>I’m also not sure why we’d care so much about leaving a planet - we’re desperately looking for any sign of life which would be a momentous discovery in and of itself.

Just finding alien plant life somewhere would be a momentous discovery, but that's still nothing like finding an alien civilization that we can communicate with, trade with, etc. One doesn't diminish the other.

Alien orcas (probably) can't leave their planet, or really establish much of a technological civilization. So they'd be interesting to observe, just like alien plants or alien mice, but that just isn't the same kind of thing as interacting with an alien civilization.

>No reason to believe that an alien Orca with thumbs couldn’t eventually accomplish the things we did without ever leaving the water.

How so? How exactly are the alien orcas going to get out of the water to outcompete intelligent creatures on the land? Building any kind of technology in an aquatic environment would be incredibly difficult, if it's possible at all; if there's intelligent creatures on dry land, they'll have an automatic advantage. Sure, the alien orcas with hands and thumbs would have a much better chance than Earthly orcas that don't, but still, how do you, for instance, build a gun when you're an aquatic species? On dry land, it's really not that hard. Even smelting metals seems rather impossible underwater.

> not because there’s some underlying scientific reasoning going on.

Scientific reasoning wasn't the intention, but the idea that aquatic aliens have as much ability to build rockets and spaceships as land-based aliens is pure fantasy. The laws of physics don't change on other planets.
(note to conversation participants - I think jiggawatts might be arguing about $50B/qtr x 24 qtr = $1 trillion and kllrnohj is arguing $20 billion * 2^6 years = $1 trillion - although neither approach seems to be accounting for NPV).

That is assuming Nvidia can capture the value and doesn't get crushed by commodity economics. Which I can see happening and I can also see not happening. Their margins are going to be under tremendous pressure. Plus I doubt Meta are going to be cycling all their GPUs quarterly, there is likely to be a rush then settling of capital expenses.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "the way that phrase would be understood by an american audience". In Brazil, there's some correlation between social strata and skin color. This is a consequence of slavery and the way the country dealt with its end, pushing former slaves to marginalization. And I believe the US went through similar developments, no?

Anyway, the fact is that, currently, due to the lack of objectivity of the current law and to the racism ingrained on society, statistically, judges do adopt more "relaxed" standards when judging white and rich people, and there are studies showing that

It makes sense if instead of thinking about intervals, you think about the supports of random variables[1]. Given two independent random variables, X is not indepent of itself, so supp(X) = supp(Y) does not imply supp(X * X) = supp(X * Y).

The issue is not a confusing road network, it's that Waymos require a modicum of grace in other drivers to operate. They aren't super aggressive, they'll defer to pedestrians and other drivers, they drive safely.

I guess it's time to tell the story online?

When I graduated college, I spent 3 months as a programmer with my econ friend trying to build exactly this. I started off creating a system to paper trade stocks retroactively. So you imagine you go back in time and pretend it's January 1st, 1982 then have an algorithm look at the stocks then, then move it a day forward, and let it trade for the past 40 years and see how it does.

We tried linear models, SVMs, neural networks, RNNs, ensembles, genetic algorithms, anything with stock data, news sentiment data, classic quant structures, and everything in-between. Basically, 3 solid months of coding before I started working.

Anyway, I found out a lot of stuff the hard way, because I didn't have an econ degree.

First off, you try enough methods, you end up p hacking or hill climbing the past anyway, and it's no good.

Second off, historical clean data is hard to get. It may or may not have splits in it or other things, so you may inadvertantly supply information from the future when playing back from the past. It's hard to get this right.

Third off, for many of the models we used, they were almost always competitive in the 80s (even a linear regression), but in the oughts or 2010's, they stopped being competitive. We thought computer based trading was becoming more competitive in hedge funds.

Fourth, simple models tended to work better. So for instance we may have trained the model on data from 70s-80s, then starting in the 80s, we did online (continuous) training as we moved the model forward in time. There's just not enough data. You can train on all historical stocks or all stocks or related data streams in the industry up to that point, but I think we probably didn't have enough data and the market is competitive.

