Yup, but 'ever increasing pace' means that inflation is rising, not falling.
We have the economic and mathematic machinery to, in cases where uncertainty would adversely affect a defendant, require a rigorous statement of proof for the prosecution to win the day.

If is legal, yes. So is reporting on the fact that they are, in fact, enormously biased (to use your own words). You're also right than the government should not be involved in this which I why I'd like some other group - preferably a university which does not suffer from the type of bias American universities suffer from at the moment - take up this job [1]. The problem lies in Media Matters being portrayed as being unbiased while in truth they are anything but.

[1] Kent Asp at the university of Göteborg (Sweden) keeps track of the political bias of the news media in Sweden which shows their move to the left: On the political scale, Swedish journalists can be placed to the left of the Swedish public and their elected politicians. And the distance between the two sides has increased significantly in recent decades, although this is more due to the public and politicians having moved to the right than to journalists having moved to the left.

>> Since then Amazon has leased a ton of office space in NYC (including a large chunk of Hudson Yards, which is the priciest new development) and is expanding its presence in the city, all without the $6B+ in subsidies that Virginia and other states/cities across the country promised them. Funny how that works.

I want to be fair here -- HQ2 was being discussed before the pandemic when office space was at a premium. We are now post-pandemic, where office space in major cities sit empty, languishing, and sometimes entire buildings going bankrupt with no equity value left.

Of course Amazon is able to easily rent tons of office space in NYC _now_.
That's exactly what rules are.
The incentives were tied to the job creation. So if they bring fewer jobs to the area, they get less money from the government, automatically. It was part of the contract
AFAIK a similar thing worked in in lots of shooters: running diagonally by strafing and going forward gave you sqrt(x^2 + y^2) speed probably because of a design oversight (and because running in each direction was equally fast). In Descent you just added up/down for another axis, which gave you a speed of about 1.7x compared to forward only.

In Descent 2 and 3 you also had the "afterburner" which gave a speed boost forward, but it had limited (albeit quickly recharging) energy, and the speed boost it gave you was greatest at 100% energy and effectiveness dropped as remaining energy dropped towards 0%. So people learned to pulsate it multiple times per second so that it would recharge between the fraction-of-a-second uses and keep at ~95% all the time instead of quickly dropping to low figures.

So if you wanted to go really fast you'd both run diagonally in three dimensions and keep pulsating the afterburner multiple times per second.

Quite a few Onlyfans “creators” are launching their own “companion bots” and even sexdolls right now.

I suspect the most profitable venture would likely be a middleware for those creators as you would likely need to ground it in reality somewhat to hook in people.

I’m actually surprised that Onlyfans isn’t on top of it as they are directly positioned to launch an adult GenAI service with royalties as they have access to the most relevant training data in terms of photos, videos and most importantly a the chat messages between “creators” and “clients”.

I encourage people to look into the ERA5 dataset provenance especially when you approach the observations made toward the "pre industrial date" of 1850 .

Remember that modern global surface temperatures are collected by satellites, and the dataset is comingled with recordings observed visually & made by hand using buckets by sailors who were not primarily academic researchers. Segments of high resolution, low noise data (satellites) are mixed with low resolution, low coverage, high noise records (hand records on a boat made surrounding the united kingdom).

My point is to be in awe of the technical aspects of this effort but also keep in mind that we are only making copies of low resolution, noisy manuscripts from sailors 170 years ago.

The incidence of cosmic rays is biased vertically, especially close to sea level where you get more muons than electrons, so that is one thing you would want to think about - you’d want to maximize your surface area toward that because your detection volume is so low.

As a rule of thumb, you get 2 muons through your head a minute - but of course your head has a huge volume compared to memory chips.

At work we make a hardware product, and among other things, it has a small microcontroller on it. We keep several hundred instances of our product to run automated integration tests. At that scale, we find SRAM bit-flips one of the microcontrollers every few weeks. We have a handful of software measures that are able to stop most instances of bit-flip from having a user-visible effect.

Exactly. Technology can be used to solve problems. Understanding a problem is the key. If you don't have the domain expertise to identify the problem you need to speak with stakeholders in the industry to grasp the problem and solve it.
No, but it does mean that AMZN almost certainly won't get any taxpayer money for this checkpoint(the payments are spread out, but for the jobs of several years ago- they can be paid until late 2026 based off their paperwork filed in back in April 2023, etc.). They didn't even ask for any, actually- they filed a "Progress Report" rather than a formal application for taxpayer money. This is the first time they missed on the hiring numbers agreed to- up until this report they had always been ahead of the agreed upon hiring schedule.

