> because the one you picked in AWS doesn't support bare metal

That's just because AWS's Kubernetes offering is laughably bad.

There is huge difference in your experience whether you use Kubernetes via GKE (Autopilot) or any other solution (at least as long you don't have a dedicated infrastructure team).
What I'm curious about is Perfect Day. I want to say I read him denying it being about heroin, but it just sounds too close to the feeling to me. Maybe I just see in it what I want to see; I'm not sure.

Real-estate does not increase in value in Japan. Land might increase in value, but the developments depreciate. Agree that land value tax is much better than property tax.
A bit, yes. But it's perfectly possible to destroy a bird's breeding habitat without affecting global climate. The focus should be on the species we share the planet with and preventing their extinction. Planetary atmospheric issues are not what nature conservation is about.
As long as you do not kill people who even talk about these …

And whilst one can say these, one may note something like say letting blood can cure disease it is not. Hence talking is ok. But actually using it …
Heh, this appeared right after writing my other comment. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
Please do some measuring of core temperature response to load before and after re-pasting / upgrading the thermal compound. Something between a large grain of rice and a pea, and I like to clean the CPU and cooler cold plate completely, paste the CPU, then press and smear around the cooler onto the CPU before mounting it, to ensure full surface area coverage with a thin layer of compound.
I generally like the idea of a resource-oriented API, this seems pretty intuitive and useful. And that part mostly survived even in APIs that are otherwise nothing like the original REST idea. But many other parts of the original idea just don't seem useful enough to be worth the effort. And there are parts where I don't think pure REST has good solutions (or I'm not understanding REST well enough to know them), mostly around bulk actions. The moment you want to act on multiple instances of a resource you have to invent your own stuff, it doesn't fit well with the usual REST layout. And there are very good reasons to need this, just iterating over resources is not a solution in terms of performance and transactional behaviour.

Naw, just use system-d, ha-proxy and bash scripts. That is much "simpler" (for some definition of simple).

Kidding of course. If you need anything approximating Kubernetes, use it. If you just need one machine maybe don't.
Personally I'd blame HR. It's their job to fully think these things through and make sure they are being executed on in a coherent fashion.

How do you work with a Zotero collection on Android?
Wasn't the main breakthrough it's utility and accessibility, not precision?

It's still quite generalized in that it assumes a flat volatility surface, which even traders in the pits intuitively knew was wrong (thus the emergent volatility smile after '87). What it did allow was for a single number (implied volatility) to function as the single knob to be dialed to move quotes up and down for convex instruments. Therefore, instead of calling a trade desk and working out direct price quotes, you could have an immediate frame of reference ("this is trading at 31 vol") and move the offer to, say, "30 vol", leaving the calculation to the computer because both parties shared a language.

As for the vol smile and lack of volatility surface uniformity in real markets, it wasn't an issue, because pit traders were fine pricing different strikes at different vols, and players deeper in the volatility space had their own more accurate models geared for each market/instrument.

Knowing an underlying's iVol gives a good general overview of the pricing landscape with just a single number, and then if you need more precision, you can pull up the list of strikes and ivols for each strike and see the shape of the vol surface. That just takes a few more seconds. It's very quick and very useful, from the pit trader crews with the proto-handheld computer to the sell side and buy side deals working the phones. Utility!

To expand a bit, it is also a great feature that the second level of granularity (breaking away from the theoretical flat vol surface by applying different iVol values to different strikes) isn't crammed into another overarching generalized model. It breaks the model and lets traders go, say after the '87 crash, "tail risk is trading much higher what it has been historically, and this stuff is staying permanently bid, looks like a regime shift. We don't have a generalized model for this yet but in the meantime, traders in the pit are working with this new pricing, we can all see it and speak the same language, and we'll work out the new generalized models at a later date." That's why these simple options pricing models are still useful today, even though there are far more known kinks in volatility surfaces than there were decades ago.
I think both phone call and Zoom call are worse than an automated email because 1) I have to find the time to be available for both and 2) More often than not I want to process in private.

A short, but still personalized email would be my preference. An offer to do a phone call or Zoom would also be humanizing but not necessary.
Conservation normally means things don't change over time just because in mechanics time is the go to external parameter to study the evolution of a system, but it's not the only one, nor the most convenient in some cases.

In Hamiltonian mechanics there is a 1:1 correspondence between any function of the phase space (coordinates and momenta) and one-parameter continous transformations (flows). If you give me a function f(q,p) I can construct some transformation φ_s(q,p) of the coordinates that conserves f, meaning d/ds f(φ_s(q, p)) = 0. (Keeping it very simple, the transformation consists in shifting the coordinates along the lines tangent to the gradient of f.)

If f(q,p) is the Hamiltonian H(q,p) itself, φ_s turns out to be the normal flow of time, meaning φ_s(q₀,p₀) = (q(s), p(s)), i.e. s is time and dH/dt = 0 says energy is conserved, but in general f(q,p) can be almost anything.

