I think that the original Jurassic Park book mentioned that the dinosaurs found a way to get around the lysine issue.

After all, humans can't produce lysine either, and we propagate in the wild just fine!
> This past March, the new bus finally made its debut. School officials had already agreed on a way to allay everyone’s concerns. It wouldn’t drive beyond the edge of town.

What a waste of federal tax payer dollars; Because of fear, not actual experience, their most efficient bus is handicapped.
>> then we should be vastly increasing the speed limit! Why not 100mph? 120mph?

I mean, Poland has 90mph speed limit on motorways and yet it's still safer than US which generally has very low speed limits everywhere. The only reasonable conclusion is that safety isn't directly correlated to the speed limits but to the state of infrastructure, driver training and culture.
I'm not trying to lie and I'm aware my data isn't perfect, but I'm the only one providing any data at all so far. I have repeatedly asked for better data and been denied. I can only analyze the data I have, imperfect though it may be. When someone is consistently asking for better data, criticizing that person's data is kinda dumb.

> Does Malaysia Airlines having one airplane shot down by the Russians, and another sent into the drink by a pilot-mass-murder-suicide count as an incident? Are either of them Boeing's fault? Are anti-SAM missile defenses supposed to be a standard feature on commercial airliners?

You're making the mistake of assuming Boeing's fault is what matters. If, for whatever reason, Boeing's planes are more likely to be shot down - regardless of whether or not they are at fault - they are still more dangerous. We are not at the why stage yet, we are at the what stage.

Anyway, since then I've found better data that actually implies Boeing is safer than Airbus.

> Boeing aircraft have a lower frequency of crashes per million flights compared to Airbus, with Boeing having a rate of one crash per 184 million flights and Airbus having a rate of one crash per 081 million flights.

I’m here to ask the obvious question: how does Bufstream compare to Warpstream?

The Developer Voices episode on Warpstream gave me vibes that those folks really know what they’re doing, and also went into a lot of detail on how they avoid frequent S3 writes, reimplement the equivalent of the Linux disk cache, etc. How does Bufstream make the equivalent choices and tradeoffs?

Have y’all tested with Antithesis? Or Jepsen?

Just curious: looks interesting!
The noise isn't the only issue but it certainly contributes - I've noticed fixing the noise issue with headphones/earplugs does wonders. I would expect the air pressure (=oxygen availability) to contribute too, and another factor are the movements and vibrations.
I suspect you will find that in many cases, people whose brains have been hijacked by chemical dependency may experience some difficulty in behaving as a stakeholder in society. It will often not stack up favorably against feeding that dependency, no matter how much they might favor it in the abstract.
To clarify, they didn't "find a special protein called AP-1". AP-1 is a well known, well studied family of transcription factors.

From snippet in background for https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6678392/:

"The Activator protein-1 (AP-1), is a group of transcription factors consisted of four sub-families: the Jun (c-Jun, JunB, JunD), Fos (c-Fos, FosB, Fra1, Fra2), Maf (musculoaponeurotic fibrosarcoma) (c-Maf, MafB, MafA. Mafg/f/k, Nrl), and the ATF-activating transcription factor (ATF2, LRF1/ATF3, BATF, JDP1, JDP2) protein families [21], characterized by pleiotropic effects and a central role in different aspects of the immune system such as T-cell activation, Th differentiation, T-cell anergy and exhaustion [22,23]. "

They found a correlation between AP-1 binding sites/motifs and genes with age related changes in expression through their analysis (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S155041312...):

"This revealed that age-opening DARs had the highest enrichment for a subset of bZIP motifs, including AP-1 subunits FRA2, FRA, JUN, JUNB, FOS, ATF3, and BATF, compared with the other peak categories (Figures 4C and S5B). Conversely, age-closing DARs had the lowest AP-1 enrichment (Figures 4C and S5B). As broadly expressed pioneer factors,39,40 AP-1 family members are responsive to a variety of stimuli41 and have been linked to potentiating age-related pathologies and phenotypes.12,13,42,43,44,45 This makes them strong candidates for driving age-related chromatin opening. Highly stable cCREs showed intermediate enrichment levels for these AP-1 motifs (Figures 4C and S5B). However, a distinct feature of highly stable cCREs was very high CTCF motif enrichment levels and binding relative to all other peak categories (Figures 4D, S5B, and S5C)."

