It only leads to job loss if the labor demand is capped to the status quo.

Which will actually be the case in far less situations long term than people seem to think.

The reality is the early adopters who downsize staff to maintain current levels of output are shooting themselves in the foot as what's going to happen down the road is competitors stay staffed up but expand the scope of labor pulling away market share from the early adopters.

For example, you could cut staff and use AI to continue to produce mass market copy selling your products. Or you could keep the headcount the same and enhance each employee with AI in order to develop a pipeline spitting out copy optimized to the long tail of your customer base improving conversion in segments there was previously no way to tap with positive ROI.

i.e. Book publishers in the age of the printing press could have kept a roster of only a handful of authors and fired most of their transcribing staff or kept a large headcount for an expanded roster of authors. Scaling up productivity without scanning down labor should generally be the first place a wise company's mind goes, not scaling up productivity to scale down labor.

Individual jobs will shift (no need for transcribers with a printing press), but overall headcount shouldn't shift much as long as there's sufficient competition in a given market segment.

Imagine actually, unironically watching a movie with the motion smoothing off. Yes, I sure like to watch my movie on Google Slides and see every single frame during camera pans.

Perhaps once movies are recorded at a frame rate from the current decade this advice will be useful. We play PC games at 144Hz+ for a reason. There is no need for movies to still run a format derived from technical limitations of a hundred years ago.
> If the rental market is clearing, and the ownership market is clearing, that means that the same number of houses are being lived in as there were before the houses were sold.

It's not just about the number of homes. It's also about the prices of those homes. The crisis is not necessarily that people literally can't find a place to rent; it's that they can't afford it.

You cannot apply that analysis because the deaths were not randomly sampled. They were hyper concentrated on certain demographics that also largely separate social networks.

I would guess Most people did not lose someone close (for conservative definitions of “close”). Given that you did lose someone close, you probably lost more than one.

This means the API did in fact change. But you're right of course, sometimes we pick the wrong number to bump (major vs minor vs patch).
That doesn't sound like an issue with semver (or pragmatic). There is no versioning convention that will prevent people from being people. A rigid, automated (magical) versioning _system_ might do that, but not a convention/standard.

I find semver extremely helpful, both as an author and consumer. It may make me think a little for some packages about where I want to pin things, but at least it makes the mechanics of pinning them sensible.

Edit: packets -> packages
Not really, but you can improve it a little by disabling automatic firmware updates. So it at least doesn't get worse.

Take all the nuclear waste the world produces in a year, now dissolve it in a swimming pool. Would you drink from that pool? No, and neither would I.

At first I was confused because of how similar this sounds to semver, but it's really just changing the granularity from (major, minor, patch) to (release, major, minor), where "major" versions break compatibility in both schemes.

I think they mean either what is E[x| y] (standard regression point estimate) along with a confidence interval (this assumes that the mean is a meaningful quantity), or the interval s.t. F(x | y) -- the PDF of x -- is between .025 and .975 (the 95% predictive interval centered around .5). The point is that the width of the confidence interval around the point estimate of the mean converges to 0 as you add more data because you have more information to estimate this point estimate, while the predictive interval does not, it converges to the interval composed of the aleatoric uncertainty of the data generating distribution of x conditioned on the measured covariates y
Correct, the macOS 32bit OS had an array of design decisions that impact large aspects of the system as a whole, and so it was deprecated - a large number of the APIs added after 2009 were 64bit only - and then removed so the OS could remove the various support infrastructure needed for that - recall that iOS shares a bunch of the core OS and dropped 32bit hardware entirely before "Apple Silicon" happened so you complicate everything for a deprecated platform. Then of course you run into the whole "there is no 32bit hardware at all" thing on the last few generations of mac hardware.

Supporting old hardware is not free (engineering time is the issue, presumably not money :D), supporting what is in essence an entire dead platform is even worse. It also means that those games and software that are 32bit (or in the case of steam, Intel only) have significantly increased overhead on the system - you suddenly have to map in essentially an entire copy of userspace, and there are likely indirect overheads as well due to page table nonsense, etc. This is before we get to things like rosetta.

I do think there is something to be said about blockchain tech being applied to the information trust problem. Projects like Cosign use Trillian (https://transparency.dev/) for software supplychain security to ensure provenance. Good provenance has to reach back to the source and hardware. Software only solutions will not complete the circle. An example I like to use is proving the authenticity of an image. We will have to get cryptographic signatures on the image before it reaches beyond the firmware, and we'll also need a way to trust the software and HSM in a camera. Here, I think blockchain tech might have a valid application.

Personally, I'm a fan of Proof of Authority ledgers like Trillian and Hyperledger Fabric. We don't need the crypto and it's baggage to get the majority of the benefits.
anything with cgi will be much more expensive at higher frames right? I also have absolutely no idea how any of that works.
@ji6 I have to tell you, we are using Kubernetes since the very early versions available.

If you automate everything you will never have an issue with K8, you can deploy all the required dependencies in one go. You can run the tests, if done correctly this literally requires 10 minutes.

This argument to have an LTS Version for me is like air. It's the kind of Nuclear Reactor argument. We did have the money to buy Uranium to burn but now we can't afford to dispose it normally.

Kubernetes is for flexibility not for big companies which want to use their software development processes of the 90's...

>you really seem to be expressing that you only care about the way that you happen to consume text

No, I only care about the way I write text. If I'm writing an article and I want to make text bold, I don't want to waste my time having to come up with a deeper explanation about WHY should the text be bold. That's an obstacle in the creative process. I want bold text. Period. I don't want <em> or <strong>, and I don't want a "bring attention to" element". I want bold.

