US Congress doesn't "act" the way you're implying. The US Congress can only write legislation and that legislation must abide by the US Constitution (it often doesn't, especially nowadays). The President can sign whatever they want to, but unless it's a Constitutional authority, the states will give them the middle finger. Also, don't underestimate the demonstrated willingness of county sheriffs to ignore unconstitutional laws.
If you want to sell a script, you have Universal, WB, Netflix, I mean, I'm not in the industry, but it's a pretty long list. Every time another industry is brought up we quickly find that a person wanting to do business there has several major, practical routes to choose from. Wanting to make 12-60 minute videos for a living from a starting point of no budget or clout? YouTube is the only option. That's very strange from the perspective of every other industry or even other segments of the same industry. It's not normal for there to only be one business that you have any practical chance of succeeding with.

If it starts looking complicated, just take it back down to the specifics. If you are H3H3, you have no other options. You either do business with YouTube or do some other kind of business. That's the end of the story, and kind of weird, because there aren't any other absolute monopolies like that. For example, hosting a donate button is a practical alternative to Patreon.
That's interesting. So the overhead to assemble the file is just so much that you can't stream output to the tape fast enough? That seems like something that could be overcome.

I get that a better format would make it easier, but it seems like you should be able to, with some optimization or disk cache, stream the output fast enough to outpace the tape drive.
This is incorrect. All else equal, a higher spin rate produces fewer hits than even a higher pitch speed. Banned substances can increase spin rate by ~500 rpm with little effort, meaning everyone doing it allows fewer hits.

You’re correct that there are a lot of other factors at play, but foreign substance is proven to reduce hits, and increase players hit by balls (highest it’s ever been)

Kind of hard to make that argument and simultaneously argue that the soul transfers to a new body at death and is confined to Earth (or worse) until the soul reaches a stage of enlightenment sufficient to move to heaven. Its arguable whether caste applies even in this life - and definitely does not between lifetimes as even the highest type of body on this planet (human) is not assured.

I wouldn't say PoS security has to be driven by the rich, but by whoever is staking, which people could be staking small like lets say 1 ETH total. The security is derived simply by the threat of having your staked ETH (however much) slashed away.
This article is talking about two very different things:

1. Using video/audio of a person to make statements about their personality.

2. Using video/audio of a person to identify them.

The former seems as though it’s largely pseudoscience and should be avoided on the basis that it simply does not work.

The latter may be innaccurate, biased and problematic but it does not seem to qualify as pseudoscience. I would imagine such systems will continue to improve in accuracy. Do others really consider facial recognition and voice recognition (as the title suggests) to be like phrenology?

Are there similar things for other types of GPUs?

Edit: the site has one project per GPU type, shame there isn't one interface that works with every GPU type instead.
Depends on the needs. Tape will keep longer unpowered. A traditional HDD is a bit riskier if left offline and unpowered for a while. Even if they're all powered in a tower, I'd still recommend something like Backblaze for redundancy.
I learned the basics of programming and C++ by reading the Half-Life game engine code which was released for the modders community back then.

Right. You're talking about incentivizing a subscription to your newsletter. You have no TOS, nor PP, for it. You're providing scraped content while either time-gating it, or putting it behind a subscription. Everything together appears questionable to me.

Here's a question: If this isn't to be monetized, and this isn't about lead capture; why are you incentivizing subscriptions with current content instead of adding it to your feed?
We need some way to support both preferences. I’ve also been working professionally for more than 20 years and I absolutely hate working in an office. This past year working from home has done more to improve my mental health than I could possibly imagine. Just the thought of having to work in an office again makes me sick. But I can also understand that there are people like you. I don’t really understand why you feel that way, but I don’t really need to as long as accommodations are made for both people like me and people like you.
Zoom meetings have made me appreciate in-person meetings so much. It seems phrases like these, "Can you hear me?", "Sorry I was on mute", "You are breaking up", "Sorry can you repeat that", "Sorry my internet connection is bad today", take up way too much time. Then people speaking over each other and you cannot understand anyone at all.

I think once a week in-person meetings and rest of week heads down WFH would be a great idea. Or we can do everything in async communication like emails.

And no, not Slack. It is even more distracting and should ideally be used only during scheduled meeting in place of Zoom or for emergency situations.
Um... wow. ;-)

Baseball is thick with unwritten/unspoken rules that define the respect and integrity of the game. Coaches don’t like to do things that put “the integrity of the game” at risk. Very similar to golf in that regard.
How do your applications persist data? If you're running a compute resource today there's very likely a TCP connection between your application and your data somewhere.

Also, in things like kube, it's possible to schedule jobs next to each other so your TCP connection is essentially going over localhost.

There are many tricks you can do to have this even out perform a single process application.
People have said this for years, and yet, no such formal community has been created, while Gemini only grows in popularity. I think such a community would be great, but it's hard to maintain a strict separation with the "rest of the web" in the way that Gemini has.

Is free discourse about being free from consequences? Is it about equal representation/distribution? I am curious about ideological harm when compared to things like offering legal or medical advice.

