Hi! Creator of the course here. This is a really good point, and I honestly did not consider someone's fear of a platform "disappearing" as a potential friction to buy before I read your comment. It makes total sense.

I have been doing this for a while, so disappearing was not even in my thoughts. :)

But I'll need to think about that and how to make it clear for everyone that visits the school.

Thanks!

If you amputate your fingers, the rest of us bear the cost of your reconstructive surgery through higher health insurance premiums.
I'm a member of a local artisan's workshop, where a whole bunch of talented folks share shop space for woodworking, metalworking, and various other stuff. All the saws are SawStop - the difference in price just isn't worth it. When you look at the costs of a table saw installation - space, blades, dust collector, etc. - going with non-SawStop would only save a few percent on the total.
Which is fine, I'm just saying you're not the target market for the big observability vendors.

The current generation of observability tools is built for distributed systems that are basically too complex to reason about, and so you have other ways of monitoring and debugging them. When you have 10's of k's of ephemeral containers running hundreds of services, you can't just look at some logs for a server to understand what's going on (ignoring the fact that servers aren't even a primitive in this system).

10's of GBs of logs a day just doesn't move the needle on pricing. They want the customers that are going to generate 7 figures in revenue and those customers aren't talking about aggregating logs from a few hundred servers.

Distribution and wholesaling in this industry is a mess. A lot of these firms - SPD included - were living in the 20th century when it came to all areas of operations. I'm not surprised to hear the news that they are consolidating further.

Even before SPD went out of business, it was very difficult to get "traditional distribution" that enables sales in bookstores. Indie publishers often forego distribution (and by extension, bookstore sales) and go it alone with their own websites, direct sales to individual retailers, and print on demand through Ingram and Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing.

I recommend the following article for insights into challenges faced by SPD:

The Berkeley publishing mindset of the 1970s was singular and beautiful in many ways. These people did not set out to be celebrities or to make names for themselves per se, or even to strike it rich. The orientation to publishing was around books for their cultural merit and value, and if they reached more readers than expected, wonderful. The ecosystem supported itself because everyone supported each other. If there were halcyon days in book publishing, this was it (not accounting for the truly problematic and systemic -isms that have since become so widely unveiled and understood). The afterglow lasted a good many years because I caught its tail end in the early 2000s when I started at North Atlantic Books. By then, these guys were in their 60s, starting to wind down, and many of them wouldn’t be around to tackle the tsunami of change that was on the horizon.

> Never having used one of these before, is there anything (ideally conveniently built in) that you can use to know before you cut a particular material whether it'll trigger the stop?

You use a $40 “wood moisture meter” to check the water content of the lumber before cutting. If you want a built-in one I suppose you could duct tape it to your saw.

As far as I know, NSA still has an Information Assurance Directorate, they just seem to focus on government, military, and government and military contractors' information security, rather than the general public's.

A big contribution of the cypherpunks and hacker community has been cultivating the intuition that everybody deserves information security (even if information security efforts for the general public aren't always very well-funded). (And thank you for contributing to that!)
For sure. During my mom's cancer treatment, these things came up too. E.g., In going through some options, her neuro-oncologist mentioned one drug, Avastin I think, which would have been something like $100k. In his estimation was unlikely to make any difference in her prognosis, and at best would have been a difference of days of lifespan. She was on Medicare, so it was no cost to us either way, but we all felt like it would have been a waste of money.

At some point during this process it became clear to me that a "whatever the cost" approach is understandable but wrong. We're all going to die. If an intervention can restore somebody to health, to give them years of a good life, that's great. But an awful lot of money is spent on what seemed to me like prolonging the misery. That's not something I want for myself, and it's definitely not something my mom wanted. So as long as there was some hope of more good time, we fought and fought hard. But when hope ran out, we were off to hospice with no regrets. She died peacefully, surrounded by loved ones. It was a much better death than having a lot of futile last-minute interventions.

