Because that increases complexity, and introduces new ways the installer can do something unexpected or fail. There's overhead to code; it has maintenance costs.

If half a dozen people in your town of 10,000 use bins for storing soup, but one year the council procures bins with holes in the bottom to keep rain from collecting in them (making them hard to move, and also providing stagnant water for mosquitoes, ie something that benefits nearly everyone)...

...what would be your opinion of a blitzkrieg of online and media criticism of the council for not considering the needs of soup binners...by people who do not store soup in their bins but are screeching about the needs of the people who do and they say will be affected by the change?

And then someone on the council has said "alright, fine, look...I doubt there's that many of these people. I'll go talk to them, who are they?" and the screechers admit they don't actually know any soup binners, so the councilmember looks them up and goes to the house of every soup binner and either plug the holes in their bin for them, gives them proper soup pots, or prints out a list of soup pots they can find on amazon...or finds out that they say "well gosh I had a soup pot in the attic but I never got around to using it, I'll just switch. Thank you for the heads up that the new bins will have holes in the bottom."
OAIC takes civil penalty action against Medibank
In Australia in 2022, a very large institution had a breach of private records [1]. That same year they made $590 million profit.

Today the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner has taken penalty action -- a rarity. This opens the door to rather large fines imposed by the Federal Court, up to $2m per contravention.

More info likely to be updated in other news [2] publications.

I just have some form of unique id field / synthetic key, everywhere.

Even if just for documenting issues it makes life easier. “Table whatever id 12345 is the record in question.”

I’ve just seen data / relationships change too much too often in new and interesting ways to believe in using a natural key.
Invert the logic. The universe is in state X with narrator in it to tell the story because a super unlikely chain of events occurred. Call it anthropic principle.

Or, think how in many-words interpretation there is a universe for any arbitrarily unlikely development. The writer picked one that floats her boat.
I think you're confusing PA with computability theory and Turing machines. "Program" is not a thing in PA.
If that's what you want it's a good signal, many companies also already have their quota of irritable, unreasonable people.

Sometimes we want harmony and not drama.

Knowing how to push forward without being abrasive is a more valuable trait.
A small swap space with zswap is where it's at. You get all the benefits of swap, plus reduced I/O and high-enough speed fetches that it just feels like extra memory. Well worth configuring, IMO.
You’re the one asking him a question. Why do you even think you are owed a response?

AI is a useful umbrella term.
Sometimes you will regret it, other times you won't.

Notice that even if you believe that you should 'never use natural keys', that is NOT the same thing as 'always add a generated synthetic key to every table as the primary key'. You should NOT always add a generated key to every table, even if you use a trash ORM that really wants you to do this.
Why not a single swap space with zswap? I find it much easier to configure, and the performance difference can largely be eliminated with a little tuning.

They can be FOIA'd, for all the good that will do you. They apparently have, according to the news, employees dedicated to deleting records before they can be FOIA'd, they use burner phones and private email accounts, and when caught the agency boss will say "I don't know who my personal assistant was working for when he did that" in front of Congress.

And get away with it.

Fauci’s chief of staff was in on the scheme. Emails show that Gregory Folkers intentionally misspelled the name of Kristian Andersen, a tactic Morens suggested to avoid FOIA, after Andersen received an $8.9 million NIAID grant, which came two months after he authored a paper arguing that it was “improbable” that COVID-19 had a lab origin.'

The rest is neat but scary for most production scenarios, while a prompt autotuner can give significant lift + resilience in a predictable & maintainable way to most typical LLM apps

Again... I'm truly happy and supportive that academics are exploring a wild side of the design space. Just, as we are in the 'we ship code people rely on' side of the universe, it's hard to find scenarios where its potential benefits outweigh its costs.
EarlyOOM, swap, and zswap is the answer combo you're looking for. With those in place and properly tuned, you'd have to have something go extraordinarily sideways for an actual issue to appear.
That’s quite the absolute statement to make without even one example.
i was thinking about this for a long time

but some sort of indicator, maybe an accent or symbol to indicate the F sound

this would radically expand the number of pronouncable words in Korean.

with the goal being able to describe phonetically as accurately as possible any spoke word in human history.

Scandinavian languages need not apply. There should be no alphabet that describes the sound of spitting.
Probably security, too: cookie data is security-critical, since you can use it for session hijacking, etc. The version doesn't leak anything about the cookie's contents so it can be directly accessed without any security checks. The whole point of isolating the process running each website from other browser resources (like cookies) is an added layer of security.
Natural keys are great when they're someone else's synthetic keys. My Discord bots make liberal use of this.

model: DiscordMessage
key = discord_message_id
key = discord_user_id
key = discord_channel_id
key = message_type

model: UserData
key = discord_user_id
key = field_name

model: GuildFeature
key = discord_guild_id
key = well_known_feature_name

model: DiscordEvent
key = discord_event_id
key = discord_guild_id

This is how I was always taught to use them so I'm kinda confused what the author is getting at. If the thing you're using as a key can change and that doesn't define the row then you don't have a key. If you're at a conference where everyone has a badge number then that's a great natural key when scanning people into your workshop. If you're at Disney and everyone has a magicband with ids then you can use that as a natural key all over the place when to you that's a visitor.

