Im very comfortable with the thought of being unable to make the situation better, but at least I can try to avoid making it actively worse: for example by avoiding unnecessary luxuries like private jets. That is hardly anti-human.

> If I drive to the factory with my EV and work on a hydrogen airplane using electric tools charged with solar panels, this seems perfectly reasonable.

Again: just because you don’t burn gasoline doesn’t mean you’re not causing CO2 emissions (or generate toxic waste etc.). What I am arguing against is unnecessary production of technology—such as personal aviation machines.

Our house is definitely on fire, as a mindbogglingly huge number of scientists has been announcing for quite a while now. People in North America and Europe just don’t get to enjoy the flames yet.

And there is a clear category of things that would be worthwhile: less flights; less concrete and steel; less driving; more local production. It just requires the will to accept painful changes to our way of life.
Preprocessing new schema takes 'under 10 seconds'. That's... a huge range? Unless the preprocessing time is a small fraction of the inference time, I don't see the point.

I'm working on an app that dynamically generates schema based on user input (a union of arbitrary types pulled from a library). The resulting schema is often in the 800 token range. Curious how long that would take to preprocess
Moving out of SF may be the correct choice, but most engineers I know who have moved out of CA to cheaper cost of living areas have regretted their decision for one reason or another. Better taxes on paper may not translate to a better talent pool.

Wow, that's crazy-town even for Musk. They keep using the term "illegal" to refer to everyone's right to decide who they will or won't do business with. I'm eagerly anticipating hearing what law(s) Musk thinks were broken.

Surely you can agree that, if the rule is no "misgendering or deadnaming of transgender individuals", a conservative who is arguing that personal pronouns are silly is either compelled to bow to their opposition or violate the rules. Or that, in an argument about illegal immigration, a conservative forbidden from "asserting that members of a protected category are more likely to take part in dangerous or illegal activities" will find it impossible to convey their belief that illegal immigrants are more likely to commit crime.

I don't personally agree with either position, but those rules clearly give conservatives an explicit disadvantage.

And the implicit advantage was more clear- I don't have a twitter account, but whenever I followed a link there, there were piles of recommended tweets about how white people are all racist, or complaining about toxic masculinity / mansplaining / manspreading, or how christians are evil and hate women, or how much boomers suck- all of this clearly in violation of the rules, none of it censored. Well, maybe some of it was censored, I wouldn't know. But they certainly left quite a lot untouched.

Yeah as recently as this last week with tech peers, apparently "search for" came across as "look for this in sharepoint" not to search for it on the internet, but "google it" instantly was understood.
I mean, if you want to be pedantic about it, I suppose it depends on whether or not “telephone sales” implies something actually being sold.

They seem unaware that a lot of SF based people go to the east bay.

But it's not inevitable that families move to suburbs either. Commenter is partly perpetuating a 1960s era "white flight" kind of stereotype, where cities are said to be terrible for families. I happen to have two kids in SF.

Additionally, a lot of what drives people out of SF specifically is the expense.
These sorts of trading that isn't buy-and-hold is effectively credit with a variable concluding price. Certainly anything involving leverage is, by definition, credit.

Short selling is basically equivalent to put options. Crucially, in both cases, as the price goes up the potential loss increases, theoretically unbounded (!). The loss may be larger than the amount of money originally put down.

Thus, there are two options:

- provide collateral to the broker to indicate that you are still capable of covering the loss. If the trade goes bad, you pay up or lose the collateral. Similar to a mortgage foreclosure.

- have a sufficiently good relationship with the broker that they know you're good for unlimited losses, and are willing to take the risk that you go bankrupt and put that risk on the broker's own balance sheet.

Brokers observe that a trade which has gone sufficiently far out of the money isn't coming back, and therefore prefer to liquidate early rather than get into deep losses.
Interesting use case, I'll definitely consider it. Thanks for sharing.
> On the one hand, it's breathtakingly mundane that the model can now do the most basic of tasks: conform to an output specification.

Ah yes.

My approach so far has been to first extract the brand names (which are also not written the same way for some fcking reason!), update the strings, and then compare the remaining.

If they have a high similarity (e.g. >95%) then they could be automatically merged, and then anything between 75%-95% can be reviewed manually.
If Apple could produce a high quality, privacy-minded search that respected common query operators, I'd jump for it. Unfortunately without robust ads, there's no money in it.

Bing as of a handful of years ago wasn't all that bad -- in fact, if you lived in the Microsoft enterprise sphere, it was arguably better than Google. Now that Bing belongs to the ad division, it's no better than Google search. Both platforms are defacto promoted ad engines with SEO gaming for results just beyond the ads.

And I'm aware of Kagi, but it's not for the wide swaths of whatever can be indexed out there... it's tough to stomach paying for a utility that has been free since the 1990s.

