Angry mobs are a signal of our justice system either having a gap or otherwise not working.

Lately, most angry mobs start on twitter/facebook, and often are based upon exaggerations or lies, and have the aide of twitter/facebook amplification effects, which purposefully try to fan anger to drive more engagement.
Can't the government just levy a tax per parking spot?
I can't get behind this. You can be objective about why you're leaving and still be seen on good terms without burning any bridges.

Companies need to learn. They can't do that if everyone skips the exit interview.

As the article and your quote say, the issue is "comparatively." Other apps are doing checks:

> According to a Meta spokesperson, WhatsApp has implemented numerous features to proactively detect and prevent the spread of child exploitation material, including limiting how many people can be shared on a viral image at one time and using photo-matching technology on rules-violation reports submitted to the company by users and non-encrypted photos found in profile or group avatars. Meta says it also uses machine learning to scan usernames and group descriptions for a potential sign of child exploitation material.

But Wickr is not checking as thoroughly as it could:

> Shehan noted one report to NCMEC’s tip line from a Wickr user as an example of what goes unchecked on the platform, in which he said a user flagged a Wickr account that was named “BabyAbuse,” which used a profile photo of an infant being sexually assaulted.

We can definitely criticize Wickr for not implementing industry best practices for something as important as this.

> scheduling is per workload

This is really the key: a supercomputer has the (software) facilities that makes it possible to launch one coordinate job that runs across all nodes. A data centre is just a bunch of computers placed next to each other, with no affordances to coordinate things across them.

At on point in time the hardware differences were much greater between the two, but the fundamental distinction where a supercomputer really is concerned with having the ability to be "one" computer remains.
So gold’s day in the sun from the 15th century to the 1970s was what?
dotTrace fantastic, really essential for performance profiling. Likewise, dotMemory is really good when trying to reduce or understand memory usage (tho dotTrace does have some memory tooling too). I've been happily paying for a JetBrains Ultimate personal license for a few years now.

There are very few companies that I'm really rooting for, but JetBrains is absolutely one.
That's not considered signals and systems, at least not where I went to school (unless you're talking about fully-active suspensions, but those are very rare and highly specialized). Rather, that would be down the "dynamics" course progression -- which is bread and butter for MechEs in those lines of work. That's also extremely useful, but it's generally a different subject matter, at least until you get into graduate-level dynamics combined with upper-undergrad-to-graduate-level numerical methods.
This is going back to 2009, but so much in CA is left to the counties, that I 100% believe this happened in other places.
> Nobody should have the power to subvert the meaning of time.

Interesting take, but isn't setting an interest rate doing exactly that, whatever that rate is?

This is why, the Islamic approach is the most superior one: no lending money with interest, period. This means at least two things:

(1) Lending money becomes an act of charity, since you cannot profit off of it.

(2) You want to tap into time value of money? Invest it in a proper risk sharing manner that is fair to all parties engaged.

It would be a very different world had we implemented this approach.
> It's because you don't really know public transit.

Come on. I know my living situation and that of others, and there's no conceivable public transit system that would cause me to stop owning a car.

> I'd rather take my three hour ride in a train (with free wifi and electricity) than drive for 5 hours on a mind-numbing highway.

And I might do that too if I had a commute like that, but even in that case I'd still keep a private car for other trips.
So it's not exactly what you're talking about, but the Parkes radio telescope used to have it's control system wired up with speakers and the control software used Australian animal sounds for various statuses and errors. So when things went well it would sound like a peaceful wilderness.

Supposedly after a while, you could tell how things were going by the shift in the animal sounds, even for minor shifts from normal operation. And of course the various alerts used loud noises like panicked Kookaburra (if I'm recalling correctly), so those definitely got the attention of even novice operators.
Pretty interesting. The dominant hypothesis now is that exposure to daylight is the main variable. It explains why myopia seems, like diabetes and heart disease, to be what doctors call a “disease of affluence”—more common in rich countries than poor ones—since economic growth brings with it more education, and therefore, for children, more time inside.
Well, the increased availability of guns and the further normalization of guns everywhere would probably increase the chances over the status quo.
Then why can't I throw money at a cop to persuade them to not give me a ticket?
Simply put, Land value tax is a tax on the unimproved value of land. It also can be thought of as _location_ value tax. Property tax typically includes both land value tax and the value of the improvements to the land - buildings, etc.

While they may sound similar, land value tax and property tax lead to vastly different outcomes.

Big fan.
I’m only using side displays for logs or something I don’t need to refer to often and can see by side vision. Same for large “viewport” angles like tv right in front of me. Can’t stand turning my head or reading at an angle (even if it’s good-angle ips). However you arrange your screens, the field of your effective sight remains the same.

