Not quite and even if, on a too slow scale. While trees try hard to spread, to survive they need minimum environmental conditions and e.g. protection from plant eaters while they are small. Take the extension of the Sahara to the south in the 70ies. There were droughts, trees being cut and new trees being eaten by goats. Once the soil had become unprotected, the desert would extend.
Fortunately, there are now efforts to create the "great green wall" where new trees are planted and protected until they are strong enough to stand for themselves. This seems to be quite successful.
There are solutions for this:

So you're the only person in charge? Ask for stuff that people in charge have: more money, and staff.

I'm not saying this because I think you need more money and staff, you haven't mentioned either.

The reason you need to do this is to check what kind of organization you're working for. Do they value your presence? If they don't make a move on either of these issues, you know the answer and you can leave immediately. The job market is white hot right now, you don't need them. Either they're dumb and they don't realize they need you, or they're cheap and they think they can get you cheaply. They could also be reasonable and act like it.

Basically it's poker and you've got a decent hand.

Oh yeah, and don't let them do the "we're working on it" thing. Immediate raise, and some kind of job ad in a public place, now.

Pretty much the only place on the internet where the comments are as intelligent and informative - or more so - than the articles themselves.

Actually, that’s probably a much higher bar than needs leaping over - it’s pretty much the only place where the comments aren’t just a bunch of hate filled bile.
Thanks for testing. That 18ms result is actually much better than I expected for a shared mode. It got me curious, so I tried it and I was able to replicate it with my Realtek (I got 19ms). I'm still a bit skeptical about its real-world use, because I've experienced some garbled/distorted audio with some low latency modes. I also can't find that mode in Reaper, which usually has everything. Still, it looks promising.
If it is your intent, it's also disturbingly easy to hide behavior from code reviewers. The Underhanded C Coding Contest has a lot of examples of this type of stuff: http://www.underhanded-c.org/_page_id_25.html

I can already hear some of you starting to type a rant about how this actually is a C problem and not something that would happen in a modern language like ${YOUR_FAVORITE_LANGUAGE:-rust}; and to an extent it is true that C is especially vulnerable to this particular vector of attack, but like it or not a lot of open source software if it isn't written in C, depends on libraries that are. This includes the Linux kernel, OpenSSL, cURL. WebKit is written in C++ which might as well be C for the sake of this discussion. Other languages have other attack vectors, like the fractal-like dependency tree of NPM for example, something that has been demonstrated time and time again to be more than a hypothetical security risk.
LeGrand's Mosaic range is very similar. I would also be interested to know if there is a standard (although I suspect not).

https://www.legrand.fr/catalogue/interrupteurs-et-prises/mos...

It's a cute idea but Mosaic is quite expensive. Also, you still must take into account safety regulations eg adequately separating low and high voltage wiring behind the faceplate.
Though that approach is flawed, at least they stuck to their script, i.e., resisted social engineering.
rereading what I wrote, it sounds pretty terrible. I was just trying to be clever and failed.

However as to my original comment at the top of the post, I was pointing out that naive people are often and easily taken advantage of by others, and those others will often "play dumb". If someone's actions can reasonably be construed as malicious, then perhaps you misunderstood their actions, but 'stupidity' is absolutely something you should never assume in this situation.

As for the part about "people who use this saying are often naive, and worse, sometimes malicious", I was pointing out that assholes tend to see good, trusting people as instead being dumb and naive, and it is in the asshole's best interest to keep them that way. It was kind of half a joke, half serious.
In terms of raw volume of water no, sibling comment has done the maths. But there is another interesting effect that's tangentially relevant. Forested areas act as rainwater sponges. When you get heavy rainfall, if you've got nothing but tarmac or even grass, all that water runs straight off and into the nearest river. Which then bursts its banks and floods everything nearby, making building on floodplains a bloody stupid idea.

With forests, though, the depth of the roots means the water can sink more into the ground. It all still ends up in the river eventually, but over a much longer time period. Because the big pulse of water from the rainfall is attenuated, the river has more of a chance to drain away, so you get fewer, and less serious, floods.

The net effect is that while we'll lose land to rising sea levels, in some areas there's the opportunity to reclaim land currently too marginal to occupy. Nowhere near the same land area, but it's a worthwhile effect to be aware of where it applies.

