Four years ago I heard "Kafka IS your database".

I thought maybe these insane people (probably parroting some tech company enterprise penetration propaganda e.g. Confluent) would have a better story, but... no.

Anyway, yeah, sure, keep logs. But a lot of that article about commands and events is something that only exists if you had one ubiquitous language, system, and OS. You know, the almost literal "seamless" where there aren't any seams.

Sure that will probably plug into some enterprise bus and enterprise integration and enterprise ... anyway.

Competent developers will understand what events to preserve and log and possibly allow retry/repeats.

Anyone who has looked at a Splunk bill will realize that just storing all the logs everywhere is very expensive, which is another way of saying "wasteful". But any generic enterprisey event system will basically start and end with splunk-level log aggregation and kinda-analysis.

It's a hard reality, but imagine you are the one re-capitalizing this venture. They have a team, no customer, no product, but a new idea they want to pursue. There are a lot of early teams with ideas in search of money that you could invest in. This particular team comes with 10% dead weight on the cap table, which essentially means everyone else is getting diluted out of the gate, by someone that will bring no future value.

That makes this investment worse than anything else you could invest in, by a factor of that non active founder.

There is always hustlers, but the current web of AI is undeniable.

I'm a ML Engineer and for the past few months I'm getting as much activity in LinkedIn as at the cusp of 2022 job market. In the startup space, I see 2 major trends:

1. Startups with the mission to solve problem X using AI.

2. Startups that solve problem X, but now are pivoting to AI.

The funniest case was this startup that was hiring for their founding ML team, and the recruiter simply couldn't tell me what this team was supposed to do.

I'm pretty sure finance is what has driven up the costs of a typical car. Parkers (the car valuation people) had an article recently that showed the median price of a car has gone up by twice the rate of inflation over the last 50 years. The price has tracked earnings which tends to indicate people will buy as much car as they can afford.

IANAL, but I would guess it depends on whether the animal is an "employee" of the company. Obviously there are animals that are owned by companies and, if they create something, the company I assume would own it whether or not it was considered a work for hire in the usual sense. But that would presumably not have been the case here.
> What if you investigate why the fence is there and find nothing or a list of contradictory or nonsensical reasons? This is incredibly common in real life.

Congratulations, you can now opt to remove the fence. This is also discussed in the article.

Chesterton's fence is philosophical, and as always, there will be a value proposition to consider. E.g. building a new beltway that would connect two previously unconnected cities or developing trade routes completely overrides the value that a fence being used to keep wildlife away.

I guess the problem then is that you end up with one copy of Swift installed per Swift version that's ever released more or less, which doesn't seem ideal from a space perspective.
There are negative externalities with any mining, especially as it's often done in developing countries with poor labor protection. However if you are serious about it you should strive to improve the condition of mining workers, as opposed to forgoing it in favor of pumping oil.
It's similar to Xmage, but with heavy leaning into PVE.

There are around a dozen original modes to play against AI opponents: Adventure (à la Shandalar 1997), Quest, Planar Conquest, Gauntlet, Puzzles. Plus practically every somewhat popular format, including digital-only: Momir from Shandalar, Drafts, Sealed, Cube, Commander, Oathbreaker, Brawl, Archenemy, etc. etc.

There's a way to setup online multiplayer games, but no hubs or rooms like in Xmage. It's also somewhat under-utilised feature and therefore not so well supported.

I haven't actually tried cockatrice, but I believe it's more like a tabletop simulator, e.g. you have to shuffle, draw, and play the game almost manually?
Forge is completely automatic like Xmage, Shandalar and Magic Online. It also could be a fun way to learn the rules of the game.

Double quotes because of the back ticks
A few months ago, my GitHub Actions iOS pipelines were failing ~50% of the time a few minutes into the run because half the MacOS runners didn't yet have XCode 15.01. At $0.16/minute, those pipeline failures cost me a lot of money. And I fully expect that sort of thing to happen again, because the executives making decisions about GitHub Actions seem to be taking their inspiration from the leaning tower of Pisa.
I doubt the conclusion Chesterton wanted anyone to draw was "consider carefully before breaking down a wall, but build all the walls you want without due diligence". The original context of the quote was an essay about reform. This is ultimately a thesis about conservatism in the old school sense. I think he wants you to think hard about the reasons for doing anything. I also don't think he'd refuse to tear down a wall if it presented an urgent threat—metaphorical wall or not. He's not a wall maximizing AI.

