The state sanctions harassment all the time:

* It harasses me about taxes every year as I constantly mess things up...

* It should definitely harass you if you break the law!

These laws in question "harass" (restrict) one population by disabling harassment perpetrated by another population.

For the sex-education ban it "harasses" (restricts) sex education to prevent teachers from "harassing" elementary aged children about sexual identity in schools. An abortion ban "harasses" mothers by restricting them from "harassing" their babies.

We're talking about a culture that values the one group's rights over the others' rights. Who wins depends on the prevailing culture in our system of government but one group will necessarily win at the others' expense.
I have a couple here that I could sell you, assuming the shipping isn't awful (I'm in Canada). I tried to put them on eBay some years ago but got low-balled and jerked around. Haven't tried them lately, not sure of their condition.

One is an original MessagePad in box, the other a late model, I forget, I'd have to go look.
Of course the middle-men want to protect their cash cow: vendor sanctioned servicing of expensive equipment.
Fun blog, but I was left hanging as the author never found the issue with the OS level driver (and instead <spoiler>used a workaround library</spoiler>).

It's easy to just blame the FTDI driver, but FTDI is used all over the place in the arduino community on MacOS, so I would have have assumed it was working.
re: this Gallup poll: we have an expression in the USA that I think covers this: “no shit Sherlock” - that is, the poll results are obvious and predictable.

This is just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt: the Federal Reserve made a very big error in only raising interests rates by 50 basis points. They obviously (to me at least) care much more about keeping interest rates as low as possible rather than fighting inflation. Actually, they did not make an error, they are just purposefully being without heart or compassion.

I planned my finances to be relatively immune to massive inflation, but my experience volunteering at a local food bank and getting to know our “customers” has given me at least a little bit of understanding on how vulnerable many people are. So many people I talked with had had solid middle class lifestyles until sometime unexpected happened like a large medical bill.

I believe in equal opportunity but to not enforce equal outcomes for people. To some degree equal opportunity means not enriching the asset class and hurting average people with run-away inflation.
I don't know if it's that blurry. You described it well in a single sentence.
What would be the purpose of #engineering-utc-9? Normally disussions go around some topic and those who are interested or have a contribution don't necessarily work in the same time zone.

Yor suggestion would only be relevant if a problem needs to solved now or never. Or for a completely useless chitchat channel that people follow only realtime but nobody would ever read and reply to afterwards.
Shouldn't this be expected to a certain extent?

Gibberish has to map _somewhere_ in the models concept space.

Whether is maps onto anything we'd recognise as consistent doesn't mean that the AI wouldn't have some concept of where it relates, as other people have noted, the gibberish breaks down when you move it into another context, but who's to say that Dall-E 2 isn't remaining consistent to some concept it understands that isn't immediately recognisable to us.

The interesting part is if you can trick it to spit out gibberish in targeted areas of that concept space using crafted queries.
>> There is a differentiation between source and destination accounts (called expense and revenue) which makes reverse transactions a pain

> Sure, but that doesn't make it any less of a double-entry bookkeeping system.

Maybe let me formulate it a bit more diplomatic: It is not what I would expect from a double-entry bookkeeping system. Personally I find one account for each person more intuitive. There may be reasons for not doing this but they are not clear to me yet.

> Regarding the process you suggest, each step in your workflow is a massive undertaking to build. And it serves exactly one (1) user for whom the workflow fits: you.

