Yeah I think it's very interesting to compare the two. SlateDB expects a single writer and fences writes. This means you can make some serious savings on S3 costs because you're using S3 for consistency but you're batching writes.

GlassDB is much more accessible for smaller volume workloads, but gets very costly for high volume because of requests to S3 per-transaction. In-turn the consistency model is easier to reason about because the system is entirely stateless.
Was any women here raped by the drone operators?

Until there are proofs of this happening, we should refrain to assume by default that the workers from the park, or the Cambridge scientists participating in the project, are rapists that hate women

Nothing in the article proofs that this is a case of bad men stalking women for sexual purposes. This accusations in any western country would be followed by a trial by damages against the right to honour.

Do we know if the drones were chasing off women from areas where tigers had been videotaped recently, for example?
The thing about that image that amuses me the most is that there is a local grid pattern that isn't aligned north-south, and the factory goes "don't care" and instead smashes itself through everything on a straight cardinal direction alignment.

It's interesting that the very things that people used to say to get the job 20 years ago -- and not as a plattitude (it's a perfectly reasonable and intelligent thing to say, and in a rational world, exactly what one would hope to hear from a candidate) -- are now considered as red flags that immediately disqualify one for the job.

Very sorry to hear about your current situation - best of luck.
Can you not see how there's a massive barrier to doing that? That's exactly why there's not enough of a competitive labor market. And at that point, they're not doing their job anymore: they're doing the CEO's.

It's farcical. The Royal Societies motto is "take nobody's word for it", yet this particular author is so keen on the idea that science is people agreeing with each other that the highlighted research on her home page is a paper from nearly ten years ago titled "CATALISE: A Multinational and Multidisciplinary Delphi Consensus Study."

What exactly is a "consensus study"?

"Our goal in this study was to use an online Delphi technique to see whether it was possible to achieve consensus among professionals on appropriate criteria for identifying children who might benefit from specialist services"

"These responses [from experts] were synthesised by the first two authors, who then removed, combined or modified items with a view to improving consensus ... The resulting consensus statement is reported here"

This is what she thinks of as her best scientific work! It's not even science at all, just emailing a bunch of people trying to get them to agree to things and anytime someone doesn't agree she "synthesizes" them out of the picture.

No wonder she hates Musk. The Royal Society is far better off without people like this. It's not like Musk would care if it booted him out anyway!

What is sad, is that there are already whole generations who think one must learn with an app, and are completely unaware of self-teaching textbooks from traditional publishers like Routledge, Assimil, Teach Yourself, etc. These books don’t work for everyone because learning styles are different, but they do work well for some segment of learners, yet with the decline of the physical bookshop, many young people may have never seen them.

(Hardcore linguaphiles are aware of these books, and have been one of the major demographics in the ebook filesharing scene that led to LibGen and Anna’s Archive. But I’m talking about the ordinary people you constantly see on e.g. Reddit who are just moving to another country, have to learn the language, and assume that one uses an app for that.)

Swimming without a life preserver kills a lot more people than raw milk; should the government mandate that anybody going in the water wear one?

Most people would probably reject that; they know how to swim and the government should butt out of it. From my personal perspective, informed by my background as a lifeguard and competitive swimmer, I dispute the swimming ability of most of the general public who claim they can swim. Most people who claim they "can swim" are just barely capable of not drowning under ideal conditions. Mandating life preservers for anybody who jumps into a lake or pool would without a shred of doubt save many lives every year. But should that really be done? Is protecting people from themselves really what we should be prioritizing before all else? Sometimes we should let people enjoy things, even if it may kill them.

This isn't some racist ideology we're talking about. My overall takeaway from the GP isn't that they are in favor of IMPOSING segregation but that people naturally self segregate according to social strata which influences behavior.

Seeing how the GP escaped poverty I can understand their take - they put in the effort to escape while their peers did not. Their peers stay angry and frustrated which leads to taking it out on people around them creating a dangerous and unhealthy environment. So it's hard to look back and care about them when they seemingly don't care about themselves or worse, actively make things worse for others. So of course you're going to stay far away from them and prefer they stay far the hell away from you.

