> The risk of Naegleria fowleri infection is very low. There were 29 reported infections in the United States in the 10 years from 2013 to 2022, despite millions of recreational water exposures each year. By comparison, in the 10 years from 2011 to 2020, there were an estimated 4,012 unintentional drowning deaths each year in the United States.

You’re 150x more likely to drown. And even that is exceedingly unlikely - like 0.05% or something per year.
This is because a photon has no mass and always travels at the speed of light in all reference frames. A photon never observes time because the effects of time dilation at the speed of light is infinite and due to relativity they don’t experience the events between their emission and absorption as they don’t decelerate when they’re absorbed. In a very real sense from the photons perspective they never exist and don’t experience a temporal dimension. However from a frame of reference less than the speed of light - which all objects of mass experience - we can observe their creation, propagation, and absorption.

Reality is stranger than fiction!!

I tend to think of one-hot encoding as not a vector space

But it is a vector space. Technically the one-hot elements are the basis of the vector space, whose elements are weighted lists of words.

And it is the vector space with the highest useful dimension for embedding that vocabulary. Seriously, what are you going to do with the extra axes if you're representing a 10,000-word vocabulary using 1,000,000-element vectors? Those extra axes simply go to waste. In the one-hot case the only thing wasted is the magnitudes.

This is why word2vec embeddings are considered lower-dimensional embeddings. They're lower-dimension than the most-naive-but-not-wasteful representation.

You will have to define what you mean by “worse” and “lately.” I have over four decades experience in software development and I don’t think we ever had high-quality code, reliability, or good security.

We have some examples from the old days that survived and have some of those traits, but I see that as survivor bias — the really bad code gets replaced or forgotten.

Programmers often fail to understand that companies pay to develop software to make money, to solve business problems. Software doesn’t get written because it has intrinsic value, it gets written as a tool used to make money. In a profit-driven environment with short-term priorities, the attributes programmers call “quality” may not matter.
Interesting thought. Perhaps we'll discover a language that is in some way of higher order than Turing complete.

> For example, in your world, as long as enough people agree with me, I can decide that the couch in your living room should actually be in the kitchen. After all, one of the most widespread place in the world is your housing and in todays world it’s fundamentally undemocratic

You should learn about the difference between personal property and private property.

Having democratic control of what's currently private, non-personal property has clear benefits to society which obviously don't apply to personal property. Arguing that people would want to encroach on your rights to enjoy personal property is a big strawman.

> You start a business, hire 2 people to help you out, and suddenly they can democratically take over the entire company?

How to get from our current situation A, to our democratic utopia B is of course not something that we can make justice to in a brief comment, but:

Instead of thinking "hire 2 people", if you need support of more workers think: "cooperative"

If instead of support from more workers what you need is capital investment for the public good, think of partial state-ownership in your enterprise (which would be a mean to ensure oversight and making sure that funds are not wasted... Which should already be the case when we talk about subsidies and state grants in our society)

Ormolu and Fourmolu

That's only one formatter; the latter is a fork of the former... which is the in-house formatting tool of one particular consulting firm. It has only existed since 2018, and is said to be mainly a response to golang/rust people trying to impose their culture on the Haskell world.

Pointing at ormolu is kinda like saying that formatters are popular in the Java world because google-java-format exists. The fact that that project exists says more about the company that created it than the community around the language it operates on.

While I think you can conceive of it this way I don’t think it’s precisely right. Photons don’t experience time at all and never exist from their own perspective as they have no mass and always travel at the speed of light in all reference frames. However causality at speeds less than the speed of light is a real thing and due to special relativity we can interact with photons with a different simultaneity. This is partially because they can’t experience the events of the universe going less than the speed of light due to the fact they absorb rather than decelerate.

This doesn’t mean there’s some cross time agreement between particles mediated by the photon because the reference frame of those particles are different than the photons and are necessarily slower than the speed of light.
Stop reading message boards telling you what to do and focus on building your MVP.

Go over every requirement and decision and defer or remove any that an MVP won’t require. For example, an MVP car (which took more than a couple of weeks to build) needs an engine and wheels. It does not need doors, a windscreen, or bike rack.

If your MVP has a good foundation and communicates the business proposition well people interested in it can fill in the blanks and imagine the next iteration.

My POV: I have been a resident of Tennessee for half my life. I have been in Chattanooga since VW first began rolling vehicles off their local lines. Additionally, I have experience both independent and as a union electrician (IBEW). I live in a lower middle class neighborhood, within 1 mile of VW's Tenn facility [so many of my neighbors work at VW]. I've had many clients employed by VW.

