That all depends on the setup. The "standard" setup (not specific to MySQL) is:

- Single Write Leader per partition

- Backup Write Leader that is setup with synchronous replication (so WL -> WLB and waits for commit)

- Read Followers all connected asynchronously using either binlog replication (not recommended anymore) or GTID-based row replication (recommended)

In the above scenario, the odds of loss are pretty small since the Write Leader has a direct backup, and any of the Read Followers can be promoted to a Write Leader/Backup. DDIA calls the above semi-synchronous replication, although MySQL now supports a similar-but-slightly different version out of the box: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/replication-semisync...

One way to check could be to insert the serial number into various printer manufacturer's warranty check pages to see if anything pops up. Some companies (like Lexmark) require a model number first (which was not present for the example), but others (like Brother) will accept just a serial.

We largely do understand how to replicate the brain though. Obviously not exactly but the brain is malleable so thats fine. The problem has been that we dont have the hardware to multiply matrices fast enough. LLMs are still orders of magnitude smaller than a human brain. Same problem ray tracing has.

What kinds of Python programs would benefit from Signals? Most of the Python I've written is either small CLI tools that run to completion, or boring web servers using frameworks like Django that are request-response oriented, which also has a "run-to-completion" model for a request's handler code.

Also, I looked at your implementation, and your ComputedSignal implementation is not sound - it can give inconsistent results with respect to the input signals depending on the ordering of reads when you have a ComputedSignal that depends on other ComputedSignal.

Yeah, that was my point: these rules aren't really preventing counterfeiting, because even if you were allowed to print currency on a home printer, it wouldn't work, because it would be trivially obvious as fakes. It sounds like you are saying that making trivially obvious counterfeit bills is still possible, which seems like it even further supports the fact that these rules aren't very useful.

I'm not sure this works any better than the privateers example.

> If your argument is that machine guns didn't exist in the late 1700s therefore they're not covered by the second amendment, then surely the internet isn't covered by the first amendment and you should be able to be arrested for any online comments you make, right?

It has exactly the same sorts of widely-supported exceptions. I can't exercise my freedom of speech via threats, fraudulent claims, false advertising, lying to a FBI agent, etc. I can, and should be, arrested for such things.

(I also like to think modern social media and its societal impact would give the Founders some pause.)
I mean I don't trust Google as far as I can throw a TPU datacenter, but they are promising 7 years of OS updates on Pixel. And so are companies like Samsung. Many others offer 3, and even the low-rent "we have your money... I mean... who dis?" manufacturers are offering 2, so it's not like Android is going anywhere. There are just too many players. Honestly, I wouldn't get a Pixel because they are uninspired devices, not because Google will stop supporting them tomorrow.

What does seem to be happening is that the core "user facing" Android (vs all the AI stuff and Play Services-based apps like Maps) is getting more and more settled as a stack and Google is cutting development staff to reflect that. To be fair, I can't speak deeply as to what's happening under the hood, just the touchy bits.

My phone started with Android 9 and is now on Android 15. 10, 11 and 12 all had (compared to now) larger changes. However, if you held a gun to my head and asked me what has changed with Android 13 and on, my answer would be "stuff seems a little rounder" ...and maybe a new font? But it sorta just feels like a new version of the old font. You just don't need that many people for Android's current evolution rate. Which really sucks for all the folks losing their jobs.

George Mason was an anti-federalist arguing his opposition to the Constitution. When he says "They consist now of the whole people" he is referring to the present moment under the Articles of Confederation. He goes on to argue his opposition to the constitution, saying:

> If that paper on the table gets no alteration, the militia of the future day may not consist of all classes, high and low, and rich and poor; but they may be confined to the lower and middle classes of the people, granting exclusion to the higher classes of the people. If we should ever see that day, the most ignominious punishments and heavy fines may be expected.

He very clearly believed that the federal government under the Constitution would have the power to determine who did and did not belong to the Militia which is one of many reasons he voted against ratification. He also clearly believes that the federal government has the task of regulating it given the talk of punishments and fines, though he seems fine with that as long as they are reasonable. That it was ratified in that form makes your referenced quote an argument against your reading of the second amendment.
The CLETS database LACSD used includes non-conviction records, investigative records, gang affiliations, and other data that aren’t part of the proper background check process. For example, if you were arrested but never charged, or if you’re a known gang member without any convictions, those records would be in CLETS but not in the system they’re legally supposed to use for concealed carry permits (CCPs).

State law doesn’t allow this kind of non-conviction information to be used in CCP decisions, so this was an overreach. (previously you had to be of "good moral character" and have "good cause" to get a CCP, but these have been replaced with objective criteria)

You could argue that having more information might lead to better decisions on who gets a permit, but that’s not what the law allows—and letting police pull extra data whenever they feel like it creates obvious risks of abuse.
There’s an optimal middle ground and physical real world communities built around a shared interest generally fit this well- you still get a diversity of people, but they all want to be together for a reason.

1) Not everyone can cook, but great cooks can come from anywhere. SWE @ FAANG is a high bar, not everyone can reach it. Being older will make it more difficult. But it is not impossible and the only way to find out is to try.

2) Given you have no prior CS background, I would recommend finding a undergraduate / graduate program. I would heavily recommend internships / part-time work as a student. The easiest way to get into FAANG is via return offer for internship. You should practice SWE interviewing and prepare a lot for those interviews, they are a big blocker for many roles, and interviewing techniques are not commonly taught in university.

