While I don't disagree, it still seems rather crass to immediately fire people for it. Surely you'd first tell people to knock it off before firing them?

Of course that sort of assumes that the firing wasn't the end goal.
This is highly interesting to me because I was on the PostgreSQL bandwagon way before it was cool(mostly because I’m a BSD/MIT license fanatic).

I assume you’re referring to AlphaZero and Leela Chess Zero.

AlphaZero was the successor to AlphaGo. AZ was notable because unlike AG, it used zero human games to learn to play: it just played games against itself. Typically in “supervised” machine learning you take human data and train a model to imitate it. AZ used zero human data to learn.

Leela Chess Zero started out as an open source copy of AZ but it’s probably better than AZ now.
Zero doesn't mean zero shot learning. It was coined by Deepmind for AlphaGo Zero where they used zero human input into the training data. It was trained entirely by playing against itself.

That doesn't say much though.

If being burried alive was rare and having a being-burried-alive-safety-bell was rare. A combination would have been rare rare.

I guess rodents could leave scratch marks that would look like nails, too.
In practice this is a compiler bug, though, and is treated as such, and not a soundness hole in the abstract design of the type system.

There has also not been a single case of this bug being triggered in the wild by accident.
And yet every time I run an autoconf script I watch as it checks the bits in a byte and saves the output in config.h as though anyone planned to act on it.
Interesting! What are some unique features not typically found in other apps? (don't say generative fill lol)

Creating a specification for minimum viable features of a raster editor able to replace Photoshop would be fantastic.

Could serve as a roadmap for alternatives and for bragging rights: "Painter2900: implements 99% of the Rasterflames Liberation Standard, and more!".
my comment (and indeed in this entire comment chain) is within the context of memory safety. This should have been clear because of the focus on unsafe, which, compared to normal Rust, relaxes only memory safety.

Obviously if you want to get formal guarantees beyond that property, you have to reason about safe code also.

(Also, the comparison in this entire chain is against C, and the latter is better than Rust in this regard… how?)
Look, this is a totally cool and fun approach to projects, always, and it's a totally cool life philosophy in your twenties. I wouldn't recommend it as a life philosophy for your thirties and beyond, and I suspect most people of that age know why.
Thank you, I must have read over it.
Of course I still care :) Thank you for sharing this technique, I will try it out.
pg15 is not ancient at all and it has been a part of latest debian hence I don't see an issue. Same with python or any other dependency. You rarely need the newest shiny these days and being within the support window is fine
Some people really like the math of quantum mechanics for its own sake.

(See also how (much of) the math for General Relatively was developed without any application in mind.)
I actually think that it's much deeper of a problem than the lack of a geopolitical situation like the Cold War, and instead goes all the way back to Copernicus and Darwin. While these discoveries (that humans aren't the center of the universe and weren't created in a supreme being's image, but are evolved from animals) were good from a scientific truth perspective, I think they had a negative malaise effect on human psychology – if only because the previous narratives were thrown out without a sufficiently meaningful one to replace it. And so yeah, you just get a variety of localized, incoherent narratives arising in this vacuum of meaning.

The answer that is really needed IMO is a way of squaring contemporary scientific knowledge with a story that still centers humanity in the universe and offers a better worldview than "you're a primate lost in space."

For one narrow definition of documentation, yes.

I'm pretty sure our end-users would get no value out of reading the unit tests in the code of the application they are using.
Reading is not the problem. What you don't seem to understand is that you repeatedly writing something does not actually make it true.

In fact, given your record here, you repeatedly writing something is a pretty good indicator of it being false.

And this claim of yours remains absurdly false, no matter how often you repeat it.

You point to the past, which is completely irrelevant, and you point to single plants, which is also completely irrelevant, as the fleet is pretty large. The total and current capacity factor for nuclear power in the US is in the 90s.

Doesn't get much simpler than that.

And you've yet to produce an electricity source with a higher capacity factor.

Because you can't.

Because your claim is simply not true.

And will remain untrue no matter how often you repeat it or how many other irrelevant stats you pull.

