> These 9-10 figure valuations don't bring them actual legitimacy from crypto people.

A project having VC from makes me require a bit more validation of it's value add if anything. If a project is gaining steam on it's own account, it's much easier to believe it has some real world value. Convincing some deep pockets that your Decentralized ML Crypto Neural Net Bath Soap Dispenser is worth investing in doesn't seem too hard at the moment.
Why would you want to drain your customer's batteries?

But there needs to be a discussion if that short cuircuit is our behavior in light of this. Of course the number could be higher if we didn't react, but I would guess destroying the basis of living for so many people is also quite significant and another "new" thing.

And if this sales tactic would be applied to any security issue you can more or less forget about civil liberties.

"implies non-blocking fds"

I don't think the open and close calls respect non-blocking on linux when operating on files (specifically files, not sockets - for sockets the return is always quick as far as I know). From man open(2), "I/O operations will (briefly) block when device activity is required, regardless of whether O_NONBLOCK is set". And my recollection is that they will non-briefly block if the problem is a hanging NFS mount.

"What are you going to do when they don't return? Accumulate dead threads and inconsistent shared application state?"

Good point. My practice is to use child processes. These can be killed, and so I do not run into this. But subprocesses ratchets up the amount of work to be done, because you then need to do async IPC. So it's now a lot of extra work. It's even worse for multiplatform stuff because now you are exposed to platform differences (e.g. select is suboptimal on Linux, but poll is not available on Windows).

As you say, using threads within same proc would lead to stale threads. In some contexts this would be tolerable but it is not nearly as simple+clean as I presented.

Thinking hard about addressing this on Linux brings me down, every time. I hope io_uring will make pure async practical within a single process. Even if it does, the multiplatform story will remain complex. I am not fond of your disregard for user data in the (tangential) discussion about disappearing filesystems, but you have won me over to embracing the main thread in this context.
The machine is not running POSIX, it's running Linux which is POSIX-ey, and an RTOS does not guarantee that system calls do not block. The insistence on only referring to POSIX was what caused the O_PONIES debate in the first place.

If one assumes that "there is no upper bound on the completion time", then that also means assuming that a poll/read/write will never return within the lifetime of the machine as it could block for that long (maybe you're using this computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nm0POwEtiqE), and so it is impossible to implement a functioning, responsive application, much less a game.

In the real-world you need to make slightly more reasonable assumptions. And, again, when interacting with device files you must refer to the kernel documentation rather than POSIX, as POSIX does not describe how these files work in any meaningful way or form.
With some of this stuff there's specifications that can be obtuse. It takes some research to discover what iOS expects an input to look like.

For your shortcut, without knowing the specific step you're stuck at, first get the current date. You'll then want to format the date using the Calender->Format Date block, setting the custom format to what you need based on these rules: https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime-970915

I don't have Numbers, but maybe figuring out A1 spreadsheet notation might help.

My general tips: use a whiteboard or a notebook to sketch out your pipeline, study other people's Shortcuts to learn new tricks, use the alert and exit blocks to debug stuff and finally, make sure you're coercing/casting data into types that Shortcuts can use (Scripting->Get Type will help).

> t means it’s less likely than other more compelling explanations.

I don't really think so. We can safely say we are exploring where the latest originated and comparison of hypotheses overall likelihood is difficult to do in even simple cases and huge data in a well defined regime like physics. Our back of the napkin handwaves are piss in the wind.

> The case distribution and timing makes it extremely likely that it emerged in the region, yes.

It emerged in a population but originated in a particular body, it makes it almost pointless to say it came from this or that country when we are trying to understand the actual body it came from. (I say body because there is another thread discussing mouse origins).

> Given the evidence, the only reason for claiming that vaccine selective pressure is the only or even most likely explanation is a statement driven by ideology not reality.

Totally. I think someone is exploring one of their pet theory and how it fits with this evidence.

Self-determination and self-organization on a wide scale. There's much less incentives to affect your environment and community negatively when decisions are taken collectively, than when decisions are taken by a minority reaping benefits but not suffering from negative consequences (pollution, bad working conditions, etc).

If anything, the COVID crisis has shown that health workers care and will go to great lengths of creativity to counteract the bureaucracy and lack of resources (remember the trashbag suits? the homesewn masks?). Now imagine if these people were in charge of organizing healthcare instead of managers? I can only imagine much better outcomes for everyone involved. And the same is true across most (all?) industries and areas of life.

This reminds me of JC Penney's attempts to switch from bullshit discounts to "everyday low pricing"[1]. Sales dropped 20%.

I think the sad reality is that, despite how people like to think of themselves as rational actors who consider the pros and cons of each purchase, these tactics work. The only way to curtail stuff like this is by interfering in the free market - i.e. regulation.

> But she wanted be able to watch YouTube on her TV since Apple removed it without warning from her AppleTV device.

Apple did not remove the Youtube app. Youtube made changes that caused their app to no longer work on older Apple TVs. The Apple TV that are no longer compatible with YouTube’s app (and CBS and MLB) were released before 2015.

It is reasonable that an Apple TV released in 2012 to not have the technical specifications to be compatible with other providers after Mar 2021 due to rapid changes in technology and software.

Since all crypto crap uses their own terminology devoid of meaning, it's hard to figure out what something is.

However, for something called Tezos Baker the minimum requirements are: https://wiki.tezosagora.org/use/baking/setting-up-a-secure-b...

- Disk: 100 GB SSD (SSD is highly recommended over HDD)

- Memory: Recommended RAM for running a Tezos Node is 8GB

- CPU: Running with at least 2 cores is recommended

So, while technically you can run it on Raspberry Pi, it's pushing it.
I lived in the Washington, DC area for ten years and used its train system every day, and it pales in comparison to Berlin.

