I don’t really get it. Also could this be used to improve telescopes?
I think your comment does what the OP complains about, regarding gatekeeping etc.

I don't know about OP, whose comment I find a little harsh, but personally I'm always frustrated a bit and despairing a bit when I realise how poor the background is of the average machine learning researcher today, i.e. of my generation. Sometimes it's like nothing matters other than the chance that Google or Facebook will want to hire someone with a certain skillset and any knowledge that isn't absolutely essential to getting that skillset, is irrelevant.

Who said "Those who do not know their history are doomed to repeat it"? In research that means being oblivious of the trials and tribulations of previous generations of researchers and then falling down the same pits that they did. See for example how deep learning models today are criticised for being "brittle", a criticism that was last levelled against expert systems, and for similar, although superficially different, reasons. Why can't we ever learn?
I did a kind of escape from London to Egypt over the early 2021 covid lockdown, for a few months. You might have been better hanging out there a bit! They are probably kinda neutral on the Russia stuff.

You can get a residents card in a few days by paying like $90 and I think can open a bank account.
Blockading a port is only achievable by destroying vessels and people attempting to access that port. Similar to establishing a no-fly zone, it is an action that almost always involves shooting at people.

I simply don't understand the moral argument for why people and countries are required to engage in trades that produce economic surplus if they dislike the person or country with whom they are trading.
As long as it doesn't hit a built-in hard limit for search space exploration (which is in practice only encountered on pathological generated code), it will find the optimally scored set of line breaks.
And mine just got updated to iOS 15.

Meanwhile my Pixel 3 XL is three years old and is no longer receiving updates.
I speak 3 languages, but only one is foreign, so I answered “1”.

Makes me sad, in some ways, because it used to be “more than one”.

(I’m Canadian and have fluent English and French by virtue of education and marriage, and have learned and can still get by in Spanish. My Turkish, Arabic, and German have all faded, my Greek was never that great, and I may still be able to order two large beers in Polish.)
ANTIFA and BLM riots caused billions of dollars of damage, destroyed buildings, including federal ones, burned down multiple businesses and involved extensive looting. There were also multiple cold blooded murders and rapes during the riots as well as occupations. The US and Canadian governments did not enact anti-terrorism measures as they did with the truckers.

The Canadian truckers picked up the trash. I never saw a cleaner protest.
Making a live video player work everywhere with as little latency as possible, without any interruptions, on shitty networks, from Internet Explorer 11 (in 2021) to Safari on iOS. But without webRTC because it would make way too much sense. Management never approved even testing WebRTC.

I made a version that worked okay with most network failures and browser failures. Not all, it’s impossible and I had zero motivation for that since I wanted to use WebRTC instead. I was going crazy.

I did quit and my old coworkers blame this video player, and they are right. But it was also because of the company strategy.
How does that passage disagree with what I said? By my reading, he acknowledges it only to write it off.

The problem isn't the "realist" analysis itself. It's that such analysis is being held up as a one-sided normative description to affect the actions of the larger might-makes-might of US/NATO. Applying the same standard to both - either we judge the moral merits of Ukrainian self-determination vs Russian conquering or EU/NATO is right to expand simply because they have the might to.
TeamSpeak 5 actually uses Matrix under the hood, with a proprietary voice protocol and TeamSpeak-specific room version.

AEG microwave thinks it's an steam oven after update, don't think even The Onion could come up with this.
We had this functionality before web apps were a thing. I'm not going to claim it was some golden era/glory days in a bug-free, seamless cross-device nirvana, but it's not like it was a wasteland, either. And for all the promise of cheaper, better apps that the webapp paradigm has been suggested to bring, we still pay a lot for armies of developers to write this stuff, and it's almost uniformly worse in both quality and feature completeness.
Like what? Option pricing? Show me how option pricing puts AMD at overvalued. Pardon my French, but I think you're talking out your ass.
GE is terrible at software, mostly due to their relationship with Tata.

You were working on actual GE devices though, these appliances are GE in name only and slapped together by people who are even less skilled.
Russia oligarchs: The mega-rich men facing global sanctions
There's two ways to look at how people of the past compare to people of today:

1. They didn't have X, so obviously we don't need X now.

2. There were the ones who created X, so clearly they felt the absence of X was a problem to be solved.

I'm inclined to believe 2 comes into play more often than 1. The present was created by those living in the past.
You are saying that Pooking kills civilians because he don't want to kill civilians. It's looks like you are as crazy or rational as Pooking, so you can reason like him. However, normal people cannot think like crazy people, so they just declare a crazy person as «crazy» and try to isolate them instead of understanding them.