A large part of the rise in metals theft in recent years is from organized crime increasingly investing in and optimizing the sector.
If you are in poverty in America and want to get help, it's pretty easy to get.

No, you're wrong. The only thing one can say is "many programs exist" but they are altogether inadequate even without their restrictions (which you're minimizing).

Most places section 8 housing is nearly impossible to get with years waits common. Shelters have extremely restrictive conditions as well as being very unpleasant (being around people destroyed by the system isn't good for even those not yet in terrible condition).

Also, drugs and alcohol are often by homeless people to get to sleep in circumstances where it would be otherwise impossible.
Blaming the "woke" people and not corrupt police officers that indiscriminately murder people or the system that protects them is pretty telling.
I couldn’t play the video on iPad OS Safari. Just FYI. Sounds interesting.
You seem to make the point that the problem will be solved with more police, even though part of the cultural attitude you mention vs police has been a direct response to the militarization and brutality, yet at the same time indifference of the police force. The BLM movement was triggered by police brutality, but your take is that we need more and more active police?

It has nothing to do with poverty, and everything to do with some people prioritizing money for themselves over the externalities.

"If I make $100, and some stranger who I don't know loses $10,000...well, sucks to be that stranger, he should have paid a security guard to watch his wires" is the mindset of a whole load of people in the world.

> I reactively feel this is stretching it for people who travel around just to load/unload boxes of equipment at events/concerts/etc. But the way you worded this is definitely not wrong - even manual laborers may find LLM's useful for determining whether they, their peers, and their bosses are following proper safety/health/HR regulations.

It's more than that when the LLMs go mutli-modal. A model (or an ensemble) that can hear you talking and see what you're showing it suddenly becomes very useful even for manual labor. Instructions, inspections, situational awareness, to think of few cases; this is a thoroughly unexplored space so far.
Okay? What will that prove? That you can be an ass?

Being an ass is generally not illegal. Particular behaviours might be, but no legal or social system intends to censure you for every possible one, and most people who are experts in law or ethics don't believe that they should.

If you identify particular problems with the particular paparazzi laws in your country, that's an interesting conversation, and maybe, if framed well, an interesting data point for this discussion, but is not in itself the 'last word' on it. Just because you can torture an analogy, doesn't mean the analogy has a lot of power.

Also from the "fuck them" department: I have gigabit at home, and about 1.25TB per month quota. The ISP recently was advertising me to upgrade to 2Gb. I was intrigued, checked it out... exact same quota. My math says that on 2Gbps I could use up the month's quota in 85 minutes (accounting for network overhead let's generously say 2 hours).

There is a lot of value in being a team player.

A guy on my team is in love with FastAPI, yet a big project we need to integrate with uses Flask. Instead of just using Flask, he ranted on it until the lead architect on the project built a FastAPI implementation just for him... and then he never used it. This was probably for the best, as having random sections in FastAPI for no good reason would just make the code base harder to work with for every other dev who was familiar with Flask, but probably hadn't worked with FastAPI.

If a company is using TS, use TS. Being the lone hold out makes it harder on everyone. Consistency is more important than minor differences of opinion.
What are the inputs that go in to $10 being the "right" price? SF's minimum wage? Tax rates by bracket? A desire for things to be cheaper?
> Cute, but, I question the value

I came here just to say that. What an half-baked idea. It might be trivial to mindlessly bolt on response headers, but if the goal is that the mechanism needs to be impactful and have consequences then the response header is a big red herring as you're actually relying on clients to implement support for sunsetting the endpoints. If that's the case then you already have meaningful mechanisms, such as passing this sort of metadata in responses to requests for the root resource. This is something that pretty much any HATEOAS spec already supports.
This seems pretty unequivocal then- they're clearly using this to provide additional functionality to their own applications (at least Meet) that other companies who don't control the browser can't match.
Epic stuff in general. I hope the rest of the world can stay semi-comoetitive.

