What you're describing is a fundamental problem of centralization at scale. Consumers shouldn't need to test their food for lead because their food is grown locally and isn't highly processed. Consumers shouldn't be tricked by companies lying about and hiding damages causes by them because consumers should be dealing with companies at a scale they can actually understand.

We don't need big governments to save us from cigarette companies because people don't know better. We need consumers saying to hell with cigarettes because they just need to roll a bit of dried tobacco leaves if that's what they're going for.

We lost the scale of our lives in favor of convenience, marketing, and greed. Governments can't fix that.
I’m not sure if you’re joking so forgive me if the sarcasm missed me, but there is a gargantuan body of work on this subject. It’s central to theories Marx developed and was expanded on by both his contemporaries and more modern scholars in fields like political economics, sociology and cultural studies.

Some reading around this:

Louis Althusser: "Ideology and Ideological State Apparatuses" (1970)

Antonio Gramsci: "Prison Notebooks" (1929-1935)

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels: "The German Ideology" (1845) and "A Contribution to the Critique of Political Economy" (1859)

Honestly it’s astonishing that so few (especially in the US) have an understanding of these points of view and are left reading sources like the Epoch Times to form a view of capitalism that isn’t “I love it, even though I don’t what it is”.
I think the author may also have been making an Arrested Development reference. In which case, bravo Scharon!
This sounds like a pure political comment, I suspect without reading the actual article.
New Advances Promise Secure Quantum Computing at Home
In my experience in computer engineering in the academic systems of the USA, New Zealand, and Australia, a very large proportion of students will write their first paper in their first year. It is field dependent, but when I was a postdoc at a top US R1, 100% of the students I interacted with had their first paper in their first year. These even included students working on LLMs :-)

Also, top non-US universities often graduate their engineering students within 3-4 years of commencing, with 3-4 papers being a very common international expectation as well.

If you want to finish a PhD in 3 years and are interested in academia, in addition to following the path the OP has laid out you may also look to good international universities and then get your next 3-4 papers as a postdoc.

This entire article has dog in burning house vibes, but I can’t tell if it was intentional or not. I’ll give them credit for being a good sport about it at any rate.

Homebrew is an interesting beast. I was debugging something architecture-related recently during one of my first forays into rust land and quickly learned that my brew-installed rust wasn’t going to cut it because I needed rustup. Meanwhile, I don’t think I’ve used brew-installed node since at least v12 because I use nvm to support and debug multiple projects with different node versions. Is this kind of thing just becoming par for the course?

For the pain with the Django project, I guess I’m also willing to cut Rye slack because the underlying goal seems admiral and sadly the problem the author encountered seems common in Python land in general.
"nonparametric" is somewhat of a (confusing!) misnomer in that it doesn't mean no parameters, but lots of them where the # of parameters grows with # of instances [1]. In all of these cases the models have some general parameter(s) as well.

Some simple examples would be the bin-width and bandwidth in the histogram and the kernel density estimator. A somewhat complex example would be Dirichlet Process-based Mixture Models [2]; this has a "concentration" parameter. The terminology is used outside of density estimation too, e.g., Support Vector Machines (SVM) and k-Nearest Neighbors are considered nonparametric [3].

The skill gap between the two is diminishing, data engineering is moving closer to software engineering, and it’s becoming increasingly common for software engineers to move into data engineering roles.

But despite the overlap in their technical skills, data engineers tend to have a better understanding of the data needs of growth teams. I believe this is because the data team operates right between the engineering team and the growth team.

What do you think?
I think King was wrong. Wendy outwits Jack and saves her son. Yeah she screams a lot but that seems pretty realistic to me. When push comes to shove and she can no longer deny what is happening, she shows a lot of strength and intelligence. The idea that she is "just there to scream and be stupid" just does not match up with what the movie actually shows.

In my part of EU the cost of getting 10kW of solar installed has gone from around €7000 in 2021 to €2000 or even less today. That is after government incentives, but the incentives have not changed during that time - it's a fixed amount per kW. The price reduction is due to the cost of panels and equipment going down.
Columnar Db’s want stuff to be contiguous on disk, and deletes cause the rest of the data in that “block” to be rewritten (imagine deleting a chunk out of the middle of an excel table: you’ve got to move everything else up).

This in turn, creates read+write load. Modern OLAP db’s often support it, often via mitigating strategies to minimise the amount of extra work they incur: mark tainted rows, exclude them from queries, and clean up asynchronously; etc.
This looks really cool! though its a bit limited since it is a FUSE module and not a kernel driver, and unlikely to become a kernel module since it is written in C++ with large dependencies :-\

Would it be possible to take the core design changes here and apply them to squashfs, and maybe propose a next major version of the squashfs internal format to make all these things possible?
Twist: hiding the Alexa in the trash was a sophisticated game to get the kid to develop puzzle solving skills and a rulebreaking ethos.
"their own reasons" could very well be any of the following:

- It is necessary to upload a gpg public key to a keyserver in order to publish packages in some public repositories, such as maven central, or one of several linux distribution repositories

- They needed it in order to send or receive email from an entity that required using PGP, but don't use it normally.