Can you say that EVERY SINGLE TIME I want bold text that will match the semantics of <strong>? If that's true, then it shouldn't be called <strong>, it should be called <bold>. If that's not true, then one day I'll mark something as <strong> because I want bold text and it will be the incorrect tag for that text because of a semantic mismatch. In that case, what should I do? Should I just use <span style="text-weight: bold"> or <span class="bold"> for my bold text? Are you telling me that every time I want bold text I'll have to make the conscious choice of deciding whether I should use a <strong> tag or a <span> tag? Can you imagine the nightmare of making this work in a CMS like Wordpress? It would be much easier to just never use <strong> at all and just use <span> for bold every time.

If the only way to make sure you're using the semantics correctly is to just never use the tag at all, I say we just give up on this <strong> nonsense and use the <b> tag which matches the semantics of what the person writing the text wants to convey.

It's clear that you've never talked to any leftist about this, because what you're likely to hear is an argument that everyone should have the right to own their own home (yes, as private property).

They way I'd look at it - if your app owns the database and schema, use Django. If your app is connecting into someone else's database or databases (like in enterprises with DBA priesthoods etc), the flexibility of SQLAlchemy can fit better around arbitrary schemas etc.
Where does this nonsensical argument keep coming from? No idea what a "cheap soap opera" is even supposed to be.

It's not that it doesn't work, it's that you lose information. normally a flag would be:

.Fl x

And an environment variable:

.Ev VARNAME

Instead of just saying "this text is bold", or just not marking it at all.

Does that matter? Maybe, maybe not. In theory at least "a list of all flags used and referenced in this document" and "list of all env vars references" would pretty useful. In practice so many manpages get this wrong that it just doesn't work half the time, so then it's no longer all that useful for the general case.

Unless AsciiDoc changed a lot since I last looked at it, it doesn't support anything like this.
My hope is that thanks to stuff like DLSS frame generation in video games (or maybe AR/VR) that the opinion of a majority of people will change over time. So that eventually maybe... we might actually see movies being filmed in higher framerates. People's conditioning really stands in their way, imo.

The only bad thing about motion interpolation on most TVs in my book is the fact that the /implementation is often pretty bad/. If perfect frame interpolation was a thing, I'd watch everything upsampled to 165Hz of my monitor. Well, I do it anyway using the Smooth Video Project. But that also suffers from artifacts, so is far from perfect. Much better than judder though...

> Had he cooperated, it's plausible to see him getting away with a license revocation and fine.

Reminder of the quotation from Howard Baker (R-TN): “It is almost always the cover-up rather than the event that causes trouble.”

Though some would disagree:

> There's this old line the wise folks in Washington have that 'it's not the crime, but the cover-up.'

> But only fools believe that. It's always about the crime. The whole point of the cover-up is that a full revelation of the underlying crime is not survivable. Let me repeat that, the whole point of the cover-up is a recognition that a full revelation of the underlying bad act is not survivable. Indeed, the cover-ups are usually successful. And that's why they're tried so often. Just look at this administration [in 2007]. They're the ultimate example of this truth.

Not if they can't afford their own rent.

if you actually look at housing inflation vs. wage growth, the real story is that people are getting substantially poorer over time. A little bit of extra tax revenue to their town or city isn't going to offset that.

But yes, it's nice when someone is contributing to your living space but doesn't actually live there. Localized example: my building neighbor is away ~50% of the time and it's amazing.

“Conclusions: This comprehensive meta-analysis provides additional evidence supporting the protective association between fiber intake and all-cause and cause-specific mortality rates.“
I may be being dense, and I realise this is a meta analysis, but the abstract doesn’t explain how much fibre one needs to eat to reduce all-cause mortality by the amount they claim?
This can be true but depends on other sources of error being small enough. Standard error is just a formula and it varies inversely with the square of the sample size, so you trivially narrow a confidence interval by sampling more often. In this specific case, imagine you had daily measures of violent crime instead of only annual. You'd get much tighter error bars.

Does that mean you should be more surprised if your predictions are wrong? It depends. You've only reduced model error, but this is the classic precision versus accuracy problem. You can very precisely estimate the wrong number. Does the model really reflect the underlying data generating process? Are the inputs you're giving reliable measurements? If both answers are yes, then your more precise model should be converging toward a better prediction of the true value, but if not, you're only getting a better prediction of the wrong thing.

We can ask these questions with this very example. Clearly, ARIMA is not a causally realistic model. Criminals don't look at last year's crime rates and decide whether to commit a crime based on that. The assumption is that, whatever actually does cause crime, it tends to happen at fairly similar levels year to year, that is, 2020 should be more different than 2010 than it is different from 2019. We may not know what the causually relevant factors really are or we may not be able to measure them, but we at least assume they follow that kind of rule. This sounds plausible to me, but is it true? We can backtest by making predictions of past years and seeing how close they are to the measured value, but the possibility of this even working depends upon the answer to the second question.

So then the second question. Is the national violent crime data actually reliable? I don't know the answer to that, but it certainly isn't perfect. There is a real crime rate for every crime, but it isn't exactly the reported number. Recording and reporting standards vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Many categories of crime go undereported, the extent of which can change over time. Changes may reflect different policing emphasis as much as or more than changes in the underlying true rate. I believe the way the FBI even collects and categorizes data has changed in the past, so I'm not sure a measurement from 1960 can be meaningfully compared to a measurement from 2020.

Ultimately, "how surprised you should be when you are wrong" needs to take all of these sources of error into account, not just the model's coefficient uncertainty.

There are numerous counter-examples to this claim. In many cases, it's obvious because the cover-up is of a civil infraction.