Fifth, I wish I read a Random Walk Down Wall Street earlier, or all of Taleb's stuff. These are books that have deep mistrust of quants.

Sixth, I think to be competitive, you need to have money in the game, many heuristics, and industry experience. Big firms have this and equipment, but it's hard to get in as an individual.

Seventh, I put several hundred hours into this project and learned a bunch about machine learning and economics. In every way I loved the experience, and I'd encourage you to try it. Probably I'm a n00b here, but I hope some of my notes can help you.
Of course, but designing the next chip takes two years or more. If you're always two years behind, you're dead.

Wait, it's also doing command interpolation? I missed that. Where is the code for that? I thought it uses dotenv-expand for interpolation, which can't do commands. dotenv-expand is already a bit meh, because of how it resolves the variables after parsing the dotenv file. Meaning you can't have a verbatim single quoted string and also you can get a stack overflow doing this:

A=$B
B=$A

Anyway, I hope they don't do command interpolation on top of that (like Ruby dotenv does), because then you can inject code via environment variables (like in the Ruby version).

I recently looked into various dotenv implementations just for fun. They're all different. No unified syntax at all. A lot don't do proper parsing either, but just use some regular expressions (like this one), which means they just skip over what doesn't matches. I started to document all the quirks I could find and wrote my own dotenv dialect just for fun. Nobody use it! Anyway, here it is: https://github.com/panzi/punktum

I've experimented on a few systems to apply interval arithmetic to type inference, i.e.

// starRating is an int<0,5>, meaning
// integer between 0 and 5 inclusive.
let starRating = console.readInt<0,5>("How many stars do you rate this movie?");
db.addStarRating(starRating);

// starRatingList is a list<int<0,5>>
let starRatingList = db.readStarRatings(movie);

// totalStarRatings is an int<0,5*starRatingList.length>
// this type can't be sized at compile time, but we can still check it!
let totalStarRatings = sum(starRatings);

// avgStarRating is a very difficult type, because we need to either have
// a fraction type that's slow, or some handling of rounding/truncating
// when we do division. So now we're dealing with 3 intervals: min/max,
// min/max precision, and min/max error.
let avgStarRating = totalStarRatings / starRatingList.length;
Some additional context:

IMO terraform is probably not the right tool for the job for managing deployments. It can do it, but like helm itself, it’s also not super great at doing cluster deployments. If you’re looking for a good GUI like experience Argo is a good option.

I like Terraform for managing infra, and it’s good at a lot of things, but managing deployments on a cluster with IaC is not one of them. Why? Mainly because deployments are much more dynamic than infrastructure and the amount of throat clearing required for terraform to perform a state diff is much much much higher than other tech. Much better to look at the tech I mentioned (Argo and Flux) for that, because they do state diff for these things in milliseconds. I’ll leave it to the reader to figure out how long it takes terraform to do this.

It’s possible to go entirely in the “everything is a kube manifest” direction using technologies like Crossplane and Cluster API and (for AWS) technologies like ACK. But I don’t think we are entirely there yet for these technologies in terms of maturity, so in my recent designs I usually settle for provisioning of cluster and initial bootstrapping with terraform before mostly handing off to Argo for deployment, but then doing this weird counterbalance for having to go back to terraform when infra stuff is necessary. I can see a future world, however, where you bootstrap management clusters with something like terraform but then basically everything else, both infra (clusters, buckets, IAM, etc) and deployments (Helm) is declarative through tech like Argo and Crossplane provisioning.

The tough part right now is when you have application devs that need to provision infrastructure and then deploy on top of it. Right now that looks like asking your developer to write some app specific terraform like S3/IAM/KMS/Redis/whatever and then deploying their app on top of it with Argo or flux or what not. The ideal maybe looks like using the same tech for both eventually, as well as even provisioning the cluster that the stack runs on with the same tech.
This is not a very spicy take. A spicier take is that you can hire people without administering any interviews at all. Hire like an orchestra: through an audition process, which, in a work setting, is also known as "work-sample testing". It works a treat.

