One big reason why it's large is because it was once the capital of an empire.

Why it grew back from being small due to WW2 up to the 90s is, my educated guess, the geography combined with the standard of living. Right up against the poorer east and rich west. Easy for young people to move from the poorer neighbours, for a short while or even stay. Abundant labour and low corruption [ignoring political ;)] then trades easily with its richer western neighbours.
>Wonder how so? Surely closing small roads don’t make the highway users go faster.

It does if closing the small road frees up space (spectrum) to widen the adjacent highway (4G/5G).

Why fire? Why is that so different from other tools that require significant effort to create?

Some animals use some tools, but mostly just sticks IIRC, with no effort to creating them, beyond breaking one off a tree.
Maybe the criterion 'spend a lot of effort to create a tool' is the criterion, since having the time to spend on tool making requires someone else to get food for you etc. so is that getting towards a civilization?

The title is a bit misleading. They've open sourced the inference harness, but the model weights are of course not open source and in fact need to be requested manually from Deep Mind.
In a sense the simplicity of SLS is a trap: immediately when you need to move past the synchronous lambda invocations via API GW use case (caching, service integrations, step function workflows etc) you need to either fall back to plain CloudFormation or rely on third party plug-ins with possible problems with maintenance, quality and feature-completeness. This makes it a difficult choice to recommend beyond simple use cases.

Unlike the animals in the Zoo, the sight of a wild Asian elephant (males especially) with unaltered tusks is very intimidating. People don't dare to go near the wild ones even when they are friendly. The domesticated animals (ones used in temple proceedings) are a different story. They are still majestic but sadly in chains and strappings so people touch and feed them often.

People love to blame Oracle or SAP for every botched rollout without actually looking at who is responsible.

If you used consultants for the implementation, how is a botched rollout the ERP vendors fault?

The above tells you the issue isn’t from Oracle the ERP vendor.

We have data on this in the form of cigarette taxes that show good outcomes in preventing people from starting smoking and bad outcomes for existing smokers since they don't quit due to increased prices and just keep smoking while paying more so that this could go either way.

Clicking through to the Social Warming post is well worthwhile.

Hi bc569a80a344f9c,

I also use a table for university, instead of a laptop I've got the bigass Samsung s9 ultra (or whatever it's called) because it's near A4 size for reading PDF papers, etc..

This tablet has a special accessory that is a screen overly that is textured glass, so the "Writing feel" seems more like a pencile or whatever paper-like... It's marketed towards artists or whatever creative types. I think the Remarkable has that feature built into the screen without any accessory. You might see if you can find something like that for Apple tablets.

As far as a writing or note taking table goes, for people in the University, we really do need integration with things like Google or Microsoft. The whole idea that a minimal table requires the user to be subject to gatekeeping things like a computer/mobile app to do basic input/output of documents is quite frankly absurd. There is nothing distracting about saving a document into OneDrive or Google Drive.

I really do suspect the whole "focus" of Remarkable, and similar, is a cope. I totally get people with ADHD exist, and those people appreciate the kind of devices that actively prevent them from straying off their path.... but this is ridiculous.
Don't forget all the non-talented people who die young. They rarely get a public obitiary.
Another neat property of Poisson processes is that when raced against one another, they win in proportion to their underlying rates. This property is the basis of a clever random sampling algorithm that works well in SQL:

SELECT *
FROM Population
WHERE weight > 0
ORDER BY -LN(1.0 - RANDOM()) / weight
LIMIT 100 -- Sample size.

For an explanation of how it works, see
https://blog.moertel.com/posts/2024-08-23-sampling-with-sql....
It would start with confiscating criminals' guns. Then we'd criminalize certain political groups for "domestic terrorism", e.g. protesting the cop city in Atlanta. Then we would criminalize giving aid and comfort to these groups. Then the state would have carte blanche to confiscate guns for any political opposition.