And, fortunately, I think you're the only one I've heard of who has interpret it in this other, interesting way.
Wrong approach. We should change our numbering system to base-12 instead.
Not enough to fix the issue.
The way I see it, either your business domain requires querying over a large amount of data, or it doesn't.

If an application allows someone to be able to enter let's say an order number from anywhere in the world from the last 10 years and be able to find the order, there is no magic - some server out there is going to have to scan a huge amount of data to find a match.

Tricks such as indexes, partitioned tables, etc can be employed, but those tricks have nothing to do with event-sourcing and are independent of it.
I reverse engineered unofficial API used by bike share website web pages to display maps and I just retrieve few JSONs and display sections for stations relevant to me and my location in a color coded form. I also do some regular trips so I hardcoded the rules to pick up destination right into an app.
This is a fantastic resource, actually.
This in no way contradicts Chesterton's point, in fact he explicitly brings it up. He is not calling for an end to fence demolition, he is rather calling for common sense investigation into why the fence is there.
Morality and legality are the only relevant questions in the discussion. The two methods are virtually the same... in fact I'd argue that ByteDance's usage is more fair and moral. It really doesn't matter than it's cheaper and more efficient.
I wish you would share some of your thoughts.
Fences don’t maintain themselves, and I don’t think we should give either side a pass. The town should have a general tradition of tearing down unjustified fences and keeping documentation for the justification of fences. It shouldn’t be assumed there was a good reason, the party installing the fence should have presented an argument for the fence in the first place.

Chesterton’s argument is that we should assume there was a reason in the absence of an argument for the fence. This is only the case if there’s a proliferation of necessary, unjustified fences. We should not let that sort of situation emerge in the first place.
"It is the ultimate thought terminating cliche."

This is a straw man. The fence is simply an excuse to think a bit more deeply.
I think you’re forgetting about apple’s frameworks, and the fact that _they_ want to use Swift. Their code runs inside your address space, and I think you’ll need a more complicated scheme to solve those problems.
The only reason I remembered was because I was a big fan of Palm WebOS and when HP bought it, there was a brief moment where I thought, "Wow HP is really going to have a go at this and try to become like the old HP." Then Hurd left and the new guy (former SAP exec I think?) axed the whole thing. What an absolute waste all that was. I felt like if RIM or Nokia had acquired Palm it would have had a reasonable shot.
Interesting to see that capitalism is inherently inefficient. Freely sharing a trained model would be the most efficient and beneficial to progress, but the investment in training was done by private company to turn profits. In this light the wasted energy of cryptocurrency is just another inefficiency.
I think at this point we have little choice but to live in denial. I’ve lived in South Texas my entire life, but this summer was the most brutal one I’ve ever seen. Hit new highs in actual temperature and heat index of course, but it was just the months-long unrelenting nature of it that hurt my soul. I’ve never seen so many dead trees and so many dead animals on the street. My co-workers well failed as did many of his neighbors.

What am I supposed to do about any of that? How am I supposed to believe in the future if this is still the early days of climate change with who knows what new horrors to come in a decade or two?

And so we go on because what else can we do? Mostly I’m just glad I never wanted to have children because I can’t imagine what it is like for them as they grow up and realize what awaits them.
I would be surprised if this is the case. Neural scaling laws are well known and are used by all big industry players to extrapolate experiments.
>Buying new is more expensive, but it's cheaper in the long run with the time and money I did not have to waste on unexpected upkeep.