I'm also just blown away by how lateral China is able to invest & grow. They attached the first 100MW 400MWh vanadium redox flow battery, the Dalian Flow Battery Energy Storage Peak-shaving Power Station, in 2022. VRFB don't experience cell degradation, should keep working for decades and decades, which radically alters the lifecycle cost. And they scale capacity by just having more tanks, which is awesome too. It's epic, sustaining innovation. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanadium_redox_battery https://newatlas.com/energy/worlds-largest-flow-battery-grid...
I'm referring to needing to traverse all path segments to determine the winding order for an individual pixel. You can't solve this problem locally, you need global knowledge. The easiest way to do this is to build an acceleration structure to contain the global knowledge (what Slug does), but you can also propagate the global knowledge across (Hoppe ravg does this).
I'm not sure "pretty easy" is fair. In my city, there's a lottery for Section 8 housing. The applications are regularly closed. I think our applications might've been closed since 2020 (https://www.kcha.org/housing/vouchers/lottery). The people who got on that list before 2020 are periodically chosen in a lottery when vouchers occasionally become available. Once they have the voucher, they are then responsible for finding a landlord that accepts Section 8 housing vouchers and has an availability.

That's not to say that there aren't many options for aid, but many of these programs are much less available than you'd think.
Maybe if so many people who have been granted significant authority over others, aka "police", hadn't abused their power over a long period of time, to the point of causing significant harm, including death, of presumed innocent people, those "woke activists" wouldn't be calling for limits on those powers.
I would point out that "repetition" is not all equal. Education has a tendency to front load lots of repetition which creates boredom and disengagement. The spacing of repetition is often poorly done and rarely individualized.

Part of what makes "spaced repetition" so effective is that the spacing is customized based on performance and you aren't forced to keep frequently practicing the things you know well and can focus that effort on the things that aren't quite clicking.

As testing becomes more standardized, it does a worse job of assisting with the education process and serves only as a measurement tool. Tying funding to standardized test results turns them into a gamifies metric that actively makes education worse.

Edit: I believe an important goal of education should be to instill joy in and desire for learning. These are important for the kinds of self directed practice that are key to making progress because we have a some natural sense for what challenges us and what doesn't. This should be supplemented by experts explaining how skills link together and build on top of each so we know how to learn a skill that is currently too hard to practice directly.
> The point is we live in a society of laws

I used to believe this, but watching the Trump presidency really shook something loose for me, and now I pretty much believe we live more in a society of "whatever you can get away with" if I was to put my feeling into words. You might think that that means I feel like I can do whatever I want, but it's sort of made me realize how important my own morality is to me and I feel like I'm living the best I have in my lifetime. I guess it didn't have that effect on everyone however.
Human evolutionary history may beg to differ in that the nervous system has evolved to be optimal for processing input from the natural senses; but the mighty truth is it is all mere signals. With sufficiently biochemically sophisticated interfaces, and potentially medicine to ease the adaption, any signal source can become a sense. I must underline that a link between "a sense" and the neurvous system can be monodirectional but "should" be bi-directional; if we give a person a sense as the ability to percieve the traffic of an arbitary server, we will be humane and ALSO give them the eyelids to ignore and open their perception of the ports. Which parts of the brain are best for such interfacing? I believe the commonly spread understanding of the notion of a sense must be uncomplete; were one sense closed, there is no reason we could not put two senses in its place. I imagined sort of graph structure connecting senses but this intuition hide away partially, and I cannot elaborate it further now...
I’m not asserting why they were developed in the first place. The comment is just about which one is used, supposing that they already exist.

Could you explain more about how first responders are not empowered at their jobs? I'm mostly curious if you see the cause as something local, or more like national policy that changes your ability to do your job.
It's not nonsense but neither is what you said. Both things can be true. There is a high level of poverty and large wealth disparity. There is also a lack of enforcement.
> And have you seen the markup generated by React and its ilk?

I completely agree with your point that most sites could easily just be static HTML and we would all be better for it, but React does not generate any markup beyond what the developer instructs it to.