Capacity. Factor. 90s.
I was born in 76, exactly 10 years after my brother.

As a result I inherited a lot of his toys when he grew out of them, such as his car collection (which wasn't all that huge). I bought my own ones in the early '80s and comparing them they weren't even close in quality.

The build quality of the older cars were far superior. The metal was thicker and stronger and any moving elements like the occasional opening door would last a lot longer. Sometimes you'd get a new car that could compete in a distance race down a sloped track, but in general their build quality felt very random.

There was especially one from my brother that was my favourite, I think it was a '76 Chevrolet Corvette in orange. It was extremely solid and ran very well, unfortunately at some point I tried to paint it and that damaged the axles, after which it was never the same.
Of course all software ultimately runs on hardware, which has things like registers and hidden internal state which affect how that hardware accesses or writes to physical memory and all sorts of other "unsafe" things.

In a more practical sense, all software, even Python programs, ultimately call C functions that are unsafe.

It's like that saying "all abstractions are wrong, some are useful".

> what does seeing “written in rust” as a suffix make you think about a project’s qualities before you ever read the code

By itself, that tells me very little about a project. Same thing if I see a project written in Python or Go, which are nominally memory safe programming languages.
I perceive a statistically significant likelihood that software written in these languages will not segfault on me, but it's no guarantee.
If I see two programs with the same functionality, where one is written in Python and another one in Rust, I also have some expectation that the one written in Rust will be more performant.

But you cannot draw general conclusions from that piece of information alone.

However, as a programmer, Rust is a tool that makes it easier for me to write code that will not segfault or cause data races.
Yex, they adapted over millenia. I don't see what relevance this is to this particular issue though.
Aren't those rules related to software shipped in hardware?

I’ve found rejecting the tendency to reduce people to narratives so incredibly important with our children.

This comment was submitted on a PineTab 2 that's kind of configured as a desktop layout, (with external keyboard and mouse), so that counts, right?

If you want a review: it's fine if your goal is to just experiment with an ARM machine or a Linux tablet, but GUI apps are pretty slow. If you switch to a console VT it's fine. I haven't tried any benchmarks but I don't imagine they'll get a very good score at all.
I appreciate your detailed response, so thank you for taking your time to explain.

First, I would like to point you to this page: https://savaos.com/about - I don't know if you've seen it already, but it explains in brief what we want to achieve/envision. Should explain some of your "what the hell is this" questions :) And as you can see, it's a very ambitious goal.

I agree with a lot of your arguments. To be honest, the most challenging part so far has been to try to explain what we're doing. "What would be the right MVP?", "How can we evaluate such a project?", "Is something like this even feasible?".. these kinds of questions constantly popped up in our heads. My point is, we had to start somewhere.

We don't know if this is the right direction yet, but so far we've seen some interest and already received valuable feedback. The best use-case right now is practically link & tab management. Definitely overkill for just that, but for "non-tech" people, it does feels familiar.

I'm not a UX designer, I tried my best with the design and I've personally worked on a lot of accessibility features before (in terms of code). It's not there yet I get that, but it will.

Regarding the comments, on the contrary, I don't see much of negativity here. Just people expressing their gut feeling, but I like it a lot. Much better then hearing the typical non-sense "congrats" & "all the best" kind of feedback. This is what opens my mind the most to make crucial decisions for the next steps.

By the way, I did mention that it's an MVP. In my opinion all MVPs are toys and demos of "what can become". Perhaps I'm too good of a designer for not being an actual designer, and it looks too good? I'll take that as a compliment.
Oh yeah. I had a shift one day when the "I" realised the narrative it has been living on was a bunch of cherry picked crap of emotions and memories.

Till then I used to do things that fit the narrative. A voice in head that criticises when it deviates.

Now I am free to do more things that don't fit the narrative.

It's brings much more freedom. But with narrative going away you also need to find a good replacement for the existential questions which will soon starts knocking down the door.
If you find pollution is not a challenge, try a deathworld run. If you can already beat a normal deathworld - turn down trees/moisture, turn up pollution diffusion ratio; then you can add rampant, armored biters, bob's enemies, etc. I recommend the infinite ore patches mod as well, you will be defending the starter patch for a veeery long time.

