My eyes are impacted daily. I get blurry vision when my eyes get tired. They also get extremely dry and will start to sting. I use eye drops often. Getting outside help tremendously, but I rarely go outside during the work week.

I've also spent a lot of money on my current eyeglasses, with blue-light filtering, progressive lenses.

My ergonomics are fairly good, as when I was younger, my finger, arm, and shoulder hurt from clicking the mouse button so much. That scared me. Eventually, I switched to a Wacom tablet, and recovered a lot of issues because the mouse click converted into a pencil tap. Now I use an Apple magic pad.
Not if the customer is killing a potential future adversary to my family or even distant relatives.

Morality is a social construct. The selfish gene is a biological construct.
I feel the same way. Being single is better the same way that not dealing with room mates is better.

But the relationship project, as a concept, isn't "two is better than one"; in a world where we met a lot of people (a thing rapidly receding into the past), you eventually met someone with whom your chemistry is so overwhelmingly, irrationally powerful that you feel like you can't afford not to be with them, which blows the joys of being single out of the water.

That might be obvious to people, but it's been a while since I was reminded about that feeling. When I remembered, I realized I was thinking about relationships the wrong way. :p Dating apps also skew your thinking, where you're picking from a menu, engaging your rational brain about what ingredients add up to good chemistry. "If they're `x`, that's a deal breaker. They need to be `y`! Also, I want someone who `z`s..." There's no rational analysis though; it's the least rational thing ever. You just have to try enough times.

That might also not be the sole motivator for people who feel lonely being single (a thing I can't really relate to, thankfully -- being in a relationship just cuz I have to sounds like hell).

All they had to do was destroy their existing platform by shoehorning a short video service whether their users wanted it or not. The recommendation systems in those copy-cat systems are very weak.
Because all anyone not on your immediate team would know is the HR sanitized "they left for other opportunities, we're so happy for the contribution they..."

I think it's silly that people will protest like this with the expectation that they won't immediately get fired but that's the play if you want to make noise.
Well no, the idea is that these are not related pieces of content. It's less of a newspaper article and more about independent items that are placed across the page. You don't have to follow the flow exactly as a user, but following the visual line is "more correct" than following through all of column A, then column B, etc.
I conducted a test last year with GPT 4. The idea was simple. Feed Powell's official fed meeting speeches and give a rating between 1 and 10, 10 being more dovish and 1 being more hawkish. I fed around 7 or so Fed speeches and kept getting around an 8 on the rating, which would have been more dovish. There were a few speeches in there that were definitely hawkish, and the markets reacted that way as well.

Although my simple test didn't prove anything, I'm 100% sure there is value here and if I had more time I would attempt to exploit it. I collect data from financial social platforms that assign bearish/neutral/bullish ratings and there are highly correlated markers of impending market movements when certain conditions are met. I'm sure fed speeches can be used in the same way for indicators.

I would think with the wealth and network of the folks sponsoring California Forever, they'd have enough pull to move offices to the community in order to create jobs for folks desiring to live there. That's the problem, right? People need jobs to live where they want to live. Building the housing alone isn't enough, you have to bring the jobs or otherwise make them available (if you're not supporting remote folks who can bring their own job with them to the housing).
I guess you could "disrupt" the productivity of an "office" without physically being there, but ultimately at-will employment probably gives Google a lot of leeway here.

There was no way to do it without doing that because the local landowners considered themselves alienated when these guys didn't tell them why they bought the land. Considering that low threshold for alienation, they went the whole way. In for a penny, in for a pound.
I remember when DSL was launched in my hometown by the telecom, windows 95, I opened network neighborhood and saw the hospitals and doctors offices patient records shares. They filtered that in a month or so.

I was on the waitlist for 2 years, and finally got it. Gotta love new tech at the time.
You're essentially discounting all major civil right movements as selfish, since all included an attempt to change the behavior of large institutions and companies to accommodate what began as a minority opinion.
more like inhabitable wastelands where much of the land can't support large quantities of people, which leads to a handful of large cities without much space.

I definitely found Chinese was much easier to learn to read at a minimal level.

Since the sounds per character are 1-1 and the semantics are very clean you can get a lot out of a text by looking characters up in the Unihan database. Words are usually composed out of the semantics of the characters and the grammar is pretty regular, more than some artificial languages.
I worked in a city that I commuted to. Downtown was actually pretty nice. It was probably also 12 square blocks to be generous with one nice apartment building. It was actually a separate city (old mill town) but probably not what most people wanting to live in a city have in mind.
Regardless of what you might think of Snowden, he has a good quip on this: "Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say."
Looks pretty darn cool! Two questions please:

1. How does this compare to dbt? If we're already using dbt, why migrate?

2. Will you consider making a tool that tries to transpile SQL back to Hashquery models? This way I can work against my database, then merge the changes back to the model.

