a while with lots of charging between), which combined to make sats small enough to justify a dozen or so on a single launch of this purpose.

I _do_ think we'll have solar-system-starlink. Probably at Mars, definitely at Moon, and likely some lagrange point relays with a cycler or two funded by an eccentric billionare in 50 years.

EDIT: I misunderstood, below is old comment / reply

That is precisely the subject of the paper I linked. Except you can't confuse visit frequency with visit _latency_. We can have many visits per year but all the data coming down is usually over a year old. For Grand Science on a planetary scale this is ok. And for lower latency data requirements (of which there are not really many cases outside human impatience) you can use regular downlink but only .01% of the throughput.

But it gets even more interesting if the data "ferry" has enough compute to work while moving. You could run models on the ferry to answer questions, then every so often (when close to earth) download all the data to verify answers.

What we derive and optimize is the orbits to achieve such a "high frequency" cadence by formulating a set cover instance.

The sets are the visits for each cycler and we want to "cover" a given time span with "enough" visits.

And the cyclers themselves are a large parameter sweep conducted somewhat open loop.

I think the numbers are way lower, but it is an old, archaic idea, you do good for your tribe/family - by taking from anywhere outside of the tribe. Stealing from the tribe is very bad and might get you killed. Stealing from another tribe however is not stealing, but reputable work, as long as there are no established friendly relations to that tribe. Many people indeed operate with this mindset (consciously or not)

But all in all I would rather say, that the number of people who consider all of humanity their family, is increasing.
It's surprising no one has mentioned the fact that ZFS doesn't support suspend/resume. So it's a fat no-go for laptops, whereas btrfs and hopefully bcachefs can shine bright supporting all cool features on my laptop so I can learn by playing with them.

(LVM + LUKS + BTRFS does it for me right now)
I just came back from MATSS 2023 and there's definitely a lot of consultant work being built around getting Enhanced A-CAM or BEAD funding. I work for a rural ISP/telco and I can tell you we don't have any expectation of building out regulated networks without some kind of funding to help.

On the flip side that many people don't get exposed to, there are cybersecurity requirements before funding can be applied, so this may help old telcos modernize their networks. Realistically there's no market to spend upgrade money in any of our service areas. Comcast may have 20k subscribers in a single suburb but we don't have that many subscribers in our entire service area, so the ROI would be many years before we break even.

The thing most people forget is that small rural ISPs are regulated with the same laws the corporate behemoths are and it's difficult to reach parity so the small guys can get help while the big guys who don't need it can't get it. It's generally service area by service area and less about which company requests assistance to built out/upgrade that area.

>most of the people who don't have access aren't maxing out their contributions, anyway.

Precisely. We should have an account that autosaves and invests ~ 10% of a worker's pay into a simple target date fund. You can opt out, but by default, when you get to retirement you're covered.

I can tell you first hand that many of the blue collar folks I know in retirement almost exclusively live off of social security and that's a sad, restricted life.
The GPT-4 answer is only better in so far as it uses RunTransaction. I don't know why it's trying to loop through the stores and then running the i'th operation on that store when it could have just had the store referenced in the operation instead of passing it as a parameter. And then it's also creating a new client for each transaction which seems wrong (to be fair I'm not familiar with Firestore so maybe this is idiomatic).

Another way to put it is that there obviously exists an algorithm that can predict what you will choose. It just isn’t this one, but the opposite. The entire point of this exercise is to prove that you have free will. If there obviously exists an algorithm that can predict what you will do, you don’t have free will, do you?

Thus “random,” aka, 50% is the target: this algorithm cannot predict what you do; you have free will.
Still waiting for the day that medium term memory (token average pooling like in sentence transformers) becomes used for this. It's staring all of these companies in the face and apparently no one thinks to implement it.

This is where I disagree. How are the sellers being screwed?

I completely agree that the wider community is being screwed by the string of sales, but I don't see how an individual seller gets screwed, except inasmuch as they are part of the wider community.

How can I support it (I am in EU)?
I agree they're not immune whatsoever. In fact I hold them to a higher standard than the others because it's their mission to do it, so their failures sting much harder.

