> but I’d guess a first-order rule of thumb is the seriousness of the investor is more or less proportional to the size of the firm & fund.

Entirely disagree here. I know lots of bullshit investors with big funds, and lots of serious investors with tiny funds. In fact, newer fund Is with a few million in capital will often be the most helpful and serious investors.

(Disclosure: I am a seed VC, though I am no longer in the tiny Fund I category described above)
They’re only terrible because they needed to be backwards compatible with 32-bit x86 code. Once they’ve been bootstrapped into pure 64-bit mode, they’re a bit better.
Where did that happen? What rulings, what companies, what employees?
Small thought from someone that's spent lots of time messing with embedded C.

I feel like classic OOP is a mistake because you're binding data objects with functional objects. The latter being a collection of functions that performs operations on the former.

If you break them up you can have multiple widgets for dealing with a data object. Each of them with whatever dependencies they need and nothing else. I feel like this style of programing has become more important because it fits in the the idea of computing as an assembly line. Passing data through a data pipelines. Steps which often happen on different processes or machines.

Dependency injection is also really really useful for clean C code.
Some states are explicitly banning procedures to save women's lives in emergencies such as ectopic pregnancies.

It really is that bad.

Thomas is no longer afraid to say their goals out loud: they are coming for more rights.

I'm terrified. As a queer person I already feel targeted.

Dehumanization & equating all queer people to pedophiles is a Nazi tactic which allows people to delude & rationalize to themselves that they are actually doing the right thing whilst perpetrating their hate and violence.

Not even going to go on tangent about Thomas' wife. It's the same undeniable b.s. that they espouse at their confirmations: I don't bring my personal (wife's) opinions into rulings (marriage).
Probably kiss the Affordable Care Act goodbye and head back to the dark ages of losing your insurance and having a preexisting condition means that you get denied treatment.

> it’s a good idea to bring a phone to a protest so you can record what’s happening and get the message out on social media.

Cameras are a real thing, and not just an app on your smartphone.

> It’s also important to be able to communicate with others in real time or to find your friends in case you get separated.

This is why meetup points are important.

Realistically, there’s no good reason to bring your spy-device to a protest.

It’s just that the Intercepts audience is so addicted to them they maintain the fantasy they can have their smartphones and not be surveilled.
The 6809 was an answer to the 6502. They needed something reasonably “better” than the 6502 to justify the price tag. Unfortunately, for them, the 6502 and it’s variants were too entrenched at that point.
I used Notion for some months, and this is why I stopped using it. It is too slow.

Pretty sure the guy knew exactly what he was doing. First, the fact you were negotiating means he already got over the first step, which is simply to engage in a negotiation at all. Then he set himself up so that your team felt you could push extra-hard, resulting in a discount you all probably high-fived about. So he sets his initial price above his peers and even with your super discount you ended up at the same price as everybody else. Or maybe you did pay less... it's software! Marginal cost = pennies. Cheesy sales guy still made a fat commission.
> 1. Wait if you can. Even just a few months. VCs tend to freeze up in the face of macro uncertainty. This happened in Q2 2020 when COVID was very new – nobody knew what was going to happen, so investors just paused for a few months. Then things really took off. I think we're in that "I'm not sure how things are going to shake out so I'm just gonna pause/slow down for now" period right now. Investors will get used to the conditions – regardless of what they are – after a few months. The summer is also a terrible time to raise money, so I'd suggest you wait till the fall regardless if you can. If you gotta go out now, read on...

I don't agree with this advice. Sure, looking back at March 2020, you'd be right. But this time we won't have the Fed to print unlimited money and artificially stop the crash in its track, create a surplus of capital to deploy, and destroy the value of the US Dollar in the process. This newer downturn is us having to pay the price for the foolishness of spring 2020. And it will be far more expensive than it would have been just dealing with it back then. The dollar will never recover this destruction of value – and all we've done is transfer a massive amount of wealth to those who had capital invested in growth assets from those who didn't. (i.e. from the poor to the rich)

If you need capital at all, start raising it now and don't wait. Nobody knows how bad things are going to get, and there's no savior bailing us out in a couple months this time.

Yes, they have a clear release date. But eg Klei keeps sending out updates and bug fixes and improvements for Oxygen Not Included, and they are well received by the community.

But, of course, if Klei was stopping updates to Oxygen Not Included tomorrow, you could still play the game exactly as it is now, and people could also still make mods.
Companies mass tell people because word travels fast and they think it’ll be like ripping off a band aid. They think it’ll be better, but it’s not.

