In the bigger context, we always did and still do. Even going so far to actively support some of them and not just tolerate. Especially when they were supposed to keep "communists" in check.

And no, you're not China, whose government is actively supporting Russia; which means that any humanitarian support flowing from China to Ukraine is news.
Right. Ads should be limited to selling actual products or services.
I know that Baldur’s Gate 3 looks pretty frigging awesome on my mbp-max, and it has a native arm binary, so no need for Rosetta and uses Metal2.
Interesting I think that makes it the first mainstream real world CSV tool I've used that is truly comma separated values then, rather than delimiter-separated-defaulting-to-comma.
Obviously I'm just reading between the lines here, but it sounds like:

1. You knew you left on bad terms.

2. The company you applied to asked for a reference from your previous company, which is fairly standard.

3. Previous company gave you a bad (or at least less than good reference).

Your mistake is that you should have been upfront with the new company about leaving on bad terms from your previous one. Most interviews include some form of a "why are you looking for a new job?" question, and that's your opportunity to explain at least some part of what went wrong. The fact is, as a hirer, I would treat any negative reference that a candidate gave to me as a giant red flag, because the candidate pretty much controls who they're giving me as references!
Assuming you're talking about Bluetooth mics: If you're using pipewire-media-session (for example, if you're on NixOS 21.11 instead of NixOS unstable), then profile autoswitching [0] is disabled by default, so you have to use pavucontrol to switch from A2DP to HSP. Profile autoswitching is enabled by default in WirePlumber, which is the default session manager in NixOS unstable as of a few days ago.

Ok? Then you don't have to expose yourself to it. I'm not arguing otherwise. There are many good ways to step outside one's filter bubble.

For what it's worth, though, my Twitter experience is pretty different. I follow a wide variety of people. Some of my feed is politics. A lot isn't. If you just have it show you a strict time-ranked feed and discourage it from suggesting stuff to you, you can tailor the experience quite a bit.
I think the answers to your question revolve around Russia ending up being an economically linked vassal state of China, China/India/Russia becoming an economic block, and a desire to not use the US dollar as a reserve currency.

Personally, I think Putin is screwing over his own people almost as badly as people in Ukraine - in the long run. Ukraine will get a lot of love from the west, when the fighting is over.
>Is that an important difference? Who cares how the table is created.

You seem to be argumentative instead of trying to understand why they called it "virtual".

I'll try with another example. Let's pretend you have a 10 gigabyte csv file on disk::

Using a real SQLite table:

CREATE TABLE t1 (...); -- an empty db file of 8192 bytes
.import thefile.csv t1 -- total disk space consumed now 20 GB because .db file is now +10 GB larger
SELECT FROM t1; -- SQLite reads from .db file and not the .csv file

Using a "virtual" SQLite table:

CREATE VIRTUAL TABLE temp.t1 USING csv(filename='thefile.csv'); -- disk space stays the same
SELECT from t1; -- SQLite directly reads from csv disk file

>Is it a table or not?

At the risk of stating the obvious, the extra "VIRTUAL" keyword in between "CREATE" and "TABLE" thus makes a virtual table.

It is a "table" in the sense that it "acts like a table" via an interface for SQL queries. However, it's not a real table in the sense that there's no data blocks within the .db that represents that table. It's virtual.

I'm not understanding what annoys you about their description.

>Is apple sacrificing the resellers to maintain its M1Max/RAM stock for Mac Studio/new products?

Yes. From a consumer perspective. No, from a line manager and capacity planning perspective.
Not sure why you are being voted down. I think it's clear that Russia's invasion of Chechnya triggered NATO to join a bunch of ex-warsaw pact countries. That was a further escalation which then caused Putin to feel excused to invade Georgia and Ukraine.
Having a shootout agreement in place I think is the best option: At any moment, a founder may wish to buy someone else's equity, or may wish to sell his own. At that moment, he proposes a transaction value. The counter-party has the choice to take either side of the transaction.

Example: Alice wants out. She proposes that Bob buys her shares for 50k. Bob may either accept the purchase, if he thinks the price is correct, or he must sell his own shares to Alice if he thinks the proposal is over-valued.

There are more details to this, like a horizon allowing for funds to be sought, the possibility of financing by the company or dealing with more than two partners, but this is the gist of it.
I wonder if you could use alignment of multiple samples for better vectorizing of letters of old books. You could create very nice vector only pdfs.
Actually that sounds amazing: you seem to want to do what you do and do that right, nothing more, nothing less.

There are only so many L+1 spots, someone who wants to do actual work in the team rather than invest a lot of time getting such a spot and potentially do things that may be risky or end up leaving the firm could be a very valuable part of the team.
> The world's dependence on Chinese manufacturing is like Europe's dependence on Russian gas, times ten.

This assumes that we won't make moves to mitigate this dependence in response to Russia's invasion. The US Innovation and Competition Act [1] likely has a much higher chance of passing today than it did prior to Russia's invasion. It calls for $250 billion investment in high tech manufacturing [2]. It has passed the Senate and is currently waiting in the House. I wouldn't be surprised to see the bill grow in scope.

