> It doesn't matter if the top polluter has 1 billion, 0.1 billion, or 10 billion people

Each polluter is an individual person making individual decisions.

The thing people are dancing around is any concept of "rationing", because that's political suicide, but at the same time asking people who've only just got clean water and walk to work to reduce emissions while other people are taking multiple transatlantic flights per week looks a bit questionable.
Interoperability with the other things your Otel Vendor is selling you. No two implementations are even remotely compatible, but they can all mostly scrape data from your Prometheus endpoints, so it's easy to migrate from useful software to their walled garden.
Fast loaders were a thing after 1987, and we’re plenty fast, even the tape ones were acceptable. Not cartridge fast, but 10 sec floppy disc load for games, about 30-60 secs for cassette.

"Since the contextuality of communication is always in the foreground when I talk or write, you know that someone is confusing me with an authority when they talk about my `protocol' for something. Context is everything, and it’s individual and empirical." —Ray Peat

I suspect you are removing so much nuance and context as to make a reasonable idea seem quite stupid. Do you have a reference to that specific claim?

His general approach is to figure out what biological systems are impaired in a particular health condition, and rationally think through the possible underlying bottlenecks and regulation - including things like the nutrient substrates for metabolism, and hormones that trade off metabolic energy between different systems.

At a philosophical level, he was generally opposed to any type of prescription or protocol that claims to "cure almost any[thing]" and emphasizes the need to understand the individual context and biology for a certain situation. He flat out refused to give any general health or diet protocols, and only said what he did for himself in very specific situations related to his own personal health problems- which ignorant people with no biological knowledge have inappropriately tried to translate into general prescriptions and diet protocols.

They're cargo culting his personal diet, etc. when really following his philosophy would involve deeply studying and understanding the biology with an open mind, and thinking of creative solutions on your own.

If one is treating him as an authority, and copying what he did or said personally, they are already entirely missing the point, and acting completely against his actual philosophy of problem solving. His goal was mostly to strip authoritarianism from medicine, and replace it with an orientation towards personal deep understanding and creative problem solving.

It is my belief that people are so conditioned to expect simple nonsense "universal protocols" from both mainstream and alternative medicine, they refuse to listen when his whole point is to get people out of that kind of thinking... and try to still extract them from whatever he says.

> To violate your privacy an IR sensor would have to be able to pick out people (98 degrees Fahrenheit, approx.) and put them on a map.

People aren't the only (or largest hotter-than-background, and maybe not hottest-human-sized) thing on your property that a privacy-violating IR sensor drone might want to detect.

> Versus a sensor tuned to an actual fire which is substantially hotter and larger.

If you want an early-detection sensor for fires, they'll be substantially hotter but not substantially larger than an adult human.
I appreciate your skepticism! The proposition that rates of homelessness are primarily driven by housing costs has actually been well supported in research - this Pew article contains many useful references:

https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/articles/...

As per econ 101, high prices are a function of scarcity relative to demand: we can reasonably claim that regulations which restrict housing development, which by their nature must increase scarcity and therefore housing costs, therefore also lead to increased rates of homelessness.

> In the handful of ultra expensive metro areas, sure it might move the needle

That's a good point, but those are exactly the places which have significant homelessness problems.

In general, this is not a housing preference issue, because opposition to upzoning does not come from people who aspire to live in single-family homes, but from people who already own them. This is a typical example:

https://www.change.org/p/whittier-neighbors-against-seattle-...

As usual with these things, the complaints include a cloud of nitpicky nonsense surrounding a central concern over "neighborhood character", which is a polite way of saying "we don't want apartment-dwelling poor people coming to live near us".

Okay, but my eyes hurt now.
My impression has been that Strong Towns' analysis of the growth Ponzi scheme was correct, or at least not obviously incorrect, in its original context, which was watching small towns far away from large cities become hollowed out by people moving outside the city limits into unincorporated land. If you actually look at the examples on the original Strong Towns' site, you will see that they're largely not suburbs or even exurbs of major cities.

But both that site and its readers have tried to apply that conclusion to suburbs of major cities, which is ludicrously wrong to anyone that actually knows anything about the causes of municipal bankruptcy (almost always due to pension obligations , and often in a vicious cycle with high taxes raised to pay for pensions that drive away residents).
>H1B was never about the top talent

Precisely. The camera is not the Security SYSTEM. It should be an unthinking, and thus difficult to corrupt or abuse, sensor for a security system.
Without additional qualification, the word "robotics" is meaningless. I've worked in automation of physical processes for my entire career. Some people refer to stuff I've done as robotics, I don't.

Both security and robotics will continue to progress quickly (I'm actually taking a break from writing some cybersecurity documentation rn) because they address real, pressing problems.

So do the one that sounds more interesting. They'll both likely be very lucrative.

Can you even achieve this with prometheus? Afaik it operates by exposing metrics that are scraped at some interval. High level stuff, not per-trace stuff.

