You figure it out, my siblings and I were always in multiple extracurricular activities. We’d typically eat at like 6-7pm. If something came up we’d move dinner to 5pm or later to 8pm. There’s always someway to make it work. We also tended to have breakfast together so even if we have to miss 1-2 days a week for dinner, we still eat together at least one meal.

In the US extracurricular sports and music tend to be after school 3-7pm range.

There are two main categories of pixel art in games.

In one category it’s about retro authenticity and these games are defined by the fact that their final buffer is the same low resolution as their art. They also often feature limited palettes, especially ones that were actually used on retro consoles.

There’s also a second category of pixel art, where the style is more modern. The art is still low res, but the final screen buffer is high res. This is where you’re more likely to see stuff like smooth rotating sprites and lighting effects.

You may have a preference for one style or the other, but neither style is bad or “wrong”. Most people who use the modern style are doing it on purpose. There are fantastic looking games in both categories.
These streaming platforms are so bad. We had better software in the 90s and 00s. These trillion dollar corporations can't beat literally decades old technology. The only reason these little services even exist in the first place is to satisfy the whims of copyright monopolists. How many more steps backwards must this industry take before they're satisfied?
It's difficult (but not impossible) to find niches where cryptocurrencies are being used as currencies. They are more often described and used by enthusiasts as securities or investments, so it's this aspect that dominates discussion today.

Outside of criminal activity (including "positive" criminal activity like evading the capital controls of authoritarian regimes), there's not much to recommend cryptocurrency as a currency. Bitcoin maximum throughout is several orders of magnitude too small to support meaningful use, and transaction fees on popular chains are punishingly high. I personally like to use payment instruments that can be clawed back in the case of fraud (like credit cards) for large purchases, so I can't really understand the appeal of an irreversible payment instrument for routine use.
Why are you pretty sure about that? All I hear about is the US doing that every day that they can mandate the parties into silence.... so how would you even know.
> came across some stats on how safe it was to donate and it totally changed my picture. I thought, 1/3,000 risk of death in surgery is like sacrificing yourself to save 3,000 people. I want to be the kind of person who'd do that, and you just have to follow these few steps.

What these noble gestures based on statstical thinking invariably omit is the fact that kidney donors have an elevated chance of suffering from kidney disease themselves. This risk is much higher than the 1/3000 risk of death in surgery reported in the article. For example:

> Two studies report a higher risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among donors than among healthy nondonors; however, the absolute 15-year incidence of ESRD is <1%. All-cause mortality and the risk of cardiovascular events are similar among donors and healthy nondonors, although one study provides evidence for a 5% increase in all-cause mortality after 25 years that is attributable to donation.

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25941060/

So it's not like you sacrifice yourself to save 3000 people, it's sacrificing yourself for a chance to have two kidney patients where you only had one. And while "less than 1%" sounds like a small personal risk, it is a large risk at a population level. And as more people are convinced of the altruism of donating a kidney, while alive, it will affect more people.

In this, I'm speaking as a kidney patient and one who would never accept an organ from a living donor, exactly because of the above.

And that's before thinking of the trade-offs in quality of life that come with transplantation, and the potential effect of "freezing" research in finding true cures for kindey disease (which is not one disease) because we can keep people alive for more than 10 years with transplants and dialysis.

It’s true that Telegram only uses encryption for data in transit for normal person-to-person chats and group chats. Data at rest is stored in a way the server can read. That’s one of the things that makes Telegram search so fast.

The encryption part [1] is covered in the FAQ, along with more details.

Also see the question and answer on “Fo you process data requests?” [2]

Telegram has a feature called secret chats, which are only person-to-person. That uses end-to-end encryption.

IMHO too late. Software to run a PaaS was the key 10 years ago, the future is custom silicon and universal runtimes (either via linux containers and k8s or WASM).

In both areas the barrier to enter is huge and costly. Common commodity hardware (think x86) will not provide enough competitive advantage especially in terms of energy efficiency.

That said, I'm happy that someone at least tries to attack. All the best wishes, I'll be happy once proven wrong.

If you use something like rspamd, then doing ML is not terribly hard. Then it becomes a problem of providing a proper teaching set. Combining RBL's (be it URI, IP or domain WL's or BL's) will help with that.

In the end it's still a hard problem, so takes a bunch of work.

>Right now, IPOs are done at the whim of investment bankers. Look at the league tables [1], there's effectively a cartel of a handful of (mainly US) banks that basically dominate how corporations can raise money.

This is true, but is it bad? Are there companies anywhere having difficulty raising money?

>European countries have tried (and largely failed) to establish players that could at least compete with the US banks and provide an alternative for European companies.