For example, take geometric optics (rays, refraction and such things): it's possible to write a Hamiltonian formulation of optics in which the equations of motion give the path taken by light rays (instead of particle trajectories). In this setting time is still a valid parameter but is most likely to be replaced by the optical path length or by the wave phase, because we are interested in steady conditions (say, laser turned on, beam has gone through some lenses and reached a screen). Conservation now means that quantities are constants along the ray, an example may be the frequency/color, which doesn't change even when changing between different media.
I take it one more step: if you step across any of my personal lines, I will stop doing business with you where feasible.

For example:

- I unsubscribe from your mailing list. But you have another, slightly different one, so I must unsubscribe from each
- >1 click to unsubscribe
- physically mail me more than about 4 times a year: your product probably sucks
- make it difficult to cancel my account or subscription
- and many more

At this point I may end up living in the woods with no internet, but that sounds delightful!
> It's insisting that someone engage with you when they would do so if they cared to.

No, they wouldn't. Most people are not like us.

It always baffled me why the ecommerce stores would so easily nuke your entire purchase history, when they changed some software. I would routinely look up what I purchased before to purchase it again, or a version of it, even years later. But most people don't. So it's easier to nuke the old system, and then market again. The lost revenue from those who would reengage when they needed to is minuscule and irrelevant.

This mass of non-discriminating consumers is a larger problem of modern capitalism. There is little incentive to make truly excellent products, and the market for them is usually a small niche. Most people don't care, even if they care, they can't tell the difference, and won't put in the effort.
> Hiring managers who want to make rejections feel less impersonal can do it by sharing the news in an email initially and then offering a phone call for feedback if the person wants one,

The EU 2017 conference is not a science conference, it's a pseudo-science conference with little to no evidence or science behind it. Anyone claiming any wild thing can go and present there. There is no actual peer reviewed evidence here.

So as long as no reputable independent team is a able to verify their claims, I'll remain extremely sceptical. So far all we have are wild claims and fancy videos all from a single source and that just won't cut it to convince me.

That's a human being actually quite intelligent. The LLM on the other hand has no higher order intelligence and the ability to create nonsense with intent, knowing it's nonsense, it merely does what it's programmed to do, ie produce nonsense sometimes.

But more generally, listing any human behavior and its similarity doesn't prove LLM intelligence.

> it does all of the above in a cloud agnostic way.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here and say that some of the basics are indeed cloud agnostic.

However, it's plain for many or most to see that outside of extremely "toy" workloads you will be learning a specific "flavour" of Kubernetes. EKS/GKE/AKS etc; They have, at minimum, custom resource definitions to handle a lot of things and at their worst have implementation specific (hidden) details between equivalent things (persistent volume claims on AWS vs GCP for example is quite substantially different).

Would appreciate any folks here who have tried both Obsidian and Joplin to summarize the key differentiators for them and which one they ended up on.

(on x platform, Windows/iOS use case here, but just post your needs)

I tried to move to Obsidian from Evernote after they raised the subscription price but wasn't able to onboard successfully - Obsidian seemed powerful but was too customizable for me, had to get back to more pressing day job needs before I could figure out a setup that would work for me, ended up just paying the Evernote fee another year.

I’m not sure that “try capitalism” is the best response to an article complaining about a market failure due to unpriced externalities.
That's more than a slight nitpick - it corrects a core misunderstanding to be found everywhere this discussion seems to be happening.

To wit: AI articles are to be found along a dramatic spectrum of quality. If such an article is high-quality, relevant to the subject matter, asserts the fact in question, and makes proper and veracious use of a primary source in support of such an assertion, why isn't it a reasonable source for an encyclopedia?

I can imagine a future with rich educational materials with these layers:

* raw experimental data -=>

* publication ("primary" source) -=>

* AI-generated review of many publications ("secondary" source) -=>

* Human-authored encyclopedia article (with one or two people following the fact pattern all the way back down to the data, and many more people helping to synthesize the higher layers into a rich, readable, considerate, diverse synopsis)
This got me thinking: Can the backpropagation algorithm be expressed as an equation?

I assume this should always be possible using functional programming.
I find I just sign up for a lot fewer services than I would otherwise, these days. Engaging with a lot of the internet is just exhausting, when you have to constantly be on guard. I’m not sure if it is a local-maximum or some sort of tragedy of the commons thing, or maybe it actually just legitimately works well for lots of companies and I’m a just the weird one, but it seems odd that every interaction online is a game of “what information can I reveal before I get fucked over,” and the answer is usually: very little.
Been there, done that, didn't get a t-shirt but got to yell at some people for setting up with undersized VMs and forgetting to note it anywhere.

> you'll have no idea if a brilliant essay or entire magazine is made by a bot.

That doesn't sound like a problem to me. If the ideas being expressed offer value to the readers, who/what created them isn't particularly relevant.

> you'll have no idea if the politician/professor/activist on the video is real.

