Ah, well, I should've written ‘Russian-Latin confusion’—forgot about the alphabet changeovers. But at least I'm told that:

> It can be written in Serbian Cyrillic or Gaj's Latin alphabet, whose thirty letters mutually map one-to-one, and the orthography is highly phonemic in all standards.

Though digraphs spoil the clarity somewhat.

Which reminded me that I should check what Kazakhstan is doing to its language. They seem to at least have avoided the eldritch monstrosity of Polish with ‘Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz’ and the like (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfKZclMWS1U). But they are still setting themselves up for English-language people pretending they can pronounce anything Latin-looking—despite English itself demanding you memorize the dictionary twice, for speaking and writing. So Kazakhstan will soon have its own great writer Karel Kaypek.
Let me try to say in a more nuanced way what other replies have said more bluntly.

It's not a matter of deserving, it's a matter of supply and demand and technological capabilities. To ignore the latter, let's pretend YouTube is capable of 100% effective DRM, such that you only watch the content if you see all the ads and sponsorships, eyeballs on screen, in the style of "15 Million Merits".

Even in this case, it's unmistakable that the supply of entertainment overwhelmingly exceeds the demand. This is why all the traditional Hollywood companies are all entirely focused on making blockbusters: it's the one thing they can do that no one else can (because of the initial investment required). But they're the exception. The vast majority of content creators, including people trying to do it full time, are making basically nothing or just enough to get by. There are thousands and thousands of Twitch streamers scraping by on 12 hour days where they average a hundred or so viewers.

In other words, even in this DRM hellscape, the push of the market is going to be towards less and less remuneration for each creator, because the total market capacity of entertainment as such is not enough for each entertainer to live off of. There is quite simply not enough money in it. If I'm forced to watch ads, I'll switch to content providers that don't use ads. The result is worse for the creator, because the vast majority of them are suffering from lack of visibility. So they make their content more palatable by reducing ads, and the downward spiral continues. This is already happening, because most creators are not making enough to live off of.

The only way to solve this problem is for us to decide socially that artistic creation is good as such even if there's not a marketable demand for it, and that therefore creators deserve to be compensated. The fact that it's society that would have to come to this conclusion means that it's society upon which the burden of providing this compensation would fall, not individual consumers. In other words, the solution isn't sponsorships or watching ads, it's something like universal basic income.

> The character was created for the medium.

This is literally true: Most of the salient features in Mario's visual design (cap, moustache, overalls) were intended either to make his movements readable on the primitive 8-bit character-cell-with-sprites graphical displays of the time, or to compensate for the difficulty in representing features like hair and a mouth on those displays.

He is a very deliberate design within very tight constraints, and thus a marvel of character design.
> I don't understand the point of this function, when Excel already has Power Query.

Because Power Query is not a spreadsheet application, and has some much more severe performance cliffs than Excel proper does.
There's a small benefit to adding the n after the cd: When my thought process goes like "I need to go into directory" I can already type cd, then "oh that doesn't exist yet" then I can type the "n", then I can type out the "foo". You could possibly argue though that "cd foo -n" would be the right thing to type then. Or, finish "cd foo" then ctl-a "n" as you say.

Power Query is only a thing in Excel for Windows though, it’s likely it will eventually be replaced with something cross platform. And if you don’t want to make .NET load every time you open your workbook, you have this.
No that isn’t what judicial discretion is. In contract law judges are not permitted to unilaterally interject their understanding of a contracting party’s intent and revise the terms of a contract, try looking up the “4 corners of a contract”.

I’ll give a specific example of a buddy of mine who in 2008 (during housing bubble) used to buy foreclosed homes at auction. There was a $2-3M home foreclosed Miami Beach home on auction, he put in a bid for about $200k, then the clerk of court website crashed, he didn’t think much of it, come to find out it crashed for everyone locking in his bid, the bank moved to set aside the sale on the basis of uncontrollable 3rd party error, my friend showed up single handedly with a few cases printed up in support of his position and the court denied the banks motion and my friend received title to the house. If the bank had any remedy it was for damages against the courts system that caused the damage not against the contractual winner of the auction.
These coins exists already since many years. See XRPL.org for the oldest "better bitcoin project". It has tested 1500 TPS and block time of a few seconds and on top of that a fully working second layer for high volume channels between 2 parties where the TPS is only limited by the speed of the hardware.
It on average has more transaction per day than bitcoin ever had and it does that since years.
It's worse. How do people think this will work? You will keep your money in institutions. Transfers will be settled in databases. There will be management fees, insurance requirements, dispute costs, censorship, and surveillance. Read the 1st page of whitepaper folks. High fees bring about the same trusted third-parties that Bitcoin was built to avoid.

Well, two months has a way of turning into two years. June 2019 was right around when I fell in love with TPUs, and we’re still happily TPUing today.

