Yeah, as a seasoned Ruby dev I found the "similarities" between Elixir and Ruby to be surface-level. They're very different languages. Even the syntax isn't that similar once you get past your first impression.

But don't listen to me - take it from none other than José Valim, Elixir's creator:

> Folks tend to understate the influence of Erlang and overstate the influence of Ruby on Elixir. … Ruby did influence the syntax and the names in the standard library, but the latter was also done in a more "democratic" fashion: I would look into Ruby, JavaScript, Clojure, Haskell, and choose a name that was common and closer reflected the semantics that would fit Elixir (for example, the term "protocol" come from Clojure).

It seems that a subjective state of mind isn't a great way to tell if you are inconviencing others.

For example, an individual can feel great while being social on a narcotic, all while hurting others around them and being completely oblivious to it.
I was talking to a friend the other day about privacy leaks from AI, and they wanted to know if a machine learning model itself protects privacy. They argued that if you have a raw training set, and then you use it to generate a model that only classifies data, that should remove the privacy-sensitive information.
This article explains whether that is true... and whether it is enough to protect privacy.
This has gotten a ton of votes in only a few minutes, so I figured I’d add:

If you want to get deeper into this - very few people can have a conversation, discreetly think about something unrelated at the same time, and then change the conversation accordingly. If you’re one of the few that can do this you’re definitely not taking conversation advice from a poorly written blog. There’s nothing that throws off a conversation faster than the other person clearly _thinking_ about the conversation. Doing that is also a social signal the size of Texas that you don’t have normal conversations. Just relaxing and talking normally, even if you talk about yourself, even if you never say their name, even if you bring up politics, even if you break every rule in the internet conversation blogger rulebook? That’s a social signal that you DO have normal social interactions. Relax and just talk like you normally do, not like some blogger told you.
This. The number of times I’ve had to mess with or write yaml and gotten some ridiculously unhelpful error because I forgot a space somewhere or needed dashes in my sub-whatever are equal to the number of times I’ve had to write yaml. I’d seriously rather work with XML than YAML. It’s worse to read and 10x worse to write than JSON for anything nontrivial. It’s the TAI64 of serialization. It’s like JSON that you have to type the spaces out to format visually yourself for each thing. I don’t understand the mindset of folks who prefer it. Quotes in yaml are as much fun as they were with mysql_real_escape_string. The only way I work with any significant amount of YAML is by converting it to json. Terrible format, 0/10, let’s just write everything in acme::Bleach since significant whitespace is so darn cool right?

Afaik Social security companies actually own a lot of properties in switzerland and finance our social system trought this. Also there are quite a lot of cooperatives that own housing and sublet them for very fair prices. Some properties are owned by the state, or companies that are owned mostly by the state such as the sbb (railroad company).

Some statistic about ownership:

For the owner types of rental apartments, there are now cumulative results over three years (2019-2021). They enable analyses at cantonal level and for the six largest cities in Switzerland. At around a quarter (26%), the canton of Geneva had the lowest proportion of rental apartments owned by private individuals. In the cantons of Valais (68%) and Ticino (70%), on the other hand, this proportion was significantly higher. The owner category "Other limited company/ limited liability company/cooperative", which mainly comprises institutional investors such as insurance companies, pension funds or investment funds, accounted for half (50%) of all rental apartments in the canton of Geneva. In the cantons of Valais (23%) and Ticino (21%), on the other hand, less than a quarter of all rental apartments fell into this category. The Swiss average was 33%.

> I have friends that talk about themselves 75% of the conversation but nobody gives a shit because they’re interesting/funny/unusual/whatever and people like to be entertained.

What if you're talking 75% of the conversation, but the content isn't particularly interesting/funny? Is that still fine?

> Having a relaxed, natural conversation! “Have a few beers and relax and just talk normally”

Where "natural" and "normal" is completely clear and self-evident to everybody.

Most of these advices are targeted at people who struggle with social interactions. Many people are lonely without friends and bad habits like talking only about themselves won't help with that.

If you have great social interactions then great! You likely don't need such advice.

(Although I think most people could learn some "tricks" to improve their relationships)

GI is a concept, SI is a matter of degree imho.

What sets humans apart from AI right now, is specific types of out-of-the-box thinking.