Actually, I tried to understand Pooking by inducing paranoia in myself. When I did that, all his actions become quite logical. He sees RF as victim of evil NATO. Any action of NATO is a step in evil plan to destroy RF. RF is so smart, so they see the evil plan of NATO, while others are blind, or pretend that they doesn't understand, or are playing their roles in the evil plan. Your text is quite logical when I'm switching to «paranoia» mode.
> Or how many micro chips would be made without German machinery?

More than would be made without Dutch machinery, seeing how as ASML is a Dutch company, spun off from Philips, another Dutch company.
It's admittedly hard to find non-biased takes on their history because everyone seems to have a love/hate relationship with them, but here's a couple things off the top of my head that might give searchable terms:

* Inserting their own affiliate links into URLs you visit (now removed)

* Their implementation of Tor didn't actually work; leaked your browsing activity (now fixed)

* Received BAT donations on behalf of creators without notifying donators whether creators had opted-in to receive donations or not, and without notifying creators that they even had donations unless they reached a certain $ threshold (donations are now returned to users after a set time unless creators opt in to Brave's rewards platform)

* Similarly, they used to scrape site creators' socials (twitter, youtube, etc) to use their images/details in the donation CTA a la shadow profiles (now removed)

* They require Uphold to "cash out" earned BAT, which has a ton of their own controversies around freezing/deleting accounts when people try to withdraw a majority of their wallet (AFAIK still an issue)

There's plenty of others that inevitably get brought up in most threads about Brave. Most have been fixed after complaints/callouts, but employee reactions to getting called out are usually to the tune of "sorry you're surprised, but it's legal for us to do" instead of "we're sorry we did XYZ without telling you; we'll remove it".
I don’t see how stopping buying oil would be preferable from the perspective of a Russian citizen. Both will be economically ruinous to the Russian states, eventually. One hits innocent European citizens too, so it seems obvious which to choose.
Moldova has a separatist area maintained by Russian troops. Transnistria. So in a way Russia has already attacked them, though not yet tried to conquer, yet. Also Moldova shares no land border with Russia, yet (and very much hopefully not).

Finland is the only land border sharing non nato country left.
I recently switched from a OnePlus3 to an iPhone 12 mini and although the pictures are really much better, one thing is worse, the lens glare. There is often a glare and sometimes a bright green dot. Is that a consequence of these many elements? Less spherical and chromatic aberrations but more glare and other internal reflections?

As a counter-point AMD as a datacenter chip provider grew 100% last year and investors like myself view it as a catalyst of growth that begets more growth. More simply put: they are getting their foot in lots of doors. it’s stupendously difficult to valuate that just looking at the financials. AMDs renewed brand recognition also allows it to trade at better multiples
> For the longest time, interviews at top tier tech companies have been broken in the sense that there's a big difference between what you work on day-to-day and what you get asked in an interview.

Acknowledging this and building a platform to perpetuate it? Am I missing something?
Agreed. And, look, you wrote:

> The younger generations, with their higher level of fluid intelligence, are able to approach things with better critical thinking

Personally I try to write "are more often able to", or "tend to ...", so it sounds more bell-curvish
Actually, it supports docker-compose proper (v1 and v2, even if there are some bugs for v2)
I've long wondered why some people can get by with little or no exercise and yet seem to live relatively healthy/happy lives. My Mom who's 66 doesn't exercise, other than a little walking, and while she's overweight, she always has energy, a good mood, and seems really resistant to the negative impacts of stressful situations.

On the other hand, If I don't get at least an hour of exercise a day, I start to slip into fatigue, anxiety, and depression. I usually walk for 1.5 hours a day and hit the gym 3-5 days a week for cardio and weight training. Fortunately, I do love being active, and I wouldn't want to be more sedentary anyway. I've never had the greatest sleep quality (falling/staying asleep isn't a problem, deep sleep is), and I wonder if I've just been compensating all this time, and those who naturally sleep really well can do better with a sedentary life.
Fair point. I didn't noticed the ``not''
I'd have agreed with you 5-10 years ago.

- I'm interacting with and hearing a bunch of regional tech companies, hospital networks, and worse, consultant shops, doing what you're saying. For the most part, they're not that special. There are variants with unique twists (edge compute/ai/crypto/reselling/graph/..), but ultimately, not that many, and generally prioritize the same obvious data sources (epic, ..). Genome data isn't as standardized/centralized as top EHRs afaict, but even there, we're see common data formats crop up & getting popular. Likewise, every hospital network IT group is independently having to reinvent the wheel on things like access for their researchers.