It depends. We tend to buy three year old cars and on the whole they have all the niggles resolved by then. After that they don't start having problems until at least 100,000 miles. So we pay half the price for no extra aggravation.
Yes, the Substack author and this post have greatly exaggerated the article. The actual data is that some fruits and vegetables have 50% less Sodium, Iron, and Copper in them than before. (Also a 10% decrease in Magnesium). That's interesting but a far cry from "nutritional value has dropped by 50%".
The inverse of “premature optimization is the root of all evil” is “all bad performance is the result of sub-optimal implementation”.
I fully agree about the potential for bad faith interpretations of Chesterson’s fence, and I’ve encountered them a lot.

But regarding edge cases, I’ve come to see that type of person in a different light. The way I see it, edge cases pressure test the design. Some edge cases we just don’t care about, and when someone raises them, we put them on a published list of non-goals. This acknowledges that they exist and shuts down future naysayers. But sometimes an edge case ends up mattering a lot; enough to change the direction of the design. And for that reason, I welcome the edge case hunters. If managed, it becomes a valuable source of feedback and strengthens the overall design.

But to your point, this type of individual can sidetrack the team if not managed. Having processes in place and tactics to incorporate the concern without getting stuck on it is critical, and not always easy.

In this regard, I think it’s a bit different than the fence. The fence is a barrier that already exists, while the pessimistic edge case finder is trying to build fences that don’t yet exist.
I have been in conversations with someone who wants to do something just like this. I shared with him this recent paper that suggests LSTM can produce better returns than the market. (https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/for.3021?af=R) . He will need simulation/back-testing system. Will yours be Cloud / Self-hosted / Open-source / Subscription based ?
And a sense of humor?
>Yes. Further steps have been done. Its the difference between copywriting the idea for a book, and copywriting an actual book.

Only if by "idea for a book" you mean "comprehensive description sufficient to exactly reproduce the book".

>It's an issue with the current incarnation of software patents.

No, it's an issue with the patent office's current process for approving patents.

>In the real world an IC car can rightfully be criticised for being bad for the environment.

Yes, but that doesn't mean a car is worse than a truck.
I recently built a Swift app for the first time, and I was so pleasantly surprised. It's really easy to pick up, I also did zero styling or performance optimizations and it's pretty and fast.

My only regret was not using SwiftData (since it was only released with IOS 17), CoreData is not that nice.
The license restricts you to only virtualize macOS on Mac hardware, and only 2 VMs per physical machine.
Most of them look exactly like the ICE versions of the same maker. Can you give example of EVs that you don't like, and the ICE vehicles that you like?
You are right, but I have not mentioned this detail because it is common for all kinds of locks and I wanted to point out which are the important differences between them, not to give an exhaustive description of a spin lock algorithm.

Releasing a lock must be done with a release barrier followed by an atomic store.

On ISAs that do not have release barriers, a full memory barrier is required instead.

All x86 stores include an implicit release barrier and the 64-bit Armv8 and Armv9 CPUs have store-release instructions that include an implicit release barrier, so on such CPUs an explicit release barrier is not needed.
I thought the additional colors looked pretty modern on Tux. How would you change our favorite penguin?

Nobody eats carrots for sodium and copper. That's like saying you only use your computer for the floppy disk.
If you repeatedly harvest crops from soil without working on building it, this is what happens. Each crop progressively removes some nutrients from the soil with the result that the soil nutrients, and nutrients in the derived food gradually decay. Most petroleum/chemically derived fertilizers do not replace such. It is a known phenomena organic farming circles. Organizations like Rodale institute are working to correct this my improving soil health - but in general we’re been on a long program of “withdrawing money from the bank account without paying in”.
Easiest solution, if someones eats meat, is to eat a bit of organ meat regulary. Women need more iron in general due to their cycle. In general Iron from plants is also absorbed less.
2c: if you need PostgreSQL elsewhere in your app anyway, then store your event data in PostgreSQL + FOSS reporting tools (apache superset, metabase, etc) until you hit ~2TB. After that, decide if you need 2TB online or just need daily/hourly summaries - if so, stick with PostgreSQL forever[1]. I have one client with 10TB+ and 1500 events per sec @ 600 bytes/rec (80GB/day before indexing), 2 days of detail online and the rest summarized and details moved to S3 where they can still query via Athena SQL[2]. They're paying <$2K for everything, including a reporting portal for their clients. AWS RDS multi-AZ with auto-failover (db.m7g.2xlarge) serving both inserts and reporting queries at <2% load. One engineer spends <5 hours per MONTH maintaining everything, in part because the business team builds their own charts/graphs.