>why is this great?

VW's Chattanooga operation has been notorious for last-minute "mandatory overtime," ignoring legitimate health&safety concerns, and not actually paying that well for our local economy (despite what HQ claims).

I think the greatest thing that will come of this is MUCH better healthcare for VW families [@IBEW, benefits cost the same whether 1 or 10 dependents — they actually don't suck (albeit not incredible)]. Quality of life will also improve by having safeguards in place to prevent (e.g.) forced overtime and unplanned scheduling.

--

My rhetorical question about unions is this: if they really were so bad for employees, why would companies spend so much [and sometimes violate laws] attempting to prevent union organization efforts.

--

To me, the greatest thing about this particular VW unionizing news is that it marks a change in demographics, here in the Deep South. People are beginning to realize just how fucked inequality entitles them [i.e. not much], so are organizing their greatest asset: time/labor.

I don't think it's about believing one way or the other. Hunter ed warns you about this and recommends precautions.

But also consider that millions of deer are hunted and consumed in the US every year, and that hunters don't seem to be developing prion diseases at an elevated rate. We know relatively little about prions, but it seems likely that humans are fairly resilient to this, perhaps except for some predisposed individuals. Genetic factors are suspected, but there's no smoking gun. Acquired vCJD is exceedingly rare too.
> Magnesium Oxide (the most common from in cheap multi-vitamins) is very poorly absorbed and probably useless

I read the opposite, the others you absorb so fast and get peed out (resulting in high magnesium in urine) while magnesium oxide gets absorbed the most since it is so much slower.

But I can see everyone saying the oxide one is bad due to it not increasing magnesium in urine as much, but you don't really want to increase magnesium in urine you want to increase magnesium in your body and that is done better when absorption is slow since you don't want it all to go to your urine.

This very case itself, of the accelerator pedal coming loose and jamming, was in fact a mechanical problem.

I once had the privilege of spending a day with Jim Gray, when he visited the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in New Mexico.

At the time, he was interested in collecting as much astronomical data as possible, to create a unified model of the sky.

He viewed it as a logical next step, after creating one of the first unified databases of Earth imagery (Microsoft Terraserver). "I love astronomers," he would sau, "They want to give the data away."

If one can judge a person after a matter of a few hours, then I submit that all of the wonderful things to be said about Jim Gray are true.

They can, and they should. Sometimes it is done. But to me it feels that many times a disproportionate amount of credit goes to founders/CEOs. People even fighting over whether for example Elon is successful or not, and completely disregarding everyone else in the organization. Or course the organizations are complex, but also mostly opaque - we do not know who does what.

I worked for a local government in the early 90s. My swan song project was consolidating 50+ NetWare 3.11 to 6 production NetWare 4 servers. We repurposed the old hardware to run as GroupWise messaging gateways.

My most vivid observation was that we would periodically reboot servers just because they had been running steadily for over a year without problems or degradation in performance.

I know of. Android+ChromeOS could come close but the hardware is pretty inferior.

Considering the grips mentioned by the author, it’s easy to get all the features I want by using iCloud. Personally I am always going to pay for cloud storage and I pay for a primary and a backup. iCloud is my primary, and I keep backup copies of my photos and files from iCloud on google drive and Dropbox as well.

I used to prefer the browsing experience on Android until I realized safari on iPhone just isn’t always the smartest about figuring out the page zoom level. Brave sometimes gets it right more often, but you can always manually change the zoom. With most pages where I think WebKit is terrible and unusable I lately have figured out that changing the page zoom makes things work better.

If I could make iOS do more I’d definitely want some real browser choice and maybe virtualization on the nicer iPads too. That’d go a long way to making iOS devices better at keeping me away from the laptop.

In my experience making money programming distills down to one of these:

1. Learn to solve business problems and add value and find an employer, client, or customers who will pay you for that.

2. Get into a funded startup that has vague plans and runway to spend money, then keep repeating buzzwords and “pivoting” until the money runs out or you win the lottery.

The point is valid. Direct Democracies are extremely inefficient, and oscillate policies based on, essentially, vibes. That's why democratic countries abstract decision-making through various structures like layers of representation. Maybe that's what is being implied in this thread, that companies should be run in a republican (small r) model, where employees vote for their managers and directors, who have policies they set and argue for, and so on.

If I'm being honest that sounds absolutely insane, because nothing would ever get done (just look at Congress). Then again, if I have no faith in that model working in a corporation, I'm struggling to articulate why I still have faith in it working in an actual government.
