Yes he gets a cookie for reading the tea leaves and telling the country what they wanted to hear. Thats his signature move if you haven't realized. Where he gets a lump of coal is following through. His state department totally botched the attempt to rein in China starting the with ZTE and Huawei debacles. If you are going to fire the shot you better not miss. He has hurt the US so much by not taking that issue seriously and doing things strategically. Those consequences have spilled over into the Biden years and will continue to harm the US long after Trump's first administration have moved on. When Obama was under the same situation with Russia in the early 2010s, one can argue that he put more effort into coming up with a viable strategy to punish them for their actions.
> your advice based on new evidence is

Because based on that old evidence that seemed so sure at a certain moment in time the lives of hundreds of millions of people were negatively affected (lockdowns, job losses etc), so one could forgive a part of those people for not giving a damn about the evidence subsequently changing and we being closer to the truth, in a scientific way.

Almost no-one cares about science, even the majority of people who materially support science by giving scientists money don't care about science (most of them have ulterior motives, like the ability to militarily be superior relative to their foes based on said science, or the ability to gain even more money compared to what they put in etc), long story short almost nobody really cares about science in the way that (some) scientists do, i.e. getting us closer to the "truth" (whatever that "truth" is).

In that respect, telling those hundreds of millions of people something like "but, you see, we were doing science when we were negatively affecting your lives based on evidence that proved out to be further to the truth compared to the evidence that we have now" means, in the best case scenario, that you're taunting them, in the worst case, that you're taking those millions of people for utter fools that should just sit like ducks in the way of science.

This reminds me a useful feature of Lotus Word Pro 96:

To "the cloud" :P

More seriously, "serverless" usually just means you aren't supposed to worry about server/cluster management, not that there are no servers anywhere. So it really means "load your data to Redshift, wherever that lives".

Not only are they paid a lot, but they basically start their careers being paid lavishly in places like the SF Bay Area. To a 22 year old fresh grad, what does it tell you when life immediately rewards you with a top 10% income bracket out of university?

This extends to the techno-elite as well. What drives the CEO of an electric car company to declare that the way to improve urban mobility is to build roads in tunnels underground? Well, clearly he must be doing something right, he's the richest man on earth!

Okay? I don't think that there is any unique attack on academic and research integrity of our institutions. If those institutions could survive jim crow, etc. I'm guessing they can survive whatever is happening right now.
I really hate it that big companies are rolling their own CPU now. Soon, you're not a serious developer if you don't have your own CPU. And everybody is stuck in some walled garden.

I mean, it's great that the threshold to produce ICs is now lower, but is this really the way forward? Shouldn't we have separate CPU companies, so that everybody can benefit from progress, not only the mega corporations?
What if multiple nations' governments collaborated on this? The recent global minimum corporate tax agreement indicates that international cooperation isn't completely impossible. And it's not as if the current American administration is a big fan of Facebook.
Not quite.

It's an implicit right (whether fundamental or not), and the courts recognized freedom of association as being implicitly necessary to fully exercise the rights explicitly recognized in the first amendment.

It's not freedom to join vs freedom to leave, but whether a contractual agreement can limit this right; can a contractual agreement exclude a party from associating with other parties.

Exclusive labor contracts are one example (presuming the company's agreement to exclusivity was truly voluntarily, which is debatable), but what about other contracts?

Given that every purchase is a contractual agreement, could Sony put a clause in the sales agreement that says the buyer can never buy another brand of TV? What if it was only while you owned and used the Sony TV? What if your Sony TV discovers another brand TV on your home network and bricks itself until you get rid of other TV?

The right to a secret vote is equally implicit in the constitution, but we wouldn't hold a contract that forfeits that right to be valid, just as a contract requiring someone to vote a certain way would be illegal.
AWS Mainframe Modernization
Literally every git GUI I've used has screwed up a git repository at some point, requiring relatively-advanced CLI use to untangle it. They're wildly untrustworthy IMO. They also almost never perform reasonably on truly large repos, aside from gitk.

Since using a GUI has inevitably required me to learn CLI in depth, and adds the complexity of figuring out what the hell the GUI actually did because of course it doesn't tell you, I'm basically 100% CLI as well.
My impression is

Athena = Lambda + S3 (what i would call true serverless)

Redshift Serverless = Auto AWS Managed EC2 instances with local storage + S3

Although I could be wrong as I just had a quick 5 minute look at it...
I already authed as me on my machine. Annoying to also have to auth as me in the container.

