The article doesn't mention which EBS volume type was used, but since Provisioned IOPS are mentioned, I assume it's gp3 or io2. One pattern that is especially often used in Time Series databases, but could work for Kafka too, is not tiering down to S3, but changing older volumes to a slower volume type, such as sc1 ($0.015/GiB-Mo). This can be done completely transparently to the application.

Another thing worth looking into is S3 Mountpoint with or without read caching, which offers a POSIX-like interface for S3 to applications that don't natively support S3.

Your argument is meaningless if you don't specify what threshold there should be for harm

Otherwise you also have to complain about the stifling of open source bioagent research, open source nuclear warheads, open source human cloning protocols

Those are also all dual-use technologies that are objectively morally neutral
This is why Synthesisers allow you to control the ADSR Envelope - the decay and sustain on a piano, makes its a bit of beast to sit comfortably in a mix or - as you've noted - fairly dissonant and unmusical when played as a keyboard as opposed to a discrete acoustic instrument with its own preferred range of operation in terms of pitch, timbre and dynamics.

The answer? Tailor the use-case to the instrument, as orchestras have done for thousands of years. A trumpet riff won't sound appropriate or evocative played on a xylophone anymore a Cello aria on a French Horn.

A masterclass on this is Wendy Carlos' Opus 'Switched On Bach', whose entire inspiration was to make "appealing music you could really listen to" using the then-new synthesiser technology.

>Are there? You could have a class decorator to mark a definition as incomplete and only allow member functions, types and constant definitions:

C++ already has a way to do this via inheritance, even multiple inheritance. I suppose some of the same machinery used for inheritance could be repurposed for partial class definitions but it is unnecessary.

Edit: I think I overlooked something here at first glance. Yes it might be nice to have a public partial definition of a class and a private full definition. But the technical reason you can't have this is that using a class in C++ requires knowing its memory characteristics. If that information does not come from the code, then it must come from somewhere else like a binary. Maybe the partial definition could be shorthand for "use PIMPL" but I haven't thought through all the ways it could go wrong, such as with inheritance.

>edit: there are also very good reasons to fwd declare templates. You might want to add support in your interface for an std template without imposing it to all users of your header. In most companies I have worked, we had technically illegal fwd headers for standard templates.

I have never seen illegal forward declaration headers. Not at any company I've worked at, nor in any open-source project. I don't think there is a reasonable value proposition to doing that. What kind of speedup are you expecting from that?

>You might want to add support in your interface for an std template without imposing it to all users of your header.

This sounds good in theory but in practice, most interfaces I've seen use the same handful of types or std headers, so it can't be avoided and furthermore you'd be forcing everyone to bring their own std headers every time (and probably forget why they ever included them in their own code, in the first place). You'd be talking about a lot of trouble to maybe save one simple include, and introducing a lot of potential for unused and noisy includes elsewhere.
Nice straw man there, my point is that he failed to instantiate any failures, so it seems very manipulative.

He could have for instance have used that link to verify, and I wouldn't have been thought that it was weird that he said that people were fleeing, without providing proof.

Since this post likely is geared towards engineers and scientifically minded people, and he is in fact calling for people to resign, I suppose so that he or she can take over, is sources and data really to much to ask for?

If your calling for people to resign so that you can take over, which seems quite audacious to begin with, at least you should be able to clearly explain, where the people have failed, so that they can defend themselves.
My knowledge is that Silverblue is kind of image based and you get reproducibility with snapshots. This makes me think it's like docker.

Whereas Nix is about reproducibility all the way down to the individual libraries and software.
The systems described in the article don’t sound like RAG at all.

RAG systems have a much lower propensity to hallucinate, and generate verifiable citations from the source material.

The big hole - I basically have learned the fun bits of STEM(3d Printing, Laser cutting, CNC, microcontrollers/electronics etc) over the last few years. I graduated with a ME degree 25 years ago but left engineering shortly after to go into the startup world. Built a career out of helping scale startups and now decided to retire and focus on my interest as I never had time or energy.

My current rabbit hole is tuning my home's boiler to be more efficient in its use of gas. It is an interesting engineering problem because the lack of feedback loop since the thermostat is dumb and specific home variables makes smart thermostats useless as well as boiler sizing more complex than most installers understand. My goal is to add some features specific to my home to reduce gas consumption based on more variables - outside temp, minimum outside temp, sun/clouds and home variables like brick wall temp, fireplace heat, boiler controller settings as well as the wifes 'I'm cold' variable.