Ten Principles for Evolving Teams and Organizations
I won’t disagree there are more and less productive mindsets you can have about your situation. But mindset isn’t everything. You can choose to have a productive mindset while understanding the political choices that were made. And that is important because we can make political choices to fix the problems that have been caused. You can’t just grind your way out of neoliberalism.

Your card analogy hides the fact that your cards weren’t dealt randomly. Opportunity isn’t evenly distributed. The cards were deliberately chosen. Politicians chose winners and losers when they rewrote the tax code to reward capital over labor, make it easier to ship your job overseas, cut funding for education, and now allow companies to buy up a quarter of new housing. And the only way those trends get reversed is if people become more aware of it, not less.
That's a lot of words to say "We did not test a file that gets ingested by a kernel level program, not even once"

At no point did they deploy this file to a computer they owned and attempted to boot it. They purposely decided to deploy behavior to every computer they could without even once making sure it wouldn't break from something stupid.

Are these people fucking nuts?

I do more testing than this and I might be incompetent. Also nothing I touch will kill millions of PCs. I get having pressure put on you from above, I get being encouraged to cut corners so some shithead can check off a box on his yearly review and make more money while stiffing you on your raise, I get making mistakes.

BM25 is definitely a big deal when you're doing FTS. It's one of the reasons I've switched to Arango as my DB for the project I'm working on that needs FTS. The fact it also comes with graphs means I don't need to bang my head against CTEs either.

Not saying Arango can replace Postgres but for my needs, it's a much better fit AND it offers the FTS that I need out of the box.
The fact that cold calling was expensive was a signal that the caller was legitimate.

In the era where calling someone on the phone is cheap and highly optimized, getting a phone call is not a signal for quality.

But back in the 1980s that wouldn’t have been the case. If a human being picked up the phone and called you, you would be more inclined to listen to them, simply because you knew it was expensive for them to call and it happened infrequently. Phone spam didn’t become a thing until much later.

> Apparently in 2020, Google conducted a study looking to see what would happen to its bottom line if it “were to significantly reduce the quality of its search product.” The conclusion was even if the company made search shittier, the revenues from Search would be fine.

Just because they could, doesn't mean they should. But I guess they decided to anyway - it was around that time that adverts shifted from being clearly labelled to being disguised as search results.
The definition of reals given in this programming language amounts to Real := Nat -> Rat, with the interpretation being that the real number is represented as the limit of this function as the argument increases to infinity.

Snazzy, but not quite right. (A footnote hints that it may not be quite right.)

First, the encoding permits you to write down functions that diverge to infinity. So the type, Real, includes objects which are not reals. You may say, well, those objects are various encodings of infinity, and this type represents the reals together with infinity. Ok, but now consider what happens with these diverging functions when you operate on them. They do not all encode the same infinity. A function f(n) = n^2 diverges way faster than g(n) = n, so that f - g is decidedly still diverging, though f - f would encode zero.

But it's worse: The limit isn't supposed to change if you shift the input by a finite amount. That should give equivalent encodings, right? But f(n+1) - f(n) does not encode 0, but rather some infinity. Even g(n+1) - g(n) encodes 1. The moral is that the limit-taking operation does not commute with the arithmetic operations, so you can't safely define arithmetic over this encoding of the reals in the presence of diverging functions.

Second, it gets worse still: You can have functions with multiple limits. For example, h(n) = (-1)^(n%2), which alternates between plus and minus 1. Such functions in a certain way encode multiple reals at the same time!

In summary, this data type does not work as a real type. It must be constrained so that the limit in question always exists and is unambiguous. I'd suggest pairing the type up with an integer (or rational) to serve as an upper bound, and interpreting the function to encode the real which is the lesser of the bound and the limsup (not the limit) of the function.
On other hand at this point I think users were coming from DOS where the latest and most relevant information was always at the bottom. Like during boot sequence or in general execution of programs.

It is not like modern Linux when showing startup steps updates to top either, but to bottom.
I lived for about 12 months in telegraph hill (got lucky with a solid apartment). I had my wife and 1 year old son.

Despite it being a really nice and affluent neighborhood, there was a weekly mugging outside my house. Any packages or items left outside were basically taken if left out for more than 1 hour. My neighbor’s car parked in front of the house was stolen, taken for a joyride and left in a random part of the city.

On top of that the schools were bottom of the stack in terms of scholastic achievement compared to where i grew up (upstate ny).

Bottomline, when you have a family you don’t have the luxury of tolerating political nonsense at the cost of elevated risk. Moved out.

Only things I miss is the natural beauty and outdoors of California, and the technical community. Nothing like it elsewhere.
There was a movie subplot that featured something like this as part of the main character's midlife crisis. Something with Kevin Spacey. American Beauty?

