No. It really is insane. The only business I've encountered running that many clusters is an i18n energy company and they only _have_ to run that many due to regulatory compliance with certain kinds of data hosting.
It proves that they could have made bread this way.

It doesn’t necessarily prove that they did.

Although the article presents pretty convincing evidence that they did. (Ceramic formation on the clay trays that matches the temperature and composition of focaccia residue).

So unless they are just making up data for their paper (which is something that definitely happens), it sounds legit to me.

I think those are two sides of the same argument.

If certain kids are getting in because of tutoring rather than because of talent/ability, then they are the kids that are being pushed unnecessarily to participate when they'd be better off doing something else. Those kids take up the space of kids who are poor who could benefit from that kind of instruction.
Prove? No. Let's look at the quote we are discussing again

>"These investigations suggested that large loaves made with water and flour might have been baked on these trays, placed in domed ovens for about two hours at an initial temperature of 420°C."

That's why they are using words like "suggested" and "might". When dealing with ancient civilization often all we have leftover are tools that survived. It's not like we have cookbooks from that era. So all we have is guessing what they might have done, based on attempting to solve the same problem with the same tools.
In 1994 Russia and the USA agreed to Ukrainian sovereignty and its borders in return for the Ukraine voluntarily disarming its nukes:

It was promised the USA AND Russia would provide the Ukraine adequate defense in lieu of giving up their nukes.

Which gives the lie to “Russia invaded because of impending Ukrainian NATO membership” - the USA & Russia already promised to defend their 1994 borders AT THAT TIME.

The USA and Russia also agreed in 1994 to Ukrainian autonomy and sovereignty, e.g. the freedom to join NATO and the EU if they want.

It is Putin that has broken his pact with the Ukraine by invading.

“

As the United States mediated between Russia and Ukraine, the three countries signed the Trilateral Statement on January 14, 1994. Ukraine committed to full disarmament, including strategic weapons, in exchange for economic support and security assurances from the United States and Russia.
“

If the USA cedes Ukrainian territory to Russia in a peace deal the USA will also have broken its 1994 agreement to defend the Ukraine’s 1994 borders and its autonomy ( to join NATO if it desires ).

How to Scare Your Contributors Away: A Veteran's View on the Platform's Turmoil
You’ve put the schitzophrenia thing into GP’s mouth. They didn’t say that.
Hung tasks due to low memory are a bug not a feature. Any time you put the Linux kernel under memory pressure you trigger its wealth of defects in error handling paths, none of which are tested and most of which are rarely exercised in practice. For example squashfs used to have a resource leak under memory pressure where it would exit a function without releasing a lock, after which all block operations system-wide would hang forever until reboot. Linux is absolutely crawling with that type of defect, but not uniformly. Some subsystems have more than others, and btrfs is unusually dense with them.
> The goal has not at any point been to become an ultimate Lisp and take over the world

obviously something a lisp that had designated itself ultimate and was keen to take over the world would say.
> Starlink has a constellation two orders of magnitude bigger than any competitor. It’s over. And IMO it’s awesome

I feel like you are being overly charitable. The ‘it’s awesome’ comes directly after the ‘it’s over’

But TBH I’m pretty cyclical at the best of times.

That's irrelevant. Look, the C++ committee has decided yet again not to break ABI. That is to say, they have affirmed that they DO NOT want backwards incompatible changes. So suggesting a way to make backwards incompatible changes is of no interest to the C++ committee. They don't want it and they have said so more than once.
> Sure, but this wasn’t secret information

Of course it was! All information about the true state of the west was censored and controlled. Today North Korea does the same thing for the same reason.

"Censorship in the Soviet Union was pervasive and strictly enforced":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_the_Soviet_Union

"Due to the appearance of foreign radio stations broadcasting in Russian territory and their immunity from censorship, as well as the appearance of a large number of shortwave receivers, massive jamming of these stations was applied in the USSR using high-power radio-electronic equipment. It continued for almost 60 years until the end of the Cold War. The Soviet radio censorship network was the most extensive in the world."
Weird behavior indeed. I don't observe it myself on MacOS 10.11 and I had feedback from couple of other Mac users, where it worked fine - even on older MacOS than yours. I really cannot imagine what could cause your MacOS to log out. Sorry.

> How many vacant units are required?

7% vacancy rate is about the historical average for the US I think. Around there or a bit higher would probably be healthy.

> And where?

Supply needs to meet demand: we most need new housing where the economy is booming and jobs are being added.