What does a private company/platform have to do with censorship? Why does a private company/platform need to represent and publish all ideological viewpoints, and what is that company’s responsibility to free discourse?
Ultimately I am ok with that, but I understand it is a difficult ethical question.

This is what they say but for me an hour and a half is fine.
The increased complexity and possibly missing familiarity with the system running inside the VM has led me to abandon VMs for the OS and compiler construction courses I teach.
Instead, we make sure that all programming exercises work on Linux, MacOS and WSL.

My OS course covers operating systems from a system call perspective (POSIX, processes, synchronization and the usual things), but doesn't include kernel/device driver development, so we only had to cope with small differences in syscall behavior here.

Supporting Linux/WSL and macOS was a bit more problematic for the compiler backend exercise due to subtle differences in the supported assembler syntax and linker behavior between Linux and macOS as well as some students who might already own an M1 Mac.

Luckily, Rosetta happily executes the x86 binaries my students created using the macOS x86 crossassembler and -linker, so that turned out to be not a problem (I was hoping that a student would build an Aarch64 backend, but that didn't happen). None of my students seems to own a Pinebook or MNT Reform, so Linux/Arm was not a problem this year.
It is better than nothing. But you've also got people going on and off the field frequently and a strong incentive to cheat. If your five second check is circumvented it's no longer that much better than nothing.

Wouldn’t Clickhouse be the NIH solution? Thanos supports Prometheus natively, but Clickhouse doesn’t (or at least doesn’t appear on the integrations list in the Prometheus docs), so you’d have to write an adapter for it.
My guess is MLB did that because it would be a stain on their history. People still talk about the 1919 Black Sox scandal.
I’m not comfortable meeting at my desk unless literally all my neighbors are supposed to be participating (not concentrating on something else). My office has some phone booths that were so popular (pre-pandemic) that it's been hard to find an empty one.

L’Arc de Triomphe, Wrapped: Christo’s dream being realised
Not my downvote, but

I think the important takeaway is for those who have extreme networking as the primary focus, lunch & dinner meetings are just one of the things that should not fail to be exploited.

Like anything else there are only so many meal dates you can make, and no matter how hard you try they will not all come true, so you need to put it into accurate perspective how to take action.

Simply one of the best ways to bond with a variety of associates is through common love of good food and service at your favorite restaurants.

It can be a serious advantage when you're born & raised for this.

OTOH I had an exponential growth phase with a marketer who did not like the fancy food & drink but catered to sports-loving clients with game tickets, plus discreetly for our most lucrative client a generous season package with extra seats for whoever they wanted since we actually went to only a few of the games ourselves.

All compliments of Our Co. which everybody ended up knowing since discretion was of course not fully maintained.

Occasional clients became regulars and everyone wanted to "move up in the rankings".

Anyway, top networkers and persuasive salespeople have always had the most unfair advantage when that is basically their entire focus compared to their other highly successful peers.

But it's not a good idea to let any persuasiveness get the best of an organization. Once a goal is established, the networkers should be working purely in service to the creative, engineering, and technical executives. Not the other way around.
Never mind that. In some companies HR mandates meetings on various social and workplace issues where they essentially being told what they should think. This blatant disregard for freedom of thought makes me think of nothing short of "politinformation" meetings in good old USSR. Teambuilding outings especially when forced and on weekends fall into the same category.

I am very lucky that I was employed only in one company before going on my own and never had to deal with the crap like that personally but I saw it happen to other people.
Spoiler, it’s not a forest with trees. And limbs.

I didn't mean to claim 100% equivalence, just to point out how trivial it is to replace the core functionality if that's really what the issue is. Personally I think that collaborative editing tools are a strict improvement in all areas except for free form diagrams.

> virtual whiteboards

Even a fully virtual equivalent is fairly trivial. Just buy a damn drawing tablet already! Being good enough to do commercial artwork on, they're all but guaranteed to far exceed the needs of any software developer.
I'm not, even small amounts should be invested of course, I'm just pointing out that rich benefit the most in either scenario.

Also worth pointing out, high APRs aren't guaranteed and the network fees are supposed to be significantly decreased post EIP-1559. Also, for those who don't meet 32 eth threshold, there's good chance they are not even remotely close to that threshold.
The advantage of tape is that you can easily and cheaply keep a daily rotation as well, slot in a monthly, and then an annual to really keep a good cold storage backup. I had to restore from a previous night's tape often enough that for anything critical I'd be paranoid about adequate backup protocols. I don't know the failure rate for tapes, but I think they're lower than mechanical HDD, and definitely last longer unpowered.

> it is really rare to have a completely unified UI with Linux

I mean neither does Windows 10, which basically does a split between at least 3 different styles. Tacked on top of everything sits the metro post Windows 8 style, but is a toy UI for many aspects, click on a random setting and it is likely you will then encounter settings in the windows XP/7 style.