I was alluding to the quote relevant to the current debate: "Genius is 1% talent and 99% hard work" — which you incorrectly attributed to Einstein.
A social network with people who's voices could serve as a check against one's internal mental state of the world around them going out of sync with the real one.

There's the old joke about how several different blind men perceive an elephant differently, but that's not too far off from how we perceive the world around us.

Marshall clearly thought things were getting significantly worse towards the end of his life. What if that perception stemmed from a poorly selected input that was never challenged by any other person's perception of reality?

For example; "There is no point to living after 65" - when there's plenty of 65+ year old people who enjoy life and contribute to the world around them. My grandparents contributed significantly to my existence when they were older than 65. If they'd both passed away at 65, my existence would be far poorer for it.

It's important to have people in our lives that help us keep our perception of reality from spinning off into dark versions that don't accurately represent actual reality.

This sort of reminds me of certificate authorities. A certificate authority is just a list of edges in this sense, and you inherently trust what the CA says are valid edges. (with some cryptography magic to verify it's really on the CA's list)

You could make everyone their own "naming authority", so you could trust anyone's list if you choose to, but I would also bet we'd end up with a similar situation, where someone compiles the most names, and becomes a great default to use, so people don't spend much time cleaning up their own data, and things sort of naturally centralize.
At the old Exploratorium in the Palace of Fine Arts there was an exhibit that had a large 3-4m balloon filled with something heavy (Argon or maybe SF6?) and two points on the floor at the foci of the balloon. You could whisper at one focus and hear it easily at the other. I think it has been replaced with a more durable pair of concrete parabolic reflectors with similar effects.
We have an actual unlimited unpaid time off policy. I have several colleagues who have taken 6+ months off (even repeatedly). Obviously I suspect that wouldn't be well-received within the "unlimited" paid leave at Netflix (but perhaps I'm wrong, I just can't imagine it).
Looks promising! May I offer some gentle feedback on your blurb above the fold?

> fDeploy is a self-hosted deployment software for Windows being currently built in Stockholm, Sweden by developers with over 10 years of experience in the industry, focusing only on the most essential and most valuable features.

I'd recommend focusing on what the most valuable features are and making those the highlight. Leading with who is building it and where doesn't add much unless your team is especially well-known or noteworthy. Also, citing "10 years of experience" as social proof might not resonate strongly—it's not a differentiator for most audiences (10 years is not that long). Instead, consider showcasing the unique aspects of the product that would immediately grab attention.
>Nuclear power, when built and operated correctly, with strict procedural compliance, is incredibly safe. The U.S. Navy has over 7500 reactor-years of safe operation spanning over 75 years, with zero reactor accidents.

What this says to me is that it's unfeasible at-scale unless it's a nationalized venture administered by a workforce with literal military discipline.
> This isn't true! If you scrambled the filenames

I said "could" because you'd have to either do a limited scramble or hotwire ls to use the right order despite the scrambling. Or sort by date or inode, probably.

> The key thing here is that the trick works by storing the information of how the blobs are ordered out-of-band.

Yes. That is the key, not the filenames.

> In the OP, that out-of-band place to store the blob order is filename.

It is, but the actual use of filenames is not a shenanigan, and the blob order could be easily accomplished without any particular filenames.

> In your JS example of `[...s].join('5')`, where does the order of [...s] come from? It's not something you can hand-wave away, it's the key thing that makes the trick work.

It comes from the process of loading the blobs onto the computer. I'm not trying to hand-wave it, I'm saying it doesn't need filenames or anything resembling filenames. Maybe it came from a tar. Maybe I sent each file in a separate email. All that matters is having an order, and having an order happens by default when you have multiple files. As long as you don't go out of your way to reorder things, the trick works.

> People take HSR sometimes because it's heavily subsidized, especially in China.

Most forms of transportation are subsidized. Good transportation infrastructure benefits the entire economy, so governments subsidize it. The fact that people can travel between cities easily and quickly facilitates business.