Speaking of which, if this makes sense to you, make sure your loved ones know your preferences. We had all done living wills years before, and it was such a balm to know exactly what she wanted. I've used Five Wishes for this, and I'm told there are other, possibly better options now too.

Depends on which scheme/welfare program you're using.

The ones managed by the Federal/Central Government have better QAing and because of Aadhar it's much harder to do shenanigans and steal en masse. The brands provided are also available at your local Indian grocery store [0].

State Level schemes tend to be of varying quality. Some states (eg. Himachal, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Kerala) are able to maintain a high quality, but other states (eg. Bihar, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh) are unable to properly execute.

The Pakistani PDS collapsed because the hoarding and backroom dealing you mentioned. It fundamentally wasn't a bad program, it just lacked the institutional infrastructure needed to prevent corruption and lossage. The same thing happened in India until Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) like Aadhar was rolled out. With Aadhar, UPI, etc, it's easier to detect anomalous disbursements and thus root out corruption, as you have an audit trail.

Federal Schemes in India all require Aadhar/Biometric Validation. State Level Schemes don't require biometric validation, and as such can (and have) been abused.

great work! When it comes to batched computations, why not leverage intermediate state much like streaming jobs. For example, if we need to calculate past 30 day sum for a value daily - it seems like this would compute so from scratch daily. Would it not make sense to model this as a sliding window that's updated daily?
I'd use them. I got my Airpods Pro v1 replaced once already because of the battery life. The v2 has no significant benefits to shell out $250 after only using the v1s for 2 years.
> On my last flight there were so many carry-on bags they ran out of room.

Not just your last flight, it is now intentional and it happens on just about every flight. They even stopped pretending and now they announce that if you're in the last few boarding groups the space will run out before you get there.

It's just another money grab to get people to pay for earlier boarding to have a chance to keep their stuff.

Back 20-30 years ago this never happened, there was always room for carryons.
No, it's not that simple. Some of the regulatory capture that exists in India is layered on by existing companies like Tata and Maruti. These companies and existing relationships make it difficult for new entrants but wouldn't make it hard for existing firms to build and staff factories as they have been doing.
Also, if you carelessly chuck more homes into a quaint, remote, small town, you run the risk of turning that town into Yet Another Boring Suburb, and now maybe fewer people want to visit there anymore. The solution isn't always just density and cramming more homes.
Implementing NICs in FPGAs (typically with PCIe attachment) is super common.

I believe tying it together might be a challenge. For example, if you were to use the model to get the text of buttons, you would still have to write code to find the HTML elements for those buttons and drive the click/fill actions.
Haha yeah I am very serious. I spent a ridiculous amount of time the last 3-4 years thinking about this. It might all be junk but I find it very interesting.

>But you can't say anything meaningful about space and time using only maths. It makes no sense.

Why do you think that? I am talking about entirely abstract mental conceptions. I am not saying anything about how real physical processes work. Theres several mathemathic formulations of space-time, so I am confused as to what your bewilderment is.

Also keep in mind this is not too different from the Turing machine, which is a row or a multidimensional row of squares, with operations that allow for manipulating any one starting configuration to another.
Precisely, he predicted it.
Yes. But also note that the new function calling is actually “tool calling” where the model is also fine-tuned to expect and react to the output of the function (and there are various other nuances like being able to call multiple functions in parallel and matching up the outputs to function calls precisely).

When used in multi-turn “call/response” mode it actually does start to unlock some new capabilities.
I don't see the win for Automattic here. Beeper seems to be a dead product with its main use case gutted.

Some are, but the maintenance issue comes up again.
I worked at a commercial Kerberos vendor in the 90s. We had a lot of work to do to clean up after the various student projects and partial refactors that inhabited the codebase.

The single biggest pain point in deployed systems in the 90s: lack of reliable system time on authenticated clients (mostly PCs), leading to clock_skew errors.