Direct methods could be useful in your case. https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~dyer/ai-qual/irani-visalg00.pdf
Maybe you could use this for when there are "enough" features, and keep using the manual method for the remaining situations. I'd have to take a look at the images to have a better idea of what you are dealing with.
proteins don't fold to their energy minimum, they typically "collapse" to an intermediate state and then sample many different states (kinetically), rather than adopting the absolute thermodynamic minimum. In many proteins, the structure snapshot doesn't even correspond to a functionally active protein. The "protein folding problem is NP-hard is an entirely inaccurate view of the biophysics of folding", and if solved, would not address any useful question about folding.

What DeepMind solved was a far simpler problem: reproduce the structures that get produced by some experimental method. That's a well posed problem but ultimately a less interesting one, even if it's immediately "useful".

A meeting with a hundred of your closest friends isn't a meeting, much less a private meeting, it's a public announcement. Maybe if all of those hundred are your employees you could consider it private, but assuming it wouldn't leak would be naïve. Apple wanted a couple weeks head start on Rhapsody and Napster, and they fucked up and forgot to inform their guests that the announcement was under wraps. There's not more to it.
Would be pretty helpful. I imagine the politics would be tricky given then the markets from local to federal. I can't see utilities and their politicians liking this idea or the ISOs for that matter.

Do you know what the CAPEX on something like that would be / return on investment? I.e. is it possible to build / financially viable?

I agree would be pretty fantastic and the dividends that we would get from lower costs GHG/$ would be strong.
Noted. Thanks for the advice! :)
I think the argument is more focused around we shouldn't have nice things that could greatly benefit society because nuke plants haven't displayed a great success rate with securing their premises. The NNSA (nuke nsa) seems to be pretty strong in cyber, so I'll limit this to just physical security.

But the difference between hydro, tall buildings, etc is the critical physical security aspect nuke plants have. I agree with the point that the nuke plants seem to be capable of pretty safe operations.

But, using the 40 years of activism from the Plowshares movement[0] as one example, doesn't seem like we're capable of securing the plants from "terrorists" with the no-fail rate that I'd somewhat want for nuke physical security. As recently as '12, Oak Ridge of all places was broken into via Plowshares activists.

So if we can't track a known activist group that does this, what are our long term odds of tracking an unknown terror group with good opsec (signal, decentralized org, etc), with 100% success rate? Your comparison to virology fits here, and the two (nuke vs. dangerous medicine) seem to be treated differently in this regard, and that scares me, for one.

I think a somewhat comparable scenario could be: it's reasonable to expect that Walmart should defend against most counterfeit currency on their own. But should they be expected to defend against counterfeit currency made with state-level resources, such as supernotes with the same paper, ink, printing process and security features, where there's no guarantee that any reasonable detection method will work? This is, interestingly, something that has been linked to North Korea as well (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superdollar).
Hu was acquitted and cleared of all charges.
Is selling products or services not political propaganda in its own way?
Very much so.

I just designed a presentation for a Zoom talk I'm doing, and its intended use case is not only that I'll be going through it during the talk, but that printouts will be available, and the handout/resource will be available digitally perpetually.

Since the presentation involves complex, easily confused topics (voting research), being very specific is necessary in this case.

Marketing a product or making an argument require different types of presentations than teaching. Each can be done well or poorly.
People are motivated by more than just money.
Anti-NATO sentiment has become pivotal to China's future and the new world order since recent events have pushed most of the world into America's corner (which hurts China).

Now they're basically compensating for Russia's mess (and won't ever let them forget that).
StarCraft II 5.0.9 PTR Patch Notes
Hiring engineers is hard. Unless you’re in a very large company with complex internal politics, you can tell your manager literally anything and they’ll be fine with it. Most managers have been taught that engineers need excitement and growth and so they’re offering it because trying to retain you, they’re trying to avoid you being excited by something new and shiny. “I am happy and want to stay exactly where I am” is music to their ears, shout it from the roof tops. I wouldn’t take any lessons from layoffs.

If ineffective, because the IAEA and co have already indicated the risk of incidents is low. Same with the other nuclear power plant being captured; at this point I'd say the danger of Russia launching nukes is a tad bit higher than a nuclear power plant.

Besides, don't nuclear power plants have safeties built in these days in case of power loss or a lack of attendants? I've pulled up the article about control rods, if I'm reading it correctly, if inserted fully they should stop the reaction. I presume nuclear reactors have failsafes so that the control rods are inserted fully in case of incident.
> The co-founders are arguing about 30k's worth of shares.

The company is in one of those situations where it is likely to either fail in the near future or get much more valuable. Like Ford in 2008 at $2, or AMD under $2 prior to their Zen architecture. Arguments about why someone cares so much about so little are equally valid on either side and are not terribly useful.
0.8% of that mass is still a lot. Imagine having the pile of both towers and grabbing 1/100 of it.

