OP's article lists the Krebs cycle as an example, to me the Krebs Cycle is a prime example of how not to teach biology.

Most high schools and every biology course uses the cycle as a milestone of learning, but usually teaches it by pure rote learning, words that have no meaning. Oxaloacetate turns into citrate via the citrate synthase and Acetyl CoA (I had to look this up; of course I learned it three times by heart and forgot immediately after the exam). Most of my teachers taught it like this, a meaningless collection of words and steps that you have to rote learn.

Except for my microbiology professor! We spent a semester learning about the basics of biochemistry, why reactions have to happen the way they happen, until we all had a relatively clear logic. We learned the Krebs cycle at the end, as a special kind of application and use case of the inherent logic. We want to 'reactivate' NAD+ into NADH, so we need an H+. But look at our Malate! There's a nice H dangling there in the OH group. Hs are taken off by dehydrogenases because they de- the hydrogen, so surely our helper is called the malate dehydrogenase. And it is! What happens to an O that has it's H taken away? the most usual outcome is a double-binded O. Which is why our oxaloacetate looks the way it does. If you know what malate looks like you know what oxaloacetate looks like. (And so on).

Of course you can't explain the entire cycle and its terms this way, as names like malate are there for historic reasons, but it gets you far closer to the inherent beauty of the thing. It's just a pity it's usually taught by rote.

I prefer to write an initial implementation, and then in the testing process figure out which interfaces simplify my tests, and then I refactor the implementation to use those interfaces. Generally, this avoids unnecessary abstraction, as the interfaces for testing tend to be the same ones you might need for extensibility.
Nice!

PSA: Read Hongjiu Lu's classic paper ELF: From The Programmer's Perspective as a preliminary to get an idea of how the above steps fit together.
IIRC, evolution is an optimizer but not intelligent. Some of our expectations of intelligence are actually more lax than people think and include optimizers.
That depends on how you metabolise it, which can be very different. (genetic variation of neuro-receptors, liver, whatever) For most people about a week of abstinence would do, for me it needs two. Call it 'caffeeine fasting'.

Similar with nicotine btw.(especially sense of smell!)
No, it binds to the frameworks I mentioned above directly.
Currently we question if it is AI, eventually we will question if it is a person.

The problem I see if that many will try to use shock value alone to try and stand out from the AI materials and that will be a whole different issue.
Which is made all the more hilarious by the fact that Google Plus went nowhere.
It's source code and infrastructure as code for the services that are described at pico.sh, for self-hosting, development, etc.

Some of the services appear to live directly within this repo. There's also separate apps (that are separately packaged via docker, and referenced in the docker compose) elsewhere in the same GitHub organization

See the docker-compose.yml for an overview of the services that this repo is meant to enable running. Or if you click the link to their site, pico.sh, and hit Getting Started, there's a lot more documentation there.
Yes, but reciting the entire book mid-conversation isn't a realistic option.

Nice Demo! Definitely agree with the lack of familiarity / tangential aspect comment. IMO your best bet is starting off with vanilla HTML + JS and then adding tooling as required / only if necessary.

E.g. Vite is handy for bootstrapping and hot reloading (don't really need it for build anymore given remote imports, etc). Do you really need typescript? If it saves you time in the long-term, sure add it in (it requires a build step). If you are building a big UI then OK - add a CSS / JS framework. But best bet is always to keep complexity down to a minimum. Last thing you want to be doing is debugging / working around peculiarities of other people's code.

I tend to demo in a single HTML file (you can even embed your shaders in the HTLML!), which can then be easily shared / hosted.

On the demo. Not sure if you referenced it, but I remember being wowed by a similar (official) demo back when Three was first rolling out WebGL2 support. The first commit I could find was 2018, but I'm sure it was actually earlier than that - might even have been a pre-release demo (I'm certain cross browser support wasn't there when I tried it).

They used the "NRRD" format, which I haven't heard of (but sounds pretty close to your 1x1x1 raw files ... x-array style thing). Did you look at this approach? Have things moved on since?

