it won't be that big. After 1962, Mao was the Chinese Primier and Nehru was Indian PM.

Right after the cuban missile crisis was solved, UK and US started dropping military equipment to help India.

Mao then did a single handed ceasefire and retreated back to the original places.

then a peace summit happened and India China decided to not indulge in a firefight at the border again.

And now China had started meddling in Indian affairs, after weeks of tensions, I don't know what Indian govt did, but tensions were de escalated.

Yes, sadly, both sides lost lives, but the thing is CCP has now claimed a Russian port of Vladivostok (I read in the news), it has claimed Bhutan, and Ladhak in India and it has always claimed Arunachal Pradesh (India)

I help companies find bare metal options for training models. It’s usually 10-20% the cost of cloud.

Email me lanec (at) hey (dot) com if you’d like to speak.

Last year I took a company spending $24k/month training visual AI and cut that down to $3,500/month with bare metal. I also helped them secure over $100k in cloud credits to cover the monthly costs until the transition could happen.

Training in the cloud is generally much more expensive than bare metal.
There’s an interesting angle about which definition you use for constitutes a good business. There is robust demand for good quality toys (e.g. LEGO, Brio, Melissa & Doug) but it’s relatively stable because not everyone wants to buy in the higher price ranges, demand is finite, and making quality toys means you’re competing against yourself because many toys are passed down to siblings and resold or gifted locally.

If you’re a parent that’s good, but if you’re trying to serve market expectations of constant growth you’re always under pressure to cut corners, and thus the long-term future of your brand, since the business can’t grow rapidly without a baby boom. LEGO clearly hit escape velocity but they seem more like an outlier.
I'd disagree. The purchaser is an adult, but the customer is not. Who gets excited about a particular toy? That's the customer. (Note: I'm not talking about the edutainment market here)
I don't think it's really a problem of scale, it's more of a problem of a lack of worker's rights and strong labor unions.
Mental Health Blog – Borderline Personality Disorder
CHECK IT OUT! <3

My niche is mental health; specifically BPD. Mental Health has just recently been a topic that is finally getting awareness and conversations started but BPD is one of the "least common" disorders mentioned. I suffer from BPD and of course like any human being - I started to do some research. Sadly, not much out there other than scientific studies with their PhD jargon. I want to use Medium as a way to bring awareness and a community - I want others to feel that they are not alone, and to also bring more readable knowledge on BPD. No one wants to read a dry statistic study that essentials leads to - yeah clinicians don't know why you feel like this or how to best treat it. My top priority and reason for sharing my story/thoughts on BPD is because I want it out there so someone can stumble upon it while they're googling their disorder at 2AM and know it's going to be OK and you are not alone with this complex disorder that is still dormant in the mental health world. This is where I need your help! Please read share, repost and stay tuned in!

Wow. That it... so cool. I had no idea.

I've heard the "Lego sets are worse now" meme for so long I just assumed it was true.

But all those sets look utterly fantastic, and you're right -- even better than when I was a kid. I would have killed for all those.

Thanks for the info. For whatever reason, that just put me in a great mood to start my day. :)
I agree that programmers should know about (the existence of the concept of) ring buffers, hardware handshakes, interrupts, synchronous vs asynchronous and serial vs parallel data communications, error detection/correction systems, grey codes, Karnaugh maps and logic glitching, split clock domains, etc.

If you tell me “I don’t want to know about anything that I don’t need clearly and presently to accomplish my next task”, you’ve told me something important.
Honest question: how about buying less toys?

> I think we should get used to the idea of just letting stuff like this happen. What's the downside? Is it really so hard to type "main" instead of "master"?

> If someone were to open an issue "Please change master to main," and they were genuine about the request, I'd be like ... ok. And that would be the end of it. It's a s/master/main/g. Sure, whatever.

Not at all, it's just a question of who will pay to update all code and documentation to follow the new naming standards. That's not only the documentation of the project in question but also resolving issues when refering to external sources which also use master/slave terminology such as the MBus and related tooling.

> Why not let them?

Will they pay someone to make the changes or do they expect smaller places to shell out money to fix a non issue to avoid being associated with something they've never had any relation to? No? No change unless they either do the work themselves or pay for the cost of changing it.

> From my point of view, this is a big ball of "whatever, who cares, just do it." But my mind is open: can you convince me that it's important to resist this trend? Without invoking slippery-slope arguments?

There isn't really much of an argument for implementing it other than being pushed into exile by others if you don't. Resisting it would mostly come down to the cost of yet another cosmetic change that does nothing other than cost hours of work with no real reason than some being "offended" by well established terms.

In the end, this is a change where I just don't see the merit of. In the end it seems to be the practice of banning being easier than understanding what it's actually used for and comming up with a solid argument for change. It's not the burden of those sitting on `master` branches to explain why not but rather those suggesting this change to provide at least something which hints to the change being worth the effort.
That's what your quote says. However, what it also says is that functionality is only available for Go versions, and therefore Go standard library versions. It is not functionality available around third-party libraries that are developed independently of the Go release cycle.