People who retire from professional jobs often do pick up part time work that would be classified as "menial" because they want to keep engaged and/or make a little extra money. I've had older Lyft drivers who retired from professional backgrounds including one guy who was a comptroller for an engineering firm in Boston. The WSJ sometimes profiles retirees who fall into this bucket as well. IIRC there was a former CEO who couldn't stand being at home and decided to work at the local airport information counter, maybe even as a volunteer.
Also, a lot of older people don't want big houses, and having easy access to amenities and socialization is more important than having extra empty bedrooms.

I'm seeing that between 1978 and 1989 works could receive copyright protection, regardless of the display of a notice, if they were registered within 5 years.[0] Otherwise everything I'm reading jibes w/ what you're saying.

So it is possible Warhol registered these works, in which case they would be protected by copyright until 2057.

Edit: A quick search w/ LOC's "Official Public Catalog" through "Visual Material" registered to "Warhol Andy" after 1984 doesn't return any titles that look like they'd be these images. He definitely registered a ton of stuff (as would have been required for the time).

It does cost them, actually, but they will not be able to measure it. Though they didn't have much good will and trust to start with.

I'm more surprised by how CF is handling this. They seemed like the "good guys" (for the Big Tech anyway) so this is not how I would expect them to handle the situation.
Leverage is basically the same as margin, which is using stock shares or cryptocurrency (I'll just use "shares" for the remainder of this comment) that you own as collateral for a loan to buy more shares. It's often given as a ratio, like 2X. This means that if you buy $100 worth of shares, you can borrow another $100 worth and own $200 worth.

The catch is that if the value of the asset drops, you still need to be able to cover your loan with the asset. So if you bought 1 share for $100, you can leverage it to buy 1 additional share. But it's important to note that the actual cash value of your account is still only $100.

If the share price drops to $50, then you will likely face liquidation. Why? Because you're still responsible for the $100 loan. If you get liquidated, you're forced to sell your two shares for $50 each, $100 total. But then you have to pay back the loan, so you end up with $0.

The upside, however, is that if the share price went up to $150, you could sell your two shares for $150 each ($300 total), pay back the $100 loan, and end up with $200 net.

> and if there are (or not) any mild-leverage alternatives without liquidation

The only way to do this is to borrow at a lower ratio. ie, $100 of your own cash, then borrow $20 to buy 0.2 shares. The $100 share price would have to drop to ~$17 before liquidation occurs.

For brokers to remain solvent, liquidation must occur if the value of the asset drops below the value of the loan.

My wife and I have lived in SF for over a decade and I go to the Fitness SF next door to this building at least twice a week these days. We can all play this game where we try to pretend that this area is really nice to people not from here.

But what that guy said was "the street scene is very bad in that part of SF." and he's dead right.

I love this city, but misleading people on the Internet is not right. Tell them the truth. I've lived here as long as I have because I think the benefits outweigh the pains. But not because there are no pains.
I'm a big fan of Tailscale but it's unfortunate that it's proprietary, so it's really nice to see an open source alternative. The commercial pricing also looks very reasonable. Wishing your product much success.

For internet user facing full-text search I would always prefer to use a separate tool and not a SQL database, because

- the fulltext tool, can and should hold only 'active' data

- as it has only active data, data size is usually much much smaller

- as data size is smaller, it better fits in RAM

- as data size is smaller, it can be probably run on poorer HW the full ACID db

- as the indexed data are mostly read-only, the VM where it runs can be relatively easily cloned (never seen a corruption till now)

- as FTS tools are usually schema-less, there is no outage during schema changes (compared to doing changes in ACID db)

- as the indexed data are mostly read-only, the can be easily backup-ed

- as the backups are smaller, restoring a backup can be very fast

- and there is no such thing as database upgrade outage, you just spin a new version, feed it with new data and than change the backends

- functionality and extensibility

There is probably more, but if one doesn't needs to do a fulltext search on whole database (and you usually don't), than its IMHO better to use separate tool, that doesn't comes with all the ACID constraints.
Probably only downside is that you need to format data for the FTS and index them, but if you want run a serious full-text search, you will have to take almost the same steps in the database.

On a 15y old side project, I use SOLR for full-text search, serving 20-30k/request per day on a cheap VM, and PostgreSQL is used as primary data source.
The PostgreSQL has had several longer outages - during major upgrades, because of disk corruption, because of failed schema migrations, because of 'problems' between the chair and keyboard etc...
During that outages the full-text search always worked - it didn't had most recent data, but most users probably never noticed.
Is this similar in spirit to VTK? (An API I've not always found super intuitive so interested in alternatives.)

Or is this better thought of as a powerful matplotlib alternative?
