Why on earth would you want the supply not to be actively managed to help temper a downturn? That's a feature. People don't like losing the entire value of their investments due to transient mass panic.
Maybe. It never hurts to be the one selling boots and shovels in a gold rush, though.
It's really common for other teams to view cybersecurity as an antagonist. We're the a-holes who slow them down, demand they follow rules, wag our fingers when they try to cut corners, etc.

It's also very common for people to view cybersecurity engineers as people who needlessly make things more difficult just so they can "look like they're busy" and collect a heftier salary. (I've found this mindset especially common in non-technical teams.)

We're kind of like the dentists of the industry--everyone grumbles about how pricey we are, no one looks forward to visits from us, people question whether we're actually fixing things or just out to make a buck, and we have to hand out all sorts of annoying reminders (floss your teeth! don't install Chrome add-ons! brush twice a day!)

Having a strong relationship with other teams allows me to come to the table and say, "Hey, look, we both respect each other. You know I don't bullshit, and I wouldn't be asking you to do this if it wasn't a real issue. So please at least listen to my concern and try to work with me here. And you know I'll always listen to your concerns in turn, so we can do this as painlessly as possible."

So it's not exactly "getting them to care about security because we're friends." It's more of, "getting them to listen because we both respect each other." And if you can do that--get them to listen instead of having them immediately shut down, get angry, and convince themselves it's all bullshit--then usually they'll quickly understand there's an actual threat at hand. And once you convince them there's an actual threat, they're way more likely to do something about it, instead of throwing a fit and resorting to vindictive pushback.
For me the whole point of using netlify is that I don't need to do anything. Set and forget.
Bitcoin is the most secure store of value and settlement layer. It is digital gold, a maximally secure asset with minimal risk. Other functions such as microtransactions, ft/nft-assets and smart contracts can be built on top of Bitcoin, with different L2 solutions. For example, see https://rgb-org.github.io. This architecture separates the base layer from all the risks of experimental technology and speculative utility of smart contracts.

This differs from other blockchains such as Ethereum, that try to build everything on L1. This is a problem, because it introduces a lot of risk and uncertainty on the base layer. Even on Ethereum, the most promising solutions seem to arrive on L2, making the premise of Ethereum rather pointless.
I'm not convinced that the systems currently being fielded by their competitors are better than beta quality either. Somehow they get away with it.
That gives me the feeling that those reflexion models could do some help for improving our understanding of those microservices
I'm sure it's more complex than I grasp as a layperson, but I'm utterly amazed at how simple this _appears_. I get the feeling that this is something I have a better chance of understanding than the average SaaS Terms and Conditions.

Wow, I didn't actually know that. That feels...so dirty!
They sequenced vaccine leftover remaining in used vials.

So reverse engineering basically.
Distancing is not adequate to prevent spread indoors. There are loads of cases of infection from beyond that distance.
Some parts of gene transcription are so straightforward one can almost be tricked into thinking it has the logic of a computer program. It may be an illusion. To stretch the metaphor, TCP parsers don't match probabilistically along the entire length of the packet in parallel, and they don't interpret the same part of a packet as data in some contexts, and a header in others.
But you are wrong, it would absolutely not work.
The only way to make sure no one has 51% and no one can simply get 51% (buy cloud computing for example) is if the 51% is more than what feasibly can be bought or it would at least need to cost more than what you could gain from a double spend.

Also its about hash power not number of miners, that's completely irrelevant. 100 or 1000 miners that means nothing.
The authors reverse engineered the sequences of the vaccines, obtaining them from the remaining mRNA present in the vials.

“Assembly” in this case means that they merged several short sequences they obtained, each representing a fragment of the whole mRNA sequence.
> We aren’t that different from machines, we just need to know more about the CPU and all the co-processors and how the logic gates interact

Except it is unfortunately not that simple, because it assumes that distinct components such as CPU, co-processors and even logic gates exist in that context, as is totally reasonable to assume on devices created by humans. Abstracting complex machines into distinct components is a proven strategy to engineer a system, but it's not a necessity for functioning systems to exist.

In the case of natural organism, they "just" need to work. They don't have a blueprint, and they don't need to be organized in a way that allows for easy understanding by looking at individual parts in separation.

Consider also the difference between machine learning through neural networks ("we stuff a lot of training data in there and get what we want eventually, we hardly understand what the model does or why it fails"), and a QR code reader ("we carefully designed the format from the top down, including e.g. framing, error correction, and several invariants like rotation; if a QR code does not get recognized, we can usually tell exactly where and why it failed").

Almost yes, except wages for the stuff that needs to be done will rise to the point that you actually earn almost what your labor is worth :-) some of the most important jobs in the world (nurses?!) pay much less than my hobby of sitting in front of a computer and making pretty plots. That's fucked up
That sounds like a great idea!

