I find it funny that observations of the cognitive capabilities of animals like in the featured article always induce people to come up with convoluted alternative ways to word the "anthropomorphic" descriptions of the behavior. "Oh that crow isn't counting, it's just basic pattern recognition associating specific quantities with specific sounds", "oh that octopus isn't playing, it's just throwing the bottle around as a stress response to boredom", etc. I get wanting to be careful not to misinterpret the behavior of specices which have evolved different social structures (if any) and under different selective pressures, but sometimes the simplest explanation really is that the animal is doing a "human behavior".
I've been thinking about doing this myself, so it's fantastic to see a project.

I find a files-centric (and more broadly filesystem-centric) approach easier to grapple with than one that focuses on apps (and hiding away the data). It makes it much easier to access my own data for other purposes outside of what the app provides. In particular when the files are in plain-text or otherwise human-editable. I can reuse all of the existing tool that I'm familiar with to search, modify or re-purpose the data.

Your prior post was an expression of genuine confusion about whether all music videos are made on VHS.
You're right on the money. The magic of VMWare before is that it did enough for a low enough cost that it made sense for all sorts of orgs, even those that were quite cost sensitive.

But higher ed is weird for the reasons you mention.

To elaborate a bit: before commercialization, universities were a huge part of the early internet, and they invested heavily in datacenters and connectivity at a time when "the cloud" didn't exist.

They also have weird cost models and paying for power/cooling is sometimes done in a way that IT doesn't even account for that burden at all.

So to a large degree, shutting down on-prem stuff to move to "the cloud" has never made financial sense for unis, and they've always had to adapt to whatever datacenter tech has been required over the long decades.

That means they're staffed with people who never forgot how to run workloads directly on the metal, and aren't afraid to build it themselves rather than just move to a vendor. When it comes to the VMWare / Broadcom situation, "once bitten, twice shy" is going to be in the back of their minds - they know they'll be around for decades to come, and nobody wants to have to migrate early due to another rug pull.

That’s not completely accurate.

In the US, equity given as compensation for work could be taxed as wages, or, under certain circumstances, as capital gains.

The one year is for some capital gains to get considered long term gains, which may be taxed at a lower marginal rate than regular wages.

In other words, if you are granted equity as compensation, go talk at length to a tax professional to get an understanding of the taxation of it.

I'd like to learn more about the dual license "MIT OR Apache-2.0": is there any practical advantage of using one over the other? Are there any expected use cases where Apache-2.0 wouldn't be appropriate but MIT would?

I had always assumed that if the time came to choose a permissive OSS license, I'd just go with Apache-2.0 for the more complete legal ground that it provides (especially wrt. patents). Didn't even occur to me that it would as much as make sense to offer MIT too (like, why not also BSD now that we're at it?)
Exactly, just reminiscent of the movie. So the tweet really proves nothing in this case, unlike what some people seem to believe.

Start engaging in activities that you enjoy and that involve a group of people. Dance classes, Tai Chi, makerspaces, swimming, crafts, whatever floats your boat.

The key is that you should be genuinely into whatever activities you're doing rather than doing them to meet women.

The idea is that you'll be around people who share an interest with you and that you're engaging in that interest with. You have an automatic ice-breaker there. Something in common right off the bat. You may not (or you might!) meet a dating partner there, but you'll make friends who have friends. You'll enlarge your social circle and bring new people into your orbit. Including women.

But, and I can't stress this enough, don't do these things to meet women. Don't hit on women when doing them. You're just growing a social network and that will naturally get you the things that a social network brings.

Edit: Unless, as another comment here suggests, your goal is just to get laid. If that's the case, my advice here isn't useful.
Well that's horrifying.

Essentially, it generated 3 random, single-label (so, "TLD") queries, and ran them through DNS. Whatever recurser that lands at obviously wouldn't have random junk in its cache (unlike probably any other root record) and thus had to go to the root servers for it.

They did this to try to not display an omnibox result for single words (the example in the article is "marketing") on what I'm going to just call "broken networks"; see TFA if you're curious.

I agree with the zealots but there could be better ways - for one, make the replacement screens "unpaired" by default, maybe using a WORM to store keys, so people (or repair shops) could still repair their phones with legit replacement screens while "second hand" aka parted-out displays would still be impeded.