Interesting. Today I kept getting notifications that “Spotlight” was updated and it was asking me permissions to allow access to its previous version data. I thought that was odd for system service and I kept rejecting it but it kept coming up. I finally clicked except and start looking through my task manager to see if anything was off but everything looked OK so I wasn’t really sure it was going on.

Bartender is installed through SetApp. I wonder if it’s related. I’m going to uninstall reboot and run system scan.
We designed walkable cities before people had cars.
Hahahaha! :) This is hilarious hahaha! :)
It's a neat idea, but I doubt it'll take off. Swap with zswap as a backing for tmpfs should be plenty for the time being.
There is, kind of. Each developer is identified by a “team ID”, which appears in the Common Name of these certificates. Apple does some validation of the developer’s legal entity, similar to EV SSL.
> The way you blocked out everything else in the post to reiterate your question...

"Blocked out"? I didn't block out anything, I quoted specific text. Quoting specific text in no way disallows discussion of other things, which is what you accused me of.

> ...which they had already answered fine...

No, they answered a question more to their liking - they didn't answer mine at all. They, like many others, seem to have an aversion to discussing certain aspects of reality, so they chose to opt out of the conversation, a right which you too have.

> in which case I reiterate: go away

Why? Are there certain aspects of reality that you have an aversion to being pointed out? Well, simply click the X in your browser window and all this harshness can disappear.

> Hmm, I think you misunderstood my previous answer.

I understood it perfectly well, it is a highly predictable response to that class of prompt, one of three or so responses.

> We knew about the existence of atomic matter since humans have been a species, with overwhelming amounts of evidence. There is no "before" in that sense.

Humans knew about the existence of atomic matter since they've been a species?

The earliest reference I could find is this:

https://www.britannica.com/science/atom/Development-of-atomi...

>>> The concept of the atom that Western scientists accepted in broad outline from the 1600s until about 1900 originated with Greek philosophers in the 5th century BCE. Their speculation [1] about a hard, indivisible fundamental particle of nature was replaced slowly by a scientific theory supported by experiment and mathematical deduction.

Could you possibly share even one piece of evidence of this (you don't even need to link to it, quoting it from memory is fine, provided you include some detail)?

[1] which is not knowledge, by the way
no the sad facts are that modern non-opioid pain treatment is very often more effective than opioids .. I believe there are research studies easily found that show that.

I didn't realize all doctors are regulated by the FDA and SEC. The statement at the beginning of the thread doesn't specify doctors in the US.
I'm just going by Wikipedia, but it's not clear to me that it's the reason for antibiotic resistance in humans, rather than a reason.

Also, "livestock pumped full of antibiotics to make them fat" has been banned in the EU since 2006.
This also applies to LLM constrained generation. Instead of outputting something that promised to be a JSON (but maybe it's not, or maybe it's an incomplete JSON, or maybe it's a JSON but doesn't conform to your JSON schema), just use CFGs (e.g., GBNF) to guide the model to generate the exact JSON you want. It's guaranteed, and you don't have to send lengthy JSON schemas to the LLM.
this has been my experience, too.

more rotors = more power consumption capability, but in practice it yields lower duty cycles for each of the motors. That effect, along with additional lift capacity for batteries, creates a platform that generally stays up longer.

as others mentioned there are also aerodynamic advantages as long as we're staying away from coaxial designs.

But, if a project has positive NPV, we can print money (and it's the right thing to do).

The worst investors are people who don't get this simple concept and are scared by Debt and Inflation

FWIW, I have come across examples in the wild of engineers who were extraordinarily polished and facile at everything leetcode, and poor at computer science. Not many, but some. This is a somewhat recent phenomenon.

Best tests are simple and common computer science problems in algorithms and data structures with no tractable solutions. There is no facile answer, you truly have to reason from first principles for any particular scenario because there is no alternative.

I think you're right. Same as everywhere else, legality and enforcement are at odds. US isn't special in that regard.
The context of "we" there is literally applied mathematics and it's absolutely correct that degrees are rare in that field .. a "720" is not a useful way of describing two full revolutions.
It’s included in the SetApp bundle and a highly rated and recommended app on there. It’s not that niche especially for developers and power users that gravitate towards SetApp subscription.

For me, I was already paying for “clean my Mac” and fantastical which both cost the same or more than a SetApp subscription which includes dozens of additional apps.
Is artificial intelligence the secret to better sleep?
It’s a systemd service: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/tmpf...

You will have to disable it separately. From the article:

Alfred is truly excellent. Not only is it capable of a wide array of things but is built extremely well, being exceptionally lightweight, stable, extensible, and tiny. It’s increasingly rare for software to be even two of those these days, let alone all of them.
Articles like this kill me. Surely the time you spent promoting the thing put you back into the hole, if the effort needs such ruthless optimization. I don't think it, or really most jobs, do.