The Eleuther project makes use of distributed computing resources, donated by cloud company CoreWeave as well as Google, through the TensorFlow Research Cloud, an initiative that makes spare computer power available, according to members of the project
Except that Tesla hasn’t solved computer vision and may never.

Also Dojo isn’t some magical technology. It’s an FPGA platform which we have available today on AWS and hasn’t changed the game for deep learning use cases. It’s just edge optimised.

LiDAR however has changed the game. It works well and costs are rapidly coming down.

However, a friend is the founder of https://timechi.com - a digital clock that manages your pomodoro (or whatever style of time boxing you want to do), and connects to your computer/browser to block things from interupting you.

Correction. Atheism isn't a rejection of religion. It is a lack of belief in God or gods.

The canonical example of the difference is that plenty of religious Buddhists are also atheists.
As someone who is semi-atheist, I have started to think that the invention of God was mostly to discipline children and to give them hope. Eventually, those children grew up and told same stories to their kids and until one day those stories became religion. Then came prophets who decided to prey upon these people and sold organized religion.

I say this because I got a toddler and sometimes it is easier to make up stories instead of telling truth, like when someone dies they go to heaven. Or if you clean up your room, then maybe elves will come at night and leave a present. It is almost like I can see a religion forming in front of my eyes. Sometimes I am using traditional religious stories like for life and death questions. And at other times, I am using fairytale creatures. This whole thing has made me more atheist while at the same time let me appreciate what religion does.

Which leads me to Santa Claus. I think Santa Claus is a great way to give subtle hint for thinking minds to realize that childhood stories are not real.

But can people still feel good without believing in religion? Do we have atheist societies? What do atheists tell their young kids?
Could it be because these people do robotic jobs?
Someone on Twitter was suggesting that they picked Meituan only because it has a delivery robot called Space-Pod. Lol.

Or in other words, they did a Ctrl+F: "space", in the filings of publicly traded companies and they built the index with the ones that had a match for the word.

Stupid? Yes. Possible? Absolutely.
Even Google writes "everyday" as a noun, now. Sigh.

I wonder if they have any data on how often folks used to do that.
Standard hand grenade is roughly 400g / 1 pound; 40mm grenade launcher ammo often is half a pound / 230 grams.

That's considered reasonably effective by the militaries, and fully within the capabilities of many cheap quadcopters.
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I think you should re-read this: data which cannot be easily obtained but can be obtained, e.g. through a torrent or on the dark web.

It's an extra piece of engineering to reliably scrape torrents and the dark web and exclude spam traps. "Easily obtained" is probably as much about this vs the copyright aspects.

The person you are replying to is correct in saying that most people train on the "public web" (eg, common crawl data). The copyright implications of this haven't been tested in court as yet.

It is worth noting that common-crawl data is widely distributed and would seem to raise the same issues you are identifying here.

You have never had a full-time job, and don't consider yourself very ambitious. You haven't saved anything for retirement and You just want to coast through life? Like Your Dad did? Maybe ask him?

I don't have many ideas other than keep doing what your doing or get a tent and move to a park, or crime until You get locked up. I understand that some states have three strike laws so there's that.

On a more positive note, if You are currently just part time freelancing then You probably have some spare time to try out other ventures until You find one that works, or just keep trying to get more likes and shares for your social media and a higher ranking in what ever mmorpg your currently winning at instead of winning at LIFE, which is the ultimate RTS game.
Yeah or maybe it's the variation in pasty preferences between continental Europe and Northern California. Or the water salinity.

Point being if you're going to make an aggressive claim of that type you'll have to back it up with evidence.

> The employer is literally coercing the employee into attending these "information" sessions by threatening their survival

I used to be mildly in favor of unions, but the use of this kind of loaded language is why I'm starting to oppose them. It just give me the impression that the pro-labor side are a bunch of entitled whiners, even though I logically know that vast majority of the people voting pro-union are perfectly reasonable. At the end of the day, you're being paid to sit in a room. Nothing is stopping you from daydreaming or planning your next dinner.

Lost opportunity: Paul Robeson Jr suspects his father was poisoned by CIA (1999)
On one hand I agree that the human-exceptional bias that seems to pervade society is sad, and we should be over it given how well we know our pets.

On the other hand, it's nice to see more news exposure of views that animals are similar to humans.

On the gripping hand, there's a reason for this bias - it's inherent part of human (and possibly animal) nature - to justify our superiority. It's also useful for certain groups in power to keep these biases strong.
The moment Sundar became CEO of Alphabet it should have been clear that the whole experiment was a failure. It is probably too much work to dissolve the entity and fold all the moonshots back into Google, but that's effectively how things are running now.
I doubt that is true. There is lots of evidence that shows Apple is quite actively trying to cycle phones through consumers faster.

