Nature park is still basically a zoo, and yes the lesser evil is the sacrifice of animal wellbeing to ensure that the masses of urbanized humans get to physically see these animals. It is an inevitable tradeoff and there is no way around it, no euphemism for zoos or general appeals about animal wellbeing can paper over that.

If the benefit of putting wild animals in small zoos is some sliver of human cultural contact with the wilds, then that calculus is worth it, however paradoxical and politically incorrect it may appear to be. That's the argument.

What terrifies me the most are elections for judges. I am not a legal scholar and I rely upon local bar associations for qualification ratings (and I’m not convinced I made the right call all the time); to my horror I’ve had educated colleagues tell me they just pick cool sounding names.
It depends on many things (country, market, skills, etc.) but I suspect the set is pretty large. But it requires actively looking and optimizing for doing what you love.

As a personal data point, after finishing my PhD and being sick of having no money I optimized for most money under a constraint of the job not being absolutely intolerable. Which, in hindsight, was not ideal. Over the next 25 years I switched to optimizing for the most interesting job under a constraint of money just being enough to pay my basic bills. This included passing on an offer from a hedge fund that would pay three times as much but seemed pretty soul crushing. Optimizing for what I love tends to eventually work well on money, too.

So I would absolutely not slam a door on a job in a bad market because I hate it, but I would keep looking. My 2c.
This is the part that impressed me the most! I know other editors "support" this kind of workflow, but opening "remote projects" via SSH is so clean and intuitive in Zed! I love that when you pop the terminal open on a "remote" Zed window, it just opens right in your remote host directory where you would expect.
Because the kind of people who listen to indie music are not thr same as those listening to pop music. Indie artists are valued for their originality or authenticity. Pop music is valued for the spectacle it puts on, not just the sound waves that come out of your earphones.

Personally I don't see any point in listening to AI generated music. It's not something I'll ever be interested in, certainly not something I'd be willing to spend money on
Ultra High Voltage transmission lines are a key component to load balancing the grid. Currently (no pun intended...) very expensive because so few countries do it (China (of course), then I think only Brazil?) but it means that power surges from renewables can be channeled to places which need to use it, without having to try and put the energy into storage. If team humanity can find the maturity to connect grids around the globe, we can solve the load balancing problem with a very elegant and obvious solution

> Mass transit has to operate at 5 minute intervals (so that you are waiting at most 10 to 15 minutes in the event of a missed connection).

Which is not only possible, but quite feasible. Upgrading to provide six-minute service 24/7 would only require a one-time investment of $300M, because it is projected to raise enough revenue to pay for itself in the long term.

Unfortunately the current governor is trying to cut transit funding again with her most recent budget proposal, so that's unlikely to happen anytime soon.

Most people barely use their computers in a way that different from mainframes/terminals age. They only have a couple software they use (and web apps) and have routines for them. Most don't even care for preferences. The applications, the OS, the hardware (if it's not a laptop) don't really matter.

Yes, the reason is that the model assigns words positions in an ever-changing vector space and evaluates relation by their correspondence in that space—the reply it gives is also a certain index of that space, with the “why” in the question giving it the weight of producing an “answer.”

Video series on the topic: https://www.3blue1brown.com/topics/neural-networks

Which is to say that “why” it gives those answers is because its statistically likely within its training data that when there are the words, “why did you connect line and log with paper” the text which follows could be “logs are made of wood and lines are in paper.” But that is not the specific relation of the 3 words in the model itself, which is just a complex vector space.
I disagree with your first statement. The amount of times I saw an opinion/statement/fact posted on Twitter, which required me to write a response longer than 120 characters, can't be counted on both hands. At these moments, I just give up because it's impossible to have a discussion in a chain of 5 Twitter replies to yourself.

Now, because these opinions/statements are not debated due to the fact that not everyone is willing to pay Elon for a set of blue pixels and the ability to post longer form content, they stay there, fueling the echo chambers of opinions that the authors' audience holds, never to be questioned again.

I exaggerate a bit, but I hardly believe I'm the only one who thinks "fuck this, I don't have time to spread my message to multiple tweets/restructure it to fit the character limitation/etc".
The pillars of the next generation in data security: zero trust and Web3
Out with old failing technologies, in with the new

Bain: “There are many areas where data security is hampered by the outdated attitudes and belief systems of the 2000s and 2010s. For example, modern security features shouldn’t compromise data use, data should be analyzed at insertion, data must be encrypted at all times and the data owner should decide who has access.
Only believing things that you can easily reason through if you are presented with some external authority really is a cognitive antipattern though.

I’d say that prologue was more medicinal than condescending. It’s good to remind people in the age of LLMs and ubiquitous search that “you can just think things.”
If you put a atomic clock like OCP-TAP Time Card with GNSS receiver in every server and use precision time protocol to sync them you should be able to synchronize quite a few servers to less than 100 nanoseconds.
> YouTube is absolutely filled to the brim with Patreon supported content.

Tell me how many of these content creators are exclusively supported by Patreon.

Also, ask any of these content creators (that supposedly are able to be sustained by Patreon) if they would be willing to move away from YouTube and into another platform like Peertube.

None of them will. Some of them won't mind creating the Peertube channel and distributing their content as well, but no one will leave YouTube, because they all know that YouTube is still the platform that enables all the economy to exist.

