Based on what my doctors told me, migraines can be triggered by blood vessels constricting and dilating. Caffeine causes the same kind of motion, meaning it can cause migraines but also reverse them, which is why they are both a trigger and remedy.

I've known tons of people paid to basically do nothing, and periodically that's applied to me as well, at basically every place I've ever worked. This is despite some teams being constantly understaffed. I'm not sure why Big Tech would be immune from that.

Sounds like an assumption on your part. Regardless, I think you're missing the point entirely. Marines eliminate humans too but that doesn't mean humans aren't a threat. It's also a test, I'd expect them to become more polished before being fielded. These also aren't your average guys testing them either (MARSOC). Special forces looking for an edge.

I've also learned this lesson from the offline businesses I've had. The phrase I always use is: 'Power lies in action.' All the companies, when I started, none of them began with total perfection. Let's take an example, Elon Musk's Xpace X, among others. How many errors to, in the end, get it right. It's impossible to start in perfection.
Interesting reply :) Some thoughts: (1) "The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe" contains in certain ways a re-telling of the Gospels in a way that speaks to children. But its a great story in itself, one can take or leave it's resemblance to the bible, its also enjoyed by atheists. I'd debate seeing it as blasphemy. Why would God object to the bible story being respun by an author who's themselves a Christian with such decent motives for writing? (2) Racial insensitive stereotypes- sure that's a problem in older books, some bad examples too in the highly entertaining "Just William" series, but these can be an opportunity to talk to children about what's appropriate to say , and how thinking has moved on in good ways. I'd support reprints of such books having extra text added to point out that some content would nowadays be considered racist or whatever (3) Hobbit being banned for witchcraft - to be honest, whoever is banning this is nuts IMHO. Should "Hansel and Gretel" be banned too then? You're probably gonna tell me it has been. Kids have enjoyed stories about witches for centuries. Who has the right to tell them that's not allowed? They know its fantasy. (4) I take your point about it being a PITA to look after a library as a school teacher, especially in the current climate particularly in USA. Maybe there needs to be a ban on bans? ;) Apart from restrictions due to age appropriateness, who is anyone to tell someone else what they're allowed to read? (5) "classic books adults think children ought to like" -its a fair point- I can imagine some adults might do that, sure, not all kids like classics. With our kids we just try to guarantee them access to the good stuff new and old, partly just take them to the library and see what they find. If one ever pushes a kid to read, or read a certain thing, they'll rightly push back. Not for adults to force them, just to provide them with quality stuff. I think the original article though was complaining of the market dropping out for content for 9-yr-olds, but really you'd want to read a mix of classics and modern though, right? Same as a symphony orchestra wouldn't play ONLY Beethoven or ONLY 21st century composers?

I have to admit, I don't get it. (And I want to be clear that's a personal statement, not an overall comment on the app. It looks quite well done, and if others get value from it, awesome!)

But for me, I'm stuck with questions. What's the point of drawing connectors, there seems no implied data flow? Is this just for you as a reminder of the hierarchy of your queries? Or do you actually set the upstream chat as a context, and reflow the whole thing if you change upstream queries? (That one would definitely be fun to play with - still not sure about long-term value, but def. interesting)

Good luck, and looking forward to see where you're taking this!

Typically the people without side projects also make excuses to not do those either.

If I had a company I'd offer looking over an existing project or a project where you create a side project of your choice without any further direction.

So not mandatory but the easiest way to go probably. Once you apply to my company you'll have one to show for next time at least.

(If you want to write the project out on the whiteboard instead I guess feel free, that seems hard though.)
Right, but for people in their first couple of years of climbing, it can be really helpful to try to solve it, then see what the AI coach says, examine the diff, and thereby improve your solving and climbing skills.

I have definitely discovered in my life that I learn probably 10x faster in situations where I can try something, and then immediately compare it with an expert solution. Rather than just trying and trying and trying on my own.

And once you're experienced in climbing (like you probably are), then of course you don't need to compare anymore. The joy is in the solving. But expert solutions are really helpful to get to the point where you can consider yourself experienced, so much more quickly.
I grew up in a family printing company and we were surrounded by trade publications and product catalogs - ranging from the paper industry to digital imaging (way back in the early 90s!).

Many of them were the usual sort of drab industry stuff you might expect in a non-sexy dying industry like printing. But a few of them, particularly from paper companies, were often beautiful works of art with some of the best graphic design I've ever seen combined (obviously) with absolutely immaculate selection of paper products throughout the publications. Just beautiful stuff.

A few of them were so great I read and reread them as a child just for the visual awe they inspired in me.