Multiple displays is just a physical solution to the core issue: desktop window managers and software and hardware suck. You can’t have an event-transparent overlay of a compiler/runtime output over your ui testing area, you can’t have windows that slide in from the side on a hotkey or a click, showing quick status when “holstered”. You can’t reveal/popup a window when text in it matches a regex. You can’t assign a hotkey to a browser tab. You can’t custom-dpi a specific window. You can’t have drawers with links in them that are already preloaded and ready to refer to. You can’t have a special set of keys to launch, raise or shift windows temporarily. You can’t scroll on a keyboard. It’s all stupid and fixed even with advanced WMs, or requires programming comparable with creating a new WM and most apps from scratch. And it’s always arcane combination of two-three-four keys, most of which live in rural areas of your keyboard.

Funny thing is, 3d games figured it out with huds, OSD messages, consoles, choice wheels, trivial panning, zooming and movement, “physical” buttons and switches, and 3d itself.

b) As other people commented to people's comments: unusual days is when bugs manifest
c) The whole stock and bond market is down. Everything is down. It is the "reddest" state we have been. Feel free to check.

We are watching the whole world economy going down. We can of course carry on burying Crypto, but let us not kid ourselves that the practices do not exist in the rest of the commodity space. Or that the world is booming meanwhile crypto is just getting what it deserves. Now if that is bad and scary, I agree. Good luck.
Time is valuable; holding money for a time has value. Interest is just recognizing that.

Imagining that folks will ignore that is futile.
In software we (or at least I) often see situations where careful forethought put systems and checks in place that survive long after the responsible parties are gone, and it can be difficult to identify or accept that the project failed this year because Tom quit last year. There are too many forces arrayed against looking too closely at those situations, and once the wheels come off there's no longer a quorum to even rationally discuss such a thing, except amongst a few veterans having a beer and trying not to draw too much attention to themselves.

If you idiot-proof something well enough, it can take a long time for the Universe to invent an idiot good enough to pull the whole thing down. We tend to look at Rome as one of the oldest well-documented cases of the power of logistics, so it's not outside of the realm of reason to suggest that a good process might survive even a generation or two before Chesterton's Fence wins out. But whether that's due to a loss of cleverness or just human nature is likely going to be hard to prove.
Thanks for the great link (just watched it).

The whole idea of a "defined benefit" pension seems insane to me. It's essentially a promise that some entity will still exist and be solvent in 40+ years (start teaching around 22, retire around 65...)

Time is money, and when you reach a certain amount of money, your business stops being profitable. So yes, presumably they literally didn't have "time" to do so.
Those dependencies will be downloaded more often than the “popular” gems, so they will be affected by the same policies.

After threads the last few days where people were suggesting getting monitors to use as TVs, it's amusing to see the reverse offered just as sensibly.
I was reading it more similarly to "Since I think, I am" which would be closer to "I think therefore I am" than to "I am because I think", though perhaps that's giving it too much slack, or perhaps its coming from a native language where word order is more flexible than in English.
Not so much "generally" as having the ability of doing it, but it is true that it a supercomputer is managed like it is one big thing that has one job queue it tries to optimise.

Natural language is vague and allows for many possible interpretations of short phrases. The one that is more applicable to Descartes quote is something along the lines of "me thinking proves that I exist". This, of course, says nothing about thoughts being a necessity for existence.
Sega was so far ahead on console tech while also completely unable to manage a business. They basically released the Wii in 1999 with their bass pro fishing controller for Dreamcast that could also play games like Virtua Tennis. They just decided not to tell anyone lol. Baffling but impressive. The Dreamcast was such a fun console.

Another fun Sega-ism is that the Genesis/Megadrive could play games online in 1994, although I think only in Japan.
> The first kind of business is the kind of capitalism I want, not the second.

The problem is there's no rule you can apply that distinguished between those two, in a court of law or elsewhere. Unless you just look at if a bigger firm owns the vet office. But that doesn't help with the upselling vet or the large national organization who wants to help animals.
I thought this too. Isn’t it a better user experience if the bundling happens ahead of time rather than at request time?
Thanks, Neil :D The current model definitely does an "implicit" accent conversion to American English, but in the near future we'll have something that keeps accents on separate sides of the pond, so to speak :)
Do you have ADHD? That's the typical reaction to stimulants.
In my opinion the Samsung Q7C is the best 4K TV for desktop computing:

- it's curved
- it can do 1920x1080 at 120 hz
- it does 4:4:4 color

That said, I still like multimonitor setups. The built-in partitioning is a nice feature for most work.
System is moving in the opposite direction. The county I'm in banned "group homes" because outcomes are worse in group homes, and foster homes will magically appear if we ban group homes (they didn't, instead they paid for kids to be in group homes in neighboring counties, until enough places found loopholes in the ban).
You make good points, but people here are no more receptive to them than Russians are prepared to acknowledge that Putin came to power by staging false flag attacks:

Because if you tried to run the supercomputer benchmark on a DC, you'd get a low score, and you can't easily make up for that by adding more computers to a DC.
To win the supercomputer benchmarks, you need low-latency, high bandwidth networks that allow all the worker nodes in the computer to communicate calculation results. Different real jobs that run on supercomputers have different communications needs but none of them really scale well enough to be economic to run on datacenter style machines.

