While our insights aren't statistically representative of all data professionals, and 89% of the responders were Metabase users, they still reveal interesting findings, such as the impact of a specific database on team morale or distributed teams being more self-serve than localized teams.

Curious to see how this one decision plays out for nodejs IF -

- module authors increasingly adopt ESM

- TypeScript experience with Deno is butter smooth

- npm packages work with Deno

- performance characteristics are similar

- DX for beginners just works (compared to thousands of stale articles with `require('pkg')` and `npm install pkg@latest` for nodejs)
>Anywhere inside the Yamanote line, there are generally no express lines; all the Tokyo Metro lines stop at every station.

That makes sense, because it's the ring line surrounding and regular lines serving historically dense portions of Tokyo. Express trains to what count as suburbs in Japan are efficient. The point is to keep commutes less than an hour each way (which is more tolerable than the ~30 min in America since you're not driving).

>but it's almost impossible to do as long as car culture is so important and parking requirements exist.

There's been movement on that front. But, again, the problem isn't the rules themselves, but the benefit people get from them being so widespread (essentially forcing other people to subsidize their lifestyle). The true culprit is that so many Americans profit from impoverishment (of their neighbors and municipalities).
Other than a Reuter's article[1] (and some very similar articles) hyping up the testing of what looks like a pretty normal boat but with hydrofoils, I can't find anything about the reception. Is this your personal experience? Do you know why people were unimpressed?

What's your take on cryptocurrency projects?
I don't doubt that a lot will, but it's also easy to sign a letter.
Hitting debris or the bottom while on foils is NOT recommended and can be catastrophic to the boat and its passengers.

Hydrofoils haven't taken off because of the above and, primarily, the high operation, maintenance, and build costs. Historically, these just have not been more economical than their traditional counterparts.

Being that this particular company is not focused on those parts of this and are solely focused on the technology being green, my guess is they are ignoring the operation, maintenance, and build costs and hoping that they can be all hand-wavey about that part--which probably will not pay off for them.

This attitude just doesn't work for js ecosystem. I have some shell scripts, vim config files, etc. that I don't remember what they do, but I just copy over and they work.

Coding projects are different; they break all the time. Especially with how fast the js/ts ecosystem works. One day, a crucial library just decides that it's changed something that doesn't work with the build process because there's so many variations of them that they can't possibly all be tested against.
I can understand that cooling a tunnel network like that is difficult, but surely filtering particles from the air is a solvable problem? Movable air filters on the platforms, etc.

Video of one of their smaller "speedboats":
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2i2Zf9WVlNY

I guess they can operate in waves that don't reach the hull? At least sideways

EDIT: Their FAQ says the speedboat can handle 1.2M high waves:
A Candela generally outperforms regular leisure boats in rough weather. The maximum wave height when foiling is approximately 1.2 meters from wave peak to valley.

https://candela.com/faq/
I'm wondering if this solution lands too much in between usable options.

Long sea passages might have rougher weather which is not great for hydrofoils and might be too long for battery ranges. In short passages in inland bodies of water (with better wave conditions for hydrofoils and friendlier to battery ranges), do you have enough distance to start gliding in order to get the benefits of hydrofoil?

As is oxygen and waste; I never thought of it as an analog to the same problems that the tube has.
Also totally different boat eh. Those waves are probably a little bigger than they look, but yes, definitely "better than average" I would say.
Interesting! I am not too annoyed by the coordinate system with flipped y-axis, but I understand that other graphics APIs handle it differently, the vertical-first order I really don't get though.

Out of curiosity, I just briefly looked at the OpenGL 1.0 specification from 1994 [1] and it seems it is also taking coordinates in the order (x,y), I wonder why CSS then decided to go the other way.

What does £10 per rider of the line mean? How does that help us look at things?

I used to commute 5 times a week (often more) on Piccadilly. So that’s £5,200 for my ridership for the year? From that perspective seems rather expensive…

It’s disappointing they ditched the signal upgrades. It will bite everyone soon enough. Some of these systems date back over a hundred years, and are all incredibly bespoke.

Re the missed stations, I feel like they missed an opportunity with the Elizabeth Line line to shift more Heathrow traffic that way, giving some breather to Piccadilly during signal upgrades.
This sounds interesting - what do you mean by the "built-in extension points"?