How would you build the "holy grail" map that shows a trace of every sub component in a transaction broken down by start/stop time etc... for instance show the load balancer see a request, the request get handled by middlewares etc, then go onto some kind of handler/controller, the sub-queries inside of that like database calls or cache calls. I don't think that is possible with prometheus?

No, that requirement is only for greencard, not for h1b.

I think that's the point. DEI is performative. A business cannot survive unless it hires the best person for the job.
That's not an argument, that's a restatement of the problem; that's what being irrational means. The problem is to prove that you can't create sqrt(2) with a fraction. How, exactly, would this statement have been obvious to the Pythagoreans? Can you give me an argument for this that they would have found obvious? One that uses the Pythagorean theorem even, perhaps, since you brought that up? Remember, no using concepts they wouldn't have had like prime factorization!
Difficult situation. 5 MBPS was certainly better than nothing in the past...and yet the Sure business (now) appears largely obsolete with Starlink, Kuiper etc.
Sure, I misspoke. It's more about the contents of the cert itself (signing keys, deprecation of CN field, etc) than the hosting web server configuration.

I agree.. Waymo sells +150k rides every week according to Alphabet’s Q3 2024 earnings announcement. Yes they need human assistance once in a while. I know of plenty other automation that needs to be tickled or rebooted periodically to work, that most would still say works automatically.

Maybe he has a very narrow or strict definition of ‘driverless’. That would explain the “not in this half of the century”-sentiment. I mean, it’s 25 years!
> 5 Mbps

Less than a year ago, relatives of mine in rural France still only had around 1.5 Mbps via ADSL. Video chat was borderline impossible. YouTube wasn’t possible in real time (i.e. buffering took significantly longer than the runtime).
So many things! Just recovering my (device-bound, i.e. explicitly opted out of cross-device restores) 2FA authentication credentials, banking apps etc. takes me a few hours on iOS.

Restoring all app data and configuration would probably take me several days. The fact that Android still doesn't offer an equivalent to iTunes local backups of iOS devices was one of the reasons I switched.

I doubt that although I agree that it's much more useful when cost of a failure is higher. For example I work in a lab that formalizes requirements and we have real customers that pay us for formalization because they find it useful. Some products are things that a failure could cause injury or even possibly death. But not all systems have that high costs and they still see benefits.
> H1B is just about specialized (skilled) professions like engineer or nurse or designer or manager.

No domestic workers in those fields will work for the bottom tier of $38K. That is not a skilled professional's salary. The point is to get gullible foreigners to work for peanuts with the promise of maybe winning a green card. Maybe.

That depends on the assembly language. Some have structure constructs, some are typed. Portability is out.

Trump previously threatened to imprison Zuckerberg for life on trumped up charges (https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trump-warns-mark-zuckerberg-c...). He said in an interview that's probably why Meta changed their policies (https://bsky.app/profile/atrupar.com/post/3lf66oltlvs2l).
One perspective that I don’t know 100% agree with but I often observe.

There’s no such thing as a conpromise on free speech, and that’s not the goal. The objective is not to find a center but to pull as far to my side as I can. That’s why I might support censorship of the other side. _because_ I know when they get in power they’ll do the same on the opposite side. This theory is played out by the fact that Facebook does a 180 like days before Trump takes over.

Not censoring the other side isn’t functionally useful, in fact, if I don’t censor the other side the pendulum will swing even farther.

In general I feel like there’s this false premise that if the left had handled this better the right wouldn’t be so mad. I think that’s wrong the right was always going to pull right, no matter the starting point.
"Chasing that last few per cent of performance is fundamental to the audiophile pursuit."

Then you better spend a lot of time in used record stores, looking for CDs pressed before the late '90s. The labels have ruined all popular music mastered or "remastered" since then with DYNAMIC compression, and those are the only versions you're going to find on streaming services. Lossless delivery of shit is still shit.

We all have cheap, widespread access to nearly flawless audio-reproduction technology... and nothing to play on it.

For the record: I don't disagree with anything above.

My question was more about whether you need a lawyer to know you need a privacy policy... It was tangential, admittedly; sorry about that.

To make the direction of the tangent clearer (and please ignore it if it distracts from the main discussion too much): I'm in the EU, and I know that I'd need to read GDPR[1] before letting people see such an app. I haven't read it - I quite possibly would give up at Act 4 and decide I do need a lawyer. But my first instinct would be to go read the Regulation itself.

> It's quite common in machine learning operations to multiply a matrix of unsigned byte by a matrix of signed byte. Don't ask me why, but that's the case.