> China's railway is in a staggering amount of debt due to mass overbuilding

HSR is heavily utilized in China. A lot of the continued rail construction is because existing lines are butting up against capacity constraints.

> Products for export, yes.

I'm talking about products in their own shops. Chinese consumers have access to a much wider array of consumer products than Americans have.

> private consumption accounts for just 39% of the economy

Now, you're mixing completely different topics. Lower spending on consumption isn't because there aren't products on the shelves. It has to do with things like Chinese people's propensity to save, China directing more of its GDP into investment, and on the flipside, the United States' trade deficit.
Agreed. The more unique situations I program in, whether it is new people I am building software for or whether I am building on a new tech stack, the more I realize why so many packages and solutions exist in pip and npm.

Coding new solutions in new ways has helped me learn so much. Getting a career that supports that was one of the biggest catalysts for me (unsurprisingly), however, attempting to code anything is certainly beneficial.
"They profit less if people actually learn a language and so can't be too good at their job because they'll bleed users faster than they can gain them - similar to dating apps."

This might be why some of the best language-learning content I have seen is from national broadcasters like YLE in Finland. There, once a foreigner learns the language from that material, they then become a consumer of the broadcaster’s main content.
I think open-sourcing your tech for the common person while leaving commercial use behind a paywall or even just against terms is completely acceptable, no?

Your phone's security is a dangerous illusion right now, hackers are silently controlling the third-party vendors that manage critical telecom services, including the fundamentally broken caller ID system that blindly trusts incoming data without verification.

Even worse, your iPhone's activation is handled by outsourced companies with direct access to your Apple account information, while major carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile suffer devastating breaches that expose millions of customers' data.

The most terrifying part? These vulnerabilities aren't secrets - hackers openly discuss and exploit these compromised systems on IRC channels daily, yet the telecommunications industry continues to pretend everything is secure while your personal information is already in the hands of hackers.

It would be nice if the original design (with dots etc) was preserved, rather than trying to make it look more like Chinese.

It's also unfortunate that what was originally a purely phonemic script was gradually transformed into a morphophonemic system. The changes that happened to the language post Sejong were also accommodated in a much more ad-hoc manner than the original elegant design.

(To be fair, the original took years of research to get that final design! But, all the more reason to keep it up to date, no?)

You sound like the people who argue that, despite decades of security vulnerabilities offering evidence otherwise, C is perfectly safe if you know what you’re doing and just put more effort into it.

Technically you may be right, but it’s not a helpful viewpoint. What the world needs are abstractions that are easier to understand and program correctly, not assertions that everyone else is doing it wrong and just needs to be smarter/work harder.

As long as you don't go out of your way to reorder things, the trick works.

I guess that's where we disagree. I think you don't have an order by default, you need to explicitly define it, and transmit it, and store it somehow. Which is after all, why it's not true compression. When you account for that metadata, the "compressed" data is not smaller than the original.

In the OP, the cheat was using filenames to store that data. In a tar file, it's using the tar file metadata to store it. In your email, you're storing the email metadata to keep that ordering. In all cases, order is a key thing that you need to explicitly define, transmit, and store. And in all cases, this metadata takes up more space than is saved by the whole scheme.
I'm not saying the ranking is necessarily wrong, but that turning the ranking into a distribution is constructed. And it MIGHT be a correct construction, but I am less confident that is true.

The distribution implies something like "someone at 50% is not that different than someone at 55%" but "someone at 90% is very different from 95%". That is: the x axis implies there's some unit of intelligence, and the actual intelligence of people in the middle is roughly similar despite ranking differences. That distribution also implies that when you get to the extremities the ranking reflects greater differences in intelligence.

Depends on your purpose of the transcript. If you are expecting the exact form of the words spoken in written form, then any deviation from that is no longer a transcription. At that point it is text loosely based on the spoken content.

Once you accept it okay for the LLM to just replace words in a transcript, you might as well just let it make up a story based on character names you've provided.
I will set some time aside to rewrite that. Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated!
