That's fair. I wish EVERY service was clear about this tbh.
Ex-military guys give the same advice of keeping both eyes open. It doesn't seem to apply to bullseye shooting, though.
Very fair points. For general purpose ASTs from Python your design should be more efficient while essentially keeping the existing interface.

When I referenced numpy, I was thinking of a query layer which could push traversal into the extension as well. Something that could have given me “.select(ast.Import).all()”, which in my head is kind of like doing a filtered sum in numpy.

Very cool to get your thoughts on this, thanks for making an account :)
Battle of VectorDB: Benchmark on Pinecone and MyScale
My litmus test for what sources to believe has narrowed to ones which declare both good and bad actions by any parties.

Nobody does things correctly all the time, so if I read an article that lauds one side and has crickets as to their failings... it's clear the author's intent was spin. In which case, why would I trust what they say?

It's statistically unlikely that any one side has a monopoly on righteousness and good ideas.

Cops can abuse surveillance authorities and protestors can be violent. There's no requirement that only one party does bad things.
Andrew Camarata's channel[0], is a bit like Bjoernstroem's, probably less engineering focused, but lots of operating heavy equipment, construction, blasting, misc electrical work and other odd jobs.

No snark, minimal editing and narration.

Looks like you need to be employed in certain sectors, or have your company hook you up. Sounds almost like a credit union.
I don’t even think it’s that. Being poor growing up is something you take into adulthood and your decisions are not about not spending the money. You simply don’t even consider it.
I can help fill in the blanks at least on my own anecdotal experience. What are the missing gaps you're interested in?
Honestly, who cares at this point? Obviously the intent of the clean air act was to reduce air pollution which obviously includes regulating greenhouse gas emissions. I'm tired of playing the "Well technically..." game while the planet is actively dying.
Is it just me, or should we be way more horrified by the fact that the US dropped atomic bombs on civilians? It would be like Russia dropping two bombs in Kyiv today, which is unthinkable, but it feels the US bombing of Japan is kind of shrugged off.
The police probably already have such a list.
Does it have to be one or the other? Can you contract the work to an agency, in effect leasing developers without having to bring them in house?

I worry that without a culture to sustain and nurture a software team over time, whatever you build this year will become nightmarish tech debt a few years later. Dev turnover might be high due to limited advancement potential / lack of resume building opportunities / not enough sexy problems to work on. Institutional memory between generations of devs might be hard to maintain and your totally custom software might get harder and harder to work on and use as the years to by. It doesn't seem like a great way to run an essential part of your business.

Can you switch to a more responsive vendor but then find an agency to do the day to day dev work and add custom code as needed?

I've spent much of my career working in tech roles for non tech companies, and I've seen a lot of bespoke custom garbage that's really hard to work on. It ends up being more forensic than engineering work, with a lot more reverse engineering and landmine avoidance than new feature development or UI improvements. I try to steer these types of businesses into commercial off the shelf software whenever possible, but maybe building custom webhooks and such into them.

It's a lot easier to have a solid base built and maintained by a good vendor, with some small snippets of modular code (webhooks, plugins, extensions, etc.) added on top. No one feature is tied into everything else, so less experienced devs can fix or replace it modularly without having to reverse engineer your entire custom stack.
My apologies, I should have said written by Olga Khazan, drawing extensively upon the works of marketing professor Scott Rick and marketing professor Abigail Sussman.

This seems more an error of attribution than flat out wrong, but sure, take a performative extreme by all means.
Spread out over some drop area that's still just a nuisance. Even falling on one area chances of loss of life are minimal, since due to the gradient of gravity accelerating the top end of the wire the least. It should experience way too much drag to have some sort of whip effect on the ground rather than entering a stable configuration before arrival. You'll see it more-or-less neatly arriving in the right order. The first few grams of material landing on your house is maybe a good warning to get out of the way before the remaining 20 tons are done arriving in a few days.

If you have some thin wire design you could also consider just spooling it up as it drops, either at the base or with portable infrastructure you'll have plenty of time to deploy. If you do that you're just dealing with grams of material/second that you can deal with piecewise. Do this faster than terminal velocity and it'll land exactly where you want it to.