Yikes. Would you want to work in an environment where all your coworkers acted like this? Your suggestion may be necessary in a cut-throat workplace, but I'd be more inclined to GTFO and work somewhere that my team members actually try to help each other, instead of always acting in their own self interest.

Yeah looking at the thickness of most camera covers, I always thought "hmm this might damage the display if I close it". Well looks like this support article proves my point. I always used sticky notes or other stuff. Now thought I've got a standalone webcam that can tilt up and down so I just tilt up so it's facing my ceiling.

I look forward to getting extorted by hackers threatening to tell the world what my ceiling looks like.
>But not everything can be automated, because some situations are more complex

This is where you lost me. You are very right that brains do all kinds of things to regulate the body that we don't usually think of as influencing thought. But we can't model those because they're too complex? I don't think environmental variables are too complex.

But (1) if those are important, we can model them too and (2) it may be that we don't need to model computer 'thinking' after the structure of human brains anyway to solve problems intelligently. And (3) the totality of things an AGI might be 'aware of', even without simulating biology, could very well mean that the 'intelligence' of a system is nestled in a complex web of variables that give it the ability to have the equivalent of our tacit knowledge. That's probably an informational question rather than a question of needing to simulate biology.
The next step: dumplings2vec, or some other dimensionality reduction.

BTW: I am curious about word vectors for dumplings. For each dumpling kind, there is some variation of servings, size, culture and everything. I guess that the word usage tells a lot.

Rust is actually a byproduct of OCaml and to a lesser extent Haskell. This becomes obvious the more you use it, especially if you’ve written substantial code in either of those languages before. To really drive this home, I’d wager that you have a better chance of translating OCaml or non-fancy Haskell straight into Rust than you do C++.

That might indicate that "clearly and presently to accomplish my next task" keeps changing.

Just to illustrate the third point:

Our company's video conferencing software has multiple "modes" for a conference call, which the moderator could configure. Hardly anyone ever changed the mode, but at one point while trying to configure something unrelated I ended up switching modes in the middle of the conference call. To my horror the software immediately turned on everyone's camera.

Luckily the strain of streaming 40 video feeds to everyone 40 participants pretty much locked up the call, but for a brief moment I was able to enable approximately 40 cameras from people who were just sitting in their houses, who knows how dressed or what was going on behind them (I tried not to look).

I'm pretty sure we can apply Hanlon's Razor here and assume it was just an innocent bug: it's not hard to see how joe programmer might have overlooked the default settings when the mode is changed during some completely unrelated refactor. But whatever the case, as long as video conferencing remains lucrative vendors will continue to pack features into the software, and as long as they keep adding features, they will continue to create additional edge cases to trigger these incidents.
> A smarter approach would be what Tim Sweeney is talking about with Fortnite (and Amazon infamously does): you have to do everything you can to pivot any initial success into a durable advantage, by aggressively expanding into adjacent opportunities, even if they're very different businesses (e.g. movie theaters).

Do you have any links to articles related to that? Would love to learn more about their strategy.
But unions have far stronger incentives to push for higher wages than governments do.
I'd suggest reaching out to AWS about this. Explain the situation. AWS has a number of programs for startups that you may be able to apply for, including one that includes 100k worth of credits.

Also, if you can't afford to scale to new customers... stop? I'm sure it probably sucks, but like, does it suck more than having no runway? Seems like you'd be best served slowing things down and spending some time with AWS on cost optimization.

There aren't a lot of details to go off of here so I don't know what more advice to give.
Just downloaded it and it does in fact have variable playback speed!
I wish we hd float hardware that tracked epsilon for you. Floats would be two values with epsilon being updated on each operation.

Then a comparison would take epsilon into account instead of just a bit match.
I am a paper HAM, that is a derogatory term in the amateur radio community for us operators who only have a license and don't use it.

In short, it sucks. HAM radio is full of old weird people, talking about bodily functions. Wanna go to a HAMfest? If you're under 50years old, you well get weird looks. And weird interactions. The learning curve is brutal to do anything other than exchange callsigns with randos, or talk to old people about communism and their bodily functions.

HAM radio has outlived its usefulness. It is really sad, and I regret that. But there is just no point to it.
Maybe don't try that with Games Workshop stock.
> The entity who performs the act of cancelling isn't the employer who fires the "offender", but the angry mob who lobbies the employer to fire said person.

Boycotting, publicly denouncing or even attempting to convince an employer to fire someone falls within the bounds of legitimate free speech. The effects of cancel culture lie within the power of employers, platform owners, etc. The angry mob isn't putting a gun to anyone's head, they're just complaining loudly.

>The only solutions I can think of involve limiting the dissemination of false or exaggerated information and fact checking.

Which would, itself, be cibsuderedd Orwellian and denounced as an attempt to create a Ministry of Truth to punish wrongthink, all while questioning who gets to define what "falsehood" or "exaggeration" is, and who watches the watchers?

That's a solution, but it's one that the opponents of cancel culture would probably vehemently oppose as being no different than cancel culture itself.
Are you going to share it?
>Being unable to perceive color and color relationships does not equate to being unable to have knowledge of color and color relationships.

