May be but what additional things are chinese going to buy from outside their country even if the yuan is higher. Almost every single thing is manufactured/produced inside their own country. The only things they need from outside are raw materials, energy and food (I'm ignoring semiconductor industry for a moment which they already consider as their own little island)
> I've watched RT on a few occasions and I never thought their reporting outright propaganda.

This is the problem. For effective propaganda you don't want it to be easily detectable as such. Therefore the majority of your material isn't directly propaganda. I read somewhere it's 5-10% is the payload. You don't make that obviously propaganda of course too.

On a channel like RT or Sputnik this is how you are going to operate - not least because those channels are for an external audience, who does have other sources.

Inside of Russia your propaganda probably works roughly similarly, but you can have more of it, and you can be more confident the audience doesn't regular access other sources. In a time of war you can go full propaganda.

I've watched RT in the past and been surprised by some of the reporting, and covering things that seemed not really covered by regular sources.

The problem is because of what it is it's very hard to know what's real reporting and what is propaganda payload.

So I avoid it.

I don't think there is a problem limiting it's availability. Right now it's super freely available.

What's the bar you might ask? That's hard. Partly it's intent, and that's hard to prove. You could also work out how much and how bad the propaganda is on a channel. Again not necessarily easily.

Really though the problem here is a trust problem with Putins Russia. It's well documented their activities in disinformation and with election interference.

They are not currently a good actor. This is covered in part of Hypernormalization documentary (and others).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cT0bzehQgO8

If you believe this is the case (as I do) then the bar for their restriction is actually pretty low. I think it's in the interest of the world that access to propaganda vehicles, such as RT and Sputnik, should be limited.
The chain isnt massive as it is bc people are having it occasionally

I... can. Seems like the Ukrainian government is on a roll, asking anyone and everyone to help hurt Russia and then hoping the court of public opinion (aka Twitter rage army) would get angry at organizations/governments that don't comply with their wishes.

Yeah they are very much entitled to do this, they're getting bombed after all... but something about it makes me uneasy. If I had a time machine I'd check if in a few decades they'd be walking around oppresing their neighbors feeling entitled, since they're a victim now.

> Im not positive the 10$ mark is low enough but I hope for the general landscape it is.

I saw enough people mention $10 that I decided to go for it. To be honest, $10 is already probably too low to be sustainable because of the huge amount of resources search consumes and the high cost of development.

My gut feeling is that it's economically impossible to build a good search engine that isn't loaded with ads and spyware. But I spent so long complaining about G that I decided to prove to myself one way or another.

> except in Germany

It applies everywhere. Germany and Poland courts said that they interpret this principle is against their constitutions. The consequence is that they need to either:

- Change their interpretation of their constitution

- Change their constitution

- Leave the EU

It's a basic principle of participation in a Union. Germany's or Poland's case is the same as if a State of the US decided that some federal law or the US constitution doesn't apply in that territory because their constitution prevails or that the state supreme court can overrule the decisions of the US supreme court.

The EU case is much easier than the US, of course, because EU Member States have the right to unilaterally decide to secede. So they can always just leave if they really don't want to comply with EU laws. They have no excuse whatsoever to whine about them.

I am quite afraid of Russia shutting off the gas and oil supply. I hope Europe doesn't give up on sanctions then, at least not right away.

Betting on Russia needing the income more than we need the resources.

Power will go out completely around here and partially in many other regions, but we can live through that.

Having solar (plus wind and batteries) is a major boon, and this would undoubtedly drive demand through the roof once people have no choice. Sadly, there isn't enough supply for everyone, especially power hungry industrial sites, and trucks/cars still run on fuel.

Solar concentrators would be easy to start producing locally, but they don't run well in cold temperatures and cloudy weather, plus they still need batteries of some sort.
This is a joke. NATO is not hostile, unless you plan on invading.
Hear hear. Ukraine, as bad the situation is, is nothing compared to the Caucasus. The Caucasus is on the same level of shittiness as the Balkan or the Palestine if you zoom out in time.
An aggressive Russian vassal state would create an existential threat to China where none exists now, and disrupt China’s economic and soft power goals while driving greater Western military growth and solidarity. Seems better to drain the country of wealth and resources while taking credit for bringing stability to the region.
There are protesters in Russia, cutting them off from the Internet would destroy their capabilities to communicate and organize.

Which may happen anyway from Putin's side if he declares martial law, which is rumored might happen tomorrow.
That is the whole point of having a blockchain where all the transaction are public and even if the criminal gangs, money launderers use it, the addresses are all traceable. No where to hide.

Now when you have a cryptocurrency that uses an encrypted blockchain where the transactions are private and are only known by the sender and the receiver, then you know that the Chinese government will not like such a thing to be used since they know that the criminal gangs and scammers are most exactly going to use something like that with Signal E2EE and MobileCoin for their illegal activities.

Certainly, it is very easy to hide your laundered digital cash on MobileCoin than it is on Bitcoin, or a stablecoin.

I more worry about how much they push whatever host company to expend as many resources as possible in what is often a wasteful way.

I presume it is just a consequence of the enormous costs to build out a fiber network that would yield uncompetitive prices compared to the internet people are willing to accept from their coaxial cable internet providers.

