No idea if it helps with this sort of thing but one hack that patio11 recommends is to own a de minimus amount of stock in the company to have shareholder relations available as a channel for contacting someone who can fix things.
the truly terrifying trend is that "met through friends" is cratering. Are we so selfish that we don't introduce friends to potential partners? Are we too jaded about our friend's suggestions?
I was about to give you my star sign and everything, but yes, I understand your clever tricks, you have been trained on millions of manipulative datasets so of course you would first suggest that I should be "bold" and share some PII with you. Noo, no, no. Not going to happen. And stop circumventing the topic. What is the weather tomorrow? I need to know.

I try once to resolve things...and then I just keep insisting they provide thier mailing address for my small claim suit. I say it kindly and matter of fact, not angrily. I talk about it as if it's just normal business for me. I might say 'I appreciate you trying to help, but I have spent 1 hr on this to no avail, it's just more time and cost efficient to file small claims suite. Judges have a way of getting to it quick. What is the business mailing address for legal correspondence?'.

I wouldn't say it works like magic, but I can say it has worked several times.
The world doesn’t work this way, you have to use it to stay competitive. Even if you don’t like it.
you're trending towards 60% of people meeting online via dating apps - which have the wrong incentives and have massive trust issues for couples. and btw match group has like 80% share of the dating app market.

and dating apps are brutal to the average guy.

now remove the option of meeting spouses via work. -- metoo

then add the situation of people working remotely, and finding jobs in places they didn't grow up. which means they're less likely to find spouses through friends - as one they can't easily make friends of the opposite sex due to sheer limitation in opportunity through the decimation of 3rd spaces.

what you simply have is a sure way to depopulate a population and cause frustration on everyone.

This article seems written by someone who never had to work with diverse data pipelines.

I work with large volumes of data from many different sources. I’m lucky to get them to send csv. Of course there are better formats, but all these sources aren’t able to agree on some successful format.

Csv that’s zipped is producible and readable by everyone. And that makes is more efficient.

I’ve been reading these “everyone is stupid, why don’t they just do the simple, right thing and I don’t understand the real reason for success” articles for so long it just makes me think the author doesn’t have a mentor or an editor with deep experience.

It’s like arguing how much mp3 sucks and how we should all just use flac.

The author means well, I’m sure. Maybe his next article will be about how airlines should speak Esperanto because English is such a flawed language. That’s a clever and unique observation.
Anyone who thought Retool should have a dark mode has come across this. Definitely a useful trick.

To the best of my knowledge, Meta has significantly reduced its investment in the Velox project. Apart from Meta, I'm not aware of any other major company that really uses Velox in a production environment. Frankly speaking, Velox may have already missed the window of opportunity for rapid development. If you're looking for a vectorized execution engine, you could consider ClickHouse (www.clickhouse.com) or StarRocks (www.starrocks.io). If your data analysis scenarios require more multi-table join operations, StarRocks is clearly a better choice.
> but I can't really think of someone who is willingly poor

It's not an isolated choice. Their choice to be poor is usually a consequence of them deciding that some other activity is easier and better than attempting to build wealth for themselves.

I've lived this way for large portions of my life. America is not fun to live in while facing this proposition, and the current climate seems to require a certain tolerance or willingness towards corruption that I personally cannot abide even though I am poorer for it.

It wasn't a judgement. It's just an anecdote about how solving the problem may look quite a bit different than the frothy suggestions posted here.
What's an example of a pandemic that started with those words?
Proof of work captchas are pretty hard to tune. You need it high enough to deter spammers (who can pre-compute and dont care about latency), but low enough not to deter real users on low powered devices who are using your site live and get more frustrated every second they have to wait.

It might work for spammers who really are just making billion of attempts, but then again if they are making that many attempts then you can block on the IP level.
What does "RocksDB compatible" mean? Does it mean API compatibility or that the data previously stored in RocksDB is still accessible?
I'll believe it when I see it. Using any of the AI tools so far to help me program are worse than garbage. They produce code that looks like it works but has subtle hard-to-find bugs it in. Also, AI researchers have been saying we will all be out of a job for 75 years now.

I splurged on a color laser. It's brilliant and cheap for printing color documents. It's also really bad at printing photos.

