This paper is very silly. It considers only trying to resolve features with a colossal optical telescope instead of the far easier method of monitoring the chemistry of the atmosphere via spectral absorption lines as it passes in front of the host star to watch for unnaturally rapid changes in carbon dioxide and other chemicals.
I'm a little surprised this framework hasn't gotten more mindshare. I've found it pretty easy to grok and work with.

Seems right now everyone is under Spring's "boot", if you'll pardon the pun.
>Just use a password manager!

What if I don't have access to the password manager at some point but I do need to log into some website? I.e. visiting friends house, forgot my phone at home but I need to log in my banking app to do a transfer? Or visiting a foreign country, someone steals my papers and my phone and I need to login to mail at a public cafe to let my family know I am well.
They’re not irrelevant to the situation. In fact, they’re the people who have malicious intent.

Can’t catch them all? Catch the ones you can, make an example out of them.

That should in no way be used as an excuse not to get the police to behave themselves as well.
You're being downvoted but I used to live there and I think you're right on the money.
Just one reason for me is that I can add the docker-compose.yml to git to track changes over time and have a more reproducible setup.
fortunately, wfh is widespread enough now that if a company doesn't want to pay you then you can take your skills elsewhere. If the talent pool is worldwide now then so are the employment opportunities.
We did have them 25 years ago.

The documentation there may not make it clear, but you could do things like navigate from one page to the next, and fade in the new page, from a normal full page reload, with no intermediate flash of unstyled anything.

It was part of the attempt to lock the web into DirectX and even Microsoft themselves deprecated this a long time ago. But it definitely worked. I remember playing with it. IE4 though IE6-ish had a lot of weird stuff in it to try to drive lock in.
Interesting that this and many other articles mention the importance of a home charger.

In Australia and the UK you don't need a home charger, as the normal standard socket is sufficient to add 200kms or so overnight. Plenty for the typical user.

This info is often the most surprising thing that people learn when they talk to an actual EV driver.

I would've thought USA would have enough for many as well, but perhaps only 100km overnight.

UK: 13A, 220 V. Aus: 10A 240V. USA: 15A 115V

Doesn't help those in apartments or condos which don't have a outlet in the garage.
There are Go DI frameworks overall DI is not that popular in Go community.
I use a password manager, but USED to do that “human hash” of a website.

It’s because password managers are annoying at the worst possible times. The dread of “oh god… this device doesn’t support my password manager/im only going to log in once here, so I have to carefully type out random numbers and letters” is not fun.

Examples: office zoom meeting room tablet. Standalone VR headset. Smart TV. Trying to share an account for video streaming. (Solved by that being mostly impossible now) The wifi password every single person will ask you for when they’re at your home.

That sucks. People immediately imagine those scenarios when you bring it up to them.
Maybe? Perhaps that's just a part of my daily dev that is lacking. I generally work on the backend and not the frontend. I could envision how keeping stuff in the same order on a UX would be important.

Doesn't seem like it'd be the general case though. And it seems like it'd be fairly obvious when something like this applies.
Furthermore it will mean the Chinese manufacturers will be way ahead when US/EU manufacturers actually take EVs seriously.
It's like people way to into conspiracy theories. They want to seem smart. I never don't have my phone. I've been aggressively using a password manager for nearly s decade and it's never once been an issue.
He has a point. It depends on how optimized it is.
In the first case most password managers I’m aware of let you log in online. So I’d just log in and use my hardware token on my keyring for 2FA.
> Once people try electric they won’t go back to the nightmare that is the internal combustion engine

Infrastructure needs to catch up a bit more. I’ve tried electric and it was a nightmare if you don’t have a place to charge at home.
DPO is as close to RL as RLHF. The latter also uses the LLM as a reward model.

I'm not a fan of the RL/SL dichotomy, because the line gets so foggy. If you squint, every loss is a negative reward, and every policy improvement a supervised target.

Still, what the code does isn't what is described in the paper that the page links to.
The oxygen-rich atmosphere is a dead giveaway, and we can already detect this kind of thing hundreds of light-years away.
Wasn't there a study a few years ago that had identified a rudimentary language in bats.

It was just 3-4 words/concepts like:

'i don't like you'

'don't want to sleep next to you'

'like you'.
It's not entirely clear from a brief Google what behavior extinction is.

However, I don't really think this is particularly parallel let alone same as any sort of prescriptive process for reward/training which the brief search on Google suggested behavior extinction is about.

