I find his questions to be anything but thoughtful. At times, he seems not to even know what to ask or even fails to understand what's being said.

Stephen Wolfram's episode has not many rather is pretty much almost all like that. Dr. Wolfram and Lex clearly seem to be on very very different planes throughout.

I found this again to be the case about with John Carmack's session.

Questions that I would have placed would have been what would be a 3D engine look like if Carmack is commissioned to build it today that must be cross platform? What technologies he thinks have future and if then in what direction.

Only explanation could be that maybe that's not the purpose of the podcast at all. The goal is to just have aimless, low caliber, ordinary conversation to keep it approachable for a wider audience.

Germany adding a Nuclear can be good for Germany and bad for France.

Germany is happy to buy cheap electricity if it means saving money on coal. If importing at say 5c/kWh saves them money by using less coal then Germany would happily import at 4.5c/kWh. However, with nuclear they save less money shutting reactors down so they have less interest in importing power unless it’s really cheap as in 1c/kWh cheap.

This means if Germany adds nuclear reactors either France gets less money when exporting electricity per kWh, or France exports fewer kWh per year. Both of those are bad for France.
there is a lot of armchair quarterbacking in this thread.

i don't know why the people who were trained to raise these animals, lived with them, LOVED them for years, and came to the excruciating decision to terminate them are being treated as amateurs. from my reading of this article, the decision, although difficult, would have been made exactly the same way today. the paramount concern in zoos is always human life. they knew these animals best, and they knew what they were capable of.

i don't envy the keepers there that day, this will unfortunately be a cloud over their whole career/life.

I agree with the main point of this article, I see news more as entertainment than information, but the part about BLM didn't make sense to me.

> the total number of unarmed blacks fatally shot by U.S. police in 2019 was 14

I don't think BLM were as concerned with the absolute number of unarmed black people killed by police in the US, more with the fact that unarmed black people were more likely to be killed by police than people of other races. Plus, most other countries manage to fatally shoot zero people every year, regardless of race.

Dismissing the problem of police shootings just because people die more from other things feels like the author already had a negative opinion of BLM (as they say in the article) and when they found that statistic it validated their opinion and they didn't interrogate it further.
Yeah, the cost is a bummer but if I look at it as spending $2 a month to avoid buying an iPhone, it's worth it.

You don't pull all of the control rods at the same time. You can fully withdraw some number of them, then control the reaction with a few more rods.

There are several strategies to provide additional control so it's not all at the bottom. For instance, in a PWR, reactivity decreases with temperature, so additional coolant can be injected where additional reactivity is needed. In the RBMK, a small number of rods were inserted from the bottom to provide more axial control.
You'd just have the network generate fingerprints for any given song similar to how facial recogniton is done

Siamese networks are what you want, two identical pairs of layers (one cached in this case) which act as the fingerprints then then the final layers are doing the similarity matching
You really have to have your ducks in a row to roll a cloud solution as an on-prem solution. I've participated in two rollouts like that - where it was a solid cloud product that we arranged to buy as on-prem - and both were pure failures. "Pure" as in "no one managed to even make the thing work, once, and then gave up".

This comes back to nontechnical leadership, as business process issues tend to do.

Leadership has something cool, they think "what's cool for us is cool for everyone", and then they try to sell into a market that maybe doesn't do cool in exactly the same ways. Take something like SAP B1P or JIRA. Both established or very powerful cloud apps. You'd be tempted to think that anyone in manufacturing would want some of this . . but then you have to build everything so that it's able to be portable-ized, which adds a ton of development time, and an ongoing maintenance cost that also involves headcount/travel/US persons/security clearance.

How do you know if that cost could be justified? Well, that's where "nontechnical" comes in. The right way is matching up costs of dev and maintenance with what the industry will minimally pay. The wrong way - which seems dominant - is to use your Leadership Spidey Sense to determine whether or not to take the plunge. Then you get stuck in, you short the dev or the maintenance, and end up with a platform not optimized for either cloud OR on prem.
It’s mostly the binary approach to achieving. Schools either get at grade level or not at grade level. So the goal is to get to the bare minimum to pass as many students as possible, not to create the highest total achievement
I don’t know what you mean by “common good” in this context, but if a company has a dominant market position and uses its power to cripple competition, then it falls within antitrust laws.

iMessage is so important today, especially to young Americans, that its exclusivity to iOS has become a significant barrier to Android or other operating systems from being competitive.

It’s up to regulators and the court system to decide whether that is a violation of antitrust law. But if it is, then yes, the government should force them to open it. That’s what it means to enforce antitrust law.
You need a power line to the switch and a separate power line to the fixture.

So good post, thanks!
Awesome, thank you. That's kind of what I was thinking, I'm glad you confirmed it. How exactly did you sync or data from PG -> Clickhouse?

I was considering using something like Airbyte, but then I thought this may actually be complex if PG rows are updating/deleting it means I also need to sync single rows (or groups of rows) to clickhouse, and I wasn't sure how the support was for that.

That answers how much risk a certain institution is willing to tolerate. Institutional tolerances differ from individuals IME; many institutions are risk-averse because people seek to protect their jobs, especially if it has a culture of blame.

