A yes, but it's odd to me that other people want me to be at a funeral with them.

If we have a great relationship, I can lend you money, share my house, get you a date, do some errands for you, take you to a party, listen to your thoughts and give you feedback. All valuable things I can do for you regardless of my funeral attendance. But just standing at a funeral? I don't see how is that valuable. Maybe for the chat, but we can have the chat anywhere else, like staring at the stars in a park, a superior setting.

And if we don't have a good relationship, well, then it doesn't matter what you want.

The issue is, there just aren't that many satellites in orbit. 7000 (for SpaceX, less for other networks) for the globe means that only a few connections over a particular geographical area end up causing serious congestion.

SpaceX is pushing hard to address this - they'll probably end up launching ~135 times this year, and are aiming for more than 180 times next year[2], most of which will be Starlink. But no matter how many satellites are in orbit, there just won't be the bandwidth to service dense urban areas.

The reason that cell phones work is because there are so many cell towers. And, those towers have a density that correlates with demand.

The problem with LEO satellites is, they have to evenly cover the Earth[1]. Which means that a level of service sufficient for a dense urban area would mean that rest of the world would be ridiculously over provisioned.

---

1. It's more complicated than that. Specifically, providers can use inclination to limit orbits to mid latitudes. But that only helps so much.

2. These numbers may not mean much to you, but they are absurd compared to pre-SpaceX years. SpaceX is doing more launches in a year than most rockets do in their entire lifetimes. A normal year for a SpaceX competitor like ULA is 4-10 launches, although those companies are also aiming to ramp up as Starlink competitors like Kuiper demand more launch volume.

Not OP, but this isn't what Konfig did. They didn't try and rescue a bad idea by automating things. They attempted an AI focussed pivot.

Using AI to automate things to rescue a failing product idea is kind of treating AI as a tool. But AI won't fix a bad product idea.

It's really frustrating because both papers clearly lays out the numbers in natural frequencies:

> During 1,915,120 person-years of observation, 218 persons developed NAION. Semaglutide
51 exposure associated with a higher incidence rate (0·228 vs 0·093 per 1000 person-years, p<0·001)
52 and independently predicted a higher risk of upcoming NAION (HR 2·19, 95% confidence interval
53 1·54-3·12), even when multiple other factors were taken into account.

> In this cohort study conducted in Denmark and Norway, use of semaglutide was associated with an increased risk of NAION; the pooled hazard ratio was 2.81 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.67 to 4.75) and the incidence rate difference (absolute risk increase) was +1.41 (95% CI +0.53 to +2.29) NAION events per 10,000 person-years. The finding was consistent across sensitivity and supplementary analysis.
> very few professors can be bothered to even try it out

Do you happen to know if there is some overlap between these professors and professors who also refuse AI-detectors? Apathy could be the reason but I wonder how much of it is driven by cynicism encouraged by the inefficacy of AI-detecting tools.

The one student who got caught for plagiarism when I was a TA was busted by turnitin.

It works well for routers: on many routers you can install openwrt or opnsense.

My #1 feedback would be to expand on the documentation.

I really want to know how this is going to benefit me before I start putting in a lot of effort to switch to using it. That means I need to see why it is better than ${EXISTING_TOOL}.

I also need to know that it is actually compatible with my existing data pipeline. For example, we have many single tenant databases that are replicated to a central warehouse. During replication, we have to attach source information to the records to distinguish them and for RBAC. It looks like I can do this with Bruin but the documentation doesn't explicitly talk about single tenant vs multi-tenant design.

It 100% is when I was learning to drive in the 90's. Growing up I remember driving up the desolate back-roads of upstate NY on our way to VT and my father loosing his shit when some moron kept their high beams on. It was rare.

I bet a lot of it has to do with modern car automation where auto dimming and other features are expected by newer drivers to just work and they blissfully drive around expecting the car to do everything for them. Laziness rendered by convenience.

Oh wow! I've worked on turning PAIP (Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming) from a book into a bunch of Markdown files, but that's "only" about a thousand pages long, compared to the roughly 27000 pages long of all those volumes. I have advice, possibly helpful, possibly not.

Getting higher quality scans could save you some headaches. Check the Internet Archive. Or, get library copies, and the right camera setup.

Scantailor might help; it lets you semi-automate a chunk of things, with interactive adjustments. I don't know how its deskewing would compare to ImageMagick. The signature marks might be filtered out here.

I wrote out some of my process for handling scans here - https://github.com/norvig/paip-lisp/releases/tag/v1.2 . I maybe should blog about it.