The whole day will be bad. It’ll become clear quickly that those with meetings scheduled are getting laid off. People will wait around for their turn. Others will get out of there fast.

When I got laid off, they divided the team up into two rooms. It turned out one was the people who were getting laid off, the other staying. It was apparently horrific.

I was actually on vacation at the time and not there to see it go down. Instead I had the founder call me on the phone to lay me off. He was more upset about it than me. I appreciated the personal call but found the “this is hard for me too” of the founder annoying at the time. I was losing my income. He still got to be the founder.
> In essence that the love of God is unconditional, but forgiveness is not, and it also can't be earned by being a good person or doing good things, it can only be asked for.

Ah, so do they believe that if and only if one goes through baptism, then they have asked for God's forgiveness and then will be forgiven? I seem a bit confused by that, does it mean that the love is unconditional only after the one specific condition is met? Or maybe it's that unconditional love and forgiveness are separate things?

Also maybe you don't know and that's ok, too, I'm just grateful for you helping me reflect on this more.

As a resident of Asia I can tell you that people were wearing masks in late-January 2020, as soon as the outbreak was apparent in Wuhan.

This wasn't the first rodeo for SE Asia, scars of past pandemics has made the response here much more automatic, orderly and effective.

I think also supplies of masks etc were much more robust here because they were already worn in daily life due to pollution, normal sickness, etc and a massive medical tourism industry that was about to be shutdown and have their supplies made available.
Depends. If you have a fiduciary money, it has some meaning even when not used in commerce.

Fiduciary money is basically when your note say 'the issuer promises to give the bearer X on request', where X can be a cow or certain amount of gold or some other base currency.

Without commerce, this kind of money essentially degenerates into a voucher. But vouchers have some (minimal) meaning, even without being used in commerce.
Cold emails do not work.
Oklahoma's ban doesn't have such exceptions. None of the new trigger bans allow for abortion in the event of fatal fetal abnormality. These laws don't countenance the facts of pregnancy; instead they essentially frame it as slut shaming, which you're also doing here. Contraception fails. People are assaulted. Pregnancies often go awry. The issue transcends promiscuity.

Roe and Casey actually both balanced the state's interest in fetal life with the mothers liberty, Roe with the trimester framework and Casey with the viability line. I urge you to actually read them.
There was also an argument that the 6501 was built as a sacrificial lamb so that when Motorola inevitably sued them, they would be able to keep the 6502 out of the case.

Summary:

1. Singapore's manufacturing relies on automation.

The GDP share of manufacturing has gone up in recent years, reversing the earlier decline; on the other hand, employment in manufacturing actually dropped as a fraction of total employment in the nation.

2. Singapore offers favorable conditions for automated manufacturing:

A. tech talent pool

B. favorable government support (talent growth subsidy, political stability, IP protection)

C. network effect of other high quality firms in the vicinity.

> It is the world’s fourth-largest exporter of high-tech goods, according to the World Bank. The top three are China, Germany and South Korea. The U.S. is fifth.

This surprised me: Singapore beats the US and Japan in this metric.
Yes because it directly affects both my wife and my daughter. If either one chose to get an abortion I'd be very sad, but that's not a good reason to make something illegal.
Saffron is one of those spices that if you haven’t tried cooking with, I highly recommend. It just brightens up virtually any dish. Making scrambled eggs? Add a pinch of saffron, and it adds a little something that makes it more delicious. Making soup? Same thing. I’m not master chef but saffron is worth its weight in gold (pun intended)

I never claimed I was a lawyer. All that law does is revise the definition of "unborn person" in this law: https://www.legis.la.gov/Legis/Law.aspx?d=78337

which lists specific crimes, none of which are contraception or IVF. The words "contraception" or "IVF" are not mentioned anywhere in either law.

So how is that different than motion estimation as it currently stands. That at least sees where pixels are and then where they will be. So instead of storing all of that data, just store where they start and then end and then tween the diff. Isn't that what this "new" ML you just describe does but "different" by slapping "trained ML/AI" to it?
What about 'aid and abet' the person to get there? Or allowing crazy civil lawsuits that evidently are a constitutional 'gotcha'?

> Wages for jobs with an influx of cheap immigrant labor don't rise

If demand for nursing goes through the roof, wages for nurses will rise.