My favourite recent challenge was "New Game +", you start with all tech (perhaps except damage upgrades) unlocked, but biters also start at 1.0 evolution. You technically don't need any science to launch a rocket, but you still have to figure out how to build a mall (and enough defences) before triggering a single attack.

Factorio is an excellent tower defense game!

> YES! I don't know how else to say this. Giving equal rights which would effectively double the voting base with people who fundamentally oppose many things you think are important is terrifying. Again, if you were LGBTQ in Israel, and I told you we're bringing in 100% more voters who mostly think homosexuality is a sin and could now vote to make it illegal, wouldn't you think it's a bad idea?

Eww don't pinkwash genocide. Those beepers didn't discriminate between LGBTQ+ targets and neither did the mass starvation campaign (https://www.btselem.org/publications/202404_manufacturing_fa...).

It's wild to imply Israelis are great to the gay community. It's clear Israel is fine with discrimination.

> Forty-eight percent of Israeli Jews said they agreed with the statement that Arabs should be expelled or transferred from Israel, where they make up 19 percent of the population of 8.4 million.

> In addition, about 8 in 10 Arabs complained of heavy discrimination in Israeli society against Muslims, the largest religious minority, while 79 percent of Jews questioned said Jewish citizens deserved preferential treatment.

https://www.reuters.com/article/world/about-half-of-israeli-...

And don't forget that I cited to you how Israel did eugenics on the Ethiopian Jewish community until at least 2013.

> And that's the best case scenario. The worst case scenario is that the the new state acts like every other state that has a Jewish minority, and eventually decides to kill the Jews. Made even more likely given the years of animosity between the two peoples.

That is just mass hysteria. There are many diaspora Jews who feel safe where they currently live and acting like all Jews think Israel is the only safe place for them is actual antisemitism. Jews are not a monolith.

> You are again and again asking if it's really so bad to do something that 99% of people, including almost all peace activists, say will end in the destruction of the Jews in Israel

A ceasefire? I just told you hours ago that the first thing I really care about is a ceasefire.
This is how I see it: you can work on mathematics from two different levels. There is more direct level, which is the formal system, and there is more indirect level which are the intuitions behind the formal system.

If you look at new theories (let's say you are starting to study topology, or group theory) they start from some definitions/axioms that seem to come from "nowhere", but they are in fact a product of working and perfectioning a language for the intuitions that we have in mind. Once we set for the correct descriptions, then there are a lot of consequences and new results that come from interaction almost entirely with the formal system.

The interactions with the formal system is the path of least resistance.

The power of mathematics is that once you figure out a correct formalization of the intuitions, using just the formal system allows you to get a lot of information. That is why sometimes people identify mathematics with just the formal system.

Two of those services are provided by Automattic, and one of the others (Blue Host) has previous commercial agreements with them.

They're leveraging their control over the platform (and consequently their control over 40% of the websites on the internet, by their own admission) to push away the competition.

Why do you think the space is stalled? There are quite a few apps in that space. https://github.com/juanmc2005/diart
I was just wondering if pg_parquet could be combined with pg_azure_storage to write Parquet files to Azure Storage.

I had problems with pg_azure_storage in the past, because the roles pg_read_server_files and pg_write_server_files are unassignable on Azure PostgreSQL databases which makes the use of `COPY {FROM,TO}` impossible.
If the app is not notarized by Apple, the user will get a warning message after opening .dmg file saying that "<APP_NAME> not opened: Apple could not verify <APP_NAME> is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy". And the user needs to close this popup and open a .dmg file again and then it's possible to install the app. It's a poor UX and most of the normal users will not install the app.

