By the way, I'm mostly posting on Fediverse now (handle in bio) - I'm still lurking here though.

Inspired by @gabe_guerra_ launching DC systems, I went ahead and registered helsystems.xyz. If you're interested in attending or speaking, fill out the form there. If there are enough crazy systems people around here, we'll have ourselves a meetup!

It is incredibly cool to see these meetups continue to pop up around the country/world. I am psyched to support this effort, giving a talk on the basics of distributed consensus.

@arcatan blindspots around their feelings such that they think they are being reasonable and dedicated to the truth but are actually upset

ayyyy TPOT I know some of you want in on this
another thing I don’t mention here is VIEW is basically presence training (it’s super enjoyable)
but while interacting with someone
and not cursed like circling

I’m joining the cohort again this September. Give me a shout if you’ll be there :) Affiliate link (with discount): view.life/Lulie

@metaLulie Huh, why are rationalists big on covert aggression?
English
- no guardrails
- social taboos temporarily suspended
- very steep learning curve
- propensity for someone to get triggered, someone else to be triggered by this, spiralling bad social dynamics b/c no rules
- rationalist circling is especially cursed. covert aggression, oblivious

I am writing a book on your favourite topic: latency!

Just released 0.1.0 version of oksa, a library for generating GraphQL queries using Clojure data structures. New version introduces a way to construct queries using an API.

@penberg How do you measure the vector similarity by the way? Cosine similarity?
English
The task of retrieving most relevant information now becomes a search for data embedding vectors that are most similar to the embedding vector of our prompt, for example. But how do we search for similar vectors when there's lots and lots of them?

What is vector search and how does it work?
I have been working on reproducing the "LM-DiskANN: Low Memory Footprint in Disk-Native Dynamic Graph-Based ANN Indexing" paper by Yu Pan et al (2023), and thought I'd share my notes to demystify what vector search means.

spent my lunch break today coming up with ways that the Kate Middleton story would turn out if it were being investigated by various fictional detectives

Two of the biggest source of incidents I’ve seen are:
1. Legacy code
2. Migrating away from legacy code
The conclusion is clear: you should only write non-legacy code

@mkpaa Sataisipa vettä niin sitten olisi ehkä luonnonjäät luistelukunnossa 🤔
Suomi
Sääennusteet lupailevat sellaista, että jos tämän yön sade tulee kokonaan lumena eikä vetenä, niin Helsingin pyörätiet/jalkakäytävät pysyvät luistelukunnossa vielä ainakin pari viikkoa. Nastoilla ajellessa pärjää hyvin, mutta ilman ei ollenkaan.

@defnotbeka It does help with binding! Since it has a different effect on the texture than egg, it doesn't suit every recipe, so it needs a bit of experimenting
English
@arcatan fascinating! i should try it in baking. it seems like a maybe reasonable egg substitute for binding?
English
tried adding psyllium husk to pancakes and it just gets very gloopy and takes forever to cook and doesn't contribute much if anything, but it makes the batter very cum like lol

So, we lost the battle to define observability. You know it, I know it. Observability was supposed to *mean* something, and in the early days, it did.
"Observability" once meant the kind of exploratory, open ended investigation our systems increasingly demand.
English
@eatonphil Seriously speaking I think it's a good idea though, esp. for the ecosystems like npm where the dep trees really go deep
English
@eatonphil Shallow metrics can't stop me - I will vendor the universe
English
In this little sidebar for a repo, GitHub should report number of transitive dependencies and transitive lines of code.
It's not the only metric, but it's a metric. Might help with every library bundling the universe.

Heard joke once: man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him."

@Stefferi Tässä on muuten suht. tuore artikkeli libertarismin historiasta Suomessa käyttäjältä @IKarryla. Siinäkin on samansuuntaisia havaintoja, että vaikka libertaari liike on ollut pieni, sen ideat ovat päässeet vahvasti esille. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…
Suomi
Voi miettiä vaikka, kuinka moni korona-ajan lockdowneja, maskeja, rokotuspakkoja jne. vastaan esitetty argumentti pohjimmiltaan oli libertarismiretoriikan suoraa soveltamista. Toki Suomessa osa libertaareista veti yllättäen vahvasti toiseen suuntaan, varmaan kuolemanpelon takia.
Suomi
Libertaareja on vähän, mutta on omituista väittää, että näiden merkits olisi olematon. Vaikka ohitettaisiin esim. Randin merkitys amerikkalaiselle kulttuurille, jo libertaarien vaikutus ns. Kalifornian ideologian muodostumiseen on valtava ja kumuloituva. metamute.org/editorial/arti…
Heikki Pursiainen@pursiain
Libertaarien murjominen on myös yksi itsensä helpolla päästämisen muoto. Libertaareja on vähän ja heidän merkityksensä on täysin olematon. Koskaan kukaan ei kannata libertarismia, voimme kaikki puhkua tyytyväisinä sen kauheuksille. 12/

@tekknolagi Good stuff. I tried to use Ninja for something and it was almost great but using file mtimes to detect changes wasn't a good fit - but looks like Turtle addresses that issue by using content hashing instead

Given the cost of blocking, asynchronous code reviews, I'm surprised more teams haven't experimented with eliminating them.
What bad things would happen if you just integrated changes? Are those bad things happening already? What else could you do to avoid those problems?