Sure, with proprietary tools you get a dozen charts "out of the box" but with pgsql, your data is one place, there's one system to learn, one system to keep online/replicate/backup/restore, one system to secure, one system to scale, one vendor (vendor-equivalent) to manage and millions of engineers who know the system. Building a dozen charts takes an hour in systems like preset or metabase, and non-technical people can do it.

Note: I'm biased, but over 2 decades I've seen databases and reporting systems come & go, and good ol' PostgreSQL just gets better every year.

https://instances.vantage.sh/aws/rds/db.m7g.2xlarge?region=u...

[1] if you really need, there's PostgreSQL-compatible systems for additional scaling: Aurora for another 3-5x scaling, TimescaleDB for 10x, CitusDB for 10x+. With each, there's tradeoffs for being slightly-non-standard and thus I don't recommend using them until you really need.

[2] customer reporting dashboards require sub-second response, which is provided by PostgreSQL queries to indexed summary tables; Athena delivers in 1-2 sec via parallel scans.
Common Literary Devices: Definitions, Examples, and Exercises
“Content” requires as much, if not more, effort and expense than pretraining GPT-4.

All you’re doing is redefining content, ie thoughts, ideas, movies, videos, literature, sounds, writing, etc as “raw data”. But that isn’t raw data. There was a ton of effort that went into creating the “content”. For example, a single Wikipedia page may have many hundreds of people, some who have done years of college level studies and original research, to produce a few thousand words of content. Others have done research using primary sources. All of them have had to use effort and ingenuity to craft those into actual high quality statements, which in itself was only possible in many cases due to years of training and education. Finally, they had to setup a validation process to produce useful output from this collaborative process which included loads of arguments etc to generate what you are calling “raw data”.

I’m not sure what makes GPT’s output is any less raw than all the effort that went into producing a single Wikipedia page? Further, Wikipedia actually goes out of its way to cite its sources. GPT is designed to go out of its way to obscure its sources.

The only thing GPT does, IOW, that apparently makes the data it uses is not to cite its sources, something that would at the very least lead to professional disgrace for the people who created the “raw data” GPT uses without thought, and would even lead to lawsuits and prosecution in many cases.

So besides going out of its way to obscure the source of its data, what makes GPT’s output less raw than the output people have spent billions of man hours creating?
How intentionally vague.
The UK could move the whole fleet to electric and our overall demand would only go back to 2002 levels.

Yeah, right now for auth, if you want to use e.g. OIDC I think the best you can do is to essentially shove everything in the square hole using very short-lived SSH certificates and OOB auth flow; e.g. "open this browser link to get a cert for the next 15 minutes/24 hours." So, you're basically treating short-lived certs like session tokens, more or less. I got this working with my own homegrown SSH CA infrastructure last year, but never took it out of prototype stage. Even slightly more flexible authentication would be very welcome.
It’s also not standard practice since the beginning of the internet. Referencing original input through links is almost foundational to the internet (at least the original internet).

In fact, the power of linking to data sources is what Google is almost entirely built upon.
That's ludicrous.

The "nutritional content" is the part of the food that your body can make use of.

Mostly carbs, proteins, etc.

The trace minerals are essential, but hardly central.

Even if the definition of 'nutrition' is just those trace minerals (because somehow all the carbs, proteins, and everything else are 'free'), the article grossly exaggerates.

And given the whole shtick of this blog is 'using science to make sense of society', it's a poor show.
Isn’t it necessary for oauth?
That's a good point, but it doesn't seem to be affected by the us crops as much as other factors. Low iron is probably from low meat intake, Indian politicians had to fight strict vegetarians over giving developing children a SINGLE egg a day to eat over all vegetables.

If you were sustaining yourself from vegetables even if they had 1950s and before iron, I doubt it would positively affect anemia.