That part is not exactly an engineering challenge if you consider what other other stuff humanity likes to get up to with kilometers of much heavier cables and chains.
> How do you square a legislative failure to be specific with Gorsuch lambasting the length of most modern laws?

Specificity plus brevity plus non-delegation add up to a limit on the load of law that we are subjected to. It's the bias toward freedom of individual action of classical liberalism. You are entirely correct that this kind of limitation would be crippling to a software project. Gorsuch just doesn't think that the state should have that degree of detailed control.
I think you misread the text of the guidelines.
Can we please just refer to the license by name ("Functional Source License", or just "FSL"), rather than acknowledging and adopting this new strange (BS) "Fair Source" terminology when talking about licenses? "Source-available" is already recognized and applicable if you feel a need to taxonomize the license.

There is the "Fair Source" industry lobby group closely associated to the license and I suspect the confusable naming may be intentional here, both coming from the same parties.
Something I've wondered about is why CPUs have separate scalar and vector ALUs. Would it be possible to simply have 16x scalar ALUs that can be used either individually or ganged together in groups of 4, 8, or 16 to execute the various vector instructions?

The time behind bars seems wrong on many levels but I'm having a hard time understanding/sympathising the guy's position beyond the "contempt of court is a poor fit for assigning punishment for this kind of thing and you can't just keep someone locked up on suspicion they did something wrong you have to use a real pre-existing law and prove it".

Losing your entire fortune isn't impossible by any means, even coincidentally right when your wife announces she wants a divorce, but you'd think he'd have a more forthright explanation for why there is no record (person, investment contact, business record on the other side, etc) to point to anywhere for his 2.5 million dollar exchange. The only reasons I can think to not are ones that also explain why he'd rather take contempt of court charge than say what happened (illegal investments, purposefully losing the money, hiding the money, trying to do one of these things and being conned). For that reason I definitely feel the guy shouldn't have been jailed but I don't really feel bad for the guy as in he got screwed by bad luck or something.
Nothing is being saved? Well from the store manager’s perspective, the only time being wasted now belongs to the customers, and isn’t any of his or his budget’s concern.
If companies are already willing to obscure chat logs, what's to say they won't begin manufacturing artificial logs (or editing existing logs) under this kind of pressure?
I expect we will soon start to see blanket bans on fair use licenses also. At least the functional software license referenced here. There is just too much great area and potential legal risk.
> What is a store card in that case, and how does it differ from credit card (other than, I assume, the place you apply)?

It's not a credit card, debit card, or any other kind of payment card. It's not even, like, a COSTCO membership card.

It's a tracking card that is used by the store to track your purchases in exchange for a small discount on some items if you swipe it at checkout.

I teach drawing and my students are required to measure alignment of objects using their pencil as a straight edge whilst looking through one eye. Some students have trouble with this and have to place one hand over there non dominant eye.

Since I lost my left eye I have no trouble looking through only one eye. However, I have acquired plenty of troubles with balance.
The card check at entrance and “club” concept serves another purpose: it deters random people from going to Costco to steal or cause problems. Retail theft is a major problem for most stores these days, unfortunately.
My source, I know an engineer that works on them.

First of all they are medical devices, some people can't safely sleep without them, and those people might be unconscious, in surgery, and/or heavily medicated. So that means audits, special testing requirements, etc.

Next medical requirements are quite varied, some are just "assist", some are constant velocity but variable pressure, others are constant pressure and variable velocity, some control breaths per minute, and other setting control total volume. Various health problems, surgery recovery, etc have different requirements. There can be temperature and humidity requirements as well.

So you need a pretty healthy fan to handle all the static and dynamic pressure requirements that are sometimes constant RPM or variable.

Of course all the above need accurate sensors, failures could hurt someone's lungs. Good sensors require laminar flows. Laminar flows get harder with a wide range of pressures, speeds, and volumes.

So it ends up quite a bit more than "a fan that blows a low pressure stream".
> should we be way more horrified by the fact that the US dropped atomic bombs on civilians?

Not really.

