Thanks for the contribution. I think challenging the screen actors guild and calling bullshit on “I own the sound of my voice” would be a good thing.

Open AI already took a stance like this challenging copyright threats against llms.

But maybe you haven’t considered it that way. Or you think unions (representing the 1%) are cool! I think they are stupid AF

This creates jobs.

Who is "we"? Apparently not enough people want this.

> I can't buy a new car that I can register without seatbelts, so the concept of making things illegal to buy is not entirely foreign.

That's a strawman argument. Not having cars without seatbelts has safety implications. A better analogy would be cars which don't allow you to replace the built-in car stereo for example.

> so maybe put a tax on all non-computer electronics, and a rebate for computers. All just to be able to run my own code on an ipad. Which, you can actually do with Pythonista.

Then maybe we should also have a tax for computers that run Python, because it's so energy inefficient. Only make the ones tax-free that only allow C++ and assembly language.
I’m in full agreement with you that the probability of being struck by space junk is less than remote, but I wouldn’t say it never happened - I recall just a few months ago a Florida home was struck by debris from the ISS.

I agree it’s not something I’d ever consider or worry about as a risk though.

This just isn't true.

The vast majority of illegal immigration happens through legal ports of entry. Usually individuals just over stay a tourist visa.

Republicans have rejected the recent bipartisan board deal that would fund hundreds of new boarder patrol agents, and immigration ALJs to expand enforcement and processing capacity at the boarder. All because daddy Trump wants there to be a border crisis because it's a good election issue for him to run on.

Republicans don't care about governing, they just care about winning.
It would be somewhat comparable to a heating oil tank, which many residences in the northern US already have.

Note that I'm not suggesting this be done, only that it's potentially possible, and in some rare cases is done.

This is also a very handy idea...
California has an economics problem, not a housing a problem. Insufficient housing is a symptom of something deeper. There is still plenty of space in CA to build new housing, but that isn't the point when pricing is absurd and people only want housing in choice geographies. You can always create new housing, but you cannot create new land or make undesirable land suddenly desirable.

I know CA people hate it when comparisons are made to Texas, but yet its one of those moments. I live in a Texas city that recently became the 12th largest city in the US (about to also become the 11th largest) and about to become the 4th largest in the state. Single family homes continue to dominate here. Over 5000 new single family homes were built here in the past decade and there are projected to be far more than 6000 new homes built here in the next decade. The new houses fill with owners within 3 months, and sometimes within a month of completion. This means housing is continually being built where none existed before ever creeping into the wilderness with longer and longer commutes. But since jobs continue to grow here and housing prices continue to remain low compared to CA people don't care.
Until it doesn't.

It isn't the case that even if everyone agrees on the BLM, Trans rights, and the outcome of WWII will agree on future issues of the day. Thier stance sets up an expectation that the language should have an official position on these topics.

I even gave an example.

A community that fosters professionalism rather than explicit ideology won't have this problem.
Is addition a Markov process? I really don't think so. You can certainly model e.g. integer addition by a Markov process, up to some integer k but addition itself is usually formalised by the Peano axioms, that are not quite Markovian. I guess you can see the relation between S(n) and S(S(n)) as some kind of Markov chain. That's really not a standard view though.

In any case, a complete theory of addition must be correct up to inifinity so you won't get that with any Markov process we can train from data. Although you can learn addition with a simple linear regression, by setting the weights appropriately. That's because a function of a line already includes addition, and multiplication, and that's basically not very different to what the team in the paper above is trying to do. Meaning: they're trying to hand-code the concept of addition in embeddings. It's not 100% because they're also at the same time trying to not 100% encode it, but it's a hard balance to strike.
Single Family suburban homes are expensive and require you to buy an expensive car in order to do anything.
The same with how boredom drives people to creatively fill their time, if you sit in this for some time (in the scale of months or even years) you will stop putting so much care toward trying to change how human systems like companies function, and start developing hobbies and relationships outside of work that are fulfilling.

You will naturally over time care less about how you are just a cog in the machine of society.

You’ll also likely be able to retire early and do whatever you want with many decades left while your friends outside of tech likely won’t.

And in doing so you will realize that even when you have full agency over your time you are still in a way just a cog in the machine of society.
Yes, i agree it does that effectively now. But what about future issues? See my post below.
But the interview is for a data science position. Why play games with "Ha ha 6 TiB can fit on my PC we actually don't need you?"
RE "problem is caused by a lack of building" In my opinion there needs to be more houses built so the vacancy rate rises from the present extremely low ( round 1%) to the long term average of around 3% house vacancy rate. This 3% vacancy rate is recognized as a fair equilibrium between renters and property owners. Furthermore such a rate helps stop property owners raising rents as much , as happened in recent years. This is in Australia, do not know about other countries. Alos with record low interest rates, my opinion is lots people over commixed to loans, without proper consideration if they could afford the loan when interest rates rise to the long term average of around 7%
If IBM really made an effort to sell a desktop 370, it'd have been a magnificent machine.