Good luck!

I think because those who perceive themselves with the minority view support others who they perceive to be the minority.

There are vanishingly few people from Gaza living in the west, which makes them the minority.

You see similar support between the LGBT community and communities of disabilities.
Good thing they're also running the service that decides who to kill based on their browsing history and what group chats they're in.
That felt to me to play the same role as "local footnotes" (those footnotes that sometimes appear not at the end of the page, but at the end of a short section or paragraph)?!

Short answer: they are often one and the same people - leftist activists who have opinions on more than one subject.

As I said elsewhere, morality is a social construct. Survival is a biological instinct.
cf Jane Jacobs on cities.

Just like you don't build a company and then look for a product, but instead start with a product and then build a company, she says you start with an economy and then grow a city, not grow a city and then look for an economy.

Have they talked about how local laws and elections will work? The backers are putting up a ton of capital and boot strapping it with $1B+ in community benefits and housing subsidies.

When it starts being populated, is it going to be run like a company town[0] where they control the stores and restaurants? How much control will they have over local elections?

Personally I do think you should try to avoid bringing politics into the workplace, but I also think it's fair game if the workplace brings politics to you.

Supporting one side or the other in such a highly contentious war is politics and anyone who tells you different simply thinks their politics is the right one.

Where does it say that these protestors represent the majority position at Google? Don't think I read that anywhere.
I think LGBT people might be against mass slaughter of civilians via bombing campaigns of areas heavily populated by civilians. I don't the the various conservative views held by those civilians matters too much in terms of them being slaughtered.

I think this is especially the case when their tax dollars are used for this bombing.
I find myself not wanting to agree with you, but deep down I think you're right.

AI greatly reminds me of the Library of Babel thought experiment. If we can imagine a library with every book that can possibly be written in any language, would it contain all human knowledge lost in a sea of noise? Is there merit or value in creating a system that sifts through such a library to attune hidden truths, or are we dooming ourselves to finding meaning in nothingness?

In a certain sense, there's immense value to developing concepts and ideas through intuition and thought. In another sense, a rose by any other name smells just as sweet; if an AI creates a perpetual motion device before a human does, that's not nothing. I don't expect AI to speed past human capability like some people do, but it's certainly displaced a lot of traditional computer-vision and text generation applications.
This is pretty cool, although DSLs can bring their own set of challenges vs writing SQL – how does it compare to dbt? (apart from it being python instead of SQL)

The difference is the massive strategic importance of not having such a reliance on a single location that your primary rival is claiming the right to take by force at any time.

Think of fabs as having similar advantages to being distributed as do data centers. Imagine the added cost and latency if every data center on Earth was located around SF?
I think there's a little ambiguity in the question here, between stuff like "what is the distribution of different books by sales" versus "what is the distribution of companies by market-share." (To illustrate the difference, imagine a world where 99% of all books were sold by UberPublisher but almost every book-title in their catalog is equally popular.)

If they facilitated its planning they aren’t being fired for their beliefs, but for their actions.
You should see physics. Stuff involving the large hadron collider can be pages of authors.

It costs so little to share the credit if someone was an asset.
The reason Spotify and Netflix don't make you wait is because they give the copyright owners money for views. A library does not, nor do I think they should.

The current business model of selling libraries ebooks that can only be viewed a max number of times before needing to be repurchased, or only for a limited amount of time, is a money grab pure and simple.
any new state changes the seats in the US Senate and House which changes the balance of power. Never going to happen, ask Puerto Rico.
My personal experience knowing a lot of authors is that even a unknown author manages to sell at least a hundred or a few hundred books.
Unless you're trying to make a living out of authoring books, I would say that selling more than a thousand books is already extraordinary success.
There's no tense, no verb ending, no conjugation, zero of any of that stuff in Chinese...the difference is night and day. There is barely any grammar to learn. I finished the Chinese grammar in less than a week lol

A few examples from endless notebook on Japanese grammar notes I have from lessons
- Various て forms, which have their own complexity and nuance. Spent almost a year on this
- Volitional forms
- X-なければ, conditionals, should/shouldn't
- the "te-shimau" form
- くれる / あげる
- Conjugations for past tense for the 3 different verb categories...which were so hard to remember
- しか
- ばかり
- ように
- X-ところだ
- X-ほうが-Y
- Command forms, conjugations, etc.

