I recently listened to an interview with Leslie Lamport where he said you should write a description of your program in prose before writing any code. So not exactly programming on paper, but part of the process of thinking about what you're going to do can be captured on paper.

He has a saying I like, "If you think without writing you only think you're thinking"

As a Keboola PM, I gotta say, I'm feeling a little acronym envy. But, in the spirit of innovation, let me introduce you to DELTAS—our latest tongue-in-cheek, kitchen-sink framework that's here to solve all your data woes! It stands for Discover, Extract, Load, Transform, Analyze, Share. And for those who find DELTAS too simplistic, there's always DELTAS-C, where the 'C' is for Consume. Because what's data if you can't snack on it, right? And for the futurists, DELTAS-P adds Predict, because who doesn't love a good fortune-telling with their data strategy? Frankly, the world could do with fewer acronyms, but where's the fun in that?

Son's credibility went out the window when he kept Adam Neumann on board after it was blatantly obvious how much of a grifter the guy was (paid him a billion to walk away, but kept him on as a consultant to the tune of $45 million a year). It was also completely shot when he (Son) decided that WeWork was tech.

Anecdotally, I used to work with someone who was an early employee at WeWork and lived pretty lavishly (and made no efforts to hide it) based on how much WeWork stock she had vested and sold. Wonder what she's up to now.
Manhattan got the way it is today precisely because it DIDN'T use to have all of these restrictive rules prohibiting development. Indeed if those rules had been around a century or more ago, it wouldn't be the #1 city in the country. Chicago would be.

You've got it precisely backwards. The excessive rules are harmful, period, and are significantly hurting housing affordability. The lack of them is what made this city great back in the day (and it's still coasting on that inertia, though only growing more and more unaffordable over time).

The most recent dumb rule that was tacked on recently essentially made it impossible to build new hotels* (see https://therealdeal.com/new-york/2022/12/09/how-special-are-... ). Not a single hotel has been granted permission since that law passed several years back. Now add on top the AirBnb ban and we're making it significantly more expensive to visit NYC, which is hurting our tourism industry. All for completely dumb reasons. Build more hotels, build more housing, let the city thrive.

* This law was passed not because it's a good idea, but because of captured interests, namely, the existing hotel operators who didn't want further competition. It's anti-competitive, not "a good law that you need in a dense city" as you are characterizing things.
Also, a scripted, pre-recorded, Halloween-themed event was not rushed in response to a Qualcomm event less than a week prior.

If I'm role-playing as a boomer, I just cant understand how I dropped out in grade 10, got the good job at a local factory over a handshake and an all-expenses paid 3-martini lunch the moment I expressed interest in applying, and got a full pension plus zero or close to zero education costs and I have like 3 cars between me, wife, daughter, vacation at least 1x/year, and protested every subsequent development after I bought my house outright for $50k, and now my daughter needs to leave (she's 18, we HAVE to kick them out at that point?!) and she has nowhere to buy that doesn't rely upon me since she has no money and I fomented this monster?

Why me, Lord?

> At some point, is that anxiety-inducing event worth it?

That's a very important question.

We've had a much easier time getting our younger daughter to eat proper meals at proper times than we had with our older one, and I think this was largely because we weren't as strict about it the second time around. Sure, she tasted some junk food a bit earlier than we'd like, but she also didn't get anxious about meal time like her older sister did at some point.
I feel like the M3 has been a bit of a misfire, launch-wise.

In between all this and the fact that they're all shipping with Ventura and cannot be upgraded to Sonoma yet to me says that for all the claims of "Apple may not be first, but it will always do it best/right" are evaporating.

Seems like this is a bit of a rush.

And to all the people working the "They're comparing it to the M1, because that's who they're targeting for upgrades"?

Bullshit.

Try saying that about Intel, if they start benchmarking 14th gen chips against 11/12th. "Because they're targeting those users, not 13th gen owners".

Think about how that sounds. Think about how you'd laugh if they tried it. Think about how Apple is spinning that, and you're buying into it. Hmm.

Same here. My wife washed the old airpods so she got me some new and "better" AirPod Pros. They looked perfect and since I did not really care about getting other ones I did not much research. In any case they looked genuine and worked for a while until their flakiness got on my nerves and I went to a slightly embarrassing Apple appointment where I was told there were scores of service requests for this particular serial number. She got her money back since at least in our country EBay the company is now the seller and could not run away and as it was bought with PayPal...

What convinced me that they were originals
- packaging looked genuine
- paired out of the box without much hassle
- showed up as air pods with serial number

Lesson learned and bought the new ones and these were the differences:

- print inside the lid was 20% larger in original

- packaging of original was not shrink wrapped

- slight off-colour white of the packaging

- the lightning port of the fake was not feeling right

- the button on the case did not click distinctly

- the button on the case did not enter the special mode after 10 seconds like original

- ANC of original light years ahead. More modes displayed on the menu.

With hindsight the biggest give-away probably were the

- shrink-wrap plastic around the package

- lightning port feel

- much, much lower microphone quality. But since I never checked that out myself as I don't use them much for talking and so complaints from others were not so frequent.

- imperfect find-my performance but since I did not care about this feature much I suspected I mis-clicked somewhere and gave up.

- transitions from case to ear to case with sometimes not registering that it was back in case (contact issues in the case?) not so reliable with impact on battery.

- battery erratic behaviour

I guess if I would have been in the market for them and then bought them I may have found out immediately but so I just started feeling Apple starts slipping on quality with new products more complex but worse. As I got them as a replacement and just wanted to get on with listening during my walks they were able to fool me. They are certainly good enough to fool casual buyers and they are certainly bad enough to hurt Apple's reputation for quality products.