Yes, this is a problem with some regulation, and why "breaking up the banks" sentiment in the US is not thought through by proponents. Countries that allow their banking sector to grow will dominate (read: China).

>but there's no reason to be completely against the creation of new forms of financing

True, but no matter the mechanism, raising money from smaller/more investors will always be filled with scams. We're seeing that play out in Web3; people are losing their shirts because they have no idea what they're investing in or they're willing to risk money to get rich scamming the people coming in after them. There are higher costs of regulation with more investors.

Yeah iTunes used to be a real shitshow, having accumulated anything related to iPhone sync mgmt, media player, and a browser ofc. Then the Apple Music player came as an improvement, but still wtf: the workflow to play a title is like, search it, then wade through the results to get at your local copy (as opposed to titles on the store), then click it to arrive at the album where Apple Music doesn't select the damn title but the first of the album/collection, then browse through the possibly large list (have to select list view first) to locate it, then finally play it, if I recall correctly. If your music collection is large and/or on multiple volumes and/or copied from older or others systems, there are additional fuckups.

We're always making fun of that at a die-hard Apple fanboy friend of mine. To add insult to injury, Apple Music is gender-mainstreamed in German (should be a config option IMO).

But give it time; Apple is certainly able to get it right eventually. Other players have degraded as well IMHO.

I haven't used it, but it might be quite useful. It does force code to run on a single core, so you won't get truly concurrent execution which I guess might hide some multithreading bugs. On the other hand it does come with "chaos mode" which is basically thread schedule fuzzing.

You can "fast forward" the trace as you imagine. rr works by recording all non-deterministic input and output to the program so it can start from the core dump and step backwards.

As I understand it anyway; I've never actually used it - the one time I really wanted something like rr was on a Mac.
It’s easy to refuse requests from Chinese law enforcement if you don’t have offices, employees, or assets in China. Meanwhile, European countries recognize the legitimacy of each other’s court systems and will enforce judgments and orders across borders.
As long as I can't provision these service myself without having to "call for advice" I am not using it irregardless of the price.

Mate I love telegram but that's not plain incorrect.

Telegram has transport layer encryption, like literally everything else in 2022. For all intents and purposes telegram can read and access a majority of your conversations on it.

This isn't a super big deal because telegram is aiming to be a social media platform, rather than an encrypted comms platform, and e2ee on groups over a certain size is pretty useless.

I think telegram can still improve by making private messages e2ee by default.

Interesting analysis.

I think it really extends to everything, others have mentioned pre-made tomato sauces here, also baffling both for price and taste.

When I left home, pre-internet, and started grocery shopping for the first time, I recall wanting spagetti. Well ground meat, that made sense. Pepper. Salt. Noodles.

But until years later, I didn't think about the spagetti sauce I bought. I just kept buying it. It was just there, labelled as a natural ingredient.

You want to make spagetti? Why, there's the sauce!

In retrospect, I think labelling is quite effective in this way. Get 'em when first out of the house, latch on to their inexperience then.

AFAIK royalties are paid out for every stream over 30 seconds long. The 'context' (album, playlist, single play) doesn't matter. "royalties [are] based on an artist’s share of overall streams across the platform" [1]

My guess is that playlists lead to more engagement than albums. Users listen longer, and discover new music, which leads to more listening in the future.

> When I first heard of Effective Altruism, it was all about vaccines and mosquito nets [...] When I checked back a few years later, the community seemed to be all about surviving the Rapture, I mean “Singularity”

I feel exactly the same way - but having been present through a lot of it, perhaps I can add some context.

Back in ~2009, Toby Ord was at 'The Oxford Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics' and started 'Giving What We Can' which is exactly what you remember: Demonstrably cost-effective interventions like mosquito nets and deworming tablets. Measuring charity impact by quality-adjusted life years. Membership by pledging to donate 10% of your income to such causes. Approving of earning to give.

The thing is, GWWC was basically complete when it launched. Their recommended most efficient charities today are the same ones they launched with.

Oh, there were still some things to discuss - is it even more efficient to spend money on lobbying government to spend the foreign aid budget on those highly efficient causes? - but not enough to create a thriving discussion community or keep philosophy professors employed.

But GWWC wasn't the only thing happening at Oxford's philosophy department at the time. GWWC, The Oxford Uehiro Centre, the Centre for Effective Altruism and the Future of Humanity Institute were all in the same place at the same time - and in some senses EA is a broader version of GWWC, sharing its spreadsheet-and-QALYs-based approach. Toby Ord's focus moved from global poverty to existential risks, and GWWC and EA just sort of got rolled up together.

Thus creating this strange organisation - where one branch of the organisation would say the benefits of donating to medical research aren't quantifiable enough; while another branch works on things that are a hundred times more speculative than that.

