100% this. A guy I work with just rebuilt our CI/CD pipeline and we're spinning up a database and all dependent services in containers. There are no mocks and it works great.

That's worse an understanding of economics than I'd expect here. The fact that fruit of research and development is protected investment creates research jobs. Without patent protection, shareholders and executives would hire fewer people and overall progress would be slower.

> how do we know that random quantum processes are truly random?

If it looks like randomness and quacks like randomness, it's randomness, right? We've experimentally verified these things to dozens of decimal places. Asking whether it's "truly" randomness is meaningless without a measurable way to distinguish what's "truly" random or not.

This could be a local maxima. I'm not sure there is a reason (other than us having arrived at it, which does count for something) why blaming, and particularly hating/attributing evilness to people for performing a certain act while operating under an imagined agency is more effective than some alternative.

It's possible that there could be a means of dissuading others from the behaviour without that illusion/emotional baggage.

It could arrive at the same conclusion (incarceration, for example) but more compassionately. Does that matter? For the bigger picture arguably not, but for the human experience maybe.
If you do that, malicious writers will have bots buy their books, get the precious "verified review" badge (and bumping the book's ranking at the same time), and give the book raving reviews. At that point, it just becomes an expense, probably more efficient than buying an ad. In the meantime, legitimate readers whos didn't buy the book by themselves won't be able to comment on it.

It’s not the ATCs job to get the plane down at the primary airport, on the pilot’s preferred schedule, in accordance with the airline’s policy of using ILS for landing at SFO at night. Any two would be a satisfactory outcome, and it sounds like the pilot could in fact have picked any two (well, it sounds like Lufthansa policy prohibited just getting in the VFR queue). Nobody was ever in danger and the worst case scenario was that the plane lands at Oakland, which was always a possibility from the moment they took off. If landing at Oakland is such a disaster Lufthansa could have canceled the flight once it became clear that they were running 3 hours late, had missed their originally planned slot, and would be landing at night.
Probably, the idea that the GPU handles the "hot neurons" means that if your GPU is strong enough to handle _enough_ hot neurons, you should expect speedups.
At high school (in the 1.44mb / w95 era) I encountered a floppy disk that had literally two different filesystems on it depending on what machine you read it in. Not entirely sure how that worked. One machine showed one filesystem, the rest showed another.

I guess the alignment on that one particular drive must have been ridiculously far off baseline.

JetBrains isn't even VC funded, they're a privately owned and profitable company. Comparing them to Microsoft without addressing this feels disengenous.

> an't see the downsides if a critical mass of users accept the changes.

I mean, I think it's ridiculous to go "look at how JetBrains is changing" in a thread where everyone has misunderstood a minor bug that in no way indicates that JetBrains is changing. They're adding services, wow how awful.

> Except Jetbrains is about to get their first taste of what it's like to have some of their customers dependent on a feature that isn't available locally.

No one depends on this. Your IDE starts up fine without it. You don't need it. You can use a competing plugin (they already exist) that runs locally or in some other service.

I think it would be a ridiculous move for them to completely change their core business model to be exclusively service oriented, yes.
I prefer the glass half full view of possibility is all. No one has 100% certainty that life exists elsewhere, but its certainly higher than 0% certainty.

For me this is nothing but a mental perspective. Historically we trended toward a very strict heliocentric view of the known universe, to the point that evidence was ignored. I would like to stay away from that side of scientific curiosity and keep wondering and exploring. It doesn't negate what you're saying at all, but its certainly more optimistic.
You used to get the same phenomena in broadsheets before that though. I saw it frequently in the Sunday (maybe Saturday?) magazine included in the big UK papers.

I remember coming to the realization when reading a fluff piece that the author had basically interviewed their mates and made it a story. I think the specific article was about marrying later, and they'd just interviewed a bunch of uni-educated people of a certain socio-economic wealth. No stats, no experts, just 'gut' feeling about what was happening. And once you saw it, you realized a significant chunk of the non-news stories were like that. This was in the 90s/00s.

I think a lot of lifestyle articles have been that way for a long time, pre-internet, it's just that the lifestyle articles are more prominent now.

While that's true, you said mobile Android "can do less damage".

Well, it does save money…just not necessarily due to hardware cost differences.
This is a great question, and if the choice is between mysql and postgres, I would like to make the case that despite the current popular momentum behind postgres, mysql is a better default. Please note I'm not saying mysql is better, but in the absence of any other criteria, I would suggest stating with mysql.

