i seem to have been throughly wrong about the three gorges dam. But i think you also have misunderstood the scenario i was imagining. I was actually entirely unaware of there being a meme about the thing collapsing on its own. I was strictly referring to its viability as a strategic target for infrastructure terrorism if that’s the term to use here. I was imagining a scenario where the US is going to town in support of TW, as has been theorized by just about every media pundit in existence right now. I may be wrong about the state’s willingness to commit war crimes, but i just watched IDF, dressed up as civilians, sneaking into a hospital to shoot unarmed patients, alleged to be Hamas members. Or the lack of care over Gaza being white phosphorous'd.

But, as it seems, i vastly underestimated the effort needed to cause my theorized catastrophe. I’m entirely open to admit being wrong about that, always good to learn.

Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but afaik, the viability of nuclear plants as strategic targets has been vastly overblown. I’ll go read up on it, but i don’t think it’s that big of a risk.

Thank you for posting! We have a rust application that we compile to wasm and run. (there's no way to run it by compiling to native code.) We have tests that compile our code to wasm and run them in our execution environment. We want to get code coverage set up for our tests, but we had no idea how to do that in our environment.

This article suggests a way to have code coverage probes automatically added to various locations in our source. I think I would also need some way to read coverage information from the rust program itself, which seems straightforward. But I wonder if anyone knows if this has already been done? I know about the llvm-based coverage reports, but I don't know if they can easily be adapted to this purpose

I find that comparison interesting, because I don't think of Airflow as particularly data-oriented in terms of its features and core functionality. I tend to think of Airflow as "Cron + Make", with any "data-oriented" features being nice to have, but not essential.

I'm substantially less familiar with Dagster and Prefect so can't comment as much on those.

Maybe the most data-oriented thing about Airflow is its concept of a data interval, where each DAG run is associated with some "logical date" and an interval of time that starts from the logical date (inclusive) and ends at the next logical date in the schedule (exclusive). The idea is that if you have a daily task that runs at 1 AM, then the task is expected to operate on data starting from "yesterday at 1 AM" until "today at 1 AM". But it's entirely up to the user/developer what you actually do with those logical date ranges, and you're free to ignore them entirely if you don't need them.
Yes the carrier sucks but the differences between normal SIMs and eSIMs enabled them to make this policy for transfers.

The reason I originally replied is because you said "it's not like eSIMs created or enabled that policy".

Even as a single policy, it affects a lot more situations now. eSIM enabled a big expansion of scope. And "different size SIM or if a SIM was broken" is significantly rarer than changing phones.

Thank you for your feedback. Do you have any addiction? If you had an addiction you would know that in the moment you have an urge, especially if your loved ones are next to you sleeping, you definitely don't want to call an hotline, make noise, let everyone hear it and feel embarassed with yourself.
Good point on structuring internal knowledge holdings to enable PageRank. The organizations I've worked in seem to put zero thought into this and instead just leave it up to individuals.

Nice classification of graph dataset size. I just think that XXL is the wrong size for a 1Tb dataset. Datasets like wikidata, UniProt, omabrowser etc. as a graph are really not XXL when decently funded (i.e. if they could afford the memgraph cloud pricing). I would have shifted them so that medium would be XS and then continue to the 1 trillion edges+nodes to get to the XXL size.
True, but the article is explicitly talking about having one bicycle and another cargobike as extra. Not everybody has the money for that, or needs a cargobike everyday of the week. I for one wouldn't move kids in a bicycle trailer, so a cargobike for kids is better.

I don’t know anything about combinatory logic, but your question sounds similar to “why study push-down automata if we already know that turning machines are Turning complete?” Maybe I’m way off base in drawing that parallel, and if I am I’m curious why. Aren’t systems like these used to explore the hierarchy of computational power? I’m assuming that studying systems with less power is how those lines are drawn. Is that not the case here?

