This is post-peak Amazon flailing around.

Peak Amazon was likely when their retail catalog was reliable, before Azure matured, and before streaming content licenses got expensive and started fracturing.

They’re still squeezing out growth in total financial position but every move has looked really slippery and scattered for a while now.

Mostly the same for Alphabet, Meta, and others in that generation.
>This is a blog where you'll also find posts taking homeopathy seriously, and this post is based on a survey.

You're seriously trying to say Johns Hopkins Medical Center is just some rando blog to try to prove your pointless point? You're either clueless or a really bad troll.

>What evidence?

Yeah, where's your evidence that it doesn't work?? Crickets.

>Anecdotally, as best as you've demonstrated. This is not, as you claimed, "voluminous research and study done on melatonin."

"It is known to regulate sleep cycles" is not anecdotal. This has been known science for quite a long time, no doubt before you were born, kiddo.

>Again, the burden of proof is on you.

I've provided proof, from a reputable medical source. You've provided nothing but your feels.

I've heard that there has been substantial moving out of energy-intensive industries like aluminum from Germany because of this.

Well, last winter wasn't as bad as expected/feared in Germany and elsewhere in Europe in terms of energy shortages. How is this winter looking?

Soon everyone exists in a social bubble thats 1000 times worse than any present day social media bubble. It becomes impossible to interact with another actual human because there’s no common frame of reference. Micro languages emerge. AIs seamlessly translate everything into your micro language.

Any IRL interaction between two humans becomes almost impossible. It’s like travelling from the US to Japan today (assuming you don’t speak Japanese), you’re reduced to pointing and google translate.

Because you just never interact with other real people, and real people often seem like pale shadows of the hyper real AIs we talk to, the concept of fellow human beings having a “soul” or deserving rights or dignity is eroded. Policy (and life in general) becomes more ruthlessly utilitarian. Eg climate change has screwed the people in Yemen. Meh. I probably don’t even hear about it. If I do I don’t register those people as important humans because most of the “people” I intact with every day are artificial. I regularly delete the ones I don’t like and generate more. The idea that I should care about how they _feel_ is a strange and alien concept to me.

It's probably more than just storing it in s3. Given their list of

> Registration Fees: $6 million dollars per year.

"Storage" probably also includes the cost to host it on their databases or some queuing/redis etc...

I will note that this is a purely naturalistic take and is countered by traditional Christianity that posits every human life was worth the death of God Himself. That is, the intrinsic value of a human life is incalculable.

I know nothing about your company or interview process, but I'm speaking as someone just coming out of a long and painful job hunt.

I'll agree only that there are a lot of bad candidates who come out of bootcamps. There are a lot of good ones too. A lot of bootcamps run on the model that they train the bare minimum for a student to get a job, so they can take a cut of the paycheck. What you get is socialites learning just enough how to code to pass an interview, and good developers being aggressively trained in how to pass interviews. Some people love bootcamps because it's what got them a job, or got them a cheap candidate, I personally dislike them.

But I did hackathons, game jams, and went to meetups enough while job searching to say that there are a lot of incredibly talented people who are just not getting hired. If anyone is having trouble hiring a quality candidate, it's their hiring process that's broken. Job applications have become so gamified that it's impossible to filter signal for noise. Recruiters post insane expectations like "must know Javascript, React, Postgres, API's, C#, Python, and <obscure technology nobody has ever heard of that is specific to that company>" for a software engineer role. A competent CS fresh graduate won't apply to that position because they might only know Python from that list, even if they've written their own compiler, written ML algorithms from first principles, and have a deep understanding of what the computer's doing under the hood. That student is smart and would be so easily trainable, but they don't apply because the requirements are so high. So the people who do apply are those courageous enough to apply to a role they meet 30% criteria for, those shameless enough to flat out lie on an application, and bootcamp grads who have spent 2 weeks learning all of those technologies at surface level; and then if you quiz them on anything in any amount of depth they flounder.

But those bootcamps advertise themselves as entry-level roles, and so the fresh CS grads apply to those instead of to the companies that have 900 "sea of trash" applicants, which wants an expert in every technology ever invented. The bootcamps often just turn around and have the applicant rewrite their resume into something that's nearly a lie, and then aggressively apply to jobs. Result is companies keep seeing fantastic resumes with not fantastic candidates, and ignoring modest resumes with trainable candidates, and company concludes that the requirements were not high enough to filter out the trash so they add yet another job requirement.

> And let's not kid ourselves, CS graduates aren't competing against H1B hires.

Yes they are. I have great respect for all of the foreigners on H1B that I know, but almost all of them obtained their H1B fresh out of grad school, not after a long career overseas.

it's the political principles I'm critizicing.

the technical problem is really essentially a matter of trust, blockchains solved this problem in the technical sense.

the opreations of large organization are typically private property... this is a touchy issue because technology corporations are essentially the government by this point

I guess I should be glad this isn't really my problem, I'm just worried about the public and political consequences of what I see as potentially dangerous mistakes being made on the idelogical level
Yet surprisingly the US has by far the highest government expenditure on healthcare globally.
I don't understand what you are saying. LLMs can't generally reverse implications, that's what the paper says. This in turn suggests that what you are observing in-context is some other statistical heuristic, not a "logical inference capability".