Tying real-world identity to the expression of ideas on the Internet has already created the problems you describe toward the end of your comment. We already see self-censorship, external censorship, and people just regurgitating a "safe" subset of ideas that they may not even actually believe.

Many of the most honest and insightful comments I've seen here were from throw-away accounts, or "Anonymous Coward" on Slashdot, or otherwise weren't immediately tied to an identifiable person.

The most artificial, blandest, and lowest-quality online content I've seen has consistently been from politicians who are merely repeating their party's vetted talking points, or the mass media, or from other identifiable people.
The obsession with climate change has produced a generation who think that any tree species is ok if it replenishes carbon. People who don't understand that some natural habitats are incomparably more important for birds than secondary forest and reforestation efforts.
yeah, not metaphorically, a lot of newly wealthy people are surrounded by resentful people and they spend a lot of cycles hiding it or trying to blend in rather than enjoying it, in comparison to generationally ultra high net worth people that already operate in specific locales and environments

there is no round of applause or red carpet for them, no “wow dude you made it”, and people are fine with that….. until you present them with that specific thing and new circle of socioeconomic equals that also like that specific thing

thats a friction he solves and it is very lucrative

I don't know if it was a temporary thing, but https://www.alliron.vc/ is up and running.
The "CEOs" I know are process ridden vodoo priests with the attention span of collibris when it comes to "side" projects like hiring. Up and down the scenario tree, the newest "toy" firmly on the mind, the rest fast forgotten. Which is why all those career animals try to generate company internal headlines, to bubble as a new/rediscovered toy back upon the adhd stack.
What really ticks me off is there are seemingly no levers to pull to financially convey to an insurance company that I will only ever call them for a large catastrophic loss. Raising deductibles on car or home affects the rates very little. Meanwhile I've seen friends call their insurance companies to handle ice dams, oil burner blowbacks, getting a new roof ("wind damage"), or the inevitable water catastrophe in a finished basement. I suppose their rates go up later to compensate, but it still feels like I myself am not ever going to be contributing to the bulk of claims.

I'm honestly quite close to just saying no thank you to home insurance, but the things stopping me would be the lack of liability protection (even though once again I'm very low on the risk side here), plus the anti competitive scheme they've set up whereby if you go uninsured for a bit, then that's a black mark against you in the future. Perhaps there could be some wiggle room with deeding the house to a trust/LLC and then back (so that during my personal ownership it was never uninsured), but I haven't taken the time to really think that through.

Another thing that needs to happen is a statutory maximum for property damage liability to passenger cars. We've always had expensive vehicles on the road, but they've traditionally been heavy working vehicles and easy to fix. Whereas now, if you've made the choice to drive around an aluminum framed car that is going to require expensive disassembly, inspection, and rework for what would have otherwise been a fender bender, then you yourself should be paying the increased premiums to cover that cost.

Also, (obviously) the health care extortion racket needs to be set straight. It feels like one of the big reasons healthcare providers bill fraudulent prices is because of the big payday when auto insurance gets stuck paying.
Perhaps a little on the tinfoil hat side of things, but it isn't completely unreasonable to think that some of the FUD could originate from cloud providers. Kubernetes is a commoditizing force to some extent.
Derivatives are a zero-sum game. If someone lost a trillion dollars trading them, someone else made a trillion dollars trading them. It will always result in a net 0.

What I want is a Content-Security-Policy approach to my phone calls: block everything by default, and only allow known contacts through.

At this point I'm getting 2-3 spam calls a day, so I'm just not picking up.

The friction comes with the occasional useful contact from a third party that I might not have the number from (eg: contractor using a different mobile number than their main office line).

It certainly means that momentum is conserved as time passes. The variation of the total momentum of a system is equal to the impulse, which is zero if there are no external fields.

Imagine you are Microsoft and you want to collude with Amazon to rig compute prices.

You both agree to follow the recommendations of an unbiased Amasoft Price Calculator tool. This tool uses an advanced algorithm looking at thousands of data points and always returns the same price, $10000 per month.

You both follow this independent tool and end up pricing it the same. Is this a fair system? You’re both subscribing to an algorithm.

> If the complaint is that older OS'es are not secure, then guess what? That complaint also applies at least doubly (and perhaps exponentially!) to newer OS's as well, which comprise exponentially more lines of code than the older OS'es!

This is wrong because the reason that older operating systems are insecure is that vulnerabilities in them are no longer being patched, but in newer ones, they still are.
Agree. I've built a bunch of stuff using those APIs and consuming those links is actually more work than not having them, IMHO. To find them, I have to look at response payloads, identify the field with the link, and then call that link to get additional details. A simple, documented resource to URL mapping would be easier to use. It comes at the cost of having to update code when resource locations change, but I've yet to see that happen outside of major API changes that break things in other ways that require code changes on my end.
In the historical sense, a primary source comes from the time period under study. A secondary source is later, and interprets, or records, later impressions/recollections of the period in question. So for example, a newspaper article from the 1890s is a primary source about the late 19th century, even if the author had no direct knowledge of the topic about which they were writing.