I'm not going to totally deny that there are any parallels between any behavior reinforcement mechanism m, but I'd sooner redirect to reading more about body keeps score before making the parallels to another concept (in this case)
I mean, I am comparing today's average management with the 90s, not with 19th century coal mines.
I was like this some years ago. My assumption was that nobody can guess my password, because it is not straightforward. Untill someone explained that if someone new one password, he would know them all. Only then did I start using Keepassxc.

Another factor is inconvenience. On the road, most passwords are out of reach for me now. In a way I prefer it that way, I prefer to not be glued to my phone. As a compromise, there are a few passwords in a note taking app on my phone ;)
Well said.

I hope I never have to rely on a root cause analysis done by these people.
> I agree that words have meanings.

That seems bold, do you have any justification for this belief?
Let's see: Our galaxy is what, rough ballpark 100,000 light years (LY) in diameter. Soooo, to have a reasonably large collection of aliens to detect us, ask that they be ~50,000 LY or so away. Soooo, by now all they could get from us would be from what we were doing ~50,000 years ago. But we've been radiating from our civilization only in the last ~200 years.

Net, the aliens would have to wait ~50,000 years to receive anything very interesting from us. Sooo, have they detected us yet? Likely not. Instead they will have to wait another ~50,000 years.

And even if alien ET (extra terrestrial) has found how to travel and signal faster than light, OUR signals, what WE have sent, will still travel only at the speed of light.
That's a bit of my thinking too. But maybe the amount of extra calories you are consuming is not good for you.

Or maybe just the meat. My local food store has a butcher section and you can see them working. The head butcher, a large man, has this characteristic red look on his face too. I'm guessing his diet is probably a lot of meat.

I remember my statistics class, we would calculate the probability of event B given event A.

So I wonder if perhaps if you are prone to high blood pressure, a vegan yoga training would be better for you, than meat eating and heavy weight training.
Or even a just a life style where you are eating less, while still having some muscle mass, is just better.

But people will do what is easier, since they perceive they are better at it. Being a heavy set man, pushing weights is a lot easier than going for a mile run.
> Unfortunately, whatever physical pleasures lifting once brought have dissipated. Now, it’s more chore than not. An important chore, but a chore. It used to be fun. I used to know how to make it fun. I’m sad that that sense of fun is gone, and I’ve not really been able to rekindle it.

I definitely understand how this poor fellow would feel this way. Lifting when feeling sick or emotionally / physically tired is not fun. What can help is to mix things up. Doing nothing but squats, bench, overhead press, and deadlifts? Go to a park and do a bunch of bodyweight exercises on the climbinb bars. Switch your barbell routines over to dumbbell workouts - they are generally less neurally taxing and easier to tackle but can still get you plenty strong. Change up sets, reps, weights, and rest periods to add variety. You're not prepping for a meet in two months so specialization is not a paramount concern.
> Is it nog a bit more likely that there was some duplication in the hashes?

Depending on the type of hashes... Absolutely not.
In the 4 or so years I've been using a password manager I can't remember ever having it feel like a burden or require more planning (besides the upfront work). On the other hand, I can't count how many times it has either saved me or been an incredible convenience. So many random websites require accounts these days (eg. health practitioners) and password managers make it infinitely easier to handle.
> the company usually needs to create a subsidiary in the country of the employee, get familiar with their judicial and tax system, then there's also the issue of time zones, travel cost to company meetings, etc.

This is why women who want to get pregnant don't get hired in the USA (extra costs associated with postnatal (ETA: maternity) leave). And yet that's not okay. So your basic rule of thumb is not quite comprehensive.
I tend to agree @espadrine, it's semantics for the most part
I wasn't replying to the root comment, I was replying in the context of the subsequent three comments, specifically:

> > > Crazy that actually using your type system leads to better code.

> > There's a name for this anti-pattern: "Stringly typed"

> I don't think a reasonable person would consider storing a username in a string to be "stringly typed".

#1 was saying that the root comment shows better code using the type system.

#2 was clearly referring to the case where you don't do this as being an anti-pattern.

#3 is saying that storing a username in a string, without wrapping defining a distinct type for it, was not stringly typed. But as I pointed out, it certainly is.

If you doubt my interpretation of #3, the same commenter said this in another comment: "Is it really more 'programmer friendly' to create wrapper types for individual strings all over your codebase?"
It's a philosophical thing.

The advantages of microframeworks (e.g. Sinatra, Flask, Javelin, etc) are that as your needs expand, you can bolt-on the additional functionality as you see fit, from a "best of breed" selection of your favorite libraries.

The advantages of batteries-included frameworks (e.g. Rails, Django, Spring, etc) are that your application is easier to find people to work on, and has a greater change of remaining coherent and maintainable for longer.

