I haven't touched Conductor for a few years now, but back in 2020 I did some work trying to implement it, even submitted a few PRs – https://github.com/Netflix/conductor/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%...

My impression of the code base, is I felt like it needed a lot of work to run in a non-Netflix environment. Which is part of why the project I was working on ended up abandoning Conductor – we were going to embed Conductor in our product as a workflow engine, we ended up building our own workflow engine from scratch instead. Another team did end up using it for some internal use cases, but scalability/reliability/etc are less of a concern for internal use cases as opposed to customer-facing ones.

And then Netflix abandons it – and then they open source something else which depends on an old version of it – well, I'm happy they open source anything, but it fits with my earlier impression – throwing stuff over the fence which can be a struggle to adopt in an outside environment. Still, throwing it over the fence is better than not releasing it at all.

Highly likely, yes.
Never been to one of these conferences, but I had a co-worker go to its cousin: the boondoggle conference. A boondoggle conference is one set up at a nice location so you can have your office pay for a vacation by claiming you had a paper/presentation selected. They were big 10-20 years ago, but not so much anymore as organizations caught on to the game.

It was held in Orlando (first clue), by a European academic journal (second), held in early August (third). He showed up and was told he's been made the moderator for one of the afternoon session. There were only 5 people in the room other than the speakers.

Why did US disclose this number? Is there a treaty compelling them to? Did other nuclear powers disclose them?
Exactly, saying that's all there is to know about entropy is like saying all you need to know about chess are the rules and all you need to know about programming is the syntax/semantics.

Knowing the plain definition or the rules is nothing but a superficial understanding of the subject. Knowing how to use the rules to actually do something meaningful, having a strategy, that's where meaningful knowledge lies.

I work for a company that does a lot of acquisitions. Basically all of our acquisitions involve earnouts, and they're never a bad deal for the sellers. In many cases, without the earnout the deal doesn't happen because the price the seller wants is higher than we'd be willing to pay unless the continued performance of the business post-acquisition justified the higher price tag.

But whether earnouts are good or bad for sellers is industry specific. I don't work for a tech company, and we don't deal with VC or PE firms at all. Our acquisitions are all companies with real revenue streams, established histories of revenue, and non-tech business models that don't require exponential growth or "scale", so earnouts are extremely straightforward.
My initial comment was: So much correctness in the Rust language just for to promote to all the community to crash the program from libraries without handling the error is something I can not understand.

Empathy tone changed in such last message which you are ridiculing, it is the point within all my comments, the behavior of a --release.

I should not have had dialogue as the things are not going to change. What I take with me is to think on alternative for panic/unwrap is something only come from ignorance, the best is to crash a program without let the programmer nor the final user to blink; to think in a different behavior in Rust is ridiculous. This is what is really quite something.
That's not the problem in fashion. The problem is if their non-customers tarnish the brand and drive customers away.
Very true and that's why it is odd that microcode has been mentioned here. Surely they mean PCU software (Pcode), or code for whatever they are calling the PCU these days.
the driver in question was tested and passed WHQL. CrowdStrike included functionality in the driver to interpret a downloadable file (similar to an antivirus signature file). The file in the problematic update was malformed, and the CrowdStrike driver did not handle this case properly; Windows was unable to continue given the exception in question[1].

No operating system can guarantee that a driver will never cause the machine to crash. This wasn’t Microsoft’s fault.

Yep, been using it for a while, incl ext4, you can have scheduled snapshots too, saved my arse few times, especially when you install something that cannot be easily uninstalled like hyperland or similar.
That doesn't seem right to me. I can define a function returning "void", and it can terminate. I would expect that a function returning an uninhabited type can never complete.
Don't forget the Dreamcast. It got hacked on more than it got played.
There's a fine line though. Led Zeplin didn't remix, they flat out ripped off other artists lyrics and melody. Changing the musical genre doesn't wash IMHO.

So go already. I'm a few months short of 80, and life remains fascinating and rewarding to me. I may not have a lot more to contribute in terms of career, but I'm thrilled to contribute loving support to my wife, kids, and grandkids. I learn new things every day, about the world and about myself, and I try to show loving kindness by word and by deed. When it's time for me to go, I'll do my best to exit gracefully, but I'm not in a rush. I'm not so proud to think that I, rather than the Universe (or God, if that's your thing), know when that will be.
I have had similar thing happen with Wise, a year or two ago. I’ve looked into alternatives like Mercury and Brex. If you opened up your business through Stripe Atlas or Doola and the likes could you ask them for support?

> no form of full scale nuclear war where the production apparatus for anything becomes a factor

Where full nuclear war means a full exchange of strategic fire, yes. For tactical nukes or bombardment of a non-retaliating state, less so.

Re-introducing progressive tax rates would be a small start;

Though, allegedly, a majority of Americans don't comprehend progressive tax rates.

Many state income taxes reach the top income tax rate before the federal poverty rate (ie < $12k).