- I'm not advocating they do all the things. Industry has value. (Ex: Imagine trifacta for everyone!). But this is a commons issue, and when industry owns it, that's a problem (ex: HHS groups ensnared by Palantir, or today's balkanized approach to real-world data). But for meat and potatoes of EHRs/labs/genomes, as part of the continued digital transform these systems are doing, targeting baseline standards & timely data submission isn't that crazy. Likewise, VA and other ~federated national groups already do have (bad) centralized database + compute facilities. I hear about their problems every ~night ;-) But as a baseline, a lot of what is a scramble today would become easy.

Getting back to the main point. The top 5 tech co's are quite used to working at nation/global scale for data stuff, including for PII & AI, so there's technical precedent. Smaller nations actually already do centralize this stuff - so it's not even without precedent in terms of government. The US gov is intentionally spending much more money on doing it much tinier & weaker.
Swedish and Finnish PMs quiet on NATO plans
Unfortunately there's a significant cost to actually implementing and maintaining this. For a non-mission critical/hobbyist site, putting a couple links to bootstrap, jquery, d3, vue, google fonts etc. in your header is a lot easier (and cheaper) than setting up your own bundler, build process and CDN. I don't particularly care if my pages take an extra few milliseconds to load.
There is research into using ML for automated formatting. Personally, I'm not a fan. The heuristics are relatively simple and when hand-authored can be explained. Throwing ML at it discards explainability and risks really weird formatting decisions on edge cases for relatively little upside.

My experience is that people prefer formatting that is:

1. Unsurprising.

2. Nice looking.

3. Simple.

In roughly that order. Using ML might increase 2 but at the expense of 1 and certainly 3.
That would required every operation on a floating point value to return an optional, which you’d then need to unwrap and branch on.
And they're vaccinated against BUK.
Watching widgets/components freeze after an interaction because of a poorly-handled race condition in the JavaScript, dropped or mis-handled/scheduled async requests, and inconsistent cross-component state management isn't any better. It's arguably worse, because now the user has to guess as to whether something is wrong with the application or not and then refresh anyway.
I didn't downvote you, but

(1) TSMC is building fabs in both the US (Arizona) and Japan (Kumamoto).
(2) China is unlikely to invade Taiwan anytime soon; the country is working on more of a diplomatic takeover a la Hong Kong.
(3) I don't know any reasonable argument for AMD not needing TSMC.
A New World Order
While this sentiment resonates with me, and probably many Americans, I'm not entirely sure that it would resonate with Taiwanese culture. Even if it did, any attempt to arm Taiwanese citizens is likely to draw a lot of opposition from China.
This might be true, but they aren't being tried for their own crimes. It's just revenge.
What made you buy this over say a Nikon or Canon?
Sure. its basically a less efficient form of trial division.

Founders Fund Raises $5B for Early- to Late-Stage Deals
I have access to a quarterly report telling what the road taxes are by state (which I’m supposed to be consulting when I decide where to fuel but don’t actually care) and can say with 100% certainty that trucks aren’t driving around on “free asphalt”.

They take the money out at the fuel pump, figure out how much you owe for each mile driven in each state, divvy up what was paid and return any over payment to the owner of the truck.

I’m currently sitting in California and they add $0.727/gallon to pay for the “free” roads for example.
> Is fleeing make me a bad person now? Nope, I don't think so.

For sure not. You do what you have to do. But it is important for us to reflect about it. Who is able to do more damage to Putin without any risk of a new nuclear war? The russian people.
Based on my experience, I can see it. I had the OpenSearch PM reach out to us because of our work with OpenSearch. AWS are investing for the long haul, here.
No, most road taxes are just gas taxes which truckers largely avoid. Semi’s are relatively aerodynamically efficient vs cars so they don’t need nearly as much fuel per mile as you might assume. Meanwhile their extreme weight both causes significant damage and forces bridges etc to be significantly overbuilt vs cars.
So you agree that Ukraine is not run by Nazis and that Putin's invasion of Ukraine is unjustified?
I think you overestimate who actually write and edits articles on Wikipedia. Its a very very very small group of people who does 80% and then an other small group who does 19% and then you have the millions of random people with internet who have contributed something.
do you code for living?
I didn’t use the word never. I said they are not, i.e. the two words are not equivalent.