But I hold the others to zero standard. There is less than zero trust there. I expect to be abused by them because their mandate requires them to ignore my wishes. It's not a failure but a success to them.
It is wild that this is the take. This eep distrust of government is at the root of many American problems. It is deliberately created and fed, and it directly leads to some truly awful results: bad education, bad healthcare, virtually no public benefit for all the taxes we pay. But we do get world's largest military, large corporate subsidies, highest per capita healthcare costs.

Unlike in most other Western countries, education in the US is controlled at a local level; every town, district, and city etc has its own rules, has to hire its own staff and pay for it all out of local taxes. And because the generally tiny constituency of each district, a very small number of nutcases can change the rules and impose their point of view for the school district.

And because of the local funding, there can be huge resource and quality differences between schools for adjacent locations, just due to crossing some arbitrary jurisdiction line.

It is madness, but it is a madness that is deeply loved/entrenched here.
(Yes, all useful but elicited by the success of blogs - you don't need trackbacks or RSS feeds until there's a large enough number of blogs linking each other & updating regularly that it's worth such infrastructure. So not reasons for the original success.)
I'm skeptical when these parents their kids cite poor public schools as the primary reason for home schooling. When you look closer, it's almost always lifestyle and ideology that are the main factors.

The often-cited failure in socialization extends beyond socialization within peer-groups as well--kids also need exposure to a variety of adults and authority figures. It's not only about learning how to make friends.

> Today, Hillsborough home-schoolers inhabit a scholastic and extracurricular ecosystem that is in many ways indistinguishable from that of a public or private school. Home-schooled kids play competitive sports. They put on full-scale productions of “Mary Poppins” and “Les Miserables.” They have high school graduation ceremonies, as well as a prom and homecoming dance.

> The Christian home-schooling co-op that had about 40 kids in 2011 when McKeown joined it — a co-op she would go on to direct — has grown to nearly 600 students.

I mean reading this it just sounds like they are discovering the hard way the concept of... a school??
It often isn't. The criminals know that the game theory is such that the criminals know that if they don't actually provide the files when paid, none of them will get paid in the future as people will just assume the files are destroyed unrecoverably and move on. The scam critical depends on you being able to be confident that the files actually are recoverable and thus that paying the ransom is a viable option.

Well, we're a good part of the way towards being able to move people from the earth's surface into orbit. Somewhere between, say, 20% and 80%. If that claim is true, then it seems reasonable to be thinking about what comes next, and building a small cycler seems like a potentially reasonable choice.

If we can indeed build a small cycler, then getting to a big one may be much easier than going from a small yacht to a transoceanic liner.

On thing that I never realized is that chalk is much better over longer distances in larger classrooms.

When I took organic chemistry in a lecture hall that seated 200, the professor used larger chalk and you could easily see it in the entire hall. A regular marker would be too fine to see. I don't think that you could have a larger marker as the ink reservoir would be large and unwieldy. Plus it would probably drain rather quickly.

I think the biggest overhead is language itself. Writing unambiguous language into text is a lot of work. If we could factor the work of disambiguation out somehow, we could apply that as a sort of UI/UX compression.

I love temporal tables. I built an implementation in Postgres [1] in a few hundred lines of PLPGSQL. We've run the implementation for several years across a few hundred tables for an ERP product.

The core ideas of the implementation:

- The current table is a typical Postgres table. The past table's primary key is (curr_tbl.pk, asr), where the asr column is the valid period of the row using a domain on tstzrange.

- Create statement-based triggers on the current table to copy the after-image of modified rows to the past table. Statement-based triggers amortize function call overhead compared to row-base triggers (I think depesz compared the performance and found about a 10x difference, but I can't find the link).

- Copying the row after-image on update and delete to the past table is advantageous because inserting a new row has no overhead. The disadvantage is that it's harder to figure out when a row was deleted (requires checking for gaps in the past table).

Some pointers if you dive into uni-temporal tables in Postgres:

- Separate the past table and current table into different schemas. Most database users shouldn't modify the past tables. It's easier to grant permission by schema and it makes autocomplete nicer. By convention, we use erp.invoice and erppast.invoice.

- Use a domain type instead of tstzrange to blunt the sharp edges of tstzrange. See the temporal.period domain type in [1].