In the real world with microframeworks, some rock star starts a greenfield project, and has a delightful fun time selecting their personal picks of various community libraries to bolt functionality on top of the microframework. Then that original developer moves on 6 months later. The best-case scenario is that half of their pet community libraries are no longer being maintained 12 months after that, and the team has to constantly sink time into migrating pieces of the app to other actively maintained libraries. The worst-case scenerio is that you get the next-generation rock star, who wastes time ripping out pieces for no real reason other than using their own personal pet favorites.

In my experience, the microframeworks are ideal for apps where you can be fairly confident that the scope will never expand (e.g. simple Lambda functions). Otherwise, they're popular toys for startups, and nooks and crannies of large enterprises where no one's really providing any oversight over the juniors.
The street is so narrow that it has a car parking lane on both sides. Truly a scares resource, this road.
It's just like Y2K, and just as pervasive, but harder to explain to upper management. My guess is that it won't go smoothly.
Actually, a company's attitude toward this problem has to be balanced. I live in a country where most international companies pay less than the US and even the EU average. The effect is quite easy to predict: they are not attractive to senior candidates (i.e., Nokia) and suffer from higher employee attrition (not right now, as the job market is pretty dead). I don't want to mention the effect on employee morale. Is it discrimination, as the author says? When you do exactly the same job in the same company, same department, same team, with the same output — then definitely it's discrimination. Does it encourage various xenophobic behaviors coming from better-earning employees - very rarely, but yes. Is it legal? — Yes.
Also interesting in this connection is a meta-analysis [1] finding significant effect for propranolol, a beta blocker, in mitigating PTSD symptoms via a protocol of administration followed by trauma memory reactivation (colloquially, 'triggering'). The postulated mechanism is the drug's interference with epinephrine and norepinephrine binding sites, the effect being to reduce the experience of fear and anger associated with revisiting such memories.

Certainly this strikes me as entirely plausible, given my own experience of such memories. It does seem likely to further complicate the 'it's trauma if you think it is' model, considering the implicit organic correlate of trauma required for there to exist a mechanism of the demonstrated effect; the action of beta blockers is well understood.

I suspect the performance part is only true if you're familiar with Python's stdlib performance quirks, like how `datetime.fromisoformat()` is orders of magnitude faster than `datetime.strptime()` (which would likely be the function you'd reach for if not familiar), or at the very least, that directly casting slices of the string into ints is in between the two. This example is parsing a file of 10,000,000 ISO8601 datetimes, then counting those between `HH:00:SS – HH:02:SS` inclusive. The count method is the same, and likely benefitting some OS caching, but the parse times remained constant even with repeated runs.

$ python3 times_python.py strptime_listcomp
parse time: 45.96 seconds

It doesn’t signal anything. Companies do this in order to prevent impostors from hosting on these sites posing as them. Business as usual, Pages is comparable to Word, Numbers is weak against Excel, and Keynote is superior to PowerPoint.
Idk it wasn’t until I went to my therapist that I realised that my mum leaving at the age of 2 was traumatic and that I have a lot of extreme stress and depressive responses now from that even though I didn’t know it. It’s easy to say “divorce is normal and not traumatic” but I think that normal life events can and do cause trauma
have you looked at the codebase? it's been a while but I was implementing Keycloak a few years ago and it was shocking how big the codebase is and how difficult it is to change things to add what felt like basic functionality. making plugins didn't seem like a viable option either.

oh not to mention the statefulnes of it, it was almost impossible to destroy and re create an instance from scratch without a bunch of manual point and click via the UI.
More likely they'd use their star for magnification by placing telescopes at the right focal point.
Thanks, I'll add base64 as one of the trivial transformations to my ongoing brute-forcing effort of all your passwords, multiplying total search effort by a tiny constant.

I'm joking. But what if I weren't? Especially if you're going to announce this on the internet, it sounds far more effective to add 1 character to the end of your passphrase instead, since each exponentiates any brute force effort, and isn't defeatable by a simple pattern.

(Or announce on the internet that you're doing something far more complex, like running bcrypt on all your passphrases to generate your passwords. That would make an attacker's life significantly more difficult than base64.)

(Or always lie on the internet about how you generate your passwords. I hope that's what you're already actually doing.)
Totally agree. The modularity and the amount of “batteries included” can eventually become a negative. The last thing I want is for someone to reinvent RxJava yet it seems to happen in every one of the more bloated frameworks. “Are you familiar with reactive programming? Oh cool - but are you familiar with mixing RxJava and Spring’s reactor? That’s what we now have and it’s a real treat sometimes.” This is just one sad and possibly poorly outdated example as I haven’t worked with spring in some years now.
That makes sense; good point. With rising class-based inequality and disparities, some sort of push back is likely.

