On windows , I have used over 25 different monitors over the years, I have found these two sizes to be the best:

32” at 4k (native res, 1:1)

30” 2560-by-1600 (native res, 1:1)
( few monitors support this physically, but two are my goto: old 30” apple studio displays , and a 30” old dell monitor. Both can be found on eBay at very low cost , but do use 2 to 4x the power draw as modern monitors)
It strikes me that when we say we’re “signing” a file/commit/etc. (using a key), a “seal” is probably a more appropriate analogy, since someone could steal your key just as someone could steal the seal.

So.. erm...

It can be tricky looking back to younger years and wondering "what changed." Sometimes it's you that changed.

Consider that Nazi Germany hosted an olympics. During the cold war, the olympics was a very lively proxy for soviet-nato competition... with a lot of nationalist propaganda.

Does no one care, or no one in your immediate circle? Did it become more of a propaganda op, or do you just see it more like that today than as a child. I think the olympics are still quite big, generally.

Sometimes it's us that changed.
I think you're right. This may be political posturing to appease someone.

CoPilot is helpless if it needs to do more than just regurgitate someone else's code.

Toilets are not mystical mechanisms; the flush is simply pouring water into the bowl. When the tank's empty, or (as is common now with "low flow" toilets) insufficient to the job, pouring more water into the bowl from a bucket or jug will work.

I submit that that aint "broke". You're "broke" when you have to decide whether to repair the car so you can get to work, or repair the heater so you can sleep and shower and stuff, or buy food. "Broke" is when you know all the places you can hit for free crackers on your way to somewhere else.

It's ultimately a question of intention, of directionality. Do you live to eat, or eat to live?

The scientific view is that there is a pre-existing world out there, and a Way Things Work, and if we observe and struggle enough we can understand it.

The religous/simulation approach gives primacy to the soul/consciousness, and has the world as a driver of plot.

It's top-down vs bottom-up. Do we need to simulate a trillion trillion neurons to model a single brain, or is a neuron a concept that gives scientists something to talk about?
Totally agree with your sarcastic comment, but you shouldn't fall into the fallacy of condemning his ideas just because he doesn't follow through with them. let's answer critically.

Its clear that current implementations of decentralized finance are also deregulated. There is a reason that we have some regulation, every single financial scam that is regulated in centralized systems is currently active in decentralized systems. Your concept of decentralization has been corrupted from the start.
Hmm no I am not saying that. The problem is that if they would meet offline they wouldnt be a group of 20.000 people or so in one room with the easy possibility to spread their worldview. Free speech is something valuable but beeing able to downstream information to thousand of people instant that easy is a problem. There is a difference between free speach and lying with intent to spread a certain world view.

Edit; As I said I’m a libertarian and a group of whatever people talking what ever where ever is totally fine with me but manipulating people with intent is not protected by the First Amendment And shouldn’t be confused with free speech

I agree that you can learn more facts about place than you can by visiting for a few days, I think this is kind of misleading. I've mostly interacted with the world through the internet and have a decent sense for other cultures, world leaders, political systems, leading exports, types of food, etc but the <20 days I've spent abroad really feel like much richer experiences and were very eye opening. I think globalism and the internet make us think the world is a little smaller than it is.

I love this, yes.

Root cause analysis ("How did this thing happen in the first place, does it exist anywhere else, and how can we prevent it from happening again?") should be a core part of our work in Alpha-Omega, and we should include this information in our publications.

To the larger point -- the idea of "open sourcing the process for finding vulnerabilities in open source" captures a lot of the work already being done in OpenSSF, but there's a lot more we can do. (If you're interested in helping us with this, we'd love to have you!)
It's mostly the way the Olympics are covered on TV that changed, I think.

> Propaganda fest for authoritarian regimes

This hasn't changed though. Rather than a celebration of sport and achievements, the modern Olympic quickly become ultra-chauvinistic, and not just for authoritarian regimes.
The basis for every DTC brand is paid advertising. Advertising definitely works, especially in B2B contexts when you can directly track activity to a sale. But there's definitely marginal returns on it once you saturate your market.
They also added too many sports recently in both summer and winter Games in order to drive tv viewing numbers up. That's diluted the quality, think the skateboard competition in the last summer games.

https://astro.ucla.edu/~wright/CosmoCalc.html says this galaxy is ~1.1 Gly, so "not exactly close" whatever that means on a cosmic scale. Intriguingly, this event took place when life on Earth barely existed at all...

Edit: at 1,5x10¹¹ solar masses, the galaxy is not at all small (and neither are the BH involved!!!) it's in the same ballpark of the Milky Way.
>Do those attempt to be SI?

Time for SI is still seconds.

Which isn't base-10, yet is SI. So depends on if you accept adopted SI, or want to jump on the base-10 SI clock/time bandwagon.

And lat/lon is based on angles, not distance, with lon coming from time (delta time between solar noon in two locations).

But the SI unit(less) for angles is radians.

So... no, but it depends on how you interpret multiple SI inconsistencies.
The litter robot is great as long as you empty the tray every few days. It runs into issues (like many things) if you let it go too long.

> Smoking cigs are bad for your health and 80% of the people agree... So lets ban cigarettes!

Smoking is kind of a bad example here. Smoking has obvious secondary effects, i.e. secondhand smoke. I have no problem with tobacco smoking being banned from shared office spaces and other common public spaces. Sure, maybe make it possible to get somewhat easy permits to allow for things like smoking lounges, certain kinds of bars, etc. but overall I still consider it a positive that nobody is smoking at my office, movie theaters, practically all restaurants, on the train, etc.