Would you risk your life to save a chimpanzee? I would to some extent. A peaceful, friendly chimp; and with instruction from an expert; I might take the risk. An angry chimp would be unlikely to receive aid that involves risk. Forget violence; what about wading into a flood to rescue an unconscious chimp?
It can get tricky quickly. Imo there are two solutions here. First option is to count it as income that then gets written off as a business expense. Second is to flesh out what fully collateralized means to better express it as an alternative to selling something. I think the first option makes sense. There are many scenarios where businesses will take fully collateralized loans and then reinvest the proceeds, that shouldn't be taxed. But if the loans are just turned into profit they should be.
If third party client has optional E2EE, it's not exactly a merit to Apple, aside perhaps them not explicitly blocking such development.

I commented on the key verification in the other reply, it appears to be opt-in feature, so warnings about key changes are similar to WhatsApp, available if you known about them and you know you need them.

>A lot of the things you mentioned can actually be solved on the pypush side:

Yeah a lot of the problems can usually be fixed by fixing them. :) "At least it's not fundamentally borked" can't be the standard for a multi-trillion dollar company.

>a lot has changed since then

That's just the sad part. 1280-bit keys are still there. RSA is still there. Fingerprints were added but they're opt-in.

Apple can afford to hire Moxie or OWS to implement Signal protocol for them. The fact they treat iMessage as a second class SW in their otherwise high security is ridiculous. People deserve better and they should demand better.

>It provides a reasonable level of security

But that's just it. RSA isn't reasonable. Forward secrecy became the reasonable expectation in new protocols in 2004. It was 'This Love' by 'Maroon 5' years ago. TLS1.3 has already killed RSA entirely. 1280-bit keys haven't weren't acceptable even then. OTR from 2004 used 1536-bit RSA.

If people knew it was borderline ancient in terms of it's technology, they probably wouldn't find the unnecessary risks convenient.

My point is: Apple can afford an overhaul, and they damn well should rewrite the protocol.
> to turn every song into a hash

Just to be clear, it's not turning each song into a hash.

It's turning each song into many hundreds (thousands?) of hashes.

And then you're looking for the greatest number of mostly-consecutive matches of tens (or low hundreds) of hashes from your shorter sample.

Also, I don't think this would be done with training a model today, because you're adding many, many new songs each day, that would necessitate constant retraining. Hashes are still going to be the superior approach, not just for efficiency but for robustness generally.

Of course, viewing Mr. T as an anomaly is scapegoating, a way for people to quiet their nerves, to avoid having a naive article of faith undermined. There's emotional investment here. The case is similar with Harvey Weinstein. He is guilt, absolutely, and he should be punished, but Hollywood is full of exploitation. A scapegoat doesn't have to be innocent. In fact, it's more effective when the scapegoat is guilty himself in some manner. That makes it easier to accuse him and to deflect from the filth elsewhere.

Yes, governments can require interoperability and can limit monopolies. That's how antitrust laws work, like it or not. But if you want to get all libertarian, why should companies be able to use government power (as in courts, DMCA and the like) to shut down smaller companies that reverse-engineer their protocols?
Whiting, Indiana has a Pierogi festival in the fall, that is pretty big. The local Ukrainian Church in my home town says:

"PIEROGIES, PYROHY, VARENYKY
(They're the best whatever you call them!)

at St. Josaphat Ukrainian Catholic Church

in Munster, Indiana!

You can purchase pierogies/pyrohy/varenyky every Friday from 12:00pm to 3:00pm in our hall at 8624 White Oak Ave, Munster, Indiana. We encourage to place your order early each week on the phone to ensure your order can be filled - extras may not be available for walk-ins."

They also have a festival just before Orthodox Easter... and we always go and load up on them, and the various breads and sausages that vendors offer.

Tradition here has potato pierogis fried in butter with a little bit of onions.

You mean where the author, Andrew Gelman, "What I wanted to share today is a fascinating story from a magazine article about the affair, where the author, Joel Stein, 'Nearly all experts and celebrities use ghostwriters,' and then links to an amusing magazine article from 2009," and just completely skips over the verb?
You can, but it doesn't help when your next hand is exactly the same, or the opposite problem. There's been times I mulligan down to 1 card and see nothing but land the entire way through. Probably in the same match, the opponent mulligans down to 3 cards just to get 1 land.

It's bad enough that my friend group casually accepts having to "concede" 2 or 3 times just to get a decent match going.

There are tons of interoperability problems. Google put up this website a while back, before Apple announced they would support RCS interoperability with iMessage, that explains a lot of the broken experience: https://www.android.com/get-the-message/
I hate that I want this.
Every single person I message regularly uses iMessage. As far as I know none of them are “iPhone users” in the sense that they particularly care, they just use ‘the normal thing’ (which is iPhone).

So for the opposite question, I’ve never had the passing thought of missing out on what Android users do either.

I wonder if people just sort of mostly self select into mostly non-overlapping groups?
I've never gotten ads on Youtube with Firefox nor my Chromium-based browser. Maybe they didn't roll the adblocker-blocker out to everyone.
The End of Prompting: A Forecast on Generative AI
"Prompting today might be a little awkward and doomed to fade, but an element of it that I find positive is that it requires the user to think of something to say."
A does not ALWAYS lead to B, but if the area has a scarcity of housing, then it will.

