The weight loss is not really what matters. anybody can lose weight. with a little education you can do it. the problem is doing it in a sustainable way and to actually keep it off. the hardest part about weight loss is keeping it off. you

what is the AI singularity? a super-intelligent entity.

by mirceal 8y ago
it depends on how old you are, but I think you may be right that AGI still needs on the order of hundreds of years to happen.

what do you understand by super-intelligence?
425.
by mirceal 8y ago
haha. maybe no computer by the current definition of computer. but I would say that it's a bit extreme to say humans are going to be the only higher intelligence species. the only thing that I think we should have disagreement on is if

this is too broad. i think that may actually be the problem: in theory it can do a lot of things, but in the real world it’s hard to get all those theoretical benefits. for me, if you’re in the cloud you don’t need k8s. your favorite cloud

hah. i actually have this in my list of book I recommended to junior developers. it’s not about software but the way of thinking and approaching the problem will make you a better software developer.

having played with wireguard I can definitely say that it takes something that used to be complicated and makes it trivial (ie setting up a vpn server). it almost feels too easy compared to the openvpn monstrosity. now that they have an iph

I will disagree. Being alive or dead should not impact what others can do as far as your privacy goes. I would also extend this to any technology available in the future. Facial recognition is interesting, but let’s think about more advance

that’s not entirely true. while your warm lambdas can and will take the traffic it your traffic ramps up, additional lambda instances will be spun up. you will pay cold start prices as they are spinning up. so, even if you have a heavily us

Have a look at my project: https://cattlepi.com/ It gives you the ability to basically control what your Pi does (provisioning included) via an API.

Ha. Even if it’s true (don’t know if it is) it’s impressive to see M$ come back from the dead.

Yes, yes. The Google “way”. Because everyone has the same issues google has and wants to solve them in the same manner. /s Google lost the Cloud Train. They need to focus on things that work and I would not be surprised if GCP was no

Book re-seller. Hahaha. May have been true at some point but right now it’s THE CLOUD PROVIDER. The only other player in the cloud is Azure. Everyone else is struggling to stay relevant.

WA state for example: between 3-10% of bats submitted for testing are found to be rabid (this is from the DOH website). Yes, 10% is the high number in some years.
441.
by mirceal 8y ago
Yes and when a bat has a 10% chance of carrying rabies you get a rabies shot it you come into contact with one. Yes, the odds of you getting it are small, but the downside is that if you do get it you’re almost guaranteed to die.
442.
by mirceal 8y ago
To be fair, in quite a few places bats are the main rabies infection vector.

I think PKD does this in many of his works.

there is PID and there is "PID" applying this to a software system is a little bit easier as because you don't have the limitations of a physical systems (the performance of the system are highly dependent on the transducers

Nope. You need to make more than you’re paid (on average of course). If this does not happen it does not make sense keeping you around.

2 years in one place raising flags? Hahah. No. Good places where you want to work are more than glad to get strong engineers working for them, even just for a couple of years. In the age of the cloud 2 years is an eternity. Be careful not t

I believe you may be overthinking it and that is taking its toll on you. You don't know what you expect and you're making judgement based on what you're observing your colleagues do. Here is my advice to you: Step 1) Get a me

people are definitely suckers for complexity. Complexity of a system actually creates meaning for people that do understand it and can navigate it. Complexity also justifies headcount and effort put towards maintaining, enhancing something.

For me Sinatra is great. It’s the minimum you can get away with in a lot of situations. The whole thing is like 1-2000 lines of code (so totally feasible to actually read all of the code). The limits the author has run into are not necess