Preventing other manufacturers from buying them may be another benefit, but fighting repairs is more than a happy accident.
When you work for someone else, it is your employer’s prerogative to spend your time how they want. They can pay you for useful productive work or they can fritter it away talking your ear off in the office, within the confines of the agreement.

Certainly it would be fairer to the union organizers for Amazon to not spend work time on anti-union messages, but there isn’t a legal problem with it. Amazon’s house, Amazon’s choice. The union has to work with the time people are willing to give them outside of the time they sell to Amazon.
Billionaires are crazy kind of folks.

For the last time, just go listen to Kathleen Kennedy talk about Star Wars. She makes her motives clear. I really don't know what else to say to you. The fact that she has worked on other films does not impact what her goal with Star Wars was when she took the helm. It's not an imaginary version of her in my head, it's the version of her in my head which is entirely based on her public comments. Not sure how else you want me to form opinions of people. I have quoted her saying something to the effect of "wow this is great because we can have non-white-male directors" – if you want to provide a single instance where she says something like "our goal here is just to tell a good story", then have at it.

This entire post is about diversity and gender issues, so, um, what else would we be talking about? In fact, I think the intersection of gender with the new Star Wars films is hugely relevant to the OP.

Perhaps the reason Rey was a Mary Sue is because nobody felt comfortable saying "hey, maybe this character should have some like, flaws she needs to overcome or something", because they were worried people would see that as wanting the female lead to be weak, and get pilloried for the suggestion. Sure, maybe gender had absolutely nothing to do with this poor storytelling decision, but based on the actual comments of the creatives involved, that definitely seems like the less likely reality.
There's some interesting syntax in those files that I haven't seen before. What's ^((,me.(get-sidx 'exception-subtype-p) mean? Specifically, dot followed by open paren. Is it a method call?

The Business of Scenery: Why America’s national parks need new management
are we sure it's a scorched earth approach? I thought we don't exactly know WHY ect works. its possible calibrating neuronal stimulation is good for the brain and helps calibrate neuronal connections that otherwise were not as excercised as much as the ones very depressed people have.

In general, deeply depressed people interpret and perceive even language and visuals differently, in more negative and cynical lights, its hard to consciously teach yourself to constantly perceive the opposite or think in a more positive way, perhaps just stimulating ALL nuerons helps calibrate paths that otherwise were not favored other neuronal pathways highly utilized by depressed people.

To be honest, I've seen more people in my life die from going from antidepressents to street heroine than I have people from ect. I am not ready to say ect is safer than antidepressants. It's also to be noted antidpressants its a multibillion dollar industry of which a very few very rich families make a ton of money and also sell the same drugs for heroine overdoses, many heroine addicts of which came from being cut off from abusing antidepressants, 1/3rd of all heroine addicts actually so...

when you compare ect therapy to a massive opioid epidemic that makes a few people rich, and all of the violence that has encompassed the heroine drug dealing industry, I would say ect is potentially a safer option.

It has a stigma because of how it was originally used.

I would still though be interested in psychadelics over ect but shrooms can cause permanent damage and impacts everyone differently as well so both are hard to streamline I imagine.
Have no fear. Amazon's bankroll and headcount means their lobbyists have far more power than Warren to influence the course of events.
Building such a thing is not that a high effort, reliability, extensibility and scalability are the things which are not easy to implement. For a small scale like hobby projects it definitely makes sense to use such stuff but not for things where you want to press a button to provision new nodes in different regions with e.g. GKE Autopilot or Render.com. Like things where you rely on a bulletproof CDN e.g. from Vercel or Netfliy.

- Documentation outside of our own (O'reilly books, online courses, etc..)

- IDE plugins

Treating people with respect is politically charged, but it shouldn't be. The side of that argument that thinks racial slurs, sexual advances, hurtful stereotypes and treating employees differently because of race, religion or sexuality should be OK in a workplace is wrong. It's no more propaganda than telling people not to punch each other or spit in each others faces.
He’s a writer, sure, but that doesn’t mean that bad writing is not fair game for criticism. Redefining words is a common technique in this style of apologetics to avoid having to engage with an argument intellectually and it being used by a famous writer doesn’t make it more worthy.

It wasn't how it worked then, either, at least for any value of 'then' in England for the past thousand years or so. Yes, premarital pregnancy was strongly discouraged. But it still happened a lot. And both of GP's family responses were absolutely common at different times, and both came from a deeply family-centred place. So I don't see it as absurd at all. Religion has always been for the sinners as much as the saints.
