I agree in the sense that BeOS wouldn't have saved Apple, though this has less to do with the merits of BeOS and more to do with Apple's circumstances. Even with the purchase of NeXT, there was still a considerable time period between December 1996 (when the purchase of NeXT was announced) and March 2001 (when Mac OS X 10.0 was released) where Apple's customers still had to use the aging classic Mac OS (and even then Mac OS X didn't start getting widespread adoption among Mac users until the Jaguar/Panther eras). More to the point, Apple's operating system strategy wasn't the only issue Apple faced. NeXT's OpenStep API and OPENSTEP operating system weren't enough by themselves to turn around Apple; it was Steve Jobs' leadership and the successful launches of products such as the iMac G3 (1998), the iBook G3 (1999) that kept Apple afloat until Mac OS X was released. I don't know if Apple would have survived had Gil Amelio remained in power or had Jean-Louis Gassée took control.
You can also get this great feature in standalone version, for free, and without any Linux compatibility or Windows integration issues. Definitively recommend checking at ubuntu.com for it ;-)
As a bootstrapper I camped all night outside of bestbuy to get some 3090s.

Other tips not mentioned in the article:

1. Tune your hyper parameters on a subset of the data.

2. Validate new methods with smaller models on public datasets.

3. Tune models instead of training from scratch (either public models or your previously trained ones).
> But "No code" proponents typically remove too much flexibility to the level of the implementor of the product, far removed from the end user.

Not only do they remove flexibility, but they often introduce "magic" that is too difficult to debug when dealing with live industrial systems. It's fairly simple to go through a bunch of iterations with a debugger in a standard programming environment. As soon as your dealing with a sprawling realtime physical system, you can't do that.

Right, I should not have said you have to memcpy. You can poke bytes any way you like, in any order you like. But! memcpy is known to compiler optimizers, so is more reliably optimized away.

Pretty much any fledging currency will be volatile. So you might as well be asking why anyone would adopt any new currency?

As a currency gains adoption and value, its volatility naturally goes down.

As far as what advantages bitcoin has over traditional existing currency? Numerous. Immutable, unseizable, uncensorable, fixed supply/non-inflationary/store of value, digitally transferrable without a 3rd party.

Honestly I don't know whether Google has that issue, because I haven't used them for years, but just about everything I do use seems to take an approach bordering on outright hostile towards paying any heed to many crucially distinguishing terms.

Well, I mean, mailing a check takes a long time, certainly longer than sending some bitcoin would take, even if it was free. Emailing a scan could work, but wouldn't that be completely trivial to abuse? If someone gets a Gmail password, they could just photoshop a the check to empty out your relative's account with very low effort.

I think blockchain kind of solves these two particular problems; the money transfers are relatively quick (around 20 minutes for bitcoin), and you have all this cryptographic goodness to minimize the potential for fraud.
Not rude, but I'd be interested in knowing who's better at it.

I'm not a fan of the industry. Recognizing that someone is good at something, is not the same as approving.
FWIW, sucralose has also been linked to C diff infection.

It's worth maybe pointing out that this study was based on sucralose, just because it seems this sweetener is worth tracking separately in general. I don't really consume things with artificial sweeteners but sucralose is starting to become a concern of mine (eg for my daughter).

Removing it from the cache does nothing except making Cloudflare drop it. If Cloudflare "removes material from their cache" it DOESN'T prevent any infringement, because the request will hit the main server (and possibly Cloudflare will cache it).

If cloudflare kicks them off, that's different than just "removing material from the cache" which seems to be what the argument is.
Because it works both ways, there are a lot of companies which offer "unlimited vacations" on paper. In theory you could use that to only work 3 days per week. In practice the employer will just argue that you don't meet expected performance goals (even if you do).

I work at a company which doesn't have any hours in the contract. People are active from 10-7 in general. This is the time where you have most overlap with your team and usually you have some dependency on others. If you aren't available you are letting your team down and again - you'll be flagged for not meeting performance goals.

Except it's not. Every lane change in semi-dense and dense traffic is a possible collision; I'd say if you have a car moving in the same direction as you are, and it's closer than ~50 feet, then it's a non-negligible possibility, other than that you just have nobody to collide with during lane change . We're talking highway speeds, of course, not racetrack

I think the Mall analogy is downright perfect.

The mall is a beautiful, shiny, clean building where you go to hang out with your friends. The shops in the mall are there to lure you to go buy stuff. You aren't paying the mall, but by being there, you're likely to buy something at J. Crew or the food court.

If the mall had an anti-mall lunatic out front, they'd surely remove them too.
>But ditching my FB account entirely means I'd lose access to dozens of people I wouldn't have a great way of contacting otherwise.

