I apologize for my impatience. The original description really could plausibly be read to suggest he did not even check for bad input, and just assumed input was OK, maybe with assertions that would run in debug builds. It is true that not even coding sanity checks is less work than arranging to abort or throw, and marginally faster.

Producing faulty output is a more likely response to unchecked faulty input than crashing. It would have been better for the author to mention that, if true.
This is a problem for QUbes OS which has a legitimate need for vgpu on a desktop operating system.

It's because of this arbitrary restriction that Qubes is not able to provide GPU acceleration, which is a huge barrier to its adoption.

The little fact that Microsoft then has the possibility to read random interactions that have been flagged by its own blackbox should really induce doubt here.

Did he persecute people like Pinochet did? Calling him a dictator is like having someone saying that misgendering them caused them PTSD: it is putting war induced trauma in the same bag as whatever misgendering is.
Your idea was basically to short tether at high leverage and wait. But margin trading with high leverage isn't free. You are essentially borrowing the money at a very high interest rate.

For example, at Kraken the margin cost is currently typically 0.02% per 4 hours. This is not something you want to maintain while waiting for an event that could take years to materialize. And that's for modest leverage (up to 5x), I imagine it's even more expensive for the 100x leverage you were looking for.

The religious (for a lack of better word as it is a religion to believe that cryptocurrencies are inherently better than other assets (outside NFTs) but they do believe that if you read twitter/reddit) people are hodling but all the 'saner' people I know went out in december. There was enough writing on the wall to know that 2022 would not be a good year for some assets (and it's just beginning). Only the real believers are still holding and it's a drama; a friend of mine went 'all in' on Terra and is staunchly 'hodling' because he believes it's the greatest project in finance since humans invented currencies. He has 30+ years work of money in it which is his families money (his brothers and parents gave him their savings to 'invest') etc. But he is not depressed; he firmly believes it is coming back as it's decentralized. There are many of him. MANY.

I mean there are also other stories; an acquaintance (he invested in my business with cash in 2018) got out end 2017 with around 60m$ in cash; he was a waiter making minimum wage who borrowed 50k$ from his family who remortgaged their house (not rich people but at least house owners) in 2014 and gambled his families future and accidentally (he was a real believer, but the 'business scams' around blockchain made him a non-believer) gambled right. It's a weird casino.

Maybe it is my circle (but I read it on reddit all the time the past 10 years though) but the financially illiterate seem far more likely to 'invest' with borrowed money, do not diversify and put 'everything on red'/all-in kind of thing and then don't know what to do when that goes wrong (lie to their spouses and kids about it). An senior sales guy of my (then) company invested ALL his money and borrowed more (totaling many millions) in a Dutch web stock (worldonline) and lost everything; his wife, son, house, cars; basically life.
The main risk is your riskless strategy is that when the whole system blows up, everything you have on your exchange disappears too.
It's actually much better for tether to be invested in CP and similar paper. You can't leave $80bn in the bank, cos then you have gigantic concentrated credit risk to the bank. It's actually imperative you invest in CP, and preferably, government bills, to diversify your risk.
I wonder what Tesla executives think of the $1b in Bitcoin they own.

Would their risk committee have pushed them to sell it all if USDT behaves like this?
>to create an essentially perfect terminal/console

Because they thought terminals are outdated and no one cares about them or/and it isn't a flashy enough addition for marketing.
The STEM pipeline is pretty depressing
That's not really how it works either. If the 24hr USDT volume is $175B, that just means people are trading the same USDT for other things multiple times in a 24 hour period. That's it. But two people cannot use the same Tether to buy different things at the same time, so market inflation due to USDT can never really be beyond its market cap.

Tether is a vehicle, not the money in the system. People use Tether because it can be traded against your favorite coin on your favorite exchange. For example Binance (the largest crypto exchange) doesn't offer any USD pairs, so if you are someone with a lot of dollars you buy some USDT with your USD at 1-to-1, then you go trade that USDT for whatever you want.

USDT causes a crash in crypto based on two properties: actual fraud / funny money shenanigans and market sentiment. I was only really addressing the former in my analysis, because "market sentiment" is basically impossible to do anything useful with in a future-telling sense.
The static site doesn’t cost anything. If it talks to a Postgres database hosted on Render, then you’ll pay for that PG db, but not for the static site itself.

As an example, I am currently hosting four sites on Render.

Two are Rails sites with databases, Redis, BG workers, etc. I pay a decent amount for those, albeit quite a bit less than Heroku.

Meanwhile, two others are static sites generated with Jekyll(?) that are pure content and require no DB. I add new content locally, push to GitHub, and deploy to Render automatically through a GH action. I pay $0/month for these two sites.

Not really. Calendar and email are 2 separate tools that can be bundled together (Gmail) or unbundled (Superhuman for email, maybe Reclaim for calendar).