Strategic bombing, as a concept, was about killing civilians. The idea that you should try not to kill civilians in war was still an evolving concept around WWII, in part because precision munitions and industrial warmaking were in their infancy and toddlerhood, respectively.
Nah, I'm good. Thanks.
Seems reasonable to me. The department proved they would abuse any such system. The fact they even thought to build it is damning.
Am I the only one that hates shopping at Costco? I'm 5 seconds away from cancelling it and joining the evil sam Walton empire because they have curbside pick up, scan and go, and store lay outs that rarely change.

Their stores are so damn frustrating and I hate spending whole afternoons shopping there.
> To prevent soil migration you absolutely need commercial grade geotextile fabric wrapping the gravel and pipe.

The article seems to be quite clear that, for critical applications, one should not use geotextile fabric at all — instead one should use (appropriately selected!) sand.
A couple angles to try:

Lacquer thinner is straight up potent stuff and will remove many things, possibly more than you wanted to, including the paint.

As always, try it somewhere unobtrusive first. Use it in a well ventilated area as well.

If the logo is actually adhered on, heat will go a long ways towards loosening many glues. You can buy plastic razor scrapers that'll help lift the logo once you get the glue softened. I like the Scraperite ones. Get a sampler pack of the blades and do some experimenting to see which works best.

Again, too much heat will take the paint off too. Being in a well-ventilated area will reduce the risk to your lungs if you go too far with the heat.

ETA: if it's powder-coated like the sibling comment suspects, I have no idea where to start. Even painting over could be hard. I tried painting a black powder coated cabinet, and it's flaking off like crazy.
The problem with this argument is it assumes the cost of a failure is the same as the cost of success, which it cannot be: the successful drug has to go through more rounds of testing and approvals than a failure.

In reality many failures are early or first round failures. Not free but a small fraction of the price of getting to market.

So to you example a 90% failure rate may only require a 2x or 3x return on your successes to “break even”.
io_uring is a low level abstraction and is generally a wash against epoll. Really won't make a difference for these kinds of applications, especially not for client nodes.

It was quite common "back in the day" to call what was properly "the Soviet Union" just "Russia". And it wasn't just pure sloppiness, either; the Soviet Union and its predecessor Russian Empire both had Russia as their heart and soul.

Also, everything in this article has been well known for ages. No need to hold back your trust. It's a nice writeup though!
Scanning the card would allow them to monitor the frequency that any particular member goes to the store, and with data analysis they would be able to detect unusual patterns, such as the same member going in multiple times per day/week.
We should be as exactly horrified as we are by the fact the US dropped convential high explosives and incendaries on civilians.

The firebombing of Tokyo had similar death and injury stats to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, and there were another 72 cities in Japan completely destroyed by bombing prior to the atomic weapons being rushed into use before the war ended.

Cities in Europe were also bombed, and later more tonnage was dropped by the US in SE Asia than they dropped in WWII .. many of those mines dropped remain to this day, still killing and maiming children.

One option would be to just have fewer federal laws altogether, and devolve most authority back to the several states. The federal government was only able to assume many of it's current powers due to a series of Supreme Court decisions that allowed Congress to use the Commerce Clause to legislate on issues only loosely connected to interstate commerce. Those precedents can be overturned.

Decentralized, peer-to-peer systems tend to be pretty robust. Even if a few states "fail" the others will be fine.

what lessons? The Allies didn't occupy Germany at all. Germany would have resumed the war if that was what the Versailles conference came up with, and the Allies had no stomach for more war.

This is definitely all just a learning curve on how to do this. None of this is accurate at all.

- IntelliJ knows exactly what version of Java you want to run and develop against.

- Async is also trivial. Just fire off a virtual thread.

- it sounds like your company just picked a bad orm. Any good one is going to escape sql injection when binding variables. You are using binding right? If you to “write it in Java” there is also jOOQ.

The one thing I do think C# is far superior at is packaging and distribution. It’s beyond simple to package a C# application into stand alone binary, whether is be AOT or JIT.
On the contrary, often pharma proponents will gloss over the fact that most “failures” are discovered and canned at a small fraction of the investment of getting a drug to market (when it’s obvious it won’t do what you need or has other challenges).

