A remarkably astute analysis based on very limited information.

My job was to use information retrieval, machine learning / AI, auction theory, and pragmatic statistical sampling to both accurately model and stably price ads inventory and later dollarized organic inventory to drive specific policy agendas about what got clicked on, dwelled on, commented on, seen in recommender systems in equilibrium to achieve specific policy agendas of various kinds but all ultimately tying out at top-line revenue and engagement metrics.

It did not take me long to work out that PII was useless in this pursuit, there’s no entropy in the off-property like button table as concerns CTR.

It did not take me long to realize that I didn’t want to know what it was useful for.

I easily had the seniority to run queries against Hive tables that I had an explicit personal priority of never querying.

The answer is convenience. Why use dropbox when you can run Nextcloud? You can say the same thing about large companies. Why does Apple use Slack (or whatever they use) when they could build their own? Why doesn't Stripe build their own data centers?

If I had a need for an AI voice for a project I would pay the $9 a month, use it, and be done. I might have the skills to set this up on my machine but it would take me hours to get up to speed and get it going. It just wouldn't be worth it.

It doesn't seem plausible for something to have same social, emotional, and intellectual behavior without experiencing "qualia", because much of our behavior is expressing and talking about those experiences. I see "qualia" just as a second-order perception of the sensory-information processing within our brains. A little like a program profiler profiling its own process would observe parts of its own execution and process that information. I see no particular mystery in such an inner self-perception. At the same time, given what influences human behavior, it is an essential part for explaining that behavior. Philosophical zombies are an impossibility.
No matter one's opinions on Drew, I think his work as a maintainer and his commitment to open-source speak for themselves.

Your second point is actually the answer I was looking for, thank you.
I think what's more fundamental than just answering P vs NP, is what exactly makes boolean functions hard to (pseudo)inverse? And it's the latter where answering (unless the answer comes from an oracle) the former will help.

And this question is crucial, because everything we can ask computers (or restated, math with real-world applications) can be rephrased in terms of finding a solution to a SAT instance. It can be a very large instance but if there is a practical way of approaching the problem, it shouldn't matter.

I think you're assuming that future computer scientists and mathematicians will continue to run (many different) algorithms, and I don't. I think there might be a single algorithm, a SAT solver, which will subsume all others.

Try fasting. No, seriously. I hate food and I love the dopamine surge of results from brainwork, so I get addicted getting things done after waking up to the point of not eating till the afternoon. The unintentional fasting keeps your anxiety levels slightly elevated and gives a very productive state to body and mind. You could learn, code, work, apply for jobs or universities etc. Make a list of things you want to get done and start physically checking it off one at a time. It becomes addictive to keep a streak going. Knock down as many as you can before you eat. Once you eat, you calm down and may even get sleepy (take a nap if you’ve gotten enough done). Eating proteins only may keep your brain productive, but carbs will crash you to sleepiness. I hammer through and have my best big meal before bed time - that’s when you get a nice night of sleep and wake with a fresh brain ready to take on the list.
Really cool implementation. Thanks for the feedback as well!

There’s a balance of risks in T&G vs full-stop taxi-backs. On the day of the individual flight, taxi backs are surely safer. But if they let you get in less than half of the circuits (as would be common at busy GA airports) or if they cause your proficiency training to become twice as expensive, the overall system safety difference isn’t clear.

I come down on the side of being willing to do touch and goes in any aircraft (and have shared circuits with heavy jets doing touch and goes, so it’s done at all levels).

From the video, this does look like a botched climb from either an intended T&G or bounced landing after a series of T&Gs, so I’ve got to agree with your point about the “that day” safety here.

That's a fair point. Frankly, I don't know what to say. Should we only promote studies that have been replicated? My first thought tells me that the answer should be "yes". At the same time, that would mean we would never talk about certain studies, because I don't think we can reach a 100% degree of replication.

What do you think?
Thanks for vouching.

How do you figure subscriptions misalign incentives? The alternative, of selling upgrades, incentivizes devs to focus on new shiny shit that teases well. I instead rather they focus on making something I get value out of consistently.
Hello this sounds like me, Im only a few years older.

I also have many things I would like to do but have always settled for good enough. I feel like I don’t have enough drive/motivation?

One thing thats changed recently is I started eating a lot more protein and working out more consistently. I was definitely under eating before. Im not suggesting crazy diets or major changes. But I just started eating more, not skipping breakfast etc and going to the gym/cardio.

Ive noticed it’s given me a boost of energy that I never had. Maybe its placebo or temporary. But I swear Ive noticed a difference.