I've been happy with the Wirecutter recommendation: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-air-purifier...
I have not tried those. Maybe they work great, but I'd find it harder to psychologically trust my environment if my ears were covered. Having my ears open to the environment means that I don't have to merely trust that some kind of noise mixing technology works perfectly.

As far as anything like an earbud goes, I don't know if the shape of my ears is a bit unusual, but I cannot run with anything like an earbud without having the earbud slip out frequently. I need something like a headphone to avoid having to constantly fidget with my ears.

Just my personal experience.
As an immigrant and International Relations major (forever ago), I definitely believe in the value of traveling. But I also believe in "living like a local" wherever you go to truly experience what that place is about... which is virtually impossible during any global event like the Olympics or the football World Cup
A national currency would be even more centralized, and centralized banking systems have not been free of problems either. They acted irresponsibly for years and then many got bailed out because they were "too big to fail". And people that society doesn't approve of can get screwed over if the payment processors choose not to do business with them. Moving in the direction of eliminating cash for these people scares me.
Slightly off-topic: 3Blue1Brown is such a treasure. I've been preparing for an exam for the past few days and only really discovered his LinAlg videos. They're incredible to get the reasoning behind a lot of what's happening.
One aspect is that NBC has a lock on the Olympics for the US. Their streaming service is utter trash - unreliable, bad quality video, confusing menus (couldn't even figure out how to watch live events), rewind and fast forward don't have preview (at least on Roku), so you have no idea where to stop, no overlays describing any details of the stream, no editing of recorded events (i.e. 45 minutes of a zamboni cleaning the ice), etc.

Also, NBC seems to be working for the State Department in trashing China at every turn. Yes, China commits human rights abused, but this is a gold standard case of the pot calling the kettle black. The US is one of the biggest human rights abusers out there. The Olympics is about setting that aside for a moment. The US should have either boycotted the olympics or shut up about the politics.
Do you usually find the autocomplete from CoPilot useful enough to keep without editing, or is it wrong often enough to be annoying?
> Nowadays, it kind of feels like Olympics are just annoying. Propaganda fest for authoritarian regimes.

It really always was. I mean, people were actually murdered for political reasons at the Olympics in 1972. And much of the visual imagery of the Olympics, including the torch procession, has as much to do with Hitler and Leni Riefenstahl as it does sporting achievement. And then it went through a significant period where it was really a proxy for the Cold War.

The Olympics has always had a whiff of fascism about it (not least because of Juan Antonio Samaranch) and in many ways operates now as a sort of corporatist sledgehammer for major legal change, as does Fifa.

> No one cares. Heck, some people don’t even know that the Olympics are even happening.

There's more on the telly. But we care in Britain; the (Summer) Olympics has become a way for us to demonstrate outsize capability. Less so the Winter Olympics, which has never been a big deal for most of the world; just a few countries with permanent snow.
I'm not a big fan of politics, but this article[0] really struck a chord with me. And I think it does a good job at giving some insight to your initial question.

> When a program is decomposed in modules, those are compiled separately

No, they're not. At least not in languages with nontrivial features and optimizations. Consider the identity function id = \\x.x in some module A and it's usage A.id 42 in some module B. Unless you commit to uniform object representation, excluding several optimizations, there's no way to compile A separately from it's use in B (because specialization of A.id is required). That fact excludes the option of creating dynamic libraries because you would expect the dynamic library compiled from A to be used in stead of A (with the necessary type interface data). Similar problems occur with polymorphic data structures.

Separate compilation, modularity, and dynamic linking are all aspects of the same problem.

I think that's why Rust uses a global compilation approach and if I am not completely mistaken, only Swift tries to have dynamic linking with polymorphism.
It seems like there was this crazy escalation of spending promises to win the bid. At some point responsible democracies dropped out, the irresponsible democracies, so all that was left were authoritarian nations looking to improve their image without changing.

Now it seems like even the authoritarian nations are deciding it's to expensive and you see responsible democracies getting back in with more realistic bids.

>When I was a kid, we use to look forward to the Olympics. It was a big deal. The whole family would gather around the TV to watch the events live regardless of timezone. [...]
Nowadays, [...] No one cares. Heck, some people don’t even know that the Olympics are even happening.

It seems like the macro trend of network television spectacle events is on the decline and probably due to the internet. The decline in ratings happens across many domains:

- sports: NFL Super Bowl football viewership declines[1], MLB baseball, NASCAR racing, Olympics, etc

- awards shows: Academy Awards, Grammy Awards

- morning shows and evening newscasts on all networks NBC/ABC/CBS, etc

Both the internet (Netflix, Youtube, etc) and a demographic shift means events like the Olympics is not a big deal anymore. Yes, the Olympics committee has scandals but everything on network tv has been on a long term decline.

The 1950s television sets shifted audiences out of movie theaters. The 1940s era of "Gone With The Wind" and "Casablanca" represented the peak movie theater attendance for % of population. Now the internet is shifting audiences away from tv specials including the Olympics.

The Atlanta Olympics made money.

The event had commercial sponsors such as Coke and McDonald's plastered everywhere, which was derided at the time. The opening ceremony even prominently featured Chevy pickup trucks [1].

Nearly all of the newly built facilities were then reused as Georgia Tech dormitories, professional sporting stadiums, local high school facilities, etc.

It was a huge inflection point for the city's growth.