But you act like we need some federal authority to say, "okay guys, put housing HERE". That's totally unnecessary: if regulations are streamlined sufficiently, developers will build where demand exists. No central authority required.

> But we also wouldn't have villages dying in the country-side, and extremely expensive cities/metro-areas.

???

I'm sorry, are you unaware that most jobs aren't remote or something? This is a very strange and simple thing to misunderstand.
There are also libraries like https://github.com/Jeffail/tunny or https://pkg.go.dev/go.uber.org/goleak or https://github.com/fatih/semgroup to help deal with concurrency limits and goroutine lifecycle management.

As the author of https://github.com/ahmetb/go-linq, it's hard to find adoption for libraries offering "syntactic sugar" in Go, as the language culture discourages those kind of abstractions and keeping the code straightforward.
The TGV in France makes a profit. As does the Shinkansen in Japan. Intercity routes in the UK aren't high speed but are all profitable. Rural rail lines are not profitable and commuter lines are about break-even, depending on the fares charged. E.g. the tube in London is break even as it receives no operating subsidy, but it's quite expensive compared to e.g. the Paris / Madrid / Berlin metros. If you want to lubricate congestion in your city an easy way to do it is to encourage people to take a more space efficient form of transport by subsidising this. As a business proposition it probably makes sense for the overall region in the same way that it makes sense for a factory to move stuff around on conveyer belts rather than having everyone carry stuff from one station to the next. Britain has low productivity compared to the western EU average. It is posited that one of the big reasons for this is that our infrastructure is a bit shit.
Level smart lock. I have a handful of issues with it, but the big one is that it falls in the category of "tech product never tested outside of California" because the thing just does not work outside of the Goldilocks days where it's not too hot, cold, humid, or dry (for me, it works maybe half the time during the summer, and never during the winter). To hardware product designers: capacitive touch sensing is not reliable in the cold.
'For All Atari ST' would to me imply it's a SSDD disk, since the 1040STs came without a DSDD drive, at least initially.
"Scheme for world domination", yet it has no Windows builds ;-)

Also, from the examples it looks like it requires (or at least recommends) an APL keyboard, or around a dozen macros for characters like λ, ∀, ∊, etc.

Still, this has to be one of the most practically useful Scheme (or Lisp) implementations that I've seen in a while.... Although it probably needs some getting used to for a Schemer who is used to having set! and friends....
It moves. Just only rotationally. :)
It depends on where you are. Metropolitans and provincial capitals are expensive, but some smaller cities are cheaper. But then the public service is worse and you kinda want to live closer to bigger cities. I don't know how much $$ you are talking about, but it's easy to figure that out if you can give me a city in mind and I can check the cost for you.
It's really difficult for me to believe that they really got 10% top performers. For one, knowing the cut-throat nature of employment there, I would expect only a minority of developers would be willing to try working there, despite the awesome rewards.

Another reason I really don't trust that to be true is that I've never seen a good way to measure who is a top performer and who is not. I don't think there's one, people are good in different things, even within the same job... for one assignment, Joe may be the best, but for another, Mary is the winner (but again, to measure this reliably and objectively is nearly impossible IMHO for anything related to knowledge work - and I've read lots of research in this area!).

Finally, just as a cheap shot at Netflix, sorry I can't resist as a customer: they absolutely suck at the most basic stuff in their business, which is to produce good content in the first place, and very importantly, NOT FREAKING CANCEL the best content! I won't even mention how horrible their latest big live stream was... oh well, I just did :D.
"IQ is Gaussian" – it was pointed out somewhere, and only then became obvious to me, that IQ is not Gaussian. The distribution is manufactured.

If you have 1000 possible IQ questions, you can ask a bunch of people those questions, and then pick out 100 questions that form a Gaussian distribution. This is how IQ tests are created.

This is not unreasonable... if you picked out 100 super easy questions you wouldn't get much information, everyone would be in the "knows quite a lot" category. But you could try to create a uniform distribution, for instance, and still have a test that is usefully sensitive. But if you worry about the accuracy of the test then a Gaussian distribution is kind of convenient... there's this expectation that 50th percentile is not that different than 55th percentile, and people mostly care about that 5% difference only with 90th vs 95th. (But I don't think people care much about the difference between 10th percentile and 5th... which might imply an actual Pareto distribution, though I think it probably reflects more on societal attention)

Anyway, kind of an aside, but also similar to what the article itself is talking about
Right now it's the only page under site:bsky.network if you search for that. Hilarious and awesome! https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Absky.network Daniel is a great hacker.
> So a Gaussian distribution is a far more reasonable assumption than a slice of the Pareto distribution

It's not an assumption. See the evidence referenced in the footnotes.
The USA & Russia made a pact to defend the Ukraine, based on the Ukraine giving up their nukes.

