Given the universe's tasteless sense of comedic timing, I wouldn't be too surprised if a Tunguska-scale meteor lands right on DC, Moscow or Beijing at exactly the wrong time during an international crisis.

Still, in principle, the Russians and Americans, and I believe the Chinese, have satellites that detect the distinctive radiation burst from a nuclear explosion. (There's a detector on each GPS satellite.) So it /should/ fail to pass some of the automatic and manual thresholds before we're off to press the button. But in a tense situation, ambiguous data... one does worry a bit. There's been ambiguity with the detectors before. (Was there, or wasn't there, a nuclear explosion in the south Indian ocean in 1979?

I believe the biggest issue is that it would have to be a non-SSL domain, unless Google figure out someone willing to sign a certificate for a that. But I also remember this being frowned upon by ICANN or some other entity in the past. Btw, the dot is not necessary (maybe it is in some OSs/browsers): http://ai/
More context: When Microsoft unveiled Windows, John Sculley threatened legal action against them for copying the "look and feel" of the Macintosh. Bill Gates responded by threatening to stop development of all Macintosh programs and not renew the license for Apple II Basic, so Apple backed down. As a part of the remediation process, Apple had to stop working on MacBasic and (more importantly) sign an agreement granting Microsoft a license to create derivative works of the Macintosh's GUI.

The rules of interaction depending on context and demographics, to put it roughly.

Youth examples:

- You may swear in conversations with peers, but you should not in conversations with people higher in the hierarchy.

- When people ask "how are you?", they are not genuinely asking in most cases. It is just a greeting. But there are exceptions like your grandmother and a teacher you have not seen in years, but are close to.

Adult examples:

- You can tell a rich person about your great vacation, but not a poor person. If you have a high paying job, you are expected to be happy when talking to a person who earns less than you do.

- Random men (I am also a man) will find it completely appropriate to start a conversation with you discussing the body parts of a nearby woman. It has happened enough times that otherwise successful people view it as an appropriate way to start a conversation on a train. Pretty sure they do not do that with non-peers/women as it is pretty creepy.

- For a more comic take: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tms0yk9kqVM. Basically the war should not be mentioned by a Brit to a German, but you can mention the war to another Brit.
> It is probably still in violation of the DMCA. The DMCA also makes illegal tools that are primarily intended for circumvention, which these emulators almost certainly are.

Nope. Emulators do not circumvent copy protection. When a ROM maker is extracting the game content from the original version, they are breaking copy protection. The ROM file they create and distribute does not have copy protection, so the emulator does not need to include copy protection circumvention.

> But, even moreso, removals of videos on youtube are typically not done through the DMCA directly, but rather through a private extra-judicial system youtube manages (content-id et al).

These are not, which is the point. Nintendo is doing this intentionally with their own DMCA takedowns. These aren't accidental false positives picked up by content id.
I've heard Robolox is a nice place to work and every other gaming company is a little better than it was in the past because they have to be.
Mac/Claris Draw is still more usable than anything comparable today and therefore the effective power is almost as much for non-pro users.
Yes, int vs Integer. It does make sense that those would function differently. /s ;)

And C definitely has some inscrutable errors, but to me once I understood them, they always made sense in computer terms. Whereas Java errors and oddities only make sense in Java terms.
If most "christian rights" knew my beliefs about the religion, they'd burn me at stake. I do think that the Bible has a lot of wisdom in it, but a lot of bs too.
Not sure if this is still the case today, but Yerevan's US Embassy compound is the second largest in the world (couldn't find a more authoritative source in a quick google, but https://pickvisa.com/blog/biggest-embassy-buildings-around-t... and https://pickvisa.com/blog/biggest-embassy-buildings-around-t... roughly say the same things). It seems odd they'd let USA build such a massive operation in a country with the same population as Arkansas if US wasn't a friend.

Of course, such a large embassy isn't being used only for visas, conducting local diplomacy, and USAID operations :)
Exactly. I've seen chronically tardy students be "not invited back" at the end of the school year at private schools, which is a de-facto expulsion.
My main usecase is for remote meter reading. The plan so far is to install self signed certificates at manufacturing and then to update them periodically with OTA. OTAs will be fetched via https. The device will communicate with our backend via mqtt with tls, but not using mutual tls. I suppose I'm asking if this is a suitable approach for deploying a device that mostly has one direction communication.

I suppose my biggest gripe is that it has been hard to find sources of best practices. Almost everything I find is amateurish/not designed to scale or white papers designed to sell services. Or when I encounter best practices, they are too vague to be actionable.
Is it difficult to notice that you're in the minority here?