Rather, things like this serve to aggrandize. We get the information to do work. It doesn't exist alone, there's another side/counterpart. These one-dimensional things are, well, limited.

If you're there to regurgitate information, it's a communication problem - not staffing. Well, kind of - but not in a way that's favorable to you. You're neither a producer or consumer, if hoarding is your primary focus

edit: CTO for Meta, lol. How high in the clouds.
Lots of doctors from reputable places eg Mayo on X. Weighing in on things with media coverage like whether cholesterol drugs are a good treatment option. Possibly they're countering quakery from charlatans with good, measured opinion. That opinion could also be influenced by paying for their conference attendance, or just plain cash. Undisclosed, such payments would be far from obvious and radically change one's opinion on how convincing their case is or isn't.

The new weight loss drugs. Are they good? How serious are the side effects? How often are there problems? Is the risk low and benefits high? Are they good for cancer? Are they good to help alcoholism? Are they scary? Should I take them?

Much legit debate there and I'd rather know who is being paid for their opinion faced with the choice when trying to weigh probability in the face of imperfect information.
Do no GPUs or 3D libraries include a function to do this by just horizontally walking each line of a circle and mapping the X,Y from the texture to the "3D" position on the sphere?

It seems like a magnificent waste of resources to rotate and project a million vertices for the triangles of this thing when a sphere is a circle, the algorithm for drawing a circle is simple, and you only need to walk horizontally and then drop down a line and keep going until you've drawn every line.

I remember doing stuff like this in the late 80s to precompute magnifying lenses, like the one in Second Reality.
They're made in a bunch of ways but the general principle is "the stuff inside is much lower resistance than what's normally used."
Gotcha, thanks for the explanation, I’m not familiar with that genre or the gender roles in that culture. Also I’m gay and poly so most of the spicy comics I read are very, very different to this. In particular marriage is significantly less important in polyamorous and gay communities - the quality of the connection between the two individuals is the biggest turn on in romantic content.

Also the comics don’t render properly at all on my iPhone so it was hard to even scan them for their plot lines. The frames were all cut off. But a guy throwing a lot of money at a woman reads as weird and creepy to me - it shows me only that he wants something from her and is rich, but doesn’t indicate at all whether he is actually any good for her, or whether he cares about her as a complete human being or as an object to be acquired.

Edit: Also if the comics are written for women, I hope they are written by women. Otherwise a lot can get lost in translation.
Not true if you enable zswap. The pages stay compressed in a RAM pool, and are only sent to the real swap on disk in their compressed states when that gets full. This significantly reduces I/O overall.
Follow your own rules when it comes to subjects that trigger you and all will be well.

If it is not clear, I find the histrionics a form of performative trolling.
I actually back up my Gradle cache in particular because things have a tendency to disappear from the internet sometimes, and permanently break builds of older stuff.
I think this is an excellent example of one of the pitfalls that the author is getting at.

(Disclaimer: not a Discord bot programmer.)

Suppose discord_user_id is an identifier like @Spivak#2024 that uniquely identifies the user. When Discord forces all users to change to unique ID's and eliminates the disambiguating numbers (or allows users to change them), then where does that leave you?

(For the unfamiliar: something like this happened. Not sure if those are really the "discord user id" used in bot service though, but suppose that they are for the sake of the argument.)
Feels like this could have used a few more solid examples up-front. I think another good example would be PlayStation Network using the natural key of "gamer tags" as the primary key to identify players would be a good example. Since this effectively locks players into having to keep a gamertag in order to uniquely identify them in the service -- instead of having a synthetic key that carries no meaning or data other than "uniqueness"
Even though LeCun is pretty much a broken clock nowadays, he's still right twice a day.

The right approach to take with AI is to develop it as fast and as open as possible, the safety issues will be polished as it happens, the more eyes on it the better.
The Doctor could conceivably be a passionate professional who wants to share health information with a wider audience. You know, as opposed to a shithead shill. The fact that being a corporate mouthpiece is apparently the default assumed state is a condemnation of our current medical standards.
A natural key is what I would normally call unique index. Say first, surname and date of birth in an employee table as a bad (poor design) example. As opposed to a surrogate key like personId being an auto incrementing ID which is the norm since it can be easier to use when joining tables. I wish articles like these would explain terminology up front. I found it irritating to wade into the anecdotal trivia and not know what I was reading about and I’m very familiar with how databases work!

Furthermore, what do you think they're going to do to make it as "safe" as possible. It's funny OpenAI didn't release GPT-2 immediately to the public because of safety worries, but has now been releasing models without the same care for safety and I imagine this will continue with GPT-5

I decided a long time ago that my main audience will be myself in the future. A blog post is the output of a project which at a minimum forces me to organize my thoughts on something important, and usually involves getting my hands dirty to understand something at a deeper level. I don't care about SEO because I'm writing for myself, not robots. That said, I feel for people trying to monetize because I know I never could.