Sadly most of that stuff was tossed over the years, but I'd love to see even a digital archive of some of that material.
Most likely your experience is more relevant than mine, but regarding performance, while it is true that C# and Java are fast enough that for many, if not most, applications are indistinguishable form C++, the raise and raise of JS and python (languages with questionable and downright terrible performance respectively) in the last decade make me think that implementation performance has not been a significant factor. Hardware advances might be relevant though.

Re maintenance, I'm not sure that a C++ program is more costly to maintain. I suspect that C++ is over-represented in multimillion line codebases.

In any case, I think you might be right, it certainly is possible that an optimal "full stack" language (if you allow me the term) just doesn't exist. I would settle for a control-plane language that is easily embeddable and can be easily embedded in a native C or C++ (or rust, or whatever) application.

Good question.

By my understanding , in principle yes you could use ZK proofs - you can imagine it as a way to prove a certain assertion (age >= 18) in a way that isn't directly linked to other data. You sometimes see this in conceptual ID card specifications - using keys on a smart card to give a signed attestation about a single attribute without sharing other ones.

Ultimately though, when you need to actually implement it, you'll end up needing the same core concept as the thought experiment above - you'll need one or more "trusted central authorities" whose word is trusted on a given asserted attribute (age, etc).

They'll need a way to prove that they vouched for a user (as there's no digital way to validate their age as that's an unverifiable claim). You'll then need a way for the "bearer" of a ZK proof to tie themselves to that trusted central authority's attestation, and you'll need a way to prevent the information needed to generate that ZK proof being shared with others for replay.

A ZK proof will still need that external trusted authority for an attribute like age, because age isn't something you can root some kind of cryptographic trust from.

I'm not an expert in the ZK crypto either, but it doesn't deliver a magical ability to prove a (biological analog world claim) without chaining back to a trusted verifier of said claim, and effectively delivering that sort of "thought experiment" protocol.

Sometimes though, the complex solutions tend towards the simple - you could issue people "age verification" smart cards (if you have enough confidence in CC EAL6 or similar cards, and their side channel resistance) which are "group keyed" with common attestation signing keys for every million (or another suitable anonymity threshold) users, and share the public keys used (to allow verification you haven't been given a special unique public key), and then allow signed card-issued anonymous attestations. That would work for as long as you can keep the smartcard-backed key secure against side channel/ key extraction attacks.

The user adoption challenge in all this is getting users onboard and demonstrating it's a private solution rather than an excuse to oversee their online activities more, but I do believe you could do this in a manner that's going to make it easier to just identify them from IP address and adtech trackers or similar external means.
The adult is vulnerable as hell but children are an order of magnitude more vulnerable. Consider an adult with ADHD who can't stop themselves from these traps and consider a child with the same condition, possibly the child of a parent with ADHD. The adult is at least aware something is wrong, for the child there's no baseline and the patters are ingrained deeper.
I don't know much about C#. It certainly looks more popular in gamedev circles.

When I played with this new java api. I wasn't worried about the FFI cost. It seemed fast enough to me. My toy application was performing about 0.77x of pure C equivalent. I think Java's memory model and heavy heap use might hurt more. Hopefully Java will catch up when it gets value objects with Project Valhalla. Next decade or so :)

Right, those are important considerations, but I don't think that they're the same consideration. If you ask whether a celebrity chef is better at cooking a certain dish than I am, then the answer (no matter the dish, for I'm not much of a chef) is almost certainly "yes." If I answered instead no, that the provenance of a dish matters, that the celebrity-chef culture is bad for fine dining, and that my wife would rather have the dish made by me, then I think I'd be regarded as missing the point of the question, even if my objections were true on their own.
What about when you try to solve the problem and you get stuck and can't? Or solve it but in a bad way that requires way too much exertion?

The point is to try to solve it yourself, then compare with an expert solution, and therefore learn how to improve.

If you're just blindly trying to problem-solve through trial and error without ever comparing against expert feedback, you're going to learn climbling extremely slowly...
> is in modern societies the society is footing the bill

This isn't exactly true.... All societies always have footed the bill, modern or not. If you cast the person out in a middle age society then expect to get robbed by bandits on your next visit to the town next door.

Which emphasizes why you should attempt to minimize wrongdoing before it gets expensive, when you don't it turns into that story of "there was an old lady who swallowed a fly"

Indemnity is moving the goal posts, no? So you’re conceding that their data isn’t clean. But they say it’s clean.