If you are doing good work, that sounds like any managers dream: reliability!

Cormac McCarthy's abhorrence to using punctuation is the worst facet of his writing, and made the dialog in `Blood Meridian` practically unfollowable.

No. His (lack of) use of punctuation in his work is mesmerising and beautiful, and part of what made Blood Meridian one of the greatest novels of the last century.

Obviously that technique is less likely to be constructive in science writing.
I feel like it more broadly boils down to, if you put it on the internet you are responsible for securing it.

If you can't or don't want to secure it, don't put it online.
There were plenty of 400-500W power supplies in use back then, and 100W was on the low side for a non-tiny CRT. Don't forget that people commonly had multiple hard drives and/or external drives because storage hadn't saturated for the average user yet (oh, so many people learned the hard way that Iomega was not the answer…), and things like personal printers were more common since home networks weren't. I'm probably biased a bit as the home users I knew were mostly professionals rather than hobbyist but when people were speccing out UPSs they tended to assume numbers which these days we'd only see for beefy servers.

The bigger challenge is that while EnergyStar made a big improvement, it took a number of years to become something you could assume. Problems with firmware and software support meant that a lot of people disabled it to avoid problems and systems didn't spend as much time in lower-power states.
It's particularly frustrating that the lower-end the device, the worse this problem ends up. Someone who can only afford a phone with 16 GiB storage then ends up only have 2-4 GiB for discretionary use because of all the hostile shit the device manufacturer / carrier baked in to the system partition.
You're not providing a counter-argument, you're just calling people idiots. That's not an argument.
Why do we need to safely discard of the waste if it can just be "stored outside". Are other countries overly cautious or is it a different type of fuel rod? Why can't we just reuse 1 rod for example if it stays hot for a long time?
Death by PowerPoint: the slide that killed seven people (2019)
I remember sitting in a short session at a small UK university, about presenting, in 2002. The main message was to keep the audience's attention on you, not the screen. In many ways it was stating the obvious, but it's true that few people ever stop and reason about these things.

To this day, the few tips I picked up in that silly little session still make me a much better presenter and slide-maker than 99% of my colleagues, hands down, and I'm really not bragging.

Edit: "The US has an interest in biolabs in Ukraine" - I feel like this is a pretty useless nit to pick.

(Sorry for the twitter source. It's a video of Marco Rubio, a US senator, talking to Victoria Nuland)

The US is basically warning that Russia plans to release stuff from these labs and blame the Ukrainians for it. Kindof the same thing they were supposedly doing with Chernobyl. If that's Russian propaganda, then the propaganda has gotten to pretty senior levels of the state department.

edit: look I'm definitely not some Chinese misinfo spreader. I think that weaponization of social media, weaponization of the news, and weaponization of human emotion is basically the next version of nuclear weapons. That is: a new type of weapon that will (and is) completely change(ing) the war landscape. I think that sort of weapon is in use now, and the use will only increase. You've already seen Russia ban facebook for their citizens, China has their great firewall, and strict control over their citizens social media. It's here.

But I think the people who are trying to reach for these claims about bioweapons labs, or "bio labs" or perhaps no labs at all, are the ones spreading misinformation. That ambiguity and division that you are creating by spreading these lies is the problem. This desire to attack people's ability to interpret simple statements, and read the plain meaning of those simple statements is an attack on people's ability to resist this propaganda.

Does the US have "bio labs" in Ukraine? Yes. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30615313

Is the US concerned that the materials in these labs could fall into the hands of the Russians? Also yes.

These are facts. Acknowledging these facts does not make you a Q anon conspiracy theorist, a Trump supporter, or anything else. These things are just nakedly true.

Now once you've acknowledged these things as simply true, you can get to the question of "is this a problem?" - To be clear, in my opinion: no these things are not necessarily a problem. Yes the US runs bio weapons labs in Ukraine. We do it for reasons that people have indicated in some of their comments. These are defensive in nature.

There's a question about if human beings generally should be studying this, but that is independent to the question about the US running biolabs (studying weapons...so...bioweapons labs) in Ukraine. You HAVE to acknowledge these truths. It should be obvious that having a good ability to separate truth from fiction is the way to defend against the type of propaganda that I outlined above. Twisting yourselves into knots to not accidentally acknowledge some information which is blatantly true, is how the propaganda is allowed to spread. It is an attack on your sense making ability. Please stop doing this.

>And here’s CGTN’s article

That's GlobalTimes. I know they are both state media, but we are talking CGTN here.

> citing Russia media outlets and officials

I bet I can find them quoting US or Ukrainian media outlets and officials too. Should media not report what countries fighting a war claim? It's not like Western media consistently gets it right (e.g. deaths on snake island) by reporting only the pro-Ukrainian side.

> They peddle Russia’s claim that US has bioweapons

Why link to Newsweek instead of the actual CGTN post? I am less interested what Western media claims CGTN says than proof of what they actually say.
