On that time scale Russia is no special at all. Atrocities committed by the West will make normal human want to loose sanity. For your own education and as a little sample just check what Belgium did in Congo. England had raped half of the world. The rest of the world was just as bad. Just less powerful. So please cut the bullshit.

Current Russian regime and their leaders deserve to be dealt with for sure. Personally I would dump Putin into meat grinder (not really because I am not a rabid dog he is but these are my feelings).

But to claim that Russia did this because of the rotten nature of Russian people in general - this is not true and is pure racism.
Is there a reason why the pretrained models are not included as well? Or perhaps this is coming at some point in the future? There are many users who simply want to play around with the functionality, who lack the time and hardware required to replicate the training steps.

I was only a kid, so I don't remember details. I know it was a royalty that fluctuated because the amount was random. I also remember being told that it was only enough to buy a "nice" birthday present. So I'd guess $80 a year in the late 80s? I could be way off though.
Well done. At first glance the UI looks well organized. Will give a test drive. Thanks for putting your work out there!

I find currency charts confusing.
For instance see https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/EURUSD=X/

What does it mean that
EUR/USD (EURUSD=X)
1.0523

Does it mean that if I exchange one Euro
to dollars I get 1.0523 Dollars?
OR does it mean if I exchange one Dollar
to Euros I get 1.0523 Euros?

How would I know which one it is?
Is there some official convention for this?

Does EUR/USD mean something like
"Euro divided by Dollar" ?

And what does "EURUSD=X" mean?
IMO this whole thread hinges on how one chooses to define an 'API.' You can certainly make it true if you define it broadly enough.

0. Drag-and-drop / visual programming tools as APIs

1. Libraries/frameworks as APIs

2. Standard libraries / built-in abstractions of a programming language as APIs

3. Programming languages themselves as APIs

4. IDEs/editors as human-machine APIs

etc.
World's Greatest Con
Two does work with young engineers actively, one does his own stuff(board design and such), all in all, they are fine just like the rest, the key is that, they know what they are doing for sure and they don't mind their own age(to be the oldest in the room), which also says that they're mentally young.

In context, it clearly means "I will sell this to you for a dollar". That's an offer.

A quote is just a price. Like if you send a meat wholesaler a telegram asking what the price of pork is, and they send back "this kind of pork is $xxx, that kind of pork is $yyy", then that's a quote; it's not an offer. You can't accept a quote in contract law.

The difference can be fairly fine. You can even explicitly say that what you're writing is a quote and still end up having a court interpret it as an offer.

Compare these two:

Yes, cities can always outbid farmers if their water were for sale, but often it isn't. Water rights are complicated.

Also, farmers are already not getting any state water. Guess who has to cut back next?

From a disaster planning standpoint, having a water source that doesn't depend on rain or snowfall is important for reducing risk. Cities can afford this and it's worth doing because they don't have the option of not planting in a dry year.

(Also, if you care about housing, the lack of water is sometimes used to oppose new projects.)

I've been using macs for dev for last 12 years at least. It's mandatory if you need to support iOS or safari users due to aforementioned vertical integration. Because building iOS apps requires an iOS device, and MacOS device and you still have to pay Apple a yearly fee.

What we need is a converter from Autotools to cmake, or some other system and then take Autotools to a farm upstate for retirement
> I'm curious what the hurdles are here for packaging something like this.

No hurdle, it's just that Docker is not part of the standard toolkit of ML people.
ML people all use conda (or virtualenv etc.) which already solves most of the dependency problems, making learning Docker not especially appealing.

But virtually all training/inference platform (including the ones used by OpenAI) are using docker. It's not a technical limitation.
I dunno, it seems kind of... Smudged? Totally subjective, of course, but it just doesn't seem that interesting.

I’m charactering it that way, although it’s less blatant. Ask any amazon director and they’ll go in and on about hiring being next to impossible in the US. Entire legions of Amazon are either entirely in India or H1B or OPT Indian nationals. It’s no secret their visa situation keeps their hands tied.

Non-renewables are going to be around for a very long time, as the sun and wind can't be turned up based on demand - but kind-of nice to see them relegated to surge duty, rather than the core of energy production.
Thank you. I think this gets me in the right direction. "heirloom seeds" seems to be what I am looking for. Some online testify that they find heirlooms taste better. I'll have to do some more research and try them myself to see if its true.

Even that can be confusing. United states could also refer to Mexico, which has the actual name "United Mexican States". Someone from Mexico can rightly call themselves from united states.

But than the logical conclusion is there are no disorders only a failure to accommodate?

The STe came pretty close with DMA stereo audio playback, though only at 4 sample rates so software resampling and mixing was still required. I did a lot of my own tracking on an 8Mhz 1040STe then later a 16Mhz MegaSTe.

