On a related topic, I wish someone would implement "user-encrypted-at-rest" to protect me from the provider getting breached.

I don't care so much for the transit, but I'm a bit worried about the fact that I have many years of emails stored in "plaintext" (citation makes because they probably use FDE and maybe other encryptions but they can still read everything) on the providers server.

I'm not worried about a malicious provider, but worries they might at some point make a mistake which allows them to be hacked.

If anyone knows any solutions for this that works in iOS/Mac I'd love to hear.

The only thing I've found on this is some research a few years ago with ideas how to do this; but I haven't seen any implementations of it. I've linked to it here: https://www.cs.columbia.edu/~koh/papers/koh-eurosys19-e3_eas...
This is experience and learning from each other.

Sure, there are general guidelines that can be applied in many cases (testing, keep it simple, ...). However, many things depend on the company and the team you are working in.

A lot about production grade code is also to make sure it's easy to read and understand (thus maintainable).

A good question to ask is also "What happens when X goes wrong?". What happens to the system in general, how critical is it, and how can you understand what happened. This is about logging and moire general observability.

In the AI/ML field production grade code doesn't necessarily mean that you need to have super abstract things. A lot of this is actually the MLOps part: getting the data to your model, saving the model in some artifactory, running inference, ... . To make this easier it's most important that your code is somewhat modular and not just a plain script that you run when you need it.

Also, don't be to hard on yourself. Your last two lines sound a lot like imposter syndrome. Look back at your code from 4 years ago and see how it has changed and how much you have learned.
You can also target WASM. Depending on the model size, it can be really good. Here are some examples of quantized models.

That's exactly how I started as well, I was using a similar workflow to build an AI-driven game.

Then I thought maybe it's a good idea to turn it into something less ad-hoc, more user-friendly, and work for any project.

I think the main reason alibaba got beat down was because it was moving from "tech" into finance offering unregulated loans and jack ma criticizing regulators did not help at all.

And alibaba was not "deep tech", more like derivative tech. It's just a ecommerce site. It takes a lot of technical expertise to operate that at a large scale for sure, but at the end of the day, it's not the kind of fundamental tech free from sanctions that the chinese government wanted to pivot its tech industry to.
I won't make the argument against variable-length vectors here, but I will note that, although some of the extensions you mention do change the vector length, for none of them is the vector length change the most interesting aspect; you could keep the vector length fixed, and they would all still be interesting. (The exception is avx10, but that is basically forwards-compatible and barely an 'extension', so.)

Contrariwise, although I think some of amd's choices in the initial design of amd64 have hurt its longevity—they could have made more breaks from 32-bit x86, although it is understandable why they didn't at the time—intel has been very careful and has done an extremely good job of playing the hand it's been dealt.
Let's say I use Microsoft technologies since MS-DOS 3.3, and Blazor isn't the first great thing that eventually goes south.

I belong to the group of people that knows Web Forms before .NET 1.0, went through Silverlight, XNA, WinRT, UAP, UWP,...

One thing that Web Forms and Silverlight taught me, is that working directly with browser tech, regardless how bad it may be, is much better than debugging framework and VS interoperability code.

For the same reason I master C, regardless of my opinion on it, and its bad influences in security, I have a much easier time on UNIX clones, than otherwise would be.
What kind of slavery you talking about?
Absolutely, but digital documents are not accounting software either. Communication would definitely get harder if we lose debit/credit and with it the left/right visualisation of T accounts.

Perhaps some simple convention would help, like attaching +/- to account names. We do have account numbers and accountants know their meaning but most people don't.
Which article would you ask Bob to read to learn the right way to do it?
Ok but they could just ask a friend to take the picture. Doesn't have to be really that hard haha! :)
>communism in its pure, traditional form these are not.

Achieving communism necessarily entails authoritarianism because you need an authoritarian state to seize the property of existing landholders and business owners, and to prevent the creation/operation of new private businesses.
Those other services are paid for by taxes. The tempting response to this will be thT those taxes could be lower, saving non-drivers money. However, the taxes may not be paid by drivers but all people benefit from drivers existing such that the economic impact of forcing only drivers to pay for these things will end up being priced into all goods and services.

Essentially, government services paid for by taxes function very similarly to an insurance pool.
I'm confused. If all the data from probes and satellites is an elaborate fake, what difference does it make to send a few astronauts? They can't report the real data either.

