It augments inertial navigation.

Airflow can be frustrating but when it works it is so satisfying.

After using Argo Workflows, I don't think I will ever return to Airflow. Kubernetes is not an easy system to manage, but managing an Airflow setup is somehow worse. The story around disaster recovery and scheduler redundancy was an absolute nightmare for me.

Argo workflows is much more painful for data processing than Airflow in my experience.

It’s a tradeoff. Ease of modeling the pipelines vs ease of managing the infrastructure. Im not really a fan of either syntax for defining DAGs, but they're the best options out there imo.

I think mistaking Airflow for a mere "task scheduler" is part of that frustration.

centralized for many computers.

The Windows Task Scheduler is actually very nice and powerful. One cool trick is to have a task triggered by a windows event.

Job's diet didn't kill him. Not getting his cancer treated was what killed him.

Yes, we also covered that jumping off buildings doesn't kill people. The landing does.

Indeed if you're a base jumper with a parachute, you might survive the landing.

Ackshually, this seems analogous to Job's diet and refusal of cancer treatment! And it was the cancer that put him at the top of the building in the first place.


I had teachers tell me all kinds of wrong things also. LLMs are amazing at the Socratic method because they never get bored.

Best you can do is to split your crypto among many different hardware wallets and some metal cold storage wallets. Maybe even try to memorize at least one wallet password. It just seems so stressful.

Exactly. Crypto is like having all of your money as cash that thieves can teleport out of your safe. It must be incredibly stressful to have most of your wealth in crypto knowing this.

For me the AI seems to actually understand the meaning of my search term and is usually accurate and helpful. It is an improvement over how bad Google had become when it randomly deleted search terms.

That clock hasn't actually been built yet and it wouldn't be useful for guiding nuclear missiles.

I mean, than nucleus is much heavier and much smaller than electron, so it will be much less affected by external forces. We may see no difference between sea level and space based Thorium-229 clocks, or difference will be much smaller.

ICBMs can be aimed as accurately as they need to be with current inertial navigation technology.