Here's the basic logic in my head:

We'll say the total cost of available housing in an area is H. These investors now own 0.2H

They will then do one of 2 things:

Either put the housing back on the market for more than they paid (they are investors after all). We'll say they want to make P% profit. So the cost of the housing that was .2 * H is now .2 * H * (1 + P/100) = .2 * H + P * H / 5. So now the total cost of available housing has gone up, meaning that any housing difficulties are now worse.

The other alternative is even more bleak. The investors buy the housing, and then hold on to it (without renting it) in hopes of making something higher than P% at a future date. We now have 0-20% less housing on the market, which means that housing difficulties are now worse.

No matter how you slice it, injecting investors (i.e., middle men) into a scarce market will only ever increase cost or scarcity.

> You could even have a computer class where kids from the school would update their school's wiki page as a way to learn how to contribute to wikipedia. Might actually be the easiest type of page in the whole wiki to keep fresh now that I think about it, while creating a whole generation of interested editors.

This type of effort often creates a disproportionate amount of work for the volunteers maintaining Wikipedia.

If you feel that that would be a good thing to do, the school should stand up its own wiki about itself that students could update and maintain.

That also avoids possible conflict with the rules of Wikipedia.

I recall a school that attempted to do "ask a question on Stack Overflow" and all the students in the class asked the same question - nearly word for word - about their current assignment... that all then got closed as duplicates of each other.

If the goal is to introduce someone to the application platform, it is likely better to have them work in a private instance where the mentor to new user ratio is much higher and things like "you need to make sure that you are using proper and correct English with capitalization and punctuation," are not "revert and leave an impersonal comment on their talk page about the expected quality of their contributions."
Firefox doesn't give me issues while logged out. But I've been blocked whilst logged in. Usually a uBlock update is available or I clear my caches and that fixes it.

I like being logged in because I like to track what I've watched. So it's annoying to lose that when logging out. It'd be nice to have an extension that provides watch history independently of YouTube, so that I don't need to login.
Blocking it might be a cat-and-mouse thing that works with heuristics, which would of course be unreliable in both directions.
A few months ago we discussed the repulsive story of a UCLA USC professor who took full credit for a series of books that were ghostwritten, so much so that when it turned out that one of the books had “at least 95 separate passages” of plagiarism, including “long sections of a chapter on the cardiac health of giraffes.”

And then what? That's a subordinate clause, not a sentence. There's supposed to be a verb that tells us what happened.

Maybe this guy needs a better ghostwriter.

The new "Tom Clancy Command and Control" is by someone who almost gets Clancy's style right. But his work is still inferior to the actual books written by Tom Clancy, who's been dead for a decade.
Buenos Aires, Argentina

Pros:

- If you earn in Dollars a US or Europe wage, it's going to be a very cheap place for you.

- Amazing food, I couldn't live without Argentinian pizza or ice cream

- Truly the city that never sleeps; if you are hungry at 3AM you can probably find somewhere decent to eat (except maybe in more suburb/residential areas). Same if you want to go to a nightclub a Tuesday.

- Great and cheap public transportation 24/7

- The people in Argentina in my experience (I might be biased since I'm from Argentina) are much more laid back and friendly than anywhere else, it's probably easier to make friends here than in Europe or USA.

- Argentina is a *very* centralized country, it sucks if you live outside of Buenos Aires, but if you live here pretty much everything is in the city: tech conferences, concerts, universities, transport, anything bureaucratic or medical, etc. which means that you are pretty much 1 bus or subway away from any major event.

- I know many fellow Argentinians will disagree but Buenos Aires is probably one of the safest cities in Latin America, and it's pretty safe overall. In a more personal take, in around 4 years of living here I've never had any sort of issue not even with pickpocketing, and I sometimes walk home in the wee hours.

- Progressive and LGTB friendly.

- Weather is (usually) nice and it's not too cold, read the cons.

Cons:

- Whilst there is a tech scene, I don't think there are many interesting tech companies to work here, there are a few but not that many and they mostly are in the fintech industry or similar. If you want to work in Embedded, Systems, Biotech, etc. anything remotely "niche" you are going to have tough luck looking for a job set in Argentina, you can always remote to outside, if possible, obviously.

- I think it gets a bit too hot during the summer months specially these past few years, and it's not uncommon to have power outages during the summer.

- I don't think the city is very aesthetic, whilst there is some great architecture, sometimes garbage piles up in the streets, sometimes it floods when it rains, there's people living in the streets, etc. We are far from being the Netherlands.

- The usual political and economic instability that comes from living in Argentina; you won't suffer most of this if you earn in USD and you'll probably live like a king... but it's hard to ignore if you have family or friends going through tough times.

- The areas outside of Buenos Aires City are not that nice and not that safe, though if you move in car, uber or know where you're going you'll be okay. (I mean in the Greater Buenos Aires area, I'm not saying there aren't any other nice places in Argentina(.

Glad to take any questions!