All I am saying is that the 'fastest' json libs all do comparisons against other 'fastest' json libs.

I'd expect any other json lib trying to be faster to do those same comparisons and not produce arguably clickbait "55% faster" titles since your library isn't really that much faster than goccy.

Pick the ones that match (dynamic) to compare against.
Is it "buy into" if you use stuff like Browserstack?

I use their live devices (camera/audio feed specifically) although not sure how far you can go eg. app-level install. Looks like you can and use stuff like Appium.
That is a good point, there are a lot of parallels between our current plastic situation and the world before the invention of lignin/cellulose breakdown mechanisms by fungi.

However, I still think that in the short term, stopping the oil/gas/plastic carbon cycle and finding ways to reverse it, to reduce climate change is much more important for the planet and humanity.

In addition, we need to think about stabilising the human population (encouraging birth control etc) both for climate change and ecological/species survival reasons.

Once we have solved/stablised/reversed Earth's ecological problems then maybe we can think about integrating plastics back into the shorter carbon cycle safely.
Almost like a chemistry of numbers.
We moved a lot when I was a kid in the 70s. Most places seemed to have a 3-tiered system then: TAG (talented and gifted), the middle track, and the remedial track. In one state (CA) I'd be in the talented-and-gifted classes for pretty much every subject. Then we moved to TX and I was in the middle track for most subjects and even in a remedial track for some. We moved between the two states a couple of times as my dad would be transferred. I preferred CA because of the prestige, but then get to TX and find myself behind in certain subjects - it was kind of confusing.
In Islam, the dead should be buried on their right side facing towards Makkah, but that’s somewhat of a moot point since it should be in a shroud (not a coffin) allowing their bodies to return to the earth (not for spiritual reasons celebrating unity with Mother Earth or for reincarnation like some religions or cultures, more that the body is just a vessel that has served its purpose and should be allowed to decompose back to its source materials).

This coffin-less burial was largely forbidden by western laws and customs so Muslims have typically opted for the “plain pine box” option but there has been a new, secular resurgence of interest in this for ecological reasons and some zoning laws/cemeteries are beginning to allow this in the USA and elsewhere.
Yes, better games. Nintendo first party titles from their Zelda, Mario and Mario Kart franchises are consistently among the best games for their time period with some of the biggest appeal across the gamer spectrums. If I could choose only one system it would be the switch easily. If only it had Valheim on it I would never put it down.

I have done this with vim commands. It worked much better than "look up command when needed" approach. My vim-productivity has skyrocketed.

I also use spaced repeatation to remember even the most basic concepts of some of the topics I am learning. This helps one immensely when one is learning in isolation.

When you are in college, bootcamp, or office, you hear terms, their definition, uses so regularly you fail to appreciate how much this helps you "get used to" something new to you.

Spaced Repeatation is good even when you are trying to get an idea about the lay of the land. Andy Hunt called this "training in R-mode" in the book Pragmatic Thinking and Learning (PragProg). Before I listened to podcasts, watched talks, read Preface of books to get an overall idea. Now I do that plus I use Anki. This approach is much better. Anki should be a regular habitz though.

Now, I am planning a simpler SR implementation for longer notes. Where you can't really use Anki. I am thinking of creating an Airtable formula that will email me stuff to review that day in the morning based on a document's date of creation. Or I might go with a Flutter app (would be a good excuse to learn it.) I will most likely use 1 day-1 week-1 month-each month, or 5 days-2 weeks-1 month-2 months approach.

Spaced Repeatation works better than one might think. While reviewing simple fact-containing flash card on Anki, I have created deeper connections, had new insights, and got new ideas. I did not really expect these.

So, I will highly recommend SR. Preferably with Anki.
Can confirm, went to a school like that but without a namesake building. They can either always admit someone else, or more often, just not bother because educating kids is an expensive loss leader for the endowment even with full tuition. It definitely seemed like there needed to have already been a family building or two before you got to campus if you expected much immunity because of that...
Years ago I was in my ancestral village and met a man (with same very distinctive family name) countless generations removed who looked exactly like my grandfather. Even the same physical, stocky build... and yeah, I had to just kind of mind my manners because it was super surreal. Guess it's kinda like the Old Spice commercials - if your granddad wasn't good looking you wouldn't be here?
That sounded amazing until I clicked to the pricing and then to the FAQ about this "cores" concept

> newer devices, such as the iPhone 8 and iPhone X, require six cores

I'm not keeping up to date with apple phone numbers, but since OP speaks of 11 I take it that 8 must be at least a few years old. So "newer devices" here just means "any reasonable device".

6 cores is $295 a month on the cheapest plan. If you need it more than once every few years, it's cheaper to get a real phone used.