I remember diagramming being covered once, maybe 5th grade, and not sure it was addressed again.

I seem to have ended up with a very strong "sense" for correct english (though I know some parts where I'm weak; and also my online "post a comment" style stuff ends up full of shorthands...). I presume that my "being good at catching grammatical weirdness" comes from several schoolyears learning German, and being a voracious bookworm as a kid.

Curious if that sort of situation is also the case for others who weren't heavily taught diagramming but still feel they ended up being really good at correct written English.
and you said it wasn't a loaded question. That was intellectually dishonest of you.
Indeed, I suspect those two wikipedia articles ( Random variable | Random element ) have been captured by a particular school of thought, I studied post grad math in Australia and interacted with many mathematicians from a number of backgrounds, all appeared fine with treating (say) a random unit vector ( or point on the surface a sphere ) as a Random variable.

I can understand why some might make a cut between pure numbers and other objects, but it's not something that troubles many.

Your idea is flawed. If you split off AWS from Amazon, you have TWO monopolies. That's a useless move. What you need to do is split it down the middle: create Amazon 1 and Amazon 2 each with half the people, hardware, and 100% of the IP.

I watched the judge’s talk here in Portuguese https://youtu.be/qQYoE0xBkCo?si=wWfJf7Wjs4NKpO_5

Alexandre de Moraes referred to data that he had which showed that a young illiterate black guy will be considered a dealer with 20g of cannabis, while a middle aged graduated white man will need 60g for the same to happen. He also talks about what happens after someone gets caught with cannabis, they have to go watch a lecture, but since there’s no punishment for not attending it, nobody shows up.

His intention is to remind everyone that the current state of the law is ineffective and ends up affecting only the underprivileged (while not discounting punishment for those who really are trying to sell drugs and benefit from it, mentioning that a person getting caught in the act of selling should be really punished).

> Also, just as Judges can change their interpretation of the law for the better, they can also do the reverse. It would be better for example, if abortion rights was made more explicit or made outright a right guaranteed by the constitution.

Yes, I agree about the possibility of reversal!

At the risk of going on a tangent:

There's some argument to be made that eg foreign policy is best handled at the federal level, but other things like rules on acceptable levels of noise or the schedule for garbage collection should be handled my more local authorities. It's easy to see that eg Florida has very different concerns about garbage rotting away in the hot weather compared to Alaska perhaps worrying about attracting polar bears?

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsidiarity

> Subsidiarity is a principle of social organization that holds that social and political issues should be dealt with at the most immediate or local level that is consistent with their resolution. The Oxford English Dictionary defines subsidiarity as "the principle that a central authority should have a subsidiary function, performing only those tasks which cannot be performed at a more local level".[1] The concept is applicable in the fields of government, political science, neuropsychology, cybernetics, management and in military command (mission command). The OED adds that the term "subsidiarity" in English follows the early German usage of "Subsidiarität".[2] More distantly, it is derived from the Latin verb subsidio (to aid or help), and the related noun subsidium (aid or assistance).

If you care about local self rule and subsidiarity at all, rules on abortion are something that should probably be handled by perhaps the counties or at most the states.

Compare also how things like education, traffic rules and manslaughter are handled by the states.

Curiously enough, Germany handles rules on abortion with an explicit law at the federal level, most other healthcare regulations being done at the state level. I wonder what the history there is. Perhaps it wasn't historically seen as particularly related to healthcare?

In any case, I agree that an explicit rule on abortion on any level is probably better than just relying on judges.

Laws can't and shouldn't handle every case explicitly, and it's good to have judges. But if you have an issues that's so politically prominent, it makes sense to give it an explicit rule.
