Running novelgens.com basically gives me that job title. I occasionally build new features, but really all I do all day is review generated text/images and flag the good ones as "ready to release". :)
I don't know too much about it, but a few of my friends who have a normal one and on reddit I saw starlink doesn't work beyond country boundaries... that is a real no-no in the EU as for instance popping from Spain to pt or pt to Spain to France or Belgium to France or NL would be things I do a lot. Does the RV version fix that? I have mobile subs that work well throughout the EU: I would buy starlink if it works smoothly throughout the EU. The boundaries are artificial and at the cost for this thing, I cannot see how it is a good deal unless I am somewhere (in the same country?) where there is no mobile signal.
Hopefully soon they will make Starlink as a hat.
It is a long time since I learned, so I dont have specific book, but dont underestimate exercises. Whatever math topic you are learning, look for one of those books with only exercises in them and solutions in the end.

All jokes aside, I wonder how denialists will react to this. And I'm curious how China will attempt to explain this away.

Can't wait for more detailed reports to come out. BBC's report [1] has been particularly interesting so far.

I wonder what happens next.

> It will be AI generated shopping channel dynamically generating products for you to buy on subscription. This one of the solutions to the Drake equation

This is rather probable business model for non General-AI targeted at the end consumer, incidentally it too reads like an AI response: specifically the part about the Drake equation and reminds me of Carbon Based Lifeforms - MOS 6581, whose lyrics also sound like an AI repeating a story about horses and Mongols like OPs [0]. And the start of album is a track called Abiogenesis that has a repetition of the Drake Equation in it, no less.

Putting all that together as a person that is actually studying AI/ML, I found it all rather freaky. Obviously, I know AI in it's current form is rather limited in it's capacity and scope but it makes for interesting lore none the less. Especially if it ever lives up to it's marketing hype. I'll be saving this post to look back at as I progress in my studies over the years.

Loom Performance: Performance of User-Mode Threads and Coroutines
You could write a paper about it, people are looking into this. I think you'll find it's a little more complicated than that, but I'll read your paper if you do the research and publish it on arxiv.
You could try programming katas or very simple leet code problems. After completing 10 or 15 of them in your favorite language, try again. It should go faster and the quality of your code should improve a bit (unless you are already at a fairly high level). You can then move to a language you know less well or to one you would like to learn.

Sadly, at least for me, even relatively routine programming tasks take more time than drills like shadowboxing or speed bag work, so finding a close equivalent is hard.
Yeah, it's pretty amazing how mediocre Docker (and many other container implementations) can be outside of Linux after one is used to how good it is on Linux. Even though virtualization has improved greatly, it still has a significant overhead.

I really like Arthur Benjamin's work on mental mathematics. I'm not savant-level, doing division in the thousands or huge floating points in my head yet but I sure am a lot sharper than I was coming out of high school from studying his work, and I guarantee you will just have fun with expanding your capability to think about numbers. [1]

I got a copy of this book from the 1920s which is really cool because it teaches you math lessons you have to actually go out and physically do stuff with like pegs and strings in a field, from the perspective of the history of mathematics where people were limited to such devices in order to do stuff like trigonometry. Very very different approach, probably not for everyone, but for me I just think it's pretty cool. It definitely was written in the 1920s though so you better get used to that particular writing style if you plan on digesting it like a course. It's designed that way, though, and it's got great reviews. Just keep in mind maybe some of the history is subject to have changed over the years. [2]

Ultimately I've self-taught myself a lot more than I ever learned in school for sure but a wide variety of sources is probably more what you're after in terms of getting a grip on what's interesting enough to pursue further for your own means and ends. I think exploring what fascinates you the most and then just going and finding things from that point is a pretty good start as long as you've got elementary understandings up to a point where the fascination actually happens.

We do have historical weather data, so there should be no reason to guess if a certain amount of storage is sufficient.

I would be far more positive on renewables plus storage if people could point to studies that given this grid, storage, energy production and weather data that would have happened during that time period in that area.
3 minutes into James Hamilton's video at the end there's a picture of the Multi-Chip-Module, sporting two medium sized PCIe chiplets at the "bottom" and two narrow-bar DDR5-ram chiplets left and right of the core.

Yes, it just means tokens were removed from circulation. Doesn't mean someone has redeemed them. It might have been action by Tether itself also.

That is before they printed tokens without backing, used them to prop up market prices. And now they are pulling those out after likely making some gains when prices were high.