In some capacity yes, a lot of them. Plenty of EVs can do "vehicle to load" or V2L. i.e. they have plug points for running appliances off the vehicle battery. This can be used to slow-charge another EV.

"The scenarios where this is useful are plentiful, from helping a stranded EV driver with no power to whipping up a brew with a portable kettle."

I see it like "give the vehicle a few miles, to get to a better charge point" and nothing more.

If there is one space where it shines, sure it’s mathematics. But even there, the most notable mathematicians highly rely on some intuitions far before they manage to prove anything, as well as while selecting/creating their conceptual tools to attempt to build the proof, and rarely go to the point of formalizing their points through Coq/Isabelle or even with meticulous paper craft à la Principia Mathematica from Russel and Whitehead.
I know its a joke but it makes me wonder is there such a constant speed type of language? Maybe it would be enforced by an emulator its speed but it would be interesting to have a known speed to measure against.
This 'orchestrator' pattern merely re-introduces tight-coupling via a one-way async interface. The producer writes commands destined for the executor of the command. It's basically async RPC with transparent host lookup and no return values.

I'm not saying it doesn't have its uses, but be wary of tight coupling. If you see development patterns like first updating the consumer to enable a change to a command, then releasing the upstream change to use the new capability, you'll know that you're not working with a decoupled system. Another likely red-flag is never documenting payload structures, so that behaviour is fully implementation-defined async-spaghetti.
At some point, I became so angry with this feeling that I stopped caring about what people would think of me altogether. However, this was somewhat destructive for me. Eventually, I seeked help.

I had to make a personal rule awhile ago about not supporting nonprofits that are trying to solve an issue that could actually be made worse. The incentives are too misaligned. You can't count on people to do "the right thing" on a large scale at the expense of doing "the right thing" at the scale of caring for their own/their family's livelihood.

One of the few organizations that made the cut for me is Hearts of Joy International. They help arrange lifesaving heart surgery for small children who have Down Syndrome, usually paying for the patient and one parent to travel from Uganda or the Philippines to India for the surgery.

There really isn't a way to use policy to cause more children to be born with heart defects and Down Syndrome. Nobody's at fault when that happens, and the young child who needs the surgery is as innocent as it gets.

Tangentially, I made another personal rule against supporting nonprofits that do their fundraising by focusing on how "evil" their opponents are and how dangerous things would be if the other side "wins." That's meant not supporting certain organizations even when I agree with them that what their opponents are doing is evil.

I just don't trust that any organization can overcome evil by focusing on the evil. Too many things can be justified in a "battle against evil." If you want to win, you have to be focused on the good you can do, not the evil you prevent.
No, I'm saying that Apple is so far ahead of the competition and this market is so hard to enter, that they essentially have a monopoly in the category "tablet computer that isn't shit".

> even one would significantly multiply the length of the PDF.

That bit feels like you're playing devil's advocate. Including a prompt wouldn't significantly add to the length of the PDF unless you did it in the most obtuse, malicious-compliance-ish way possible.

And when the subject is "we got X performance on GPT-4", including (an abridged version of) the prompt isn't just a nice bonus, it's absolutely essential to judge the results. The perf data they give for GPT-4 is worthless without that information.

It’s interesting how everyone seems to vilify Musk and blame him for every failing of one of his companies but credit him with none of the success - seemingly for no reason other than they disagree with his political musings on social media.

My understanding is that Musk has been relatively detached from spaceX for some time and focuses more on Tesla.

And interestingly the most recent space debris to strike something was from NASA and the ISS which hit a Florida home.

I don’t think Musk or any singular person is a factor or has anything to do with this equation.

I think it's a different problem entirely.

I've been looking at getting a house built, and that starts at about €200k*, but the land in Berlin is at least another €200k on top of that (and usually more).

If I was willing to live in the back end of nowhere, I can get the land for almost nothing, halving the total cost.

But then I'd be living in the back end of nowhere, and turning that into an interesting town (let alone city) would need some very expensive infrastructure to be built, just to support that many residents.

Make the infrastructure cheap, and you can build New Towns.

Most of the developed world seems to struggle with infrastructure during my lifetime, be it major roads, railways, sewage, electricity networks, or anything else.