Replacing Internet infrastructure is incredibly difficult. We'll all be switching over to IPv6... any decade now.

DNS was flawed, but it was very good for the time, and it still is the keystone around which the entire Internet functions. That's pretty incredible for a system that has indeed received a lot of patches. And DNSSEC might turn out to be just as well designed as the original DNS. Besides, what are we going to replace it with,

Glover v. Universal was settled out of court at the behest of Universal's insurer. We don't know who would have prevailed if it had continued.

Where’s the incongruence?

At a macro scale, anything that happens in time can be considered as a sort of wave that we perceive as an object because of the way we are sampling it

Even basic things, like when you measure your own weight, will vary throughout the day/time, but instead of considering them a wave, we usually just “collapse it” into some sort of average of observations

Conceptually at least, both models seem to represent the same

How are they not compatible? Is it a math issue?
It's seems like the slippery slope argument is saying it would be risky for an AD to say "we need a deep gravelly voice, but more like Donald Sutherland than Robert Loggia. Let's see who we get that has that vibe." I don't see it. What the industry wants to be able to do is say "We want Donald Sutherland but don't want to pay his rates. Let's pay this company that has modeled his voiceover style so we can have our own Donald Sutherland."

I think the Marvin Gaye ruling is concerning, especially because no mere mortal could hope to either launch or defend themselves against such an action. However, I don't think those extremes are a reason to just say "oh well. I guess fair use should apply to nearly all derivative use, even commercially. If that means creativity is only commercially viable for AI companies now, so be it." Professional creative expertise can't be replaced by generative AI, and it's important to or society, but copyright is the only set of guardrails on the only viable market for many creative fields. I'd love to abolish copyright, but first is love to live in a society that could support the millions of people that use it as currency.

Also, real-world numbers tend to swarm around powers of 10 and, in computers, powers of 2. It might make sense to encode those in a special way. E.g. <pow2-prefix><var-len-power><0/1 - to subtract one> and <pow10-prefix><var-len-power><0/1 - to subtract one>. E.g. assuming 10 prefix reserved for pow2 and 11 for pow10, 255 would be encoded as 10_1000_1, 65535 would be 10_10000_1, 65536 would be 10_10000_0, and 10000 would be 11_11_0.

That's a cute idea but it does not work, if you run the numbers.

The formula for potential energy is mgh, where m = mass, g = gravitational acceleration (approx 10 m/s2) and h is the height.

Let's say the vertical tunnel you want to build is 200 meters deep and 1m by 1m. Half of the shaft is rock, it's the thing you lift and lower. That's 100 m by 1m by 1m, which means 100 m3. You use lead, which has a density of about 11 tons/m3. Let's round to 1000 tons, or one million kg. Moving this column of lead from the lowest point to the highest requires the energy of mgh = 1 million times 10 times 100 = 1 billion Joules. Divide that by 3600 and you get about 280 kWh. For comparison the battery of a Tesla S has a capacity of 100 kWh.

Totally on the roadmap, but not sure when yet!

The problem is data gets into these mega-excels through all sorts of funky routes... and I really do mean funky :)

1. PowerQuery: this is defined statically in the notebook so is detectable by Pyoneer. But I don't know a ton about the integration in Python here. I imagine this is doable.

2. Manual data entry: Pyoneer can't detect this from a static Excel file, really - what's the difference between the static Excel sheet and data updates ever time? Oftentimes, users with a lot of manual data entry to "automate this in Python" by turning an Excel file into like a form. Generating a proper web app out of the Excel file would be pretty sweet!

3. Database output copied - aka, copy in a table. This one is sometimes pretty crazy - I've seen Excel workbooks that have SQL queries just copied and pasted into a random cell in the notebook, so you can copy that and run it on some archaic SQL server. And then copy the output back in...

4. Macros: runs an API call, or an SQL query, or pulls (and then formats) data from another Excel sheet. Then put it in the right place. This then requires translating Macros - which are a whole programming language of their own. This is actually pretty high-priority for us right now, based on early feedback from developers who are in the thick of it with big Excel files.

6. Custom plugins. Big finance shops build/buy plugins that pull in data all the time! We haven't really started investigating how to handle these.