Thanks for the tip nevertheless! Can be useful in a pinch for sure :)
The way people on YouTube get around the legal penalties for false DMCAs is simple: they don't file a DMCA request. There are several other mechanisms by which YouTube will gladly pull content: Content ID, contractual obligations, TOS violation, etc.
Congrats on the launch. I'm quite impressed.

Here are my unordered thoughts.

So it seems a lot like an improved colab with a deployment stage. Which sounds good to me, it will be much more expensive than colab though.

I like the pitch of SWEs doing ML instead of pitching towards Data Scientists.
As Data Scientist turned SWE I still miss the Jupyter like cell based execution. (you said it exists but I couldn't find it.)

In general I'm quite sceptical when it comes to online IDEs.
However, for Text and Image based models it might be enough (since you don't need tooo much code).

There might be a valid niche between colab on the one side and building it yourself with AWS cli on the other.

I wonder though, in your target market it really isn't such a big deal to spin up a rest api, there are no lambdas with GPU though (but this should be a matter of time). Or use something like AWS batch for remote training. It will come down to: Is it more convenient to code in your IDE and you handle Lambda, Batch Docker and CD. Or do you code in your own IDE and you have to handle this stuff yourself.

Wish you all the best!
John Kay wrote a good book about this called Radical Uncertainty. It's annoying that there is an increasing tendency to frame what is a purely narrative statement in quantitative terms.

As the author points out war is not historically predetermined, at least in any way we could convincingly figure out, and pulling numbers out of thin air only serves the purpose of trying to talk about the future with less uncertainty than is appropriate.

Talking about events in terms of probabilities should be reserved for events that are not dominated by 'unknown unknowns'. You can attach a probability to a volcano outbreak, a transaction in an ordinary functioning market, a game of blackjack. That is to say 'small worlds' where outcomes are known, rules well defined and inputs quantified. You can't predict the overthrow a government in 5 years in numerical terms. That doesn't mean you can't talk about it. It's okay to say something is unlikely or very likely, but it makes more sense to explicitly talk about these things in qualitative terms rather than trying to be 'mathy' to make a prediction appear more objective than it is.
I've discovered over the years that when someone starts spouting random complaints about Fox News brainwashing, it's an easy "tell" that they are probably an out of touch liberal "elite" with an ego that probably needs some deflating (at least when it comes to politics).

I say this as someone who fit this description to a tee in the past. Its amazing how when I starting taking my own medicine and actually began speaking directly with the people I disagreed with I found what they believed in was very different than what the talking heads told me they were. More often than not, they knew my position better than me, and yet I knew hardly anything about theirs, it's embarrassing in retrospect.

Speaking as someone with now very in the middle political leanings, I don't see Fox News as any different than any other mainstream outlet who is a member of the Associated Press. They take a story off the AP conveyor belt, spin it in a way that is advantageous to their billionaire owners and add a bit of spice to keep the lemmings listening.
There are nuclear-armed submarines that just hide 24/7 so even if their home country is wiped out in a sneak attack, they can launch in revenge.
- If your adversary has access to your ISP's data they can tie IP to address/geofences.

- If they where clever they could time the latency and find how far you are on relative to the satellite. Giving a circle path to look at. Meaning plane could find you by flying along the circle. So I guess it could help them track the radio signal...
The taste argument is often made, rarely tested.

I prefer revealed preference. Let's build some Tokyo style apartments in NYC, SF, price them at market per sqft and and let's find out if they 'suit western tastes'
I have thought that selection for "giftedness" in young children is multi-factored with a combination of "exposure" and innate aptitude and curiosity of the child at the very least.

If you take "exposure" to mean the child has been introduced to a multitude of concepts and experiences both at their age-appropriate levels and grades above, the conjectured distribution starts to make sense. Wealthy children or those of highly educated parents tend to have incredibly high "exposure" increasing their representation in gifted programs. Those not from such a background will necessarily need to be highly curious and/or have high innate aptitude.

For the lower grades, gifted kids regardless of background will be in the upper decile of scores. As they grow older and "exposure" differences across the entire population minimize, those who were gifted only due to "exposure" will fall to the middle of the curve. Those with high curiosity/aptitude will continue to be in the upper decile, with those who had early and continued high exposure (usually a result of wealth or parent motivation) in the top percentile.

To your point, if you believe the goal should be to meet children where they are and advance them, this model isn't horrible. What it does point out is that there may be a fair amount of top percentile talent that is unrealized due to lack of "exposure" and resources.

