A personal device providing internet connectivity (currently a hotspot, but further evolved) + multiple local devices using that connectivity. No need for SIM and data subscription for tablet, laptop, voice comms, video comms etc. Essentially, what was envisioned by the original bluetooth PAN concept (but not necessarily implemented as BT). The aggregrated uplink is much more scalable for cellular providers, low power budget for locally connected devices means they last longer/are cheaper to make. You are one SIM (or eSIM) - great for surveillance...
> ideological agitprop meant to obscure and decontextualize the harsh reality of dog-eat-dog capitalism.

That's a strange word for them to use. How often English speakers use it?

> Agitprop (/ˈædʒɪtprɒp/;[1][2][3] from Russian: агитпроп, tr. Agitpróp, portmanteau of agitatsiya, "agitation" and propaganda, "propaganda")[4] is political propaganda, especially the communist propaganda used in Soviet Russia, that is spread to the general public through popular media such as literature, plays, pamphlets, films, and other art forms with an explicitly political message.[5]
Here: 8-year old twins with very different interests, school system fully remote for at least first 8 weeks, they are in different classes (it is the best solution, although 2x work for us). I have the weirder schedule (consultant, flexible hours with unmovable deliverable commitments)and my husband has mornings available. 1. We chose to keep them in public school, remote. 2 We chose to keep their nanny for an extra year to help with school (she has a psych degree and education experience) 3. We've set them up on the dinning room table, and 30 minutes into it realized we'll need to split them physically and get headphones with mics(no solution yet for physical separation)

We have loved: teachers who are technically adept.

Suggestions:
Can you get a mobile wifi take one kid out at a time to do school outside? (This assume you are also in an area you can be outside in a safe way, between COVID and heat)

Can you and your partner talk to your companies and change your work hours? Are your employers on board with "this is not working from home, this is being at home during a pandemic, attempting to work"?

Have you found a way to prioritize some personal time daily/weekly so you two do not burn out to a crisp?

What we hate: the complete disruption. We are not great at teaching our kids, not because of lousy skill (we both taught college), but lousy patience teaching a young age group. We have done a lot of "learning on the go" this summer--for example: taking kids into a river, talking about currents, water sources, why stones in rivers are round, ecosystems, etc. Or playing with Gravitrax to explore gravity, friction, the topography of our 100 yr old house's living room (and why /how construction settles). But it is hard and it is not "curricular & organized"

We are also in a socioeconomic group that can afford a nanny, and have professions that have allowed for flexibility. We have had it "easy".

There is no way to overstate the sheer hellish hell of choices this all can be, and YMMV with anything I wrote here.

Game consoles, right? Back in the day things like the Commodore were often sold as game systems and computers (the NES wasn’t but you could still run unlicensed software). Nowadays, good luck running something on your PS4/Switch that the company didn’t approve (unless you have a hackable switch I guess, but that’s extremely fiddly).

Completely forgot in the other comment but your product would be subject to GST, which is a tax. I can't imagine Google paying GST %s on their Australian ad sales, but it's a starting point.
Right? It's very hard work being an entrepreneur and if you take time off and that results in your customers going unserviced, then you certainly will feel the consequence of "setting your own schedule".

If you have everything automated and your business is growing and customers are happy and loyal, well then you can take time off because by all indications you've put in a lot of hard work and intelligent design to achieve that.

For me, I actually enjoy the grunt work and the meetings and corporate BS in exchange for a quite stable paycheck and societal approval. It only leaves me with just enough free time for personal projects so that they can forever remain theoretical and unfinished and unfocused, as they deserve to be, because actual implementation into a robust and profitable platform is a quick way to kill personal interest in a subject ;)
I've had tasks where we processed a lot of gzipped jsonl - I usually wrote tooling in Python as it was easy, then I had the option to use pypy.

Pypy pretty consistently gave me a 2x speedup as you're seeing here without any other work and a few experiments I did in golang would give me another 2x - I had expected more.

So, I just settled on keeping doing it in python and using pypy where it mattered - I just enjoyed writing Python more than writing golang - ymmv.

Seems pretty spot on how to history goes down. My history of US economics professor, used to love saying something akin to:

"The only thing that history tells us for sure, is if you leave people with nothing, one day, the people will come and remove your head from your body."