And as the 'existential risk' branch has a lot more to argue about - they're a much more visible part of the community.

Exactly, Apple is a hardware company with software as a loss leader.

Apple TV is pretty bad. I can't recall ever using it without a freeze or a crash. It's embarrassing for a company with the amount of money Apple has.

This is the reason why I'm bought into the Google ecosystem. I would say that Google is the least bad at software of any of the major tech companies. I would probably use Chromebooks if I could get proper drivers for my beloved RME hardware.
I think you have found the heart of this issue. As a French I wasn’t understanding the points being made about extracurricular activities but here a 7pm dinner is considered early and most people will eat around 8 up to 9. To be fair few people leave work before 6:30pm and being home before 7:30pm would be exceptional.

My beef with US supermarkets the only time I went there is how poor is the quality to price ratio is particularly for vegetables. Generally speaking you could shift every thing one price band compared to France.
>Built in 2018, the first [datacenter] offers up to 1,000 sqm (10,760 sq ft), with another 4,500 sqm (48,400 sq ft) to be offered in phase two; it reportedly has a PUE of 1.1 and utilizes river cooling. [The second datacenter] offers 300 sqm (3,200 sq ft) across two data halls.

These seem implausibly small for the total footprint of an entire datacenter designed for providing resources on par with an AWS zone. Perhaps these figures are referring to the maximum collocation space available to a single client?

I dabble a bit in DeFi, and try to keep up with some of the tech. But perusing my Twitter feed, I feel like I'm on another planet. So many pointless NFTs. Companies which I have no idea what business they're in, along with their "marketers" (often good looking young women). VCs investing in and talking about paradigm shifting startups for which I can't name a single customer. At least we could understand what Pets.com did.
I think this is overall a very well written article, as someone not involved with EA, it seems a good critique of EA.

But! This actually makes me more interested in EA, because the criticism only really chips away small caveats in the idea it presents. It points out some inconsistency in the central principle, but a lot of things are still worth doing while having some unclear edge-cases that seem inconsistent.

I think it's also easy to reject the dichotomy between "EA says you should sacrifice everything in the embrace of extreme utilitarianism" and "EA is just generic try-to-do-some-good-ism that brings nothing new".

I just started reading the 80000 hours website. Their argument against the former seems to be that your continued career and income is your most important asset (unless you inherited a fortune), and not being miserable or depressed STRONGLY supports building a sustained income and career, and continuing to give.

So you should allow yourself to eat ice cream sometimes not just because it's intuitively obviously okay, also because it supports your mental health, which is a continued asset that increases your capacity to keep giving.

If you burn out and start giving less or stop, obviously that's not effective altruism, and I think the 80000 hour website and EA more broadly must be very aware of that.

(The other side of the dichotomy seems even easier to rebuke. It's just overly reductive for the sake of making a point.)

Overall this is a great article that has ruined my weekend by giving me way too many other interesting web pages to read :)
I love Apple Music for its live radio and curator roster, but the app is shockingly poor. On an iPhone 12 Pro, every single screen shows me multiple spinners for up to a second, like every UI component is a separate webview. On MacOS, the spinners regularly persist for over a second. It's unbelievable to me that Apple execs are okay with this.
I don't think MS has pixel art. Chibis with a relatively low res sprites indicative of the era (Released 2003-2007).

"There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." - John Maynard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1919.

Keynes wrote that to warn about the risk of inflation in Germany and its potential consequences -- years before high rates of inflation led to the failure of the German mark, the collapse of the Weimar republic, the rise of dangerous ideologues (the Nazis), and ultimately, World War II.

If Turkey doesn't get inflation under control, it will implode.
"bimbling" - love the word. First I've seen it.
I am bad at natural languages, but I am Dutch so my television when I was young was English, German, French, Flemish and bad bad Dutch tv. So I have some advantage but communicating with a few words, English and hands and feet works fine with the locals. My wife learns languages very fast (she is also dutch but she learned Mandarin when we were working in china and was good with the locals when we left) so that helps, but the people mostly speak English and insist on speaking English to practice; these are 20-50 y/o Spanish, Portuguese and expats.

It took about 2 years to be an integral part of the community in spain; Portugal took a few months and we don’t speak Portuguese yet because everyone understands English and with Spanish Portuguese is not hard to understand. But all communications are in English really.

You’re re-treading an old line of argument that doesn’t make sense anymore especially in this context. Apple has identified services as an area they went to grow.

Music is an ongoing subscription service, with plenty of competition. If they want to retain or grow their paying subscribers Apple needs to improve their software with the same attention to quality they devote to hardware.