The reason why we haven't been to the Moon is that it's very expensive to go, especially with contemporary safety standards. The Artemis program is projected to cost around $100 billion. There's nothing on the Moon that would provide a direct return on that investment.
If a country were a company and Xi the CEO, would that be "ideologically kosher"?
Trust me, it’s not only government.
I ran a quote with my name/address (WA 98110) and my 2003 s-10 with progressive, because they're relatively easy. I don't think they pulled my records, but they did know about my cars from my address, so... Long term driver, no tickets or accidents in 20+ years; 42 year old male.

It's common to have coverage will be reported as single injury/multiple injury/property in thousands. Six months coverage, paid up front.

For state minimum 25/50/10, I've got a quote of $117.

The max separate limit quote is 250/500/100 for $158.

They also quoted a combined single limit (which I think can be used for any mix of injury and property damage?) from 100k for $134 to 500k for $165.

This is just for liability. Uninsured/underinsured coverage is extra (I'd recommend it, but leaving it out for ease of comparison). Comprehensive and collision is extra (and I wouldn't get it on a 20 year old vehicle unless it's a collector's car, but that probably needs specialty insurance).

From this quote (which may not be accurate or representative, more data welcome), it seems like paying about 50% more, takes the coverage from about $60k to about $500k of liability. It doesn't make a lot of sense IMHO to not consider taking the max coverage. If you want more, umbrella policies are available and also not usually very expensive until somewhere around $5-10M of coverage, depending on your insurer.

There's two parts though:

1. the right to not have someone else do stuff to your body

2. your right to do anything to it

Number 1 is pretty well established.

Number 2 less so, and I think that comes down to us as a society noticing that many people can't be trusted with full access here. Ask any clean addict and they will tell you what a colossal mistake it was to start using the drug in the first place. The regulation of what you can do with your own body is, in my opinion, a regulation to protect future you from present you. Because we all know what the present you has worse impulse control and judgement than future you would like.

Noah Smith's outline of the tensions and conflicts of the 1930s that led to WWII and of the War itself is excellent and should be read by all. I also share his concerns about parallels between those incidents of the 1930s and present-day world tensions. History might not repeat itself but some of its notions certainly do.

As a teenager who lived through the Cold War and especially the 13-day Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 I've never since been so worried about a major war outbreaking as I am now. No doubt tensions haven't yet reached those 13 worrying days but it seems we could be heading that way. I just hope to hell I'm wrong.

What I find most troubling is that no matter how much new upcoming generations are taught about political tensions, risks of war outbreaking and its horrible and tragic consequences by their fathers and grandfathers they always remain unprepared and ill equipped to prevent it. As those who've lived the experience and suffered often repeat, nothing prepares one for war other than war itself.

Tragically, as the old adage goes, wisdom doesn't fit well on young shoulders. It's as if our inability to convey adequately how important such notions are to upcoming generations is a flaw in the human condition.

Well, the only real change that’s not easily reversible one might make when installing most of these units is if you don’t already have a hole to mount the faucet in. A renter definitely shouldn’t drill a hole in a countertop and most r/o units would require one. Any house built in the last few decades would probably have a built in dish soap dispenser you could pop out, but if not, no luck.

Other than that just basic hand tools are involved. I would have no problem installing one in a rental but I’m also comfortable with plumbing. It’s definitely a job that seems a lot more intimidating than it is.
Conceptually, isn’t that what a JIT compiler does?

Crystalruby ia really interesting though. This has got me wondering:

1. How this compares to Sorbet Compiler in terms of performance?

2. If you could use Sorbet or RBS type annotations to drive crystalruby?

3. How would YJIT perform if it was fed with type annotations?

4. Could crystalruby type signatures be used by Sorbet-lsp, ruby-lsp, etc in to improve developer experience?

I really wish we had a single standard for inline types in ruby. I wish that was an inline RBS type annotation but I guess I’d take anything that works.
No, not really. A couple of features of the architecture and instruction encoding which were historically used for segmentation remain on amd64, and these features are used to implement thread-local storage on every mainstream os targeting the arch, but amd64 is not a segmented architecture in any meaningful sense.

If I'm using the shell in any nontrivial way after things are set up, that's an issue I need to fix.

If there's commands I don't want to fully hide, that people may want to customize, I put them in the readme and usually copy and paste from there.
I meant the Arrow ecosystem. Datafusion is the query processing project therein at present, so I was curious to know what's the future for that. As you said, it's possible Datafition will adopt some stuff from Velox.
> I'm surprised not to see the article mention the previous report[1] about the three men who were sentenced to death, the killing of one, and the decades long prison sentences for others

It's a small number of people, who are opposing known tyrants, foolishly. The ruling class can kill and enslave, at will. The indentured servitude imposed on thousands of immigrants who built and maintain it, is much more concerning imo.