> factoring in the drop in the value of the dollar

If you're factoring change in the value of currency for rents, you should be considering it for in-demand jobs.

> rents may very well more than quadruple.

You're positing a scenario where the population wanting to rent falls, rents quadruple, and wages decrease markedly in real value. This seems to be self-inconsistent.

> Immigration has been trending downwards for a very long time in the US[1].

Then you cite an article mostly about internal migration. The real numbers don't look like that so much: https://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/imm...

Immigrants are a larger share of the US population than any time since 1920, and much, much larger in absolute numbers. Net migration is a bit lower in these past 4-5 years than in years previous-- mostly because of restrictive Trump-era policies and decreased illegal migration from Mexico. And they fell off a cliff for the past couple of years because of, well, COVID.

But the actual queues for immigrant visas are also longer than before.

I don't have an expert understanding of how cookies or VPNs function, but these are the two categories of causes that I came up with. Both seem more likely than Google having timing data from a third-party service.

Within the first category, possibilities include that the phone logged into your Google account while using the VPN, that there was a Google tracking cookie on your phone and that phone wasn't always connected to the VPN so it related 2 ip addresses, and that your other device on same network shared a VPN session with your phone.

The 2nd category I'm including for posterity even if it's unlikely based off your stated usage of FOSS on your phone. That your phone isn't a degoogled OS or other device with Google integration. Smart devices with microphones aren't supposed to collect voice data when not explicitly activated, but it is a potentiality.
That's a really unbiased insightful prediction.

Isn't iMessage just another OTT? (So I'm not sure what significance Apple vs non-Apple has here?)

Honestly, SMS today just exists as a legacy, because of status quo. Just like 'normal' phone calls.

Of course, both are still quite important in the real world.
Thanks for listening! The comment thread for anything copilot related is generally super polarised, and I really appreciated your calm comment and your calm response :)

If I understand your question correctly, it does respond to comments. One of the best ways to interact with copilot is to write a comment (eg "Read input until y/n is entered") and have it generate the resulting code. If you're asking if it matches commenting style, I think it does, but I haven't pushed it in that direction too much.

I think that's an interesting proposal, although it does place the onus on the developer. I would be curious to know how often developers would fail that check even without Copilot!

Overall I think there are definitely open questions, but I'm personally really excited by systems like GPT, Copilot, or Dallee. The future is not clear, but I think these tools to some extent make the internet make sense. There's way too much data online to make sense of--be it code, text, or images. Unlike a search engine which just links to hopefully relevant material, these tools "learn" from all that data and respond with an answer of sorts--not a list of references. I think one huge improvement would be making these systems more explainable. So getting a certain response, you can also see the thousands of references that were used to generate that response. That would help a lot in providing transparency in whether there is plagiarism happening, and also just be an immensely useful tool for humanity and the internet. It feels like the next logical step for the internet. I would even say it feels like the internet was built for this!

I think this comment gets to much negativity. Yes, this is often not a good approach. But it can be one tool in your toolbox that can get you unstuck when nothing else seems to work.
Thanks for the work you’re doing — though it’s mostly too late for me, good to know that people are putting a lot of thought into these questions.

The sense I have got from my experience is that OCaml is a great language for people who are slightly less error-prone than I am.

My style of coding is to write a lot of slightly dodgy code in one breath, then use the typechecker to tell me all the things I got wrong. Even in a language I’m very familiar in there’s still a lot of trial and error.

OCaml currently seems great for people who are better at getting it mostly-right first time — I’ve seen a lot of OCaml code written by people with PhDs and backgrounds in type theory. Most other languages don’t have that sort of academic pedigree.

When will be the time no one wants an asset that's not centrally controlled?

People say crypto has no intrinsic value but its uncontrollable existence is the value itself.

Upon reading the supreme court's Dobbs v. Jackson Decision, I was quite intrigued by its meticulous, book-like typesetting. Intrigued as I am, I inspected the file properties in Acrobat Reader, it only tells it was created using Acrobat Distiller. Interesting, I was expecting LaTeX or InDesign. Nevertheless, the beautiful typesetting make me want to read the whole thing.

The linked article answers many questions of mine. It provide a wonderful context on typesetting in other courts. It is good, and also not surprised to know that "best-designed court opinions" is produced by the supreme court. It is also good to know that "Times New Roman is forbidden" in supreme court.

The supreme court's opinion looks better than Congress documents as well.