Yes there are rumours, are they propaganda? I don’t think so in this case - young male Russians are being questioned at the border, flights are being stopped, and the idea has been floated of forced conscription of anti-war protesters. Even mentioning the word war is a crime. Russia is very close to martial law already and I’m not surprised there is speculation about it.

Also, quite frankly no one in the west cares much if Putin imposes martial law, it’s already a pariah state and a dictatorship. As propaganda this rumour would be pretty useless.
Still a lot better than Intel with 2% growth "when heading into a period of massive energy and food inflation along with a cessation of monetary stimulus".
To be fair, many experts too believed that it was madness to invade Ukraine.

And, judging by the faces on the videos that I saw, many members of his cabinet and top generals were thinking the same.
They can make more than that if they can predict the future, but there's a big difference between predicting the future and selling the future.
This is absurd. The Russians being sanctioned in Europe are gangster crooks who robbed from their own.
Green is chlorophyll, which happens if they are in light, mostly. Chlorophyll itself isn't bad, but apparently the light also a accelerates the development of the alkaloids at issue, so it's a signal of unsafety.

They should throw it away and build something new.
Note that collapses of this glacier are common. The end of the glacier split a lake in two parts, and water accumulates on one side and after 2 or 3 years the difference of level breaks the glacier and there is a major collapse. It's impressive, but I never had seen it myself.

IIUC this is a minor collapse that are more common, but the strange part is that a big chunk of ice that was underwater raised to the surface.

Russia not being a democracy is the real problem. From early 2000 on Putin has solidified his power through shady means. Look up the various killings, from journalists and others.

After that, he has used all of his “Active Measures” (look that up too) to divide the West. Also I sincerely doubt we would be in this mess if Russia was a functioning democracy.

Basically you have one guy who can damage the world, answering to no one. Russia and Russians was never the problem, just one man and his cronies.

There were a ton of alternatives that would have made Russia more powerful and respected without resorting to Soviet tactics.
These are really impressive "misuses" of the technology available. VERY impressive.

The ease of working with a react version from 2015 vs jquery?

jQuery is very easy to understand and edit in notepad. It doesn't require getting the right npm version / maintaining dependencies of specific package versions that may be depreciated.

Routing is better handled in the backend.

Backend frameworks have been around longer. By treating them as an api only you end up reinventing the wheel. Caching, state management, reactivity have been handled in the backend for awhile.
I'd take that with a pinch of salt, and wonder who commissioned the study? Anti-alcohol or temperance groups? Last time they succeeded in getting alcohol banned it directly led to the Mafia getting established in the US in the 1920s.
I'm surprised noone is mentioning that a CDN totally does help to serve your assets across different geographies.

Even if HTTP/2 is faster to load multiple assets over the same connection, I found it still better for users on other continents to serve my web app over the main domain from my server in US-East or Central and have a global CDN catching ALL my assets (not 5 CDNs for 5 different JS frameworks)
If the content of the encyclopedia is meant to be a representation of objective facts, then why on earth could it matter what the race of the people writing it is?

We know that Russian humanitarian corridors are fake, so we tell our own citizens to not follow them, because they will die again. However, we need to regroup our units as much as Russians, so we agreed on ceasefire.

I did not follow this closely because I'm busy with my own problems right now (furreal of 3 man killed by Russians will be tomorrow, so I need to make preparations). However, my advice to our government is in line with advices of other veterans of war with Russia: don't trust them. Russia invaded Ukraine and killed thousands after years of lies about peace. Why they will be honest today?
I'm an American, and I've spent a lot of time in Mexico. I'm a bit surprised that Ukrainians would want to come to the US from Mexico right now. Mexico is a lot more distant from the current conflict than the US, life there is more affordable, and the weather is better. A lot of my American friends are leaving for Mexico due to the current war.
See, THIS is incomparable because anti-war pamphlets are ideas being banned. This policy from YouTube is not doing that. It's saying that ideas based on misinformation must be paired with the evidence to contextualize it.
Smarking (YC W15) is hiring to accelerate mobility digitization
Going by international laws on refugees, any country further along the travel path can send these people back to the first country in the path they consider safe, so for example the US could send these people back to Mexico, Mexico could send them back to Germany, and Germany could send them back to Poland. The US has absolutely no obligation to take these people.
And yet you can’t take a picture of the stars or street lights on an iphone…
I don't think you'll hear in real time how close we probably already came, but maybe after all the dust has settled there might be some stories along those lines.

For now, we are on a knife edge, and the number of refugees is mounting steadily. I expect we'll be in the millions by the end of next week.