Liquid is just a templating language written in Ruby. Much of the Rails ecosystem uses non-Rails projects (Devise, Sidekiq, Rspec, etc). I know that both Github and Shopify use some React, but neither is a strict-SPA with Rails merely serving as the backend API. Github is actually pushing the server-side rendered UI forward with ViewComponent.
If people were showing you how to bypass Steam and download games for free do you really think Valve wouldn't use DCMA to have it removed ?

Because I can't think of any business who would tolerate this.
Asking as a Firefox user — is it worth giving Brave a try?
I still don't understand why Google went on the route of proactively removing content rather than reactively.
You could get the job to pay the bills and open source the project. Take just a little time each week to publicize it and find people willing to contribute. If it catches on widely you will be able to live off working it full time. If not, you still get to explore the problem and have fun with it as a hobby.

I can’t totally reconcile everyone’s advice to “just forget about the bs techie problem you’re solving” with the fact there are all these companies worth hundreds of millions, which if not well known, would seem like “techie tools with no market”. Postman, for instance.
i wonder what % of cpu cycles on AWS are spent encoding and decoding JSON.
What's more, we can run that cable along a gravity train from CA to NL, saving the costs of digging another tunnel. :)
I show 180-350µs between various machines on my network, all of which have some fiber between them. devices with only a switch and copper between them somehow perform worse, but this is anecdotal because i'm not running something like smokeping!

Oh, additionally between VMs i'm getting 180µs, so that looks to be my lower bound, for whatever reason. my main switches are very old, so maybe that's why.
Personally, I blame Joseph Marie Jacquard for enabling the automation of anything bad.
This comment makes me think of a piece of relevant literature who’s television adaption is about to end called Shingeki no Kyojin or it’s English translation “Attack on Titan”. I wonder what the reaction of the upcoming episodes will be as the Russian Invasion continues.
i went to a small HS out in the backwoods of North Texas ( graduating class had 20 people in it). I was told how smart i was over and over and started to believe it. Then went to college and found out exactly how much BS was fed to me the previous 4 years. I really suffered for it taking a long time to graduate and almost getting kicked out a couple times.

Now I have two kids and prioritize learning how to learn with them. If you can develop the skills in a child required to work hard, find the answers, find the understanding, and teach themself then you've put them in a good spot to have at least a fighting chance when faced with the unknown.
Definitely pushes me in the direction of taking the plunge into Arduino.
Thanks for sharing!

Nintendo really cares about the Nintendo experience, from their games all the way to the physical product people hold to experience them. And it shows. People talk about Nintendo as if a spell has been cast on them (much in the way Apple fans talk about Apple).

If you look into how much Nintendo spends on R&D and compare it to their revenues, you'll see they are _really_ serious about R&D. It would be detrimental to their business to allow that experience to be watered down.

There's nothing to be angry about. I dont think a product (at the scale and quality as Nintendo, Apple, etc) can exist in this world without it being in total control by the people who know how to create that experience. I'll happily pay more money to a company I trust to deliver quality (and fewer, polished options), much like people love Apple because it removes so many choices from people's lexicon.

Perhaps (I'll hesitantly say young) people don't realize that with freedom comes the more choices. And with more choices, you spend less time enjoying the product. You're a different market. You have time to research the hundreds of different flavors of Linux (as an example). There's nothing wrong with that; just be aware of what you're buying and dont complain when they aren't catering to your needs.
Many non-state actors produce content for RT, including academics and celebrities, and almost all MSM outlets here in the US produce content sponsored/paid for by the US government. It's only propaganda when it's crafted by The State, otherwise it's just the marketing of ideas. The issue at hand is who is filtering/controlling what ideas people are allowed to have access to.

I recommend everyone read Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death," and "How to Watch TV News."
I'm not saying Ukraine should or shouldn't fight. I'm not the one talking about stories I'm just observing what's actually happening and that's the Ukrainians are fighting.

I think your worldview is a relic where everyone only acts the way the USA or Russia wants them to. That isn't the case, and it's hardly surprising Ukrainians want to get out of Russia's orbit and into the EU even without their puppet masters in the West forcing them to think like that.
What is the purpose of the ban? Is it really doing anything to undermine Russia’s leadership? My guess is that this harms chess players who happen to be Russian but who have no control over the government and doesn’t do anything to hinder the actual Russian government in any meaningful way.
This is how journalists figure out if all those Ukraine videos are real
I wonder what % are just idle.

I wonder if Brave or any other browser will eventually allow for some sort of "delegation" ability to be introduced, where you can use your own spare compute to effectively run the tab on another machine but present it nicely (with even things like being able to select the text and copy) on the present.

Brave is really introducing many of these features and I fear it'll be the same slogged down mess as all of the other browsers when you use them all at once.