MySQL vs. PostgreSQL - Jepsen Analyses

https://jepsen.io/analyses/mysql-8.0.34 ( MySQL 8.0.34 2023-12-19 )

HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38695750

"MySQL is a popular relational database. We revisit Kleppmann’s 2014 Hermitage and confirm that MySQL’s Repeatable Read still allows G2-item, G-single, and lost update. Using our transaction consistency checker Elle, we show that MySQL Repeatable Read also violates internal consistency. Furthermore, it violates Monotonic Atomic View: transactions can observe some of another transaction’s effects, then later fail to observe other effects of that same transaction. We demonstrate violations of ANSI SQL’s requirements for Repeatable Read. We believe MySQL Repeatable Read is somewhat stronger than Read Committed. As a lagniappe, we show that AWS RDS MySQL clusters routinely violate Serializability."

https://jepsen.io/analyses/postgresql-12.3 ( PostgreSQL 12.3 2020-06-12 )

HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23498781

"PostgreSQL is a widely-known relational database system. We evaluated PostgreSQL using Jepsen’s new transactional isolation checker Elle, and found that transactions executed with serializable isolation on a single PostgreSQL instance were not, in fact, serializable. Under normal operation, transactions could occasionally exhibit G2-item: an anomaly involving a set of transactions which (roughly speaking) mutually fail to observe each other’s writes. In addition, we found frequent instances of G2-item under PostgreSQL “repeatable read”, which is explicitly proscribed by commonly-cited formalizations of repeatable read. As previously reported by Martin Kleppmann, this is due to the fact that PostgreSQL “repeatable read” is actually snapshot isolation. This behavior is allowable due to long-discussed ambiguities in the ANSI SQL standard, but could be surprising for users familiar with the literature. A patch for the bug we found in serializability is scheduled for the next minor release, on August 13th, and the presence of G2-item under repeatable read could be readily addressed through documentation."
I don't get the point of that comment, this ruling allows more freedom to innovate by restricting the scope of copyright. Similarly, many of the EU's regulations is about breaking down the barriers to competition that these tech giants put up, which again helps innovation.

In a way you're right, but we should also take their payment schedule into account. They used to pay 15 days after the end of the month.

That means they were at most taking a half of future month for "ponzi buffer". Couldn't be more than that, if we assume they were not accruing debt. Which they most probably did, but for the sake of high-level analysis we could assume they were at zero.

They're now all of a sudden sitting on a July, August, and in most cases good piece of September sales. They basically went from 15 days of "extra ponzi buffer" to 45 day. If we include July, which they also didn't pay - they're now sitting on 75 day of revenue. That's quite the extra money compared with extra buffer they were operating with until recently, depending on how we look - 5 times more.

We should also take into account that MyCommerce margin is between 5 and 10%, depending on order size and how much of currency exchange they take. So their operating expenses should be around that. Even if they lost some big clients and let's say lost half of the sales, their expenses should went from 10% to a 20% of a single month. But they're sitting on full 2.5 months of now, 25 times more than their typical expenses.

Something is way off, that can't be explained with gradual slip into ponzi scheme.

One explanation was that Kaspersky was so big for them, it made 90% of sales. When they left the platform, their operating expenses went from 10% to 100% (using napkin math, we're only guessing anyway).

However, since they had a huge layoff in July I assume they're adjusting their expenses to the loss of such a big client. Layoff in US was without severance, based on reports. Since they continued collecting money from other vendors, and not paying them, and considering that they accumulated multiple months of full revenue compared to the usual 5-10% of a single month they should still have MUCH more money at hand.

It's very likely that they're transferring that money to another entity. Perhaps paying off a big creditor, which might be legal, but they intentionally picked to pay off one single creditor with big legal team instead of hundreds (thousands?) small defenseless vendors. And they lied to these small vendors to make them stay a bit more and siphon some more money for that other party.

In essence, they told us to stay with them and bring them more sales which at that point they were already planning to send to another party. This very much looks like a fraud and theft.
I don't trust 1PW anymore. After they killed their product with their forced cloud storage with 8, they died. Not trustworthy behavior from anyone in that space.

The other brands were before my time, but my brother who was born in 1966 had a few. Other makers often made bigger cars, I'm guessing around 1:24 scale or so. Those ones were extremely strong and could withstand a lot of damage.