“ As the United States mediated between Russia and Ukraine, the three countries signed the Trilateral Statement on January 14, 1994. Ukraine committed to full disarmament, including strategic weapons, in exchange for economic support and security assurances from the United States and Russia.”

If the USA doesn’t defend them adequately the USA will have broken their 1994 agreement - with all the trust implications for future agreements.

By invading the Ukraine, Russia broke its 1994 deal.

The USA and Russia also agreed in 1994 to Ukrainian autonomy and sovereignty, e.g. the freedom to join NATO and the EU if they want - which gives the lie to NATO membership as a cause !

Russia agreed in 1994 that the Ukraine had the right to join NATO or anything else it wanted to do - that is the the definition of autonomy and sovereignty.

Thus implicitly, in fact, Russia agreed to defend the Ukraine’s right to join NATO.

Russia has broken treaties to invade many of it neighbours recently, this needs to be questioned not apologised for.

Rank and yank is simply about lowering labor costs, once the business has achieved a significant moat and no longer needs to focus solely on growing revenues. A negotiating tool for the labor buyer, due to the continuous threat of termination.
The key is that blibbe is talking about switches. Modern switches can process packets at line rate.

If you're working in AWS, you almost certainly are hitting a router, which is comparably slower. Not to mention you are dealing with virtualized hardware, and you are probably sharing all the switches & routers along your path (if someone else's packet is ahead of yours in the queue, you have to wait).
I always thought to do that by having a virtual file system that tags my files and so they are available at specific location if they fit the bill.
I think your sentence demonstrates the difference between trying to fake "sounding smart" and just writing in a complex way.

Like seriously, "[exhaling air] continually engages our [...] mental faculties" is pretty nonsensical, since breathing is something autonomic. "Omnipresent chemical simulator" seems irrelavent in context. All in all, its a nonsense sentence

Now compare with the original sentence. Its an introduction to the paper. They are trying to establish why they are doing the research they are doing and why you should care. And it tells you - we did research into sound dapening because sound is all around us and its constantly effecting us. Which is something as a human i find to be true - the modern (urban) world is quite noisy. When there is too much noise it can be mentally exhausting and can tax my ability to understand those around me. After reading that sentence I now know why they are researching this area, and agree it is a worthy thing to research. That introductory sentence did everything an introductory sentence to a paper is supposed to do.

Sure, they use some fancy words, but they aren't even that fancy. It is a formal paper, i think high school level reading ability can be presumed.
On this note, I'm looking for an Encyclopedia of Visualizations. Something like this, but even more comprehensive.

For each visualization I would want, at a minimum, an Example and the Name (and any alternative names).

But, a website would be even better.
In which case, both you and the article can’t be bothered to step outside and understand the market.

Or are you both claiming that Apple has an entire multi decade line of products it keeps refreshing without a market? And they dedicate valuable retail space to something that doesn’t sell?

The author uses a Google Sheet as a remote config solution to avoid frequent firmware uploads on microcontrollers. A C++ class fetches config values from the sheet's public CSV endpoint at runtime.
This depends.

Everyone over here would know that "ÄŒelje" (?elje) is either čelje, šelje or želje. Maybe even đelje or ćelje if it's a name or something else. So, special attention would be taken to 'decypher' what was meant here.

But if you see "Celje", you assume it's actually Celje (a much larger city than Čelje) and not one of those variants above. And noone will bother with figuring out if part of a letter is missing, it'll just get sent to Celje.
> Economic segregation is not a net societal ill, in fact it's the primary driver for many people to increase their fortunes (myself included) so they can escape the crime and blight that comes from lower class people.

Thank you for admitting what so many NIMBYs won't: that they're pro-segregation.

And let's be clear, calling it economic segregation isn't an exaggeration. The zoning that the US typically has is a form of gated community living enforced by the government. It's designed to separate where people live by class, and people like this poster are entirely for it.

Also:

> Economic segregation is not a net societal ill

It is, actually, because it tends to limit social mobility.