Edit: maybe the real tutorial here is around pre-processing of common volume data formats for use with e.g. three / webgl2

Children that grow up in narcissistic homes often report having different recollections of their childhoods based on the particular role assigned to them by the narcissistic parent. These roles range from golden child, to lost child, to scapegoat, truth teller and many more. Some children also end up taking on the enabler role unknowingly. My mom is a covert narcissist and it took me many, many decades to realize it since most of the literature online deals with overt narcissism. I don’t mean to sound prescriptive, this may or may not be relevant to your specific case but hopefully it’s helpful to someone in a similar situation as mine.
The $1M is a fine as a penalty above and beyond disgorgement. I think it's safe to assume that he'll be required to pay disgorgement of all profits/gains obtained through through the fraud.
Im just reluctant to jump to conclusions until I see OpenAi’s next hand.

True on AGI, but I guess I meant a “self improvement” Ai? Whether that exists or is a pipe dream is to be seen, but seems like the goal of most these companies.
I dont think it scores higher neccesarily, but it certainly has a more narrow distribution than humans. If the average of the training corpus is closer to the average human than a given random human then it will generally produce more relatable content. If you have a look at the spread of ratings between gpt and human youll see quite heavy tails on human evaluations, while for gpt theyre very light. This is natural, we click with some and dislike others. Why? Because with some the direction our bias takes us from the mean mean we are quite alike and for others we are very distant and cannot relate to one another. Gpt relates to all equally (well/badly) so while i think gpt could be better than a randomly selected person, a carefully selected person would be hard to beat.
The repo is terrible at tell us what is this about, the landing page is better: https://pico.sh, but still terrible.

Been to Antarctica twice. Attenborough's voice definitely chimes in.
"Just because it's kubernetes doesn't mean it's cloud companies. "

All of the people driving this work for companies that sell postgres hosting. This is why they are driving this, to make their own offering cheaper to operate, customers can't use "ALTER SYSTEM" and destroy the managed DB creating problems.
Their intent is not for Kubernetes users, this might be a side effect, but for their own companies. If your developers use ALTER SYSTEM and then deploy to production without changing prod conf, I'd say talk to the developers.

It's irrelevant on how it is meant to be, it's 100% relevant on how it is perceived.

The feature is driven by "We're power users and we know what to do and what this is" whereas the resistance is "Yes, but there are a million users, they are not power users, they will shoot themselves in the foot, and then PG will gain a bad rep for security".
From the top of the readme, it says to look at the docs on the website pico.sh. So, the readme does give info on what it's for by referring you to the authoritative location for that info. Should the source code README explain what it is? Maybe if the github repo was meant to be the main interaction for the project, but it's obvious from following that link that it's not meant to be, given the attention they put into that site.

I think what you're actually doing (whether you realize it or not) is criticizing the person who submitted this project's choice to link the github repo instead of the main site, which is a valid criticism, but that isn't really a fault of the project IMO.
Agreed. It is unacceptable. We are in 21st century where all thieves are registered with government database with their skillset, area/days/time of operations and all. Retailers should concentrate on those instead of harassing non-thief customers.
VimL can be cumbersome, but I believe Lua in Neovim can be nicer to work with. But if you’re pressed by time or the task is not that important, I’d say VSCode is good enough. But everything is mostly a CLI away and VIM is especially good interacting with CLI tools. And Emacs is an operating system for texts.

I’d go with Jetbrains IDEs for their language stacks though, because they’re really good at what they do.
Under no circumstances should knowledge of Assembler be needed to work with LLMs.

Many people that work in DS/ML can barely make it with Python.
Except for how at the grocery store the self checkout scale never works well and I need an employee to come over every time I prefer self checkout. Non-self checkouts to me feel like when I drove to a state where I wasn't allowed to pump my own gas, like it's not that hard just let me do it myself and don't bother me please.
TikTok, as well as many other Social Platforms became heavily extortionist upon content creators in the last 3 years... Because they created advertising capability, which is essential to build an audience within their closed walls, they no longer had any incentive to permit organic growth, as ad revenue earns them Billions of dollars. There is no way to verify the return on investment for buying ads on these platforms, the majority of ad views could well be bot and inauthentic accounts, so the value of spending heavily on ads is also a farce.