I believe there is a way of pushing the reset button. What you do is feed the bits coming out of the radio receiver into a shift register, and when they match a particular pattern, a reset is triggered.

(It wouldn't surprise me if they could shift between primary and backup computers this way as well.)

One thing that does have great backup time is the RAM, which IIRC is powered by a dedicated power line coming right off the RTGs.
It's the Lean Startup Method but in course form.
Incidentally, the species debate is fairly simply summarized / resolved, at least for typical sexual organisms: There is nothing whatsoever in first-principles evolutionary biology that says that these can always be partitioned into discrete categories that one might call "species". What evolutionary biology says is

1. When two populations overlap in space and time and have the opportunity to interbreed, they might do so.
2. In the absence of interbreeding, populations evolve, divergently w.r.t. most markers other than the occasional selection-mediated convergence.

So, divergence might be the result of lack of opportunity to interbreed (this allows genetic and phenotypic diversity to accrue, but does not itself represent a biologically real division), or it might be the result of inability to interbreed (biologically meaningful, but impossible to discern if opportunity to interbreed is absent). And that's it, for sexual organisms that is the gist. In general there's nothing to say that our systems of related populations spread through space and time can always be divided into "species". On the other hand any cursory look around a single locality shows that many discrete biological entities do exist; there's nothing wrong with giving them the name "species" as long as we acknowledge that for closely related allopatric populations the question of whether they are the same "species" is not defined.

There are various problems. One is that some humans are attached to the idea that entities exist for which the word "species" is apt; or put another way they are convinced that "species" must mean _something_ and they ask what (e.g. because they like their neatly divided up bird lists).

Another is that if scientists go around saying "animals can't always be divided into things which it makes sense to call 'species'" then it significantly weakens certain arguments for the protection of populations in conservation biology / legal contexts, since these invariably name the species-level taxa they are intended to protect. Since the modern trend is towards splitting subspecies (i.e. geographical races) into species (as opposed to lumping), many conservation initiatives are based on protecting "species" for which the species designation is subjective. That doesn't mean they are flawed of course -- they are nearly always protecting valuable ecosystems. It's just that as we split geographical races, we (by definition) create rarer and more vulnerable taxa, and so conservation initiatives arise around these.

> 2-kid, family-vacay-ever year, comfortably middle-class family on one salary

I think we are kind of looking back decades ago with rose colored glasses, too. I went to a very middle class school in the late 70s, early 80s, and nobody I knew went on a family vacation every year. I don't think I even stepped foot on an airline until I was 16. Nobody went out to restaurants--that was for rare, special occasions. We shared rooms with our siblings, ate boxed macaroni and cheese, played with second hand toys (or went out side and played with sticks and rocks). We had one TV with 13 channels, which we all shared when something was on. I mean at least we had a house, but it had something like a 13-15% mortgage that I'm sure my parents could barely pay.

This idea that middle class boomer parents could afford a luxurious lifestyle for their families is not all that truthful.

Biscuits are really cool, one day I plan to try and convince Geoffroy to integrate Polar for policies :)

Currently Biscuits + Polar are ideologically similar but with distinct use cases at the moment. Oso is a central service that your backend speaks to whereas biscuits are decentralized cryptographic tokens.

So Oso API calls are all done with service-specific API keys, and don't need a proof of identity beyond that.

My mental model for tokens like biscuits is that they work like a "decentralized cache". I.e. you can take an authentication/authorization decision, sign it, and provide it to a client. They can reuse that decision at services without the service needing to reach out to the authN/authZ provider again.

It would play _really_ nicely together with the Distributed Authorization concepts we're talking about here: a client could ask the authz service: "I want a token for managing issues". The authz service/Oso could respond with a partially evaluated policy, like: "this token grants the user access to issues that belong to repository 1, 2,3, or issues that they are the creator" (encoded as facts to check a la biscuits).

When receiving that token, the issues service would know what filtering to do locally, without having to reach out to Oso.

The information passed around between the services mostly stays the same, but rather than make an API call each time, the necessary authz information is encoded in the biscuit token.