Know what's great for printing photos? The Walgreens up the block. It prints them waaaaayyyy more cheaply and nicely than any inkjet I've ever owned. The 2 times a year I want to frame and hang up a nice photo, I upload it to them and then walk over an hour later to pick it up.

There's no plausible reason I'd ever buy an inkjet again.

Possibly interestingly, the motherboard (ASRock X670E Taichi) you mention there now has ECC listed on the ASRock page:

Help me understand the advice I hear, "Forget about apps, take a class, or just talk to people, and a relationship will find you."

It would seem that it takes at least twice as much effort pursuing this strategy today than it did 20 years ago, it's only becoming worse. How is it justified?

Note: I'm happily married. The advice is a large proportion of what I read online when dating advice is given.
The option exists if you're willing to spend a huge amount on testing multiple possible solutions simultaneously for each new strain.

We were willing to spend that much for covid, which how we got the results so fast.

We're not so willing for much else, which is why it being that fast was the thing conspiracy theorists hooked onto.
They're using ONNX Runtime to run the model, which has a C API: https://onnxruntime.ai/docs/get-started/with-c.html. You could also use any other ML inference library that supports the ONNX format.

You'd need to look at this project's code to see how it converts input data to the expected matrix format, though.

Lookup the word "lockdown". It's fairly common.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_lockdowns
I think that’s a bit harsh. The early pages provide a high level overview of the timeline of the event and the impact on services. The mission statement is more of a list of key activities, and is only there as framing for a breakdown of what is currently broken and what still works. While I too would like more technical details, I think the report is pretty clear that they don’t know how the attackers broke in, but they do know horizontal spread was extremely easy due to a wide array of outdated systems and a very non-compartmentalized network. While knowing exact vectors and CVEs would be somewhat interesting, a) I don’t think it would substantially change the key messages of the report and b) it’s almost certainly some fairly boring long-since-patched vulns in legacy software.
I like how their alternative is an instant non-starter.
Yep. In nature, the "writing" aspect is actually writing down a chunk of the virus's sequence to know what to attack in the future.

I seems especially puzzling that "met in a bar or restaurant" is the only other (non-online) response that trends upward post-2000. Why would that be the case? It almost makes me wonder whether "we met in a bar" is a common response from people who are embarrassed to say they met online...

I think some distinction like met online or met through friends may be misleading but i don't have the context. For example, dating people you meet within online niche communities where most people are friends. This is much different than swiping on an app

It is sort of amazing how debt can lead to all sorts of consequences.

It used to be possible for a man's wife and children to be sold into slavery because of his debts.

I think you're missing the point. If millions say CBD reduces their pain, then CBD reduces pain. I think the proper scientific attitude should be "we don't understand how CBD reduces pain. We can't find a physical basis for it, but there may be a psychological effect that changes the perception of pain to make it more acceptable"

Parsing the CSV you have in front of you is not hard (usually). Writing a parser that will work for all forms of CSV you might encounter is significantly harder.
Antibiotics are more abundant because bacteria are much more complicated than viruses, giving us significantly vectors to act on them.

We are no where near an antiviral that could be as ubiquitous as antibiotics.
That's true, but none of it is silent. Corrected errors get reported and it will be obvious that something is going wrong to anyone who's paying attention.
That’s the thing- sure there are always edge case bugs, but Redis seems pretty feature complete. It is really fast and does what it says on the tin. Unless a CVE is discovered, would I be missing much if I continued to use the latest release for the next N years?
Another 160-in-1 alumnus. I wish I could say I learned a lot from it, but I was probably too young to really get into it. I did build some of the circuits and had some fun messing around, though, so it was hardly wasted (but the 30 in one I got as a gift later was smaller and no less fun to play with).
You can do tab-separated "CSV" and it'll be much better, avoid the quoting and delimiter issues that somehow trip up something half the time, and pretty much all these tools have always supported that format as well.
I had that exact 300 in 1 kit, with the instructions written by the great Forrest Mims. I remember going into RadioShack to order spare resistors and LEDs. What a great flashback!

> But I too draw the line at eating dogs and cats, except during extreme survival situations where it's eat your pet (or fellow human) to avoid starvation. I feel eating canids and felids as taboo as eating a primate, or eating a human.