People having enormous advantages or disadvantages because of their starting social class is less than great for society. Obviously we can't really eliminate all of that sort of thing, but we definitely don't want the government explicitly pursuing policies to encourage social stratification.
> Performance management, as practiced in many large corporations in 2024, is an outdated technology that is in need of an update

Author made a couple of fundamental mistakes: the first is they assume employees are (or should be) paid according to how much they "individually" earned the company. Employers strive to pay employees the minimum they can bear, on employer's terms. Those terms are information asymmetry and a Gaussian distribution. Fairness is the last thing one should expect from employers, but being honest about this is not good for morale, so instead, they rely on keeping employees uninformed, while the employers collude to gather everyone's remuneration history via the Work Number.

The second mistake they made is assume that companies would prioritize being lean and trimming the mediocre & bottom 5%. There are other considerations, combined productivity is more important than having individual superstars working on the shiniest features. How much revenue do you think a janitor or café staffer generates? Close to zero. The same goes for engineering. Someone has to do the unglamorous staff, or you end up with a dysfunctional company, with amazing talent (on paper).

Edit: there's an infamous graph that shows when aggregate worker productivity and average income. The two tracked closely, rising in tandem until the 1970s, where they got decoupled. With income becoming much flatter, and productivity continuing to rise. That's how the world has been for the past 50 years on the macro and the micro
Question about your book. I'm looking for an Encyclopedia of Visualizations. Something very complete.

Is your book something like this? Or do you know of a book or website that offers something like this?
Code is an asset in the same way that any process documents in your organization are. They represent codified solutions to problems.

You do not need to re-solve this problem, and when a similar problem occurs, you can adapt the existing solution to the new problem.

Another way to think about it: if code was not an asset, we would delete it immediately after compilation.
They were right about those regulations. The CAFE is why we now have the proliferation of huge trucks and SUVs instead of sedans.

Cars from Japan, 2000 or current that are clean aren't street legal here because they don't meet the safety standards. Those safety features add weight, which in turn drive down the efficiency.
I think the constraint of using a band limited signal is the big misunderstanding many people have in regards to digital audio.

Yes, you can perfectly reproduce a band limited signal as long as the highest frequency is below fs/2.

But to get a band limited signal from a “real life” signal without any artifacts can be trickier than one might think. Especially when the Nyquist frequency is near the limit of human hearing.

And this is the one big argument in favor of Hi Res audio - moving those filter frequencies high above the hearing threshold.
You are right - I intended to say 2 Sq miles, not 4 Sq miles :)
YouTube doesn’t have to deal with the same latency, or deal with representing lots of text.

This makes perfect sense on paper, but I disabled UPNP in router settings at some point just to see what happens and the torrents still work to this day. No issues with no apps whatsoever. That got me confused and I assumed that NAT masquerading is responsible for such "port forwarding" (having the address translation table and all that).

I'm currently using Mikrotik router with the latest RouterOS and Transmission/qBitTorrent for the clients if that helps. Any idea why is this the case?

And if (just in case) Mikrotik's implementation of NAT does in fact do "UPNP", why add separate UPNP settings? By the looks of things, I would assume that, when disabled, UPNP still works, but with some default rule set, and when enabled, you get to fine tune the interfaces. But that's just a wild guess. No mentions of such behaviour in the official wiki.

Sorry, Mikrotik does some arcane things so learning network concepts on RouterOS often leaves one with more answers than questions :')

I can't take this rant seriously so let's agree to disagree. I see most of it as red-herring, including comparative analysis of other figures like Newton v Leibneiz (both of whom I know without Googling, mind you). I guess I just let my previous statement stand as you suggest as "a public record for your own sanity to avoid gas-lighting, or to be able to say later "I told you so"" without further engaging into why. Just leaving it as a wager, 50 years from now if people read this they can adjudicate my prediction of who would have been more relevant in overall metrics that a circle like RS cares about. My money is on Musk, and not even close, and to the extent the author is remembered, it'll be as in the context of disparaging Musk more than their scientific achievements. I'm outta here; <mic drop>.
A few common use cases that I've been using is connecting a development database in a local docker container to Claude Desktop or any other MCP Client (e.g. an IDE assistant panel). I visualized the database layout in Claude Desktop and then create a Django ORM layer in my editor (which has MCP integration).

Internally we have seen people experiment with a wide variety of different integrations from reading data files to managing their Github repositories through Claude using MCP. Alex's post https://x.com/alexalbert__/status/1861079762506252723 has some good examples. Alternatively please take a look at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers for a set of servers we found useful.
