I admire Ray Dalio's principles and his effort to promote public education around his principles and macroeconomics.

If more rich successful people tried help educate the public the way Ray does, the world would be a better place.
UPDATE: This volcanologist seems to think this is indeed quite similar to Christchurch.

3rd party apps would likely work fine for this. You would lose some functionality, but ultimately, email would work.
Haven't read deepness. Is it similar to Fire? Read Fire and rainbows end and I think Vinge has the largest 'interesting ideas per chapter' ratio, but not too keen on the presentation (too much random weirdness).
If you think they are good at picking winners at scale then many small bets makes sense, like a VC fund. Of course it's harder to tell if they're doing any work since they're not private investments, but many VC funds also ride coattails without adding much alpha.
Wasn't the contractor managing Shot Spotter caught falsifying data outright to help cops who wanted probable cause?

The working classes of developed nations need systematic help. Unequivocally.

Poor people in underdeveloped nations also need help.

EA targets the latter need, but that does not invalidate the former need.

Unfortunately, people like SBF, who it'd be fair to consider enemies of the working class, associated themselves with EA and have tarnished the brand.
Yes, and they have those systems (fixed cameras, shotspotter, and drones) now that they maintain. We're just talking about using them together.

Also, a faster response could result in a better rate of finding crime. "89% of ShotSpotter’s reports led police to find no gun-related crime" does not equal "89% of reports weren't gunshots". It could be that police show up too late.
For normal VCS's, you are absolutely right. And you're actually right for mine, but I decided to redo the math to make sure.

My VCS will track things at a finer level than documents. In a C file, it will track individual functions and structs. In a Java file, it will track individual fields and classes. In a Microsoft Word document, it might track individual paragraphs. And in a Blender file, it will track each object, material, texture, etc. individually.

Yes, it will handle binary files.

Anyway, it will also be designed for non-technical users. To that end, it will hook into the source software and do a "commit" every time the user saves.

It will also track individual directories to make renames work.

I am a ctrl+s freak, so I save once a minute or more. However, other people are not, so let's assume 10 minutes (for autosave, perhaps).

Now let's assume a monorepo for a company of 100,000 people. And let's assume that when they save every 10 minutes, they save one object in one file (also tracked) two directories down. That means they create 5 hashes every 10 minutes (the fifth is the top level).

Let's assume an effective 6-hour work day.

That's 5 objects times 6 times per hour times 6 hours. That's 180 objects a day per person.

That's 18,000,000 total objects per day. Times 5 for days in a week, times 50 for work weeks in a year.

That's 4.5 billion.

Let's multiply that by 40 for 40 years that the repo exists, which includes some of the oldest software.

That's 1.8e11 objects. According to [1], a 128-bit hash would not be enough for the error correction on a disk at that point.

However, a 256-bit hash would give us a 10^31 objects before reaching that point, which gives us 10^20 times 40 years of space.

Yep, you're absolutely right that 512 bits is overkill. I stand corrected.

That would undermine the original point you made, though:

> Everywhere it's installed officers find usefulness in triangulating where shots are popped off.

At best, cops are going on 'feels' here because, presumably, the data aren't sufficient to provide a solid basis for analysis. Or the police are withholding data that proves the system works well, which prima facie seems unlikely.
There's a vast body of peer reviewed research that disagrees with your opinion.

This is exactly it.

1000 years ago, in the original TF, I was a conc jumping medic, but pyro suits me better now that Medic conc grenades are gone. End of an era, imo.
FWIW, I have experience in TS/JS, Python, Java, and Scala. I would say TS/JS is my strongest stack.

Its not the minor syntax differences that I have trouble with, its that ruby does not "fit my brain like a glove."
This comment sounds a lot like "Have fun staying poor", as applied to AI rather than crypto.
Yes, because the signal will be equally confusing.

A sensor 4 blocks away will often record a much louder sound than one half a block away, because of buildings that are variously absorbing or reflecting sound.

That makes triangulation utterly useless.

You can localize to maybe a 20 square block area, but that's not a whole lot for cops to go on.
I think the social concept of maturity comes from social hierarchy and advance, more than any story we tell ourselves about personal growth. Grandma wanted some cake at the end just as I do now, and always have ;)

It’s a way to organize society with a common-sense-sounding multilevel marketing presentation of how you can become grandpa and have a sizable downline!

Yet. You’re still gonna be you, and that’s the scam. You can always tell which kid wants to sit around and read, and which kid wants to be a politician, and which kid is going to be a heavy metal drummer.

Sometimes a kid will never fit a mold, but they almost never flip personalities. If someone is surprised that Johnny ditches work in his 40’s, I find that the exterior world made the wrong conclusions about why he ditched class in his 8’s and teens.

I think it’s just hard for us to accept that a lot of who we are is baked into our personalities from birth.

Yeah, the lack of concrete examples makes this feel a bit too much like a shower thought to me.