Sometimes, though, it would be nice to simply focus on doing interesting ML work rather than wrestling with the intricacies of tensor slicing and memory access pattern optimization (to say nothing of the cursed inability to manually manage memory, resulting in explosions of allocations in the forward pass for unclear reasons).

Let’s put it this way. If you contract me to implement a full gpt model on this new hardware, two months full time work would be my minimum estimate. That’s 40 hours a week of focused effort, with no breaks and no other projects. I don’t know about you, but two months with nothing to show can demoralize most teams I’ve worked with.

The point was, we’re early in ML’s lifecycle. And, like React for webdev, people are slow to change their habits — for better or worse, pytorch and tensorflow are the APIs people think in. So if you want your hardware to be widely adopted, you need tooling that supports the workflows people have spent months learning.

Jax is on the horizon too. Supposedly they’re launching something soon that might tip the scale in their favor. Perhaps an ambitious hardware vendor could capture the future market by preemptively implementing Jax support. But perhaps not: at that point you’d be competing toe to toe with Google’s TPU offering, since Jax is Google’s dogfood.

Right now my money is on TPUs, partly because of their fantastic support staff. But maybe some other company will come along and offer a better integrated cloud experience.

The ordeal at our Capital proves there's a problem that needs to be monitored.

They were monitored. To the extent that the lead of the Proud Boys was actually supplying intel to the feds and the Status Coup youtube channel (which I think was taken off line for some Kafkaesque reason) was recording various pro-Trump people in public calling for such actions.

More monitoring is not needed. Monitoring did nothing to stop the 9-11 Saudi allies from carrying out their mission. The only thing monitoring does is to make people fear to express their thoughts online in case they get into trouble.
I believe they are essentially saying this:

I own this exact tractor

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:New_Holland_TC30_HST...

and even it has a sensor in the driver's seat that will stop it if there is less than 100 lbs in the driver's seat. (When my son weighed 80 lbs he couldn't drive it unless I put 2 10 lb weightlifting plates and put them in a backpack.)

The purpose there is so that the tractor doesn't drag or crush you if you fall out of the seat, but that kind of sensor is also commonly used in the passenger seat of cars to scale the force of the passenger side airbag to the size of the occupant.

I think this speaks to the difference between what SLAs really are and what people wishfully think they are. People think an uptime SLA means "we will not go down much" but it really means "one day we will go down hard and we'll give you a refund (which will be insignificantly small compared to the pain we caused you)".
Youtube (and most other streaming services) is already decentralized into thousands of edge caches. Decentralizing it further doesn't make much sense because the network cost is about the same if individual homes or their nearest ISP DC has the cache.

Most home networks are wireless only at this point which is pretty bad for throughput, latency, and reliability if serving other homes. Maybe ISPs could start building some storage and IPFS into modems? I think handling the metadata of a p2p system might still be too costly. Imagine every neighborhood having to run a torrent tracker for every media file produced in the last ~year.
It has cost them hugely.

I am very surprised that Python was not a "green" language. Why would you not use Python for various new Deep Learning projects? What would you use instead, then? I am questioning the author's Python assessment. Also, I do not program in Java, but I think many new corporate large-scale projects are done in Java these days (and in C#, if you are a Microsoft shop). Many new high-performance projects (Deep Learning infrastructure) are done in C/C++ for the reason of needing to manage memory directly. No new projects in JavaScript? What would you program the (new) browser scripts in, then? I am not sure what the brown-field languages are, really. COBOL is the one, for sure.

I think rating languages is a highly-perilous task and the author did not disappoint.

A triangle ABC of lightning nodes opens a channel with 1 bitcoin between nodes. 3 bitcoins total.

Each node can have a state with a total of 2 bitcoins. That's 6 bitcoins.

It'd be a race to close channels, and only if the channel value is above the fee-floor, else the settled value is $0.
The lightning network relies on looking up BTC which the user has to pay for. Its impossible to be dirt cheap because someone earns money on every Tx. Its the opposite or what p2p cash is supposed to do - it should remove the middlemen. It does not remove it, it just decentralizes it. Its still someone there sucking out value for something that should essentially cost the same as sending an email.

You definitely don't want to write anything complicated with it, but I think it is a nice intermediate that is more secure than macros and also is closer to writing Excel formulas than implementing custom macros.

One thing that would greatly improve the experience would be to allow for formulas to contain just a lambda and then reference that lambda from another cell as a cell reference. Currently you have to use manage lambdas under Formulas > Name Manager. This would make debugging a lot easier in my opinion so that you can freely mix data entry with computation. Not sure why they haven't done this already, but I suspect it is because of assumptions baked into Excel.
> ...on average, there will always be 6 bitcoins minted every 10 minutes

Just to clarify a bit further, this is true right now but the amount minted with each block isn't constant and decreases over time. More info on block rewards: https://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/
I think it’s actually the other way round. The IRS, banks and insurers design and mandate use of their own forms, and if you you deviated one bit from their form they happily deny your request, or they will even just plain ignore you. They just have the power to put the burden on the user to fill in the form in a way that their system can process. That’s not really who this software is aiming at. Sure, the IRS e.a. can and probably will use these advanced extraction services, but only once the technology is readily available and reasonably priced.