Another thing is planning. Im an awful planner and I have refused to use a planner since grade school. This is one thing Im currently trying to change as well. When you have X things you’re trying to do, planning it out removes much of the mental work of “what to do next”. Instead of thinking about what to do, you can instead do something useful.

Last thing, is just do it. I get wrapped up in my head with over analyzing and bring myself down to not even try. Ive been trying to push that voice out and “just do it”.

I am far far from becoming an overachiever. However I definitely relate to your post. So I thought maybe this might help you.
As a rule ... it decidedly is. Yes, it can be done, but the overwhelming majority of time, it isn't,
Thanks. Are these benefits based on your experience/direct knowledge or supposition?

My daughter has missed 10 days of school because of a lingering cough even when not actively sick. She doesn’t sleep well and teachers now consider her disruptive if coughing in class. I think th expectation is no longer to go to school with sniffles and a box of tissues.
It is the job of senior Engineering leadership to take these considerations into account.

Some decide to purchase, others decide to build in house, and others yet decide to design in an agnostic manner.

Software is a tool used to build products.

We can nerd out about a hammer all we want, but if you aren't a hammer manufacturer, a major hammer buyer, or someone who has critically contributed to the R&D of the entire hammer industry, your opinions are basically useless.

I personally don't care what hammer is used so long as my house is built.

Ahh, climate change. The go-to explanation for absolutely any negative phenomena observed in the world.
Before covid we'd ask our kids what they did and we'd get the usual super brief explanation but would assume that kids just didn't want to go into detail or didn't remember. After covid, we realized that their answer was closer to the truth than all the learning we imagined in our heads.

To some degree elementary school has always been a large part daycare and small part teaching. But the one big change from my experience is that amount of standardized testing even 3rd graders do. Every month or two there's another day or two spent on testing and then several days before that getting them ready for it. I can't imagine being a teacher trying to craft lesson plans around all that.

I knew U-boats operated off the Eastern US coast but I did not know they operated so much in the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean.

Tangential, I've been watching this documentary series called Battlefield (highly recommended) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21qqkC1cWvE and they mention later versions of U-boats had a 12,000+ mile range. So the Gulf of Mexico is within range especially if they sortied from France.

I'm sorry to hear that. My best friend, since we were 2 years old, died at 29 in a motorcycle accident the same year he took over the family business. He got clipped by a car that swerved into his lane to avoid another car and that was all it took to take him away from us.

> Maybe we should instead acknowledge that "managed-hosting-supported FOSS database" is an impossible business model and try something different next time.

The business model these companies chose was fundamentally broken. It's only fundamentally broken for a specific class of backend tooling.

I believe that future database/infrastructure projects should continue to use the FOSS licenses we all know and love and find a sustainability model that works without compromising the freedoms that make free software free. Postgres, Linux, SQLite, the BSDs, and many other projects in similar spaces have led the way.
Well everyone pays an extra ~3% on all of their transactions for that privilege, plus whatever costs retailers factor in for rampant credit card fraud. I wouldn't consider Visa the gold standard of how financial transactions should work the whole system is very clunky and prone to abuse.
A ~20 minute video on a particular number cropping up all over the place and not one mention of the frequency illusion / Baader–Meinhof phenomenon feels at least a little bit disingenuous.

I don't doubt that it crops up a lot when people are asked for a random number between 1 and 100 (especially if, as per the video, you ignore 1, 2, 7, 42, 69, 73, and 77, and sometimes 99 and 100), but it's pretty disappointing for a big channel based around science like Veritasium to not even mention that if you became obsessed with and went hunting for special properties of a different number between 1 and 100 you'd almost certainly find them.
What’s ironic about not believing in perpetual growth with finite resources?
All of those situations existed in decades past. Why do parents think that school doesn't provide as much value as they used to?
Nope. Not a cold, although that was the excuse :).

And yeah, I simply just needed to be away from school. I guess I’m more so making a point that during the pandemic there was also probably a ton of students who realized they can learn without school, and it might even be better for them.
Discussion of gender seems to be pretty in-line with kindergarten education from what I remember 20 years ago. Hell, we even "voted" in the 1996 presidential election (I voted for the most attractive person, Bill Clinton).
In my experience using redis, one of its better attributes is how easy it is to manage and scale. I've never scaled it to say, Facebook levels, but at that scale, I'm not sure managed services make much sense either.
The only concerning thing is the speed, it's not geological.
You might be able to argue that Postgres' foreign data is a different form of pluggable storage engine. E.g. you can even use a CSV file as a backing store for a table with file_fdw.