> It's how I started Firefly III: solving my own problem. So I guess you know what to do ;)

I know that implementing this process is not walk in the park. Please don't see it as a request for you to implement that particular feature because I need it. But for me this would solve an issue I had with all of the personal finance tools. Therefor I wrote down my thoughts, maybe they resonate with someone and it results in a fruitful discussion. Or maybe someone had similar thoughts...
Exactly. Most people's problem is not that somebody is "experiencing homelessness" as they say. Most people are bothered by people littering, blocking public right of way, consuming drugs and alcohol, exposing themselves in public, assaulting passersby, stealing and trespassing on the private property etc. We don't care if they have no place to live or are eccentric billionaires who actually have 10 houses each, we are bothered by the antisocial behavior. Prevent this behavior as the law tells you to do and you can keep your seat in the city council and legalize whatever crazy ideas you have. Protect trees, emancipate armadillo, dig a subway, etc - nobody really cares enough to vote you out.
Some stock brokerages literally let you trade with a multiple of the actual cash you have deposited. E.g. you have $10,000 in a brokerage account with Fidelity and you apply for margin and they let you trade with $100,000 that you can then invest as you see fit. You multiply your possible returns but also your possible losses. If your losses become large enough you can get Margin Called and be forced to repay all of your losses at once. So if you lost all the 100K they gave you, you are now on the hook for those losses.
Gasoline also has an indirect impact on inflation, as the cost of transporting goods increases due to fuel cost rising.
Which, to a lessor extent, isn't too terribly different from humans if you think about. We don't use a full new language but every profession has it's own jargon. Some of it spans the whole industry and some is company-specific.
They win, but they are so slow in comparison to the native apps, it is a pity. Android-like sandbox + native apps is the best approach. Too bad Windows store failed. Also, Linux packages (Ubuntu) or even Snaps did not work too well for me when I tried last time
Since you’ve been in the field, and have thought about it a lot more than me: isn’t privacy inversely proportional to the size of group who’s in on the secret? And that’s not even a technology issue.

And therefore demanding E2EE for groupware might seem almost nonsensical, since wide proliferation of access keys makes the whole secret room subject to increasing likelihood of accidental or malicious compromise - ending up more privacy theatre than actual privacy?

e.g. if there are 1000 different individual keys to access a conversation, how private is that conversation really?
I bet it boils down to an intersection of a number of issues.

> The solution seems trivial enough.

Maybe so, but that is the usual trap, isn't it? Us armchair experts can expound to no end from the outside.

> Write down the customer id, date, time and what was pre-approved on a piece of paper. Then when the computer comes back up, enter it into the system.

I imagine that the typical phone-drone has no authority to provide such an authorization, and with the system down they have no avenue to pursue one. No trail through the system, no audits, etc.

> Did the developers think that their system was infallible and would never go down?

Surely not, but the developers knowing their system is fallible is a long way from management acknowledging that reality, and drafting policy to account for outages. Allowing, e.g., for manual pre-auth procedures.

> If so, what was the motivation of the domain experts? [...] Or do they take delight in finding loopholes where they can shirk their contractual obligations?

Or do they get tired of dealing with bureaucratic red tape, scope changes, approval processes, etc. etc. and just ship the product the customer asked for, despite shortcomings in the spec, and call it a day so they can gtfo?
Who are you trusting with your sensitive accounts and data?

That’s terrifying. By far the worst part of this. If they ban somebody for TOS violations that is fair, but preventing people from transferring out their domain and setting it to pendingdelete is really insidious. What they are doing is akin to stealing anyone domain name permanently with no recourse. This may be grounds for a lawsuit.
I'm not sure it's a convincing rebuttal, the examples shown all seem to have some visible commonality.

Eg. "Apoploe vesrreaitais" Could refer to something along the lines of a "fan / wedge" or "wing-like"

If you look at the examples of cheese, when compared to the "birds and cheese" the cheese tends to be laid out in a fan like pattern and shaped in sharp angled wedges.
> But everything that seems like a niche surprisingly has established competition. I could compete with {x}ly.com when they were first starting out but if they have been in business for 10 years it seems like they will have extracted not just the value from their target market but neighboring niche markets as well. Perhaps this isn't true but given the pervasive pessimism it feels like software has already ate the world and picked it clean.