I don't use FB but I would imagine if I did and I wanted to get off it and there were dozens of people I wanted to keep in touch with but would lose touch with I would send these dozens of people a message a week before, saying "I am going to get off facebook, can you send me your email / phone number, my number is X, as I would like to maintain contact."

Or does FB not allow you to do that?
>Your risk of myocarditis from COVID is 10x-20x your risk of myocarditis from a vaccine

It really bothers me that people are still touting such numbers around as obvious, indisputable facts given the poor quality of both covid and adverse effect statistical data.

1. What are the odds that you will experience symptoms if you get myocarditis?

2. What are the odds that vaccine induced myocarditis will be reported as such? There is a wealth of anecdotal evidence of people complaining about all manner of possible vaccine reactions to completely dismissive doctors, and filling out a VAERS report is time consuming and already overwhelmed medical practitioners are unlikely to spend 30+ minutes on a report.

3. Does vaccine (or covid) induced myocarditis have long term consequences, even if asymptomatic or mild? I've read repeatedly that myocarditis of any severity represents some degree of permanent damage but have not been able to conclusively verify this statement.

4. Why are we putting so much faith into the statements and research of pharmaceutical companies who stand to gain tens (hundreds?) of billions from vaccines+boosters, when we know that these same companies have been repeatedly sued in the past for dangerous/defective medications (and vaccines) as well as deliberately sociopathic business practices? We are talking about a massive conflict of interest from parties which have repeatedly demonstrated dishonesty in the past.

And then with respect to VAERS self reporting, the average person has been convinced that the vaccine is safe and is not likely to connect strange symptoms weeks after vaccination with the vaccine, if they even know about VAERS or the European equivalent. There's far too much uncertainty in the positive data to support such a rigid social orthodoxy around expression of negative sentiment toward the vaccine.
If the device really did look like a gameboy, my guess would be that the vendor has an easily brute-force able wireless authentication protocol. Several car manufacturers used to suffer from this for years, up to quite recently even.

Modern, quality key systems have some protection against plain brute forceing, but there are many vehicles out there with known vulnerable locks and no way to fix them, at least not for free.

I'm convinced that while the thefts are obviously the thiefs' fault, the manufacturers play a role in this and should be held partially accountable if their software is of the older type that consists of little more than a numeric code with no further protection, or if the exploit used is already known. Either way, a patch should be rolled out to all car owners to defeat these attacks because they undoubtedly happen elsewhere. Car manufacturers have bolted on wireless keying systems with no regards for security for decades now and it's time they should be held accountable for their defective systems.

Can related features be add-ons to RDBMS rather than leaving the RDBMS world for good? Any non-trivial system will need at least some of what RDBMS offer. We should try not to throw out the baby with the bathwater.

I'd like to explore specific use-cases for NoSql to see what features they need that RDBMS currently lack and if it's impossible to practically add those features to RDBMS.

The first reading is exactly what I meant. Sex selection abortions are terrible. Women's reproductive autonomy and health, needs access to abortion on-demand, abortion is a least-worst choice for many women and should remain their choice and not subject to the Religious and legal constraints we see in Texas or Poland. Abortion for sex selection is really bad.

As I understand it Cloudflare is essentially a caching proxy. If the site isn't in the cache then Cloudflare fetches it and passes it on, and also saves it in the cache for the subsequent requests. Removing it from the cache will just make every request look like it's the first one.

Sorry, your hypothesis makes no sense. There are WAY more cars sold by other brands, so more Tesla incidents is even more galling. Using autopilot should only HELP the auto braking not make it worse.

Other systems use radar and camera. They are thoroughly tested by the OEMs and suppliers to strict tolerances.

Meanwhile Tesla is shipping beta software and having people test it. Including removing radar because of “phantom” braking.
They have cash flows and intrinsic value. Crypto does not.
>And yet we think we got this mRNA/Adenovirus vector formula right on the first try times 3 different brands with 2 years of reduced trials?

Pretty much, except strike the "WFH" from that sentence. I.e. never trust that a nice policy that company has today is going to be there tomorrow. They can change it overnight.

Of course you can still move away (or do whatever else depending on what other type of policy we're talking about) but you have to be prepared to deal with the consequences.

E.g. if you work for FAANG and you base your life off of a FAANG type salary but now you move to a flyover state, the option of saying "well if you want me in the office, I quite!" is suddenly way less attractive. Unless you were prepared for that. Personally I wouldn't be but I also don't want to work for FAANG in the first place.

You have a relatively low base salary but they wave a bonus of 30% in front of you? Great! Just don't go buy a house with that bonus money (or be ready to deal with the consequences). Some of my dad's colleagues did that in the 80s. They lost their houses when the bonus was reduced/not paid any longer.
You believe the change was motivated purely by geographical norms? It was legal on geographical grounds but was obviously motivated on assets and revenue.
Hey just a heads up, you said 1 hour ago "you can donate via their profile here" and then 30 mins ago Andy comments and says he's making an account as we speak..

