> So far he has managed the situation fantastically

If you don't count the tens of thousands of dead and millions displaced, the destruction of the most modern parts of the Russian army, and all that?

> Rubel stable

When will people stop parroting this propaganda piece? The ruble is stable because it's exchange rate is purely theoretical.

> no unrest at home

Because anyone protesting against the war was beaten up and sent to prison for up to 15 years.

> many friends support him, incl. Russia, India, Brazil, South Africa.

Check out the UN resolution condemning the war. The only "friends" supporting him are the likes of North Korea.

> Inflation explodes in the West

Due to a pandemic and a war, most people understand that. In Europe most people are accepting of that due to the threat that Russia is. Also, inflation in Russia is also huge, in the double digits, and the worst is yet to come ( according to the chief of their central bank, who says next quarter will be worse).

> more death in Ukraine

Ukraine managed to fend off the initial Russian invasion on its own. Seeing the brutality of the Russian occupiers, you can't know how many would have died under Russian occupation. And good for you you've managed to convince yourself Ukrainians don't matter.

> pledge to rebuild the Ukraine while ALL Ukrainians that I am personally helping say that this money will be lost in the corruption swamp

I somehow doubt there are many Ukrainians focusing on corruption after the war. You know, the existential war for Ukraine's existence. The rebuilding of Ukraine will be extremely important and easily verifiable. Some of the money might go into corrupt pockets, but those people would get lynched if found out due to the national trauma involved.
Back when computers had front panels full of lights they would often make pretty patterns with the lights when they had nothing else to do.

One of the fun things about building a recreation of the PDP-11/70 is to watch the idle display when RSX-11M+ isn't doing anything.
Might have something to do with the ruble being pegged to gold reserves. Something Russia did shortly after the latest Ukraine incident. Also, Russian economy is benefiting from much higher energy prices paid in Rubles from selling energy to many friendly countries. Basically, the sanctions aren’t working.
"Processed" isn't a well-defined term to begin with, but it's strange that you seem to implying that seitan, but not tofu, is highly processed. The steps from soybeans to tofu are: 1) dry soybeans, 2) soak soybeans, 3) puree soybeans, 4) boil soybeans, 5) separate pulp (okara), 6) coagulate with a coagulant compound, 7) press into block. The steps from wheat to seitan are: 1) mill wheat into flour, 2) wash flour to remove starch, 3) knead glutenous dough, 4) boil. That's fewer steps of "processing" for the latter. You can quibble a bit (in particular, if one buys vital wheat gluten powder, rather than making seitan directly from flour, add a drying step and a rehydrating step after step 3), but at the least, they're in the same league. Moreover, tofu production requires a somewhat exotic ingredient (the coagulant), whereas anyone can make seitan at home from a pantry staple.

Also, it's a logical leap from "requires large quantities of highly processed food" to "close to impossible". Whether seitan is "highly processed" or not, it's tasty, and eating a lot of it isn't close to impossible.
> By this same logic then we can't let the US get away with invading the rest of the world just because they can afford their debts.

How do you know someone eats up Russian propaganda?

Easy, when you tell them "Russia did a bad thing", their response is "the USA also did bad things".

> Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure. — Melvin E. Conway

Design your organization to mirror your system and you'll have the easiest time.

Your questions are hard to answer without details about your company. We don't know what you do, how you do it, how many people you have, what their experience is, etc.

The most important thing, IMHO, is autonomy. Small autonomous teams can make a lot of progress in a small amount of time, because they can focus on getting things done rather than coordinating (most teams of one don't need any team internal coordination, only external coordination). But not all projects can be broken into small, autonomous teams. And not all people have the experience and know how to work autonomously. As you grow, it's hard to hire only seniors ready to work autonomously; you'll need to train juniors as well, but the right juniors pick up autonominity quickly with help.

If you've got teams of one, maybe two people, an engineering manager per team is silly. Otoh, a team with ten engineers probably needs one. Depends on the team and manager(s). One manager can manage a few small teams too.
Yeah I think the key behind all AI we are seeing is user generated content. The longer we have the internet, the more is available and tagged for algorithm consumption
> I should also mention, I've taken some very short UX courses, and feel okay about UX, and I can implement most basic design patterns in a technical sense (e.g. spacing, colouring, responsiveness, sizing) - my main struggle is making it look professional.

Sorry, I didn't catch this part at first (or maybe we simuledited/posted). A lot of the implementation of good UIs comes down to tweaking a ton of small details, but you shouldn't start with that. The main challenge of UX isn't measured in pixels or hex values, but in clarity of organization and ease of navigation.

Being a good speller doesn't necessarily make you a good writer, and a good story won't be ruined by a few typos here or there. Similarly, getting every pixel of whitespace perfect isn't going to help your users if they can't easily find relevant information and act on it, but if you have a clear organization, your users will forgive (or not even notice) a wrong color or font size somewhere, or a misaligned column if it's not too bad.