I have a few reasons for this view, but they mostly revolve around operational complexity. From a developer's point of view postgres is fantastic. Far saner SQL dialect, tons of great features. When it comes to operations though, that's where mysql has the edge, and ops is half of using a database - it's an important facet for a business to consider.

As other commenters have mentioned, postgres requires careful tuning of the autovacuum process, otherwise it can't keep up as the workload grows.

Postgres has a far more advanced query planner, but it comes at the cost of potentially blowing up your app at 3am, and it gives you no tools to patch in a quick fix while you address the root cause. This frankly ignores the reality of operating a business. Sometimes you need a quick fix, even if that might lead to users developing bad habits. Yes there is the pg_hint_plan extension, but that still only helps you later after the problem had happened. You can't pin a query plan. To me the ideal situation would be for postgres to continue to use the old query plan, but emit some structured log to tell you it thinks it's now suboptimal. But I digress.

Thirdly, postgres has no way to have an index clustered table. This lets you trade a small cost on write for greater page locality when reading related rows. Postgres let's you do this as a one time operation that takes the table offline for the duration, which isn't sufficient if you need it.

Fourthly, mysql is still easier to upgrade. You will need to upgrade your database at some point. Mysql has great support for upgrade in place, as well as using replication to build a new db. Mysql replication has always been logical replication, which has tradeoffs of course, but what it buys you is the ability to replicate across different versions. Pg's logical replication still has a bunch of sharp edges.

Ok this rant is long enough already, but I do want to emphasise that this isn't hating on postgres. I know it's controversial to be recommending mysql over postgres, but I do think the ops concerns win out.

Ps the orioledb project is fantastic and I hope it one day becomes the default for postgres.

That is why I used the qualifier "significant" as in enough to influence prices. What percentage of SFH sold are bought by PE each year? What percent of homes are held by PE? I would be surprised if either one is even in the high single digits.

I can definitely see Airbnb or foreign buyers being a factor in some local markets. In both these cases, the operational aspect of home ownership is less of an issue since the ownership is diffuse.

The results look very impressive. The prompting however, is a bit weird - there's suspiciously many samples with an "8k"-suffix, presumably to get more photorealistic results?

> Not sure I agree with the "go ahead", it should never be ambiguous who's turn it is.

Legally it may not be ambiguous but in reality some drivers don't remember they have the right-of-way and you have to remind them, otherwise it becomes a stalemate. Also sometimes you have the right-of-way but you want to yield it because, e.g. you need more time to process the situation (is that a small animal in the road? do I need to turn left here instead?) or you simply want to be a good Samaritan (let that pedestrian cross even though they are technically jaywalking).

I always drive with headlights on, and my way of yielding (or simply telling the other car or person to go ahead) is to flash my headlights a couple of times.

I have been thinking about this. Definitely not a Physicist or even a Scientist, but how do we figure out the world that the simulation occurs?

I think one lead we can have is that simulations are called simulations because they try to emulate the real world (the one simulations are running). By observing from inside the simulation what kind of input and reaction the "God" people has when we output something, we might be able to understand the "real" world better. It's like the "people" in the Sims game -- given they are of their own mind, they can figure out some rules of our world.

But then how can we jump out of simulation to really really figure it out?

Arguing that we shouldn’t deploy sandboxing because it’s not widely used seems counterproductive, and a recipe for not catching up with macOS or even Windows.

It's a value that belongs as a member of the Object data type (Object(it)===it), but it's not (in addition) an instance of the Object constructor (!(it instanceof Object)). I guess the former, wider sense of 'an object' is more often intended.
I don't know what normally is, but I'd say it works pretty well.

Often the challenge is that the context for what you're trying to do is sprawling. There's just too many files and they're all too long: you end up exceeding the context window or filling it with 99% irrelevant stuff. Typically the structures you build for tests are smaller and more focused on the particular instance you're worried about, which I think is a better way to talk to an LLVM.

You don't have to explain, for instance, that there's data in production which doesn't match the schema in the code so it must be cautious to avoid running afoul of that difference. Instead you've mocked that data, so it's right there in the same code with the test that it's trying to make pass.
This interpretation is very interesting to me. Do you know of any other philosophical or scientific research into the relationship between computational complexity / reducibility and free will?

"8k HD" was a prompt engineering trick from the VQGAN + CLIP and Stable Diffusion 1.X era, since they did indeed have an impact in getting photorealism as CLIP's text encoder is funny like that.
