What do you propose then? Let Russia do whatever destruction and war crimes and genocides it wants? Or start a nuclear war? Those are the three options on the table, and the EU and US are taking the middle way. Yes, the sanctions are hurting Europe too, but their impact is enormous for the Russian economy and people.

Yes - USA was involved, as was Russia, France, Poland and Germany.

I agree that discussing who should and should not be in the government of an independent state is wrong.

But there was no coup and Yanukovych himself signed an agreement whose first point stipulated government change, Yanukovych decided to flee on his own and Yanukovych was impeached by democratically elected parliament.

USA did not start the protests. The protests started because people, especially around Kyiv, wanted and still want more than ever across the whole Ukraine to join EU. Yanukovych was elected with the promise of joining EU as a strategic goal.

At the same time, on 27 February 2014, masked Russian troops without insignia took over the Supreme Council (parliament) of Crimea and captured strategic sites across Crimea. Crimea was annexed on 18 March 2014 by Russia.
It's amazing how often the US/West gets away with the exact same scam.

Step one: install tough nationalist leader

Step two: sell the countries natural resources cheap to US/West

Step three: invest that money wisely to grow the nation.

Only joking, you don't need strongmen to sell natural resources cheaply to foreigners, you need them for the real step three when someone points out you're getting rich selling the country's resources and the average person gets nothing.

Real step 3: authoritarian crackdown financed with western cash inflows.

Step Four: slow, then quick, collapse of the above regime during which the big power play is to threaten to stop selling the resources cheaply and jailing, killing, torturing a bunch of actual patriots.

Step five: US/West to the rescue, saving you from those naughty strongmen who sold them the resources.

China got really lucky by not having many natural resources beside their people.

Russia, Iraq, Chile etc. got totally played.
Why should they be mentioned? Is the threat of Chinese economic ties worth tacit support of military intervention?

Personally, I'm using the next cloud notes app. It's somewhat limited - essentially just plain text with a bit of markdown support, but the upside is that my data is stored in plain text files that are easy to backup and/or export if I ever decide to switch to something else.

I'm running it on an unRAID server with nightly backups, but you could just as easily run it from a raspberry pi.

Before next cloud, I was using text files in Dropbox.

My employer just started using notion. It seems fine so far, but I don't see myself switching away from next cloud any time soon.
Why not just register the backups as additional keys? Then you could configure an alert for any time they're used.
They replaced the good enough native apps with a horrible Electron piece of garbage. That was the final straw.
No idea about Libya situation, but in Europe, people wanting side with the west is very natural choice.

Please compare Ukraine’s or Belarus or Moldova’s situation (politic/democracy and economic) with any EU country bordering Russia.

From the article :

"The allegations about civilian massacres are not only fueling outrage. They are also adding to a widespread determination to concede nothing to Russia in any peace talks, and to wage war until all Russian forces have been expelled from the country, including from Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. And from Moscow’s breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine, where the Ukrainians and Russians have been fighting for eight years.

That view is also expressed by ethnic Russians who have fled predominantly Russian-speaking towns in east and southeast Ukraine. Russian soldiers were told by their officers at the outset of the invasion that they would be greeted as heroes. Instead, they’ve been met with civilian protests and surliness, to their apparent surprise. Widespread looting and stealing by Russian soldiers has added to the anger of locals, with some saying it is a tactic of thuggish terror aimed at breaking their will and others suspecting it is plain hooliganism by ill-disciplined troops."
Honestly that sounds a lot like the org is unhealthy. A Junior causing such delays by a single mistake? Better shapen up your processes and add more (or at all!) review and some safeguards. Also there should be someone responsible to guide you (even in the absence of the lead) that you can turn to with your question, even if they might be basic or something that you should definitely know at this point. Sometimes you just draw a blank and there should be no judgement involved. IMHO a healthy org has most of their processes documented, so you can always turn to that first to look something up. Also it is expected that a Junior is "costing" more at first, so don't worry about this too much.

I also tend to forget things so I have setup OneNote and write everything down that is important - maybe doing the same will work for you? (Other tools like private Confluence space or even simple text files work too!)

Also I want to touch on your last sentence: I have seen principal engineers doing absolutely stupid mistakes because... they are people and people screw up from time to time. Don't let it bother you too much. You are self reflecting and want to improve, this is the most important first step. Keep working hard and smart, don't try to rush things, write things down, ask for help and the rest will come totally naturally over time :)
It's due to how the puzzles are generated. Positions that have a jump in centipawn evaluation are used as puzzles. If you're under 1500 then stick to the basics. Analyze all your games. The only way to improve is to practice and study.
>Yanukovych decided to flee on his own

What on earth does that even mean?

If you watch the videos the entire city was on fire and the "peaceful protestors" were firing rocket propelled grenades at the police force. And the Democratically elected leader, Yanukovych, had to flee the country and give control over to the insurrectionists or he would have been murdered.

I guess you can say "That wasn't a coup" if you like, but we would really just arguing about semantics here.

