If Beirut and Tehran get involved in the ongoing war (rather massacre) in Gaza, they will be fools as they will be walking into a well-laid (but short-sighted) trap laid by Netanyahu and his religious fundamentalist buddies to deliberately enlarge the conflict.

Right-wing religious fundamentalists like the current Netanyahu lead government in Israel thrive by creating hatred and dehumanising their perceived "enemies" to create an us vs them narrative to stay in political power. The terrorist strike and massacre in Israel was a blessing to the unpopular Netanyahu and his ilk, who were actually about to lose power in Israel. The war in gaza, and now the subsequent plan to enlarge the conflict to involve the other "enemies" of Israel is just a blatant power grab by the right-wing religious fundamentalists in Israel, and an attempt to fulfil their goals of creating a "Greater Israel".

Netanyahu's "grand plans" are however myopic and only guarantees misery in the region. While the US may support Israel to not lose such a war, there is no guarantee that Israel will win or come out better without a very high price- Russia has already started reinforcing Iraninan military with weapons as the sudden increase in Russian cargo flights to Iran suggests (and Russian media has reported). Turkey has publicly announced that if Israel widens the conflict, it will militarily commit itself to the Palestinian cause (one wonders how NATO will react to another NATO member fighting an American ally, and possibly even the Americans!). Despite the Hezbollahs being labelled as terrorists, they are a well organised military force armed with enough decent weapons to offer not only real resistance but also have offensive capabilities.

The best thing Israel can do is to pause the war, hold elections, and get rid of Netanyahu and the religious fundamentalists. Only the saner minds in Israel can prevent the region from getting ensnared into a vicious cycle of hate and misery for the next decade or two.
Coping with long-term crises (2020)
This is not how price negotiations work.
A procedure I’ve been impressed with is that as soon as you disclose an allergy, the manager will come over with the massive allergen booklet, help take your order and then go and feed that back to the kitchen straight away.

Of course it gets to a point of diminishing returns where you can only rule out so much if the risk but all it should take is proper labelling of ingredients in dishes and training to make sure these processes are followed.

As the other commenter noted, only dishes for those with an allergen need to be prepared separately
Honestly, true. But possibly not in the way people imagine

People see the difference in wages, but what they miss is a) the amount of fees and extra expenses they have to pay that escape cost of living calculations, b) the "natural" lifestyle inflation that comes with living in the US (maybe summed up by the word consumerism), c) some size/low density related inefficiencies and d) things like educational costs

Now, yes Europe makes it hard on itself a lot by being dumb (see HS2 costs soaring off or the failed German energy policy - not against renewable but their fee structure is stupid)

That's true, but.. those companies trend towards HR throwing unqualified candidates towards the interviewers, which effects culture by forcing "gotta prove you aren't an idiot or faker!" style interviewing, and hence the people you hire tend to be the the people willing to jump through those silly hoops.

There is a technical difference in logic between if and iff.

And “P if Q” would be better written “if Q then P” for clarity’s sake.

So yeah if covers the same ground as iff, but iff includes the exclusion of everything else that isn’t Q leading to P.
It most certainly wouldn’t. Would be a very tight window, and it’d be going against the likes of BEA and soon to be killed by open source solutions. The best bet was to vertically integrate with a large hardware manufacturer that’d bundle their OS. WebObjects was, however, doomed anyway.

> It's a shitty question born out of the company trying to screw candidates

Or a startup hiring for a job title they’ve never hired for before and they literally don’t know what the market rate is?

We just hired our first SRE. We knew what we wanted for in the role but had no idea how to price it. What are we supposed to do other than ask candidates what their salary expectations are? There’s no bible saying what “market rate” is for every given role.

You’re selling your services to an employer. It’s the candidate’s responsibility to know their worth and coherently communicate their worth to prospective employers. Just my opinion.

He's far more likely to have been a political revolutionary. By the time of his death, academia had excluded him about as much as was possible.

1. Family is the most important “thing” in the world.

2. Things are not important at all. People are. Relationships are. Intentions and actions are.

3. Money matters. If you’re a professional - the smartest thing to do is optimize your career for the income, while doing what you can and love doing best.

Everything else (titles, satisfaction, feeling of importance, carbon footprint reduction or whatever is that you think important) follows the money eventually.

4. Decent people are usually excellent colleagues, good bosses, great employees. But not vice versa.

5. There are no simple answers to complex questions. But there are more and less correct answers. Not everything is just a matter of opinion (i.e. relativism doesn’t work).

6. Popular people are almost never best experts in their fields. Because they are busy being popular while true experts are busy being experts.

