The impact of Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia" on Noam Chomsky's path to anarchism
Right, but that's true in a combustion vehicle as well, and in the EV you regain energy on the downhill while a combustion vehicle at best continues to consume idle amounts of fuel and wears its brake pads.
Orbiting around earth is going to be based on sidereal time, which drifts 4 minutes per day.

Converting into normal units has no reason to care about leap seconds when it can use the actual offset and be a few orders of magnitude more precise.
Richard Feynman reports in his biography on his own experiments with lucid dreaming. He found sleep to not be restful enough anymore, found it impossible to switch the lucid part of dreaming off and eventually had a negative experience that caused him to stop.

I've been using a Minisforum UM790 Pro recently for my Ubuntu desktop. My old Ubuntu desktop is now my Proxmox server.

I maxed out the memory and the storage on the new system myself. At idle its 9W and when I did stress testing to max out the CPU and GPU, it was 70-80W. Even then the fan noise didn't bother my family which are very sensitive to fan noise.

"move the UTC prime meridian"

We'd have two prime meridians. One for time and another for longitude. (Not a deal breaker but we'd have to plan for it.)
“A dog walks into a bar and says, ‘I cannot see a thing. I’ll open this one.’”
Thanks for giving it a try and your feedback. I agree, the array splitting is a bit fiddly. It is actually possible to pass JSON directly, you use the :json type on the argument:

$ jb dependencies:json='["Bash","Grep"]'
{"dependencies":["Bash","Grep"]}

$ jb foo=bar bar:json='"this is a well formed string"'
{"foo":"bar","bar":"this is a well formed string"}

And then you can indeed use command substitution to nest calls:

$ jb foo:json=$(jb bar=baz)
{"foo":{"bar":"baz"}}

It works even better to use process substitution, this way the shell gives jb a
file path to a file to read, and so you don't need to quote the $() to avoid whitespace breaking things:

$ jb foo:json@<(jb msg=$'no need\nto quote this!')
{"foo":{"msg":"no need\nto quote this!"}}

Another option is to use jb-array to generate arrays. (jb-array is best for tuple-like arrays with varying types):

$ jb dependencies:json@<(jb-array Bash Grep)
{"dependencies":["Bash","Grep"]}

And if you use it from bash as a function, you can put values into a bash array and reference it:

$ source json.bash
$ dependencies=(Bash Grep)
$ json @dependencies:[]
{"dependencies":["Bash","Grep"]}
Thanks, our team weighed this, but decided for mvp, not to store any of chats people engage with Ella. This is a great feature we'll put on our roadmap as it's been asked for by some other folks. Appreciate you sharing.
It’s harder to fire people in Japan and Europe compared to USA.

The downside is that it is extremely hard for new grads with no experience to get their first job in Japan and Europe compares to USA.
i personally love the expectation of constant learning, growth and innovation in our field

but yes, anecdotally, compared to all of my friends and family, i don't know any profession with those same expectations. to name a few - market researchers, psychologists, primary school teachers.

Yes if you use atomic time you won’t encounter these issues.

Unixtime made a blunder of incorporating the leap seconds all those years ago so it’s not atomic hence the issue.

Now you might think it’s crazy that Unix time incorporated non-atomic leap seconds when it doesn’t incorporate any other part of the local sun relative position in its counter and you’d be 100% right in that. Leap seconds absolutely belong in the local time printing functions and nowhere else. But the blunder was made and now computers by default don’t have atomic time and here we are.
Ads are not charity. There is clearly a cost, otherwise they would lose money. They do not generate money out of thin air. "Generate" and "extract" aren't synonyms.

They do not enable any costless anything at all. They obfuscate extraction of money to make it look costless, but actually end up extracting significant amounts of money from people. Ad folks whitewash it to make it sound good, but extracting money in roundabout ways is not creating value.

Some people like learning new things. If you go into tech you should know that it's a career where you basically have to retrain every 5 years. But in return for that, you get high wages and low barriers to entry. If you're someone who enjoys learning new skills, this is a profession tailor made for you.
> A lot of code relies on FP operations being deterministic

A lot, but still quite the minority. People do run into situations where the same code with the same data produces slightly different results all the time because of changes in compiler, compiler settings, cpu arch, etc… They just don’t notice.

But, then they run into a situation where it matters and it’s a huge PITA to nail down.
One thing I've encountered more than once in the industry right now is that a lot of companies want to hire "AI Engineers", but they task their staff Very Serious Data Scientist with handling the interview. Inevitably, all the questions will be minutiae about different ANN designs and training processes. And without fail, no one involved will be actually dealing with that stuff on a day to day basis.
Theres a lot to unpack here...

lmao I did almost the exact same thing with my old Threadripper 2950x and now it's my VM-host for a Windows Server 2022 instance and the main proxmox install I use for playing with different AI models from ollama (with my old RTX 2080)

> That's still a SIXTH of the throughput of a standard gas station, so to achieve the same rate of refueling (and I dunno about you, but highway-side gas stations are always pretty busy) you would not only need six times the fueling spaces available as a gas station

You can’t directly compare these, there are lots of factors to take into account.

