I don't think it works for them, I think they are just entrenched with good moats.

What I think actually happens is they get to prove all sorts of ridiculous things are good management and that all sorts of managers need to be coming up with complex ways to manage what would be obvious in a situation where reality was still visible underneath.

In the end they pay a lot more than if they had competent individual contributors and less darwinian fights to the death in their org charts. But having a better organization is not really compatible with the incentive system involved.
Nice! Is there a Python library?
If the models from the original CGI are stored and not just the generated media, then one should in fact be able to digitally remaster a CGI movie.

Edit the models to ease the parsimony of triangles, rework the textures , render on a modern engine with cleaned up effects, higher DPI and color accuracy, repeat until done.

It could even be a model for buying defunct CGI studios for their data and rights. In case some cult classic they worked on wants to be rereleased some day at 16K.
The existing precedent seems sensible,

> For decades, software developers have relied, correctly, on the settled view that a work is not derivative under copyright law unless it is "substantially similar" to a preexisting work in both ideas and expression.

To say that anything we might come up with is derivative because it happens to target some other API or system would eliminate almost all ability to create, in the software world especially. What we build stop a thing is our thing.

Yeah, I was told that a few corporations do most of the CO2 emission, so now I just fly where I want to and eat what I want to. Very liberating to know I can't do anything.

Open CDP - Turn any data warehouse into a customer data platform (CDP)
Repo: [https://github.com/Multiwoven/multiwoven]

Data movement has become a critical part of the modern data stack. more and more companies are evolving within the data movement space. The entire data movement landscape can be broken down into below product categories:

- Data storage:

1. Data warehouse: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, and a few others.

- Data Management:

1. ETL: Fivetran, Stitch, Airbyte, and a few others.

- Data Activation:

1. Reverse ETL: Hightouch, Census, Rudderstack, and a few others.

2. CDP: Salesforce, Segment, mParticle, and a few others.

While Data storage and data management have been around for a while, the data activation space especially the reverse ETL and CDP that are warehouse native are relatively new.

Today more and more teams are aggregating customer data from multiple sources into a data warehouse or data lake. The large data warehouse companies like Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, and Redshift have grown significantly in the past couple of years.

Aggregating data into a data warehouse is only the first step. while business functions like marketing, sales, and customer support need to access to this data data which is often back-office and not easily accessible.

Multiwoven is an Open Source CDP & Reverse ETL for your data warehouse. It is lightweight because you can cheery pick the features you need and it and run it for specific use-cases.

Ex: If you need to sync data from your data warehouse to your CRM, you can use the reverse ETL feature.

If you need customer360, and audience segmentation, you can use the CDP feature.

Open for early feedback and contributions.

Not to bash on the product but I really see the POC here. Nix itself already provides most of the benefits. https://mynixos.com/ has a similar proposition but concentrates more about full system replication. So please tell me what the differences are.
Thermodynamic entropy isnt information in the relevant sense.

There's a wide class of computational mysticism born of people going around and equivocating between "information" as it means radically different things where it is used.

thermodynamic entropy (a real number) != information theory entropy (bits) != information in csi != information in stat mech' != information in QM != information in a turing machien !=. ...

This is basically pseudoscience at this point. If you hear people talking about "information" as if its defined in a general sense (ie., equivocating across physics, computer science, etc.), they have no clue what they're talking about.

Eg., the "entropy" of real-valued quantum states as measured by integer-valued notions of entropy is 1 bit (the measured state is UP,DOWN) -- but QM requires the state be real-valued (having infinite information in the computability sense).

These kinds of information are not measuring the same thing, and largely irrelevant to each other.
Physics academia has the same problem. Maybe worse. In some physics subfields, postdocs are just writing Python code most of the day. There's a lot of financial incentive for the best ones to simply ditch physics.
It’s the algorithm. You’re playing a different game when your content has to compete with and grab attention on its own vs when a gatekeeper decides to broadcast you at 3pm to every TV.
Apparently an urban legend, although the article is not suuuuper clear about it:

> These stories persist to this day, although all are false. The truth is that the Stanley Steamer was constructed in such a way that it was impossible for it to blow up.
Haven't used MSW, but don't people use it for mocking APIs? Isn't that apples and oranges? If your stories need data, you can always still use MSW. But otherwise when it comes to testing (in the app vs. Stories) I'd agree. Not exactly testing, but the play feature beats E2E if you want to show a smooth demo for clients/fellow devs.

As far as live reload, you're right but only once you've achieved the state. If you're firing up storybook or moving between components, you can already have any state ready to go (or quickly set with the controls). If you're in the actual app and don't have something like Redux Dev Tools, you have to manually go through the steps.... which can be a pain.

That said, so far I'm only using Storybook for the "component library" use case. And for that it's a big improvement from the previous DIY app I had.
> But bad drivers getting higher premiums is good for everyone.

Not necessarily. In many parts of the United States, a car is the only viable mode of transport. If you price the bad drivers out of the insurance market, they will forgo insurance all together. Then, if they cause a loss, they will be uninsured and the other driver's insurance will have to pay for the loss (or spend resources in costly suits) anyhow. So, then good drivers premiums will need to go up to compensate for the extra "bad drivers can't afford insurance" risk that good driver's carry. We end up in a similar situation in a roundabout manner but with the added element that now all our data is stored on everyone's servers.