For example Jordan Peterson is far from being the best clinical psychologist.
Or Richard Dawkins who is amazingly incompetent about religions. Same goes for most “youtube programmers” etc.

Therefore real wisdom is never in podcasts, but rather in unpopular or time proven books.

7. Crowd is always dumber than individual people in it.
> For example, my wife was given two weeks off from her job after having my son. The state we lived in only required maternity leave to be implemented at companies having more than 50 employees. Oh, and those two weeks were unpaid.

Man this is fucking terrible. Despite what someone’s ideas about work might be, this is just not right unless you put work above literally everything else.
> This is exactly a great point. When data size goes to a billion rows, Postgres is tough. MongoDB just works without issue.

Personally, I've not seen any application that seriously needs a billion rows in a single table. (except at truly massive scale, but then you're not using Mongo)

The real solution is implementing archiving to a file store like S3 and/or ship it off to a data warehouse. You don't need billions of rows in a `record_history`/`user_audit` table going back 5 years in your production database. Nobody queries the data.
We employ a knowledge graph at Deft (https://shopdeft.com) to enable searches over ~1M products, amounting to about 1B triples. Because of the complexity of the queries involved, the expressiveness of our data model — supporting n-ary/reified relations, negation, disjunction, linguistic vagueness, etc. — and our real-time latency targets, we built a graph DB engine "from scratch" (certain components are of course from open-source projects). Even RedisGraph wasn't fast enough for the purpose; ours (Deftgraph) is 700x faster on our queries thanks to some SOTA optimizations from various recent papers. You'll notice on our site that the overall search latency is generally acceptable but not great; the vast proportion of that latency comes from 1) LLMs and 2) a less-optimized other graph DB, Datomic, that we still store some of our data in for legacy reasons.

LLMs are great, but knowledge graphs are IMO indispensable to tame their shortcomings.
2 and 3 are an amusing combo
I don't think there's malicious intent here because Organic Maps is a very small app compared to other "map apps", Google isn't afraid of them. Incompetence? Perhaps. Also, every store makes mistakes from time to time.

On top of this, the Play Store is just one of the few stores you can have on Android. Organic Maps itself can be installed via F-Droid, Huawei's store, Aptoide, etc, not to mention that you can download the apk from their site/Github and install it.

I'd agree with you if this was about Google Search or something like that, but Android apps? I don't see any monopoly there.

They do a phenomenal job of guessing the next word, and our language is redundant enough that that alone, carried out recursively, can produce quite interesting results. But reasoning? I'm certain everybody has gotten in this pattern, because it happens on pretty much anything where the LLM doesn't answer right on the first shot:

---

LLM: The answer is A.

Me: That's wrong. Try again.

LLM: Oh I'm sorry, you're completely right. The answer is B.

Me: That's wrong. Try again.

LLM: Oh I'm sorry, you're completely right. The answer is A.

Me: Time to short NVDA.

LLM: As an AI language learning model without real-time market data or the ability to predict future stock movements, I can't advise on whether it's an appropriate time to short NVIDIA or any other stock.

Maybe not exactly the same, its a server that you can store documents and then retrieve their ID using a search string.
As they said in their comment, FMLA only kicks in for employers with more than 50 employees(technically, 50 employees within a 75 mile radius). States can implement their own laws to extend maternity leave to all employers, but most don't.
Whenever you poke people about LLMs solving decidable/computable problems, they get defensive and claim that they are not good for that. You are supposed to generate code that solves the decidable problem, heavily implying that retrieval, approximation and translation are the only true capabilities of LLMs.
My god, what a horrible life.

Will the need to build newer more advanced (and expensive) fabs continue forever? Will it ever get to the point where there's 'enough' transistors to not need to build more chips, but rather keep pumping out existing models?

You need to compare like for like. If you're talking about homes in Kanata, then you need to look at homes the same distance in the East Bay where you can buy for under $1M as well.

Definitely. Also, lesser known, but his earlier book The Road To Excellence: The Acquisition of Expert Performance in the Arts and Sciences, Sports, and Games.

The Road to Excellence reads almost like a book club among researchers who read Bloom's Developing Talent in Young People and Ericsson's numerous papers on deliberate practice. Each chapter is from a different researcher or group, often with different views. (I was initially a bit put off by the lack of cohesiveness, but in hindsight, I like the resulting feel of authenticity: things get messy at the edge of human knowledge.)

And for anyone who hasn't read Developing Talent in Young People yet, I would highly recommend. The main idea is that Bloom studied the training backgrounds of 120 world-class talented individuals across 6 talent domains: piano, sculpting, swimming, tennis, math, & neurology, and what he discovered was that talent development occurs through a similar general process, no matter what talent domain. In other words, there is a "formula" for developing talent -- though executing it is a lot harder than simply understanding it.