At 16mhz I could do 25Khz playback with full software mixing, or with the 50Khz playback mode the playback routine would "cheat" by just alternating the samples for the two channels per speaker which used less CPU but produced a high frequency squeal that was easily filtered by turning down the treble on your stereo :)
Nick Clark was outgoing, funny, high energy, and definitely a big personality. If you gave him any sort of praise, he was friendly and made you feel like you were part of the cycling family. He hosted little BBQs after every ride and spoke of all things European in an Aussie accent, and sold fancy bike brands most beginners hadn’t heard of before. He surrounded himself with adoring women from the PBFC team, local law enforcement and first responder types, and there was a full time personal trainer who was a legitimate retired army officer, so it disarmed any misgivings you might have. He could ride a bike reasonably fast. It just felt genuine even when it wasn’t. It was all my design. He created a little world where he was King, King of the Mountain, and King of local cycling in his mind anyway. Although, it wasn’t like he was that central to the DC biking scene.
> it was a personalized quote.

"personalized quote" implies that the owner here took the time to look into the prospective buyer, and determine an amount that was based on that buyer.

It is not in any way, shape, or form reasonable to assume that the seller looked into Jump, determined that they have spent hundreds of millions of dollars on something called "Wormhole Network", and that 50k was what they would reasonable pay for "wormhole.com".

Trying to phrase this as a "personalized" quote is misleading.

I was diagnosed at 8 years old. Was on Adderall for 10 years. Went off of it as I entered my 20s. Started it again at 31 after doing a rediagnosis, and I've been on it for a year. I now regret not starting it up again in my 20s. I don't think it affects (or would have affected) my personality, but it would have positively influenced my life. In the last year, I've been able to overcome a lot of stuff to get my life "back on track," and I'm finally in a place where I feel happy and productive again.
Wokeness explicitly applies and relies an ideology of Marx's Conflict Theory, a paradigm that divides the world into oppressors and the oppressed and focuses on framing individuals as members of a group to label them as such.

The woke are incapable of making important distinctions and treating people as individuals outside of such groups. Distinction is the basis of rationality. Equality requires that, and demands that individuals supercede groups in the application of law and opportunity.

That's why wokeness does not focus on individual equality, but group equity, putting the collective ahead of the individual and exiling individuals when they stand for themselves and not a given group. Democracy as Aristotle explained, is the majority ruling over the minority. In other words, mob rule. Democracy is only good when it is not ruling and making decisions that serve everyone, and not just the majority, equally. This he called a polity.

"The right kind of democracy, if you will, is a polity: An ideal democracy that governs for the interests of all, not just the leadership."

I dearly regret that I adopted autotools for some of my projects. As TFA identifies, the primary problem autotools solved is no longer a problem: Linux, BSD, Darwin, and Cygwin are the targets today and they're more-or-less portable and compliant. Meanwhile, autotools is a constant tax on the development cycle.

1. autoconf is awful to learn.

2. autoconf can be useful in determining the platform, dealing with a few quirks, and ensuring that system dependencies/libraries are satisfied.

3. autoconf's usefulness here is completely undermined by automake, as changing Makefile.am requires rerunning autoreconf, which then requires rerunning configure. So, developers must constantly rerun the configure script, even though nothing about their system environment has materially changed. For example, this happens when a new source file is created and added to Makefile.am.

4. Perhaps the most egregious missing weakness from TFA is acknowledgement that configure scripts are horrifically slow. It's 2022 and developers have their time wasted by configure checking whether printf() exists.

5. automake documentation discourages developers from globbing source files in source directories, and insists they list them individually. It's silly and just results in needless running of configure.

6. The complex interdependencies between generated files is nigh-impossible to understand and reason about. It's cruft.

7. libtool is completely braindead, the absolute worst of it all. It serves absolutely no purpose on contemporary systems, but the docs continue to admonish developers that they must use it to stand a chance of creating a shared library (no, just learn to specify -fPIC). Instead of analyzing a project once, as part of autoconf, libtool determines what to do on the fly for every source file--and all in bash. It doubles a project's compilation time.

8. Creating alternatives to libtool with new autoconf macros, deprecating libtool, and cleansing all traces of it from the planet should absolutely be the highest priority of the autotools project.
Heh. I must have missed the introduction of the multiple pages feature. I used to hand-write math homework in Inkscape with a Wacom tablet. I found it unusually effective, but the single page limit always made longer problems a bit unwieldy.

(Note: I could never get my head around doing problem sets directly in LaTeX, although I did mostly OK using it for proofs in my analysis classes.)

I have a lot of respect and admiration for many programmers (I'm not one), but I'm genuinely troubled hearing some of the stories of people in this thread grinding jobs to a Nx times payout and a miserable endgame. Let me be clear I don't think this is true of most programmers. But it seems part of the software industry is following the history of the financial industry (and of course those two are intertwined going back decades) and I don't think this bodes well for society overall.
Beyond the pedantic distinction, is there any real point to not calling "at-least-once delivery with idempotent processing" exactly-once processing? I can't imagine that any external observers would be able to tell.

The problem with those things is that they fluctuate based on other factors than inflation. So if you want to hedge against inflation without risk, you don’t want to buy fuel and stuff.

Savings accounts haven’t kept up with inflation for as long as I remember. So anyone with cash has plugged it into stuff other than mma. I think that’s why these Ibonds are so popular now.