These apps have turned into casinos, where only the house really wins, and creators and businesses only find out after they've spent far too much on closed-platform advertising with shrinking sales, as less viable customers log in because they find a lack of opportunity and entertainment due to all the ads now displayed. Even the influence r economy is drying up, as viewers consider influencers inauthentic when they shill consumer products.

TikTok has turned into television, where there are little choices, little relevance to the vast audience of viewers, and tons of commercials. TikTok has been dying for a while now, just like FaceBook, and Twitter. People can do without it, though it may be painful at first, most of the earnings on TikTok were for the company on ad revenue, not for businesses and creators, and that is evidenced by declining markets and higher unemployment filings over time. A lot of the creators touting massive earnings is the result of the "fake it till you make it" ethos pushed by Social Media since it's inception.

Many of the people evangelizing platforms now are paid actors and sponsored under the table.... There is little means to detect when it's happening because the algorithms appear to be mysterious, but the primary "algorithm" running on most of these platforms now is based on who pays the most money to be seen.

It will be interesting to see what comes next, but users are beyond worn out on these casino ad-based social media business models, as evidenced on Meta Threads (a non-ad-based) platform, and on black-hat hacker forums, many complain about how platforms no longer work properly, and how they no longer even log in to them. The social media platforms may say otherwise, but we are experiencing a conscious shift away from mega-platforms back to smaller message boards and individual websites, which may be a good thing, let's hope the siege on consciousness of social media is in it's last laps, purely to end repetitive ads, gimmicky music clips, success tips, lack of pay for work, and influencer wealth lies... And to also cull all the political, cultural, and medical disinformation at least.
Startups often avoid Bio and Pharma because of how slow the big partners can be. Would be great to see other Pharma companies restructuring in similar way - reviving the sector and attracting startups and new technologies.
Perception can be tricky on this issue because each and every female having an average of 1 child would be a catastrophic level fertility crisis. Japan is falling into complete demographic collapse right now, and that's with each and every female having an average of 1.3 children.

So I mean imagine what that would look like. If you look at 6 couples and all have at least 1 child, with 2 of them having 2 - then it seems ridiculous to think about fertility issues as being critical. Yet, paradoxically, that's Japan - that is a ~1.33 fertility rate. And it means you are trending towards complete demographic collapse, all the while baby diapers are selling perfectly fine. And as that collapse kicks in, we'll likely see a vicious cycle - a rapidly shrinking economy and collapsing demography will likely trigger even lower fertility rates.

As for wireheading - I didn't want to nitpick that post, but that was not not quite what I am talking about. Rather, wireheading would be an example of the more general concept of some sort of a pleasure device. Given the state of fertility today, it's arguable that something as simple as the internet would suffice. All you need is something that people are content to engage in, in lieu of our natural biological instincts.
Is this sarcasm? I was at Home Depot the other day and there was a 15 minute wait because they only had one checker. None of the grocery stores here ever have more than two checkers going, even on a paycheck Friday afternoon. And you can forget baggers completely - I think I’ve had my groceries bagged twice in the last four years.

Nothing wrong with that.

Grow some patience and empathy. Someone who is penny pinching deserves your respect. Someone who is unable (or perhaps unwilling) to use technology also does.

If you go into a grocery store and aren't patient for those around you... well maybe you should be paying the premium to purchase your groceries online and have them delivered to you. Then you don't have to worry about the extra five minutes it takes for granny-not-yours to write out a check whose sum total is a significantly large chunk of their social security for the month.
Plastic is very good for the environment relatively speaking.

- It's a carbon sink,

- it's lightweight (reducing transport emissions)

- it takes very little energy to produce compared to glass or metals which require furnaces

- and has very little carbon emissions during production unlike paper packaging which has a huge carbon footprint.