The reason California has gun control is governor Reagan didn't like black leftists carrying arms.
Why fire? Because, as the GP said, it lets you use energy that isn't your own physical, biological energy. It lets you "level up" in a way that a muscle-powered tool doesn't.

What they didn't say: It also lets you smelt metals. That lets you build much better tools.
I owe my whole fascination with programming from childhood to Visual Basic 6.

AC is probably more common than it used to be in relatively wealthy countries in a certain band than it used to be, especially for newer construction. I'm not sure it's so much changes in temperature as it is just overall expectations changing.

I live in an old house in central MA in the US and I'll sometimes turn on a window/portable AC unit for a handful of days a year but I'm certainly not paying to have central air installed. Undergrad in the urban Boston area the older dorms certainly didn't have AC.

This is the central principle of human psychology and interpersonal behavior, IMO.

Kurt Vonnegut nailed it: “We are what we pretend to be, so we must be very careful about what we pretend to be”

That racist jerk? He’s probably not really a racist jerk, he’s just pretending to be one to fuck with people. Except! That is no different than “actually” being a racist jerk.

Same thing with compassion or anything else, including intelligence. When a stranger is helping you pick up stuff you dropped, or a coworker is reasoning thought a complicated problem, it doesn’t matter if they’re “just pretending”. That is who they are, to them and to you.

My personal formulation has evolved into a small riff on Vonnegut’s insight: I think that our entire personality is simply the sum of the stories we tell ourselves about ourselves. Change the stories you tell yourself, change yourself.

It wasn't a terribly useful distinction to begin with - especially in natural sciences where there is usually no definite proof, just various degrees of confidence. We had quite a few linguistic purity battles in tech, too. You never win and it's not particularly worthwhile to play that game.
In the UK we have credit reports, but each lender will calculate their own score so the "scores" you get credit reference agencies are rarely important.

I'd add another reason:

* Idiot developers like myself. Okay, I was a teenager back when I got infected by this idea, but it did persist for some time into my start of my career too - the idea that RAD tools are inferior, they are not "true programming", just some lazy no-code clicking to save monkeys from understanding the program they're building as a whole, etc.

I mean, sure, you could do a lot in RAD tools really quickly, and do it well - but that was cheating. Too good results for too small an effort. It wouldn't impress any of your IRC friends.

(Curiously, those few I know from my "generation" who wrote software for e.g. their parents' business, would happily use VBA or Delphi. Wonder why...)

This was all adjacent to and connected to other ideas that became influential with our cohort of developers, like "Windows suxx, Linux rulez", "plaintext is best", "CLI is best", "code generation is evil", etc. Those ideas are still deeply rooted in FLOSS, too.

VBA - was not C-like, you couldn't exactly put the whole project in SVN and diff nicely, it's tied to a specific platform (that sucked), a specific vendor (at a time when we all hated the evil M$ because it was the Right Thing to Do), and to a specific software suite (which was not vim). It's tricky for a technology to survive after a significant part of the fresh workforce tried to steer clear of it as a matter of principle.

I'd say that there are two kinds of 10x devs, as per who is doing the determination of '10x':

1. From the perspective of the money folks (managers & up): they get their jobs done very quickly, thus spending minimal time, meaning minimal money.

2. From the perspective of excellent systems design folks: they design an excellent system that addresses subtle problems and foresees and addresses system problems that will occur down the road.

Type #2 folks tend to not add to the org's technical debt; Type #1 folks don't GAF about such considerations -- they meet their quotas, get their perf reviews, and are on their way to their next promotion/position/project.

I'd say there is excellence for excellence's sake, and then there's money-making excellence. Sure, orgs need to make money (or at least break even) to survive, but there's a lot of overlap where being too much one way or the other will be an impediment to long-term viability.