NumPy-100
Ask HN: Why PyTorch einsum is significantly slower than transpose
I have been tinkering with some DL models and wanted to implement part of it using PyTorch einsum. Before doing so I was wondering about the performance. I have been a bit skeptic as I believe there is a parsing (and even may be somewhat code generation) involved in implementation of einsum (I have never look under the hood of PyTorch or Numpy as to how is it implemented, so I may be completely wrong)

So to measure the performance, I created a simple benchmark of comparison. I created a Tensor with these dimensions (BATCH, X, Y). Like so -

a = torch.randn(10, 20, 30)

Then in Jupyter I did this

%%timeit

torch.einsum('b i j -> b j i', a)

AND

%%timeit

a.transpose(1, 2)

-----------------------

This is the result

5.43 µs ± 63.5 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100,000 loops each) [Einsum]

1.15 µs ± 2.51 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1,000,000 loops each) [transpose]

Am I doing / reading something wrong? Is it a wrong way to benchmark? Or is it really true what I see, that einsum is order of magnitude slower than transpose?

+1...but most farmers I've known who did have "barnyard" cats seemed quite aware of which cats were or were not good at vermin control. None of the farmers have (that I've heard) "intentionally bred" barnyard cats. But they may not hesitate to, ah, "strongly influence" which barnyard cats enjoy reproductive success. Sometimes in ways which non-farmers with pet cats might prefer not to hear about.
For those that aren't aware, ZGEN (https://github.com/tarjoilija/zgen) is the best of both worlds. Pick and choose from every plugin system out there.
It's also possible to go too far in the direction of seeing only tactics but never strategy, and taking countries publicly stated goals and motives at face value. Zbigniew Brzezinski was one of our most influential contemporary foreign policy thinkers - here's the NYT reviewing his book 'The Grand Chessboard':

Brzezinski ... describes a very forbidding situation in the years ahead if the United States does not make more permanent the dominance it now has over a vast area of the world. "This huge, oddly shaped Eurasian chessboard -- extending from Lisbon to Vladivostok -- provides the setting for 'the game,'" Brzezinski says. "If the middle space can be drawn increasingly into the expanding orbit of the West (where America preponderates), if the southern region is not subjected to domination by a single player, and if the East is not unified in a manner that prompts the expulsion of America from its offshore bases, America can then be said to prevail. But if the middle space rebuffs the West, becomes an assertive single entity, and either gains control over the South or forms an alliance with the major Eastern actor, then America's primacy in Eurasia shrinks dramatically."[1]

In other words, for the US to continue its unipolar domination requires the lack of cohesive blocs dominated by other great powers. Obviously in this context Brzezinski is alluding to Russia and China in the Eurasian 'chessboard', but the logic is broadly applicable around the globe. There's also a difference between controlling events like a puppeteer pulling strings and the more common scenario where our actions help catalyze events we may not have intended but were nonetheless predictable and seen as not worth the effort or trade-offs to avoid.

Russia can import all the Western consumer products it wants from China in exchange for natural resources.

The idea that Russians will rise up because they can't access YouTube is wishful thinking. Stalin was objectively worse. But he still managed to die in office without ever having to face a real uprising.

While there might be a degradation in efficiency, it's not like Russia will be unable to keep extracting natural resources without Western assistance. Iraq under Saddam Hussein was able to keep selling oil despite the sanctions.
This seems interesting, and is likely use it if I hadn't already got a setup that I like with antigen.

Nice project.
I thoroughly agree, although... I think one of the main reasons for why I'm not using w3m more is because the keybindings feel so alien to me.

The quoted description is correct. The boot ROM loads code from flash: the "second stage" loader. That loader then (usually) configures the RP2040 to execute the actual application directly from flash.

But the "Easter egg" function discussed in this HN thread is not inside any code loaded/executed from flash. It is inside the boot ROM (as I've repeatedly stated); and that is indeed read-only memory, i.e., it cannot be modified except by manufacturing a new chip revision.

I'll be honest. You can know bits of front end engineering and get a front end engineer job without knowing it all (got to start somewhere).

I think that you'll find newer entrants to the field argue you don't need CSS (or HTML or Accessibility) knowledge. They will say that these are someone else's responsibilities.

My take is that if you are responsible for what is delivered to the client (the response) you are also responsible for all the aspects that the user interfaces with.

Otherwise the argument is that's there's a front end to the front end called the interface which is someone else's responsibility.

Some businesses may have designers that code components and CSS however I'd argue that that's still "the front end" and that if the designer "can't wire it up" then the job of front end engineering is shared by designer and developer, rather than split.

So, my answer would be "no", you're not a "complete" front end engineer if you don't know CSS, HTML (semantic/current version), accessibility and browser APIs.

You can be a front end engineer who is learning those things and needs help from others to deliver a "complete" front end, that's fine.
That's because we still live in a speciesist society.

Nvidia is truly special because their first product was a total market miss. They pushed for Quad rendering architecture and as a result could only do _seven_ crappy Saturn game ports. Its amazing they were given 2 more tries! Cancelled NV2 doubling down on quad rendering, and finally Riva 128 almost two years later.