The danger to Open Source is no longer lack of resources, apathy or corporate distrust, but the wave of faux-open-source licenses from the likes of MongoDB, Elastic or Redis Labs. That is why despite feeling mostly loathing towards Amazon.com, I applaud their forking those projects that renege on true open-source licenses.

Yes, you need to include all the steps, from dollars in the hand of the sender to local currency in the hand of the receiver. That is what Wells Fargo offers, and you want to compare to them, you need to provide the same service.

Of course you can charge less if you do less of the work. But that is meaningless. Tell us the actual fees from money in hand to money in hand.
Having a low debt to GDP ratio doesn’t help if nobody is willing to lend you money. The yoeld on 10 year Turkish bonds is ~20%. In contrast it’s way cheaper for Greece to pay interest on their debt despite having an over 200% debt ratio since they can borow with much lower interest (~1.3%).

You are getting security updates but not OS updates. OS updates actually stop after 1 or 2 years on LG TV. So if you look at the HBO max app for instance is for 2018+ models (web os 4 and more). I have a TV from 2017 with web OS 3 and I can't get the HBO max app.

Bitcoin does not have counterparty risk. Your coins remain yours regardless of who else was doing risky bets and went bankrupt. (Provided you hold your own keys.)

As for volatility, that's purely a function of holding distribution and market liquidity (and the market right now is far from saturated - hence 30% dips and huge potential upside in the future). As soon as the "whales" are thinly spread across the globe, you don't have a risk of your coins' value suddenly crash because of one guy selling his holdings.
The only downside I've found with my mid-drive is it chews through chains quite quickly.

They burned everyone out of the market with venture capital funding they got between Jul 1994 and May 1997, at which point they went public? The $8M from Kleiner Perkins in 1995 seems like a small amount to have been possible to burn everyone out of the market:

Are Target and Walmart and Home Depot and all other retail stores also hiding profits and choosing to report only 2% to 4% profit margins to avoid paying taxes for the past few decades? Could it not be that the retail business has optimized down to low single digit profit margins?

Seems like a baseless conspiracy theory.

Backenders struggle with the same thing in the frontend but in reverse. For frontend, you need to be interacting constantly - the shorter the loop between code and frontend, the better.

Not surprising considering all life on earth evolved when the atmosphere had between 5 and 10 times as much CO2 as today. At the current levels plants are, essentially, suffocating from lock of CO2, so I small increase can have a huge affect on their growth rates (as greenhouse operators know).

I remember reading that CO2 levels have been dropping for the last 500 million years, and, during the last Ice age, CO2 level dropped as low as 180ppm. Had they reached 150ppm, all surface life would have died, and humans wouldn't have made it.

Why is ML easier than social skills? I think because social skills hit your emotions.

With that said—some advice.

2 types of social skills:

1 - Approach

2 - Long term / friendship / partnership

Both are very different. I'm good at the first, but not great at the second.

For the first:

1 - Make sure you are healthy and getting healthier. Fitness first. (I recommend Partner Acrobatics—and once strong enough BJJ. These are also social. Best path to strength is through gymnastics). Get a personal trainer if you can.

2 - Learn to get over rejection. It will happen a bunch—by both males and females. A lot of people—especially older, already have friends. They don't need more.

3 - Join hobby-based groups. What do you really like? Do it with a group. Find a group. And make sure you really like what you do. The energy you give off will bring people to you.

For the long term:

1 - Time management is crucial.

2 - Invite people over for dinners

3 - Make sure you plan lots of activites

4 - Make sure you can view social events on your calendar app so you fill every day

5 - Learn to listen.

6 - Learn to follow up with people about really meaningful events / people / projects in their lives and call/see them every 3 months or less. Ideally you can find someone you talk to every day :) And then an ever growing number of people in the other buckets.

Good luck!!
It's interesting to see how human understanding differs when it comes to complex, yet clearly defined topics, like machine-learning/Transformers.

For comparison, my understanding of Transformers, after going through Peter Bloem's "Transformers from scratch" [1], implementing/understanding the code and the actual flow of the mathematical quantities, my understanding is that:

- Transformers consist of 3 main parts: 1. Encoders/Decoders (I/O conversion), 2. Self-attention (Indexing), 3. Feed-forward trainable network (Memory).

- The Feed-forward is the most simple kind of (an input->single-layer) neural net, actually often implemented by a Conv1d layer, which is a simple matrix multiply plus a bias and activation.

