Yeah the contagion is important and it also needs to be several trillion dollars in value.

Given that the Federal Reserve wants unemployment numbers to rise, they're specifically trying to make share capital worth less, and borrowing capabilities cost more, making revenue-poor corporations stop being so optimistic. so I would just expect lower valuations with much lower revenue multiples (or price to equity ratios), for that reason alone.

Slowed growth in China is always a threat because thats a key revenue driver for many large western companies. Then sure, there is the leverage and accountability problem with Chinese real estate, but I don't get the impression that contagion is that big because nobody thinks that is a safe bet and also avoid too much exposure to the domestic chinese lenders involved. The rumors behind Tether just aren't big enough to matter for this, could only be a slight sting to the commercial paper market and a moderate "finally" for the crypto market as a tether implosion would probably increase confidence there after steep selloffs.

Oil/gas volatility is probably going to have some casualties.
For those that want to know more, this is referencing the album 666 by Aphrodite's Child.

Got a copy from Germany sometime between '00 and '03.

Amazing album, especially for someone that had only known him for Blade Runner at the time.

His stuff with Jon Anderson is also fairly good. The Friends of Mr. Cairo is one of my favorites.
This is correct - Through marriage I've met some insanely powerful people who fix our highways/build bridges on the East Coast. These mother fuckers are loaded and they're seriously assholes seeing as I would've never met them by chance and people with money stick together. This is the true answer. There are only a small number of companies who have the logistics/money to actually bid and complete projects like these. It also takes years to do one project, so when there is only a small number of companies who can ever legally / viability afford these jobs this is what we get. Every sector seems to have a big 5. Tech, Finance, Construction, etc;

Realtek RTL8822 WiFi kills cheap soapbox routers, typical for AirBnB and cheap/small hotels. Known problems, no fixes.

I mean, it blocks such routers, not brick them permanently, but result is the same: you and your companion doesn't have internet. At all.
After the record-breaking Mark McGwire home runs years ago, the IRS went after the people who ended up with the balls, arguing that even if they didn't sell them, the balls represented reportable income. Just another thing to think about.

From the article, MDOT is supposed to be doing yearly inspections on all of these bridges, but they clearly skimped on that the last couple of years or they would have closed this one sooner. They are kinda responsive to heavily trafficked ones -- I used to have to take I-96 to M-39 (Southfield Fwy) and the ramp between them had a large hole you could see the next layer down through for a couple weeks before they repaved, and it was only like 6 more months from when that happened that they redid the whole ramp, making my commute unbearable for a month.
All that's known for sure (since it was found and raised a few years ago) is that it was close enough to the explosion for the shockwave to kill the crew, but far enough away to not damage the sub itself.

> With c++, once you get a segfault you never really know if you've actually fixed it or just gotten lucky.

FWIW, while I totally agree with the argument that I would prefer to be able to prove my code doesn't have this kind of bug, this statement goes too far: if you don't know what was wrong with your code before and you merely whacked at it randomly until it stopped crashing your work isn't done... you should know exactly why your code crashed before and know for sure that your new code doesn't exhibit that same issue--as well as think about how to avoid ever making the same mistake again, potentially doing drills with the concept so it becomes a bit more intuitive or adding new compile time lint behaviors--before you move on to your next task (and this is how you should be treating bugs of all forms, not merely segment faults).

Regardless, my issues--as a long-time C++ developer--are that I am pretty firmly addicted to all of the compile time programming benefits of C++ (which sometimes let me pull of safety tricks that are more indicative of a dependently-typed language) that other people have already mentioned... but I am also pretty addicted to unchecked exceptions, and see absolutely no reason why Rust decided to re-tread error handling mistakes I've seen in prior programming languages (awkwardly including Java, which has checked exceptions, and feels more similar in spirit to Rust than C++).

(That said, I do appreciate that the syntax sugar for papering over this has gotten better with time, but I still think the people who don't appreciate that exception-safe code is actually important to write in all situations and if you can't do it your code probably can't be correct even in the case of a language without exceptions are missing something important about the nature of errors.)

Question: Why was the original version in Matlab? I am familiar with Python, R, and others.... I get that those languages until recently might not have been great over the ancient predecessors (LISP, etc) for ML related.

But I've never seen actual production anything in Matlab. Did Matlab provide something at the time others did not? If so, how did they transfer MatLab to running production models? Or did they create a model with basic outcomes - and then code a representation of it in C++, etc?

Jeremy Howard came off as anti-intellectual to me. He is always like "oh math is nothing... you do not need math... math is not needed" and stuff like that.

Other than that, fast.ai is a great resource, and Jeremy Howard is a great instructor.

You will learn very practical tools and tricks, and a lot of recent research is demystified, but don't expect to achieve deep, general insights.

Also, fast.ai is a very very limited and poor library compared to PyTorch, JAX, TF, etc.

Programming, design, and architecture decisions are outright terrible.

I got paid to write fast.ai in one job. I still have nightmares. I never did it again.