Or have we reached the stage where folks have secrets management for containers fully orchestrated at a personal user level?
You know, it is so far in the past now I cannot recall if "The 6845 was only in the Videx cards" is true or not. I suspect you are right and I am confusing Apple's weird video RAM layout with the 6845. Now I need to go check on my old Apple II.

Update: You are correct. It appears I have reached "that age."
Ok first - no it doesn't make you an irredeemable piece of shit or a bad person. But if you do it in a weird way it does mean that you're someone who's lacking in social skills. We're talking in abstract ideas so I can't possibly know what you meant but:

blitzar: what the fuck is wrong with you, smcl, that's two goals you've cost us because you lost your man

and

blitzar: for fuck's sake, smcl, focus, watch #11 he's killing us with those runs. we're not out of the game but you need to step it up

are two ways you as a teammate could probably admonish me for costing our team a couple of goals. Both involve swearing, both are blunt and establish some fault. One is useless ranting, and will probably heap misery on the teammate and make them wish for the final whistle. The other is relatively productive and could possibly help (depending on how useless or hungover I am). So it depends, if by "called out" you mean something like #1 then I strongly disagree. If it's #2 then cool, I'd like you as a teammate :)

But on that original topic, I think that when someone says they think "that's a stupid idea" is unconstructive or damaging, it doesn't mean they want to be coddled, given a treat and told they're special. It just means that's a needlessly confrontational approach. If that person at the top of this thread is really on the same wavelength with some people that they can openly talk like that, more power to them. But I suspect what's actually happening is a handful of students were talking that way, and most people secretly resented it and didn't enjoy being around them because of how they acted.

Then again, if it's coming from Feynmann I imagine there's something in the tone, delivery or context that would soften the blow :)

Elon doesn't own it as much as it controls it.

And who else would own it anyway if it was not it? One of the main arguments against taxes are the fact the governement is incompetent in the ways to spend it compared to industrials who actually made money BECAUSE they were creating value.

This may not be true always, but as a french person, in this case the american governement is pretty incompetent at doing stuff for the people such as universal healthcare, while elon musk is pretty efficient at creating industries.

The incompetence of the governement and the lack of universal high quality education and healthcare is not a money problem at all... Maybe it should get itself in check before stealing efficient people's money.

(not even considering that a lot of laypeople have made more money investing in Elon's industries stock than the governement will ever do for them)
Exactly this. I've been trying to get a handle on Vulkan and it's just _dense_. The way it's written I feel like you basically have to understand GPUs inside and out to use it. There's no such thing as a 'reasonable default' to it. WebGPU is a bit better, but still quite dense. We absolutely need a standardized higher level interface to the hardware, but like you said, that's not what Vulkan is.
You seem to have misread the post. The data is encrypted using a key on the device. It is end-to-end encrypted. The key is encrypted on device and backed up to Google and protected by a security chip that requires verification from the device to retrieve (unwrap the Titan encryption), which neither Google nor anybody else can pass because the security chip would lock them out after too many attempts. Even if they were to succeed in retrieving it, they would not be able to unwrap the device encryption of the key.
I'm really confused about how air pollution can be measured in deaths. I get how air pollution can shorten lifespan, but how do you attribute a specific death, other than extreme cases, to air pollution? When someone claims that 10 million deaths a year should be attributed to air pollution, what exactly do they mean, in a nutshell?

As far as I have seen (I prefer the cmdline myself) Git UIs usually have all sorts of features to select what changes should go into what commits down to single text lines. IMHO this sort of fine grained 'commit management' would be the only reason to use a git UI over what the command line offers.

Could you explain what makes this tech better than Wifi? Does it have better range/deal with interference better?

My impression was that the high speed profile of 5G was basically the same as that of Wifi, with exactly the same issues. Am I wrong/is it better in lower speed modes?
Why would telecoms offer a service that could compete with their own?
so i'm guessing this means they use 5g in their warehouses for the their robots/cameras/etc and they've turned it into a product?

it's still a little unclear to me when 5g becomes a better option than 802.11. the standard bands are just a little faster than lte (which 802.11 outperforms) and the mmwave high bandwidth stuff requires line of sight with no occlusion. 802.11 seems better all around, it can work at high bandwidth without the line of sight requirements... especially considering that most mobile devices are designed to switch between 802.11 and mobile.
I look forward to the next stage of cloud hype - dataless - so I don't have to worry about the nuances of data management and I can just run my analytics.
Similar experience, unfortunately, and this is common to other search engines like Bing or DuckDuckGo.

This presumes that the metrics they optimize for are intended to represent usefulness to actual users and not, say, ad revenue. Even if they do intend to optimize for usefulness, this doesn't mean that they have metrics that accurately represent that.