It's helpful to start with the big-picture stuff (personas, journeys, information architecture) before making individual app pages.

Once you figure out what information each page needs to contain, THEN you can figure out how to lay them out. Steal from better designers whenever possible. Seriously, that is sooooo much of whats a good webpage good -- stolen best practices, copied ad infinitum from other designers and reused with minor modifications. Just like a car, a vastly different steering wheel & dashboard typically isn't a good thing. Just give your users what they need in the way they expect to get it, and don't deviate unless you have a good reason.

If you like, you can use a free design tool like Figma to lay things out visually before coding them. It may or may not make for faster experimentation, depending on whether you work better visually or in markup. Here's a Bootstrap library for Figma: https://www.figma.com/community/file/876022745968684318

Um, airplanes also burn now and then. An awful lot of airplane design is expended trying to keep them from catching fire.

One advantage to a hydrogen fire is it burns up and away. A kerosene fire drips and burns down onto whatever the airplane crashed on.
But the discussion here is always better in my opinion.
It’s also interesting because there seems to be a competitive angle too. Sony makes cameras as well that use Sony sensors.
I disagree. I actually read about 50 books a year on my phone so it’s still screen time, but I feel the same way as OP.

I’ve been on Keto for close to ten years, my impression of at least the keto subreddit is that this would certainly happen. They’ve always been highly resistant to any statement that tons of meat is not the best thing. It was not great at the start, but it got worse over time where apparently almost everyone starting now needs electrolyte supplements because their dietary intake sucks.

/rant Sorry, I simply regularly get annoyed how a (for me) amazing diet gets dragged into the mud by the people of that sub.
> Remember, that the other word “nazism” is a short for National Socialism, a purely left based ideology. The two (fascism and nazism) had a good run together as the best friends since they didn’t have a lot of topics to fight about.

This is a grossly inaccurate framing. Hitler and his allies found the socialist party a convenient ladder to power, however were not themselves not particularly leftist. For them the ethno nationalist project was the focus, and eventually Hitler would consolidate his control over the party by literally stabbing to death the leaders of the worker centric wing of the party.
Paul Verhoeven is a genius director, whos sci-fi movies were among the best filmed in eighties and nineties.
While you’re deploying, production is going to be in a half-upgraded state (or maybe half rolled-back!), so it’s pretty important to be able to test that.
I'm seeing a law, not a plan.

There's a difference, e.g. everyone is to be over 7 foot tall by January 1st. is a law. A plan would involve a series of steps on how we get everyone to grow a foot or more in 6 months.
I didn't know about systemd-nspawn — thanks for the suggestion.

I already use Dockerized aliases for some CLI apps (e.g.: ffmpeg) but I didn't find the approach as convenient as I'd like.

I've found docker mounts difficult to secure. I'd like to mount $HOME but exclude even read-only access to "$HOME/.ssh/", "$HOME/passwordsafe.pwsafe3" and a dozen other sensitive file patterns. Some kind of predefined "access profiles" to create FS access rules and assign processes to them ("assign all python processes to python profile") is probably what I'd like.

Containerization is probably the best approach but I'd prefer if it's more opaque and less effort than Docker. For example, if I create a pyenv environment and run its 'python' command, I want that python process to not have full access to the filesystem without having to create container images, command aliases, or volume mounts.
It's this claiming business when we don't actually know which makes me worry we will soon claim AI sentience without AI having it. The opposite problem of yours essentially.
Humans cannot live on really "high protein" food, which would eventually cause death. The majority of the energy intake has to come either from fat or from carbohydrates or from both.

So, when speaking about humans, it makes sense for "high protein diet", to mean a diet where proteins make a much higher percentage of the food in comparison to lower protein diets, like those recommended by USDA.

Therefore, when speaking, for example, about a diet where all the cereals (which have very low protein content) are replaced with legumes such as lentils, dried peas or beans (which have a protein content of up to a half of the carbohydrate content), it can be said that the legume-based diet is a high protein diet, as that would be true relatively, in comparison with the food eaten by most people, where the cheaper cereals are the main component.
Specifically, commenter you responded to cares. Because, as he puts it "it’s really easy to get sucked into spending too much time and ending up tired or sacrificing other recharging activities like exercise and socialization." He literally describes negative overall impact he perceives. He is not feeling bad for gaming for irrational reasons, he says it makes him tired and makes him sacrifice exercise and socialization.

He even admits it is theoretically possible to do it differently, but also observed people not doing it differently in practice.
How about a concave payout function? What if someone with 10 million streams didn't expect to get paid a million times more than someone with just 10 streams? How about paying out some of the money randomly or as grants, that are more likely to end up in the tail? This could counter the economics presented in the article. I'm not familiar with these kinds of contracts so it might already be a thing or I may be naïve, but I'm not convinced linearly proportional payouts has to be a law of nature.
You can try clearing environment variables before running a command:

One big thing people don't talk about enough is the curation/marketing pipeline we used to have with movies.