But it is a nice learning resource.

From that link I shared -

Resolution 1718 (unanimously adopted by the UN Security Council on October 14, 2006):
- Decides North Korea shall suspend all ballistic missile activities.
- Decides North Korea shall abandon all WMD activities.

Resolution 1718’s Principal Sanctions: - Materials and technologies that could contribute to North Korea’s WMD programs and ballistic missile related activities, as set out in prior Security Council documents.

Member states are also required to: - Freeze the funds or financial assets of entities designated by the Security Council as providing support for North Korea’s nuclear, missile, and other WMD program

>> The UN doesn't really have the authority to tell a country what it can and can't do beyond the treaties it has decided to sign

So there are three things at issue here.

First, you carve out sanctions, well, there are sanctions at play here, as above, and the whole point of the document is to alert corporations that they may fall afoul of those sanctions.

Second, does the UN have 'legal authority' for actions like this? Well, yes, actually. Article 25 of the UN Charter stipulates "The Members of the United Nations agree to accept and carry out the decisions of the Security Council in accordance with the present Charter." Becoming a member nation of the UN requires accepting the Charter. Ergo, the DPRK agreed to be bound by decisions made by the security council when it joined the UN as a member nation. Arguing that this is unfair is like saying states shouldn't be bound by federal laws created since their initial joining of the US; no, joining was agreeing to the decisions of the rule making bodies as well. This differs from, say, the TPNW, which is a treaty that the general assembly adopted, and has had some nations who have signed onto, but which does not actually have legal binding even according to the UN's own charter because of that.

Third, does the UN have -enforcement- authority. This is more a pragmatic, rather than legal, concern. And no, it doesn't. It doesn't have a standing army, it isn't in control of any currency, it has no way to enforce a decision if the largest countries don't choose to enforce it for them via some method of coercion. Which is what is happening here; the US accepted the UNSC's decision, and imposed it, and this document is warning that if you don't adhere to that decision within the US' jurisdiction you will be committing a crime that the US will seek to prosecute you for. Which is the context for which "these programs are prohibited" is for.
Great insight. Unrelated but what is the sortino achieved with your delta neutral strategies? If it possible for a regular joe to get in?
The Russian army also had some chilling tactics. Basically they had more soldiers than guns during the battle of Stalingrad. So they sent them in pairs where one person was supposed to pick up the gun in the (likely) case the other person got shot. To prevent people from refusing orders, they simply shot anyone running the wrong way. Ordering people to march towards (almost) certain death is probably as old as war is.

I believe Windows with Hyper-V (used for WSL 2) actually prioritizes ipv6 over ipv4 even. Not well, mind you, but that's a different story.
If you discount your stock options to be worth 0 (which is the most likely scenario) and it still makes sense to work at the Startup then go for it but save aggressively because while they may tell you there won't be layoffs and they are in a strong financial position when layoffs do come they are almost always last in first out.
Then you might find yourself jobless soon. I'm not saying it's right, but it's a reality many people have had to deal with.
That's why it is extremely frustrating to watch this unfold. The easiest way to kill inflation is to kill growth. But that won't help people in need anyway.

An empty shelf of baby formulas are not a sign of "economy is too hot". It is a sign of supply issue.
I paved highways for 5 years. The people standing around are because there is a surprising amount of manual labor involved. One example that isn’t obvious is raking. Sometimes rocks slip through the cracks at the hot plant and the paver leaves big rocks in the hot mix. There need to be at least one guy just standing around looking at the asphalt to get the rocks out and throw in replacement hot mix between the first and second rollers.

Asphalt is mostly crushed rock, and you need different sizes of rock from fines to bean size. Part of the QA process is checking that the rock mix is composed of the right ratios and have enough faces to meet the spec. This is done with random samples from the asphalt as it’s laid down. They also check the temp, if it’s too cool it won’t work. So they mostly stand around. On the other side of the paving train is another QA where they use a radioactive density meter to check the asphalt after the rollers hit it, and they also take core samples along the joint to confirm the rollers are doing right.

Then there is a guy from DOT supervising. The State owns the roads, he’s there making sure no one is cutting corners and to coordinate the train with the supervisor of the crew.

Add in a couple more hands to rake/shovel (think guardrails etc) and it LOOKS like 5 guys working and 10 standing around but it’s 15 people taking turns in a continuously moving operation, often in live traffic
They likely have changed the process to better optimize for the bigger size. This might mean the layout of individual transistor structures may have to be different due to chemistry (different chemical processes may be used to accommodate the requirement of even distribution over larger area), or things like different number or order of various doping and metalization layers, etc. Most designs are packed to maximize efficiency, so even if a small part of the chip needs to be modified, it can require cascading redesign.
Scanning a /64 or even a /56 (which you ought to get from your provider) is infeasible.

Nevertheless, you have the exact same problem already today with ipv4. Just with a NAT inbetween, which is usually replaced with a firewall for ipv6. Also, when a specific device opens up a port via upnp it better does this on purpose.