I also think you're underestimating average users. Anecdotally I've heard my parents complain repeatedly about the incoherent, auto-generated, affiliate link spam that plagues product searches.
`git add -p` does that as well, it's effectively what the GUIs are using. You can also [e]dit each thing and rewrite as desired, though it can be a bit fiddly.

UIs can be nicer though for rewriting / making finer-grained splits than the hunks that -p decides on, definitely agreed there. I have broken out a UI just to simplify staging some gnarly commits. GUIs are also often nicer for understanding and resolving nasty three-way merge conflicts.
These rules seem targeted at independent/citizen journalists like Andy Ngo.

Looks like a really cool idea to build on the formally verified C code and building everything else in Rust on top.

I defiantly think all the embedded Rust and even others will end up sharing lots of code.

I would like to spend some time working Datomic style on a more powerful immutable DB that could run on different KV interfaces. Lots of configuration should more immutable.
Hackathons are not about tech, they are about business value now. They are a chance for individual contributors or low level managers to present business ideas to their bosses. Bosses don’t really care about tech.
Yes, the actions of two unrelated third parties can impact your job. For instance, if the company you work at is bought by a private equity firm that fires all of the workers, the sale of the company was still legal - even if it infringes on your "right to work." Likewise, employers can enter into contracts with other third parties that require them to change their contract with other employees. This is basic freedom of contract & association. Right-to-work laws make it so that companies are banned from voluntarily agreeing to such contracts with unions. The contract with the private equity firm remains legal.

In my view, the word games are around the phrase "right to work." Freedom of contract and association is quite unambiguous.

If the Twitter thread is accurate, their API received a list of DB field (and their JSON names to use) from the client. It was hard to guess names of fields, so someone decided to fuzz it a little bit and the API endpoint returned all existing fields in the database.

Google Told to Turn over Documents in Activists’ U.S. Labor Case
I'd really like to see some performance benchmarks for this kind of libraries. We've been using weasyprint to generate pdfs from html but the performance was terrible: > 10 seconds for 5-6 pages and close to 100% CPU (on crappy hardware and lots of nested tables).

Using headless chrome and puppeteer, same hardware and same html, we managed to get it to 2-3 seconds and barely noticeable CPU change.

Anyone got more ideas to share? Removing the dependency on yet another docker service (running puppeteer) would be nice.
As the author admits at the end, nothing is gained by introducing category-theoretic language here.

Abstraction should be introduced only when it aids understanding or problem solving. Shoehorning functors into basic topics like the Fibonacci sequence leaves a bad taste in my mouth. It gives the impression that category theory is just some contentless linguistic gloss, instead of, for example, a useful tool for facilitating computations in algebraic topology.

This can be remedied with immediate feed back loops. There was an experiment where native Japanese speakers were taught to hear the difference between the English language R and L, which native Japanese speakers interpret as a sound that is sort of like an R, but kind of in the middle of the two.

Using an immediate feedback loop, where they heard the R and had to say if it was R or not, then L etc etc. They were able to pretty quickly grasp the difference.

After being able to notice this difference, it becomes easier to be able to pronounce these sounds that aren't found in one's native language.

This has been my experience when learning French(which has many sounds not used in English)

I'm being honest here. Reading along I randomly picked 987 from my brain. I scrambled that to 897. Subtracting the smaller from the larger I got 90, per the instructions. So I am unable to tell you the remaining digits starting with a number that isn't 9 or 0.... Maybe I'm a "you must be fun to talk to at parties" kind of guy.
My current employer had an interesting twist on this: they contacted my references, but not to get the actual references (they'd already decided to hire me), but to find out what sorts of things they could do to help me do my best work.

VSCode’s GUI handles most of what I use -p for, though if I need to use `s` inside -p I drop to the integrated terminal. Not sure if the gui has an equivalent but I haven’t noticed it.

Stash on the other hand isn’t missing anything I care about: the gui lets you name stashes if you want, apply latest, etc…
But that's not to say it's the best idea. Athena is mostly for S3; AWS say so.

From their FAQ [1]:

Q: What is the difference between Amazon Athena, Amazon EMR, and Amazon Redshift?

[...] Amazon Redshift provides the fastest query performance for enterprise reporting and business intelligence workloads, particularly those involving extremely complex SQL with multiple joins and sub-queries.

[...] Amazon Athena provides the easiest way to run ad-hoc queries for data in S3 without the need to setup or manage any servers.

Elsewhere they also recommend Athena for unstructured data. This and a relational database like Postgres are fundamentally different and you shouldn't use one when your use case is primarily meant for the other.