- They tried using PGP for email, found out how painful it was to use, then decided it wasn't worth the effort and stopped.
Correct I didn’t read it because it comes from an illegitimate “news” source. Once I saw Epoch Times, I moved on.

How is your table setup? It’s plausible the on-disk/index layout is not amenable to the kinds of queries you’re trying to do.

What kind of queries are you trying to do? Also, what kind of machine are you running on?

Yes this article really should have animations to get its point across. Seems like such a natural fit while going through the effort of writing it and much less engaging as a result.
I think you're right, but I don't think "AI" as we see it today is really the thing we should be looking at when we come out of this bubble. What's really exciting is that we're building an enormous parallel computing infrastructure that's going to revolutionize scientific computing. We're already seeing some glimmers of this stuff like with what deepmind did with protein folding. Once the charletans die off I hope we see a massive acceleration in research in all kinds of fields.
Which kind of polymorphism? Subtype polymorphism I'm guessing?
This is really not true. Googles security posture is much more modern.

Microsoft had its signing key taken by the Chinese. That simply shouldn't be possible. They have repeatedly had breaches and in some cases comically bad holes in azure / email products / internal corporate products etc etc
* Unless they happen to be scholarship students. Scholarship students traditionally have to work harder than everyone else because they can't afford to buy homework or tests, or to pay people to take tests for them. One potential mark against them is the possibility of grade inflation endemic to the institution, but this maybe more or less variable in a particular STEM discipline.

Also, state research universities didn't/don't have as much grade inflation because they're intent on "competing" in the ranks without having the legacy, endowment, or name branding that Ivy's and Pac-NN's, so typically all they have (outside of NCAA sports $$$). University academic department staff are worried about bolstering their public image and of winning the approval of accreditation organizations.

Frame of reference: Most all of my college-prep public high school friends went to Harvard, MIT, Stanford, or CalTech while fewer, like me, went to University of California universities (UCs) like Berkeley or UC{LA,SD,SB,D}. I'm only certain of a few certain universities of that era were more or less more rigorous by comparing notes on specific courses and how team participation was regulated fairly or not. In 2001, we had a intro networking course requiring creating a forked caching HTTP/0.9-1.0 network web proxy server as one project of many.

I like movies, but admittedly know nothing about making them.

Big budget movies require hundreds of people with their own opinions working together to work towards a single vision. I don't find it impossible that demanding, narcissistic, and disagreeable people may have an advantage in that regard.
Oh I’m sure it works wonderfully for now.

My point is about the inevitable future when _those_ models start to struggle.

The phi approach doesn’t seem like breaking the ouroboros, it just feels like inserting another model/snake into the loop.
> The simpler a rule is, the less likely it gets gamed.

Why?

As a counterexample, measuring a programmer's productivity by lines of code written is almost as simple as a rule possibly can be, and is extraordinarily easy to game.
Thanks for sharing, that’s super cool. I loved Descent when I was a young lad.

Many keyservers don't verify you own the email address. Someone else could have uploaded a PGP key for your email. You shouldn't trust the value in the keyserver without additional confirmation via another channel (like giving someone the fingerprint in person).

And PGP/GPG keys are used for more than just email, so just because you have a key on a keyserver doesn't necessarily mean you want your emails encrypted with it.
You should know: Eckert and Mauchly had already conceived the idea of the stored program long before "Johnny" arrived on the scene, but they made the pragmatic decision to finish the ENIAC under their original design. The stored program would have to wait until the next machine: the EDVAC. They were under constraints that prevented them from publishing the ideas, whereas Von Neumann was free to swoop in, grok the ideas (it was Von Neumann after all) and publish them without attribution. Though in fairness, he just wrote the draft - it was really Goldstine that put the icing on the cake by distributing the draft and ultimately cementing the term "Von Neumann architecture". Because he was an intellectual giant, it was easy for outsiders to just bin the whole thing as another one of Johnny's great ideas. Von Neumann was an incredible mind, but he and Goldstine are "the bad guys" in this story. Eckert and Mauchly have been written out of history despite being originators of perhaps the most important concepts underlying all of modern computers:
a. Make it fully electronic
b. You can store the program the same way you store the data

(You can quibble about whether Zuse or Turing described stored-program approaches earlier, but these were significantly more hypothetical / non-practical than the designs being discussed for the EDVAC. This is kind of a theme: there are many sideshows in early computing which were flirting with the right ideas, but the ENIAC and subsequent Moore school lectures stand out as the ancestors of everything that actually went anywhere. The cambrian explosion started there, which is why people get strung out about who gets the credit.)
You can make a list like this of stressors specific to a particular profession that NO other profession has, and all it will really tell you is that every profession has something unique about it.

And while I can't speak for every kind of mental health issue, software engineering is not even close to being one of the worst professions when it comes to job-related depression and suicide risk. There are whole fields that are known to turn workers into high-functioning alcoholics (see e.g. hospitality, construction and law). I feel like one has to be pretty deep inside the tech bubble to not realise just how off plenty of people in other professions are.
Semaglutide Demonstrates Large Reductions in Heart Failure Related Symptoms
So they put up a banner after these laws went into effect, only in states affected. My original point was where were their banners during the last 20 years? Obviously people have felt there's an issue. They did not put forward their idea. Other people did (even if it's a bad one). The article you posted also claims

> In recent weeks, ECP has lobbied Apple, Google and Microsoft

i.e they were not doing it until they found themselves being regulated.