This support contract stuff: what are you talking about? You download these models, you use them. What would you pay for? It’s not clean data, they say it’s clean: why would I pay liars? Let’s game out the indemnity idea. I pay $10k/mo for 12 months. Then OpenAI loses v. NYTimes, ruled LLM training is not fair use, need express permission. IBM pulls the models. What the hell did I pay $120k for? And by the way, you can pay a law student 1 beer to tell you OpenAI is going to lose because of Warhol v Goldsmith. You can do whatever you want with your money, but I personally would not waste it on worthless indemnity.
Omg another C++ build system. Who woulda thought we needed another.
Reading through this blog, to me it seems Parquet is lot like ClickHouse native data format.

Best part of ClickHouse native data format is I can use the same ClickHouse queries and can run in local or remote server/cluster and let ClickHouse to decide the available resources in the most performant way.

ClickHouse has a native and the fastest integration with Parquet so i can:

- Query local/s3 parquet data from command line using clickhouse-local.

- Query large amount of local/s3 data programmatically by offloading it to clickhouse server/cluster which can do processing in distributed fashion.

> Different kinds of fun, but in the former you'll wonder if it's the technology doing all the work.

"All the work" is useless hyperbol. There are things that simply can't be done on a road bike. There are things that can be done on a road bike without a significant loss of safety.

Sport technology can reduce the skill required for certain things, but it also tends to extend the envelope of what is possible. It is almost never correct to think of technology doing all the work but rather to think of it as an ability multiplier.

There are of course, times when it is beneficial to practice without a specific piece of equipment. Either for a challenge or/and to hone a specific sub skill.

Haha tell this to the gRPC people.

I could see this being cool for decentralization/peer-to-peer. It's essentially HTTP in front of a FS. It could be implemented as anything from a blockchain to a NoSQL db to AWS S3.

And looking at the repo it's like a decade old. Would be really cool if OP could find a use case and share that - I think that of all libs/frameworks: Show me the thing being made with it.

It's not all that energetically disfavorable to extract oxygen if you're already compressing the gas. There is a lot of demand for concentrated oxygen too, so one could manufacture it as a side product instead of storing it.

As far as 'closed loop' sadly that does break the economics, I think-- part of the reason why cryogenic nitrogen storage is interesting is because the nitrogen expands 800 fold at atmospheric pressure, so the container for the decompressed nitrogen would be gigantic.
I hope we have a good definition of software engineering, since I have a degree in it, but I'm biased.

If it's not a zero knowledge system, it's a bad system. I know i will trigger the ancaps here, but this is typically a case where the government has to be on it, and _has_ to be great.

Like a secret, digital ID that will allow you to generate a code easily (with both an app for the ease of access, and a website where you just have to input your ID and a validation code that change every X years and that you receive with your voter ID or something).

This code is an auth token to an API that will just respond "OK" if the token is a valid token, but should have no idea who issued it.

The advantage is that if you extends it to be send before an online purchase, or to be send SM to limit some features before like, 16 yo, you can make it so that even if the government lies and tries to identify who generated the auth token, if multiple private companies use a third party SaaS to handle it, the government can't know why the token was used.
Why dont C++ devs just write their code in CMake? Would probably solve the build system issue.
I suspect that, absent that information about the exact right way to grab a hold, or the exact way to put a foot on a hold, you'll be limited to beta suggestions, which is fine, I think. It'd be like having a group of other climbers nearby to suggest different beta, even if you don't have any friends.

So, in terms of solving complicated beta faster, I see real utility to this.

It is very interesting that since the AI climber is trained on actual climbers, it could, in principle, provide beta to climb consistent with your own style. If you train the bot exclusively on footage of yourself, it would return movement based on your style. If your style is finessy-all-backstep-all-the-time (aka The Edlinger), it can provide beta consistent with that. If your style is to square up and pull (otherwise known as The American), it can provide beta consistent with that instead.

How do you decide which plants to list? Is it just the inventory from a few niche sellers? Seems to be missing a lot of really common plants. I couldn't find apple or pear trees for instance.

Honestly just checking it out briefly, it didn't seem super useful. Why is there no way to sort by your plant hardiness zone?
I don't think so, given that there are more popular Java libraries than popular libraries with a C ABI. There is a small number of very popular C libraries that result in the majority of native call uses. But in any event, calling native libraries in Java is now no longer a pain thanks to FFM (and jextract [1]) so we'll see.

Note that interaction with native libraries often requires a more careful management of native memory that, though much easier now with FFM, is still significantly trickier (and more dangerous in terms of introducing undefined behaviour) than interacting with Java code regardless of how that interaction is declared in code. In Java, as in Python, interaction with native code -- in the vast majority of cases -- is best encapsulated inside a Java library and not often directly exposed to application programmers.