If you get to the point of collaborative proofreading, I highly recommend Semantic Linefeeds - each sentence gets its own line. https://rhodesmill.org/brandon/2012/one-sentence-per-line/ I got there by:

* giving each paragraph its own line

* then, linefeed at punctuation, maybe with quotation marks and parentheses? It's been a while
I have fond memories of running Labrea during the Code Red worm days(2001).
I see what you're claiming is the problem.
Quantum computing control systems is exactly the domain I've spent about half a decade doing, it's really not the production-like environment you think it is. Speed of iteration and flexibility to allow for changes to hardware is tantamount to success. It's also a lot easier to accept risk to breakages in the language when the author works at your company too.

I spent 2021 to about a year ago working on my own service. Since it was just me and the service was an api, I had to wear many hats. Had to learn more about backend needs and infrastructure than I had needed to know when I was just doing full stack work before.

There's never a direct path.

I'd suggest that if you want to move in that direction learn more about databases and api design (REST and graphql unfortunately). They're among the more popular api types these day. Not a graphql fan myself.

At your current job, try to pick up tasks that are more backend focused. It's nice to get paid while learning. It also makes you more valuable to your company and may make you happier because you're doing a broader spectrum of work.

Don't ever be afraid of asking questions from other people in different roles. Most people would be happy to spend a little time talking about what they're doing. Everyone is always stretched on time and if you can contribute to helping them solve some small problems that are in their backlogs, that's a good start too.

Yeah, that was a great blog post. As someone who started in mathematics but ended up in computing, I read it and realized, hang on, he is talking about taking a devops approach to mathematics. It definitely struck me that this is the way of the future: mathematics transformed from almost a humanities-like discipline into an engineered enterprize.
Models hate negative prompts. There's a reason Stable Diffusion txt2img requires a dedicated "negative" CLIP input in addition to positive.

FLUX, for all its benefits, is really annoying in this aspect as you cannot really provide negative guidance without complicated hacks [1]. Therefore, "orignal" ideas that go against popular wisdom or mainstream culture will be very hard to prompt for. This is, in my opinion, an important caveat of ML "art". ML "art" is already considered useless slop because of how much it conforms to biases built in the weights. The inability to tune down adherence to mainstreaming norms is therefore all the more problematic.

Yes, exactly this. At one point I had a list of services that I utilize along with a list of the yubikeys I had enrolled on each. My plan was to enroll my backup key periodically (retrieving it from its safe place to do so). This ended up being a giant pita, and despite my best efforts, the list became out of date.

Ah, hidden right at the end inside the "about the studies":

> Both Danish studies show that the risk of developing NAION for the individual patient receiving treatment with Ozempic is only 0.2 per thousand per year, which is fortunately significantly lower than in the American study. NAION is a relatively rare condition, and the extra risk is therefore low. The researchers estimate that for every 10,000 people treated in a year, between 1.5 and 2.5 extra cases will be seen.

Sadly it's still relative, and they still leave you the mental maths to work out the natural frequencies.

I agree, but whatever you did earlier, that's not a reason to not do something now.
In any given place there are 3-4 Starlink satellites visible at a time. The bandwidth on each is somewhere in the 20 Gbps range.

So if you have 200 people using one satellite that’s no problem. 800 people using that whole cluster of visible satellites is also no problem. With 8000 simultaneous users you’re all down to 10 Mbps which is starting to get a bit limiting.

Each satellite covers an area about 15 miles across. About 100 square miles.

So… that works out to… something like 100 simultaneous users per square mile max.

That’s all back of the napkin math obviously… 1000 users packed into a small city surrounded by corn fields would be fine. 1000 users around every subway stop in NYC wouldn’t work even if the density is the same.
The big problem with Gzipped JSON is that once unzipped, it's gigantic. And you have to parse everything, even if you just need a few values. Just the memory bottleneck of having to munch through a string in JSON is going to slow down your parser by a ton. In contrast, a string in Protobuf is length-encoded.

5-10x is not uncommon, and that's kissing an order of magnitude difference.

'Next Wednesday' is always the Wednesday of the calendar week following the current calendar week; doesn't matter what day of the week it currently is. 'This Wednesday' is always the Wednesday of current week on the calendar— even if that day is in the past.

Is it quirky that this expression doesn't instead mean 'the next Wednesday that will occur'? Yes, definitely. But I don't see how it's difficult to describe what it actually does mean.

That's the way it's supposed to be, at least as spoken in the part of Scotland from where my family hails.