The federal tax rates are poorly graduated; the first, 10% rate, cuts at $11,600 over to 12%; and then we jump 10% to 22%, only for the next bracket to have only 2% bracket gap again. Imagine if the first bracket was 0% and went all of the way to welfare levels - approximately $30k, the US could effectively eliminate the additional complication of the Standard Deduction (also a paint point of illegal filing and fraud). Imagine if every bracket was easily defined at ~10% - that could make predicting and filing easier. This is addition to payroll taxes being flat and regressive - when they could be built into the income tax.
That is assuming nuclear war breaks out with zero warning. There is usually a build up to wars that could involve ramping up production of a nuclear arsenal before any nuclear weapons are actually used.
Its odd...as someone interested but not fully into the sciences I see his name pop up everywhere.
> I dont record any single feature or product that Apple provides and uses a loss leader.

Sure, I think Apple TV+ might be their only product like this. In a lot of business analysis of streamers, Apple and Amazon are the two that are widely believed they won't get shut down (or sold/merged) even if they never make a profit at all -- because of the marketing value to Apple, and the Prime stickiness value for Amazon.

So just because Apple has never done it before, doesn't mean they aren't doing it now. Apple TV+ is unique in a lot of ways for Apple. The rest of Services, and Apple TV+, seem to have such different business models that it doesn't make a lot of sense to combine them when analyzing Apple's strategies (even if they are combined in quarterly reports).

It also works the other way: people can be socially pressured into having children

That outcome isn't "more natural" than a hypothetical where they aren't pressured and don't have children

There's no way of distinguishing instinct from social conditioning at scale, this argument is just using naturalness as a moral characterization
People who seek out martial arts tend to be at least somewhat interested in their fighting value, even if it's only for reasons of image, and the same goes for teachers.

If you're really just after physical fitness and self-discipline, a martial art may not be the best solution. Maybe yoga, acrobatics, or some forms of dance training. If you really want a martial art but aren't interested in combat, consider Tai Chi. The techniques do have combat applications but very few instructors teach it that way. The emphasis is usually on fitness, balance, bodily harmony, and a calm mind.

I'm no expert but I did four years of (very) traditional Okinawan karate and three more of a full-contact non-traditional "mixed" style called Jeet Kune Do, plus limited practice in other styles via seminars and training exchanges with different schools.

Schools teaching classic Asian arts like Karate, Kung Fu, Tae Kwon Do, etc tend to incorporate Asian culture and teaching methods as part of the package. A lot of people in that world are drawn to it because of that Asian-ness. If you're after discipline, regimentation, attention to exact form, and immersion in Asian history, that's where you'll find it. Emphasis on fighting effectiveness varies widely, as does the mood of various schools. One school may seem like it's full of bullies and another teaching exactly the same style will feel welcoming and supportive.

But don't count out the more combat-oriented arts. Krav Maga, for example, was originally developed as a hand-to-hand fighting system for the Israeli army and still keeps that spirit in mind, but there's a heavy emphasis on teaching and students' personal development. There definitely is contact but they're careful not to throw you into situations you're not ready for. You may find that becoming gradually acclimated to that physical rough-and-tumble in a safe enviroment (apart from the fighting per se) can transform your sense of self-confidence.

All martial arts training, including familiar western forms like boxing and wrestling, build self-discipline and personal development. It may be more tangible and visible in the Asian arts because of how they're taught (standing in lines, standardized exercises, ritualized greetings, etc) but it's there, just not as performative.

As others have said, the experience can vary hugely from one school and one instructor to the next. My advice would be to look at a number of styles and see if one of them resonates with you in a non-intellectual, intuitive way. One approach is to find seminars or exhibitions where practitioners of multiple styles do demonstrations and short instructional sessions. Trust your feelings more than your head. Wear comfortable gym clothes you can move and sweat in and go see what it's like.
> it's still massive overkill

The bombs are there because “the only way to avoid being the victim of a nuclear first strike (that having the enemy hit you with their nukes) was being able to credibly deliver a second strike.”

“Thus the absurd-sounding conclusion to fairly solid chain of logic: to avoid the use of nuclear weapons, you have to build so many nuclear weapons that it is impossible for a nuclear-armed opponent to destroy them all in a first strike, ensuring your second-strike lands. You build extra missiles for the purpose of not having to fire them.”

While Nintendo might not lose the trademark entirely if they don't sue, they could risk weakening its strength, therefore they have to sue in this case.

Consistent inaction against infringers can lead to the public perceiving the trademark as less distinctive. This can make it harder to protect the trademark in the future, and can encouraging further infringement.
They aren't targeting cities anymore but Russian and Chinese weapon installations. Consider the number of these. And that the ballistic missile defense is concentrated at these locations. It is surely more than 300.
For trucking company owning and developing trucks makes sense.

>I'm saying that given the choice, those who are forced into spending their time in a way that is detrimental to themselves in any other term but economic would not do so

You cant have the fruits of labor without the labor.

People make this calculus every single day, and nearly unanimously decide that it would be more detrimental to go without the fruits of labor (especially those that must be incentivized).