Your quote indicates that device based age verification is not filtering:

> One possible version of the idea, Friedman told CNN, would be for the tech companies to securely store a person’s age information on a device and for the operating system to provide websites requesting age verification with a yes-or-no answer on the owner’s behalf

How you get that information is not specified. The rest of the article implies the idea is your phone would store your government id. What they're suggesting seems compatible with these laws. Their suggestion is even explicitly spelled out as acceptable in the Utah law. Utah seems to already have an app for the device side to handle the id. This site seems to be a demo of how to query it?

https://mdoc-reader-external.uc.r.appspot.com/

Like now I really don't understand what they're suggesting. They seem to be happy with what's being asked of them (at least in Utah and Louisiana)? Maybe they're still upset with Texas (though where they lack an existing system, they provide stronger privacy liability for a third party), but what's the issue with Utah?

Why are they starting discussions with Apple and Google to build it? Shouldn't they be integrating with the wallet provider who already has?

Are they upset that the timeline for integration was too short or the id app was missing part of the implementation? Why don't they complain about that if so?

My read at this point is that this is more an attempt at stalling tactic. They seem to suggest they're not even actually against mandatory age verification because at this point, it seems to have already been thought through and implemented in a privacy friendly, standardized way by at least two of these states.

On the tangent, most (all?) states have obscenity laws about giving e.g. porn to kids. Movie ratings are not mandatory because they are not obscenity without artistic merit. An R rated movie will be safe. A porn movie likely not. The government doesn't decide the artistic merit question; a jury does (it is a question of fact, not law).

Arizona where I grew up has a law specifically covering vending machines like Redbox, and says that if you did want to make a porn Redbox, you'd need to have a way to ensure the customer is an adult (e.g. a membership card or token that you buy with an id check). As far as I know no one's challenged it.

Centralized, industrial agriculture is more-or-less necessary to feed as many people as we have.

One of my worst imagined scenarios is driving at night on a dark road and having some sort of total electrical failure. You really have to hope any approaching drivers are paying attention. Good reason to have some emergency strobes or flares within easy reach.

I was indeed being sarcastic. I found it pretty galling that this guy claimed no one is speaking to these things when, as you pointed out, there is a massive body of theory dating back over 150 years that addresses these things with diligence and scholarly rigor.

You did much better than me by actually providing some references!
Without knowing when mockery is useful, it is impossible to suggest an alternative. There may not be a viable alternative in some cases. That is why I ask. Perhaps you can give us a concrete example to work with, even if contrived? Where have you found mockery to be useful?

The above example, of course, isn't a good one as you can inject an in-memory database (i.e. a hash map) with far less effort than running the mockery tool. But, you are quite right that not all situations are as simple.

If I recall correctly, rsc says to just buckle up and provide a working implementation no matter how hard or how much work it requires, but that's easy for someone who works for Google, in a prestigious position at that, to say. We don't all live in the same lap of luxury. I grant some pragmatism here.

The 3-part documentary Do You Speak American? (2005) is also interesting on the evolution of English (and non-English) accents.
Interesting that MMLU and HumanEval scores dropped slightly.
The core problem lies in latency and information bandwidth - for which eyes (which sees the “gestalt”) are just far superior to reading or listening to streaming text (which is linear).

The one main situation where NL interfaces are superior is when you are mobile (like driving) or hands are tied up.

I think this affects GPTs just like it did Alexa. Which means that GPTs aren’t the final UI. The real innovation will be in the right AI UX.
How do you put the files in it if it's read-only?

To me it seems such an fs should be immutable-first rather than read-only, i.e. let you create (by copying from another fs) files which just can't be changed (can be moved though) ever after. And such would be what I actually need as I have a lot of big and relatively redundant files which aren't meant to change (e.g. video files, picture originals, distro and backup disk images etc.).
I don't know what happened between Kubrick and Duvall, but it is clear to me that Kubrick's art looks at humanity in general in a cynical and one might even say misanthropic way.

Think about his male characters. His films are full of men who are neurotic losers, corporate conformists, cynical opportunists, or violent lunatics. Not that he never presents conventional male heroes, but they are rare in his work as a whole.

He certainly seems to be more interested in male characters than in female characters on average, judging by who gets more screen time. But he is not especially kind to the male gender. If he was a misogynist, perhaps we might just as justly call him a misandrist.

He very well might actually have been more of a misogynist than a misandrist, but if he was I'm not sure that it really shows through in his movies.

Brew is best for your tools you use directly. Your editor(s), torrent client, curl, your shell. Stuff like that.

Other tools are better for build or project dependencies.

Most Linux package managers are also not ideal for that purpose, incidentally.
Sure, but that inertia carries you over the myriad alignment traps strewn like potholes over the face of your production–possibility frontier.
