Vaccinations for public health is as science as you can get.

Middle school science is F=ma. That stuff is barely interesting once you enter the 20th century.
ShazamKit is not third party, it is provided by Apple. Their website states "The audio stream is processed locally on your device and never recorded.", though this could refer to the audio statistics being collected locally, I assume ShazamKit still contacts an Apple API to get the classification.
I am not prosecuting the case. I am saying that Peter Hotez -- someone regularly included on email threads with White House staff subject to congressional investigation -- is not in the same category as the other scientists mentioned in the story (except Anthony Fauci, who was also a ridiculous inclusion).

It's a bit like grouping together Joe Biden and your local dogcatcher in "journalism" on political intrigue.
>Also yes the 68k was clearly a dog when it came to interrupt responsiveness and made no sense in home computers or video games, at least not until the '020.

In what world? The interrupts were very fast, taking just a few cycles, and the behavior was deterministic.

This is why they were popular in realtime applications, and remained so for decades.

Back in the day, they were famously used in e.g. the Eurofighter Typhoon.
High interest is related to high prime rate. High prime rate is related to reduced demand for US debt, which it must issue because it can’t pay its bills. You offer debt with a higher rate of return to sweeten the pot or go bankrupt.
Django (python) does lazy loading by default, cartesian product with "select_related()", and has a third option called "prefetch_related()" where it does only 2 queries then does the join programmatically for you instead of in the database. It's kind of like your custom system except you do have to specify ahead of time which fields to prefetch.

It's also had this for over a decade so I have to wonder how rare it actually is in ORMs in general...
There's complicated authentication schemes around hmac that tries to do this, but if you're putting that much effort into it you might as well give up and use https.
I recall think the very time the lockdowns started “this won’t just be 2 weeks, I don’t know if this is even justified or just an example of a bias towards looking like one is doing something” straight away. That was how things started. With a lie and a politically motivated CYA overreaction.

The lockdowns in hindsight seem to have caused more harm than they prevented. I think masks and vaccines were decent and underrated though, although sadly the vaccines lost efficacy fast as COVID kept mutating. The lockdowns were an abomination.
I had a broad smile on my face while going through the effects. This is so playful and fantastic!

The fact that it comes with a command line tool makes it a lot more useful to play with. I can imagine this being used for short pieces of text and to make “hacker” scenes for others.

Now I want an ASCII Art generator built into this! :)
I run a small startup and I've been using Savvy for a few months to help our team with repetitive commands around deploying and testing. Very happy early user and excited for what's ahead here!
R is such a weird little language. It's basically lazy Lisp dressed up in C syntax.

For example, the only operator it really has is a function call. Everything else is syntactic sugar for a function call, and I mean literally everything: assignments, conditionals, loops, even function definitions and curly braces are all function calls. For example:

a <- 1;
# is the same as
`<-`(a, 1);

if (a == 1) print("ok"); else { print("wtf"); print(a); }
# is the same as
`if`(a == 1, print("ok"), `{`(print("wtf"), print(a)));

function(x, y=42) x + y;
# is the same as
`function`(pairlist(x=, y=42), x + y); # not quite but close enough

and so on. You can actually see what things look like under the hood for any R expression or statement by printing as.list(quote(...)), and recursively doing that for every element in the resulting list

The reason why this is possible is because all arguments in R are not evaluated when passed to a function. Instead, it receives the expression object corresponding to the expression that the caller used for that argument, combined with the environment in which it was created - R calls this a promise. It's kind of like instead of (foo (+ x y)), you'd write:

(foo (`(+ x y) (lambda () (+ x y)))

i.e. for the argument, instead of its evaluated value, you passed both the quoted expression and the lambda that computes it in the original environment. When the actual value of the argument is needed, the expression is evaluated and the result is cached in the promise (so implicit eval is lazy and one-off). But the function can instead just query for the argument expression directly and then use it in some other way - so e.g. the `<-` function does not eval its first argument, but instead uses it to identify the variable being set.
I always think I've found the limit of people's ability to blame communism for every problem on earth, and I'm always surprised.

