Thanks for your interest in DBOS!
We talk more about how things work on this docs page: https://docs.dbos.dev/explanations/how-workflows-work
For functions doing database transactions, we record execution information in that transaction, which isn't much overhead. For functions that communicate with external services, we record their output in the database and use the recorded output during recovery and debugging. We think DBOS is especially valuable for applications where reliability or security is a major concern (for example, in financial services or insurance).
I like how the concept that third world workers that are exploited by greedy capitalists to undercut native labor are being treated unfairly and exploited is presented as novel.

That's literally why they're there in the first place.
On Firefox I get an error playing the video. Edge plays the sound but not the video.

And no matter what you do, there will always be people who would want what they have, but cheaper.

It's triply confounded by the huge group of people who simply don't understand the math behind renting (and this includes many landlords, sadly).

How would we know this approach wouldn't have worked without having tried it? The world is much better and more fun with experimentation like this. Also, history of technology is filled with failed approaches that one day start working because some missing ingredient suddenly becomes available. You can't write off failed approaches forever. You have to reconsider them again and again (and again).
Spray foam is the most expensive way to get R-value. Unless you have space constraints, or existing air sealing concerns, you should not use spray foam.

Cheapest is double stud construction + blown in.
I feel that. I thought that way for decades. Specifically until two years ago when I was 41.

All that time I thought my neglect had given me strength and resilience. But it just made me inflexible and obstinate.
Diversity and quantity are important for LLM training.

A search engine can index more than just "the best sources", and show results from the tail when no relevant matches are in the best sources.

I would agree that with a softer restatement of your thesis though, I am sure there is a lot of diminishing marginal utility in search indexing broadly, especially as the web keeps getting more and more full of spam and nonsense.

For pre-training LLMs, the quality/quantity/diversity story is more nuanced. They do seem to benefit a lot from quantity. For a fixed LLM training budget, the choice to train on the same high quality documents for more epochs, or to train on lower quality but unseen data is an interesting area of research. Empirically, the research finds that additional epochs on the same data starts to diminish after the 4th iteration. All the research I've read tends to have an all or nothing flavor to data selection. Either it makes it in, and gets processed the same number of times, or it doesn't get in at all. There is probably some juice in the middle ground, where high quality data gets 4x'ed, bad data is still eliminated, but the lesser but not terrible data gets in once.
I don't think Boeing is destroying evidence; they're just generally negligent about keeping accurate records in the first place. Boeing can't provide information that they never recorded.
I saw some alternatives being suggested and wanted to do the same (Also, so that I can look back at this item, through my comments :) ). Started using https://pkgx.sh/ lately. I know it has some baggage with tea.xyz and crypto, but it is also easy to get started with.

What I've been doing for now is to pre-build the container to include the Nix environment in the nix store. I still run nix in the CI so I only have to rebuild the container from time to time, when the env has changed a lot. It's certainly not an ideal solution but it works without special support.

You indeed need some kind of nix-aware runner (e.g. with a persistent /nix) if you want both the flexibility and performance...
Agreed on the experience, hard to onboard. I looked at devenv.sh as easier way to get going. Implemented all with Nix, less lock-in. Just found std [0] and that looks quite promising too.

Right, it's not so much a critique of the author's work that I've presented as much as a meta-commentary on the article in the context that we're posting on a forum that aggregates content for public consumption.

The author is fine, he can publish whatever he pleases. I can't stop him, as you've pointed out.

From a meta-commentary perspective, it is actually quite interesting that Einstein's alleged plagiarism covers many diverse sources.
Why American Airports Are So Bad, and How to Fix Them (2017)
Posting this in my way to JFK airport where there were not warnings from the airline about the number of roadblocks beyond traffic (e.g. the typical NY never-ending under construction).
Thought I'd include the first line of the article:

> A Cancer Research UK-funded study, published in Cell Genomics, has revealed that prostate cancer, which affects one in eight men in their lifetime, includes two different subtypes termed evotypes.

In some cosmic sense, the number "one billion" and the number "two" are the same, I suppose.
The more I dug into it, the more movie soundtracks were all rooted in the Vienna scene, with Wagner at the base.

Max Steiner and Erich Korngold are for me better examples of this influence, since Steiner in particular pretty much invented the first modern film score with King Kong.