Yes there is an official convention [1]. EUR/USD = X means you pay X USD (the quote currency, listed second) for one unit of EUR (the base currency, listed first). These are usually always the same way for the same pair of currencies (EURUSD is almost always USD as the quote currency, USDCHF is almost always Swiss franc as the quote currency)

That's an interesting point about the random sequence selected what's the chance it matches an alien civilization constant. I didn't think about that way. I guess I thought about it more from your other example point of view, where say an alien civilization pretends to be a human and gives you a number that they say is random (just like the guy giving you his bank account number) but actually the alien civilization gave you a physical constant.

It's interesting that there's a difference but it's sort of like the difference between you picking a random sequence from a random source and the probability of that being actually random versus you being given a supposedly random sequence by somebody and the probability of that being actually random. I think.
Nice research. Thank you for sharing it!

This isn't really a creativity test. I'd love to see their baseline and how they show this stacking up against other creativity tests.

I've taken real creativity tests before (the ones that movie studios give for entrance to their internship programs). They are hard to grade but I think far more accurate. They have questions like:

- Name as many uses for a brick as possible in 10 minutes.

- You've been told that a scene calls for a visual of water flowing uphill. How do you accomplish this?
Judging by the other comments, it is creative to break the rules.

National Geographic has really gone to crap.

”One of the largest scientific studies to draw attention to this issue was published in the December 2004 issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.”

And what did that paper conclude?

“Conclusion: We suggest that any real declines are generally most easily explained by changes in cultivated varieties between 1950 and 1999, in which there may be trade-offs between yield and nutrient content.”

Nothing about “loss of mother earth’s soil nutrients”. But that wouldn’t sell ads would it?
On the flipside, at least it ultimately resulted in laying the background that politically enabled private ownership of gold again. I'd rather be able to trade away my pieces of paper for gold than play a rigged game where I buy pieces of paper that 'represent' gold I can't own.
Two things I liked from this:

> The hardest part of coding is not technical or even getting the job, it’s liking the job. If you do not enjoy the often stressful and thankless role of staring at the computer and doing frustrating logic puzzles, usually alone, eventually you will burn out and wonder why you ever got into the industry.

I even enjoy coding sometimes, damn it does it get demoralizing sometimes

> Important point here: Learning things by yourself is actually much of the job.

This is what separates people that can make it and people who can't. Like when people are asking questions, how do I learn to code or whatever. I think you have already lost.

Do people find this topic of getting into tech in abnormal ways interesting? Maybe ill share mine one day. I was kind of amused by the idea that I failed out of my engineering program, I got a D in my only comp sci class and now Im a sr engineer at a popular tech company lol.
> If you're holding a yard sale, and I point at some knickknack and ask "how much for that?", and you say "it's a dollar" and I say "that's a deal", that's a contract.

If you move forward and actually execute on it, sure.

If you then immediately say "actually, no, I've changed my mind", without making any motions to give the item over, it's hard to imagine that'd be considered breach of contract.
My buddy got a computer science degree from a top 10 school and works at a FAANG and his experience of the GTech program has been that it is _a lot_ of work. Feels to me like it might be overkill, and perhaps too much, for someone without as much of a CS background.

It conveys a false sense of correctness. Usually the system doing the processing has to use higher level or external methods of providing idempotency.

For example TCP implements "exactly once processing" by your definition but you probably still want Stripe to include idempotency keys in their charge API so you don't pay twice.
Not the GP, but times I find it helpful:

1. When high levels of energy or reaction are required e.g. sports and games where reaction speed and/or impulsivity is advantageous. I have been told on multiple occasions when I have been in emergency situations with others, that I do not tend to "Freeze up" like many others do.

2. High stress environments -- When it gets down to "Fire and Brimstone" time, I can develop a "hyperfocus" in which I can focus for an exceptionally and unhealthy long amount of time. However, too much of this without recharging, and I burnout. In fact, I think there is a joke that ADHD medical school students all become ER doctors.

3. Environments where divergent and abstract thinking is beneficial over convergent thinking. I often think I can come up with good ideas, but I personally find my mind falling short of being able implement them.

4. Social situations. I know this somewhat ironic, since we tend to have trouble listening and pay attention to conversations, but I seriously have done extremely well in any role dealing with customer service, talking to unfamiliar people, etc.. I imagine a part of this is possible due to my personality, but I have heard anecdotes from other people with ADHD having similar experiences.
While that certainly plays a part, I think it's also the fact that in several colleges you work as a group in the face of adversity. At least it was in my case.

We formed a group of very close friends who all worked together "against the system" to get the best grades possible while somehow staying sane[1]. Long days and nights working together, or just shooting the shit _at college_ because we were bound to stay there working.

I'm 100% sure that in my personal case, I would not share the bond I do with my friends (even if they were other friends) if I had not met them under these circumstances.

[1] I have been extremely lucky to have belonged to a group of "top of the class students" who worked together, shared notes, assignments and helped each other, instead of competing and throwing each other under the bus -- I know of other people who did not have the same luck.