What's interesting is that over time, the datacenter folks ended up adding supercomputers to their datacenters, with very large and fast database/blob storage/data warehousing systems connected up to "ML supercomputers" (like supercomputers, but typically only do single precision floating point). The two work well together so long as you scale the bandwidth between them. At the end of the day, any interesting data center has obscenely complex networking technology. For example, TPUs are PCI-attached devices in Google data centers; they plug into server machines just like GPUs. The TPUs themselves have networking between TPUs, that allows them to move important data, like gradients, between TPUs, as needed to do gradient descent and other operations, but the hosts that the TPUs are plugged into have their own networks. The TPUs form a mesh- the latest TPUs form a 3D mesh, but physically implemented through a complex optical switch, while the hosts they are attached to multiple switches which themselves from complex graphs of networking elements. When running ML, part of your job might be using the host CPU to read in training data and transform it, keeping the network busy, keeping some remote disk servers busy, while pushing the transformed data into the TPUs, which then communicate internal data between themselves and other TPUs, over an entirely distinct network. Crazy stuff.
> It's just that stating "God created the universe." immediately leads to the question "Who created God?"

Simple answer: this is a logically contradictory question to ask. It's basically the same as saying: someone baked this piece of bread, then, who baked the baker?

The universe did not always exist, and provably so. The Creator exists outside the realm of His creation, and as such, our laws do not apply to Him.

The very fact that we're having this discussion is proof that God, The Creator, exists.

Secondly, God has sent us many messengers, and provably so. This means that "we have no need for God" assumption is meaningless.
exactly, because "take" is the operative word, being a positive action done by a subject.
Being able to come up with $500 or $5k at a moment's notice is part of pet ownership. If your financial situation prevents coming up with it, don't get a pet. You're just shifting irresponsibility in the guise of anti-corporate crusading.

The house is 70 years old. 1 wall was renovated, and got modern insulation, but the other 3 have not received that treatment yet. If it's -20C outside, the temperature drops perhaps 2 degrees per hour, if all power is shut off. That means 20C goes to 16C in 2 hours.
I always link people unfamiliar with Land Value Tax to this book review of Progress and Poverty, the book which put the concept of a Land Value Tax on the map.

It's thorough, informative, and surprisingly funny for a book review.
I have a resharper ultimate license through work and a full Jetbrains ultimate at home (I switched to Rider for C#/F#/Unity dev in the past 6 months and really liking it, along with CLion for the times I'm writing rust).

One time at work I dug up something that removed 75% of the runtime of an application because it turned out taking the length of an image was actually a method even though it looked like a simple property, so I cached it at the start of processing each image instead of foring over it over and over. It was insane how much faster the code became. I tracked that down with dotTrace.

And yeah dotMemory is also fantastic, I've dug up some GNARLY memory usage with it. Probably should have mentioned it since I was bringing up the memory portion of BenchmarkdotNet.
more fine-tuned control over enunciation/emotion and the like is very much in the works... stay tuned :)

Yes, but I agree wholeheartedly with the recommendation that you are responding to. I clicked on the first big “play” button I saw, thinking it would be a quick demo. I then started skipping through the video to find the meat. In particular, I expected to hear someone’s cloned voice and say, “wow”. When I realized it was primarily some stock footage and some silent recording of the UI, I moved on, and THEN realized that there were demo voices.
Wasn't the dole only implemented because land ownership had concentrated to a few extremely wealthy individuals? Only a few generations earlier, during the Second Punic War many landowners had either died or had their farms ruined to deny food to Hannibal, allowing the land to be bought at low prices.
>much longer amounts of time

Like 9 minutes versus 5 minutes, for a comparison of our stop at a fast charger on the way to LA from the Bay Area versus gas fillup. Such a long time.

But yes it’s good to have places to go for the longer (30 minutes say) charges.

The Fed doesn't use the CPI, they use the PCE. The PCE is calculated based on rental prices, not home prices. I should have said more accurately that they don't include the PRICE of homes in their inflation measurement. It seems like it would be quite important when you are holding 2T in MBS.
Product Hunt --> https://www.producthunt.com/posts/coqui
Null hypothesis confirmation is not a good source of papers. Framing of problem is part of the craft. It's not a secret that there is a big reproducibility problem in science today. Why? Because problems and results are hand crafted to go from "let's disprove this... oh look I did it".
I vaguely remember a magazine biography of an Italian scientist who lived near the mountains. In the summer, he liked to strike out on Friday afternoon with a hunk of bread and a hunk of cheese, think about scientific problems while he hiked around in the mountains, sleep under his jacket, and come home on Saturday or Sunday. In his location he didn't need any more material wealth to "go camping" than he needed to stay at home.

It might be more the opposite, that only in relatively recent times have people been able to get away for a day or two without doing what we would call "camping." If you were a hunter-gatherer you'd grab a buddy (or not), invent some excuse like checking for game in the next valley, and rough it for a night or two. Now if you fuck off for a weekend you can check into a hotel or an AirBNB.
That is not the only thing that has backed the value of money in the history of humanity. It (violence) is arguably the most inferior social mechanism for enforcing value that has been tried.
It costs more than zero dollars to set up a new vet clinic. I'd bet a bunch of the shit they need is really expensive.