Federally, there is precedent that collaborative projects can be an exception to the general federal prohibition of no poach agreements. Whether that would work on California law (IIRC, the federal prohibition is an application of antitrust law, the California one is a labor protection), and whether the other aspects of the Microsoft-OpenAI agreement would fit in the exception, I don't know.
Yeah, and unlike humans who double park, people lose their minds at an AV, hence why the company increased the number of operators.

They're also overstaffed to deal with surges - I recommend you go read the (ex) CEO's response to these claims. As the number of cars on the road goes up, the number of employees required to deal with surges increases more slowly. At some point the ratio increases from 1:20, which is where it's already at.

My understanding was that, similar to a sail on a boat, you really want to be able to "trim" your foil, which is really complicated. You can have a good "average" foil but it will really be great in most conditions.

Yep. For frontend use, I think https://www.npmjs.com/package/openapi-typescript is the most widely-used/well-regarded, though https://www.npmjs.com/package/orval seems to me to have some nicer features like react-query support.

There are other options too, I'd just stay away from "_the_ openapi generator" (https://openapi-generator.tech/) which does a pretty poor job IMO.

I don't really know why, but at this point whenever I read any new OpenAI news, Yakety Sax starts playing in my head.
There is actually an intermediate step between "friction brakes" and "regenerative braking" - electric trains can use the engines to brake, but the current produced is then fed to resistors, which dissipate it as heat, rather than used to charge a battery or to feed it back into the power supply line - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking#Rheostatic_bra.... So the friction brakes are actually only used when maximum braking is required - and these will also be needed with regenerative braking. Using regenerative instead of rheostatic braking will however lower the amount of heat produced I guess...
That's ostensibly what Youtube is, a big pile of users AKA consumers that Google promises to smartly match with relevant ads to improve the chances those consumers spend money with a company they saw an ad for. It fails to live up to this goal constantly, and seems to just barely check if an ad is relevant anymore.

Google essentially holds creators hostage in this arrangement. Creators provide content the consumers want, but they only get paid well if the consumers don't skip the ads. So creators have to pander to what Youtube as a platform "seems to want" (thumbnails with :O face are so hot right now) in hopes that the algorithm will deliver videos to consumers who want them AND they are shown ads they don't immediately hate and skip. If any of those things fails to happen, they don't get paid as much as they should and it's not even their fault.

Every dictionary in every language (including related things such as Glossaries and dictionaries related to specific subjects, fields, genres, etc., i.e., Law Dictionaries, Thieves' Cant dictionaries (hey, maybe they are one in the same! I'm just kidding... well, mostly!) should be collected and subsequently turned into simple formatted text files (CSV, JSON, "Word"="Definition Of Word", ?), one per dictionary.

Each dictionary file should have a meta-data header (also with some common format) -- which describes the name of the dictionary, the year, the language, the subject, the country of origin -- and anything else that might be of relevance or use.

These files should then be publicly available -- like on GitHub or what-have-you -- for AI training ("AI, read me this ancient document but only use these ancient dictionaries (or "only use dictionaries before year: <Year Long Ago>") when you translate...").

Maybe we'd also want the AI to generate a yearly snapshot (a dictionary in its own right) of all of the words (and phrases) that it knows about in a given year.

This way, when new phrases/words come into popular usage, AI's can identify when/where and how (approximately) the word came into popular usage...

Also, same thing, but with word meanings...

Words tend to shift their meanings around as great amounts of time pass... When that happens -- the past (that is, all past/historical writings in that language) are effectively lost because the meanings are lost, and now those writings read as gibberish...

Languages change and shift over time!

We could preserve more of Earth's history (as historical writings whose meaning and intent could be properly deciphered in the future) if we can preserve the proper translation of writings in a language at a specific point in time...

The things suggested above are only the proverbial "tip of the iceberg" with respect to accomplishing this historical preservation -- it's a much larger project than it would seem...

...But it would be a very important project for Future Historians...

That is a one-dimensional analysis.

You might need to include more dimensions if you really want to model the actual impact and respect that Sam Altman has among knowledgeable investors, high talent developers, and ruthless corporations.

It’s so easy to just make things simple, like “it’s all hype”. But you lose touch with reality when you do that.

Also, lots of hype is productive: clear vision, marketing, wowing millions of customers with an actual accessible product of a kind/quality that never existed before and is reshaping the strategies and product plans of the most successful companies in the world.

I think it comes down to prioritizing speed of execution in the race for AGI, especially in the context of two constrained resources:
