I remember Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob") going on about how No-SQL will replace literally all SQL and that there is literally not a single use case for relational data and SQL. I wonder if he ever came back on that.

Now, my opinion of Martin in general is not especially high and he's a bit of a controversial figure, but it wasn't just the kids. And Martin is also all about reliable software, so that makes it even more surprising.
So true.

I used to drink a lot of pop/soda. When I initially cut back I stopped buying two liters for the house and only drank when eating out or the like. It always shocked my table mates to see me asking for a to-go cup for my drink.

But now I see those same people getting their drinks to go too, especially after the lockdowns and everywhere was offering curbside drinks.
Curvature isn't necessary here; all we need is time-orientability, so we can even be more general than a Lorentzian manifold. We can achieve time-orientability by comparing how strictly we must constrain the degrees of freedom of, for example, an adiabatically expanding or contracting cloud of gas of non-interacting test particles below some critical mass-density such that expansion will carry on forever, rather than there being some eventual recontraction. This is perfectly doable in flat spacetime. It's essentially just a problem in statistical mechanics, as we can arrange time-orientability this way without having anything to do with relativity.

We don't really need time-orientability in relativity; it is perfectly reasonable to have solutions to the field equations which are static or stable periodic (and thus there is no clear past/future). Conversely, more generally we can get time-orientability in a wide variety of dimensions other than 3+1.

Relativity just tells us that where there is some global time-orientable feature, every observer will agree what's the past and what's the future of that feature. However, complex observers may have some internal degrees of freedom providing a local notion of time-orientability which could be unaligned with the global feature (and other observers' local features).

I don't see how any of this can relate to "consciousness" though. Also, our universe really doesn't admit backwards time travellers as far as we can tell, so whether and how the wider universe "corrects" observers who have different past/future orientations is really really really academic from a physics perspective. Sean Carroll's blog had a lot about that a decade or more ago, which you can probably dig out of preposterousuniverse.com or wherever.
For that reference in particular, feels like you should really share the link as well:

Human consciousness is an important thing that we do not understand, and therefore well worth studying in itself.

Anyone who can get some sort of handle on other forms of consciousness is encouraged to investigate further, but that might not be possible until we have a better understanding of human consciousness.

One of the overlooked features of the so-called scientific revolution is that it shifted focus from "big" questions to questions of a more constrained scope, but that are amenable to investigation. This turned out to be much more effective than those preoccupied with the "big" questions might have imagined.
Sure, in those cases we emit calls to C functions. The only thing we need to know is what registers are taken as input, what registers are output and what registers are preserved.

In QEMU parlance, these are helper functions, and they have actual implementations. But for decompilation purposes, you don't need to implement them. You just need to know how they interact with the registers.
Because the law doesn't care about your cash flow, and a reasonable person would expect that the fee you pay to upkeep your server is sufficient, since that's how it works in general.

Trying to claim an extraordinary right to hosted works would require extraordinary language in the agreement so that it would not be debatable that they could use the content for whatever they want. Just the fact we disagree about what it means puts it on a bad legal footing if their intent is to have unlimited license to everything in a VM. And that's not a position any company should put itself in. But if they don't do what you worry about, they are on perfectly fine legal footing.
If you think de-federating and filterbubbling up is a good thing, you're part of the problem.

Fair enough, though it would be a VERY risky marketing strategy to create a sockpuppet Reddit account to scare senseless their most naive customers, just to generate some publicity :)
>IBM was overtaken by Nippon Telephone, was overtaken by Exxon Mobil, was overtaken by GE, was overtaken by Microsoft etc.

And where is GE these days? They even sold off their consumer appliance division to the Chinese company Haier. They still make jet engines and some other big industrial stuff, but they're not as huge as they used to be.
Absolutely not. Engineering design docs should be terse and to the point.

Documentation is not a medium where you want to tell a story, because that makes it instantly much less usable, since people will read it at random parts to attain specific information.

I started my career doing web development using PHP and mySQL. Then pivoted to something completely different for about 6-7 years as I got sick of spending all my time making stuff work in IE6. I heard it the whole nosql thing, didn't understand it but thought it sounded silly. Then came back to web dev 5 years ago and found postgres was all the hype and nobody talked about nosql any more. Glad I skipped it!
Excessive? I don't want to put monetary value on people's lives, but I don't think it's obvious that someone murdering one person has done more wrong than another who stole billions of dollars and ruined the lives of hundreds or thousands of people. Especially if any of those people committed suicide because of what happened, but even if not.
*one of the creators. Being the first committer doesn’t mean he wrote all of the thing that is today called Redis.

It’s a community effort and this is just as rude to the community that built it as they are claiming SaaS vendors are being to them by not “giving back”.

This idea that you are owed reciprocity for publishing free software is about as logically sound as expecting compensation from someone when you give them a gift.
It is not better in the slightest exactly because the people on there think they're better
Feller's Probability volume 1 is always a good remedy for wounded probabilists :) Disregard the complaints that it is old-fashioned and dive in.
The difference is that you’re not pustulating teapots on moons. You’re looking at real phenomena or projected ones (galaxies colliding) and asking how it can make sense within panpsychism.
This doesn't explain Microsoft though, as that's probably a special case. They simply eliminated the Windows QA department, and instead let users do the QA. Why not? It's not like their users are going to switch OSes.
What's your point? That there might sometimes be leftovers even if you plan to finish it? So what? People also take left overs home and sometimes never eat them. It could very well be the case that places that don't send home boxed leftovers result in less overall waste than places that do. Especially when you consider the boxes sent home as well.

No system is perfect and a culture of taking home leftovers does not necessarily reduce waste overall.
That's not true. The pricing page I link does not require an account, and after you create an account, you can access the actual provisioning UI without entering a credit card. I just did it.

The two factor is a check that you actually control the email you purport to own, it's a perfectly fine thing to do. Are you arguing against two factor by default? Are you arguing that a service shouldn't validate email addresses? Seems especially important for a service that can be used for hacking or DDOS attacks, no?
It is valid, we are talking about what humans thinks, not what is true. If humans thinks animals are conscious then they think animals are conscious, doesn't mean animals actually are conscious.

And the fact that I don't get downvoted here is evidence people here also think that animals are conscious, which supports my argument that people think animals are conscious.
> Don't take this too seriously, this is a little project for fun, if do you know how to code it's pretty easy to break the security of this.

As opposed to standard "click the traffic light" type captchas which are almost impossible for modern AI to break.

I think the doom captcha is probably more secure than standard captchas simply by virtue of its obscurity.
Who is responsible for creating, marketing and selling Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) software?

Is it staff in HR departments comprised of what HN likes to call "non-technical people"?

Did so-called "non-technical people" seek a 10x increase in the number of applicants and then enlist software developers to make it happen.

What is the story behind the spread of "ATS".
Please don't only offer registration via Google. That's bad for you. Bad for users. And very bad for the world. Yes it's cheap. And also catastrophic.
I would say "incentives". There was an incentive to do it in a way that needs not be certified, that needs no training and that does not have to be disclosed to airlines/crews. Once that incentive is there management will push it through no matter what, if there isn't a senior enough person to say "this will have dire consequences".
You are paying them! I still struggle with customizations and usually like to try things as envisioned by the chef, but some food textures I just can't do.

Unless it's a place with a certain vision/theme/morals or artsy food, they just want to make you happy.
he took two too many steps
I think the main issue is that far too many people think of consciousness in terms of a binary state (i.e. consciousness is present or not) instead of a spectrum.

Even in humans the state of being animals that possess consciousness varies over the course of time: new-born infants are in a different state of consciousness than 4 year old children, for example. Not to mention our regular fading in- and out and transitioning between various states of consciousness during our sleep cycle.

The first important step towards a better understanding that would allow proper assessment would be to develop a sound metric to allow qualifying consciousness. Doesn't have to be precise, but a scale from say 0 (non-conscious) to 100 (awake neuro-typical sober human adult) would be a great step forward IMHO.
It’s a lovely story, but given the pre-existing myth of Utnapishtim, the biblical account is basically Babylonian mythology fan fiction.
> I’ve only ever seen it done in pizza places that already have takeaway boxes available.

Most, if not all, restaurants have something they can drop leftovers into if you ask for it.

As someone who lives in Spain but is Swedish, I've never had any restaurant tell me "we don't have takeaway boxes" or "no, we won't do that" when asking to take my leftovers with me, neither in Spain or Sweden or any other country I've visited.
This is completely asinine.

What you say applies to every subject in school. I interpreted poetry, learned ancient history and dead language. Yet somehow the single most useful tool of thought humans have developed needs to justify itself so that you will learn it?
Everything is conscious, according to panpsychism, even a rock. You start believing it once you realize that some people are actually stupider than a rock.
There is a good argument against 2. - it means people the CPS do not want to prosecute become above the law. Private prosecutions are a mechanism for prosecuting people the establishment does not want to prosecute.

The CPS can already stop a particular private prosecution - take it over and then drop it.

I agree with 1. The Royal Mail is a de facto monopoly for sending letters (less so for parcels).
The consequences of robbing someone under threat of violence go far, far beyond them losing their property, even if they aren't physically harmed at all. Calling this making someone "uncomfortable" or "inconveniencing them" is disingenuous bordering on dishonest. In many cases, the victims of robberies are simply unable to continue leading normal lives, even though their limbs are still attached to their body as before.
hence the relicensing
Yes, it is ludicrous. My company uses hosted databases and "droplets" from DigitalOcean. Their pricing is absolutely absurd. I always wondered how they stay in business, but now I know.
It's not "the community". It's "well funded startups".

People who use open source are very entitled. They'd be very angry also if the license was changed to GPL or AGPL.

I doubt most of this people have meaningful contributions to FOSS.

You're not going to eat re-heated food that you've had at the restaurant a few hours prior, no-one who cares about food ever does (unless you're an American, maybe).
Friends don't let friends do anything by the way of "cargo-culture".

Yeah... typing fast and from the phone has this problem
UOKiK is pretty well known for doing a great job. I had some money returned from my ISP because of UOKiK. I saw big red banners on websites basically saying that they have to apologise for ripping off their customers because UOKiK is holding them by the balls. I had my refunds rejected but then approved immediately after mentioning UOKiK.
Excited, vocal users make the most noise.

Somehow the entire Mongo DB era passed me through and I never used it once. I used to use MySQL in the 2000s, and switched to PostgreSQL in the 2010s.
Confirmation bias produces high levels of dopamine
Generally with these migrations biggest problem in my experience is that all the operational learnings are not transferrable.

You often want to create expertise and achieve operational excellence with the tech that you start out.

The fact that after 20 years this has become almost a daily discussion theme speaks for itself.
It is mind boggling to me that it was so cheap to get GPT4. That is not even 0.1% of California HSR but providing dramatically more value.

They're also easier to persuade and coerce into doing something a person with a longer carrier would have never done.
We literally have the infrastructure to store TWh of methane, so we have already built at the necessary scale in the past. It is also not terribly complex to store hydrogen if you're okay with losing a few percent per year. You might be thinking of cryogenic hydrogen storage, which is definitely not the plan.
Interesting post. This explains why I have to click the login button in every new tab that accesses the Azure Portal, even if I have an active session in the same browser. The Portal may be treated as a public client which is not trustable.
Or lazy lawyers using ChatGPT and hoping no one will notice. I think it’s clear Vultr noticed now.
There's still a lot to figure out but we can phenomenologically and cognitively grasp the structures of consciousness by the use of drugs and modern science, which leaves very little room for the remnants of christian dualism, whether as 'the hard problem', 'panpsychism' or the trans-/consubstantiation of the eucharist.

Maybe there is a demon in my head giving me the illusion of reality being perceived as a projection on the cerebral cortex, and it's reliable malleability under caffeine, MDMA, LSD, cannabis and so on. If so, I find this model of better utility than going with vibes and prayer and belief in eternity and so on that comes with the descendants of christian dualism in liberalism, 'panpsychism', analytic philosophy, &c.

Edit: Kierkegaard wrote quite interesting texts about the structures of consciousness, I'd recommend The Sickness unto Death as a start. It has some of his best jokes.
Wny stop there when you could just use a webassembly port of the actual game with hacked-in portal to the actual site somewhere... :P
My guess: you were in ads/targeting. And at most a Director. i.e. mostly operations.

The people in targeting/demand/supply knows absolutely nothing about profile building. And there is where all the competitive advantages lies. And also all the shady deals.

We usually keep everything very secret in profile building because that is the knowledge that allows people to leave and start competitors, but we disguise it as the usual think-of-the-children and say that profile building deals with all sort of borderline-PII and only the most vetted people should work on it.

Ask some sysadmin to list the ACL to the main ads profile HDFS or whatever it is today. it will show a couple architects who report to one SVP each.
There’s an entire industry of people selling knowledge of the “next great thing/the one true way," but they need a new thing every few years as people learned whatever the old thing was.
Nothing wrong with Memcached but at high loads weird issues will crop up with it too and if you don't have an understanding of how slabs work in Memcached (I doubt your average dev does) you are going to have a hard time reasoning with it as well. Eventually someone will say "why didn't you just use redis for caching?".
>IMHO it's even worse. Once we figure out P vs NP, we will understand what it means to invert boolean functions algorithmically, and all mathematics will be replaced with an automated process.