3) Depends on if you want to do research or engineering and how good you are. I don't think you should worry about this problem now though, you aren't at the stage where specialization matters. Just learn about what interests you.

I think if you're serious about your goal of making it into FAANG, the best-case timeline would be ~5 years. I would break down your goal into smaller ones (Graduation, first internship, first job, etc) along the way to maintain momentum.

The game is definitely worth the grind financially though. Best of luck!

From what I understand in the topic the original Pokemon card inventor is involved in this as is a renowned card grading company (knowingly or not I leave out of the question).

So if this stirs up a large controversy, it might actually make the fakes, especially the signed ones, collectibles as well. Probably never the value they first had, but I hope the wistle blower can recover some of his losses.

Ye I think a big problem might be that those who raises concerns about a specific vaccin might be tauted as "anti-vaxxers". Like, how crack pots and tin foil hats have been used to discredit proper regime critics.

The mask thing was a great messup. Going from "it does nothing" to "you must wear them" is not very pedagogical.
What we used to do when I was a kid (before online stores were common to use, and had ~4 hours to the closest store selling magic cards so only got a new pack once a fortnight) was to use plastic sleeves for the whole deck. Then you can't really ser from the back if it's a printout or a real card.

That particular quote does not really support the presumption here. In that debate, as with most ratifying debates around the constitution and the bill of rights, the concern is that the federal government not usurp the ability of states to arm their militias.

That quote in context [1] clearly is about who the members of the militia are drawn from, not the implicit militia-ness of all citizens. He even states this explicitly later in the same argument: "Under the present government, all ranks of people are subject to militia duty".

In the end, they wrote what they wrote and they ratified what they ratified -- "the right of the people" and not the right of the "several states" or the "militia of the several states" as is used elsewhere in the document. So it's a right of the people, period, and "keep and bear" has a plain meaning (Scalia wrote something to the effect of "you cannot interpret 'he filled and kicked the bucket' to mean 'he filled the bucket and died').

Some state constitutions (contemporaneous and known to the authors of the constitution) carved out an explicit self-defense or individual right to arms, but this language was not encoded into the second amendment.

Whenever I encounter quotes from the constitutional ratification debates that purport to claim an individual right to keep and bear arms, on closer inspection in context, they are arguing about states vs. federal authority, not an individual right. If you choose to respond by offering other supporting quotes, please give a link to the full context and due consideration of it, because I have yet to see an actual quote that holds up.

Thank you! Looks like CGC is in a tough spot. The grading guide struck me as quite vague.

> CGC Cards utilized all the tools at our disposal to help document and authenticate these cards, compiling vast resources for comparison with future submissions. A very thorough process is in place for the authentication and grading of these cards using ones verified by Mr. Akabane.

In an ideal world, it seems like there should be publicly shared, repeatable methods/standards for authenticating cards to avoid issues (whether complicit or an honest mistake) like this from a single central authority.
I thought it was less that you could predict across packs and more that you could infer what card had been taken given what was left. That meant you had a better chance of not getting cut during the draft.

I really like the welch labs series on imaginary numbers which covers the first part of what you talk about -- leveling up the notion of what a complex number is. Though his focus was more on solving simple equations with no real roots, but really detailing how/what is really going on.

> In a game where there are rules about deck content, but scarcity around the existence of cards, I don’t see the ethical problem with counterfeiting a card for personal use.

Where there are high prices of cards, any convincing counterfeit would be poor optics. Game play with non-convincing counterfeits is accepted in many places (i.e. proxies).
The commercial printers are fine for all normal uses and absurdly cheap. Ink, less so.

Whereas 3D printers are a niche tech for tinkerers; playing with building the printer is as much a part of the fun as actual usable output.
That’s a bad take.

The biggest usage of stablecoins would be as a hedge on crypto itself. Don’t like where the current market, park it without needing to off-ramp and then on-ramp again when the conditions change.

And now that you’re in crypto-land 24/7, no need to skip weekend movements because offices are closed or accounts don’t get updated until Monday morning.
Slick UI, curious how practical the workflows actually are. My suspicion is that this is automating the part humans would want to do (designing the workflow), whereas most of the hours put into workflow automation is integration (90% of which is not going to be a clean REST API).

That said, maybe this would be really valuable to someone doing a greenfield project without needing to back into existing workflows. Either way, cool project.

Eight years ago I still had hope that he would become "Presidential" and that the checks and balances system would work. I did not think it was the end of the world. I thought it would be bad for minorities and LGBTQ and women (and look at that, it was!).

But this time around, there is a published playbook and he's following it to the letter. Signing an EO to establish a concentration camp in Cuba (where they conveniently don't have to follow US law since it isn't US soil) is in Project 2025, and that happened yesterday. P2025 also includes the steps for consolidating executive power, and he's already taking those steps.

The inevitable conclusion of Project 2025 is allowing the billionaires to loot the Treasury, rounding up all the non-white people, and stripping most everyone of their rights.

I am not hopeful.

It's tempting to speculate about what might happen in the very long run. And different from the jobs question, I don't really have strong opinions on this.

But it seems to me like you might not be sufficiently taking into account that this is an adversarial game; i.e. it's not sufficient for something just to replicate, it needs to also out-compete everything else decisively.

It's not clear at all to me why an AI controlled by humans, to the benefit of humans, would be at a disadvantage to an AI working against our benefit.