Exactly, distros need to kept up-to-date, and by updating GNOME, you get new features for free. Downstream, Fedora grabs these updates. Downstream of that, someone spams Hacker News with the changelog. It's the cycle of life.
In the first example it's still really jarring how much their feet slide around on the ground, or sliding in place as they walk into an object without moving. I wonder when this will ever be solved.

how is the sound?
> Async is almost useless when you’re not incredibly I/O bound.

I'm not sure that's true. The async/await model is about representing a state machine in imperative code. Not all state machines can be written imperatively, but when they can be, it is often clearer than writing the state machine manually. I/O is the most common scenario for such state machines, but I can see a few other OS scenarios where you might want to use async/await instead (e.g., process management is probably better represented with async/await).
Yeah, I'm asking a hypothetical to see where it goes. Lots of things that would "never happen" seem to be happening, so I wouldn't be too sure of it.

I love the flatbed with the flip down sides. I used one of these in Europe, and they are incredibly convenient. You flip down the sides and load it up without having to reach over anything and then just flip them back up to drive. Unloading dirt or gravel by hand is so much easier when you can just push it off the side with a shovel.

I've seen this once or twice in the U.S., but only on very large trucks. I wonder if there's some regulatory reason.
This is why the Supreme Court wouldn't rule against this. It's a game of chicken, but it's very important to the Court to never make a decision that simply can't be executed by the elected branches. And the individual human beings on the Court know this and enough of them would find some rationalization they could live with to avoid such a ruling.

Thanks for putting language to a vague feeling I've had wrt "causal intervention", I tend to think there's no such thing as self or self-preservation/fear-of-death or desire-to-love that might facilitate actual agentic decision making without being embedded in a fight for survival against an adverserial environment.

As far as embodiement and environment goes, does simulating an environment get us anywhere? Agents given avatars in games practice causal intervention, no? Is that too a matter of training a model in a rich enough, accurate enough simulation? I guess that's the problem self driving cars face, and they at least have a programmed-in-fear of mortality, tho not its own, in the form of avoiding a fatal wreck.
Simple, they’ll also mandate that the web sites use WEI and check for approved browsers. They will also lean on software distributors to not distribute unapproved browsers or be fined, jailed or lose their ability to distribute software to Europeans. Think of how they tighten the screws on crypto and end-to-end encryption — same playbook!

At every step those that don’t follow the EU’s rules will get fined by the same apparatus as GDPR violators
Seeing drone dropped grenades everywhere in Ukraine has made me worried about normalized "drone drop murders" spreading to the rest of the world. With widely available addresses gang violence, political killings, and even online flamewar escalations will become much much uglier.

Who needs to do a driveby shooting if you could drop a homemade bomb from a McDonalds bathroom 20 miles away using some jailbroken drone? Violence isn't the only issue either -- Imagine what will happen when courts catch up to the internet age.

> CNBC also asked Cruise for information about typical response time for remote operations, and how remote assistance workers at Cruise are trained.

> “More than 98% of sessions are answered within 3 seconds,” the spokesperson said.

> During that incident, Cruise previously told NBC, its vehicle “braked aggressively before impact and because it detected a collision” but then tried to pull over and in the process pulled the pedestrian forward about 20 feet.

> The CEO wrote, “Cruise AVs are being remotely assisted (RA) 2-4% of the time on average, in complex urban environments. This is low enough already that there isn’t a huge cost benefit to optimizing much further, especially given how useful it is to have humans review things in certain situations.”

Awesome, cool, this sounds really optimal.
This is subtly incorrect - as far as Docker is concerned CFS cgroup extension has several knobs to tune - cfs_quota_us, cfs_period_us (typical default is 100ms not a second) and shares. When you set shares you get weighted proportional scheduling (but only when there's contention). The former two enforce strict quota. Don't use Docker's --cpu flag and instead use --cpu-shares to avoid (mostly useless) quota enforcement.

From Linux docs:

- cpu.shares: The weight of each group living in the same hierarchy, that
translates into the amount of CPU it is expected to get. Upon cgroup creation,
each group gets assigned a default of 1024. The percentage of CPU assigned to
the cgroup is the value of shares divided by the sum of all shares in all
cgroups in the same level.
- cpu.cfs_period_us: The duration in microseconds of each scheduler period, for
bandwidth decisions. This defaults to 100000us or 100ms. Larger periods will
improve throughput at the expense of latency, since the scheduler will be able
to sustain a cpu-bound workload for longer. The opposite of true for smaller
periods. Note that this only affects non-RT tasks that are scheduled by the
CFS scheduler.
- cpu.cfs_quota_us: The maximum time in microseconds during each cfs_period_us
in for the current group will be allowed to run. For instance, if it is set to
half of cpu_period_us, the cgroup will only be able to peak run for 50 % of
the time. One should note that this represents aggregate time over all CPUs
in the system. Therefore, in order to allow full usage of two CPUs, for
instance, one should set this value to twice the value of cfs_period_us.

Correct which is why we formed tribes which allowed groups of people to form a common culture and bond which protected each other. And tribes would firm alliances with other tribes and work together to destroy rival tribes. These groups of tribes became nations which have evolved into the political organization of the nation state we see today.

> Oooh, I would _absolutely_ buy one of these to tow with.

From an outsider, that's the thing that baffles me the most about the current state of the whole world's auto industry. Sometimes it seems that all auto makers are colluding to prevent any competition based on price, and are instead invested in forcing this notion that the only possible consumer pressure is on seeking luxury features like onboard computers, touchscreens, media centers, etc etc.

A vehicle's primary use is take people and objects from point A to B, and do so reliably and economically. The automotive industry is the textbook example of economy of scale. Why are we still seeing low-end cars being sold for small fortunes?