I don’t know want do you want and how you will use it.
I hope not as well, but I went through the same school system. In 1994 I took a computer graphics course, and was taught Apple Basic. It was fun, but I already knew Atari Basic, so it didn't really help other than creatively. The skills did not transfer, even when I went to DOS QuickBasic in 1996! I hope that they have people that understand development, but I won't hold my breath. At least if he is stuck with v1.5, I can use it as an opportunity to increase my knowledge on newer versions, assuming he enjoys the language. I haven't even used or deeply looked into lambdas in Java (but have in a few other languages).

He's enjoyed playing with Lua for Roblox, and I've gotten him to go through some of the easier C# tutorials from Microsoft where the execution happens right in the browser.
Well put. Though I suspect that the overwhelming majority of the sentiment to which you are referring is being carried by bots and not real humans.

It's a difficult time to be empirically-driven, though hopefully we will come out better for it.
It was true when I left a year ago. I was surprised to find the next hire after me was 20 years my senior. I actually felt like my mid-30s “youth” worked against me at times there.

Some of these institutions are extremely rich, especially the type of academic institutions companies like OpenAI are most eager to recruit from.
The whole thing gets complicated because people end up not being willing to hash out exactly what they want, and what others want, and how to work out compromises.

And general ideas always lose out to specific ones (which is why you can have an entire city that is pro-affordable housing but each example thereof is strongly fought against).
Like AI and VR. But there is progress.
These are obviously enormously restrictive conditions and effectively no different (worse?) than a tariff. Under normal conditions (not now, but way back when when govts used to act in the national interest) tariffs would always be reciprocated and a trade war would commence I think.
Not by my math unless comparing the hybrid.
The problem (especially pre-flakes) with nix (and Docker too; haven't used Bazel) is that if you GC, you can't recreate your previous environment (which version of nixpkgs were you using when you built it/which day did you run apt-get update in your Dockerfile).

It appears that Flox uses flakes and versions the flake.lock file, so it should be possible to readily reproduce anything that hasn't completely disappeared from the internet.

If they passed a law requiring US companies operating in Europe to divest their ownership in those subsidiaries or be banned from operating there then that would be their right as a government.

No, it's comparable to 230Mb of SRAM on Groq chip, since both of them are SRAM-only chips that can't really use external memory.
This is remarkable. Lasers were invented in 1960 as a point of reference.

The painted rope on two spools was also remarkable because of its simplicity - and it holds up today on explaining what a "download" is. ;-)

And even cooler - if we wanted to, I would wager a high school student could implement something along these lines using lego today. There's optical sensors, and you could rig up something to hold a pen like this [1] to render the image.

It uses my own Go module for this, which comes with a list of words with over 23 thousand words:

Because SRAM stopped getting smaller with recent nodes.
Some of those reason might be change by government policy.
You don't need to have had abusive situations. Neglect, specifically emotional neglect can cause all of those symptoms.

Personally, I was physically taken care of but had an overly permissive parent who treated me like a roommate rather than a child and that was enough to cause decades of suffering and not understanding why I couldn't do things other people found easy and natural.
> The second front end, the one I’ve actually published on GitHub [ed: link now defunct, since the JavaScript front end was scrapped], uses JavaScript for the drawing, and Neon Bindings as a Rust-to-JavaScript bridge. It’s packaged as an ElectronJS app because ElectronJS apps can be built and deployed to all the major platforms, which was an essential goal.

Ugh, all that just to provide a HTML5 canvas pixel buffer to a native (Rust) app. The pain of doing simple input/audio/graphics on GUI OSes today... We've made a wrong turn. It's back to TUI for me. Would you accept sixel graphics for the DMD 5620 Terminal's display?

> The main pain point so far has been working with the JavaScript ecosystem, which has hitherto been an enigma to me. I’ve found ElectronJS to be somewhat painful to work with because, although it is indeed cross platform, there are many caveats. The primary issue is in recompiling native NodeJS modules across platforms, which took some trial and error to get working correctly. In fact, I still haven’t produced a Linux app bundle yet, because the build keeps failing in ways I don’t quite understand.

> In general, it feels like JavaScript and NodeJS modules are a lot more brittle and error-prone than the code I’m used to working with.

Seriously, its $CURRENT_YEAR and getting a simple cross platform windowed graphical application up and running is still a pain? Hey that emulator community, say, MAME or BSNES might be of help -- oops, Rust... yeah, maybe not? Why isn't a simple GFX/audio/input API a must-have in any [new] language today?