And then next level: biscuits can cross federation boundaries and be attentuated, etc. So it really starts unlocking novel ways to integrate application-level authz with infrastructure-level authz.
Both. Usually the service has a table of "shares" and the owner(s) attached to the actual row. Thus determining if a user has a right to do something looks like this:

select 1 from kites k
join shares s on (s.model = 'kites' and :operation in s.rights)
where :user in k.owner or s.user = :user

or something like that.
The Mom Test is a great book around this. It really helped me (as an engineer) realize that the M part isn't a daunting sales task, it just involves talking to people about what they do. And people like to talk about themselves.
> The proportions are roughly the same in the visualization

They're not, though? E.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKv1Mixv0Hk&t=278s — note that the final bar is also shorter, so really you need to elongate it a bit in your mind (and compress the bar above it): the proportion of the "many adverse experiences" group is definite greater than the other two. (I wish they'd've just labelled the %'age on the screen, made the bar lengths equal — I have a lot of issues with the data visualization here, but none severe enough that they defeat the core point of the video.)

Edit: okay, I've counted the miniature people on this chart. For this specific example, they are: no adverse exp.: 7 aff, 109 total; some adversity: 16 aff, 239 total; many adverse exp.: 24 aff, 152 total. In percentages, that's "No adverse experiences" → 6.4% victims of crime, "Some adverse experiences" → 6.7% victims of crime, "Many adverse experiences" → 15.8%. The last group is more than double the other two. (The first two, in this example are equal; but the visualization also roughly shows that.)

>> What's funny is she (and many other critics) specifically called out that all it would take is a single bad quarters for all those HQ jobs to evaporate and they were right.

Could you elaborate on the argument here -- are you suggesting that if a job has a potential for future loss, it is just better to not create the job at all? If I was mayor, i'd be happy to take a high-paying job in my locality even if it isn't perpetual. The key would be to tie incentives to actual payroll. Subsidy disappears as soon as the job disappears.

But guaranteeing perpetual jobs is something no organization can do, not even governments.

Great site. However, I think there's much more interesting things one could visualize from the same dataset.

I'll go out on a limb (these days?) and say that nothing is more influential when growing up than what your parents teach you. That alone transcends all other negative/positive effects considered (health, income, "have you seen someone getting shot", ...).

I see the study does account for parents present or not but I would've liked to read a similar story in which this is the categorical control.

The other one "classic" correlation of interest is race vs. all the other variables, but I can understand why they didn't want to initiate yet another flamewar.
One big annoyance is including attributes beyond the target (which CASL calls the subject). There may be a plethora of environmental factors I want to evaluate in my rule. The two obvious options are:

1) build the rules programmatically, based on what you observe in the request context. This works fine until you want users to be able to create and assign custom policies and load them from a database.

2) put placeholders in the rule’s conditions, and swap them with the current contextual values when rehydrating the rules for a given request. Fine, except this obviates caching except for the raw rule from a database, and rehydrating dozens or hundreds of rules for every request starts to add up in terms of overhead.

I wish rule conditions could reference a “context” parameter (name not important) so I could create a condition like {userId: context.user.id} and at runtime I could pass the current context when I call can. That way I can rehydrate the rule once. I realize this creates all sorts of complications with serializing a rule to be stored in a database or sent over the wire, but that’s where some special placeholders could be understood natively by an Ability and hooked into a passed in context. However, that still creates an issue if I want to create a condition that is purely based on context ( e.g. {context.user.isTrialUser: false} )

The other thing I have been struggling with is that can with a subject name only (rather than an instance) will match a rule with no conditions along with rules that have matching conditions. I understand the author’s rationalization, but can potentially create unexpected results particularly when you offer a system that lets users build their own policies.

The last issue is CASL is nodejs only and I may need to support multiple platforms. I’ve looked at Casbin because of its multiplatform support and customizable model, but I’ve found it extraordinarily hard to use beyond simple RBAC or claims-based authorization, and it still doesn’t offer solutions like conditions-to-query filters or field-level authorizations.

Of course not, 100 years ago there were no computers. Having 100 years of experience in trading on the pit would not give you any expertise in software development.

I'm sorry that it disturbs you that the Average Joe sitting at home with his discount online brokerage account is unable to gain the same kind of benefits putting out individual orders here and there on speculative stocks that he likely knows nothing about, that hedge funds, institutions, and other highly specialized and skilled professionals are able to gain by doing this for a living.

The Average Joe does have access to highly diversified and low fee ETFs, and as I said the Average Joe can reap almost all of the rewards that the best hedge funds and banks do by sticking to those instead of trying to play the market.