He spoke Russian, here is the clip:

I'm a native Russian speaker. He said something like "We held the elections. Until you kill me, there will be no different elections.", meaning the elections will not be cancelled (this also follows from the previous context in the video).
Try to read the code and understand how it works and you will find it very challenging to interpret. But not just that even the documentation is very sparse and hard to read. Compare that to the open-ai code, is so coincise and easy to read. There is mastery in doing that, deep mastery. Few repositories on tensorflow or pytorch organization get to that level.
I’m someone that often reads the comments before reading the article, so it’s helpful to know what people think is blog spam and what is actually worth reading.
Thanks for that! This is quite relevant to me right now as I'm thinking about my next upgrade. Obviously, I'd prefer to buy AMD, especially if this disable switch is legit. But grotesquely, I'm still considering going with Intel, because at least I know I can use me_cleaner there, and more or less understand exactly what it does. Hopefully this document will clear some of that up.
As Lammy said, it's not new. There was Eye-Fi, which was an SD card for cameras, but with a WiFi module so you can grab pictures off it from your computer. And there was SDIO, which was a WiFi module for your non-WiFi Palm Pilot, which you'd plug into your SD card slot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCqn_WpFSH4

I love taking advice from people like Keith Rabois because you know (unlike 99% of other VCs) he actually has experience building mega-unicorns himself.
I suspect part of the problem (for surfing) is the absence of a clear line-up. It's not the wait that bugs me, it's the constant maneuvering (and physical dangers of collisions in the water with boards). If I could join a clear defined lineup, wait my turn, paddle into a wave that I knew was mine to take, get a nice long ride, and re-join the lineup, I'd be fine with it. That there is such a thing as a line up at breaks with very well defined take-off zones, but even that breaks down pretty quickly in a crowd. A small number of surfers can make it happen, but good breaks in an accessible place (certainly everywhere in Santa Cruz) will exceed this crowd size 98% of the time.

I'm not a climber at all, but I've done a little bit of climbing on an indoor wall, and a crowded day means you need to wait longer, which is a hassle, but I get the feeling there's a much clearer sense of how to wait for your turn, with less interference when it is your turn. No idea if this is the case for outdoor climbing, though, or at more advanced sites. I'd still prefer a less crowded day with shorter lines of course - but crowds on a surf break don't just make it take longer to get the experience of a ride, they can pretty well ruin it. That's a big part of why I only surf uncrowded beach break.

Yes I know that. The issue around just using one VM is that it is single point of failure IMO. Yes, is unlikely that VM will die, and yes, the VM image itself is likely backed by reliable storage (they are supposed to be disposable IIRC, you'd ideally want to attach some kind of volume which is extra $$$ -- correct me if I'm wrong here).

That said, my point was with little extra money -- features such as easy sharing, security, versioning, nice mobile apps, and time saved moving around things manually (like photos), offline access (and if you use rsync cron, not worrying about conflicts) etc makes it worth that extra few $$$.
I think I am dreaming that they will somehow be forced to stop market manipulation through force, however your conclusion is probably much more correct that the militarization will just continue and in fact get worse ;)
> When your dictatorship is in trouble, who’re you gonna call? Right now the answer lies west of the Ural Mountains.

Let's not pretend that West of the Ural Mountains has a monopoly on supporting repressive dictators. There's a group in power east of the Mississippi that has a long history of doing so as well.

Before anyone tries to say this is a tu quoque - look at your life and the decisions that you've made in it to say that supporting even a single repressive dictatorship is okay.
I bought a load of expired films a couple years ago on Facebook marketplace for about $3 each. This allowed me to learn how to develop, scan, test different cameras, and affordably pursue a hobby that would have otherwise cost me thrice as much. Analog photography really changed my perspective and I'm very grateful for that.

I'd love to see a discussion on here about the market for discontinued film cameras. I've sold a fair amount of my point and shoots for 10x-30x as much as I bought them for, mostly because they were usually thrifted for $5-$10.

If someone had the skills to repair some of the "for parts" cameras sold on eBay, such as the highly sought after Olympus mju-ii, a decent profit could be made while bringing some quality, discontinued cameras back into life.

I wonder if/when any company will ever start to reproduce analog cameras again.

Fun fact: the author has his PhD/MA in political science. BSc in computer science.
You are correct, sir. Although it might also just be for using his own powers and not per se foreign ones.

In most systems like these, any form of violence (by citizens) is used as an excuse to respond with (disproportional) repressive violence. Many citizens know this, and many have learned it the hard way. So they try to disrupt and disable the system trough non-violent means, which is truly is terrifying for any totalitarian regime. Often such regimes will then resort to brazenly taunting the people and hoping at least someone will bite (given them the excuse they need). They may also just stage violence or an assassination attempt, just to get their way and use the only tool they know: control through (the threat of) violence.

In fact, ironically, that might also be a rather fitting approximation to characterize the (actual) way the USA conducts its foreign policy towards many countries, particularly China and above all Russia. But that's another story.
> If you believe that the Bell Test is correct -- you must equal-and-oppositely believe that the speed of light is NOT the upper limit of speed in the universe, that is, that Faster-Than-Light (FTL) speeds are possible.