5. Other workbooks: at large banks, there's an additional dependency graph of workbooks that rely on eachother across the org. It's epic. There's a single workbook that defines all market holidays, that's used for all excel files that do performance reporting. And then these performance reports feed into other Excel's (by way of direct references, but also by way of copy and pasting, but also by way of uploading/downloading through a database). Support multiple Excel files at once is something we'll have to tackle eventually!

So... there's a lot to do here. We're really early - so we're focused on two primary things right now:

1. Solving the most pressing pain points first. Hence the early launch so we can talk to more folks and prioritize better. I've got a reasonable idea since I've done so much of this work myself, but every finance shop does things different...

2. Leaving good TODOs when we can't translate something. Currently, we can't translate pivot tables or complex formulas -- but we generate TODOs for these so you can go back and fill them in with the Python skills you have (and maybe the help of ChatGPT).

We're aiming to just give you a Python script. So if we don't translate the data pull how you want... you can just edit the notebook :)

Corvidae are very intelligent, and can readily recognize individual people.

Over the winter we tossed out a few peanuts while wearing the same baseball cap, and whistling a specific song. After awhile, the crows changed their dialogues when we walked in the area, and indeed they certainly can communicate with each-other about their environment.

We found this rather surprising, and gained a deeper appreciation for their antics. As a consequence, the birds often indicate when someone/something new is in the area.

I can assure you that stolen iPhones absolutely aren't worthless. They are sent to various places where extremely technically sophisticated groups are still able to make at least 200$, sometimes much more, from a stolen iPhone, which isn't much less than what it used to be worth. In fact, phone thieves in many places only ever made about 50-100$ from a stolen high end phone.

Phone theft is a billion dollar industry, and as Apple tries to lock down parts, thieves adapted by forming far more efficient logistics and by centralizing value extraction from stolen phones. Apple's tactics haven't so far made a big impact to a phone thief's incentives, and I don't see it happening in the near future either.

Sounds like a purposeful leak to test the waters, and get the bidding war started. I wouldn’t be surprised if Valve execs are simply looking to capitalise for investors.

The important thing here is that it only recycles concrete. Most of the 7.5% emissions are from new concrete constructions - new roads and new buildings - as we increase the total concrete in use. Very little is from old buildings/roads being destroyed and then replaced by something else.

This will make a small dent in the 7.5% at scale.

About half of the successful business moves I do depends on developing better mathematical tooling than my competition.

Consider adopting category theory as your lingua franca for modeling real world processes. It's universal and it's everywhere, from software engineering to business strategy and communications.

There's no such thing as nerd sniping when every piece of math you do can be transported to every other endeavor you do. That's the job of Categories, and if you don't use them, then your mathematical education cannot really empower you.

The objective parts don’t disprove that OpenAI set out to make an AI that sounded like Scarlett Johanson to use as a marketing ploy. In fact, I’d argue it’s more likely that’s exactly what the evidence suggests they did. But maybe a judge will get to rule on whose interpretation of the facts is correct.
Of course it was reckless and unethical, but it also seems like kind of an unnecessary study. There have been lots of population exposures to radiation before then, and many more since, and there were ample ways to gather data from those. And, if absolutely necessary, rhesus monkeys are close enough for government work. With that, and with perhaps some extrapolation and translation of data, I'm sure that there was nothing to be gained by experimenting on unwitting civilians.

By the way, speaking of population exposures to radiation: In Japan, people still pay good money to bathe in radioactive radon-rich hot springs. [1] It appears that it might even be healthy. [2]

Possibly overpedantic; please forgive me if so!

Every chip cost money, right? If your game shipped on a single 1mbit EEPROM, it cost the same amount of money whether it was 90% full or 99.99% full. There was of course a cost incentive not to go over 1mbit, or to get your size down enough to fit onto a 512kbit EEPROM.
100% -- EC2's general purpose nature is not in my opinion the best fit for ephemeral use-cases. You'll be constantly fighting the infrastructure as the set of trade-offs and design goals are widely different.

This is why CodeSandbox, Namespace, and even fly.io built special-purpose architectures to guarantee extremely start-up time.

In the case of Namespace it's ~2sec on cold boots with a set of user-supplied containers, with storage allocations.