A combination of people do not demand it enough to pay sufficiently to get neighborhoods wired with fiber, and coaxial cable companies having a disincentive to allocate more of their wire capacity to internet bandwidth since they want to avoid becoming a dumb pipe.

The only way out is taxpayer subsidized build out of fiber operated like a utility, such as the system in Chattanooga Tennessee.

Ah ok I see what you mean, I didn't consider shared parameters (out of habit, in my own AI work I have no shared parameters). But isn't the self attention also trainable and thus is reflected in the number of parameters (with or without sharing)?

I naively see the transformer architecture as a generalization of other common topologies like convnets, i.e. you can arrange the token stream and the attention heads (if you have enough of them) to emulate a 2D convnet if you want even though the first uses where for 1D language token streams, and so the transformer arch with proper training can converge to a convnet arch if that is the best solution. Or is this a completely backward generalization? :)

Yes.

If I want to wire you some cash from bank A to bank B, my bank (A) will debit my account,and credit their account (called a nostro). There, we have two possibilities :

* The two banks are connected (meaning B has an account in A), A will debit their nostro and credit the account of B in A (called a loro) and inform bank B via swift. B will debit the account of A in B, credit their nostro, debit their nostro and credit your account

* The two banks are not directly connected : A will debit my account and credit their nostro. They will then debit their nostro and credit the account of a third institution (another bank or a clearing house). They will send a message to the bank B and the third institution, telling them that the cash should be credited to you. If the bank B and the third institution are connected, see above. If not, the process goes on, until the cash "reaches" bank B.

This is highly simplified, but it's the principle.
The only concrete example I could find is https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna26959902 (though to be fair my research here consisted of checking the references on the Wikipedia page for "Marked Bills").

The important thing to remember here is that possession of stolen goods or cash is a crime (cf for example https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2315), so if it becomes known to you that stolen cash is in your possession, you have a legal obligation to give it back. Given how fungible cash is, this probably won't be enforced if somebody uses stolen cash to pay their bill in a restaurant, but it probably would be if someone bought a car with cash that could be traced directly back to a bank robbery.

Since bitcoin is infinitely more traceable than cash, the argument of "but how do you know this particular dollar bill was stolen?" wouldn't really be applicable.

We also have a desktop app which works very similarly in terms of setting up proxy and installing the certificates. The fundamentals with which we are building Requestly makes it different from other tools in this space. We intend Requestly to be used by team, easy re-use of the mocking configurations. The intent to go with SDK based approach is that it is one-time setup while using an external proxy will always require you to configure your phone every time which is painful. Like you said, local proxy servers can be flaky sometimes and you may eventually end up spending more time on the tool rather than your actual work.

I'm sick of seeing parents digitally drug their kids with iPads and NetFlix. I'm sick of seeing parents let their kids roleplay Lord of The Flies on the playground. And I'm sick of people talking about the pandemic like it's some insurmountable challenge.

Yes, people have lost jobs and partners and other terrible tragedies. The people I see complaining the most have had none of that happen to them. They're complaining about having to cancel a trip to Disney World. They're complaining about the state mandating masks, or not mandating masks, or suggesting that maybe wearing masks might be a good idea, or not mentioning masks at all. They're complaining about something about football--I don't know what exactly, there can't possibly be anything of consequence once the subject turns to professional sports, so I start tuning out.

As a parent, you have a whole person's life in your hands. You have a moral (and if it goes far enough, legal) responsibility to not screw it up. "But I'm tired" is just "excuses, excuses, excuses".

> But you often end up abusing your DB/SQL as a business logic layer, where your business logic is encoded in a huge set of row/column permission and custom SQL triggers.

That's not “abuse”. Admittedly, it's no longer an essential best practice for most systems, the way it used to be viewed, because it's more common to have a single application which fully owns the database and not to (at least in idealized theory, though very some ops staff still end up with direct access to the prod DB) allow access by other means, so in theory it doesn't tend to be necessary to avoid either circumvention of rules or (inevitably inconsistent, as well as expensive to maintain) duplication of logic.
I see, fair enough.
Diversifying against stormy times for the international market is part of any standard personal finance advice. I've learned a lot from a variety of blogs dedicated to the subject. I recommend checking what sites are frequently mentioned in the personal finance subreddits, and starting the exploration from there.

By the way, while gold is said to be a good bet, I wouldn't recommend keeping much of your personal wealth in it. It's far better to invest in other available options.

Can’t really be any other way, country X will usually stipulate that all taxes be remitted in the local currency. So they’ll have to be calculated in that currency, therefore invoices in that currency.

Based on how well Ukraine has defended itself, I suspect that despite all of his almost-apparently-naïve "don't panic" talk, very much was being done to ensure that the country was prepared. Maybe delaying the very visible actions of conscription and training was to maintain a façade of lack of preparation.

On the other hand, maybe the invaders are doing poorly simply because Russia did plenty of conscription, but no training or preparation.

Exactly. The current posture seems to be eroding the world order by simply reminding people they have nukes. That’s not a change. They’ve always had them. They’re trying to use them in a new way. This new way would have probably been dealt with much more severely in the 70s/80s/90s.