* list price €100k but that's a cheat as it's the outer shell only, no plumbing or interior plastering

Dissonance – Myers' diff algorithm for Scala
Describing a minimal set of differences between two files, line-by-line, is a common task on the command-line, not to mention, one of the essential building blocks of Git.

But Scala's collection library doesn't have any equivalent: we can't diff one `List` with another. So Dissonance exists to fill that gap. It implements Eugene Myers' diff algorithm, and works on any pair of indexed sequences of the same type, returning an optimal sequence of changes.

Does anyone else feel as if this sort of thing is actually just a giant opportunity?

We built all of this stuff in the first place - how can it be so hard to do it again in places that are more resilient to change?

It strikes me that we built entire cities like London with far less technology than we have now, we just seem to be mired in politics.

It's like the equivalent of trying to repaint a room without taking the furniture out first.

> To drive between those same two points is 811 road miles. At $0.67 per mile (the IRS reimbursement rate, which is supposed to include consumables like fuel and also less-visible things like insurance and depreciation), that's $544.

That IRS rate is incredibly high. It's probably around $150 or so in fuel depending on prices and efficiency to make that trip. I can't see food, insurance, and depreciation adding another $300. The ability to not drive is what can make it worthwhile for some, as you note.

Vector databases are good for documents, but if you have a fact database or some other more succinct information store, it's quite slow to retrieve compared to trigram/full text while often performing worse.
Sellers do have much to lose. I think you're saying they have 30%+ in equity so why not sell and use it? Well they have 30%+ equity AND low interest rates.

If they sell, they need to buy again at a higher interest rate. So they can sell at a profit but then monthly payments will be higher.

Anyway, this is only 1 scenario. Urban areas are hit hard NYC/SF and sellers are sitting out waiting for recovery, so they rent them out.
If houses were just a commodity to be bought and sold we'd have much less of a problem. There were very few homeless a hundred years ago. Efforts to ban residential hotels aka "flophouses" were mostly an effort to remove undesirable people from their communities by making it impossible for them to find housing there they could afford. And the fact that many if not most voters don't want housing for what they consider undesirables in their neighborhoods is a huge problem for the construction of homeless shelters and affordable housing to this day. So I don't think that even completely socializing housing would do all that much to help with the problem.
Ask for help for many people is the hardest thing to do... It should become more normalized

In the past I spent a lot of time cutting up logs with grep, less, jq and Perl. It was amazing UX that Kibana can't beat in terms of performance, assuming you already know the time-window you are interested in (although I never learned enough gnuplot to be able to do visualisations so Kibana wins there). However, all that went out of the window when I moved into a world of milti-instance micro-services in the cloud and SOC2 compliance. No more downloading of logs to my local machine and cutting them up with sensible tools. :(

That said, nothing that you outlined above is particularly difficult in Kibana, the main annoyance being the response time of the query API (somewhat mitigated by indexing). Based on your vague description my vague workflow would be:

- filter for type x
- limit time range to between occurrences of x
- change filter to type y
- an any point pick out the interesting fields of the log message to reduce noise in UI
- save and reuse this query if it is something I do regularly
- if your state machine has a concept of a flow then filter by a relevant correlation ID

Not sure what you mean by "finding the log file" since Elasticsearch is a document database where each log line is a document.
Okay but then you're talking about designing a completely new kind of kernel which has a completely different concept of what a "process" is, which is quite far away from "we should've just used SmallTalk".

Besides, no matter how you design the system, there will be a categorical difference between communication which is expected to be fallible and communication which is expected to be infallible. The "communication" between a caller and a callee is expected to be infallible, for example. Communication between threads in a process (in the UNIX and Windows model) is expected to be infallible.

Communication between an app and a system service is expected to be fallible; at the very least, the system service has to expect that the app might misbehave in any number of ways, even if you argue that the app should expect the system service to be perfect.

I contracted for them a number of years ago... probably one of their biggest early shows for Arcade Fire... to address sustainability at the time, they had a microphone inside their devices. At the end of the show, they sent a special command that switched it over into "color organ" mode so you could hold it up to your stereo at home and see a trippy light show!

What's the use for multiple local loopback IPs? I'm not a networking guy, just backend dev, so 99.99% of my 127.0... use is running applications locally.

For your TLS thing, is it whatever application you were using expected to use a whole swath of TCP ports at whatever IP address, so expected separate IPs?

Feels like dedicating some range of addresses to "private use" would have been useful, then if you needed a bunch of local loopbacks, could configure it so, or if your local network wants some magic, tada.