Yeah, I think that was their point. Whatever 'knowledge' we think we have with qualia is actually something that, functionally, we seem to be able to get along without and do just fine. Which makes you wonder what functional purpose we don't have by not having 'qualia'.
See also automerge [1], discussed at the end. They are currently working on performance improvements [2]. Quoting from the repo, "automerge is a library of data structures for building collaborative applications in JavaScript:

* You can have a copy of the application state locally on several devices (which may belong to the same user, or to different users). Each user can independently update the application state on their local device, even while offline, and save the state to local disk.

* (Similar to git, which allows you to edit files and commit changes offline.)

* When a network connection is available, Automerge figures out which changes need to be synced from one device to another, and brings them into the same state. (Similar to git, which lets you push your own changes, and pull changes from other developers, when you are online.)

* If the state was changed concurrently on different devices, Automerge automatically merges the changes together cleanly, so that everybody ends up in the same state, and no changes are lost. (Different from git: no merge conflicts to resolve!)"

So what you’re saying is because developers can’t control what they build they need to be stuck with services that limit what they can do so they don’t end up with big bills.

And that for cases like MLing it’s impossible to optimise costs.

Got ya.

I wasn't aware of that development, but wouldn't the ban on data encryption on HAM bands hurt that usecase? You wouldn't want someone else controlling your drone.

The class B shares don’t have the same power as the A shares, it’s still classist.

The expensive insurance thing is a hard thing to prove, it’s definitely an opinion rather than a fact. What I saw was the huge success Geico had with their advertising programs, and then every other insurance company deciding to run expensive ad campaigns. The costs of that marketing is paid for directly by the consumer, we’re paying to watch all these dumb characters and cavemen try to sell us car and home insurance, when it used to be a quiet thing you did at the bank.

Scraping isn't hacking, sure.

But I've witnessed some particularly aggressive scrapers bring a shopping site to its knees.

I've watched as multiple scrapers were launched at this site from different blocks of IP addresses. I spent some hours blocking these.

After spending even more time, I tracked down these IP blocks - from multiple countries - back to the one scraping company, who had obviously been hired by a competitor to scrape the entire site for its prices for the ranges of goods sold.

I consider such aggressive scraping to be a DDoS attack.
Backtracking is a very important concept, especially in whiteboard coding interviews. It is also often used to identify solutions that satisfy a given constraint.

After learning backtracking, I found that it changed the way I thought about problems. Rather than trying to "conjure up" a magical, efficient solution-- backtracking is actually the process of iteratively finding many solutions, without wasting time on ones that don't work.

We created this tutorial to help beginners understand the power of this technique. We try to accomplish this by walking the reader through increasingly difficult examples, showing how we can efficient backtrack our way to the right solution.
I remember when Street Fighter I was a new arcade game. The demonstration mode would show Ryu fighting Retsu, and occasionally he would throw a fireball. The game didn't say how to do it. It would always be this random thing that happened while playing. If you play fighting games, you know the motion is pretty simple, but on SF1 it's actually pretty difficult to do on command. The input scanning just wasn't very good and you had to do the motion with just the right joystick speed and button on/off timing.

I figured out how to throw a fireball on command and became the wizard of the arcade. Shortly after I figured out the dragon punch too. I never figured out the hurricane kick. The game never showed it during demonstration so I didn't know it even existed. It would happen sometimes randomly while playing but for some reason I thought it was a glitch and not a real move. One day another player showed up from another arcade, and he was doing all three moves. He didn't have them quite figured out though as his technique was to mash the joystick motion spastically while hitting the buttons, but it was enough to figure out the hurricane kick too.

When SF2 came out, I was excited because I already knew the special moves, but then there were all these new characters I didn't know how to play. And that's when it happened: people started playing each other. That's what changed everything. The arcades were all dying, but with SF2 the crowds started gathering around. It was no longer about playing the games and getting the high score. It was about being the best competitor.

It's crazy to see it all start and to have gone to and competed in a lot of the first video game competitions. It has come a long way from arcade employees setting up home grown tournaments and giving away ticket prizes. Now we have EVO.
That test protocol sounds needlessly invasive and dehumanizing.
It is different in principle, because when you buy a private business, you become the CEO, and you bank the revenue from the business. Neither of those are true when you buy stock in a publicly traded corporation. You may or may not get some dividends, at the discretion of the CEO, who is definitely not you.
DNS resolution is handled by the DNS server and the browser. JS isn't involved, it's just telling the browser to connect to a certain hostname and the browser itself decides which IP to map it to (based on its DNS cache).

If the DNS server is down the website wouldn't load at all, but this is an acceptable trade-off considering DNS is a very simple system (not many things can go wrong) and servers can be redundant.
> The only solutions I can think of involve limiting the dissemination of false or exaggerated information

We do that already, specifically if it has the effect of harming someone. See, defamation law.

But most of what is objected to about “cancel culture” is dissemination of true facts about people as well as statements of personal preferences about how others should react to those facts, not dissemination of false or exaggerated information.