Actually not in the contrary - you are right. It’s just that the failures often cost a small fraction. They don’t get to 95% testing and approval before “nope, not even close”.

I feel like this is really hard to answer with a simple yes or no. I would say that when things are limited to speech, the police should use restraint in collecting information
When there is criminal activity in the mix I think the police should be allowed to get info on potential subjects or instigators as long as they are following the law strictly.
I appreciate your perspective (:

> By analogy I would not ask the school athletes to gain extra weight just because I was forced to jog a mile.

This is why I don't like your analogy (no offense meant); it approximately correlates extrovert=healthy=strong and introvert=unhealthy=weak. While I don't think athletes should be forced to gain weight, I do imagine it's good for extroverts to have to sit with themselves in quietude a little more than they might otherwise, just like I imagine it's good for introverts to do the opposite. Not in every case of course, but speaking broadly.

So I guess I see it as two equally-valid approaches trying to understand each other better, more than anything.

Maybe what I'm saying is: I agree with you — it's a good idea. But it's opposite is also a good idea, and I wouldn't want it to be one-sided.

Maybe another point of fuzziness is whether "introverted" means "bad at social interactions" or "prefers to avoid social interactions" (and/or "finds social interactions draining"). I tend to see it as the latter, but maybe you mean it as the former?
The atomic bombing of Japan didn't happen today, it happened nearly 80 years ago. Plenty of people consider it a war crime to this day, and plenty of people excuse it, but it's difficult to be horrified by events old enough to barely exist within living memory.
>> However, looking into the much farther future, where we've perfected offworld habitats such as O'Neal cylinders that can hold millions of people

When did I ever say anything about having a hundred billion (or any number) on Earth?

>> we would need to expand as a species,
>Why?

It's human nature to expand. Besides, more people means more art, more science, more innovation, etc. And of course an expanding economy. Plus what if something really bad happens? Having more people scattered around is more insurance against extinction. If something awful happens on Earth, having billions in space means humanity will continue.

>Why would birthrates stay as they are?

Birthrates are continuously falling, in case you haven't noticed. They're not going to stay the same as they are now, they're going to decrease even more.

>Why not a typical population cycle for an constrained with population expanding, peaking, falling somewhat, and then expanding again ?

Why would birthrates increase? Every single piece of data we have has shown that when women have choice and agency and people have access to contraception, birthrates fall. So for birthrates to increase, we either have to make women into slaves (I don't support this), or we need another solution.
Will their existing suits work on SpaceX or will SpaceX-compatible suits need to be flown up? If the latter, I wonder what the odds are of a suit-related problem (e.g. doesn't fit, won't seal, etc).
Both your points are relevant but neither are critical nor crucial for successful training of GPT foundation models.

For the first point, unlike real-time queries of ChatGPT prompts, training does not relied on minimum latency for feedback.

For the second point, our average laptops and PCs nowadays are much better than the highest end graphics workstation in gaming industry AAA studios about 30 years ago circa 1990s.

Last year Google made an interesting memo mentioning that there's no company has the moat on GPT and eventually nobody can compete with open source AI model. Perhaps Google is referring and alluding to the potential of distributed global collaborations for training of foundation models not unlike the SETI@home and similar approaches.

Imagine trying to shame someone by calling them a tightwad because they spent 30k on a car, instead of 60.

And trying to paint living below your means in a negative light.

Here's the problem in buying "luxury" and enjoying life in 2024 - many things are just marketed as luxury, and impose a hefty markup for the seller. They aren't actually that much higher quality than something 1/3 or 1/4 the price.

These kinds of goods embody the worst parts of capitalism - withholding surplus value from the person producing the good in the maximum amount possible and also creating an item that isn't needed, this creating waste and putting pressure on already scarce resources.

Maybe these "tightwads" just don't care about this kind of negative signaling? Of course such a thought doesn't even occur to the author. Instead it's labeling and trying to somehow tie it to immigration.

Note: this doesn't mean complete aversion to spending money. I have no problem with people or myself spending thousands of dollars on their tools of the trade for a hobby they enjoy like woodworking/photography/sports, whatever.