> There were reports of Tesla logging repairs as "goodwill" repairs and replacements, when they should have really been done under warranty

I call BS, got any source for that? Tesla has cash reserves for warranties (as most companies do), it would be stupid financially not to use them, and waste "real" money instead.

Don’t let all the shenanigans at the top stop you from doing good. It’s clear that the American system of tax preference for philanthropy is easy to abuse, but while it’s there you might as well use it to help people if you can afford to.

If your company matches donations, take them up on that. That means for $1 pre-tax (~$0.60 out of your pocket) you can give $2.00 to an organization that could use the money. That’s almost 3.5x force multiplication.

Also I promise it will feel good, and if you choose a local organization that doesn’t have mega donors (not that the big ones are all bad) they will truly notice your help.

A little more information on this:

* There's no waitlist for Starlink for RVs service (jump the line)

* Costs as much as Residential + Portability add-on ($135/mo)

* After the first month, you can suspend/restore service at will (unclear if it's prorated or if you pay for a full month when you need any service; I'm betting the latter)

* You're always in deprioritized mode (in congested areas during peak time, your service is degraded compared to Residential customers)

I'm leaving next month for 3-4 months cross-country and then returning to a place with decent Comcast (a rental where I have no choice but to pay for Comcast), so this is perfect for me. I'll suspend service when I get home, and maybe pay for it if I do any short winter trips.

This is just nonsense.

Bush meat is a racist term concocted by European researchers.

"Bush meat" is simply meat obtained by trapping or hunting, as opposed to farming.

When Europeans or Americans hunt boar, ducks, wild pigs, dear etc is it called "bush meat"?

And if he may have consumed bush meat, was the bush meat raw or cooked?

Did he handle the raw meat himself?

Was there an outbreak among the guests at the wedding?

Are weddings the only place bush meat is available in Nigeria?

The kind of idiotic speculation Europeans engage in when it comes to Africa is totally of the chain.

They make all kinds of outlandish claims knowing that they don't have to justify them because in Africa anything goes.

The guy caught monkey pox period. No need to add any outlandish speculations to it.

This exodus doesn't really prove anything about the composition of the assets, same way the money coming onto the books originally proved nothing.

Tether admits that most of their assets are made up of commercial paper (aka bonds issued by companies). Suppose the minted USDT was given to the companies issuing those bonds themselves, then to reverse this, you don't need USD. You can simply cancel the debt and burn the USDT without a single dollar changing hands in the entire process. But dollars do change hands -- as payment for Tether's service of continuing to keep USDT going so those corporates can exit cryptocurrency at some point, in the form of interest on the commercial paper.

If a major counterpart was Binance, for instance, Binance could offer no cash upfront, issue a bond for a billion dollars to Tether, accept USDT1bn in exchange, use USDT to buy bitcoin, sell the bitcoin as USDT1bn + profit (and convert that profit to e.g. USD), and hand back the USDT1bn + interest, & cancel the bond. That's essentially the running theory of Tether's operation. Money flows overall from whoever bought Binance's cryptocurrency, to Binance, and to Tether. And Tether maintains very little cash whatsoever, as there is no need unless everyone wants to redeem at once. And in this situation their plan is just to throw up their hands and say "we prioritise our customers" which is basically Binance and whoever their actual customers are, i.e. the issuers of commercial paper, not you.

One can have a morally consistent world view that holds that voluntarily submitting oneself to the state's tax obligations to be a moral good, comparable to donating to the state, while relying on the state's apparatus of violence (the courts, police and prisons which compel compliance with state edicts) to tax the private income of people at large is an evil.

NotOscarWilde, I'd appreciate if you removed info regarding other people. The article was supposed about me, my feelings and the process of handling a personal crisis. My intention was that people read this post in a self-contained way, without relation to any other people (whose names I didn't mention on purpose), and I feel like most people here did. Maybe I could have expected folks spending time googling this type of unnecessary background information, it still got me by surprise. I'd really, really appreciate if you edited your comment insofar as a matter of respect to these other people.
> if the price is still $1 but the circulation has gone down by 10 billion, that means $10B worth of it has been cached out

Tether being caught lying is practically perennial. Unless we have records showing someone receiving $10bn from Tether, it's safe to be sceptical of the claim.

Note there no mention of redemptions, just a reduction in the circulating supply.

My guess is the USDT was borrowed and Tether is holding less commercial paper now.

