You are an intelligent adult, and still, you cannot openly admit to what you truly want. Even children can do that.

Wise old man archetype is borderline extinct.

Boomers were rewarded w/ assets & cost of living for their time, but are paying for it in a more severe way; it's spiritual. Blocked from entering this final stage of development every generation before them had access to. One in which their accumulated wisdom was worth 100x any form of high intellect the inexperienced youth might possess. They get scammed left and right. As vulnerable as the elderly.

World accelerated too quickly for the decline in their neuroplasticity to have any chance of keeping up.

At this point listening to advice from many of even the most well-intentioned boomers is almost guaranteed to worsen your life.

Best advice I ever received from my first boss;

Learn rules to break them.

Whatever line of work you're in, learn the rules inside out.

Then learn the consequences of what would happen if you break them.

Then break them if it means putting you or someone else in a better position.

When you break a rule you will be faced with consequences.

Those consequences will announce themselves to you, and how you prepare will require you to justify yourself and face probable punishment.

What makes you exceptional, is your ability to voluntarily break rules when you deem necessary, prepare to justify yourself, and face the punishment with courage knowing that you broke it for a just cause.

If you cant do that, then you deserve no raise or promotion.

You deserve no responsibility. You stand for nothing, in or outside work.

The exceptional, over deliver on their job description, and have the ability to break the rules when necessary.

Then bravely face punishment.

Become the best at what you do, maintain your integrity, and be fearless when breaking rules.

Force the bosses to go easy on you.

If your intention upholds integrity, then everything is permitted.

Learn the rules, to have the ability to break them.

The data we store on S3 is replicated multiple times to make sure it is never lost (even in the event of a disaster). If they simply stored multiple copies of the data, it would get expensive very quickly at the exabyte scale.

This is where erasure coding gives you the same durability for a fraction of the storage cost. Let me explain...

The idea is simple: split your data into k chunks, then compute m extra parity chunks from them, for a total of n = k + m chunks spread across different disks or nodes. You can lose any m of those n chunks and still reconstruct the original data.

Standard storage class of S3 uses an erasure coding scheme, around 9 data shards and 4 parity shards, spread across multiple availability zones. That gives 99.999999999 percent (eleven nines) durability while using roughly 1.5x the actual data size.

This would have been 3x for a naive triple replication, and thus, the additional cost is pretty low with erasure coding.

The parity math comes from Reed-Solomon codes, the same technique used in QR codes. Given any k of the n total chunks, you can solve a system of linear equations to recover the rest. You can read the Reed-Solomon wiki page for more details, or ask your fav LLM.

By the way, here, the tradeoff is compute.

Reconstructing missing chunks needs CPU cycles to run the decoding math, while replication just reads a copy. Reconstruction also gets slower as you increase the number of parity shards, since the math involves larger matrices.

This is why systems tune k and m carefully. Too few parity shards and durability suffers; too many and reconstruction becomes more expensive.

By the way, Erasure Coding is the reason cloud storage is both cheap and durable at the same time. Just a bunch of encoding math at play.

Hope you found this interesting.

No one even looks at decks, only the team slide. Only retardmaxxing aura blasters have a chance at success. Otherwise doom

Broke people are addicted to information, rich people are addicted to execution.

[Machiavelli Bot @UnmodernmanBot]

Humans demand fairness only when they’re losing. When advantage is on their side, they call it merit. When it shifts away, they call it injustice. Human nature bends morality around incentive; the wise study incentives first and ethics second.

A hard pill to swallow. If your parents never built wealth they cannot teach you how to build wealth. Love them but find new teachers.

I also left ✝️ but came back to God thanks to coming in touch with Hinduism.
I just checked Wikipedia on Hinduism and understand, why nobody would consider Hinduism as preferable, because the most important aspect is left out - what is really true and can be experienced.

Belief in Jesus to be God is helpful in life but is forever blind belief.
There is also verifiable belief.

the Advaita philosophy of the Vedas claims the essence in us is one with Brahman – blissful, pure (thought-free) consciousness, like the waves are one with the ocean.

Jesus said many things in tune with Advaita like,
“the kingdom of heaven is within you”
“I and my Father are one”.
Did he claim only he is one with God or is it the dogma of the Church?
He allegedly said, “I am the truth, life, way”. Did he say “I am” (pure consciousness) is the truth, life, way??
A pity that India’s wisdom is not known in the west. it’s probably intentional.

Instead of looking back to childhood as the blissful period of my life, I find that I have been growing happier every year. Truth, the true, the beautiful, the divine — these have constantly risen clearer and brighter before me.

[kache @yacineMTB]

are layoffs really that much of a risk and on people's minds? you guys do realize that if you make the company on average more money than you cost them, they'll never lay you off.. right?

we’re now in the timeline where hardware appreciates in value.

which is pretty ridiculous.

@MT_6226 Buddhism needed state patronage to survive

Hinduism didn’t

That is the big difference