The only problem with plastic is that it doesn't always make it to the proper disposal place. This isn't Coke's fault, people can just as easily dump a paper carton in the street. I think you'd get more dividends by ensuring the public has the motive (stick or carrot) to not dump their garbage into waterways, and in very poor countries, funding sanitation infrastructure.
I checked with the team - it was already in the self-hosted version.

There are some guides for using this in the CLI docs:

Setting up all these hoops instead of just running the darn thing themselves is often framed as "reducing red tape", ironically.
There are a lot of people stealing. I’ve heard some young and not so young people talk completely shamelessly about stealing from retailers.

We’re not talking about “government database” kinds of people.
> We are in 21st century where all thieves are registered with government database with their skillset, area/days/time of operations and all.

Really? How many of them are prosecuted? Tell me, how is it that porch pirates (thieves) are so prolific if there's some master database of every thief everywhere?

> Retailers should concentrate on those instead of harassing non-thief customers.

Retailers must not discriminate against anyone until after a crime has been committed. Otherwise it's a slippery path down to redlining.

To do draw a parallel, some of Apple's early and risky products, like the original Mac and Newton (to name a few) were sneered at, their innovations (though somewhat half baked) ridiculed, with especially the Newton becoming a national punchline.

Apple was, and continues to boldly innovate, damned the peanut gallery. The learnings from Newton beget the iPhone and iPad. The Mac went to become one of their strongest products.

I applaud Elon and the Tesla team for taking bold bets and innovating.

(Full disclosure, I was one of the early adopters of both the Newton and Mac 128K)

Japan doesn't need to run buses in most areas, because they have a functioning public transport system. They still do run buses in the extreme rurals.
I assume it the same that also allows for age cut off for military. If I remember correctly, I enlisted young, got out and no plan to go back. 32 is the age cut off to enlisting. Prior service gets like a 2-3 year extension. What is surprising is that the cut off doesn't match the military's cut off.

> It always felt like "Buy our kevlar vest, but maybe pack some chainmail underneath. Just incase.

My understanding of Docker has always been that you're not supposed to rely on it for security—it's less a kevlar vest and more a build-your-own-platemail tinker toy set. If you know what you're doing you can create a quite secure environment with it, but if you don't you're not that much better off than running stuff directly on an EC2 instance.

Some practices that help secure your image are running a stripped-down image (fewer binaries to call out to if an attacker achieves RCE) and being judicious in volumes and network settings. But yeah, I'd definitely also prefer to see the container running rootless.

It's all about reducing what an attacker can do if they get to RCE, and root still plays a role in that.

Basically yes. Petroleum burned produces CO2. Petroleum plasticized does not. The more market share that plastic packaging eats up, the lower emissions are.

I've had something similar, but without pain, just super annoying hick-ups, during my 16tienth bday, where I've been introduced to it for the 1st time.

Later on I've known that vomiting thing, but that could be compensated by popping some glucose (half or whole 'chip' of 'Dextro Energy', or similar) right before. No problems whatsoever then, not even slighest feelings of unwellness around the stomach.
As far as I can understand, the complaint is about the behavior of the owner of the Nix project, together with alleged ties to military companies. Most of the sources are assorted screenshots of Matrix and X posts with snide remarks, so it's hard for me to understand the latter claim. As for Eelco's behavior, it seems like a case of BDFL gone wrong. Tightly restricting the commit bit but also not taking the time to review patches is certainly annoying. The Clojure community a few years ago had a similar friction and ensuing drama (cf. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18538123)

The installer issues are annoying. I just barely started using Nix, and I'm completely new to it. I wasted an entire day tinkering with the default Nix install to enable flakes and other features that are apparently experimental, even though they are widely used by the community. In the end, I did use the Determinate Systems installer simply because, on Mac OS at least, it provides Flakes out of the box, functioning package search, and the Zero-to-Nix guide assumes you are using their installer. It's hard for me to judge why exactly this is a bad thing. The site seems to just list it as an aside for the ineptitude (intentional or not) of the Nix maintainers.