That's not exactly correct, you just have to forgo locality, which some interpretations of quantum mechanics do, like the Bohmian one. Like the sibling comment points out, this still doesn't permit faster-than-light communication.
why don't use TF-IDF and use just elastic search?
OK, thanks for clarifying. The problem with such metrics is that they're not objective results. It doesn't really help us learn much to say that a system outperforms another based on subjective evaluations like that. You might as well try to figure out which is the best team in football by asking the fans of Arsenal and Manchester United.
It's not clear that Russia will want to get involved beyond some sort of symbolic effort. They gave a fairly non-answer answer to Lukashenko's request for aid.
How do you know it would be the same? That's an assumption. The measurement problem is a problem because quantum mechanics postulates two types of processes "normal" unitary evolution and "measurements" that project out the wave function into eigenstates of the measured operator. This is obviously inconsistent since there is no definition, formal or operational of what process is a measurement and what process isn't a measurement. How do you know that your measurement apparatus isn't just evolving unitarily (which is what you would expect if it was a "normal" system) until someone looks at it to read out the results. Consciousness enters only in the fact that for anyone to know what happened to the experiment someone has to do the readout (otherwise you're just writing equations). At the point of readout you can't tell who or what did the collapse.
I think we probably actually agree more than we disagree on what we're talking about.

I agree simplicity that hides relevant information is not good.

My complaints about Fidelity are not that it's surfacing too much relevant information.

Some quick things:

- Fidelity has tons of menus that hide things in hard to find places.

- The UI is slow, and the actions are poorly designed. Want to wire money to someone else? That's hidden under transfer -> to bank account -> new bank account -> that I don't own. Everything they have is like this, buried and weirdly named.

- A link might load an entire different section of Fidelity unrelated to your actual account. Tons of spam on the front page about resources that are irrelevant or just trying to sell you some Fidelity crap.

- Want to buy a call option? Small modal pop up window that's hard to use.

I'm not arguing for simplicity by hiding relevant information, I'm arguing for good UX - focus on the stuff that matters and organize things in a way that is actually good for users.

> "This is why other trading platforms look 'busy'. Because trading options is not simple."

I think other platforms look busy not because they're showing relevant information, but because they're hacked together over years by people that previously relied on in-person traders and phone call support (and except for Vanguard, arguably scamming users via active trading fees). It's a mess of legacy systems and UI that doesn't have to get better because there aren't that many players and it's a hard market for competitors to enter.

HavenMoney (acquired by CreditKarma) had an approach to this I really liked, they basically did best practices for most people. Index funds, emergency savings, 401k handling - all automated. Something like this by default that also had a trading platform would be great. It'd also be cool if it always compared a user's active trading to what would have happened if they left their funds in a total market index.
I'm sorry, I need to figure out how to handle traffic better/dynamically.. Still learning. I was thinking it would be cool to leave websites "in the wild" though, like something solar powered that would stay alive and could be accessed in the area.

Definitely no; I tried something similar with the J dictionary. The right way to learn is to go through "J for C programmers" (it comes with the language), or just grab NuVoc[0] and start writing code for something non trivial. Labs can also help for areas you're not familiar with. Its the composition in J which carries meaning; and stuff like hooks and forks (more or less, writing J AST's directly) make it non-obvious in early days.

They're not instructions; it's a dedicated hardware unit. Most of the area appears to be devoted to finding matches so it should be possible to add other LZ-style algorithms without much additional area.
How to Obtain a Court Order to Remove Content from the Internet
I empathize with you. Certain products have network effects, and therefore, if you personally prefer product G to product A for whatever reason, the more people go with G instead of A, the more value you obtain.

As a result, people often have a lot of incentive to try to get other people to make the same choices they make. This explains a lot of the jousting over frameworks: The more people use the framework you use, the more bug fixes, the more talent you can hire, the more courses, books, and blog posts you can depend upon, &c.

Without agreeing with you that society as a whole is better off without Apple selling me a locked down device, I can certainly empathize with your desire for fewer people to make the choice I'm making.

After I read this article, I downloaded the NOAA datasets to check that the claims were correct. It's easy to write a small Python script to select the measurements with "E" after them (meaning estimated) and check the proportions. They matched his graphs so I don't believe there are factual accuracy issues.

In this article he posts old news stories overlayed with recent temperature timeseries versions, showing how much they differ. It has a bunch of examples of old stories from the archives talking about global cooling, and shows why they thought that given the thermometer readings of the time:

The second article shows with the moniker of "climate change skeptic" is problematic. Virtually nobody criticising climatologists believes the climate doesn't change. Tony Heller is an arch-sceptic, on the far end and willing to make strong accusations of fraud etc, but even his position is that the raw data shows the world getting warmer. As you can see if you read the second link, he argues the "real" data shows warming of 1 degree, rather than the 3 degrees reported by NOAA. So he isn't really a climate change skeptic in the literal sense of the term, even though he'd definitely be described that way by journalists. He just disagrees about the size of the trend.