> Calling my thought a "fallacy" because I've made up my mind prematurely makes no sense.

Fallacy can be determined by your argument alone.

In fact, I'm more inclined to side on you on the issue. One should not accept bad or fallacious arguments just because one has inclination to agree with the result.

That is a consequence of not having proper UI/UX people on the team.
Sadly, many charities are borderline fraudulent. Always ask what their administration fee is. I remember getting a call on Memorial Day asking for donations to veterans. I asked what the administration fee was and he said 90%. I said, "No, I mean what do you take to process these payments and make the calls?" He repeated, "90%." I was floored.

Anyway, to answer the OP's question, you need to save at least some of it. Just because you are making money now doesn't mean you will make it in the future. Plan for a life-changing event where you are unable to make money, or even worse, you are reliant on others to take care of you. Best to have something stored away, preferably an appreciating liquid asset so you can get to it fairly quickly.

A 6 figure sum did hold up in actual court though -- it initially landed there a few months before he died, and was finalized a few months after. So from the perspective of someone watching this at the time, it's still really not that ridiculous of a worry.
When I was in college I remember some fellow students being overjoyed to find quality older hardware on Offerup, in order to keep up with the schoolwork we were learning, and practice on their own.

I personally find that Mac hardware holds its utility far beyond its value, and that's even recognizing that most Mac products hold value in the second-hand market.

I saw a Mac Pro 5.1 ( same generation as your mini ) on craigslist recently, refurbished, but selling for four figures.
Determining that it is only severe as the flu will take time and the flu is not a monolithic entity. Beyond that, even if rationally it is no worse than the flu, there is going to be a non-trivial segment of people and their elected representatives that are going to demand we contain COVID spread even if the cost outweighs the benefits in the opinion of many others.
Lab-leak hypotheses have nothing to do with this conversation.

Whether or not Sars-CoV2 came from animal transmission or a lab leak has zero bearing on where Omicron came from.

How would you respond to the argument that the size of the database should be accounted for when computing the size of the total model? How does the latency of the database lookup compare to the extra latency from running the full size gpt3?
I'm the one who missed something: each of my examples called its functions with no arguments. Your approach would, of course work when the functions are called with no arguments or the same arguments.

(first-working
(get-it-from-the-cache (or local-cache default-cache))
(get-it-from-the-database current-database-connection)
(get-it-from-an-external-api (ask-user-for-api-credentials))
(compute-it-the-slow-way foo bar baz)
default-value)

Each expression can be arbitrary code where to do something similar in Python you'd need to compute a thunk in advance.

There's also an advantage in clarity because an abstraction can be defined. Once you know what first-working is for, the purpose of this block of code is clear as soon as you read the first token. Using a pattern instead of an abstraction, it's necessary to read the whole loop to make sure it's really the pattern you think it is.
Since the moment humans traded commercially, getting the highest price for anything has been the norm. So I wouldn't call it an American thing and also not a neoliberal thing. It's basic commerce.
Trying to smear genetic research with the R-word is fairly close to poison in my view. If such sentiments grow and take hold, it will be next to impossible to research controversial topics in human genetics with an open mind, or receive funding for such research unless you stay within a narrow acceptable corridor of allowed explanations. Which sounds more like religion than science.

This is a good article covering the problem from last year's New Yorker:

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/09/13/can-progressiv...

We are already perilously close to regarding any genetic research into human cognitive (dis)abilities or psychological traits as taboo. That would be a self-inflicted wound, because

a) it is hard to remedy anything that you refuse to study;

b) if countries such as China take the advantage, the democratic West will develop a strategic weakness in vitally important science.

Beans and grains reduced severity of symptoms.
I think the OP's point is that running these optimizations in production as-is is dangerous because future code changes in the various places could accidentally impede the optimizer's ability to apply all the transformations that users of the codebase expect.

The obvious solution is to query the optimizer to get the final transformation as actual Julia code, and replace the pre-transform code with the post-transform optimized code, and disable any further optimization (aside from very trivial transforms that aren't worth directly including). This ensures that one doesn't accidentally lose the amazing benefits of this symbolic optimization approach on a given piece of code, and that production code always keeps its performance and correctness.
> I mean conceptually the idea is "money without intermediaries"

Then what is Web3? Cryptocurrency has been a thing for a little while now, surely Web3 isn't just that but with a new name. I think the idea is that applications can in some way utilize the blockchain to form a new type of application for the web, but I've yet to see any useful application ideas that truly benefit from a blockchain.
These claims sounds very bold to me, especially considering THL spends 1/3 of their budget targeting individuals to consider a plant based diet. If you want to keep eating meat it feels questionable at best to donate to an organization like this.

However, if you look at the comprehensive review of the Animal Charity Evaluators, they claim that for every dollar spent in corporate outreach, they save -10 to 40 (!) animals. The source mentions something about "proportional welfare improvements" which might skew the numbers, but even then this seems insanely high. Don't get me wrong, I believe changing how corporations handle animals will have a way bigger impact than an individual going vegan, but i don't see how saying "this chicken has a 300% better life, so we saved 3 chickens" helps. Or something like that, because I can't find the real method used here. This seems like creative juggling with numbers.
Find some charities that interest you then hit up a site like https://www.charitynavigator.org/ and see if they are in the database, if they are see how they are rated, make sure they aren't spending 95% of what they raise on salaries and advertising expenses, etc.

Another, less kind answer: it was the flavor of the month about a dozen years ago, some devs decided to build everything in Clojure, now the software that runs entire large companies is in Clojure, nobody knows how to maintain it, so the only ones left over take large salaries.
