ta93754829··on A student’s desire to get out of a exam led to a compression algorithm
Once ChatGPT was trained on "the internet of 2021", how big is the remaining model? Is ChatGPT effectively a compressed version of the internet?
ta93754829··on Qubits 30 meters apart used to confirm Einstein was wrong about quantum
ok so super laymen dumb question, because I have very little understanding of the physics...

but could the entanglement process itself be "encoding" the behavior on each of the entangled qubits? if i spin something, and split it in half and move one half away from the other, it's still going to be appear "entangled"

ta93754829··on Steven Spielberg: ‘No film should be revised’ based on modern sensitivity
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped.

ta93754829··on Ask HN: Advice about aging parents
i just want to say, I concur with this sentiment. A fall and "simple broken hip", unfortunately is usually the beginning of the end. Sadly I've witnessed it several times. It just kicks off a chain reaction of events that leads to most old people not coming back from it.

Lifespan... never before in history has so much disappointment been felt by so many by so few words.
ta93754829··on Elixir v1.10
I'm curious to know more about the total cost of ownership of Elixir.

What's it like finding other developers with experience?

How long does it take to train people up?

How easy to understand the code base is it for developers who are 2 generations down from those that wrote it?

How good is the tooling/support/interoperability? When I'm using X service, do they already have an SDK are do I have to build it from scratch every single time because I'm using Elixir and not say Java or .NET.

What's the general level I have to hire at? Can the "average" developer (who's not that great let's be honest) learn it and be productive or do I need to hire very good developers for every seat (read more expensive)

I feel like language features and syntax is close to the bottom of things to consider...

they're called Generals
ta93754829··on Event Sourcing is Hard
that basically says Vector Clock, which is a good solution for where it's usually applied, but I think this is different. Having everything bottlenecks through your vector clock isn't going to be feasible.
ta93754829··on Event Sourcing is Hard
One of the problems I think I see with event sourcing is its inability to scale. You have to guarantee the order of events, right? How do you do that in a large scale distributed system with eventual consistency, without incurring an insane synchronization time penalty? I'd genuinely love to hear if you have a good solution for this, because if you do I have a use case I need it for, so this ain't a troll comment!