Why inflation is staying high: The economy is increasingly uninsurable
He managed to become a lawyer and live a productive life in that thing. Crazy inspiring story.
Interested to see how it shakes out in Portland, we put in infill laws a few years ago and I've seen a handful of multi-family additions on previously single-family land, and even a handful of trailer or tiny homes setup on driveways (this was approved in the infill laws). And it does seem like nobody is super happy because the neighborhoods are losing a lot of their classic aesthetic. But IMO we need to let go of that eventually, otherwise everyone just has to move out to suburbs and fill that space instead (which is also happening).
Isn't this obvious? I thought it is well known that zoning is the biggest problem. Add to the fact that land values in cities are out of control.

For example, I'd like to rebuild my old house, but it doesn't make financial sense to build under 4000sf as I'd be losing out to potential value as well as matching the neighborhood. I can't build a duplex or detached ADU. I don't want to spend 2 million on giant house I can't use.
> These models are obviously capable of acts of intelligence.

Except they aren't. They are capable of language and pattern manipulation, and really good at it. But if you concoct a novel problem that isn't found anywhere on the internet and confront them with it, they fail absurdly. Even if it's something that a kid could figure out.

The Eliza effect strikes again!
If you try to publish your app in any of the Chinese app stores, you will be required to add an SDK to your app that basically allows them (Chinese government) to track user activity in your app.

This basically means that not only TikTok, but any app originating from China is mandated to have this tracking SDK integrated, and it's a much bigger problem than just a single app...
> compelling alternative for most C# developers

Definitely not for most but I guess for some it is. And if someone wants to learn something new, this is probably not bad start.
And pro ev fud too. Hopefully they balance out.
Not quite the same but I once was bored enough to keep trying to see how low power a solar powered calculator could work with.

I held my hand over the solar panel at various lengths until the screen cut out and while doing this I just kept hitting random keys and while lifting my hand up.

One day when I did this I must have hit the one in a million chance. It started rapidly counting up by itself!

I think I only got it to happen once more. I suspect the fluctuating voltage and it trying to do calculations while I was pressing keys was just enough to get some gates latched into the wrong state, somehow.
I think the average person can safely call "the use of neural networks in statistical work" AI.
I'm not an expert on municipal expenses, but I'd wager that it takes a pretty unusual cost situation to render it cheaper to pave/trench/replace more miles of road/pipe/wire and maintain more service entries to serve fewer people.
Indeed. They can process my paper forms at great expense until they stop this bullshit.
You've demonstrated you understand how to use the score to compare both inter-browser performance (analogous to the amount each makes per year) as well as individual browser performance improvements (analogous to the amount of the raise). Seems pretty informative to me?

If you're getting a PhD with the intention of leaving for commercial work afterwards specifically because you want a high salary, then yes, the PhD program is probably a waste of time. Case in point, all my friends stayed to get PhDs and I left to go to industry. By the time they graduated, my income was already a lot higher than their starting salaries.

However, people with PhDs have a much easier time getting promos at commercial places. They get a built in assumption of high competency, especially if the PhD is from a highly regarded institution.

But if your intention with a PhD is to become an academic, and you want to spend your time teaching or doing research, besides being necessary it's also very worthwhile. Or if you just really enjoy learning and don't care so much about salary when you're done, then it's extremely fulfilling.

The exact same thing the US is worried about with tiktok.

Data collection and the ability for the government to gain access to this data without a warent.

Also lack of transparency regarding the algorithms which are built to cause maximum reaction / interaction which leads to radicalism.

Facebook was famously implicated in the genocide against the Rohingya ethnic minority in Myanmar.
Many times constitution was suspended in US during wartime [1]. Also, school shooting has a very low likelihood of causing US to collapse. Losing an adversarial war against a rival of similar size with nuclear weapons and a brainwashing mechanism via TikTok will. I for one do not want to live in a world controlled by China, where the state can weld me inside my apartment [2], find random reasons to jail me then extract organs from me [3] or many of the atrocious things China does.

Artificial Intelligence has nothing to do with the capabilities, and everything to do with the approach. If I hand-crafted an algorithm that could reliably spot stop signs in pictures by applying a mountain of heuristics that I came up with, AI would not be an appropriate label. If I instead made a program that could detect stop signs after being fed thousands of pictures of stop signs, then I'm comfortable calling that machine learning, or AI, because the approach was based off modelling intelligence, i.e., the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
How about: We're not sure the team will be comfortable working with someone so experienced.

Pretty obvious what that was about.

Houston is just second-to-last in line in Texas to face the affordability crisis (followed by San Antonio) because they have the highest capacity automobile infrastructure, but it's already regularly ranked with the worst traffic in the United States.

While I agree that Houston does a lot of things right, especially just literally allowing density, I do not think they would survive an influx of folks while maintaining affordability any better than Austin has.
Either this is not political or everything is.