That collapsing bridge was supposed to be 174 feet long and was going to cost around $13 million. $75k per linear foot. And it was insanely ugly. The replacement bridge has a beautiful design but is expected to cost $15 million - $87k per linear foot!

At the same time as the Miami pedestrian bridge collapse, CDOT (Chicago...) was building this gorgeous 620 foot long pedestrian bridge [1] with a final cost of $26 million. $42k per linear foot. And they didn't interrupt 6 active rail lines or a 6-lane "boulevard" during construction.

So clearly, we can build nice things at reasonable prices. But how do we make it standard, rather than something where we get lucky every once in a while? I have no idea...

KDE still uses QQC2 and Flickable. However, we do workaround Flickable's deficiencies by filtering mouse wheel input on QQC2 ScrollViews and setting the content X/Y values so that it moves more like a view in Qt Widgets. It's not ideal. I hope one day I or someone else will be able to fix Flickable's behavior upstream.
Features that Fastly has that CF does not (or are better on Fastly)

- Compute@Edge is a far better product than CF Workers. I think CF is catching up, but right now Fastly is ahead.

- Video. Fastly's streaming video offering is so much better than CF.

- Large file support (ex: +200gb game downloads), unless it was added recently CF is more limited on file size that can be cached effectively.

- Morals. Fastly has morals, CF is severely lacking. I don't know if this one could be "acquired" though.
I agree if you are talking about frontend. Backend is still pleasant. And even frontend becomes bearable thanks to HTMX.
> a cave environment just like the ones our hominid ancestors preferred to dwell inside

While it's known that some of our ancestors were cave dwellers, it's unclear how common this was, and how much it was a preference (vs., say, a last resort). The problem is that there's a massive selection bias towards finding remains in caves because they're preserved so much better than those that are more exposed to elements.
Gitlab is extremely simple to run yourself. I've been doing it for 2 years at this point. What is really difficult about the operation?
Yes, introduce use taxes that fully pay for such infrastructure. Stop overbuilding everything--no reason to make a 4 lane overpass when 2 is sufficient.
Disclosure I'm building a topical chat site at https://sqwok.im

One thing I've noticed is many conversations will start out on-topic but eventually the active participants will exhaust whatever they have to say and it will pivot to more casual conversation. It isn't necessarily bad, but it creates the problem where new/arriving users see a conversation that appears unconnected from the topic. I recently received a bunch of feedback to that affect.

Another factor that someone else already mentioned is simply that many people like to lurk and don't want to engage in live discussion. Also not a problem if the previous issue is solved.
That's not the most analogous comparison; the most analogous comparison would be "where my rate of salary increase follows the changing interest rate on my mortgage".

It's not that your $100K salary should go to $200K if your mortgage goes from 3% to 6%, but rather that your $100K salary should go to $106K instead of just $103K if your mortgage goes from 3% to 6%.

Similarly, if your mortgage fell from 3% to 2%, you'd be pretty close to even if next year's salary went to $102K and likely in bad shape if it instead went to $67K.

You may want to make it a 'clean cut', but that's not how it comes off as. When I read it (as well as everyone in our Libera channel who commented), it comes off as sounding so terrified of the clown prince that the word 'Freenode' can't even be mentioned, and the huge lacuna looks hilarious (especially the parts about growth).
Buddhism was also used to support the war. Are you going to claim that Buddhism is an ideology that led to war atrocities?

Btw Shinto wasn’t even made into an official religion until the Meiji restoration, really it should be thought of as Kami worship, and depending on the Kami it involves very different things. Buddhism and Shinto were also heavily syncretised until the Meiji restoration. The Buddhist bodhisattvas and Buddhas were even made into kami iirc
It depends entirely on how much cryptocurrencies are being used as collateral for leverage, which was the main factor that amplified the GFC. MBS’s and MBS-based CDO’s were used as collateral for massive amounts of leverage (up to 30:1 for the commercial banks, and 100:1 for Fannie & Freddie). Since the housing market had never crashed, that collateral was considered reliable enough for significant amounts of leverage. Turns out it wasn’t.

But cryptos have never been considered remotely that reliable by the broader financial system. Thus there is probably little to no leverage using cryptos as collateral. Crypto is currently crashing, but it will only take down itself and not 30 to 100 times as much leverage with it.
You're misunderstanding the purpose of an arena allocator: It's only for relatively short-lived objects which are all released at once; there's (typically) no transfer of objects to a new arena. This isn't as uncommon as it might seem – for example, auxilliary data which is created during the execution of an algorithm, and which isn't needed anymore once the algorithm has finished, or per-frame data in a computer game.

Personally I don't know, as I use K-9 Mail from F-Droid.

But from the viewpoint of an advertising company, keeping the option open to insert ads, even if they may not be doing so at this time, is in their best interests.
Even then, hole punching should get significantly easier, as you know the IPs and ports of both parties. Multi-layer NAT with port guessing is usually a nightmare when establishing a direct connection.