No, I don't believe Jinja would suffice. For starters, how would you abstract out the syntax differences between, say, HLSL and WGSL? Jinja's approach seems to be taking the syntax of the target language and embedding templating into it. But with Metashade, we're replacing the different syntaxes of individual target languages with that of Python. Since this approach is largely agnostic of the target language syntax, new targets can be added in the future without rewriting target-independent, polymorphic code implementing rendering or compute techniques.
Ledger seems too tedious to me for some reason. Tabbing through a form view like GnuCash was a lot easier/faster than ledger's CLI. Editing the text files isn't great either, the text formatting is white space heavy and meant to be readable (but not very writable). Would've been nice to have it as YAML or Jsonnet maybe.

I am uncertain if this is just me, but I am reading multiple conflicting paragraphs. Can someone enlighten me where I am misunderstanding?

Examples:

> only a small number of these ocean wave buoys have been deployed. That’s because they’re expensive and require complex calculations to process the data

A quick search shows that just by the NOAA of USA there are 1,331 buoys in the ocean. My assumption is that other Ocean going countries have their own buoys.
https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/

There are multiple open source projects to create open srouce ocean buoy electronics platforms (e.g., opensourceoceanweatherbuoy.wordpress.com and www.ocean-ops.org)

The pricing is indeed several in thousands of dollars for commercial solution, but there are open source solutions in sum $100. Data processing can and is off loaded in various ways from the bouys.

> instead of gathering dual-frequency satellite data—the current standard—their technology achieves lower costs, better accuracy, and real-time computation with single-frequency analysis.

then immediately followed by

> Dual-frequency satellite data collects data in two separate frequency bands. It is typically used to achieve more accurate measurements than data using a single frequency band

This makes no sense to me. This reads like dual-frequency satellites produce more accurate data. The innovation is to use single-frequency satellite, which produces less accurate data?

> dual-frequency approach involves additional computation that can inadvertently amplify measurement errors

The explanation why the single-frequency solution reads very hand-wavy.

> methods require post-processing that can take several days-sometimes up to a week

This reads reasonable only if the processing is on the buoy, but the previous notes are about that the dual-frequency buoys off-load the processing. Confused again.

Finally, recovery of the buoys at end of life so they do not become more trash in the oceans. The old adage "two is one, one is none" would make sense. Sure, we can reduce the buoys cost to $100, for the during the life of the buoy. Is there a recovery impact with cheap solutions?
I doubt it, in fact it will likely be safer. One important thing about prions is there's basically only one protein that does it*, and it's only really produced in the brain. So lab-grown meat with no brain involved is less likely to have prions. You can even genetically engineer organisms to not have the protein, though it does seem to cause learning difficulties (hasn't stopped an attempt with farmed cows). Lab-grown meat could much more easily include that as well.

*There's another brain-degeneration disease thought to be caused by a prion behaviour in a slightly different protein, but it's not confirmed and it doesn't change the main point. You may also ask why there are so many different prion diseases, and they've basically due to slight differences in this protein between species as well as different mutations which can cause it to occur spontaneously (like Fatal Familial Insomnia).
I'm not defending this but as an important data point, in most states in the US it is entirely legal to fire people for political speech. This is not a First Amendment issue. The First Amendment restricts the government and extensions of the government. Whether you agree with this action or not, let's still deal with facts. Agree with them or not, they're taking a stand for something they believe in that comes at potentially great cost to them and you have to at least respect that.

Now I want to bring up Time's 2019 Person of the Year, Greta Thunberg. Remember her? The teenager who spoke out for climate action, something she was widely lauded for. You don't hear much about her now even though she's still active (eg [1]). Why is that? Because she started criticizing capitalism [2].

Why do I bring her up? Because she was praised while doing performative speech over climate change and sidelined when her criticism was at odds with the bottom line.

That's exactly what's happening at Google and most other companies. They're happy to put up rainbow flags and celebrate Pride because it's performative. It doesn't affect the bottom line. It's good PR in that way.

But these protestors were demanding action that would put Google at odds with the US government policy and that cannot be tolerated. We've seen this before. Google famously pulled out of China over censorship many years ago [3] but the bottom line meant they tried (and failed) to go back in years later [4].

For the record, what I've described above (with both Greta Thunberg and Google) is simply materialist analysis.

All politics should not be acceptable in some sense. As in it's fine to discuss your views with colleagues over lunch. It's fine to express concerns privately over appropriate channels.

If you disagree with the contracts your company takes on you can always quit. There is no need to make your coworkers feel threatened for just doing their job.

Either attribute or don't use it, that's what the license says.

Power infrastructure, water infrastructure, public services, telecom, road design, etc. are all things that very, very much benefit from central planning. Urban planning is not nearly the same as a centrally planned economy.