Is 25% fair? Why 25%? If you’re a business who spent most of its profits paying others who in turn paid taxes on that, should you pay that much?

What part of your revenue is taxable? Can you defer some of that revenue? Is it revenue?

Are flat taxes fair to all levels of society? Does a billionaire paying 25% hurt just as much as a single mother working minimum wage (the consensus for the longest time has been no, and why we have progressive tax brackets).

I can go on. Current status quo is not great, but it’s the best bad option we have, IMO

> Imagine trying to suspend the 2nd amendment because of school shootings.

2A is for well regulated militias, from an era when the government struggled to raise and maintain a standing army, and wasn't sure an army could even be trusted. 2A was antiquated long before schools started having to teach toddlers survival tactics.
How do you explain Falcon 9's low development cost, low flight/operations cost, and demonstrated reliability history, when compared with similarly capable launch platforms?

And given that Starship is being developed in a similar manner to F9 (iterate quickly, big explosions in prototypes is a great learning experience), what in particular makes you think the process will go wildly different to the way F9 did?
I think in the last couple of years more established people are getting back to Academia. The sad part is not SV pricing out academics, industry has massively influenced academic conferences and has resulted in a lot of herding and a lot less tolerance to novel/fragile ideas. If you have not bench marked your idea on some large databases (costs multiple thousands of dollars) your idea is not worth publishing. This has resulted in explosion of incremental ideas and reduced the tendency of people to explore on their own which is perceived to be too risky.
Somehow I think if your phone and computer updated automatically to the new timezone, and your boss told you what time to get to the office the next day, you'd somehow figure it out without much trouble. People do this every single day when they travel, and many places already do this twice a year with daylight saving time shifts

It would feel weird for a while for people no doubt but times already are arbitrary anyways. Why does it matter if you sleep from 1-9 or 13-21?
Perhaps it was at one point. Nowadays "safe space" means something totally different, and unfortunately it describes academia rather well.
Communism isn't the problem here and it'd do you well to build an argument that isn't backed by that at every turn.

The interesting variation discovered on the Internet Archive copy of the game looks an awful lot like maybe some kid back in the day was poking around on the computer at school trying to cheat at lemonade stand or something. And that just happens to be the floppy that was later archived and became the most widely distributed copy ever. God, I hope it wasn’t me.

So my new thought: is this a good game hack? I think if it were being played competitively in a classroom, as this game commonly was, it could give someone with knowledge of its behavior an advantage. I wonder if there is more to the story!
This is great technology, simple and effective. I’ve spent many hours reverse engineering to see how effective and expensive it might be. I’ve found it’s very cost effective but heat can be hard to calculate. i like that they did a prototype. i think i’ll do one at some point. for an individual house it makes more sense to improve my insulation but i think ill still build a small version for fun.
You described hell.
Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, sometimes tearing, Tadashi will explore a diversity of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry through elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami to medical devices and an ‘h-principle’. Much of the show consists of table-top demonstrations, which you can try later with friends and family.

So, take a sheet of paper. . .

Tadashi Tokieda is a professor of mathematics at Stanford. He grew up as a painter in Japan, became a classical philologist (not to be confused with philosopher) in France and, having earned a PhD in pure mathematics from Princeton, has been an applied mathematician in England and the US; all in all, he has lived in eight countries so far. Tadashi is very active in mathematical outreach, notably with the African Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
It's a peeve of mine when people talk about the "CCP" like this, almost universally in a negative context--like they're trying to invoke the specter of communism in a scary way. Maybe you didn't mean it that way? Why say "CCP" rather than just "China"?
I tried to dissect this paper on my recent 6h flight. Despite a decade of research in prostate cancer genomics I could not figure out what is going on. the results are both vague and at odds with established knowledge. the computational approaches complex and impenetrable. I sent it to my students as an example of computational over cooking.
I am failing to persuade my brother of this. If someone desperately wants to live in a single-family home an hour away from the city center, they should want the city to be nice and dense and lots of cheap housing with great transit, because that will also make their dream home cheaper!

How about mandating a big orange safety ball on the spout of the neti pot to prevent it going into nostrils?
That is a much lesser punishment than what the US is doing in this thread. A fine that is a small but non-insignficant percentage of annual revenue is a measured response when you want to punish bad behavior but allow businesses to still operate within the jurisdiction.

Restricting business operation altogether is a response a country gives when they see the other party as extremely adversarial, which is a few orders of magnitude above what EU fines are to Big Tech.

Big difference
I get that but I dislike when this is spoken about like it’s a panacea that applies to everyone. Atleast qualify those comments.

>Is there some major change we can make to our society, on a political and perhaps even social level, that might prevent these infections from spreading?