IM, email, calendars, to-do lists, PM tools... are all orthogonal tools. Great for managers (who need a cross-sectional view of product, tech, ops, sales, marketing, etc). Not so much for "makers" who mostly work in 1-2 tools.
For me it was the tracking and the advertising. But realising that it’s more likely to get permanently locked out of Gmail than someone hacks my domain also made me switch from Gmail.
I had to use a MacbookPro for 3 years because our IT was too lazy to support Linux. I hated every minute of it. Finally our it caved and we transitioned our dev team to Ubuntu on ThinkPads. Ubuntu is much more user user friendly than MacOS.

The thing is that Hetzner is unfortunately still missing some of the low hanging fruit cloud services.

I'm building a product that intends to bridge that gap[0] -- but I think it should be done in a way that works for any provider. There are so many other smaller providers out there with decent prices, but that are completely missing the services.

It's been getting better recently though! Aiven also just raised a bunch of money, so maybe we'll see a decoupling of services from the same to multiple clouds as they expand as well.

HATEOAS is new again?
It does not. Touch screen e-paper displays (like Kindles) are too expensive, consume significantly more power and have a noticeable lag in the response when you try to use them. paperd.ink is more of an output device.
> I learned more at my community college than a pretty decent public research college.

I've heard "I learned more at X than at college" multiple times, it's become a refrain. But public university courses are pretty intellectually intensive, or at least provide good opportunities to be so; I wonder if people who say these implicitly qualify it with "that I valued / that I found was useful to my (intended) career"

Then you'd have to implement a version or hash field on the object and verify it before updating and fail on mis-match and handle the version mis-match error on the client and re-retrieve and update again.

GET: {version: 1, field: [1,2,3]}
PATCH: {version: 1, field: [1,2,3,4]} # succeeds
PATCH: {version: 1, field: [1,2,3,5]} # fails with HTTP 409 response
# Client displays some sort of warning that the update failed, GETs the object again and merges the new state from the server with it's state and can retry the update
GET: {version: 2, field: [1,2,3,4]}
PATCH: {version: 2, field: [1,2,3,4,5]} # succeeds
Reports were that Energize customers were relieved when Lucid folded, because they would then not get a whole new set of compiler bugs to discover every quarter. They had, instead, the bugs they already knew about and had learned to work around.

Lisp Machines anyway raised the standard of quality in CRT monitors. Manufacturing their own monitors has to have contributed substantially to their downfall, but we all benefited in the end. Well, all but them.
Anyone has used this? Opinions?
My guess is that if Tether really break seriously, you will wake up to bankrupt exchanges actually !
Problem is that if an ID system is ever established and becomes ubiquitous, a quick change in legislature can force online services to leverage the ID. Protection of intellectual property, CSAM, a pretext is easily found. Happens faster than you can blink and than the free internet in Europe would quickly die. The best protection against that is to have alternative ID systems or just anonymous usage if no transactions are involved.

And a lot of services would be fine to use a state ID because they can tie their advertising to a real and unique person. To secure against that the smart move is to reject the little convenience here for longtime benefit.
There are enough choices that offer Python's productivity alongside JIT/AOT options, better supported from the community than PyPy.

As for the C, C++, Fortran libraries with Python bindings, any language with FFI can call into them as well.

I would say, Python's adoption while lacking performance is what is now building pressure to avoid specific Python communities to leave Python and migrate into one of those ecosystems in search of a better mix of productivity/performance, without being forced to use two languages.
They do when it’s shared them as a link
The concept of proportionality is not even well-defined for STV (a problem shared by several other aspects of STV). In the example of my parent comment, where two parties are fielding candidates for 5 seats, party X receives 63% of the vote, and party Y receives 37% of the vote, STV will happily assign all 5 seats to party Y. The assignment is completely dependent on factors that weren't specified in the example.

(As a side note, Wikipedia's toy example of "STV in a party system" considers a case where three parties field candidates for 5 seats and receive 48%, 45%, and 7% of the vote, resulting in those parties respectively winning 2, 2, and 1 seats. This is about as bad in terms of proportionality as any other system [Party A has 686% of Party C's votes and 200% of the representation; Party B has merely 643% and 200% of the representation], which isn't a surprise; 5 seats don't allow for proportionality unless you're lucky enough to see a 63-37 split in the electorate. But if party-based proportionality is a concern, the correct answer is fairly obvious - the three parties should receive 2, 2, and 0 seats, with one seat going unfilled. It is interesting to me that no one ever seems to contemplate this as a possibility.)

What's the bullshit about auditors and Lehmans? Lehman's assets ended up being more valuable than expected after it went bust. What killed it was that it ran out of cash because it hadn't provided for the market conditions that cropped up . Discarding the utter nonsense that Goldman's were on about (7 sigma market shift my arse) this was in the class of understandable accidents. The problem is/was that these understandable accidents can't happen to institutions that are systemically important.

Plus the quality of the overall experience. And I understand NVIDIA is even worse re: GPU virtualization.

The end result is that it is unusable in practice. Very difficult and restricted to few CPUs/GPUs and very specific software chain.

Otherwise, it'd be open source, universally available and trivial to use.