Let's say there's a bridge, an AI gets to control a robot, and is awarded points for crossing that bridge.

I think you can be pretty sure that over time, the AI will figure out how to control the robot's limbs, move toward opposite side of the bridge, and find its way around obstacles.

Meanwhile, humans may walk back & forth, because they enjoy crossing the bridge. Or stand in the middle for an hour, watching boats pass underneath. Some asshats may climb it. On a hot sunny day, others may go halfway & then jump off for a refreshing swim. Yet others may do some protest, and use the bridge as a scaffold to hang a banner from. Etc etc.

Much such behavior defies logic. But yet, the bridge will primarily be used as intended, to cross from side to side. And humans go about in this fashion in many if not all their activities.

When I see AIs that show similar creative / out-of-box behavior, while remaining mostly goal-oriented, and learn from its mistakes without humans nudging it every step of the way, then I think we'll have achieved AGI.

Beyond that, SI is just a matter of scale & efficiency.

Euclid's website has some nice explainers­ – for example, https://www.euclid-ec.org/public/core-science – which mentions using two methods:

- “weak gravitational lensing” with the visible light instrument (which has higher resolution than the IR one) to measure very precisely the shapes of galaxies, to enable a statistical study of distortions in their shapes, caused by weak lensing due to dark matter (and regular matter which they can observe “directly”)

- “galaxy clustering” with the near IR instrument to calculate distances to the galaxies (via their redshift) which they can use to map out 3D distribution of galaxies and compare to simulations for example (there is a nice figure on this page: https://www.euclid-ec.org/euclid-core-science showing a few surveys and simulations)

There is more information on their blog here as well: https://www.euclid-ec.org/blog

The images here are simply first light images (i doubt the horsehead nebula or globular clusters are part of the core science of Euclid); more images and spectra will be taken in the coming years to do the actual core science (which will require a lot more data)
This is good advice. Whenever I'm trying to recreate something that exists, I often run into what feels like forced decisions that make my reimplementation closer to the original. And then some seemingly random thing in the original becomes logical.

You might have heard it from other places but meditation. It's literally training you to be present with your thoughts and knowing what exactly is happening in your mind at the moment (and letting it go).

Once you start meditating regularly you can observe that you got tangled up in thoughts quite early on and pull yourself back.

As many practitioners say it helps to create space between impulse and action.

Previously we had no limit. We observed gains in both latency and throughput by implementing Automaxprocs and decided to roll it out widely.

This aligns with what others have reported on the Go runtime issue open for this.

"When go.uber.org/automaxprocs rolled out at Uber, the effect on containerized Go services was universally positive. At least at the time, CFS imposed such heavy penalties on Go binaries exceeding their CPU allotment that properly tuning GOMAXPROCS was a significant latency and throughput improvement."

I suppose someone that genuinely cares about the people they tell stories would remember what they said to who, and how they reacted to it.
Fauci has admitted on the record that he lied twice, why is this even a question to begin with? Are you just unaware of that?

The problem is that his admission to lying is itself a lie. That's quite the 5D chess move and it has confused a huge number of people. Masks never worked, the claim that they did is a lie. The original claim was correct, and the claim that it was a lie, is a lie. That's just masks, before you even get to other topics.
I use a very crude DIY setup for garage doors and yard gate: bought a spare keyfob on aliexpress, took it apart and connected it to wall power supply and ESP relay board running esphome. Works great and will work as long as my garage door and yard gate openers work.

The only drawback is that it's less secure, as it uses RF but I can't be bothered to dig a new cable to gate motor through already paved driveway.

Yeah this sort of hypothetical paper prototyping is really useful because you can map out the whole territory you're operating in, instead of just finding a single point to work towards. I think the approach actually applies beyond just UI mockups - if you can mock out whole workflows in the business with the right stakeholders/personas represented, you can also start to build up a loose dataflow model right there, and also understand some of the likely articulation points of the resulting systems, just by having conversations like "what if we needed this human process to happen first" or "what if we eventually built a model to automate this process" etc.
I'm a developer. I write web apps and run them on linux servers. I keep an eye on them to make sure all apps are running smoothly. But, as the number of apps and servers grows, manual monitoring takes more and more time, so I need an automated web app monitoring tool.
But then, there is a need to make the noise generated by error handling, async, generators, etc. to disappear. Though I doubt it's doable with our current paradigm; we're pushing against the limit of working directly with plaintext, single-source-of-truth code.
It seems you did not understand what I was trying to illustrate with this example.