A lot of the hate modern JS frameworks get is actually the result of so many web developers having poor HTML skills (and, if I’m being honest, poor development skills all round). Nothing inherent to any JS framework is responsible for div soup.

You can construct clean semantic HTML from React just as easily as you can hand-write crappy HTML directly into a file on a server.
You'd probably throw some AI bullshit at this problem, in a race to the bottom. My hope would be for any "content creator" worth watching to be displeased with extremely low effort crap painted all over their production, so they ultimately get the message.

You’re also pre-supposing that scrapyards are innocent victims of those thieves passing off goods as their own, but this scale of theft-to-scrap absolutely requires criminality of both sides of the transaction.
Several issues:

1. Of course you can live in poverty without being an addict, that wasn't an implication of what I said.

2. Biochemistry is technology.

3. Tech will, has, and is 'solving' poverty.

4. My point is that it is not poverty driving people to strip copper from the walls, it is drug addiction.
There were talks for ending this last bit of "madness" to help with the climate (to go at double one's speed one needs to spend 4 times more energy).
Poor people aren't stealing copper. Crackheads are.

> How does it increase safety? Someone else will just catch up to him on that hill.

Instead of having an ever growing queue of cars that try to pass on the hill, they pass before hand on the flats. So there's not mass chaos when 100 cars who have been trying at 10 mph under the speed limit for an hour all try to pass on the uphill, while the truck is slowing from 60-40.

> If safety is your concern, then it's even easier and safer to predict conditions without passing until a passing lane opens up, or a turn out is reached for him.

Sure, some do that, it's the drivers choice. Personally if passing is allowed, I like to pass slower vehicles. My car accelerates quickly, so I like to pass quickly and spend the minimum amount of time in the oncoming traffic lane.

Just seems natural to let the cars get ahead whenever they can, after all the cars usually have a different speed limit than the trucks. Thus the carefully engineered lane markers, truck specific speed signs, and often passing lanes on the hills.
Ethernet was added to the HDMI standard since version 1.4 and most cables today support that. If your TV is connected to an already networked box via a HDMI cable, chances are that it won't need a WiFi connection to go online.

Also, it could connect to an open WiFi without telling the user since it wouldn't need any input to enter credentials. It is becoming a lot harder to remain offline, at least with TVs.
Sure, as can any library.

> We have been effectively neutered by woke activists that think everyone is out to get them

Do you actually believe that or do you think there are perhaps broader issues at play?
Even giving the benefit of the doubt that we can decide whether a thief was doing it to alleviate their poverty, it's still impossible to paint "poverty" theft as broadly sympathetic, since logically only a subset of thieves are making a sympathetic decision based on their personal circumstances. I.e. simply being poor doesn't mean you are stealing because you were forced into unfair circumstances and it's the only option you have left and your child is sick, etc.

Yes, Americans have a problem regarding crime perception - a lack of sympathy and a thirst for punishment. But your attitude is simply the opposite problem. Trying to use your broad paintbrush is only going to create antagonism. People understandably hate crime - hate. It ruins homes, businesses, communities, one's sense of safety and camaraderie - all of the things we work hardest for and hold dearest. It's too much to ask.
That's slightly different. analog phone lines suffer from 'line echo', which is an echo generated by the phone line itself - because the same pair of wires is used for signals traveling in both directions. If you're thinking of the 'hybrid' , which connects the phone line to the speaker and mic, that matches the impedence of each of the three pairs of wire (to the mic, speaker, and phone line) to avoid generating echo in the first place. But they weren't perfect (and echo could be generated at other points in the line) so later, digital electronics was used to do first "echo suppression" (just zero any signal below certain magnitude) and then echo cancellation, which is very similar to acoustic echo cancellation (an AEC can probably do anything an LEC can do, but the LEC is less capable).

I'm not aware of anyone doing echo cancellation using an analog circuit, but that doesn't mean no-one did. I guess it's theoretically possible but I don't see how the adaption could work.
There is no impact to a company's bottom line when you are emulating a product they do not sell.