Some people oppose solar panels (and wind farms) purely for aesthetic reasons. Buildings with flat roofs render this a non-issue, but then the lack of a sloped roof means you have to deal with water runoff. I wonder why we don't do roofs in the shaped of a mostly flattened V or W, comprising one or two shallow troughs, which would also ameliorate the need for gutters all the way around. I know sawtooth roofs are a thing, but it doesn't address the aesthetic problem.
This is something where git rebase comes in handy:

- Start working on a breaking change

- Realize you need to fix something else

- Commit your WIP breaking change

- Make and commit the fix

- Rebase your changes to move the fix onto HEAD (before your WIP commits)

- Push the fix

- Continue working on the breaking change

Most of the time "recursing through a linked list" is still too low-level; and we can instead write our code at a higher level with `map`, `reduce`, etc. Recursion is then just an implementation detail of those functions; which we could instead swap out for, say, massively parallel fan-out across a datacentre (i.e. frameworks like MapReduce, and its descendents like Spark)!
I don't know if it is. However, the process of anonymizing the data, but still get a useful answer and then adapting it to working code on your side takes some skills. If you can do that effectively, you are not completely clueless and probably could do well enough without ChatGPT.

That's a false dichotomy. I can blame myself for not keeping my family away from toxic algorithms, but I can also blame the facebook leadership for creating that monster. one that also infects every site I visit with trackers, and then uses that to push ads across my whole family.

> Because existing organisation's would lose their profits from sand mining?

I'm willing to be cynical and conspiratorial, but this doesn't add up for me. There are so many players between "large construction firms in the USA" and "sand mafia in India" that I find it hard to believe that this is the action of a global cartel. Unless large construction firms in the USA specifically are also run by the sand mafia, which of course is possible, but would be a hell of an exposé if anyone ever caught on.
To be fair I was arguing assumptions "all can be fixed automatically" and that "all can be fixed, all bad guys can be caught".

I do agree that there is a lot that can be caught with a bit more effort and that Meta does not really want to spend resources because it doesn't earn them money.

But also I argue that there still will be a lot of bad stuff and there is not enough money/resources to stop all.
I feel like this type of project is a natural fit as the transport layer for CRDT-based applications. Something like: each user/device has an append-only log of CRDT events, then applications merge events from multiple logs to create a collaborative experience. (I have no idea if iroh supports append-only logs, but it seems like a common thing for projects in this space to support.) What do you think?
Voter Suppression, Harvard-Style (2022)
I'm not an expert at all but have also thought about this quite a bit. Neuroplasticity is definitely reduced in adults, but so is free time and exposure to novel inputs. As we get older, a higher proportion of experiences are routine or at least things we've seen before, and we have far less free time. We are also increasingly behaving based on biases we accumulate and familiar patterns and just not using the parts of our brain we use for learning as much anymore. I often wonder if it's partly a kind of atrophy and whether you might be able to restore some neuroplasticity by "practicing." A related idea that occurs to me is that as you get older and learn about the world, you tend to trade curious openness for useful heuristics to some degree just to make life easier and more efficient.

The easiest example for me is learning guitar - I started when I was 5 and got pretty damn good over the years. It would be difficult to repeat that now in my 30s, but at least part of that difficulty would be because I can't really devote 3-4 hours a day nearly every day to it like I did as a bored kid out in the country. To be clear, I'm sure the differences in neuroplasticity come from both behavioral and neurological differences. It's just fun to think about how much is set in stone and how much could theoretically be "exercised" so to speak, and how much of the neurological changes are actually due in part to the behavioral changes as we age.
With the shift to electric vehicles and heat pumps, I doubt it. But if we reach the point where we're regularly overproducing electricity, there are some steel producers who would be happy to solve that problem for us.
I agree with them if they think their pay should be adjusted.

Extremely well! No idea how it's doing it in the general results, but they're orders of magnitude better than Google / Bing etc. Plus you get to fine tune results yourself, ie: downrank w3schools etc so the garbage sites are less likely to appear in your results. You can even exclude them completely.

That's true. Well, we also did sports and had bikes in the 1970s, but I think people definitely have more luxurious vacations than we used to. Back then, my family always went camping for three weeks in a tent. These days, we go on much more expensive vacations abroad. More people go by plane, too.

> What was the average home size in 1970? What is the average home size today?

The home I grew up in was larger than the house I raise my kids in. Lots of older houses weren't all that small, and plenty of new ones aren't that big, but they all got a lot more expensive.

> How many times in the past ten years had you fixed your clothes with sewing?

I always want to, but never get around to it. This lack of repair has definitely contributed to the disposability of our stuff.

> So this "one parent was working" meant basically "another parent is doing a shitload of manual labor at home

But we still have chores at home. Only now we have to do them outside working hours. Although I do quite a bit on my free wednesdays.

> If you reduce your living standards to 1970s median, you can easily rise your kids with a single working parent.