Was the current genocide in Palestine the fault of Communism also? Was 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq, communism?
I was going to go with "union", but I suppose "gang" does the same thing, just so long as it's a significant percentage of the population, organized and acting with restraint and purpose. Because I agree, a random act here and there wouldn't do the trick.
This comment is weirdly antagonistic for no reasons.

So which is it, Mr. Bourgeois? People who use Temu are awashed with disposable income to waste on trash, or they are too poor (thus stupid, apparently) to recognize the trap of cheap shit? What, exactly, is telling here?

Or maybe the fierce "competition" between Amazon and Walmart has left a hole in the market for people who want products closer to their true price?
I’ve been disparaged and insulted on social media for years over peer-reviewed papers I’ve published that go against widespread layman beliefs of the topic at hand.

Luckily I have the type of personality that finds it amusing, knowing that if anyone actually had an issue with my work they would contact me via my institutional email present in the papers themselves where I would be happy to engage in dialogue and answer any questions. If someone could present a compelling case for errors in my analyses I would be thrilled to either amend or retract my work rather than have it cited further.

So far the Venn diagram of people “harassing” me and those wanting clarification on my studies or requesting additional data or details amounts to two circles you could drive a car between, and the latter has generally used the info to validate my findings.
Ok, from reading the first section of your post:

> Events need to be well defined

Then from the article:

> Say you’re working on a Laravel web app. You’re about 90% sure you know how to start the app. You’re 80% sure you know how to handle the infra you’ll need to get it online. And you’re 70% sure you know how to get your first customer.

Are these events well defined?

1. Starting the app (about 90%)

2. Handle the infra (80%)

3. Get your first customer (70%)

3. is possibly well defined, or could be made so. The others are not. So not only are the numbers made up, the events are not even well defined in the first place! Why would we go to the effort of ensuring correct maths here?
I suspect it was all about the money. Those following him viewed him as their best bet for a good financial outcome for themselves.
What did you think I meant by "PDD/Temu"?
As a side note, I think I am adding “render” to my list of words which are meaningless and therefore banned from using in code:

- render

- container

- context

- base

- build

- generate

- view

- control

- process

- resource

Any I should add/remove?

You're right. My post assumes too much prior knowledge.

A runbook is a set of precise commands that you can use to resolve or diagnose anything from a complete production outage to helping a developer debug their local environment.

Most developers manually create runbooks - Savvy's CLI changes that and allows you to create runbooks in seconds.

Here's an example runbook that shows how you can extract an x509 cert from a config map and verify its validity: https://app.getsavvy.so/runbook/rb_72e6b7d29ae70abe/How-To-V...

He is unfortunately hardly an exception, as electioneers have helped create entire fake journals to manipulate public opinion.

You're portraying it like the police burst into your home, and forcefully injected you with a completely untested vaccine.

The reality is, of course, an extremely boring public health campain. Plenty of people just opted out.
I'll provide another armchair answer here: there is no financial incentive to do so. Video game companies do not care about preservation unless they can profit from it.
I think about 50%, they only gave a 1.6M check
Yes, so if you want to open source a legacy game of your company, you will need additional efforts to remove those game assets. So you can make sure that you do not have any legal troubles.

I think that's the reason why they do not want to open source their old games.
I think you're missing my point, sorry if I didn't explain it well enough.

Science tells you that, unless you wish for it to fail, a bridge needs to be strong enough to withstand gravity, wind etc, what the stresses are, how likely it is to fail given XYZ conditions, etc.

Politics has you advocating for bridges to meet minimum standards under threat of legal sanctions, deciding what those minimum standards should be (one failure per 500 years? 5000? etc).

They are different things. You cannot decide scientifically how many resources are worth spending on safety, value judgements are required.

To put it another way - science can tell you how to build a stable bridge. It can't tell you whether you need to build the bridge in the first place, or whether one stable bridge is a better use of resources than three mostly-stable bridges.
I'm really curious if you've managed to back every action you take, as well as every value you hold, with rigorous statistical analysis. If you've written about this, I would love to read it.

I'm particularly curious if you've done a meta-analysis on what you choose to analysis or not, and what the fundamental basis is for determining fitness for your values and actions (e.g. what does a healthy society and healthy person look like to you and how do you statistically justify this position?).
I think the article is exactly right about this point.