It's already widely know that distilled water is the way to use a neti pot. Doctors that recommended the neti pot to me were very explicit about only using distliled water with it. It's printed on the box and the instructions for the neti pots that it's for use with distilled water only. If people hear or read those words and then just fill it with tap water, then that's Darwinism at work.
Los Angeles has a housing shortage. It also has a car traffic problem a d argubly needs 40 train/subway lines, tons of bike infra, and re-zoning so more small business can open in walking distance to people. building twice ssany homes won't work if we can move around twice as many people
You don't even know what false equivalence means apparently. Yeah, the obnoxious prank videos far pre-date TikTok. See what I mean about you having no idea what you're talking about and just clutching pearls like "concerned" morons ranting about how D&D is ruining the fabric of society? You're literally bringing as much evidence and credibility as them. Really sad how "hackers" are so quick to censor things they can't comprehend. It seems "hackernews" is closer to "karennews" than anything else these days. "Why won't anyone think of the children!?"
My brain auto corrected it to Arnold Schwarzenegger. Sometimes I wonder if the human brain is just another LLM.
If you want to be sceptical about SpaceX, why focus on the one thing they've proven they are good at? If Starship fails I have a hunch it will be for reasons not directly related to engineering, like unstable billionaire tantrums or demand not materializing in time, or simply politics.

As an historical point, qualified immunity is actually a softening of the harsher and much older doctrine of sovereign immunity (ie, “the king cannot be sued”). Congress relinquished some of the immunity state actors enjoyed, for instances where they violated a person’s constitutional rights. This left open the question of what happens if as-yet unrecognized rights were violated:

> The evolution of qualified immunity began in 1871 when Congress adopted 42 U.S.C. § 1983, which makes government employees and officials personally liable for money damages if they violate a person’s federal constitutional rights. State and local police officers may be sued under § 1983. Until the 1960s, few § 1983 lawsuits were successfully brought. In 1967, the Supreme Court recognized qualified immunity as a defense to § 1983 claims. In 1982, the Supreme Court adopted the current test for the doctrine. Qualified immunity is generally available if the law a government official violated isn’t “clearly established.”

If qualified immunity applies, money damages aren’t available even if a constitutional violation has occurred. If qualified immunity doesn’t apply, while the government employee or official technically is responsible for money damages, the government entity virtually always pays. So qualified immunity protects states and local governments from having to pay money damages for actions not yet deemed unconstitutional by a court.

It's cool to see a minimal implementation of the lazy evaluation semantics
I understand what you are saying in the rigorous sense, but I think what matters is a practical analysis.

You are probably imagining things like Facebook and twitter being arms of Americas propaganda machine.

Russia's machine successfully got a powerful faction in America to turn our tools inward to be used on Americans against American interests. America is now gridlocked and unable to project power. Not to stop russia, not to stop israel, not to stop China, not to marshal our allies.

Russia has compromised our oligarchs (like Musk and Thiel), and co-opted their power to be used against Americans.

It doesn't matter if you have a slingshot or an M16. What matters is if you get to eat venison from your hunt the next day. The hunting has less to do with the weapon and more to do with the hunter.

Your model of nationality is monolithic. Oligarchs are trans-nationalits and act solely based on whats in their own self interest. Many oligarchs literally wield the resource or nations. Elon has more money than 150 different country's GDP. So if you want to analyze a nations intelligence stance you have to first look at the state of its aristocracy.

The cold war was largely about authoritarianism vs democracy. Democracy is clearly in decline. Authoritarianism is clearly on the rise. Given that these are understood to be the main geopolitical goals of the east and west, I feel very confident about saying that we are being out competed. Ukraine was invaded and China is marshaling an army while openly talking about how they are going to use it. Our main geopolitical adversaries are telling us that we are weak and vulnerable. If they are rational actors, then you shouldn't be feeling very confident about the state of America's intelligence apparatus. That's not feedback to just throw away and ignore. Throwing away that feedback is using hope as a strategy.

Our enemies are telling us they think we are weak, not that we are fundamentally sound but got surprised.
IceBear went out of business with the opposite tech: tanks of water storing the cold generated from excess AC cycles.

Cheap electricity can make cold, and then a fan can convert the cold water into cold air during peak hours when electricity was costlier.

Fans still took electricity to run, but it'd only be a few hundred watts to run air-conditioning rather than kilowatts of power.

The point I was trying to make is this, the fear driven conformal behavioral training or we can even call it draining in this case during the formative years is making many people lean towards their zombie mode and is killing their critical questioning faculty. Even simple decisions like what phone I would use are shaped by the green tick marks and peer perception.
Reading the Musk biography, it seems like they just had the right people who really knew the Chinese government try extra hard to convince them to grant the exception to Tesla.

I personally think its more than that. We have firms here in the US that tear down the Teslas, deeply analyze the cars and sell the reports to whoever will buy (essentially other car companies). The Chinese are snapping up all the Tesla reports and multiple firms that do this work are reporting that the Chinese only want Tesla, they are offered info on the other OEMs and they don't care at all.

It seems like the Chinese know that Tesla is their primary competition. We see it in their actions as well. When Tesla announced "giga castings" for their cars, the Chinese companies were the first to jump on that train as fast as possible. Everyone else was still debating wether or not if it was worth the cost.