That first video looks like deliberately testing the pathological case for locomotion. The second video looks hugely much better.

I question the complexity of the switch from lightning to USB-C, do you have any resources or knowledge to help clarify that part for me?

when beginning a new interaction, I try to remember to "read the room" first, a mostly non-linear/non-verbal process that involves a lot of mimetic movement and eye contact that is governed subconsciously.

Then I can take part in the dance of chat better. Conversation is often best when it has a fast cadence and a lightness and humor to it. And charming qualities like self-deprecation, showing appreciation, going along with others' vibe etc.

Many people here are talking about "sharing" and "listening" - but that can be quite a dull and mechanical back and forth pattern! Facts, opinions and personal anecdotes, far from being the lifeblood of good conversation, tend to weigh it down instead, like pressing pause on the music.
Maybe the original story is bullshit, but there is something to the concept.

I've noticed that too. It's like some form of synesthesia, where one sense (audio in this case) influences perception in another seemingly unrelated sense (visuals).

And, perhaps related, in addition to their regular meaning, a lot of things seem to also have an inherent symbolic value. Like going up/going down, on top/at the bottom, sharp/blunt, clear/foggy, etc.

I think that most people, when asked, would prefer going up to going down, even though they have to push against gravity.

Hella Nor Cal or Totally So Cal?: The Perceptual Dialectology of California

Mary Bucholtz, Nancy Bermudez, Victor Fung, Lisa Edwards and Rosalva Vargas. Journal of English Linguistics 2007; 35; 325. DOI: 10.1177/0075424207307780

>Abstract

>This study provides the first detailed account of perceptual dialectology within California (as well as one of the first accounts of perceptual dialectology within any single state). Quantitative analysis of a map-labeling task carried out in Southern California reveals that California’s most salient linguistic boundary is between the northern and southern regions of the state. Whereas studies of the perceptual dialectology of the United States as a whole have focused almost exclusively on regional dialect differences, respondents associated particular regions of California less with distinctive dialects than with differences in language (English versus Spanish), slang use, and social groups. The diverse socio linguistic situation of California is reflected in the emphasis both on highly salient social groups thought to be stereotypical of California by residents and nonresidents alike (e.g., surfers) and on groups that, though prominent in the cultural landscape of the state, remain largely unrecognized by outsiders (e.g., hicks).

The article uses the 100 million number from the Black Book of Communism for "victims of communism". This number is famously wrong, and includes Nazi soldiers killed in WW2 and victims of the Holocaust. Neither of those are victims of communism. It also counts the unborn, and the unborn of the unborn, calculated from birth rates that are affected by so many other factors its irrelevant.

The article also suggests that socialism is "economic system in which the government controls all or nearly all of the economy". This is patently false, and there exist several independent libertarian (read: anti-statist) strains of socialism/communism. Socialism is worker ownership of the means of production, the totalitarianism is a feature of Marxism.

You don't have to lie and mislead to show that tyranny is pure evil.

> have to memorize the order and positions of different hues.

Almost everybody is familiar with the rainbow, and it's a physical real-world relatable concept. Even if you can't name the color order from memory, it's intuitive what changing the hue left or right does. Unlike RGB, where it's basically impossible (for regular people) to predict what changing one component will do to the final color.
This is categorically not true. If it were true professional photographers wouldn't waste six figures on high-end equipment.

Not only there are visible differences - smoothness, sharpness, colour balance, the overall look - but some effects and looks are impossible without expensive tools. Especially in difficult light, or challenging shooting situations.

And then there's the workflow.

The difference is more that amateurs and prosumers never reach the point where the equipment limits their talent. Top professionals reach that point fairly quickly because they just can't do some of the things they want to do.

The iPhone is no different. It's a decent video camera and may be starting to edge against some of the mirrorless/SLR prosumer cams. But it doesn't have features that are standard on ARRI and RED.

You can make some videos with it, and if you have talent they'll be good. But you can't make all currently possible videos with it.

No-compromise professionals are going to understand the difference.