I'm not saying this because I don't like the Patreon model. Quite the opposite. [0]. But it's hard to argue with numbers, and the numbers are just not in favor of this idea that a whole industry can be supported by a minority of enthusiasts.

The missing piece of info here is that while most of the trains have the capability to do regen braking, it is generally ineffective because it can only be used if another train on the same section of track happens to also be accelerating at the same time.

That happens rarely enough that most of the trains, most of the time, do not effectively regen, and instead use mechanical or resistive braking.

Do large websites like Twitter and Facebook log every single POST / GET request?
I’m relatively inexperienced in handling large-scale applications, but I’ve recently been tasked with scaling a web application for a large city. One major challenge I’m facing is logging HTTP requests efficiently.

Currently, we use Kibana and keep logs for 4 weeks, and we’re handling around 1 million logs per day. As more service are added and traffic increases, I’m concerned about storage costs, performance impact, and best practices for managing logs at scale. Most of the devs working here are also fresh out of school with limited experience.

Given that platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit handle millions to billions of requests per day, do they log every single GET and POST request, or do they use sampling, aggregation, or filtering?

What are the trade-offs between complete logging vs. selective logging, especially in terms of performance, storage, compliance, and debugging?

If anyone has experience working with large-scale logging systems, I’d love to hear how different companies approach this problem. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Codenames is absolutely dead-center of what I expect Large Language Models to be good at. The fundamental skills of the game are: having an excellent embedding for word semantics and connotations; modeling other people's embeddings; a little bit of game strategy related to its competitive nature.

Reinforcement Learning

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reinforcement_learning
Fenwick trees are really interesting - I was implementing graph layout algorithms a few weeks ago, and it turns out they exactly answer the question of how many edges cross between two layers of a bipartite graph drawn with straight lines[1].

Or, in english, if you have a bunch of graph nodes and edges, and lay them out in straight lines horizontally and vertically in some fashion, with lines between them representing the edges, fenwick trees tell you how many of the lines that you draw run into each other [2].

This is normally an expensive thing to compute (the alternative is to use a standard line intersection calculation for every edge or something like this). However, it turns out fenwick trees directly encode and give you the answer.

So this is what ELK and Dagre and friends use to compute the number of edges that cross between layers as they do layout.

[1] see "Simple and Efficient Bilayer Cross Counting"

[2] In general, the graph is more visually pleasing to most people if you minimize the number of lines that cross. So most layout algorithms spend time rearranging the nodes to minimize edge crossings. It's NP-hard to make it optimal, so heuristics are used.
Apple's Newest Store Has a Dedicated Vision Pro Side Room
Store them in something like Google BigQuery, partitioned by day.

You pay very cheap for storage (since it is stored in Google Cloud Storage behind), almost nothing, and relatively somewhat expensive for each data you extract of the system.

No need for the interactive exploration, you can do queries on a case-by-case basis, worst case you pay to scan one day of logs (or less if you pay Reserved capacity, you pay a fixed price).

0 devops needed.

If you want a self-hosted big database that is easy and scalable for that usage, check ClickHouse.
In theory. The commuter rail I sometimes take follows an old rail right of way. Some of the stations are in fairly developed areas. But some of those, like Concord, presumably predate even the original rail. And a lot of the towns are pretty spread out. You can't walk to much until you get to the last two stops in the city proper.

Kinds of leverage that anchor effective strategies (2023)
Time and time again, from one industry to another, the bottleneck in progress remains human, or political, or social organization (whatever you wish to call it). No matter our technological progress since the Industrial Revolution this failure point appears to persist.

As my gardening instructor would tell our class: it’s not the features themselves that matter, but the relationships between features that define the system.

It’s been in vogue to hype up technical solutions (“more compute,” “yeah but when it gets better…” “we just need a few more years on this”) to all of these problems that deserve to be solved in the socio-political sphere. It’s often more effective to restructure a given systems’ relationships than to hope for magical boosts here and there.
It’s crazy that we have totally opposite views here.

This description from Know Your Meme[1] is accurate as far as I’ve seen the phrase used:

“Leopards Eating People's Faces Party refers to a parody of regretful voters who vote for cruel and unjust policies (and politicians) and are then surprised when their own lives become worse as a result. It has been commonly used to parody regretful Brexit and Trump voters.”

The parody here is essentially saying that if you supported the Republicans (Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party) and then you ended up being harmed (leopards ate your face) as a result of their policies that are explicit in their intent to harm people (we will eat people’s faces) despite thinking that you wouldn’t be harmed (“I never thought the leopards would eat __my__ face”) then you are a fool.

I definitely think it's doing more than that here (at least inside of the vector-space computations). The model probably directly contains the paper-wood-log association.
There’s a spectrum of reasonableness with technical interview questions—the process described in this post is unreasonable, but I think plain old fizzbuzz is about as reasonable as it gets. It’s actually pretty “real world” if the candidate will be writing code in their job.

It’s not a trick question nor does it require memorization or study to prepare. You’re not being given 20 minutes to solve something that requires knowledge of an algorithm that researchers worked on for decades that you’ve either practiced or will stumble through deriving from first principles—you’re writing a very simplistic function.