It's a barbaric country. US support has created another blemish on US history. Was it worth it to ensure safe seas to enable global commercialism, which kept most of the world stable for decades? I do not, but I'll never be in charge either way.
I do think this is an interesting perspective even though I disagree that monarchies result in more long-term thinking.

You do raise the issue of how to structure government to encourage more long-term, or rational, planning. I don't think that short-term thinking is inherent to democracy any more than a two-party duopoly is inherent to democracy. As with the US and UK duopoly, short-term, self-interested government policies may be due to election incentives or the frameworks in which elections take place.

Hmm at Berkeley 10-14 years ago during undergrad we used MIPS in both our computer architecture class and compilers class and I wouldn’t call it obscure. Uncommon yes but not obscure.

It had a RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer) ISA (Instruction Set Architecture) which at the time was considered academic but not popular in real world computers since CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer) ISA like amd64 was all the rage but since Apple Silicon and its RISC-based (ARM) architecture that notion has been turned on its head. And the upcoming Qualcomm ARM laptop chip is also following the trend on high performing RISC architecture chips.

The ARM comeback has made RISC popular again for uses beyond mobile phones and academia.
Can’t speak for everyone else but I almost exclusively use it for what you mentioned:

> when exploring new solutions and "unknown territory"

If it’s something I have no idea how to do I might describe the problem and just look at the code it spits out; not even copy pasting but just reading for a basic idea.

> how do you compare it with "regular search" via Google/Bing

Much worse if there’s a blog post or example in documentation that’s exactly what I’m looking for, but, if it’s something novel, much better.

An example:

Recently asked how I could convert pressure and temperature data to “skew T” coordinates for a meteorological plot. Not something easy to Google, and the answers the AI gave were slightly wrong, but it gave me a foot in the door.
The know it all. This “wouldn’t have happened to them because they are” THE ONE. Also known as, “that guy” as in, “don’t be THAT GUY.”
Hate to badmouth them: but they are definitely broken recently (one full month at least).

I created an alias using @protonmail.com and that worked to new people
I have this 300 line Go application which manages git tags for me. I asked it to implement a -dry-run function. It failed twice. First time it just mangled the file. Second time it just made code that didn't do anything.

I asked it to rename a global variable. It broke the application and failed to understand scoping rules.

Perhaps it is bad luck, or perhaps my Go code is weird, but I don't understand how y'all wanna trust this.

Well, ackshually, the US doesn't look that bad, according to this chart [0].

Embalming is very rare in places like continental Europe, and large swathes of the non-western world has religious bans on embalming, so formaldehyde in graveyards is almost purely a problem in the anglosphere.

Well, if you live somewhere with a municipal water supply, the water just gets recycled anyway. I suppose if you’re on septic it’s still going right back into the ground it came from.

Drinking water is probably such a small percent of overall water use that wasting even a multiple of it doesn’t amount to much anyway.

So filter away! I’ll worry about my r/o waste when people stop diverting rivers to grow almonds in the desert and not a second before.

For the shortcoming of conveying errors strictly through HTTP status codes, consider:

RFC-7807, Problem Details for HTTP APIs[0]

From the introduction:

HTTP [RFC7230] status codes are sometimes not sufficient to convey
enough information about an error to be helpful. While humans behind
Web browsers can be informed about the nature of the problem with an
HTML [W3C.REC-html5-20141028] response body, non-human consumers of
so-called "HTTP APIs" are usually not.

This specification defines simple JSON [RFC7159] and XML
[W3C.REC-xml-20081126] document formats to suit this purpose. They
are designed to be reused by HTTP APIs, which can identify distinct
"problem types" specific to their needs.

I'm not sure it is safe to build wealth anywhere, anymore, although the US is the country I chose to register my company in, because it is probably the safest. Still, I have my reservations. Petty theft like shoplifting is being increasingly normalized and justified in the US (see train package theft), and enforcement of property law is slipping, see how home owners can lose their home to "squatting". This is a very slippery slope which I hope doesn't go the way of the Bolshevik revolution, but anything is possible.
Tobler's hiking function [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobler%27s_hiking_function] linked in the 'See also' section is also very interesting.

Another example of doublethinking would be anticommunists and grant recipients in one person. Or democrat supporting censorship/desinformation regulations.
