I have flown on 737 MAX aircraft several times and lived to tell my story. I'm currently looking for a writer to help me with my autobiography describing my flying experience, and hoping for a movie deal while this still has some legs as a news item. In the meantime I'm happy to talk about it -- AMA.
we're truly living in a dystopian hell.
Sure, no problem. For something like flying, which to a layperson appears really chaotic and uncertain, I rely on statistics. So I spend more time making sure my trip to the airport is safe than I do worrying about the flight.

It also helps (or hurts, depending on your perspective) that I spend enough time perusing AVHerald to appreciate that planes break fairly routinely, and Airbus planes are as well represented as Boeing. Crashes are exceedingly rare.
Stumbled across this coffee terroir blog, even discusses some strains referenced in the paper (Timor).

Hard agree with this take. Also, a good PM should be technical enough to really understand not just how customers use the product but how the product works. you should be able to be the designated person to answer a question from customers when nobody else knows the answer. In my role as a PM, I'm usually the person the buck stops with for Sales, Support, Solutions Engineering, et al. You can't do that if you don't actually know how anything works, which I see way too much with other PMs in this industry.
The fact that we pull metrics (for hiring) from the scientific record causes the publish-or-perish problem, so I’m not sure I see a disagreement here.
That looks very interesting. Thanks
Sounds like "terrain" or one of the lesser used definitions of the word "territory". I think "terra" means land in Latin.
That's not relevant here, it doesn't affect the customer service; what does 'actually came from them' mean in the context of who is the seller in the transaction?

If somebody put something bad into the supposed-to-be-fungible warehouse pool, and I'm the unlucky recipient, then that's one example of where the better customer service comes into play.

If you buy sold by BESTWAREZ-FOR-U and despatched by Amazon, then you get it shipped from the same pool but crapper service when you get the same amount of unluck and receive the dodgy one. (And if it's despatched by them and you've not heard of them before, even crapper, and it probably won't take nearly as much unluck for it to pan out poorly in the first place.)
So “AI” is the problem and not poor police processes and lack of oversight in crowded jails. Got it.
It's a good point about paranoia, the random Chinese guys don't give a shit about you, you're generally insignificant. To your own government you are slightly insignificant but they may take more of an interest.

Well, it is great, just not great for you. :-) It's a low code environment built to allow non-developers to develop! It is undoubtedly great for many, many people.

BTW, my Scheme for Max extension does run in the timing thread, if you want to write sequencing code in Max. I basically did the same thing they did with JS (lock it to one thread) but let the user choose the thread and let the user control when the GC runs. It works suprisingly well for sequencing - locks in with Live completely if you trigger things with plugsync~
Thanks for the words. Maybe it's about the whole experience that I got in the beginning of career that several experienced folks told me "See, learn Python/Ruby 'cause it has more jobs available and pay more". It was true on my demographic at that time.

Along the time I was not exposed to those "low level" languages and it had the effect that I never had that perception. That's why I felt that my experience was subpar: In a point in time, I was living in a complete different epistemic universe even being on the technology.
I was just making it clear that the OS policy pervades. That is, the developers of CPython or another execution context need to care about it, and so it informs some of the implementation details that may leak into programs. We agree that Python presents an abstraction so that Python programmers (usually) don't have to see this.
I have read a few of these and enjoyed them greatly. Reading them you realise that Euler really did invent a huge swathe of mathematics in use today.

In particular I read this one: http://eulerarchive.maa.org/hedi/HEDI-2009-02.pdf

And I realised that Euler had found two formulae for Pi which can be used to calculate any hex digit of Pi.

I wrote this up in a paper:

"In 1779 Euler discovered two formulas for π which can be used to calculate
any binary digit of π without calculating the previous digits. Up until now
it was believed that the first formula with the correct properties (known as
a BBP-type formula) for this calculation was published by Bailey, Borwein
and Plouffe in 1997."

Is it only that adapater or are you power cycling on both ends?

Too much work dragging / cable management in my current setup.