Ruthenium isotopes show the Chicxulub impactor was a carbonaceous-type asteroid
Hey, it's pretty simple. I use a shortcut on my iPhone that gets the contents of different firebase URLs when I open and when I close TikTok. I have a function on firebase that processes those URL visits, setting the values of a status node (isScrolling, platform, and a timestamp) and logging each request. Then each change to the firebase updates any clients loaded from https://stuckinthescroll.com. The time elapsed is counted up on page load from the log entries.

It's turned out to be quite robust so far. The only quirks happen when: 1) I forget to close TikTok before turning off the screen on my phone (which incorrectly leaves a log entry that doesn't get closed until the next entry), and 2) if I go into picture-in-picture mode (which incorrectly--IMO--triggers the app closed shortcut). For now I'm avoiding PiP, so that's not a big deal. As for unclosed log entries, I've gotten good about closing the app before turning off the screen, but there's a few entries in the data from before I trained myself (those are adding a small bit of slop to the total).
Note to author, you don't need 6+ clumsy paragraphs explaining your Ohm's Law analogy. You can just explain you're using an analogy in a single sentence.

> For example, you don't soft-delete a customer row, you "deactivate" a customer

I'm all for naming things more precise, but functionally speaking at that point it's really just semantics, you still end up with some DB column acting as a flag, and from then on you need to take it into account in every single query that touches that table in the whole app. Since most modern ORMs know how to handle soft-delete internally, it's far easier to just stick to the defaults and use `deleted_at` if you really need a way to keep the records around. And you often need, for the referential integrity of the historical data.
I had the same question as your first sentence.

I'm not sure I understand your second sentence, as I don't follow "entanglement news." Is entanglement currently being seen as taking part in everything, everywhere? Specifically in brain processes?

I'm intrigued by your third sentence.

I look forward to more sentences.

All of this is ridiculous and difficult to pin down. If they are not ware of the problems themselves all they can do is report symptoms, then you have to work backwards and start guessing. If they don't want you to know about some details they are going to lie to the candidate, either on purpose or subconsciously. Often, the first few moments of silence contain the real answer.

The whole dynamic of employment is deeply flawed. Employees should have contracts. Without them people can say and do whatever they want after the honeymoon. Everything else in business requires a contract, except for employment so they can do whatever they please with the employee. An abusive relationship from the start.

Absolutely this. The author seems blind to Postgres shortcomings.

For example, the author notes MySQL has "features locked behind their enterprise editions." That is true for some features in MySQL, yes. But the same thing is true in Postgres for DDL logical replication and other HA-related features, which are only in EDB Postgres -- and yet those are features MySQL has had in open source for over two decades.
As an aside, I feel the analogy in the introduction undersells Ohm’s law. This is not a commonly understood (or explained) point below the college physics level, but it makes the already overstretched statement that “[t]he best ideal models are simple” almost painful: as far as linear laws go, Ohm’s law is a miracle. Sure, there are linear approximations to almost everything, but with a few exceptions they fall apart the moment you look them funny, especially the bulk ones (like Ohm’s law instead of like the diffusion equation). In short, you’re much more likely to encounter linear drag than Ohm’s law.

The best ideal models are simple. Unfortunately for ideal models, more often than not, data says no[1].

Elastic Search and its Amazon fork Opensearch perhaps?
60x60x60 is 60 hours, not 1 hour. 1 hour is 3600 seconds.
therefore 1 million queries per hour equal ~280 queries per second.
There isn't really a good translation, the concept doesn't really exist in other countries. They have aspects of unions, co-ops, governemental and political organisations. In the past, they had their own legal status. Today, the EU forced them to become real corporations, and e.g. had them split of the travel aspects from the health insurance aspects.
> Getting additional information about IP should be limited to law enforcement gov organizations (crime fighting).

How would that work in practice? Wouldn't companies like Google and Facebook still have so much user data as to effectively know everything they need about user IPs?

> Users should build they reputation on internet. If someone is asshole, then ok, expect to be banned on most places. Right now people do NOT care, because they are quite anonymous.

Combined with legal restrictions on IPs, how would this work? We would need some central authority for universal identity. If we look to the government there as well they'd have an easy path to censor whomever they want online.
They could at least be aware of real time. A default vblank interrupt handler that increments a 16-bit counter would be incredibly useful.
In most EU countries it is mandatory minimum to give 4 paid weeks off per year, otherwise the company is breaking the law. And maternity leave obviously is almost a year, paid, not 2 weeks unpaid. I find it hard to justify living in a place that cares so little about its people. I get its your home country, but I mean, if your home country is actively hostile towards you, why stay?