In school, I recall a professor listed out (I think) 3 types of successful business as an example. The first type was something along the lines of "strong in a national market," but the second was "strong in a local market." I feel like the second kind is becoming more and more nonviable (with globalization, advanced communications), which consequently leads to a lot less opportunity for individuals (even though it may be more "efficient" in some cold and abstract economic sense).

there's the story that pre-colonial Hawaiians lived in abundance and basically didn't work for 4 months of the year (see e.g. https://www.hawaii.edu/uhwo/clear/home/HawaiiLaborHistory.ht... ). So that was a system where everyone could stop engaging in productive activity because as a society they agreed that they had "enough" for the year and it would be more fun to have a vacation than to have "more".

Although meteorology is in many ways a much older science, I think you are underselling the difference (and importance of computers here). Better computing power means a more accurate forecast, but typically also a longer forecast horizon. That is critical when preparing for natural disasters and absolutely saves lives all the time.

Even at a 3-day lead time, GFS was still suggesting landfall for hurricane Sandy outside the New York region, the longer lead times provided by other centers (with more computing power) were very important for preparation [1].

Even on the science side, increased computing power enables a host of new discoveries. Even storing the locations for all the droplets in a small cloud would require an excessive amount of memory, let alone doing any processing [2]. Increased computer power enables us to better understand how clouds respond to their environment, which is a key uncertainty in predicting climate change.

Many disciplines of meteorology are also much newer than nuclear physics. Cloud physics (for example) only really got started with the advent of weather radar (so the 1940s). Before that, even simple questions (such as can a cloud without any ice in it produce rain?) were unknown.

Even today, we still have difficulty seeing into the most intense storms. You cannot fly an aircraft in there, and radar has difficulty distinguishing different types of particle (ice, liquid, mushy ice, ice with liquid on the surface, snow) and is not good at coutning the number of particles either.

Even after thousands of years, we are onlyjust now getting the tools to understand it. There is a lot left to discover about the weather!

There’s a clear ethical distinction between not actively helping someone and actively harming them. I don’t have to lend my neighbor my lawnmower, but I definitely shouldn’t shit on his grass
Well, yes, but you're playing the odds. Sure, make the wrong choice and you can lose fast but I'm guessing, statistically, repeated less common letters is the best overall approach over time.

The salaries suck but this is the UK. If you’re in the correct social class to be an academic you should have your own independent means, and use your academic salary as nothing more than rent for the townhouse you’re staying in while away from your country estate. /s

> All these engineers were still heads-down, working their tails off, just as they had been doing since the first few months of the company. Too busy working, most were oblivious to the changes that success and growth had brought to the company.

This gets at the vague steps that the author mentions at the end about supporting transitions of _people_, but I was waiting for them to get concrete about how the engineers should have _positively_ been made aware of the success and growth. Pay raises to market rate? A bonus? I’m guessing that in actuality, it was little more than verbal pats on the back.

I guess it’s different for each company culture, but this makes it sound like the engineers worked hard, the company got solid, things were taken away, and then the superstars started to leave. I’ve seen similar patterns a few times. What are some positive ways that people have seen these patterns fought?
I'm torn on this one, because at some point "first-come, first-served" is not a great thing in the realm of non-fungible domain names. I can't find much information on this subject, but what did Apple do?

Navi 21 launched in November 2020 but it only got official support with ROCm 5.0 in February 2022.

With respect to your issue running 1024 threads per block, if you're running out of VGPRs, you may want to try explicitly specify the max threads per block as 1024 and see if that helps. I recall that at one point the compiler was defaulting to 256 despite the default being documented as 1024.

I am still kicking myself every time I look at AMD’s share price. I sold a not-insignificant-to-me amount of shares when the price was basically below 10 a share. Now it’s above 100. All this is to say that the turn around at AMD is good to see and the missteps at Intel are hilarious.

This is like the time the Athlon64 and it’s on die memory controller was kicking the Pentiums around.
Didn’t they get exactly a “brief sentence explaining why” in:

Personally, I think that’s what makes hard mode interesting, that it creates a sort of meta-game for figuring out a reliable way to avoid these pathological cases.