Supported and supported with hardware decoding are different things. No one likes when their device gets toasty and runs out of charge in an hour.
PostScript is a fascinating programming language. Back in the 90s I wrote a program to filter Rich Text to PostScript. One of the formatting options is "full justification" which adjusts the width of inter-word spacing to achieve smooth left and right margins. The code to accomplish this is written in PostScript. https://github.com/excitom/rt2ps
One of the fun parts of AI is finding out that abstractive summarization is "easy", but extractive summarization (which is what humans do far more often in practice) is still very hard. Partly because most datasets assume sentence level extractive summarization, which is often not how humans summarize documents.

There's still tons of very low hanging fruit in the summarization work. I'm not aware of significant followup work to pointer networks besides pointer-generator networks, which these days are considered old news. Pointer based architectures are the ideal system for word level extractive summarizers, yet the very best extractive summarization systems today are usually nothing more than sentence selectors using some kinds of embeddings and cosine similarity.

Happy to see such success with abstractive summaries, but the kind that myself and most other humans are interested in is still far from solved.
More performant chips mean you can have more software abstraction and build things quickly. The increase in chip speed does not correspond to faster program execution but rather faster program authorship.

It's easier to train an army of web developers to build React applications than to teach them PHP + JS, Ruby + JS, etc. Those React developers can also (on average; many people are insanely productive in "uncool" languages) write applications more quickly.

For example, a company could write their app for macOS + Windows + Linux using native frameworks, or they could write their app once in JS + Electron.

A native app would certainly be much more performant, but that comes at the cost of being much more difficult to build, and most likely, Linux would not be supported at all.
It really isn't that simple. For example, the distinction you're ignoring from the comments you replied to is the question of correcting a single error among how many bits: one bit error across the full 64-bit width of a DIMM, or one bit error per each 32-bit sub-channel now that DDR5 has split the DIMM in a way that previous desktop memory standards don't.

Where a non-ECC DIMM is usually 8 DRAM chips (64 bits) and in DDR4 or earlier and an ECC DIMM would be 9 DRAM chips (72 bits), now with DDR5 can have either 9 DRAM chips or 10 DRAM chips (80 bits).

The question of whether ECC protection is strong enough to provide SECDED also is insufficient to address the complexities of having ECC protection only on the link, or end-to-end via sideband or in-band ECC, or using a combination of separately implemented link ECC and on-die ECC.
the vpn vs country thing is the canonical example of engineering vs management and present in most organizations.

We shouldn't forget Chernobyl. Yes the statistics say that air pollution is a far worse killer than nuclear power plants but that same statistic applies to nuclear bombs.

I feel people are just blindly following the data driven narrative and using it to predict something as unpredictable as the stock market. More caution is needed here. Yes, I agree that nuclear is an option here, but it is not an option that is so obviously the best as some people think it is.
It is very rare that anyone truly cares. I’ve only had this be a real issue with flights when someone uses my preferred name even though I tell them not to, and it inconveniences me while I try to fix it.

Powerful person abusing connections to take down an influencer's page; what do?
I have an acquaintance I know through a friend who is a social media influencer. He’s never done anything wrong or broke any rules on Instagram, super sweet guy. There’s a social media agency that did him dirty and took his money and he exposed them. This other person who owns this agency in their country is a person with powerful connections with people who have services to do his bidding like mass spam death threats, dirty comments, etc.

Today as revenge he took down my acquaintance’s Instagram page. This is my acquaintance’s only livelihood. I’m not quite sure if the malicious powerful person had his people employ mass reports to his account or had someone inside Instagram EMEA (yes it’s happened before to someone else) to take down the account but it happened. Can someone please tell me how I can help him contact Instagram’s actual employees about this here in the states? I don’t know who to ask, this is a serious matter and any word of advice would definitely help. Thank you
That's a terrible and destructive practice. You can set the priority to 'low' if you want. You can filter low priority tickets out of your todo list. But don't close the ticket unless you are actually confirming that it is no longer an issue.
Internally we used IBM’s RS6000 compiler. Novell contracted with Cygnus for a GNU based compiler for their NLM developers that was being developed concurrently with our development. That compiler was for all the PIN based architectures (PA-RISC, SPARC, MIPs, PPC) that PIN was initially intended for.

Further down the rabbit hole. "Bäng" is slang in Swedish of being high on cannabis. I had to look up where it came from and:

>From Tavringer Romani beng, bäng (“devil, satan”), from Romani beng (“devil”). Related to Sanskrit व्यङ्ग (vyaṅga, “speckled, deformed”).

Bängometer totally conveys the same thing in Swedish and most would understand the meaning.
That's a bit of a joke. It's like saying, "I only buy cars with an electric starter now!"
Not "any" but "most". I've worked for a company whose RoR codebase/structure looked completely different from the usual because they used a Domain Driven Design-inspired architecture.
I would like to read more about that incident - which book was it!? - but I can find no other reference, alas.
I wonder why RISC-V wasn't designed from the ground up to use separate stacks for data and subroutines. x86 and ARM have the excuse of maintaining compatibility with legacy design decisions, but RISC-V is less than 10 years old. Were there other implementation constraints that prevented such a design?
I had a shock when I looked up prices for H100 gpus, wanting to use one just for personal experimentation and for an upcoming hackathon. How much this one costs? $300,000?
Seems perfectly plausible. CPU binning has been being done for years. Made an 8-core chip, but one core is faulty? Disable some cores and sell it as a 6- or 4-core chip. Chip won't run at the frequency expected? Sell it as a lower-spec CPU.