Cats also show a form of... empathy? Consideration?

One of my cats wakes me up every day around 5-6AM to get food. She does so by making just enough noise to wake me up, but not my partner (she's doing it on my side of the bed, etc). She also does that when she's not hungry, but her sister is.
Full access to be device isn’t a “game over” scenario if the content is no longer on the device at all. The lack of this deletion feature means that something like WhatsApp is much more secure against certain threat scenarios.
When I learned about Vulkan the program I wrote using the raw Vulkan API drawing a triangle was 900 lines of C++. There is no such thing as "just" using Vulkan, working at that level is a major commitment and a total waste of time for nearly all game developers. Especially since major targets are using DirectX 12 or Metal instead. Yeah, you could use Vulkan on them, but it would be weird to want to use a low-level API and not go for the platform native one.
You can, has you have multiple ways of copying things. Yanking to the "+" register in n/vim would put the content into your primary clipboard that you can paste with tmux (or ctrl-v).

Rents are capped at the amount people can afford. If you earn €1000 a month as an artist, you can't pay €1500 a month in rent, no matter what supply and demand curves say.

Say there's a supply on 100 apartments and a demand from 120 artists. 100 will pay €1k per month, and 20 will have to leave the city. Landlords can't increase to €1050 a month because nobody can afford that.

If demand is higher than supply, rents will increase, but if the demand is entirely from people earning €1000 a month those rents won't increase past €1000 a month.

However you have a demographic on €5000 a month move in, they can afford higher rents. The same 100 apartments exist, and there's a demand from 120 people, but now those people are earning €5k a month. Rents thus shoot up to take all the money that can be spent on rent, because the alternative is moving out of the city and thus not being able to earn the €5k/month.

The people owning the property do well in this situation, and thus don't want supply to increase to the points that there is more supply than demand
>He's been bang on the money on the future of this industry since he founded Nvidia

by wasting two years on Quad rendering? Wonder how much VC money got burned in NV1 and cancelled NV2 debacle.
you are forgeting all the concrete evidence that the opportunists DO have access to power.

look no further than the leaked usa diplomat cables. for example, brazil found new oil reserves. president announces it will be nationalized to pay for new education reform. cables then show conversation about oil companies wanting that resource and that the local diplomats must "solve it". later brazil have a senate coup where president is removed on bogus charges and very first act if new president is to sell rights to the oil reserves bellow market value.

so, yeah, both your comment and the one you replied to are correct. it's all oportunistic, but the opportunists are the defacto masterminds of the power machine somehow.
Funny, my cat will try to wake me up but when I'm lethargic will start to attack my SO knowing the threat of that will animate me.
Question: is it possible to read an e-mail message while making the sender think you haven't received it?
More importantly - it can be fully self hosted.
Excellent advice and explanation. It is rightly on top.

The only thing I would take issue with is the first paragraph where you try to calm down the OP:

> Okay, first things first - take a breath. This is not that big a deal. If you're at a company that's big enough to have a PIP process, then there are two possibilities: (1) it's well-established enough to know that junior engineers aren't productive for about a year after hiring, or (2) it's completely incompetent. If it's (1), even if you actually are way below average, you still have some runway left. If it's (2), they almost certainly have enough of a reputation that you can "fail" at your current job without it really harming your long-term career path.

This way things are at least in US, is next to impossible to harm your long-term career path by failing at one job. One needs to be at least prosecuted to harm their long-term career.

OP, if tomorrow you'll get fired on the spot, in a year time frame your most-likely will find yourself better of than you are now (and, frankly, likely to be better off if you stay at your present company).
So...

Re:mmt.

Modern monetary theory seems to enjoy spooking people. Not sure that's a good thing.

However... You can and should separate between "how X works" and "what should we do." Mmt has the best description of how fiat money works. A lot of this is at odds with existing institutional structure in both the US & EU.

In any case, there is no contradiction between MMT and being conservative, anti-centralisation or any other value system. It is just a description of how bank money works.

The powers still exist, they're just non-explicit currently. EU members can, in effect, print euros. As we saw in the Greek crisis, the ECB's actual role/power is making euros exchangeable for euros, regardless of country.

This is very different to how these instructions were conceived, because they didn't understand the money system of their own time.

Similarly, the US Fed-treasury complex doesn't represent where power and control actually are. The whole discourse becomes jumbled.

> Other tests include the ability to learn and remember. Is the ability to learn by rote a sign of intelligence? If so, any avian mimic is intelligent.

I would argue this shouldnt just be dismissed like that. I would argue that mimicking is a sign of intelligence - The fact that a toddler can mimic an animal, even if that animal has vastly different anatomy, seems very intelligent. It suggests an understanding of the similarities between function of body parts, even if the form differs significantly. Why would an avian mimic not be a sign of significant intelligence, such as understanding vocalizations and how they happen? A bird rarely has to sit there for hours trying random sounds to mimic another sound, it understand and knows what to do, does it not?