Did you just solicit donations without them even being signed up? If so, that feels weird, and I'd appreciate at least (as I cant speak for others) if you didn't do that without some heavy disclaimer text making clear that they've shown no interest yet. I love the concept of what your service does, but you can get users in other more honest ways than this.

Sure, why not: here's my $100 https://i.imgur.com/XwhkmzQ.png

Presumably that's a clever joke about cryptocurrencies. It took me a while to convince myself that the analogy made sense, and I'm not sure how much I appreciate it, but I suppose that slow confirmation times and questionable value are to be expected when dealing with cryptocurrencies.

I'm not aware of any SDR smartphones for the commercial market. They'd be practically unsellable because of regulations anyway. I'm sure you can hide a small SDR board into something like a Pinephone, though. You don't need the entire frequency range, only the frequencies your targets use, so you can cut down significantly on complex parts.

Both seem like issues to me? Either your paychecks are being adjusted for inflation (in which case they could be adjusted to the Bitcoin price) or they are not adjusted for inflation and each check is smaller than the last.

Dare I say its because AI succeeded. AI is no longer a barrier to entry, there's plenty of off the shelf libraries and python examples out there to get you going.

The result is, that a lot of under the hood intelligence is automated. And the inputs, outputs and process selection instead of process design are all that's left to hype up as a differentiator in an ever increasingly commoditized market.
I don't know if this applies to the States but at least in some European countries if you ever move to another country you are taxed for what you would have been expected to pay in taxes based on the profit the company made in the last years.

Paying yourself a high salary (as long as it's reasonable,
so as not to arouse suspicion of hidden profit distributions) allows the business entity to not make any profit on paper and therefore allows you to move to another country without having to pay this "exit tax".

It shouldn't matter how long it takes to mail after the first check is mailed, right?

It's pretty darn good and you can find it everywhere for quite cheap.
Great hacks, although you have to be aware of the trade-offs:

1. if you choose the wrong subset, you'll find a non optimum local min

2. still risk dead ends when expanding the model and lengthen the time to finding that out

3. a lot of public models are made from inaccurate datasets, so beware

Overall you have to start somewhere though, and your points are still valid.
You can only compress things so much though. You can't just tell people to show up and do only the productive n% of the hours. You can't force 2 days of perfect productivity out of people. That's not how any of this works. When you cut hours, you're cutting productive and unproductive hours at the same time, you don't get to cherry pick.

Or if you can cherry pick, go into management consulting - you'll be able to squeeze so much more out of everyone who still works full time by telling them to only do productive things at work.

While we're at it, we can tell people who gamble to only go to the casino on the days when they win.

My local town is quite safe and has trails criss-crossing it. But truthfully most Midwestern trails are 'trails-on-rails' and inhabit old railway right-of-ways. Usually pretty far off the beaten path to be sure.

For instance, I can ride 50 miles from my urban center (for what its worth) to the next one north, and be in countryside the whole time.

But that risk level of catching COVID is more or less a 1-time event. Once you've caught it and recovered (or gotten vaccinated) it's no longer a novel virus to your immune system and subsequent infections have an even lower risk for the vast majority of people. The real problem is when everyone in that 1% of hospitalizations catches it all at once, because we don't have nearly enough hospital beds to treat even a fraction of that many people.

If you're paying for some chicken wings, then you're clearly not actually paying with bitcoin as the transaction fee would cost more than your dinner.

From the sound of it the "Chivo app" is what you have to use - so government must be banking bitcoin and then issuing "Chivo-money" that's actually exchanged, backed by the bitcoin reserve.

Bit like the old 'gold standard'.
What's interesting though, is that the transfers are going to be asymmetric - bitcoins being sent in as remittance, then traded internally as Chivo-coins.
I guess there has to be a mechanism to allow conversion back to BTC (and then maybe dollars) to import goods - but the circulating Chivo-coin is value that's been conjured out of thin air (as long as there's confidence it's still backed up with BTC).

All quite fascinating - either a stroke of genius, or a disaster in the making.
While we are sharing meaningless anecdotes, almost everyone I know (since I live in Seattle) has been vaccinated. No one has reported any issues, a couple have since successfully had a child. None have even gotten a breakthrough infection of covid. Among friends I know from back east, who haven't gotten vaccinated, one had just turned 30, only health issue was obesity. He died. One was 35, best shape of any of my friends, was in ICU for 7 days with double pneumonia. And one miscarriage.

But hey, the good thing is, we also have data. And the data, shows no correlation between vaccination and these problems you're referring to, and yet a VERY HIGH correlation (and some good reasons to say causation) between getting covid and having these issues.