It likely does mean you’ll have to sacrifice a lower average guess count in favor of avoiding losses.
> You can speak weird english and people still understand what you say

I suppose OP meant "weird non-native English".

Native accents, in my experience, are a different matter. Certain non-American accents (Irish, Scottish come to mind) are just very hard to understand for untrained American ears that have never been exposed to them before.

I think that opportunity has shifted not necessarily faded. Computers, the internet, and smart phones represented a step change in capability - they allowed people to do things that were just not possible before. The last 50 years has been about finding and developing the most productive / profitable uses of those new capabilities.

If you want to find where the opportunities are look at areas where we have recent technological innovations have resulted in large step changes in capability - where new technologies allow us to do things that were not previously possible. Machine learning and biotech (e.g. CRISPR, sequencing, etc) are two such areas.
I wonder about the "unintended consequences" takeaway here. Correlation is not causation. It seems to me that the talented startup engineers leaving and the decision to discontinue free soda don't likely have a causal relationship between them. Just both are things that happened along the growth path from startup to established company. More of a common cause explanation. If they had kept giving free soda would it have really kept the engineers from leaving? I have doubts.
> You won't be able to purchase Comics through the Comixology app either, as of v. 4.0.1.

Did they do that years ago? I used to read comics through Comixology, and when Amazon bought them, and shortly thereafter disabled purchasing comics through the app, was when I stopped buying new comics.
Im not really disagreeing with him, but you can use DBT to materialise 10 daisy chained views, or hit Clickhouse with a query and allow it to crunch data.

I am a proponent of modern data stack but it’s always at the back of my mind that an OLAP database on a big box negates the need for a lot of it.
Communist governments had their own mainframes (for example weird 24 bit Odra systems in Poland). They weren't as modern as in the west but certainly didn't used punch cards in late 80s. Of course "normal" people had no access to them.
I still use Motif Window Manager & X/Motif when writing native linux apps because I miss those big blocky buttons.

Love SomaFM, have their 15 year anniversary channel list poster up in my office.

Been listening since the days of the original 3 channels (Groove Salad / Drone Zone / Secret Agent). I loved so much when cliqhop came out and streamed more abstract electronic music, especially since "electronic music" in streaming was always so heavily either ambient (cool) or club/dance music (ehh).

But I really want to highlight Metal Detector, the metal channel they started a few years ago. I've always found metal streaming stations underwhelming. MD is the first one I've heard that effortlessly cuts broadly across the various subgenres and eras, and doesn't fall into the traps of just playing the arena-filling stuff, or getting locked into one specific niche.
> Next, I looked at commercial KVM over IP solutions. They provide similar functionality to Dell's iDRAC, but they're external devices that connect to a computer's keyboard, video, and mouse ports (hence the name KVM). Sadly, they're even more expensive, ranging in price from $500 to $1000 per unit.

And the site's commercial product is $400, which is also quite expensive.

How is that disinformation? The quote says nothing about Russia, and the oil market is indeed driven by global forces.
Your grandad's grocery store worked that way, but modern retailers are actually pay to play. They are more like a marketplace than you'd think.

Ever wondered why big stores have meters of just Coke and Pepsi, but corner shops have a few each of dozens of brands of drink? it's because only the big brands can afford to buy in. The retailers have market power and they use it to divest cost and risk onto the suppliers.

Without the flow control the data gets scrambled if you go above about 9600 bps.

The system I am working on is meant to extract graphical data from a persistence of vision display that's hard to test under real conditions because it is supposed to be strapped onto a moving vehicle.

If the probability is 1% that a test isn't giving the right results because a bit got flipped on the serial line that is too much. So I want to know the data is clean and not guess about it.
Hope you get it figured out.

This is an example of why it's a good idea to keep your domain registrar separate from as much else as possible. The more services you use from a company, the more surface area there is for your account to get inadvertently flagged, and the bigger impact a suspension will have.