- Resist the temptation to query against the past table. Temporal joins are fabulously complex without first-class database support (like Oracle's AS OF).

- Optimize for the typical case: querying the current table. Our first temporal implementation used table inheritance consisting of three tables: a parent table, the current table, and a past table. Theoretically, the parent table lets you query data transparently across the parent and child tables. In practice, we didn't use the parent query capability at all. Having a parent table made code review harder by requiring the reviewer to check that the code queried the current table and not the parent table. It's easy enough and rare enough to query all versions of a row by using:

SELECT * FROM current_table
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM past_table

- Track the current and past tables in a metadata table. Use tests to check that columns don't drift between the current and past tables. See misaligned_cols.sql in [1] for an example.

- Unfortunately, you can't use declarative partitioning because the primary key of the past table differs from the current table. The past table must include the valid period column to differentiate it from other versions of the same row.

It's not just "let go", it's also "left". That's the surprising bit.
And like someone else said, the company is only 12 years-old. Of course I've seen start-ups with insanely high turnover rate. But if you've not existed long enough to see people stay until retirement then you don't really have a significant data set. If a company like IBM or GE could claim a 10% lifetime turnover rate that would be something to marvel at (only used them because of how long they've been around for, I'm sure they are far from the most wonderful places to work).
To the first question: Yes. An example would be travel sites and shopping sites getting way more use during holidays. A big one is always December: end of the year holidays mess with usage metrics a ton given how many people take off work or spend time away from their computers, to the point that most companies I've worked at tend to ignore data from that month or try to be very careful about only comparing it to data from December in other years.
Thanks for sharing the links, we'll investigate this example.
Everything is more or less completely legal since the Wise account is "domiciled" in Canada and I will be paying taxes on the income in Canada. I just don't want to convert the Euros into CAD, send them back to my real bank in Canada and then have to pay the 2.5% conversion fee to spend in Euros (or any other currency in places I might end up in). I don't have a permanent visa here yet so I don't believe I can easily just open a bank account.
I absolutely love working in an environment which is conductive to working. That is SO not the office I work in, also designed by so-called "experts". It's an open-office though, and apparently yours is not. I'd be interested to see what it looks like.
> public school gets in the way of their indoctrination

Public schools themselves indoctrinate children--just with a different set of values than many parents have. The people who built the US system of widespread compulsory public schooling in the US were quite explicit about that being one of the primary purposes of the system. (So were the people who built the Prussian system that was referenced elsewhere in the thread.)
You write pretty well based on these few sentences. I have found that nothing improved my writing more than reading authors I liked and being aware of (in some cases adopting or imitating elements of) their writing styles. Did you read a lot on your own?

Being subject to the UCMJ does limit some of your rights, mainly free speech in that you can't use contemptuous language against your superiors or against certain people in the government. And, of course, you have to be where you're supposed to be when you're supposed to be there, or else you're in varying degrees of trouble from "oops, I'm getting yelled at for being late" to "I'm being court-martialed for desertion."

But the "your body becomes official government property" canard doesn't belong anywhere off a middle school schoolyard. It's nonsense.

> No OP, but UK keyboard layout on Apple devices sucks, seperately from overriding decades of muscle memory reaching for cmd instead of ctrl.

Is cmd somewhere else on UK Apple keyboards, than on US ones?

If it's like the US ones, I spent my first 25ish computing years on Windows and Linux (and Sun, et c.—point is, not Mac) but after getting used to Mac's shortcuts, I gotta hand it to them: what they've done is more correct than what everyone else is doing. Ctrl-shortcuts involve more stretching and wrist movement, so, are slower and push one closer to RSI, and putting more common shortcuts on cmd than ctrl leads to fewer collisions (no awkwardness in the terminal, for example).
Even 2% I would not call "virtually no one". 232 million iPhones were sold in 2022, 2% of that is still 4 million iPhones.

However looking at another survey of specifically iPhone users I see as high as 36%.

Going further, of those that upgrade every year how many of those are getting the highest pro models?

Or are subscribed to Apple iPhone Upgrade Program. Even if they are a lower portion of the population they are a consistent and important part of the population.