It is obviously worth exploring how to make work less miserable, or better fit the interests of a worker, but that is a genuinely difficult matching an allocation problem.

A "do what you want" policy would not result in the tasks people want done getting done.

The closest equivalent to a system without transactional incentives is individual subsistence farming where one has to work for oneself so they don't die.

Wouldn't that just mean the contract is upheld? Like it probably says (pardon my legalese):

[*]: If you say mean things, your dolls get a haircut.

Information entropy is literally the strict lower bound on how efficiently information can be communicated (expected number of transmitted bits) if the probability distribution which generates this information is known, that's it. Even in contexts such as calculating the information entropy of a bit string, or the English language, you're just taking this data and constructing some empirical probability distribution from it using the relative frequencies of zeros and ones or letters or n-grams or whatever, and then calculating the entropy of that distribution.

I can't say I'm overly fond of Baez's definition, but far be it from me to question someone of his stature.

> I’d frankly bet that’s going to taking care of all the other uncompensated labor a person must do to survive

Good thing they had the participants complete a time journal so we can see that it mostly went towards leisure time and socializing. Again, I'm not making a moral judgement here - for a similar amount of money relative to my salary I would also shift towards more leisure at the margin.

> I don’t think I’d draw a lot of conclusions

The point of the experiment is precisely so we can draw generalizable conclusions about how money around this quantity impacts people's behaviors/incentives. Many welfare programs offer similar quantities of saving.

I think your reasoning is a bit motivated - this is a pretty good social science experiment that was very careful to preregister their analysis.
I assume Intel's "microcode" updates include the PCU code, maybe some ME code, and whatever other little cores are hiding in the chip.
UBI is generally not metered by "%" but some flat quantity of money, whether nominal or real. That is, like a "head tax," but...negative.

In that common formulation, it would compress consumption by the entire tax+benefit base, that is, everyone would move towards median consumption by some amount, keyed to the magnitude of the UBI, if funded by any kind of proportional taxation (including a nominally regressive proportional tax, like consumption tax/VAT).

Politically, it has tough problems: 18% of the population [over age 65] already has a "MeBI" in the form of Social Security that they can vote to increase, and 22% of the population is below the age of 18, and can't vote. So that's 40% right there. Of the remaining 60% in their working years that produce the output split among themselves and that 40%, quite a few would rather not be compressed towards median consumption: the voting population is shifted higher in the consumption deciles, and people are not often so disposed to think they might find themselves luckless in the future. There's a thicket of "tax expenditures" that can form a "MeBI" for the electorate at the upper-half, like the mortgage interest deduction.

If we look at the difficulty in gaining electoral support in splitting consumption to the benefit of minors (thus, future labor) to even things out a bit, in the form of the semi-recently expired expanded child tax credit, we see the magnitude of the political problem.

Personally, I prefer to see UBI as tax reform to avoid crazy wiggling in effective marginal tax rate. But there are many reasons why it's unlikely that the electorate would see it that way, or approve of it even if they did.
You're doing the slurping.
While many supercomputers were funded by stockpile stewardship, the goal was to produce high performance computers capable of a wide range of simulation needs.

One good example would be NERSC at LBL- it's unclassified research only, and their series of supercomputers were never intended to simulate ageing nuclear weapons.

Hard to say exactly what goes on in the classified supercomputers, but they certainly weren't spending much of their time simulating aging nuclear weapons- that was the ostensible reason.

Thanks - I hadn't thought to mention the risk of trying to raise rent but it's a good note. I was mostly getting at how the conditions in the UBI scenario ("everyone could pay $1000 more in rent if I insisted") is often true now and the 1:1 rent raising wouldn't happen under UBI for similar reasons that it doesn't happen now.

I also think people tend to under-rate the softer side of landlord / tenant relationships[1]. It's better to have a tenant who you get along with and who cooperates with how you want to rent a place. It's nice not to fight with your landlord. There's some economic value there too, but it's hard to quantify. I'm kind of interested in housing interventions that ban large companies from holding too many units of housing. It mostly "puts a ceiling" on how much profit one company can derive from many rental units, but actually I'm not sure I care - and trying to maximize the human connection between the person who owns the building and the people who live in it seems sensible.

[1] To be fair, when push does come to shove, a reason to under-rate them is the landlord looses some months of rent while the tenant becomes homeless. It pushes people towards strategic thinking.
Agreed. It’s over in half a day. Ramping up production is a rung on the escalation ladder. It’s generally good to have more rungs.
Asimov Foundation books near impossible to adapt to TV series or movies. It has no typical hero's arc. Even in Gibbon's Rome book you able to follow say Nero rise and downfall. As a generic idea book, Asimov books were ahead of his time. As a good scifi novel? He was several magnitudes below Cixin - and majority would even place Ursula way way higher than Asimov. Apple Foundation literally blast through Asimov story telling. To me, at least Apple succeeded as YA or within a potshot of Cixin. Asimov literally failed in adult scifi by today's standard. What holding you is nostalgia. Evaluate the story in contemporary terms.