Still, I wonder how much square footage of housing was built; not just units. I'm under the impression that the average house built in the 10's era is larger than one built half a century before which could mean that more housing is being built (by area or volume) and yet fewer units are available. I guess I'm one of those anti-consumerist, people-should-live-in-modest-housing malcontents, but I grew up in a family of four in a small house, and we got by no problem.
Gravity's Rainbow is completely understandable right up until you put the book down for a second.

Less than five minutes, but gets the point across. Skip to 2:50 for visual.
I’m not trying to ascribe merit or judge either Finnegan’s Wake or Gravity’s Rainbow… I’m trying to highlight the fact that the line between good art and bad art is subjective, blurry, and sometimes pointless.

The fact an artist can be a bit of a troll sometimes adds to their work… just look at the partially shredded Banksy and how it was still worth lots of money since it was clearly the artist’s intention to have it shred… I’d argue that the shredded pieces would probably have retained just as much value if it had fully shredded since it would have been relatively easy to reassemble…as it’s a known artwork not unknown dense text.

Yup, “in order to align with global standards” has become a meme where I work, because the phrase always preceeds “we are removing one of our location-specific perks” ;(
The stupid idea is your value creation should come from internal/external prostitution works and radiating positive energies and importantly not from self playing on computers, because too much in software is measured subjectively and this mindset works for those that can game the system. This shouldn't go on forever, but kind of continue to spread until going against this trends becomes differentiation(and positive outlook in it is there's no way such trend is continuing, or perhaps even happening at at all at this point where random grumpy idiot like I am is rambling about it)
Fast hash functions are really important, and SHA256 is really slow. Switching the hash function where you can is enough to result in user-visible speedups for common hashing use cases; verifying build artifacts, seeing if on-disk files changed, etc. I was writing something to produce OCI container images a few months ago, and the 3x SHA256 required by the spec for layers actually takes on the order of seconds. (.5s to sha256 a 50MB file, on my 2019-era Threadripper!) I was shocked to discover this. (gzip is also very slow, like shockingly slow, but fortunately the OCI spec lets you use Zstd, which is significantly faster.)

Correct, but I'm trying to draw a parallel between regular, scheduled shareholder votes and regular, scheduled votes for elected officials. In the U.S we typically have around 60% of eligible voters participating in presidential elections. My analogy assumes that voting against the incumbent follows the same rules as voting against the board, in which case we would need something like 84% of cast votes to be for the challenger to avoid re-electing the incumbent. (Assuming I haven't gotten my math wrong.) I'll also go so far as to suggest voter participation is low in both cases but it isn't a very effective tool for changing policy. :-)

When I was a kid, one of my parents told me diff eq was a course they had not even gone to class for and passed, which set me up for disappointment in diff eq pedagogy for sure. It didn't help when I read this article, and then took sophomore diff eq and it was exactly as described. Later in grad school I'd actually teach the course to my complete chagrin. I think I mentioned this essay to my students, because how could I not? Of course I did not try to redo the diff eq pedagogy, but I did put a lot of emphasis on linearity.

For example:

No, a "purpose or qualifier" is (usually) the defining characteristic of a noun.

For example, power infrastructure vs water infrastructure. If you said "power Danish infrastructure" or "water Danish infrastructure", power/water don't make sense as adjectives.

Sometimes "critical" is a qualifier like "critical condition" but in this case, it's a quality.
Why should they be treated any different?
Thank you. I remember seeing someone had made a clock face using ferrofluids, and wanted to give something like that a go myself, but was put off hearing the information I was questioning.
Throughout much of 2022 something like this happened to me. Calling it a "fog" would have been a complete misnomer, it was more like a complete blackout - I was unable at one point to keep as little as 3 digits in my head for more than a few seconds, it became a real problem while trying to enter MFA prompts, to the point where I'd give up and start sobbing. I forgot my own address at one point, which prompted me to go to a neurologist who tested for everything under the sun including dementia.

Nothing came up.

Turned out it was the pandemic - sorta. I had been completely isolated for a while due to the pandemic and remote work, had severe physical pain due to some pending surgery I couldn't get treated (also indirectly due to covid), and some deep personal loss (also covid).

As soon as that stuff cleared up and got better, my memory returned promptly. Maybe it was a little covid going on, but I think these studies discount the secondary and tertiary effects of the pandemic a little too quickly. Lots of these symptoms are self-reported too, which is really really prone to error.

They need to start putting these people in double-blind studies that test cognition over long periods of time to really get to the root of this.
