Few reasons:

- Limitations spark creativity. I’ve read a lot of good short stories under 1,000 words (Kafka was great at this)

- Just keeping things accessible for the first contest.

- A lot of people (myself included) don’t have time for 500 page epics anymore. Shorter stories fit into life more easily.

Future contests will have longer limits, but I think 10,000 max is still probably a good idea.
It's possible that technology could usefully augment my senses, but I'd be very skeptical of anything complicated. If it's safety critical I want to be confident it won't fail.
I'll have to look into more of the story of her involvement in 1990s actions against Iraq. Whatever it is I am sure it's not as bad as what the other party did in 2003.

Need to vent about something your comment is reminding me of. I saw it in Putin's speeches, and a recent RT clip -- this notion that what the US did to Iraq in 2003 justifies actions in Ukraine. As an American who was very opposed to the second Iraq war I find this false justification very disappointing. Firstly, that one bad action does not justify another. Second, the story that the US tells about itself is that we sometimes make mistakes, then our political process tries its best to correct them as time goes on. See also: slavery. Or the fact that the Iraq war is pretty unpopular in retrospect. We openly admit to not being perfect, but try to commit ourselves to continuous improvement. That's an important point.

Then (a) no need for an automation to generate the image; (b) any image or svg is directly editable.
Isn't that the case for a lot of things you learn? Sometimes it's just nice to get exposed to new things or concepts even if you never use any of it in practice.
I haven't gone really hardcore into it, but am slowly collecting a "stash". I've been stocking up on extra cat food and litter for a while. I am also gathering canned goods and recently brought 3kg of rice, a first aid kit (and an extra one for the cats), duct tape, and a half-mask with a reusable particle filter. I'm aiming to have ~4 weeks of supplies on hand; next on the list is water. I also want to get a battery powered radio and some solar chargers.

> On what basis are you saying the interrupt messes it up?

Because nothing else makes sense. The code as posted in the linked article does not seem to have an ordering violation that I can see. The linked blog just asserts that it's there, but AFAICT it isn't unless there's a symmetric ordering bug in the putative context switch code that isn't presented.

This is not the right way to think about it. What nits are books designed for? Do books look bad when you read next to a window despite being well past 1,600 nits?

The comfortable amount of nits is entirely dependent on ambient lighting conditions.

Next to a window, 1600 nits can look dim.

What Apple is doing now looks terrible because SDR and HDR do not coexist well at all. Any HDR video even ones that you wouldn't think would be "bright", blow up the screen while your SDR content next to it is now hard to read. HDR and SDR should have a comparable average brightness level with only "highlights" going "brighter than bright", but that's not what they do, they make the entire video brighter. People want uniform brightness. If I want my entire screen to go bright, I can set the damn brightness myself.

> It's a total cop-out to not "accept 100% liability" for a self-driving system they built

And what exactly is the liability for anyone produces cars that go well above and beyond every legal speed limit? By your logic, any car made that can go above the highest legal limit in a country should be held 100% liable for any accident occurring in that condition.

A certain level of data should be collected and available upon every crash like with airplanes. If the manufacturer is found at fault due to a flaw in their design, then they should be liable.

> There are no friends in the spy game; this should have become abundantly clear after the revelations on US tapping the German chancellor as a matter of routine.

Even in the late 1990s, the public learned the FVEY countries had explicit agreements to not spy on each others' governments. Anyone paying attention knew that meant that the US probably considered all non-FVEY governments fair game. Germany might feign surprise, but German counterintelligence knew there was a club, and they weren't in it.

In the early 2000s, I was contracted out to write (unclassified) network simulations for a US defense contractor. I was using a library written by a colleague contracted out to a French defense contractor. I found an apparent bug in poorly commented code (treating unexpected error codes as successes). My client instructed me that I could talk to my French colleague over the phone and verify that it really was a bug, but if the colleague asked, I couldn't tell him what the code was being used for (apart from general network simulation). Furthermore, if my colleague asked a second time what the library was being used for, I was to (1) assume he was working for French intelligence,(2) hang up immediately, and (3) report the incident to my client. My French colleague was experienced and smart enough not ask the forbidden question. I was smart enough not to ask him about the purpose for which he originally wrote the library. We both knew the rules. Nobody paying attention is surprised that even close allies routinely spy on each other.

How much does Google communicate to the user with this?

One big benefit I didn't mention, is any yearly membership I get a communication from Apple that it is about to renew. Reminding me to cancel if I no longer want to use it.

I don't know of a single service I have subscribed too directly that does this.

What I wish they prioritized instead was empowering users to download things and share them.

When you think about it, it's actually crazy that some websites prevent you from copy-pasting. That you need to learn how to use the "network" tab to save a video you came across online. I wish some browser prioritized going beyond the URL and actually turning content back into files we can share.
The software side of this vision is already surprisingly mature and mostly waiting for hardware to catch up.