At first sight, in the examples:
inc1(7) pure, inc2(8) impure, what's the meaning of inc2? (some kind of increment?)
Then in the definion of map there is an argument function f, and in the definition there is a new function g that comes from nowhere, so for me at first sight the examples are not insightful.
Could you explain his controversy (I wasn't able to find anything on a quick Google search)?
It could be those, but nobody outside knows whether any Tether was actually redeemed though. They are alleged to have insider connections with a bunch of different parties so they could just have burned Tether that had been created from nothing and lent out to an insider.
Far from me to defend Musk but assholes have a place in society -- they just need to be monitored.

Whatever the means he has used, he kickstarted (in the minds of consumers) at least three industries.

Would I willingly give him money? No. Unless I had an RV :)
The big deal is that it's highly likely that Tether is backed up by way less than 83 billion in actual dollars. Let's say, for argument's sake, that they were 50% backed a week ago and had $40B in actual dollars.

If $10B was pulled out, that was into actual US dollars or equivalent, meaning they now have $70B backed up by $30B. If another $10B drains in the next week, it'll be $60B vs $20B. This incentivizes other holders of Tether to also pull out so they're not left holding the bag (= Tether's stash of dodgy loans etc), basically kicking off a slow-motion version of the same death spiral that we saw for UST/LUNA, until Tether runs out of assets and the whole crypto economy goes poof.

Man, that makes me happy I have chosen Linux as my OS and stayed with it.

I couldn't live without Docker anymore. It is just so convenient and logical.

Juggling a mix of environments on my host seems insane to me.

And without Docker, how do you deal with security? How do you work on a project without isolation? Do you trust every project and every piece of code so much that you let it run on your host?
if tether is backed 1:1 with dollars, how is it not withdrawals?

I.e. either the number of total coins in circulation has dropped (unsure how that is different than withdrawing) or its valuation has dropped (i.e. it lost its peg).

If they are just destroying coins, then they weren't 1:1 (possibly more than 1:1 before, but also possibly less).
No, the "realistic alternative" is not continued use of fossil use, certainly not forever. It's just a lie people like you keep telling to somehow make nuclear power appear less dangerous by comparison.

And it's not "a major nuclear accident". Talk about multiple major and minor accidents on top of having a baseline of huge supporting infrastructure dealing with the procurement of radioactive base materials and the spent fuel and other waste. Because to replace fossil fuel and "solve" the climate crisis, you need to scale up nuclear power and its risks. Nuclear plants and their supply chains need to sprout up everywhere, including and especially where there is no trustworthy regulatory environment or where that is likely to disappear. And then we aren't just talking about accident but about potential mal intent which is impossible to calculate. Because once you build a power plant somewhere, you also can't just take it away.

Bi-abduction to infer pre/post conditions automatically
There seems to be an assumption here that the enemy will always have a platform-centric approach to war. What if both sides have an anti-platform-centric approach? Do they shoot at each others portable MANPAD's? A hybrid approach seems necessary, tanks and ships and planes have specific uses when the opponent is not platform-centric and Stinger's and Javelin's and Neptune's can be used against platforms. Something not mentioned in the article is that unmanned platforms are likely to take over. Why put a person inside any of these craft when they can be remotely controlled? Autonomous weapons (killer robots) don't seem likely to be able to distinguish combatants from non-combatants for some time to come, so remote control seems more likely. Also, tanks, planes and ships can't do a lot to win battles in urban terrain. At best they can obliterate infrastructure. Still, it is obvious that smart weapons are making a big difference in Ukraine. You would think that the major powers that invented smart weapons and have stockpiled them would not have been surprised when they turn out to make a difference.

I think the major surprise here is the sudden increased perception that a war between peer powers is not a thing of the past. I would guess that all the major powers are not ready today to fight each other in earnest for more than months or half a year in a non-nuclear war. China and Russia would not be able to get critical parts, and the USA would have to ramp up new manufacturing capability very quickly (it imports ingredients for high explosives from China?) Note that this would be extremely expensive for all countries, it would turn a large part of useful and beneficial production capacity into building an unproductive war economy. Citizens everywhere would suffer, even if none of the new weapons were ever used.
Not sure what the bizarre incel rant near the end added to the point the author is trying to make lol.
Most likely the commercial paper was issued by crypto companies who all simultaneously seem to be incorporated in Hong Kong and the biggest borrowers of USDT.