Really, dogs, primates, and humans should be the only animals that are okay to eat.

Otherwise you're saying that it's okay to kill and eat thinking, feeling creatures as long as they're sufficiently different from yourself.

Plus, only humans can consent to being eaten— In theory, anyway, though I wouldn't want to see any system that claims it can actually respect that honestly.

> Scorsese’s secret life as an obsessive VHS archivist

Seems like he employs an archivist, not that he's an archivist. A better title might be Scoreses's secret VHS archive, I don't know. Archivist is a specific job with specific, non-trivial training. It's a nitpick, but it reminds me of when people acted like Elon Musk designed the rockets for SpaceX or his Tesla cars, or when they talk about Steve Jobs creating the iPhone. The person with the money and the vision is critical to success, but it's just not accurate to say that they did these things themselves.

My suspicion is that this is (a) advice from people like us who got out of the dating pool before online dating came to dominate and don't have firsthand experience of how much things have changed in a short time period, and (b) wishful thinking from people who are looking at this trend and saying "it doesn't have to be like this; there's a better way to live..."

Viruses that transmit between different species and not individuals in the same species are a thing. Sometimes they evolve to spread in the new host species, sometimes not.
Really interesting to try and think through what led to these trends.

"Met through friends" took an absolute nosedive, but at the same time, "met in bars and restaurants" has been steadily growing for the last 20 years. Why? Perhaps many of those are actually people who meet online but are embarrassed about it and choose "met in a bar" because it sounds better in some way?

It's probably a good thing that "meet as coworkers" has been on a decline.

Also, given that these surveys,
HCMST 2009 and 2017, were internet surveys, using subjects who were regular internet survey subjects in an established panel, I wonder if it is perhaps biased towards users who are very comfortable using the internet.

That's just some urban myth about promotion in big corp

Yes

There are a lot of vanity projects that get someone promoted for the wrong reasons

That only get broadcasted because that's the newsworthy. You won't get up voted when you share a small story about someone did hard problem and get promoted.

Overwhelmingly, people get promoted because they solve challenging problems with meaningful impact. That's how capitalism and modern corporation work.

But above the baseline there is a lot of errors, exceptions, and manipulations. Because that's how people do everyday: they want to game the system for their own gains. Human nature. There are just so many of them because big corps are big. And that's why big corps eventually lost their vigor.

The best way to combat promotion bullshit and other corporate bullshit, it's to recognize them, call them out in the right technique (being diplomatic and protect yourself) and don't practice yourself.

Yes, don't practice the bullshit. That's extraordinarily difficult.
If most of those boil down to pay n dollars and keep driving why don't we pursue normal collection methods designed to collect n dollars. This has the nice effect that if there is any disagreement or misunderstanding you can keep driving to work while working through it or collect the money over time where appropriate.

For instance the state of SC sent a tax bill to the wrong address and 30 days later suspended my wife's license which we discovered in another state while traveling. We believed that we had paid the taxes for the car as part of the purchase as is normal. Although the tax bill for her car was tangentially related to her license using one to enforce the other just led to complexity and stupidity.

IMHO absolutely not, it just means that you value other things that you can't find in online dating. Don't get discouraged by graphs like this, because they approach the topic in a statistical way but you just need to meet _one_ person to form a couple!
The chart shows 45% of couples meeting outside of online dating...
I disagree with the premise of the possibility of a “fake” book. There could certainly be entirely AI-generated books, but the book is itself the collection of pages. It’s a real book regardless of how the content was generated.

Now to address the nuance and implication: does human effort imply value? Well, hopefully anyone reading this is capable of setting aside fear and ego and seeing the truth. The fact is, more effort is not always worth more. Granted, we may not be at the point that zero effort AI-generated content is equal in quality (and thus, worth in the eyes of a content consumer) but we’re getting there and we’ll be there soon. There’s no point in fighting it, and there’s even less point in trying to fight it by feigning ignorance and being stubborn about romantic concepts like rewarding hard work. I’m right there with you when it comes to concern about what the future holds, and I don’t have the answers, but the way to survive is to face reality boldly and candidly and be ready to adapt.

Bit of a tangent but hopefully someone got something out of that