I am using a microcontroller and custom current switch as well as IOTSTACK to send inlet/outlet temp and gas valve & circulator state (on/off) to influxdb/grafana so I can see what is happening between thermostat and boiler controller. I have identified a few freebies in terms of consumption and inefficiencies. I have added a relay to delay the gas valve once the boiler starts cycling to reduce "short cycling" which is a waste of gas on startup and a mini explosion every time gas lights. I have managed to reduce cycles in half which helps with wear and tear as well as the number of boom sounds coming from my boiler room :)

I would love to go down the simulink rabbit hole but I think I will not.
Last I checked google was in hybrid mode. That is 3 days a week in office max. Also, Last I checked a week was 7 days. Lastly, its not whole career change. Switching from Google to Netflix as a software engineer is not a career change.

I disagree that management holds the cards. Jobs are being threatened whether you work hard or not. You can double your productivity and still be cut in the next round of layoffs (and suffer burnout, stress, depression etc). In such a situation, it makes sense to quiet quit and prepare yourself for the time when you do get cut. Besides savings, the lesson here is to prioritize self over a job every day. In fact, if management did held the cards, they'd make the move that increases productivity and morale, not alienates the entire workforce.

Also I think those with families should be extra motivated to interview elsewhere in the current climate. They should be more scared of getting laid off and ending up jobless than having to move to another city with a new job.
> I don’t really understand the long term plan

My guess: everything that slows down ai development is good, because it gives society time to adapt.

(I think this plan is flawed, because it is easier to adapt to open research than to closed research)
That's a good thing, no? I don't understand why you'd ban/force a sale of tiktok but not CapCut and the others.

And yes it's illiberal but I don't see why liberal democracies should tolerate totalitarian regimes messing with our kids, voting public, monitoring our phones etc etc. The ByteDance CEO is clearly on a leash and can't speak frankly about lack of human rights in certain countries etc, they're not fit to operate like this.

I do appreciate the irony of Facebook et al doing much of the same things and I think that should be addressed too, but at least they're not under control of an antagonistic foreign government.
I mean, I think that is the problem with "insurance" vs "coverage". "Insurance" is about pooling unlikely but costly risk, like getting hit by a meteorite. Unlikely, it happens, but there will be head trauma, CAT scans, x-rays, and hospital stays. That is what insurance is perfectly aimed at.

People with known medical issues aren't really looking for insurance, they aren't pooling risk, they are sick. They need coverage. Businesses can easily handle insurance, but coverage is another matter. You are talking about people you know will cost more than they payout. That's charity, and better left to the state than the private sector.
My bad, I only used them as an example. I was unaware they were doing open source work.

You really should not be in open source if you believe it is your purview to ideologically police the usage and contribution to your software. That notion is incompatible with the spirit of the endeavor.

Yes I am aware of it, but Russia has been talking about doing big stuff for decades now with mainly a rapidly decaying space industry to show for it, and none of the other partners are exactly notable space industry participants either. So it just looks like a way to appear to be competing with Artemis without having to actually put in the same kind of effort.

I get the impression that it'll fall apart once Artemis starts doing crewed lunar landings and China will just have to do its own independent thing. Kind of like the initial claims about Russia participating in China's space station, where it turns out that Tiangong is in an orbit that Soyuz can't even reach from its current launch sites. Then Russia claimed to be building their own space station for post-ISS activities, only to later downgrade further into a station that is not always occupied.

Put differently, it seems even less serious than when any US official uses 'sustainable' and 'SLS' in the same sentence.

> Most stocks underperform the bond market, but the stock market as a whole outperforms the bond market.

Most people don't realize how much most stocks suck:

> We study long-run shareholder outcomes for over 64,000 global common stocks during the January 1990 to December 2020 period. We document that the majority, 55.2% of U.S. stocks and 57.4% of non-U.S. stocks, underperform one-month U.S. Treasury bills in terms of compound returns over the full sample. Focusing on aggregate shareholder outcomes, we find that the top-performing 2.4% of firms account for all of the $US 75.7 trillion in net global stock market wealth creation from 1990 to December 2020. Outside the US, 1.41% of firms account for the $US 30.7 trillion in net wealth creation.

* https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3710251

> Four out of every seven common stocks that have appeared in the CRSP database since 1926 have lifetime buy-and-hold returns less than one-month Treasuries. When stated in terms of lifetime dollar wealth creation, the best-performing four percent of listed companies explain the net gain for the entire U.S. stock market since 1926, as other stocks collectively matched Treasury bills. These results highlight the important role of positive skewness in the distribution of individual stock returns, attributable both to skewness in monthly returns and to the effects of compounding. The results help to explain why poorly-diversified active strategies most often underperform market averages.