- The most interesting part is the Multi-head self-attention, which I understand as [2] a randomly-initialized multi-dimensional indexing system where different heads focus on different variations of the indexed token instance (token = initially e.g. a word or a part of a word) with respect to its containing sequence/context. Such encoded token instance contains information about all other tokens of the input sequence = a.k.a. self-attention, and these tokens vary based on how the given "attention head" was (randomly) initialized.

The part that really hits you is when you understand that for a Transformer, a token is not unique only due to its content/identity (and due to all other tokens in the given context/sentence), but also due to its position in the context -- e.g. to the Transformer, the word "the" at the first position is a completely different word to the word "the" on e.g. the second position (even if the rest of the context would be the same). (Which is obviously a massive waste of space if you think about it, but at the same time, at the moment, the only/best way of doing it, because it moves a massive amount of processing from inference time to the training time - which is what our current von-Neumann hardware architectures require.)

Well said. Humans are thoroughly domesticated and I am unsure there is any path forward that doesn't further deepen this.
That's an orthogonal issue. There are plenty of non-crypto investment scams (ask your local VC), phishing etc. Some part of the population will always be robbed or scammed, regardless of the name of your country, inflation rate or what currency you use to pay the bills.

Crypto may be higher on radar because there's lure of high returns because market is expanding rapidly, and, as in any bubble, some things will pop and some people will hold the bag. Just like with dotcom bubble or california gold rush.

PS. Even though California rush left most people without much direct profit, the indirect profit was that California was populated, infrastructure developed and it became an important part of the global economy, and as a free state was one more place where people could move to build a better future for themselves, even if they were not directly interested in the gold itself.

AWS embraces Fedora Linux for its cloud-based Amazon Linux
Yeah, that's a terrible example since some places do use comma as a dollars/cents separator, and others don't. And some people use floats for currency (with the obvious caveats), and might read this as "_ is the same as a decimal point".

They really should just use a simpler example, like 10_000_000 being easier to read as "10 million" than 10000000.

Isn't this called Autism (spectrum disorder)? I've heard stories about people coming of age suddenly realizing that people less intelligent then them are better at the social game, how can it be?? And then they realize it is something others are born with, others don't need to analyze and learn all the time.

A friend of mine on the spectrum recommended "The Tao of Badass" to me once, he tried to have some conversations on the bus after reading it, he said it worked for him, but still tired him out, he just didn't care. Makes smile, I'm sorry. I have no idea how it is, I was born with the skills, apparently.

FYI, I find this friend to be a fascinating person and a good friend. He hates change, he still lives with his parents pushing 40, but he is so real, so genuine, it's all I want in a friend. He'll never ask about my weekend, and when he does I feel it's fake (applying tricks from Tao of badass), he'll ask what my favorite thing was yesterday or how something makes me feel :D. But we can have passionate discussions about sci-fi or philosophy. He said he was called a high functioning autistic person, I joke that this means he is almost human. I got to know him at work, he could be exhausting, standing at my desk for literal hours asking questions. But I felt that I was a poor scientist if I couldn't answer them or explain why I couldn't answer them. He deeply appreciated that.

He works somewhere else now, I send him a message every now and them. I invited him to meet each other some time back. It was fun, he'll never contact me, but I don't mind.
Ask HN: Why are developers so stingy with “rows per page”?
Why the heck am I usually allowed only 20 or 50 or maybe 100 rows per page with whatever I’m looking at?

Is there some sort of shortage of CPU time?

Why not all me to see 500 or 1000 rows per page so I can scroll through the things you’re trying to sell me without needing to press “next” every 5 seconds?

Developers please, there’s no shortage of “rows”. Give us more.

I don't really disagree with your point, but personal experience tells me that inherent competence and motivation have far more impact on the value an employee can deliver than raw experience (on the timescales of weeks or months, which is the point we are focused on here).

I'm not sure when the law changed here (UK); until a few years ago, it was a criminal offence to ride a powered vehicle on the footway, and a different criminal offence to ride an electric scooter on the carriageway (not taxed, not certified for safety). So it was illegaal to ride an electric scooter on public land.

Now local authorities are making deals with Chinese scooter-rental companies, and little scooter parks are popping up on the footway all over town. I nearly got knocked down by a rental e-scooter just yesterday - I was walking on the footway, the scooter zoomed past me with 3" clearance.

I disapprove of local authorities making deals with retailers (advertising hoardings on the footway) and scooter firms to "monetise" space that's supposed to be reserved for pedestrians.