Overflow is the reason. Intel's vpmaddubsw takes int8_t and uint8_t to give you results in int16_t. If both are unsigned 255 * 255 = 65025 will be out of range for int16_t (−32,768 to +32,767) so likely the instruction is designed to take int8_t and uint8_t. However, if one is signed and other is unsigned extremes -128 * 255 or 127 * 255 are always in int16_t range. The overflow (or rather saturation with this instruction) can still occur because it sums adjacent multiplications. See my comment in PyTorch. https://github.com/pytorch/pytorch/blob/a37db5ae3978010e1bb7...
Costco's always interested me as a company. Still the only place where I pay to be able to shop. It's a personal point of pride whenever I go there and spend less than $100.

I've done this in the past with bugs in the grass. If I stare at a fixed point, I start seeing each individual bug moving through the grass, whereas normally they would be really hard to spot among all the fine details of the ground and grass blades.
so a small group of women made a unilateral decision that prevents others. again, it is just an example of one group making decisions without realizing (or caring) how it affects others.

the point is that every single decision can be construed as denying something to someone else when it was only made as a convenience for someone else. it's very strained here as not having a hood is just odd. Even if you only take the car in every 2 years, that cost of that service is going to be much higher because of the labor involved on removing the front just to access the engine rather than just popping the hood. We already have plenty of examples of cars where this has been the case

Compare to what end? The environment cares about total output, not per capita output.

They were talking to someone else so not sure what the point of this reply is?

If you don't want to use the site there's no problem with that, just don't use it. But this is in direct response to a claim "this site [with a brand new user account with no history] is unusable" which - if your goal is to use the site - is easily fixed.

If your goal is just to go "well I don't even use the site and you should try it and be as Good a person as I am" then it doesn't really matter either way.
You're much less likely to be able to get local talent into what amounts to indentured servitude, and local talent also is much more likely to want the real prevailing wage for their work. It's all just labor arbitrage.
This is why the job title will be something obscure like “AI Scientist” which isn’t something anyone calls themselves. Since no one fits the bill domestically, this allowed Zoom to hire one for $75k in San Jose, CA, one of the most expensive COL cities in the country.

I actually struggle to think of something "less-junk" than potentially providing tens of millions with cheap(er) access to the Internet. Who otherwise would be exploited for it. Or plain just wouldn't have it. Seems like one of the best-possible uses for orbit IMO.

Plus (and I'm no expert), I believe that since these satellites specifically require a rather low orbit, they're by-design quick to de-orbit in the case of disaster or destruction.
Probably. I want to laugh at the idea that "startups" need H1Bs but I should cry. If someone is really a "key employee" of a startup they can't be subject to a game of chance.

Google, IBM, Infosys and others who file thousands of them can easily play the numbers.

I quit the ACM because I couldn't accept their policy of 100% advocacy of H1Bs and joined the IEEE Computer Society because it refused to take a position. (An anti policy could be easily misunderstood)

I am not against immigration, in fact I've seen H1Bs put people in a terrible position -- I knew a brilliant data scientist who was being dicked around and I wanted to tell them "your skills are in demand and you can get a better job" but it wasn't true. This person would tell me about his struggles with immigration and realized my story that my ancestors left a failing agricultural economy in Quebec and the horrors of WWI in what was then Austria-Hungary and made a new home here would be cruel to recount to him.

Try and talk to the other seniors? Last time I joined (fully remote) I asked all the other seniors for a 1 to 1 - not all replied but I learnt a huge amount about past projects, what people would have done differently and where the pain points were. Meant I could get a jump on the issues rather than find out slowly. You also get a sense of the weather and who you can vibe with. Oh yeah, taking notes about everything!
> this thing about the "confidence levels of scientists" for climate change; there is a well-known issue with this myth of a "97% consensus" on that topic.

You're right, but what's your point? It's definitely above 80% and I've never met a climate scientist or someone working on adjacent research that doesn't believe it (given I've worked at national labs, that is a large number).

I do agree we shouldn't embellish things. That this actually undermines a point rather than strengthens it. If that's your point, I'm with you.

I also agree that a lot of stem people are too arrogant. This is especially common in CS and there's a strong negative stereotype that I think people should be aware of.

Honestly, it sounds like you strongly agree with my original statement. How science communication is doing serious harm to public perception of science. I'm not saying abandon education btw, just that we're doing a bad job when optimizing for views rather than strongly constraining for maintaining integrity and honesty
I know this will probably be an unpopular take on a forum of American software engineers —- but the reason the US even has a tech industry in the first place (and why the top 10 most valuable companies in the world is basically a list of former Silicon Valley startups), is because all the best talent wants to move here.

The basic misunderstanding of how value and jobs are created is mind boggling to me. We should fix the H1B program because it will make us all richer and better off, including the American engineers.

The import of goods is fundamentally different than the importing of talent. Importing goods boosts the competing countries economy. Importing talent strips competing countries of their best resources. Tech talent can create basically unlimited value due to the zero marginal cost nature of software replication.

Natives cost more, or, more generally speaking, they are less willing to cede ground on various dimensions (pay, hours, commute, benefits, COL, etc).

This can be framed as natives having higher standards of living, or natives being lazy, depending on who you ask.