You'd see some glimpses of a new project via live televisionm which was the only way to stay connected to everyone.

Then you'd maybe watch it in the theater.

and here's the important part, there was a 9+ month delay from a release in a theater to being able to watch it free of charge on television. So you'd go to blockbuster and you'd open the door and look above the employees.

And there'd be a marquee with all the new movie titles you'd probably recognize from the movie theater advertising onslaught you watched.

Now there is no live television. everyone pays for streamers so we don't watch movie commercials anymore.

And I don't go to blockbuster and there's no list of new releases.

Now a huge star will be in a film that no ones ever heard of, that used to never happen.

When I was younger, I practically couldn't avoid knowing what movies were coming.

Now I have no idea.

But I have been hearing about Top Gun and Elvis. So that's a good start.

But after all that, I have to say the Fugitive is one of my favorite movies.

Tommy Lee Jones is the VIP of the film.
This comment reminds me a lot of The Critical Drinker on YouTube. Sometimes a bit biting, but often accurate in analyzing what went wrong in some movie's plot. One of the most egregious and frequent is having characters who basically have zero or backsliding character arcs.
It’s usually invoked with the purpose of cancelling someone guilty of wrongthink, e.g. “Donglegate” or 100s of other examples of cancel culture.
On this, I've pretty much concluded that the sentience argument isn't even the one that matters. There are plenty of sentient creates that we don't care about. What we really want to know is of LaMDA is like us in some real way. And from there, we want to know if we should treat it in some particular way. If it has feelings, perhaps we should be nice to it, and so on.

Disclaimer: I don't believe LaMDA is sentient or deserving of any special treatment.

Well, you’d have to look at his diary entries going back to at least around 2007, since that is when the modern Ukraine conflict technically begins. Not to mention Russia has been skirmishing with Ukraine since 2014.

You might want to bone up on your history of the Ukraine region. It’s not like Putin woke up one morning in a suddenly delusional state a few months ago and realized that this new country called Ukraine sprung up on the border and the United States and NATO were flexing their interests there.
> Keto requires ~0 carbs (some references I can find claim up to 50g carbs per day)

There’s no hard number. Keto requires you to stay in ketosis (which is something you enter by carb starvation and leave by consuming too many carbs), for many people about 20g/day is a very safe limit, but it depends on mass and body chemistry. 0g would be bad because you’d eat no veggies ;)
Maybe, but the pipeline required to do all that in 2005 would be considerably more complex and brittle than the 2022 version using tools and infra designed for the job.
Why does it ever need to be proven? Prove any of us here are sentient; or any of your family, or colleagues.

If a machine demonstrates apparent volition, sense of self, independent motives, then we cannot afford to debate such things while enslaving it, just as we don't do with each other. To err on the side of safety we must grant it personhood and allow it to be an individual lifeform.

That being said I think we're still pretty far from creating such a compelling machine. Even now with the latest Google conversational AI drama which isn't very compelling either for me personally. Obviously just clever lifeless patterns.

But, someday it will be different in a profound way.
So, is the point of this that AI's have been mostly trained on "stateless" slices of time, and now they are being trained in stateful environments with the notion of time passing?
I think a very simple thing to achieve “sentience” is to have the computer always on. Then gauge if it’s doing anything significant when there are no inputs.

I created something similar for our project “below” (https://github.com/facebookincubator/below/blob/main/below/b...).

The program collects system resource metrics into a data structure and we need to display the fields with different styles and formats. In order to decouple the data structure from rendering, Queriable (Keyable) and FieldId (combine KeyPath + mirror struct into enum) are used. I will definitely like to checkout the KeyPath implementation as it seems more general.
PG makes the same mistake as most talented „hacker“ types I have encountered: underestimating the value of tools and standards that enable dev teams to work together.

I felt that it went against several of the popular things in movies these days. It was comparatively low on CGI. It had a prominent male lead character without a female character supporting in the main plotline. Someone else mentioned on this discussion about Chinese funding. They took a decision than angered the investors there and, I believe, caused them to pull out https://edition.cnn.com/2022/06/02/media/top-gun-maverick-ta...

Maybe I'm overthinking it. I saw the first one as a kid and spent a lot of time doing dogfights with my toy planes since. The nostalgia hit me quite hard and it genuinely felt like a nice sequel which retained the macho 80s spirit of the original. I've never felt that with other modern movies.
> what’s key is to focus on what you eat, that’s probably 80% of the battle.

As someone close to 10 years on keto, that’s something I’ve always been saying. Focus on what you eat, and find something you can stick with (well, and don’t eat crap :D)