The third one is the older Windows XP style UIs, which you still encounter once you have to venture outside of regular user territory (registry editor and the like).
I think the question was meant to be along the lines of: Why have that unit as a separate service then, instead of just locally as, e.g., a shared library, running in the same process?

Unless you have the specific need of that piece of code not being in the same process/container/computer/network.

Unless your linking time is prohibitively high (but even very large software takes minutes, not hours), the benefit to compile time should be the same. But maybe "redeploying" is more disruptive (I don't know, I haven't done web development for something approaching 10 years now), and depending on the language, problems in one part can crash the whole process. (But depending on the actual process model used, shouldn't it just restart? Unless the language is not sufficiently memory safe, e.g. it's C, and you get way worse problems with memory smashers.)
If you're storing 50TB of data in B2, that's $3k/year. For that price, you can make 2x copies of your data on tape, and then buy two tape drives to read them.
I didn’t know about these dates - is google just done making pixel books at some point before then? I’ve had mine for years and I can’t imagine going back to anything else.
This big difference between the Kernel Modules and GNOME Extensions is that we in the kernel community do not encourage out-of-tree modules. Indeed, they are strongly discouraged. So they out-of-tree modules are never considered an answer to anything.

The kernel interfaces which are supported forever, and for which we will never break userspace, are the system call interface. We don't break that, because to do that would be to break faith with our users.

With GNOME, features are removed, and the lack of features are excused, by saying, "there's an extension for that". That might be a fine answer, if the extensions API were treated like the system call interface, where we do keep things stable. If the extensions API is not stable, then you shouldn't be encouraging out-of-tree users of that API. Because you're effectively promising that you will break them, all the time.

There are times when we in kernel land will say, that belongs in userspace; it's insane to put that functionality in the kernel. But when we do that, we offer stable system call interfaces so that you can do it in userspace, and users can trust that it won't break.

The bottom line is if the API is not stable, then there should be no external users of that interface. Which is why you shouldn't use Nvidia drivers. They are a bad idea. Similarly, people should not use GNOME extensions, unless they like being randomly broken at a distro upgrade.

And yes, I will not use 2d workspaes with GNOME, because I refuse to trust in extensions. My solution is to simply not use GNOME. Xfce and KDE support 2-d workspaces as core features. If GNOME can't, then to hell with it.
What people miss in these discussions about going full remote is that the market for software developers is very good right now but this won't last forever. Many companies are surely going to embrace full-remote once they have built up the right processes and infra.

When that happens, it is not going to matter whether you live in California or Mexico or Brazil. It is much easier to replace an employee who is working remotely, the burden of looking for employees in the locality of your office is gone. Wages will stop growing. While WFH is very convenient, the strong market is giving developers a false impression that they won't become replaceable cogs in the future.
I wouldn't be surprised if the MLB secretly notified the teams that they have x days to stop it because enforcement will commence thereafter. That way the MLB still looks clean but they get rid of the problem. MLB is very concerned about their image.
Some reasons may be:

1. Multiple languages/tech stacks. Have something like protobufs and now any language can "import" your library instead of it just being things that can handle cffi.

2. State management. For example, redis couldn't be an in-process library. There are in-process kv stores but that's not the idea of redis.

3. Transparent monitoring for all languages. I can passively detect all retries, latencies, request counts, etc since there is a protocol.

4. Centralized fixes. Similarly to dynamic linking I can now update a single component and "fix the world" rather than redeploying every binary.

5. Canaries: I can deploy version N+1 to a mirror of production traffic and make sure it doesn't explode. Then I can route 1%, 10%, 50%, 100% of traffic and check those metrics as well.

6. If something goes horribly wrong I can rewrite the entire service for performance or maintenance or whatever within a tightly bounded amount of time. Discord has many blog posts about doing this for some of their services.

You might want to check out the bit in the article mentioning the study that claimed you could figure out a person's sexual orientation from their photo.

There are also many well-known algorithms that attempt to predict how nervous or angry a person is from a photo.

> It's promising to see something in Science which I hope has a higher bar, although I'm not familiar with the blogs section.

I'm a regular reader of this blog. I have an specialization in Chemistry in the Secondary School, so I can vouch that his articles about Chemistry are solid (and adobe my knowledge level). I'm convinced that the articles about the pharmaceutical industry are correct, but that's a little more far away from my specialization.

About Ivermectin, someone posted a few days ago a site that collect all the favorable evidence. I read a few of the papers and in my opinion it's not convincing. The papers are studies with a small number of persons, or with a small difference or instead of the control group they compare with dubious numbers. Essentially, the same conclusion of this blog post, but I only skimmed a few papers and he probably read most of them carefully. If I were you, I'd thrust his opinions more than mine, but in this case we agree.
I find it amazing because the same happened to a great friend of mine that did it with Quake, hacking and cheating the multiplayer game. Now he has a fast-growing startup which he probably coded alone at least 90% of it thanks to these days.
They don't actually mention any company using this for personality assessment. That would be a useful detail to include. They mention Clearview AI, but only in the context of facial recognition, not personality.