I'm looking to remote stream / remote play my desktop to living room and bed room TV. From what I'm reading, it feels smoother even when there's more latency. But power cycling multiple adapters would be a issue though.
Same here, fitz is great, it does well enough out of the box that I can apply some simple heuristics for things like joining/splitting paragraphs where it makes a mistake and extract drawings and such and get pretty close to 100% accuracy on the output.

The only thing it doesn't do is tables detection (neither does pdfminer.six), but there are plenty of other ways to handle them.
Fully agree. Unfortunately, most people won’t even start to process it until it happens to them. Even if not “wrongly”, being jailed for a minor paperwork issue is scarring enough that I am hypervigilant about cops to this day, nearly a decade after my personal experience with the law.
We humans are not very good at risk assessment. Realistically, flying in a 737 MAX is nowhere near as dangerous as making a left turn in a car (in the USA). Yet many of us do that every day without a second thought.

That being said, one underrated health risk is stress. If it alleviates your stress to avoid a particular air frame, you may be preserving your health by eliminating a burdensome worry.
I think the actual lesson here is to use a real database, on a server. Counting 200K rows, even with long keys, takes less than a millisecond on a low-end MySQL instance.
I agree. One thing that is pretty depressing to anyone that spends time in grad school or in academia is that universities and colleges put barely any importance on a professor/scholar's teaching ability. Education is simply not the main focus at all. Instead, they view scholars as research machines. Rather than giving research and scholarly inquiry the time and patience it requires (a lot), they would have published research occur like clockwork and in many cases regardless of the quality of that published research. This looks better for the school; but leads to middling research at best and often shady stuff by harried researchers, and a subpar teaching experience for most students who are always second fiddle to the endless demands to publish. The school benefits (per se, they don't like getting caught in scandals of their own making, of course), while researchers and students get subpar experiences all around.

I don't disagree with your point, but this is a false premise.
I really don't understand the point of shortcuts where this is the result.

I'm a really big fan of clear and legible code. I'm not at In-n-Out with a secret menu. I'm trying to make changes/updates to code someone else wrote. I don't care how clever they felt they were by using esoteric shortcuts that might make things short and fit on one line. I want to be able to read the code and follow what it does in the least amount of time. Now, if the compiler makes different/better decisions when reading something like that vs much more legible code, we can maybe have a discussion.
That’s not quite the correct quote.

Servo had a period where it had no active backing, but now it's part of the Linux Foundation and seems to have more buzz around it.

I am sure there will never be the conclusion that AOT is always better or that JIT is always better. E.g. JIT has a large advantage in long running applications that run at different customers with very different configurations. The scenarios where AOT has an advantage are well known, so I won't iterate them.
For me the school system was like that.

Sometimes I think that every square inch within jail/prison buildings should be constantly under video recording so that if any rape occurs, there can be no question as to whether it occurred, so that the rapist can be executed with no risk of a false conviction.

That’s probably not actually a sound policy, but, I think it is important to bring the average number of prison rapes per year to basically zero, very quickly, and this is the first thing I think of towards that goal.

... I suppose even with plenty of footage there may be the possibility of erring in determining whether it was consensual?
Also, refrigeration and trucking across long distances. Even some of the heaviest industrial fruit/veggies might still have some semblance of terroir if eaten local to the industrial farm. Most modern grocery stores have bought into the idea of presenting the illusion of a "year-round bounty" in their produce departments and prioritize long distance shipped reliable year-round produce over local and seasonal options (leaving those to things like farmers markets and CSAs).
Some governments will contract with companies to obtain data, or even subpoena the data directly. There are checks and balances. Generally the system and the people behind it are trustworthy and reliabily act from principles over partisanship or economic concerns. Furthermore, we can generally trust that will always be the case; in addition to established political norms and precedents. So I agree there is nothing to worry about.
I think what matters here is intent.

If I posted a video of the CEO of united, in a drag, at a public event, and I was subject to a non disparage contract with United, im not so sure I would be fine even though all I did is post an act, with no commentary, that was public.