* https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2900447

> […] Since 1926, the median ten-year return on individual U.S. stocks relative to the broad equity market is –7.9%, underperforming by 0.82% per year. For stocks that have been among the top 20% performers over the previous five years, the median ten-year market-adjusted return falls to –17.8%, underperforming by 1.94% per year. Since the end of World War II, the median ten-year market-adjusted return of recent winners has been negative for 93% of the time. The case for diversifying concentrated positions in individual stocks, particularly in recent market winners, is even stronger than most investors realize.

AI is a personal tutor, amd the biggest change in education since the invention of writing.

I imagine a day when it is socially unacceptable to hire someone to do something for you. You have AI and Amazon, why not learn, order the parts, and do it yourself? Imagine a world where we all work a few hours a week but occupy ourselves learning new skills and applying those skills to improve our environments. This would also keep us ready to be useful at work.

I am reminded of a famous quote:
"A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects."

I don't have any knowledge about nix, the community, about Eelco Dolstra, or about this particular drama. What I do know is that there is no such thing as "community leadership" and that extremely long diatribes about the flaws of the founder can be safely ignored.

People who are unhappy with the community or the direction of nix should leave and start their own thing. They'll discover that building something is actually a great deal harder than it looks from the outside.
Laws should be about the outcome, not about processes that may lead to an outcome. It is already illegal in California to produce your own nuclear weapon. Instead of outlawing books, because they allow research into building giant gundam robots, just outlaw giant gundam robots.

Nice video. Arthur Bradley has done tons of legwork educating and doing QA interviews on Youtube, just search his name and "EMP".

> unless... the fuses/surge-protectors cannot cope (unlikely). Hint: buy a Siemens surge protector.

Dr Bradley also stresses flipping your main breaker, as soon as possible (and ideally beforehand). Surge protectors work for short spikes, but constant overvoltage (like the slow-rising E3, which builds over seconds-to-minutes) will destroy them instantly once the grid voltage rises to meet the SPU cutoff voltage.

After many teardowns he does recommend the FS140, but it wasn't a blanket recommendation for all Siemens products. Quality varies across their surge product line, from what I've seen.

They've already tried banning synthetics. I remember 14 years ago when buying JWH-018 it was sold as "bonsai fertilizer" and then my state banned it by name along with "all other analogues" though I don't know how effective that particular ban was as the people importing/making spice just used different chemicals that weren't explicitly named.

The main draw to this isn't that it's a 3rd rate experience, it's a high that won't show up on drug screens so it was very popular among people on probation back then. Delta 8 still shows up on drug screens but many of the synthetics don't, so if you "can't get caught" but still want to get high people are more likely to reach for research chemicals for the same reason people do krokodil even knowing they will likely have side effects.
No one said it's been done. There has been healthy debate about the fact that there hasn't been any (major) new social media networks since Snap (and Instagram before it). The cloud computing paradigm is now mostly dominated by 2 players (with GCP a distant third). here are 2 major desktop OSes, 2 major mobile OSes. etc.

This isn't proof that it won't happen again, it just says that the rate at which new innovations in software (and a new workout app doesn't count) has slowed down. LLMs being the exception but it's not like you and I can start an AI company in our garage.
Sure but this letter is not by "every member", not even close. It's just a letter by a very loud minority. In such a case I don't think the outcome is actually all that clear. As people have been saying from the beginning, the writers of the letter can always just fork the codebase and the fact that they haven't done that implies that they are unsure if enough of the community would follow them.

It wasn't hard at all as long as the pond is deep enough per my earlier comments and the fish are not freshwater tropicals (we've had comets, shibunkin, and koi make it through without any issue, including deep freezes of 10F/-10C lasting a week or two). Keep the pump on all winter for oxygen. Remove the taro to a filled bucket and stick it on a sunny shelf inside.

Once the temp drops below 40 degrees F (~5C) the fish go dormant, usually under some dead leaves at the bottom or in the cinderblock we have at the deep end. When ice forms they will be fine, as the bubbling pump keeps an open spot for oxygen (it should be bubbling about 1 inch above the water line and not splashing outside the pond liner). If it's a deep freeze and the pump forms an ice bubble, break it open with a hammer. The rest of the ice can stay on the pond surface.

I think the downvotes come from people who don't like to believe this is true. But it is true, at least the part about retail investors being unable to compete. Sure there are occasional ones who win the lottery, but in general large institutions can afford to devote their attention full time to finding out what to invest in, get lower rates for leverage, and probably also use inside info more often than is discovered.