I don't know in what way this is some trivial "recall" problem as you suggest. Does the reversed implication in question need to be in the training data explicitly or not? If it does I don't understand how you can claim a logical inference capability.
No, but they're not going to be able to reproduce.
I think the most important part of designing collaborative software, which this touches on a bit, is having a the right granularity and scope of a given change.

Last-writer-wins is only bad when the granularity of what you're editing is too big. E.g. if you're an editor like Figma and each element is a row in a database, a single row is too big. Instead you want attribute level granularity so two users can change the independent properties (like one color and the other size) without bulldozing each other.

The other key thing (that's also a common mistake) is to only consider realtime collaboration. In practice, there's always some delay (maybe just milliseconds but could be be hours or days) in how events propagate so solutions like locking don't work.

The reality is that any client-server system that needs to be highly interactive and robust to unreliable network conditions is undeniably a distributed system and therefore warrants using distributed system solutions like vector clocks, Lamport timestamps, CRDTs, etc.

Last thing is that I think many people only think of operation-based CRDTs when they think about CRDTs. You can (and we have at my company) created a fairly traditional feeling database that relies on a state-based CRDT solution that doesn't need to maintain a log of every operation that has every happened.

So yes, you might not need to reach for a fancy library like Yjs or Automerge, but it's worth understanding how these things thinks basically work because many of them are extremely simple and easy to grok - the complicated parts of Yjs and Automerge are the sophisticated data-structures and algorithms that are pretty much only needed for large document text editing.

Hmm well if I understand you correctly that's what I was saying as well:

Things go wrong when the DB trusts the application layer (rather than doing its own validation) -- e.g. the DB should control what is valid data, not the application layer.
Without entering into an endless debate about semantics and metaphysics I would simply say that if you want to use the word discovered for the axioms then you must acknowledge that the theorems are not the same kind of discovered.
If you are not using cloud services just virtual machines that's rarely worth it. And for a lot of people renting dedicated servers is the best business decision. It can be so much cheaper than EC2 that you solve your normal scalability problem by simply having a large amount of excess capacity. As you grow, some dedicated providers will give you an API to spin up a server in <120 seconds so even adding capacity quickly becomes possible. If your load is extremely spikey then this is not going to work but most people doesn't deal with loads like that -- or have other mitigation strategies.

Always keep an eye on your business goals and not on the hype. For oneuptime obviously downtime is a huge problem but you'd be surprised for how many businesses it's much cheaper to be down for a few minutes here and there than engineering a complex HA mechanism. The aforementioned spiking problem often can be solved cheaply by degrading the hot pages to static and serving them from CDN (if you have a mechanism for doing this of course). And so forth.

Remember KISS.

Physics is just one (non-)choice of axioms. Math that works in the world is physics, it's all discovered. You can't invent math and expect physics to follow.

Other math is invented through the choice of axioms and then we discovery the theorems that follow from those.
I know exactly why dealerships exist, and I'd bet most here do as well. The argument is that the reasons they exist are outdated, and only continue because of lobbying.

> The current model increases safety

How, specifically? Would a Tesla be more safe if it were bought from a middleman dealership as opposed to directly from the manufacturer? Would Toyotas be less safe when purchased directly from Toyota?

Similarly, is there any evidence that a used car purchased from an independent seller is statistically less safe than one purchased from a dealership?

> If you cannot articulate the reason for why dealerships exist, you are not equipped to argue for their deregulation.

How about you focus on the argument, rather than an ad hominem? Or is that your only argument?

These are easy questions you could just answer, and then we'll have some common ground to discuss. But I bet you won't answer.

Sticking with just my tech career, as before that wasn't a professional career.

1. Stumbled upon a dream job in the video game industry, couldn't pass it up, and glad I didn't. I also was mainly just coasting at the previous job, nothing really needed there other than quickly resolve client requests when needed. I only really needed to work about 10 hours a week there.

2. (Next five jobs were either contractor gigs or I was laid off, so I didn't resign, but a couple I definitely should have).

3. Was there for 6 years, the team was a shell of what it used to be and was in keep the lights on mode at that point (went from a 40 person team down to a 5 person team, between layoffs and slow attrition), put up with way too much crap including them taking away benefits and bonus, a pittance of a raise for years, and didn't promote me even though I was doing my previous boss's job and then some after he left (and did so for about three years), but about half the time it wasn't too difficult or it was inconvenient to leave because of a busy personal life, and also the pandemic was right in the middle of that, so that made me hesitant to go somewhere else since it was already remote. What made me pull the trigger was constantly reading on here how white hot the tech industry was at the time, and just being sick of my situation. Got a new job with a 60% raise a month later. So yeah, definitely should have left sooner.

4. Still at my current job, been almost 2 and a half years, starting to get the itch to do other things, but there's a chance I might get promoted (have a couple people pushing for it), so I'm sticking it out a bit longer to see if that happens. Also the work I'm doing is much more current and high profile yet not too stressful, which lets me have some energy to focus on personal projects after work still, which is nice.