IANAL so I suppose it would be up for a judge to determine my intent. If the stock price drops and the CEO gets fired, do I walk away scot free?

the problem comes from scientometrics. you have to pump up your numbers as a researcher if you ever want to get that grant, or that promotion or that tenure position.

there was a time when there were far less journals and articles published per year. people spent a lot more time on an article and it shows. read an article today and you are left with nothing. back in the day (and by that I mean before about 2010) you had everything you needed to understand the subject and form your ideas. today is about tonnes of references (and not the useful kind either!) and inventing catchy acronyms.

but now that scientometrics is so important everyone is chasing the numbers and not the quality. you need that high impact factor up, that h-index, the influence score and the citations up. and since you have no chance to spend more time to increase the quality of your article, the next best thing is to increase the quantity you push into the grind. these predatory publications are precisely the answer to this artificially increased demand. yet people continue to be surprised.

think about it for a second: consider how many PhDs are awarded each year, they have to go somewhere and most of them want to go up. hence the increased demand. PhD courses are a huge business for universities, and this business drives the publishing industry. mix into this the fact that in academia, you have to change your research subject about every three years to keep it real for the grant masters with the big project money, you get to this disaster today.

try to build a bibliography today on a new subject and you will find tonnes of articles and then try to find the ones where you can actually understand where the science on that subject is at.

i don't know what the solution is, but counting scienctometric indices is not it.

There’s probably a healthy balance somewhere between this and the PyPI approach. But I will say, R (including most CRAN libraries) is a dream to use for data analysis, whereas Python is an exercise in frustration. CRAN libraries are idiomatic, work without fuss, and feel like a cohesive ecosystem. In my experience, working with too many Python packages feels like holding an airplane together with tape.

> That might be true of C++, but I don't think its true in Rust

And which was exactly my point.

> both Scylla and Redpanda, two high performance C++ databases both use shared_ptr

Such argument doesn't make sense since you will find usage of shared-ptrs in probably more or less every high performance C++ codebase out there. The secrete sauce is to know _where_ and _when_ to use it. I'm not against it but I'm definitely not in favor of language forcing me to user it when I don't need it.
The C standard does not allow it. It’s simply undefined behavior under the standard, and all bets are off as far as C is concerned.

But of course an implementation is free to define additional behaviors beyond the C specification. That’s done all the time. But that’s really a “flavor” of C and not pure “vanilla” C.

Have there been any research on how power actors infiltrate hierarchies? I have only seen a CIA manual on sabotagong meetings [1].

I have previously been at small companies with former FAANG employees, and they get fortified. They set well defined roles of soldiers and spies that will do everything to twist your arm, if you don't comply they'll push you out. These, in principle non-illegal, shadow hierarchies become the actual rulers of company as they control information flow to management, and they tend to keep the __harmony__.

Most of news media seems to be under control, with media on sync with goverment's tune.

Scientific journals requiring bribes means they haven't been infiltrated enough, but that will happen, there is a perverse interest in place. When we find there is no more disagreement, we will know the shadow hierarchy is doing its work.

As far as I see it, all advertisements are scams of some form, intending to persuade (or con) you into doing or buying something you probably don't want to. By nature their sole intent is to extract dollars from you in whatever way they can, so how is that ever going to end well on the receiving end?

The paper itself goes into some more detail on that - the genetic diversity is found in the organization of the units among the chromosomes, while the units themselves (e.g. caffeine biosynthesis genes etc. are identical). This results in variations in gene expression levels, which alone is apparently enough to produce distinct varietals.

> "While none of the different chromosomal aberrations we have identified is introducing new sequence variants, they are all capable of altering gene dosage between homoeologs and also total gene dosage in the case of aneuploidies, deletions and duplications. These changes in gene copy number may result in expression differences and this in turn may result in significant phenotypic variation, as shown by aneuploid somaclonal variants that frequently originate from tissue culture and somatic embryogenesis. The genomic rearrangements may therefore represent an important source of genetic diversity that is continuously replenishing the very limited nucleotide diversity available within the species."

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-44449-8

I suppose the takeaway is that using functional gene sequences alone (a common approach in the pre-whole-genome sequenceing era) to determine genetic similarity misses a lot of important information.