Lots of people will charge at home. I used a public charger yesterday for this first time in 6 months yesterday. It took 29 minutes. My time refuelling my diesel at 5 minutes a week would have been 2 hours. So for me it was a quarter of the usual time. Someone that can’t charge at home would be more.
My biggest issue with Backblaze B2. It’s so much effort to get my invoice each month. I don’t get why companies send out billing emails but don’t just attach the invoice or insert a link directly to the invoice.

Yeah you're right about that. I consider global styling of tags such a bad practice that I would suggest removing all of that immediately.

I had to deal with this in a project using https://materializecss.com, and it was such an uphill battle to override these styles. Because apparently nobody considered that an application might have more than one kind of table https://materializecss.com/table.html.
I really hate when someone writes a time + dst/pst/cet/whatever, rather than using utc, or even at least adding the utc time additionally.
EVs do better at high altitudes and altitude changes than combustion vehicles.

Combustion engines, especially naturally-aspirated ones, lose power at high altitudes due to lower air density for combustion.

Combustion vehicles spend just as much extra energy going uphill as EVs do, but that energy is not recouped on downhill sections.

EVs also get the benefit of not wearing mechanical brakes going downhill.

I drive my EV in mountains all the time with 5,000ft elevation changes without issue. Average travel speed (highways) matters more than elevation changes especially if your net elevation change is neutral over a round trip.
I'd say that if your team needs a meeting summarizer, your team has a meeting problem.

It's a clutch that will help you cope with the problem. But the real value is on fixing the actual issue.
As a child, for a few years I had a recurring nightmare with multiple false awakenings, sometimes five or six until I would wake up for real.

I would wake up in bed, get up and at a specific point, an overwhelming feeling of impending doom would overcome me. Then at the peak of this emotion, a monster would grab me by my ankles and violently drag me back up the stairs and into bed. I would then wake up and repeat the process.

Sometimes, I was not sure anymore if I landed in reality or if this existence will turn into horror again.
The point is they will not want to change their time zone to a different one from their neighbors if they are in the same zone, because that has economic downsides. And the neighboring country will not want to change along because winter mornings will be too dark or whatever. It’s exactly the issue that currently prevents dropping DST in the EU, although a majority would prefer not changing clocks twice a year.
Impressively, the author predicts the rise of declarative programming:

> "The idea may be highlighted by comparing instructions ordinarily addressed to intelligent human beings with instructions ordinarily used with computers. The latter specify precisely the individual steps to take and the sequence in which to take them. The former present or imply something about incentive or motivation, and they supply a criterion by which the human executor of the instructions will know when he has accomplished his task. In short: instructions directed to computers specify courses; instructions-directed to human beings specify goals. ... It is clear that, working within the loose constraints of predetermined strategies, computers will in due course be able to devise and simplify their own procedures for achieving stated goals."
This sounds good for a home server if you need to do CPU-intensive things, like transcoding video, or running an ML model on CPU.

But if you only need to do lower-compute things (e.g., file serving, serving static/dynamic Web pages, home automation, running simple other server processes), some other home server options include:

* SBCs (like Rasberry Pi).

* Intel NUCs, and those mini-PCs that are marketed as corporate thin clients, and which can be gotten used for what you'd pay for a modern RaspI plus the required duct-taped supporting accessories.

* "NAS" boxes that people who want to plug&play lots of RAID storage buy, and who sometimes run additional small server stuff on on the "NAS" box.

* Retired datacenter and office rackmount servers, if you can make them quiet enough. I've eyed the Dell R210 II and later versions (1U, short-depth), but ended up going with...

* Retired short-depth 1U rackmount Atom servers. These has been my favorite, and I converted them to fanless, except for retrofitting the Flex-ATX PSU with a Noctua fan. Sometimes I'd buy retired enterprise appliances that I knew were just Supermicro hardware with different bezel or paint, but my current servers are more hand-picked parts. They draw more power than a RasPi, but have a lot less misc. fragility.

Also, if you need a GPU compute server, or a big CPU, you could do a lot worse than building it around a gaming PC that's already designed to cool big GPUs without being too loud. Personally, I squeezed a 3090 into a 4U rackmount chassis, with 3 Noctua fans, which also works, but was harder. (And if I wasn't already married to the PlayStation ecosystem for gaming, I probably would've made the GPU server double as a Steam box that happens to loan out its GPU for occasional ML crunching jobs.)
The two worst offenders I can think of with regards to using local time were Rackspace, and Southwest Airlines.