> If it works manually, but not via Terraform, it's the fault of Terraform (or possibly the underlying Go SDK, small disclaimer). The ARM API is used by the Azure portal, as well as all the SDK's.

that's not true. sure the portal uses the same APIs, mostly. it also uses its own hidden APIs for some functionality. so it is entirely possible for it to work via the portal, but not work via any API mechanism.

e.g. uploading PKCS12 certs to (IIRC) automation accounts. the UI requires a password, and also sends the cert to some back end middleware to change the cert itself. while via the REST API you can upload the cert without a password, and it remains unmodified. (without the modification process some valid PKCS12 certs will not show up on the runners, and therefore can't be used for auth.)

Note: Azure support was not helpful in resolving this matter, since if it worked via PowerShell (the cert generation and upload), then it was considered an issue with our code (ignoring the fact that our code (and libraries used) remained unchanged throughout). though changing API behavior even when specifying an API version in the request is typical for Azure.
Benchmarks are not the reason people choose PostgreSQL over MySQL. I have never even bothered to benchmark the two for any project that could have used either.

Features, better ACID (at least historically) and maybe better standards compliance.

The big one for me is being able to run schema changes in transactions, which makes it easy to roll back a failed migration.
The same thing happened to me a year ago. I had an AWS account I barely used except for an SQS queue. Somehow, someone got in, changed the password, and set up a machine learning pipeline. I couldn't turn it off since I was locked out of the account and I racked up a $20k bill.

I also have no idea how they got it. I had 2FA set up and only had one service key created that I used in a Heroku environment variable.

Here's what happened:

- I contacted customer service. It took them several days to get back to me. Initially they told me they couldn't help and I would be responsible for any charges per their ToS as it's my responsibility to secure the account.

- After some back and forth, they reset my account credentials (the email was changed from me@mycompany.com to uuid@random.ru so it was obviously an account takeover).

- They listed out a list of services that had been started after the compromise and told me it was my responsibility to disable them and then tell them I did so.

- I cleaned things up the best I could and then told the service agent. They said I missed a few things and gave me more clear directions.

- By this point I had a $70k bill. Things had been running for about a week.

- I asked about getting a refund and they said they could do that but only after I set my account up with a proper security setup, which involved creating a bunch of separate small user accounts with minimal permissions.

- I did that, they refunded the charges, and then I deleted my account.

Long story short, it took a while and they weren't initially too helpful but ended up being very nice and helpful in the end.

Why would you prioritize making your kids sit in school over taking them and doing something fun like a vacation, given the option?

My first thought reading the headline was that more people are realizing the irrelevance of school and work, and prioritizing other things.

How would you possibly behave the same without inner experience? There is a direct causal connection between inner experience and how one behaves. Your talking about inner experience just being one particularly obvious example.
He's been trolling regularly for a week or so.
If you signed a CLA to contribute, you've granted Redis a broad license to do whatever they want with your contribution. If you contributed to a BSD licensed project, then you contributed to a project who's licensing terms says "do whatever you want, just retain the copyright notice, and this license is not an endorsement".

You basically have no grounds for suing, especially since the re-licensing is not retroactive. The exact contributions that you provided as still available in the exact form and license that you contributed them to.

You need to be much more specific about what you want to prevent.

Stockholders always want the company to survive, over short term profits. The problem is that stockholder interests are not the same as the custodian interests.

Custodians get paid on the basis of inmediate performance.

Thats the broken link.

Custodians are thus nominating board members that are incentivized by short term decision making. The nomination is based on relationships and based on trust.

And then you get in trouble.

If board members were elected as a sort of election by ultimate stockholders (which include actual employees, in fact) you would see a different board. Therefore different CEO.
Enron is an interesting example: first, you had to go back a quarter of a century for the example whereas that kind of thing happens routinely in the cryptocurrency space, and the response wasn’t just to shrug but to pass stricter regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley) to prevent it from happening again.

Remember, the claim isn’t that the traditional finance world is without problems but rather that people who deliberately seek out high-risk investments do share some responsibility when those fail. Someone who trusted Enron’s public audit reports was more comprehensively failed than someone who sought out a company specifically incorporated in the Bahamas to avoid compliance with US regulations!

The paper has some handwaving about EM fields. It would have been nice if they did the math.
Because there is nothing to make assumptions about. In the example code, both multiplication and division have a scalar on one side, there's no possible ambiguity of behavior. But there is the eternal question of terminology: do you specify dimensions by "axis" or "dim" and does your API actually use both terms in different places?

(that's what I think the GP meant, anyway).
It's funny, because a few thousand years ago, casting lots (like rolling dice) was considered a totally valid way of divining God's will. I guess this is a more elegant deity for a more... civilized age.