I have friends who do. But the thing they mostly cut their expenses on is still their house: they live in an old, poorly insulated house in the middle of nowhere that still needs a lot of work.

I'm saying whatever surveillance is in place should be symmetrical. As to how much surveillance, I believe symmetry naturally leads to boundaries. Asymmetry doesn't.

The market share is the percentage of the market, up to 100%. The market might grow due to the different measures adopted but percentage wise it will always be limited to the whole being 100%, split between however many players. Everyone's share increasing means the market going above 100%.

What OP means is that it's a mathematical impossibility for everyone's market share to increase. It's a zero sum game, for any player's market share to increase, someone else's must decrease.
"Change the world" and "paradigm shift" are not inherently good.
Does owning a gun cause suicidal thoughts? Most of Western Europe has higher suicide rates than the US: https://www.phillyvoice.com/why-suicide-rise-us-falling-most.... Eastern Europe has even higher suicide rates. And suicide rates in the US are going up as the percentage of households with a gun is going down.
This remains an unconvincing argument.
I went to a high school (in the US) that was full of extremely passionate and engaging teachers. After I graduated, I had a conversation with one of them about the curriculum, and she told me that their number one job was effectively to teach whatever will be on the standardized tests used for college admissions.

I've had some amazing teachers whose passion shone through and cultivated students' genuine interest in the subject matter. Unfortunately, there is only so much that can be done when, at the end of the day, your curriculum is designed for the purpose of getting a good standardized test score.
It didn't help the Soviet Union. I think people over-estimate the value of the military in this context. A default will dissolve the military as you can no longer pay its members. The Western world is mostly united behind the US because it's getting free defense (who doesn't want free stuff?). If you remove that, I highly doubt they'll align as much with the US.

I never said that we're uncompetitive solely because of environmental and labor laws, but those factors make such a significant difference that any other factors become irrelevant. We could have all the cheap capital in the world but it would still be cheaper to manufacture in China, Taiwan or other parts of Asia where people work 50,60+ hour weeks for lower pay and no benefits or vacation.

And how do you propose we enforce that against untrustworthy or even hostile governments that have a history of covering things up and a vested interest to do it again?

Something happened to international roaming.

You used to manage your costs easily, paying only for what you needed. Whether it was a quick SMS to verify a bank transaction or a brief call home.

Services were once flexible and sensible.

But now, many carriers are imposing a flat $10 daily international fee, regardless of usage. Such a policy doesn’t work for everyone. It’s akin to a landlord demanding a steep daily rent, even when you’re barely using a space.

Roaming shouldn’t be a source of inconvenience or lead to expensive monthly bills.
PDF is supposed to a be a printer format, not a word processing document format. While I too would love to nail down a PDF subset to be a standard (for example requiring the accessibility tags that make text extraction easy) perhaps trying to create a hybrid format, one that satisfies both printers and resizable windows, is already an impossible goal.

(I've always had to keep my love of PDF a secret from fellow nerds. But here's another secret, I like printing documents out from time to time.)

I know this is definitely not what you’re talking about because it’s a website and not a book but it’s a link always worth sharing https://noclip.website/
No neither of these explanations is right.

The paper talks about a specific type of model called an embedding model that produces vectors for datapoints that are useful for downstream tasks.

Normally you have to choose a single dimensionality for the vectors and store them all in a database that’s proportional to the size of those vectors.

The method described is for a model that has multiple “options” for the lengths of its embeddings. You can use smaller vectors to save space but they don’t work quite as well. Paper analyzes this more in-depth.

If the latent space is meant to be highly spatially correlated, could you simply apply random rotations of rows and columns† to the latent space throughout the process? That way, there wouldn't be specific areas data could be smuggled through.

† As in, move a random vertical stripe of the image from the right to the left, and a random horizontal portion from the top to the bottom. Or, if that introduces unacceptable edge effects, simply slice the space into 4 randomly sized spaces (although that might encourage smuggling in all of the corners at once.)

This feels like a perfect use case for a RFP marketplace that I think the world desperately needs - and then perhaps there can be a few individuals or organizations who would do such small orders, and maybe that's all they do - and they get enough work where it's probably not as cheap as mass printing 10,000 but at least it could get done and at a reasonable price; maybe with a "by donation" option for individuals who feel compelled or able to support the manufacturer even further.