On my Quest 2, I can pop into a virtual environment with 5 desktops scaled around me in 3D space, a physical keyboard fully rendered into the environment that also tracks my fingers, and a scaleable camera “portal” positioned over the location of my doorway (in physical space) that displays a camera feed of anyone entering the room.

If I’m trying to relax, I can hop into a virtual movie theater on the moon and watch a 3D Blu-ray rip or play most modern AAA pc games.

All of this while sitting in a lounge chair in my living room.

And then, of course, there’s all the 6dof VR games but, after Alyx barely moved the hardware sales needle, I don’t think that sort of thing is what’s needed to drive mass adoption at this point.

VR needs much better screen tech, high performant SoCs, and a “coolness” factor. I wonder if there’s a company known for all three that has repeatedly yoinked entire markets even though they entered “late”?

I genuinely hope both of you continue this thread, even as I think it's unlikely that you'll come to common ground. I'm finding it extremely helpful to clarify my thoughts on this type of situation.
A basic overview is available on Wikipedia:

I devoted a chapter of my book to this subject, especially regarding when and how entrepreneurs should think about the trade-off between outsourcing, versus work from home, versus work from the office:

Get married, have children, buy assets.

There's this idea that men don't need to settle down because they can have children at any age, which I guess is technically true but it presupposes that a 30 y/o woman will want to have children with you when you're 45, but they are more inclined to go +5 years, not +15.

Also take prescription labels more seriously, like don't take Advil all the time, because you will get an ulcer and don't mix alcohol and aspirin because it causes liver damage.

TIL Kissinger is older than Queen Elizabeth.

Which makes me think – who is the oldest person alive who has had a non-trivial amount of impact on global politics and the current world order?

Edit: just realized Jimmy Carter is older than both of them!
This is where I have found review to be really tricky. I have reviewed so much unreadable code that I lose faith sometimes. More to the point, readability issues are often perceived as nitpicks. Eventually after a few rounds of readability issues being addressed I can tell what the actual code is doing. At that point the major suggestions and some rework comes out, but now the author feels burned, nitpicked, and now instead of being done "their perfectly functional" code needs more work and the whole thing is not done. Do this a few times and relationships begin to break down.

Hence, I now try really hard to ignore readability until the end.

I don't know if this partly just hostile developers, different understanding of code. Ie, is code for humans to read, or for machines to execute? Or if it's dealing with feature factory developers that just want to keep adding despite how brittle the code is becoming. I presume the problem is somewhere in between, but to another extent the normalcy of the absurd where it is normal to spend 5 minutes per line of code to understand it, it is normal to havk in features and do manual regression testing, etc..
Do you have access to information? She's a war criminal just like Kissinger.

Crypto exchange profits are very high right now, but I'm surprised that they aren't falling faster.

Stock trades went to $0 long ago, yet crypto exchanges continue to charge around 0.5% (with some discounts if you're savvy) and nobody bats an eye.

But then again, I can send money anywhere for basically $0, yet everything I do with cryptocurrency comes with transaction fees and waits. I wonder if crypto users are basically more primed to expect fees and crypto exchanges are better at making users forget about it with clever UX?

Either way, I expect exchange profits will decline slowly as they begin competing with each other more.

> I can absolutely see the appeal of spending your money in an industry where nobody cares who you are or what products you use.

Many years ago, I was affiliated with a permeant lan gaming store (this was before everyone had high speed internet - which was the downfall of the store when it became available) that was down the road from the state capital.

The store was next to another one who's owner was known in certain circles of politics - but it was more a "known in the circles" rather than "active in the circles"... anyways...

One day, a well dressed young man came around a lunch break time and asked about the video games and playing them and then came back after working hours and played some lan games for a bit.

When he left, the neighbor shop owner came over and asked if we knew who that was - turned out to be the speech writer or press person for the governor at the time.

He often came back and the guess of the appeal (beyond playing games) was twofold. (1) None of the other patrons of the shop cared - they were mostly high school and college kids. (2) Once on line, no one knew who he was.

So yep - spending money where no one cares who you are or what you do where you would be noteworthy outside can have its appeal.

I would argue that most businesses do not want to predatorily extract money from unwilling customers

I find it difficult to agree with this – and I'm not just being scattergun cynical. I quite literally think that the vast majority of consumer-facing businesses work as hard as they can to juice more money out of their customers through obfuscation.

It's easy to argue that this is a benefit for developers, or open ecosystems, or just plain principles or whatever, because that's all almost certainly true. But it's also probably virtually certainly no better for users.

One of the major issues that I ran into is that the proprietary nvidia driver for desktop graphics cards and a xen dom0 hypervisor do NOT coexist well on the same machine.

Not really qubes specific, you can see the same if you take an ordinary debian-stable desktop linux system with nvidia graphics card and install the xen packages, then attempt to boot into a xen enabled kernel.
You can either spend $20k up front for the bootcamp, or pay $30k as part of an ISA over 5 years.