A lot of these sayings are not how things work, but a fairy-tale that sounds nice and we wish were true (this is true of most zen stuff). Basically they are fantasies that reality is less unfair/arbitrary and imaginings that happiness is attainable by everyone in every situation.

I applaud the article for mentioning say, the importance of sex in happiness. This is something that you'd never get in a wishy-washy zen yoda-speak quote, but which is almost certainly true and probably worth admitting at a more conscious level.
An even bigger problem is that, in the first line, the quote is not real.

I was pretty skeptical of that Buddhist quote the moment I saw it. If you want the tl;dr version of Buddhism, that's the 5 Precepts: that is the boiled down, maximally condensed "minimalist" version. If you want more than that, you have the Eightfold Path. It's already getting long, but hey, if you want everything in bite-sized form, that's as close as you'll get.

So when I saw "all of Buddhism" in 4 words I thought: no, I don't believe that - I'd sooner believe that's a misattributed quote. And while I couldn't find an exact source online, this summary from ChatGPT summarizes my take.

The quote "Learn to let go. That is the key to happiness." is often attributed to the Buddha, but it does not appear in any of the traditional Buddhist scriptures. It is likely a modern paraphrasing or interpretation of Buddhist teachings on attachment and impermanence. The Buddha did teach about the importance of letting go of attachments and desires as a path to enlightenment and inner peace, which is a central theme in his teachings. However, the exact phrasing of this quote cannot be directly linked to any specific Buddhist text.

I believe there is a distinction between profits for "transmission" specifically and for electric utilities more broadly. The FERC ruling that you reference is for PG&E's transmission assets, i.e. high voltage lines and transformers and such. I assume that their retail electric business is regulated by CPUC and has a different profit/revenue/whatever arrangement.
I've watched the video in the page, but unclear what's the advantage of making it a language / environment vs. using Phaser.js

"This unencrypted part of the communication flow has its flaws. Third parties in shared networks, as well as network intermediaries, could sniff passwords and other secrets from the initial HTTP traffic or even impersonate the web server with a MITM attack."

A strawman fallacy.
As a non-developer, ordinary computer user "providing service" for one user (yours truly) it's easy for me to configure the TLS forward proxy listening on the loopback to send _all_ HTTP requests, from _any_ application, including ones sent to port 80, via HTTPS. This I find preferable to letting a browser try to convert HTTP to HTTPS, e.g., "HTTPS Everywhere", or letting a developer do it with a redirect. Personally, I compile clients without linking to a TLS library. They are smaller without it and I do not have to worry about every author having correctly added TLS support. When SSL/TLS changes, applications using it often need to be updated, and some authors have made mistakes, socat being one example that comes to mind. I do 100% of TLS negotiation using a single program: the proxy. Every HTTP request on the home network goes to the proxy.
Do I really need it?
If the board had shared something equivalent to this article at the time, perhaps there wouldn't have been such an intense internal pressure campaign.

Instead, they did not even attempt to communicate any rationale behind their actions.
Then you seek mental help, because you’re delusional.
We could probably redirect it with positive reinforcement training.

Give them something they really like (like tasty food) when they come close to the boat but not actually bumping it. With repetition, they’ll figure out it’s better to not hit the boats.

I thoughts so, too! Even has a bit of meta in there like you pointed out.
You know that mRNA vaccines have been in development, testing, and use long before COVID happened? that's part of the reason it could be deployed so fast.
Looking at the code base right now, apparently to produce some of the most unreadable code possible (https://github.com/tinygrad/tinygrad/blob/master/tinygrad/re...)

LOC limits have to be one of the worst incentives you can give programmers.
I think this is the big thing, they did this and were unable to publicly explain why they did it. If you are going to do something like this, you should have your ducks in a row and be ready to defend it.
It’s covered in the podcast that the article is about.

Summarizing, essentially the employees were under the impression either Sama comes back OR OpenAI dissolves and they lose their job.