Not in the Bay Area, but every other west-coast company I've been involved with is pretty militant about using UTC, typically due battle wounds from communication challenges or time-related bugs.

I would be very curious to hear which other major companies are deploying systems on local time in 2024.

Meaning is culturally contingent, though - the appropriate “moral” of a parable can change as culture changes around it, which can lead to changes to the parable itself.

For a contrived example, 100 years ago, the idea that one would defy one’s parents and pursue one’s own dreams would have been frowned upon, and any parables referencing that action would clearly contain the moral that one should listen to one’s parents. Today, that would be an almost unthinkable moral - discard your dreams and stick to whatever hidebound business your parents were in? Surely we got something wrong in the translation here.

Written in meter, though, clearly the only word that fits here is “shan’t”, not “must”.
There's a great blog post that identifies your position as the Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics [0]:

> The Copenhagen Interpretation of Ethics says that when you observe or interact with a problem in any way, you can be blamed for it. At the very least, you are to blame for not doing more. Even if you don’t make the problem worse, even if you make it slightly better, the ethical burden of the problem falls on you as soon as you observe it. In particular, if you interact with a problem and benefit from it, you are a complete monster. I don’t subscribe to this school of thought, but it seems pretty popular.

Proton is guilty because they attempt to protect free speech and aren't able to do so completely. Fastmail is not guilty because they don't do anything more to protect free speech than any other provider.

Can anyone tell me wtf happened to SSD prices in the last ~year? I've seen some prices almost double.

E.g. crucial 1 TB SATA SSDs went from a low of 45 to now 90 $.

if you look closely, I didn't say Scrum IS agile cosplay.... I said it encourages it. IMHO The problem with Scrum is that the nature of Scrum encourages the abuse of it. It is ripe for gaming, ripe for making jobs that didn't need to be jobs, adding busywork, etc.

I work in technical diligence, and have personally interviewed about ~60 companies now on their processes among other things. I have definitely seen good, high-functioning Scrum! But I see it abused more, and in my experience every scrum team I've been on suffers those problems, whether mild or extreme. I just don't think choosing a process that sets you up for organizational process abuse is a good plan.

Left to my own devices, I would use a combination of Kanban and XP, with Scrum retrospectives. Figuring out how many things can fit precisely in the next two weeks would be the first thing on the chopping block - mostly a waste of time and gamed all the time.

Of course the real elephant in the room is that agile at its fundamental core is predicated on good automated testing and most teams don't have good automated testing. I would estimate ~10-20% of teams I talk to are actually doing agile as it was intended in the manifesto. (And these are companies that are getting major investments or aquisitions, or we wouldn't be talking to them). :-/

> What exactly do you think is fantastical? Using one year's production of one element? Because I'd already noted that the political aspects are severe enough

Do we stockpile the entire production of aluminium across the entire planet every year, and don't use it just because of politics?

Or do we actually use that yearly production in, you know, actual things that are produced from aluminium?

> only one country would be capable but even then it would be a surprise.

Even the magical country of China would not be able to put the stunt of converting 77 million tons of aluminium into a 40 000 kilometer-long power cable.

Leap seconds are a problem because I have to deal with existing systems that use leap seconds and those that do not.

Does it occasionally cause bugs that waste time and resources? Absolutely.

I'd love to snap my fingers and make everyone use TAI, but unfortunately I'm stuck with UTC, GPS and TAI depending on sources.
Any power not explicitly granted the Federal government in the Constitution devolves to individual states, so each state would have the power to decide constitutionality as a matter of state law.

If we're going by a strictly textualist interpretation of the Constitution then this is the only valid option, barring a Constitutional Amendment to actually give the power of judicial review to the Supreme Court.

Is it absurd and insane? Yes. But so is determining law by in essence conjuring the ghosts of dead men.

This is a _dense_ book (in the best way). So much incredible history that's not as well presented anywhere else I've found. Sitting at 500+ pages and the font is pretty damn small, this is one hell of an informative book. We really stand on the shoulders of giants.
I believe that imbuing what the model does to make a prediction with the idea of "shortcuts" is oversimplifying a more complex issue. I don't think it's helpful to describe a model that can distinguish demographics as taking "shortcuts". I think that adds a layer of jargon that we then need to cut through to understand what is going on.

There are plenty of tools that have been developed to enforce that models perform in a manner that is unbiased across some dimension (e.g., sex, or hospital, etc). (For example unsupervised domain adaptation.) I think that splitting the field with jargon makes it more difficult to follow the breadth of the field.
Totally possible. About 30-40% of the people in our AI team don’t have a formal AI background. Especially with LLMs a lot of work has shifted towards “data literate software engineering”. We call them AI engineers / AI developers. Good development skills are very transferable to those roles.