The good news is that I understand this support is actually good on the Intel side, and Intel has promised that they will actually release competitive GPUs soon. Should this truly be the case, it will automatically make Intel the go-to for GPU virtualization, and might help motivate NVIDIA/AMD to stop segmenting re: GPU virtualization, ending this shitty situation.
Can someone explain stablecoins to me? Most online explanations talk about how the currencies are "pegged" to various assets/real world currencies/physical objects/algorithms/cryptocurrencies, however they never explain how the pegging is done.

So I'm going to be the german who is going to chime in.

The german system works like this:

The frist 4 years of education you'll got to Grundschule where you learn the basics.

Then you'll get sorted in the 3 different "high school" types.

- Hauptschule

- This type of school is the least academically demanding and has a lot more
hands on classes like woodworking/cooking and the likes.

- This take usualy 5 years to complete.

- Realschule

- This is the middle ground school it offers a bit of both worlds

- this takes 6 years to complete.

- Gymnasium

- This is the more acadamiclly focus type of school, with stuff like AP
classes.

- have to learn a thrid language

- takes 8 or 9 years

But after you complete Hauptschule or Realschule you can go do an apprenticeship or add on some more school years to get the better school diploma.

Appranticeships can be in trades, manufacturing, IT or office jobs.
There is also Duales Studium where you go to collage but also work half time at a company.

As an example take my school journy:
I was sorted into the Hauptschule.

After I completet that school, I added 2 more years school time so i get a Realschul depolma, as a bonus the school I went to also touth me the frist year of electricians apprenticeship.

After that I got a apprianticeship to become a software developer which took me 3 years to complete.

Haven't read all the comments yet but I guess it will be 95% missing the difference between personal/private life discrimination (which is a right, anyone is entitled to decide whoever she/he wants to hang out with), and discrimination at the workplace (which should be actively fought against, and using quotas seems to be the only way for the moment).

I think that Dropbox is right to do so, as soon as it identifies that a given ethnicity is overrepresented and does not reflect its target audience.
For the record Dart has something extremely similar to the Closure compiler built with the same ideas and similar performance AFAIK.

It’s totally fine, impressive even and currently runs the code producing the majority of their revenue via Ads which is all Dart.

But they also recognise (same with Google’s Java teams) that as the platform landscape is changing WASM with garbage collection should be the “next generation” of compile targets for the web for those languages for performance reasons. Both Java and Dart teams already have compilers ready to go once WasmGC is finalised and both of those teams are heavily involved in the standards team driving the broader effort.

I saw some hints at I/O about them building something called “managed languages” into the browser that covered both Dart and Java as well which seems to build on top of that.

I think this has some broader implications for the JS community as a whole for what it’s worth where “compile to JS” is no longer the only game in town in the near future.

As for WebGPU I don’t know enough about the internals to get real deep on the topic but they already have all those problems today but just with WebGL. This too as I understand things is just the “next generation” target for that code.

They (Flutter team) are also rewriting their entire shader pipeline engine from scratch as we speak to take advantage of everything they have learned to date.

In short, I believe them when they say it’s going to be fast and like native.

Edit: I missed your point initially about they could use WASM today. They do that also for parts of the code already (underlying graphics engine is C++ not Dart) but this allows them to move all of the Dart code to WASM now too.
Gotcha, thanks for the answer!
There are different power dynamics at play. First of all EU is not a state, not even a federal state, but an union of the member states.

The main political power in EU resides with the member states.

Most of EU countries are parliamentary democracies where executives are not directly elected.

EU Commission is an executive body for the member states with regard to the competences granted to EU by the member states.

EU Commission is confirmed by EU Parliament and can be also dismissed by EU Parliament in vote of no confidence.

USA is a presidential democracy where a lot of power resides with a single person.

Supreme Court Judge in USA is appointed for life and is supposed to be independent from the rest of the power structures.
You sound like you are making a lot of excuses, but I actually deeply agree with every negative point that you make.

As you are pointing out, the risk of being a founder is just not worth it for you or most people, financially or socially or personally. It rarely makes sense even if you are already wealthy or privileged: even given the advantages you have correctly identified, the expected outcome is failure. Without those advantages the rewards for the risks are even worse. Calculate the median return[1][2][3] implied for the majority of ycombinator founders and it is approximately zero.

Selection bias is a bitch.

It may work for your codebase, but the GIL has deep implications for any multithreaded code. For a long time now we've relied on the GIL for some level of thread safety. I'm afraid removing it would cause quite a few libraries to fail in unexpected ways.
there definitely are some things non-intuitive about high-dimensional objects, in general.

For example, if you peel away the outer 1% of a n-dimensional sphere or cube, you’re left with 0,99^n of its volume. As n goes to infinity, that goes down to zero.

See also the curse of dimensionality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curse_of_dimensionality), or https://www.math.ucdavis.edu/~strohmer/courses/180BigData/18..., which, for example, compares the n-dimensional sphere with radius 1 to n-dimensional hypercubes with side length 1. In two and three dimensions, the cube easily fits in the sphere; in four, it just fits. In higher dimensions, you can’t fit that hypercube in the hyper sphere, even though the diameter of the sphere is twice that of a side of the cube.