I definitely feel that, but I think it has more to do with the routine that comes with a "normal" life. When I am doing the same thing every day, months or years feel like they disappeared into nothing. But new experiences still slow things down. I think a big part of the time compression phenomenon is just that there are fewer really new experiences
I joined the Orthodox Church in my 40s. I wish I would have known about it when I was younger, especially in my 30s, with my young family. The benefits that come from daily spiritual devotion both individually and a family, as well as the benefits that come from being part of a faithful community are impossible to list. Is it all easy and is it all benefits? Of course not. But centering my life around God through daily devotion to the practices that are part of that have brought so much more stability and fulfillment than I ever could have known.
Uh, you are getting something mixed up. When you go to a bank and deposit money, that money is your asset and the bank's liability because the bank promised to return it whenever you want to withdraw it.

In layman terms you are lending money to the bank and the bank owes you a debt. The central bank does the same thing but the depositors are commercial banks in this scenario.

>But the real amazing part is that when the Fed buys something (and the only thing they ever buy is bonds) they just wish the money into existence. They take your bond and write a number in your account. And when they sell something back, the bond goes to the buyer and the money disappears.

They wish bank reserves into existence taking an asset and creating a liability in equal proportion. By the way, commercial banks do the same thing and when they lend you money, you can actually buy things with it instead of only being able to use the fed money to lend to consumers and companies! Wow, commercial banks are amazing (sarcasm), they don't create the "useless" funny money (reserves) that the Fed creates that you can't even spend on groceries!

I just realized that this rabbit hole is too long to explain over and over again. Here is a nice summary: https://youtu.be/ZFRVfXeIaek
A 3 month supply has always been the sensible position. It came in handy when the pandemic hit. It came in handy the last time gas prices went so high that supply lines were threatened. It comes in handy if you lose a job and need to curtail spending for a few weeks. It even comes in handy if you get a surprise visit from family and need to whip up a meal 3 times the size you thought you would need that night.

There are many reasons that having some surplus can stabilize your life, and they are not all about societal-level disruptions.

This is also why it is such a problem that so many people do not have the resources to do this.

I run oathtool on my laptop as "2FA". Arguably not "true" 2FA, but with strong non-reused passwords it's "good enough". There's a bunch of non-Android phones like the PinePhone and whatnot, which should be perfectly fine for what you want.

I recently got a Pocketbook HD, which is a small Linux-based eReader. You can run your own "apps" on it with a minimal amount of hackery (I use KOReader[1] for example). I've been thinking of trying to get some passport manager/2FA running on it as well.

It's got WiFi as well (which I never use), and bluetooth for music (which is pretty useful when reading in noisy trains etc.) Actually it would be pretty neat if it could do calls and SMS: it's larger than a phone, but I don't need to always carry a phone, and I usually carry my eReader if I'm away from the house for various things (e.g. when I went to IKEA today I carried it with me to have something to read during lunch).

It's a minor procedure but it involves sedative / light anesthesia. Basically I have to get my lower GI tract investigated for pre-cancer every year and they try to remove any faster growths. Nothings ever turned up malignant yet, but it's an annual check-up just in case. They give me some light sedative while they put hoses and tubes in my rectum. Perhaps I could forego the anesthesia, I haven't asked.

The "we can't let you drive yourself home" policy is always due to anesthesia/sedatives. If you're not receiving those then you can drive yourself.
Because it’s an income share agreement, so whether you land a job making $100k or $51k you still owe 10% of your income to this company for 5 years. Regardless of the amount actually “borrowed”. And I’m guessing there is a cap at 150% of the “loan”. So if you land a high paying job rt off the bat you could end up paying a lot more than you borrowed.
Since apparently it's not connected to credit score, what stops you from just not paying it?

If small claims court is genuinely their only recourse, that sounds like something I might try my odds in, especially if I have a compelling case that I've been screwed.

Great comments - Better results require more data, improving models, and onboarding new (different) models. All areas of focus for us!
Saddam could have stepped down and ended the sanctions at any time.
Colocation provider will bring the circuits to provide best-path connectivity based on packet destination. There shouldn't be an additional charge for this. They are incentivized to manage their bandwidth so data transfers fast, as they are likely charged wholesale for fiber availability.

You will likely be charged 95th percentile mbps based on your usage. (Again, "pipe space required" to your needs.) Basically, whenever you're busiest -- 4pm-9pm are popular times for us in the USA.

Some customers limit their bandwidth themselves (like, only allow max 12mbps file downloads, etc.) especially when they have the hardware to support huge bandwidth. Or your colocation provider can perhaps limit max connection to 100mbs or 1gbps if you want.

Power is usually leased in amps. If you go over amps the circuit will break -- at worst case scenario. But typically they get in touch with you and tell you to upgrade.

Also, they do want to know vaguely what your service is. Because you'll likely lease their IPs, they will question you if you do a lot of email (caution for spam), or run a Tor exit node (legal hassles for them in many cases).
I once read "software describes what the machine shall do, HDL describes, what it shall _be_" and found that pretty accurate.