This product looks really cool! But I would have to know more about the pricing model before I could recommend it at work.
Also, does it work across SSH sessions? ie can I shell into a different machine as part of the runbook?
I think you really need someone like Carmack to push for open source. It's rare.
> What about Sam Altman led such a huge number of employees to threaten to follow him out the door?

My understanding is that a fair amount of it was essentially peer pressure. If you're an employee whose CEO has just been fired for unclear reasons, and someone hands you a chain letter saying "restate him or everyone will quit" and you're told everyone's signing that letter and there's already someone who promised to hire everyone who quits into their current role at equal pay, would you sign it?

This is all just business, right? If you're holding the nut flush and you think the board's got rags, you play it out. Whatever reasons the board had to be done with Altman, they did not have the cards, and he did: the team, as I understand it, believed itself to be dependent on Altman (or at least, on not-the-board) for their stakes to be worth anything.

I see how it'd be really dicey for a CEO to pitch a fit on the way out under ordinary circumstances. But also, if you fire your CEO, he may very well go stand up a terrifying competitor, which is basically what happened here, right?

Congratulations and all the best! I visited your website and noticed a small grammatical error, "Fulgent AI uses the latest technology ensures that the generated images closely resemble actual photographs, making them suitable for professional use." It should be either, "...to ensure that..." or "... that ensures that..." Hope it helps.

Interesting. Does it do this separate query for all entities in scope, or per entiry like Hibernates SELECT FetchMode? I find a separate SELECT is usually possible, but doesn’t quite solve this in the general case.

Perhaps I missed Django, but as far as I could tell, Hibernate and jooq can’t do this, Ecto can’t do it, ActiveRecord can’t, and the entirety of ORMs for JS can’t (TypeORM, Prisma, Drizzle, Sequelize and a bunch more).
I had a friend who planted trees for a summer job. He said it was good money for a summer job and they got paid something like $0.20/tree.
I believe the standard advice for dealing with abusive people in personal relationships is to GTFO. Because it's generally unrealistic to think they can be fixed.

Does the same reasoning not apply to supposed-to-be-trusting business relationships?
I answered that scenario though. I'm fine, as a board, letting employees who want to hold the company hostage over a CEO that the board fired walk.

The board's major mistake was not communicating why he was let go.

My guess is that the likely reason why employees threatened to go was that they felt Altman had the best chances of making the for-profit arm's shares skyrocket. As a non-profit company's board, I'd be fine letting those people walk out the front door along with the CEO that was just fired.

It is my understanding that the key personnel who developed the actual technology were not part of the group threatening to leave. It was mainly the group in the for-profit arm that Altman had trojan-horsed into the company structure.

> This included the company's key leadership.

I'm not aware of the machine learning researchers responsible for the core technology threatening to leave. Who were they?
Mirroring is another form, i.e. use GCR for external container images or GCS for yum/apt repos.
My understanding is that it was not so much peer pressure so much as an explicitly coordinated worker action, based on a rational assessment of what their comp packages would look like if the board's plan played out completely.
I like how that freon patent was running out and people coaxed up ozone hole scare alleging that using hair spray and freezers as it would irradiate everyone and kill life on earth.

> Ex-OpenAI board member reveals what led to Sam Altman's brief ousting

Critiquing an oops in the headline, on principle, not defending anyone...

In the headline, they say "reveals", but I think journalism convention is to be clear that this is only an uncorroborated claim.

The body of the article, OTOH, does a good job of attributing claims. Though it looks like the one person was their only source, and the article includes hearsay.

So, the situation is that they have one person (who obviously lost a power play, and might be disgruntled), alleging that another person was dishonest, without corroboration.

I don't see that the article gives any reason to take these allegations at face value. (Especially when the whole topic is alleged dishonesty. Why is one person implicitly truthful and correct, and the other person consequently definitely not.)

So, "reveals" doesn't seem proper, journalism-wise.
They call it the trial tax. Sure you have a constitutional right to it, but they are going to unconstitutionally punish you for exercising it. You should just waive your rights. Funniest part is they actually have to say in court when you take a plea that you weren't coerced into a plea, even though everyone knows and just pretends that the trial tax isnt coercion. The system is based on lieing under oath and the pressuring people to give up their rights.