It seems exceedingly unlikely to me that frames from random YouTube videos would have been used to train image generation models. First off, they're difficult to extract and second, the quality of individual video frames is very low, especially if we're talking about 15 year old phone videos at what, 480p at the very best!
They certainly are more industrious than I would have thought. Per the original paper "Findings from a fundamental study recounted by Logan (2007) showed that a single gopher can move 227 kg of soil per month, with gopher populations translocating 38,000 kg of soil per acre per year." [0]

AWS has quotas and limits too, just different than Google's and Microsoft's.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/dg/quotas.html

As usual with AWS, trying to translate their quotas into a dollar amount you will spend takes some work. AWS also throttles API requests, like Google and Microsoft.

I have pushed my customers to SendGrid when they need bulk outgoing email capabilities, and a reasonably easy way to manage bounces and unsubscribes. Twilio owns SendGrid. Their main competitor, MailChimp, got bought by Intuit a while back.

I don't know the details but one customer hosting on GCP uses SendGrid and told me they got better pricing because of the Google partnership. I don't know how that works exactly, just that Google mentions it. GCP doesn't allow bulk emailing from their cloud infrastructure but does allow you to use GMail, or of course through SendGrid.

Most of my customers use a CRM -- Hubspot, Salesforce, etc. -- to manage the whole customer relationship process, which includes inbound and outbound email. You can plug those into SendGrid or Mailchimp if those give you a better set of features or price.

I'm kind of in that boat as a "reckless developer". I come in and write little tools to help people workflows, automate something that was a manual process or a shell script to get the job done instead of doing it by hand. Some of these scripts can grow into big projects over time depending on if I'm the end user or someone else. No one asks me to make these things, I just see a issue to resolve and I resolve it. I like to call my self a hacker really since it makes sense in the old terminology of what I do with the many hats that i wear.

Great write-up! Recently, I struggled with DynamoDB and eventually opted for a library called ElectroDB, which supports a type-safe way to model entities in Single Table Design.

Noob question: For DynamoDB, I think internal partitions are automatically split based on usage. Is it still worthwhile to apply double-sharding at the application layer as well? Is cross-partition querying a key factor here?
> Shift in screen size: It used to be that everyone runs Windows on a 800x600 screen. That changed, and then changed quickly. Many different resolutions and screen sizes. The drag and drop thing just doesn't work well for that. The web model, where you write "responsive CSS" and the browser handles the rest for you, works better.

This... really doesn't match my experience at all. I may be thinking of later UI development tools from the .NET era (I no longer recall if VB6 had proper support for linear layouts and the like, that was forever ago) but GUI builders with responsive controls were absolutely a thing, and they ran circles around any "responsive" CSS we have today, if only because they had instant feedback. I don't miss most aspects of programming from that age, but this is one that I do miss tremendously.

Edit: I certainly agree on the other points. I think this one was less of a technical limitation and more due to the humans in the loop; lots of people just didn't know better, information dissemination was far more limited (lots of us learned these things offline, from books and the like), and the platform didn't force you to do the right thing, either.
You don't really. F# has the task{} abstraction that works just like C# and is fully compatible.

I believe some people used that monster version because VB had simple libraries that didn't allow many options. Anything more complex required you to go down the Win32 rabbit hole. And that was the main weakness of VB, it was such a simple language that you didn't have many options to do something more complex than going straight to Win32.

> Spatial memory is a very useful and important part of navigation.

Oh yes! And so under appreciated. Things that have their place is absolutely crucial. Imagine if your menu bar sorted based on how often you used “edit” vs “file”. Or why not have the keys on the keyboard change based on frequency? I’d argue we should leverage spatial- and muscle memory much more in UX and design.

> This is why my functional harmony teacher used to get annoyed by people writing the “Crosstown Traffic”/“Purple Haze” Hendrix chord as E7#9 (which you see a lot). He would say it is E7b10 because that g natural is coming from the minor modes so it’s actually the fourth degree which has been flattened. If you call it a #9 you’re telling players the wrong scale for improvisation (pretty much everyone else in the whole world calls it E7#9 though).

you mean the third degree I think?

at first I thought your teacher seems overly pedantic here, but it does kinda make sense... I'm surprised I've never heard anyone argue that before!