Kerberos was clearly built for organization networks with multi-user Unix hosts running software built from source and a willingness to customize their services. The inbuilt support for major packages was often stuck on v4 even though v5 had been out for a while.

Kerberos was not built for the internet, or poorly-administered PCs, or closed-source commercial software services (which required painful kerberization).

Your board shooting into your face has always been a concern with saws. Hence why you don't stand in the line of fire when making cuts.
I think you're on a reasonable path with your thinking there. Something I learned a couple of years ago is that table saws are particularly popular in the US. It varies from country to country, but in some places circular saws on tracks are the norm for the same purposes, especially on job sites.

These aren't very popular in the US so you don't see the dedicated "track saws" in stores here that are common in the UK for example. You can pretty easily buy a Kregg Accu-Cut which is a similar idea that you bolt onto your existing circular saw, but it's a little bit annoying compared to purpose-built track saws that are a tidier design and often plunge cut as well so it's simpler to start the cut. But you can also get proper track saws online, and I'll probably pick one up eventually to replace my Accu-Cut.

I don't think this is a perfect solution, getting cabinetry precision with a track saw might be tricky. But no one's doing that with a portable contractor table saw anyway. And the track saws are even more portable. I think the table saw concept is a better fit for larger, fixed tools, which I would guess probably have a better safety record than portables (larger table, cleaner environment, etc) even without sawstop technology. And I think it's more feasible to have good quality guards that will be less annoying on a fixed tool than a portable one, where they have a tendency to break off.
This is a good amount of data but is $100 really the right cost for the replacement of a table saw if the saw itself is actually damaged, as OP says? Is it your experience that the saw is almost never damaged and the replacement cost is almost always the ~$150 dollar blade, or do you know how frequently these false firings damage the saw as well?
Oh wow, thank you for posting this! I did not realize that they open sourced Pocket Casts. That is really neat of them.
I appreciate your experience and perspective, but it is simply not mine. If anything, I've gotten the impression that it's somewhat easier for the subordinate having a level of "abstraction" in the form of email/Teams/Zoom/etc., but of course that requires a commitment on my part as a leader to adjust my approach to that environment (and, given it's the environment I've spent the most time in as a leader and as a subordinate, that's easy).

I don't mean this as criticism of anyone, but I feel like this whole multiyear discussion has been confounding for anyone working on any kind of multi-office team because it's such a non-issue in our experience. It has similarly been fascinating to watch the teams in my company that are NOT multioffice struggle with a distributed workforce. People aren't usually good at what they don't know, but, in my experience, a distributed workforce is absolutely something a company can accommodate with the right leaders and leadership.

An entry-level Dado blade can run about $100. The $10-12 sawblades can't make finish cuts that are worth a damn, because they chew through the work and tear splinters out rather than making precise nips at the front and back of each grain of the wood. For a saw blade an entry level blade that doesn't do this to your work can run you more like $60.

I know this because I've had to buy a table saw blade to replace a $10-12 one on my wife's table saw that someone threw on there because they were doing framing work.
I'll forever remain skeptical of SawStop. I understand their mechanism works quite well and they sell a very high quality saw, but I will never in my life buy it.

It's amazing how the discourse online has shifted. SawStop's original focus after having their patent granted was super-litigious IP-troll type behavior. They were able to win some cases and force other manufactures like Bosch to remove alternative safety they had engineered to compete. SawStop was lobbying heavily for a regulatory requirement to mandate their patented technology be installed on all table saws.

The online opinion of them was ... not good. Look up the old SawStop stuff on Slashdot if you want to see it.

Now that their patent is about to expire, it's "oh look we have changed" -- they haven't. It's just a desperate bid to get themselves insinuated in front of manufacturers who will be suddenly charged with a mandate to ship safety devices -- and of course SawStop will be there with the business shortcut. Sorry, no. Fuck them. Let the patent expire.
Fair enough, but who won't testify in the future out of fear of being murdered?