Instead, this software is aimed at companies processing all sorts of documents with structured data, but without (very) strict form requirements (or with very low compliance with those requirements). Processing invoices is actually one of the best examples out there: every company has to do it, the basic data structure is nearly universally identical, and yet the form is so different and complex to process with general purpose tools (hence specially designed tools for invoice recognition). These companies may have found great value in processing these forms and may be willing to pay for advanced text extraction tools, because their only alternative is manual processing (aided) by humans.

in the face of sanctions, NK has to get creative. Sad that a generation of talented people is basically harvested by the gov for hacking and theft

"The process by which North Korean hackers are spotted and trained appears to be similar to the way Olympians were once cultivated in the former Soviet bloc. Martyn Williams, a fellow at the Stimson Center think tank who studies North Korea, explained that, whereas conventional warfare requires the expensive and onerous development of weaponry, a hacking program needs only intelligent people. And North Korea, despite lacking many other resources, “is not short of human capital."
The answer is incentives: if you're paying to retrieve data, why shouldn't they take your business?

> For example, MHA found that there was a 66 per cent reduction in the average net weight trafficked for opium in the four-year window after the mandatory death penalty was introduced in 1990 for trafficking more than 1,200g of opium.

> In the four years after the death penalty for trafficking more than 500g of cannabis was introduced in 1990, there was "a 15 to 19 percentage point reduction in the probability that traffickers would choose to traffic above the capital sentence threshold", said Mr Shanmugam.

Granted, the deterrence value of capital punishment as applied in most nations, such as the U.S., has been shown to be negligible. Most countries, especially in the 21st century, just don't have the stomach to apply capital punishment strictly enough to make it worthwhile. And for good reasons, I might add. But if I were creating a country from scratch, before certain patterns of crime and social dynamics became endemic (that is, firmly rooted in the economic life of certain classes such that they would, as a group, be systematically grossly disproportionately punished), I would absolutely employ capital punishment.

I think in the U.S. we tend to assume that poverty and violence go hand-in-hand. And so to punish violence is to in some sense punish the poor. But if you look at poverty around the world, violence is not a necessary consequence of poverty. There are many places where even desperately poor communities experience much less violence than some of the richest towns in the U.S. Ultimately it's a function of the wider culture and its predisposition to violence. If you can use capital punishment to forestall societal changes (e.g. drugs trafficking, use of guns in crimes) that invite pervasive violence, you can achieve a more just outcome for everybody. But in practice you probably can't use capital punishment to put the genie back in the bottle; certainly not alone.

1000x times, yes!

The best recent example I know of that knocks this idea out of the ballpark is Manifold Garden, which even without the puzzle part of the game, would on its own would be art. It uses non-euclidean space, where you can change the gravity 90 degrees when close to a wall, which can be done just about anywhere. It was originally named "Relativity" based on the art piece and it shows. The puzzles are great/challenging and the explorative world just perfectly rides that fine point between chaotic and beautiful without feeling too lost. And when you're lost, you're constantly surrounded by beauty.

From my experience having to debug and fix up / change things in old go codebases, it's an absolute nightmare.

The lack of abstractions often force you to read a lot of code you don't care about.

Snapchat is literally Apple iMovie effects in an app. So, Apple definitely missed that idea.
No doubt, those things are great. But if the reason you're doing them is because you refuse to spend the money you do have, then those start to feel pretty finite. I think it's particularly obvious during the pandemic. The first 5 times you go for a walk are great, and then you propose getting some food in the park to change it up a bit. Maybe you need to rent a car or get a minimum kind of shoe to get to different hiking spots, and your miserly friend doesn't join just because they'd rather excessively save their money. Or you don't live somewhere with hiking, or you just want to sip coffee at a cafe but they won't buy anything. Or you want to invite them to a party but they choose to never bring anything to drink or eat. It's just kinda lame.

Again, this is more about choice rather than necessity. Carries a different vibe if you're trying to do whatever you can reasonably afford, and that may mean not spending anything extra. Good friends will accommodate, but if it's obvious you're making over 100k a year (without significant dependents etc.) and won't split gas, well that doesn't lend itself well to collaborative fun times.

Edit: Also, I don't mean to suggest saving money in general is inherently bad. Obviously not. But you need to be able to find that balance. I personally tend to place higher value on the chance to hang out or have a drink than having 20 more dollars in the bank. But many drinks over many weekends maybe not as much.
