Does it matter if it’s insurmountable? At some point, the benefits of a new FS outweigh the drawbacks. This happens earlier than you might think, because of weird factors like “this lets us retain top filesystem experts on staff”.

Japan isn’t actually going in that direction… as far as I can tell, there’s just a ton of “Japan is so weird” articles that get shared in the west. Like, articles about vending machines that sell used panties to perverts, or men who get mar

Sure, it’s possible that international trade would be less efficient. I think it’s more likely that liquidity providers / market makers would step in. These entities have gotten bigger and bigger over the past years.

We know that microphone use on iPhone requires an entitlement and if an app is actively using audio in the background, an indicator appears on the screen. This has been true for ages. I assume Android has something similar to this but I’m n

Glacier egress is less than it used to be, and you can use a combination of glacier + other storage classes using lifecycle rules. I would personally be fine running tests on data that is recently backed up and only testing the data in glac

I recommend worrying about any service where you don’t pay a fee that scales with usage. This includes Backblaze. Yes, I recommend worrying about Backblaze and I’ve recommended worrying about it for a while. Storage costs money. People love

I don’t think that this corresponds to the thing called “Frutiger Aero”. The Windows Aero style existed in 2004, and somewhere around 2017, the style Frutiger Aero was invented, partly based on those styles but partly new. Just like Vaporwa

“Trying way too hard” means “I don’t have anything material to add to the discussion, I just want to mock you for even caring about this.” Jeezus. Don’t write comments like that. It’s inappropriate.

There’s no justification given or source cited. You can’t just dig up a paper somebody wrote that agrees with you—you have to actually read the paper to understand what it says and what support it gives to that position. I see NO support fo

That’s dated 2023… am I missing something? The aesthetic did not exist in 2004. It was created in the late 2010s by juxtaposing materials from the early 2000s. This created a new style from old materials. The same way you might combine ar

All you have to do is recognize it as a statement of opinion. It’s not a “maneuver”, it’s just an argument, and you can disagree with it.

You’re making useful points but you’re also just choosing convenient definitions that make your point of view “correct”. The parent comment has a definition of “rights” that admits their existence… and I think what you’ve demonstrated is th

That’s unfairly harsh to statisticians, IMO. You have two fields of study, statistics and ML. There’s a massive overlap. Gatekeeping? Practitioners from these two fields have different jargon and view things differently from each other. “X

There’s a pedagogical reason to teach things with a kind of reductive definition. It makes a lot of sense. I remember getting cornered by somebody in a statistics class and interrogated about whether I thought neural networks were statistic

When you say it’s “obviously machine learning”, how could that statement possibly be correct? There’s not even broad consensus here… so you don’t get to say that your definition is obviously correct. There are pedagogical reasons why you’d

Sure… but CPU overhead is kind of a technical detail, not a flaw in the concept. When you have a conversation about microservices, 95% of the time, the conversation veers into these details like CPU overhead. I think that’s what the article

That’s too reductive—ML models are statistical models. Statistical models have parameters, and in general cases, you choose the parameters with some kind of optimization algorithm. If you play fast and loose with your definition of “ML”, yo

I think ML is in quotes for a reason—the reason is because the usage is not typical.

If you want to draw the line between ML and not ML, I think you’ll have to put Kalman filters and linear regression on the non-ML side. You can put support vector machines and neural networks on the ML side. In some sense the exact place yo

I think professional standards around titles should only be in place where there’s some underlying public interest. Like, you’re developing some land, and it turns out you need a geotechnical engineer. The engineer you hired is certified, t