The Nazi movement was able to gain so much popularity and traction in a short time because it was a reaction to the sexual liberation and degeneracy which preceded it: https://muslimskeptic.com/2022/11/05/how-sexual-revolution-g...

As we’ve seen, Weimar Germany was a hotbed of sex, much of it of the paid-for variety. Both adult men and women sold their bodies in the streets and clubs of Berlin. But child prostitutes were also bought and sold here. In fact, there was a booming and well-regulated industry, with pimps happy to cater to almost any taste.[1]

Our ability to detect signs of ETI is very limited. It could be all over, and we could have even detected it already, but we don't realize it. Studying up on astrophysics (how we detect and transmit signals, how signals attenuate and fade over cosmic distances, and some of the signals SETI has already received) reveals that.

The Fermi paradox is only a paradox due to the assumption that in a few million years a civilization will colonize the entire Milky Way just because it's theoretically possible, so we should be up to our eyeballs with aliens' von Neumann probes. But many things are theoretically possible. We could build the world's largest house -- the size of Nebraska. Every nation could reorient and sink their economy into that megaproject and do it. But it's irrational to; there's better things we want to do with our resources (which will always be finite, all the way up the Kardashev scale). That's why I think it's silly to expect any intelligent life to be that ambitious (or competent).
Tsar Bomba was detonated in October 1961. That means that for any civilization to have seen it, that civilization must be within 63 light years of Earth. In addition, unlike the Pyramids, Tsar Bomba was a momentary flash, so if a civilization within that distance started looking today, they wouldn't see it. They probably wouldn't even see evidence of it, since here on Earth we can detect only traces that it specifically happened.

What the paper talks about is constantly visible evidence of human life. Civilizations up to 3000 light-years away can see evidence of the Pyramids because they were built 3000 years ago and have been visible from space ever since.
I don’t think we’re going to build rock crushers in space. With all that available energy it’d make more sense to just throw the whole rock into a smelter and fractionate the elements as they boil off. Why waste the slag either? You need all the material you can get so hang on to it and use it as ballast or extract the carbon and silicon from it. It’s more likely that we don’t see waste because there isn’t any, a dollar saved is a dollar earned.
I thought it was a great write up of the lifecycle of a successful startup. If you stick around you get to see a lot of change. Some positive some negative. Of course at 1000+ people you can’t have everyone reporting to the CEO
So it might be possible for a sufficiently advanced species to build such a thing. But would they choose to? The real question for these things is, if you are capable of building such a thing, what other things are you capable of building much simpler and cheaper that can do the job better?

Correct. The same thing also happens if you use the Blue/Green functionality to do an upgrade – unless you specify (and even then, I'm not sure if you can do so), the Blue instance will be in a different AZ than Green.
The commenter you're replying to misunderstood the discussion. See my sibling reply.
My mental model is replacing unwanted habits with preferred new habits.

An example might be replacing negative thoughts with something more positive. Terribly over simplifying, but in my case I decided to fake being happy and positive, wrote some scripts for myself, and just kept repeating these new scripts. Imagine my surprise some years later when I actually sincerely meant what I was saying.

In the case of pain and trauma, there's now a large and growing body of science about pain. In my case, my worst pain was a stabbing sensation in my back. It wasn't related to any of my physical injuries. Looking back, I now liken it to phantom limb pain.

I enrolled in Swedish's Pain Services, what I nicknamed "Pain College".

Lots of lectures and self-study about the best available science. Like "all pain is real" and the new paradigm of "pain is protection". So the trick is to identify that trigger and neutralize it. (My words. YMMV.)

I also learned a bunch of new skills. Tai chi and qi gong; multiple specific forms of breathing, relaxation, and mediation; ideas on how to reorganize my life (and schedule) to better manage pain; and a bunch of other stuff.

The most crazy thing I learned was "graded motor imagery". The intent was to reconnect my brain's pain processing with the actual source. So I was shown picture puzzles where I had to identify left vs right shoulder. During this activity, my experience of the stabbing pain (in my right shoulder) greatly diminished. Something that not even pain killers could do.

Mind blown.

So. Any way. Addressing one's trauma shouldn't cause more trauma. I've experienced that, multiple times.

"The Body Keeps the Score" is like a primer for addressing some kinds of trauma. It's main contribution is popularizing the new pain and trauma sciences. There's been so much progress since it was first published, no one book could cover it all.

--

To address one's pain (trauma), one has to find the right kind of professional, who has the answers you need. For me, that was Swedish's Pain Services.

There's similar clinics nationwide. It might be worth getting a consultation. The team that helped me gave me additional resources (referrals) for my problems that were outside of their purview.