Literal nonsense. Do you not realize that P vs. NP might have a negative outcome (extremely likely)?

>Today, most of the math is figuring out how to solve an equation, i.e. to give an algorithm to calculate the solution.

Plainly false. In basically any field proving the existence of a solution is far, far harder than calculating the solution numerically. See e.g. PDEs.

>We then "quantize" the algorithm to a state machine (e.g. convert reals to floats, algorithm steps to machine code), so that we could run the state machine on a computer and get a result.

Literally not true. Not even the assumption is right.
I can show you how to use Bark AI to do voice cloning.
This happened at Duxford, a very famous airfield in the UK build during WWI. I think they have regular air shows there. Happens to be near Cambridge, UK, which is the high-tech (in many fields) area.
I was going to make a comment along these lines. I don't know much about bourbon, but as an alcoholic drink, basically it's relying on chemical reactions to create the final product. The current way of making it, which takes a lot of time, has been designed by trial-and-error over many, many generations, as with most alcoholic drinks, and this was mostly done in times before we understood the science of chemistry.

It should be certainly possible (I'm not sure how) to replicate this process in a speedier way.

However, I think the thing being missed by the start-up guy is that, like Louis Vitton crap and genuine De Beers diamonds, most people aren't looking for something that replicates the "genuine" product, they want "the real thing" because there's some kind of emotional factor in owning some massively overpriced shirt made by sweatshop workers and sold in a fancy store by appointment, or a rock that was really dug out of the ground by an enslaved child in Africa. I suspect barrel-aged bourbon is similar.
> you can't make it through an MIT physics degree while being a total moron

Isn't he a legacy admission (different Ivy League, but the moral equivalent)? Which assistant professor will flunk the son of two tenured professors?
I quickly skimmed the article after seeing the table for "The Temperature Journey of a Standard Mug of Coffee", wishing that by the end of the article there would be a full table that included all the different mugs and their timeframes, but there was none :(

So either I read the full article to figure out the different time they take to cool down, or feed the article to GPT and ask it to provide me with the full table I need to compare the products.
You can keep your privacy, but most people will not bother. Most people will buy stamps with a card (or phone) payment so there is a complete chain of identify.

The aim is mass surveillance so a few people going to the trouble of avoiding it is not a problem. True, it is meta data (not letter contents) but we know that is pretty powerful by itself.

I do mean it is the aim - they never really explained what the real advantages of doing it for, and I suspect there is pressure from the security services who are accustomed to seeing most communications (or at least most meta data) to seal what they see as a hole in data collection.
This looks interesting. However I can't find any documentation on how to program for it ? Where is their documentation about how we use this "unified API" which pools resources between nodes ?
The question is: how would your lawyer read it.
Isn’t this exactly the sort of thing newspapers should be reporting on? The fact that there have been disasters in the past is a bizarre reason to stop reporting on disasters now.
None of this is true and your understanding of the subject is obviously very poor.
If you think the terms are unfair to you, you have the option to not do business with this particular bank. If all banks do the same, have you thought there's a financial reason behind it that you might not be aware of (say, default rate, operational costs, etc).
He offers a few testable hypotheses. The one suggesting that a conscious star would direct CMEs in order to remain in orbit around the galactic centre (or intercept another star) is intriguing and entirely falsifiable.
Maybe tipping point is ahead of us. But Allegro already has 20mln unique users monthly (in a country of 36mln people) and twice as many as next largest, AliExpress.
You know what, you're right.

The sinner rolls out a distraction, and we should all jump on it like cats to a ball of yarn. Politicians do it? Why shouldn't "journalists"?

True story: I was raised by parents who taught, "Consider the source."

The point is, if NPR had any integrity and was aware of journalistic standards it would hush-up and look in the mirror. But why do that when there are (down-voting) fools who will attack the messenger instead of considering the source?

Good job citizen. You and your ilk are part of the problem.

Bonus points: Commit the phase, "just because you can, doesn't mean you should." In this case, HN is suppose to have standards. Something being shared here doesn't make it comment-worth, and when it's not that should be pointed out and why. In short, you're welcome. smh

To be fair, almost all product PR teams do the same. I just ignore most of what they say in favour of my own opinion that I try to build based on reading actual technical documentation, experimenting with the product, etc.

Anybody who makes tech decisions based solely on what PR teams say is naive and incompetent at best.
