The world doesn't deserve world war. But Russia does.

Russia has committed the supreme international crime, twice. These are invitations to world war, that's a central determination of Nuremberg trials, why we have the U.N., Geneva Convention, both of which Russia is a party to, and torn up along with the Budapest Memorandum.

There's is no one to negotiate with. We can't trust Russia to stick to any agreements. Any agreements is a delay.

Since all roads lead to world war, the ensuing cognitive dissonance produces hope it can be delayed, while strangling Russia economically, at the expense of Ukraine. Ukraine's future is put on hold indefinitely as the world settles for "none of the above" violating their obligations under Article 2(5) of the UN Charter. And that really is because the world is weak and selfish, not living up to international responsibilities we learned, but now have forgotten, from the previous world wars.

So maybe it's not true the world doesn't deserve another. You forget the lesson of tyranny and give it a chance... you pay the price.

Never expose Jenkins to the public internet, make sure it's via VPN. If you need webhooks, there are services for that which allow you to broker webhooks whilst calling in from the Jenkins side (i.e. not exposing ports). Even so if you do have to use native webhooks, at least lock it down to the upstream's IP range(s).

Ideally have a dev jenkins to test all the things first before hitting upgrade on your prod instance and killing some plugins (hell even better if it's all IaaC and can just spin up a jenkins host per env, but ££$$$££/Time etc)
Yeah it's the nation-state equivalent of owning a gun.
Sharp's Memory LCD comes pretty close. It's a high contrast LCD with a reflective back layer that mimics paper and has very low power consumption. But I believe it's only available on small sizes, and it's a one-bit display (no greyscale).

This screen is used in Panic's Playdate game console as well as the Pebble smartwatch.

Keynote has great transitions and appearance the interface for the iWork suite is pretty intuitive and easy to use.

Steve Jobs presentations always made use of it.

But I gotta admit PowerPoint has come a long way and has a ton of great features these days too. Eg it can actually.l design slides for you, quite tastefully on the new 365 version.
I second weight resistance training but emphasizing “powerlifting” probably isn’t the best initial or long term approach.

Find a good trainer (there are A LOT of bad trainers out there) and start working through a routine with simple movements (literally hinge movements).

I’ve been lifting weights for almost my entire life with supervision and coaching by trainers that are former NCAA athletes and Army Special Forces (Green Berets) and I’m still not completely comfortable with complex movements approaching any challenging weight.

I’ve drastically increased strength, avoided plateaus, benefited from increased focus, emphasis on diet, higher resting metabolic rate and the resulting body fat composition benefits while not experiencing a single injury.

Injuries are devastating, especially for beginners and even more so for beginners starting later in life.

Speaking of injuries, I’d question starting with CrossFit as has been mentioned by others in this thread. Like trainers there are a lot of bad “boxes” out there and until you learn the basics and your limitations I’ve been to many CrossFit gyms where the experience, fitness level, and routines have been downright terrifying to witness. I’m convinced that many of the horrors I’ve seen have resulted in people suffering debilitating injuries. Having a beginner fresh off the “couch” be encouraged to stack up weight while doing their first ever snatch (or whatever) is criminal IMO.

Also - remember your heart! I run a 5k (in intervals) at least once a week to not only make sure I can still do it but also to experience the resulting benefits from what is essentially HIIT training. I also believe that as humans running is essentially in our DNA (as bad as the mechanics are - knees, etc). Of course this is another aspect to work on in terms of technique and equipment (shoes).

There are also ways to do HIIT combined with low to moderate resistance training but that’s a bit more involved.
You understand correctly. (Source: 20 years of asic design)
In general there is no single reason for our success.

Some argue sweating, others that we outsourced digestion (fire cooked food), others that we are bipedal, ... not to mention later stuff like language/intelligence.
Awesome, I saw a ping about it on the Discord for Nim, I'm probably going to be buying this. Nim hits a sweet spot for me as someone who did Python full time but yearns for something that just compiles natively. I'm fairly impressed with Nim.
I don't consider START or INF to be progress, it's pretty much an attempt to "prop up" the untenable nature of MAD theory (which, as you point out, completely disregards salami tactics, for instance). It's better but not much.

I disagree with the idea that if everyone has a gun, the world is more stable (with respect to gun use) than if nobody has a gun. We see something similar play out in mass shootings in the U.S compared to other countries.

I also don't think we can't, with diplomatic effort, put genie back to bottle. I think we owe it to future generations to try.

NATO is expanding to Finland and Sweden (which was actually considering to sign nuclear weapon ban), not to mention earlier expansion. They are part of the problem (NATO is pretty much designed as a nuclear pact). There is plenty of countries without nuclear weapons or umbrella and doing just fine.

The most obvious (capitalist) application would be to use the data to build AI "creators". Some of these real people make good money as influencers. And if TikTok could use computers to generate influencers, they could seriously cash in.

The military applications of this tech would be to stir up decent or manufacture outrage in a country for political gains.

Or maybe both. Selling military tech to other countries is a good way to make money too.
When I lived in SF, I really enjoyed taking the Muni 76X express bus from downtown SF across the Golden Gate Bridge to Muir Woods. It only runs on the weekends, but that's not the bridge's fault.
The situation in the US is not without valid criticism , but it is not even close to comparable with the legal environment in China. The US has a judicial branch that frequently operates at odds against its own executive branch, by design.
I don’t like TikTok so I don’t use it. How does it impact my security when nobody I know or associate with uses it?

It’s like drugs. I’m pro drug legalization but I’m not interested in using them just because it’s legal.
it's more like how far the guy goes. Admittedly, an auto test is quite above the average :-) I've never put someone aside because of that.

Production grade code is, in a big part, a matter of good habits. There's no reason those habits can't show up during a test. Especially when the test is very easy.
I think there is a lot of room for competition in the accelerator space e.g. GPUs, ML inference engines, video encode/decode.

It seems to me like modern core design is expensive and high risk/low reward for most of these companies. Remember, Apple has a ton of R&D and the margins to put massive cores into just about everything they sell, upto and including putting a CPU faster than most desktops into their "budget" monitor. Fabbing costs keep going up and the extra revenue from larger+faster CPUs would get gobbled up by TSMC and Samsung Fab. Setting out to build something faster at the same size and R&D is what eats your profit.

For Qualcomm, Samsung, Google (for Pixel at least), and NVidia, ARMs balance of performance/die size/efficiency is aligned well with their market positions and the opportunity cost of rolling their own is just too high even in the face of thinning margins from competition.
GitLab CI is definitely competitive with GitHub Actions. What's the specific feature set you're missing? "Polish" is pretty vague, especially in the context of a post that laments GitHub Actions' poor uptime record.

> I feel like you could write this sentence at almost any point in modern history.

I think so. And I think that most cultural innovations fail the fertility test. This isn't a new phenomenon.

> Worked for whom exactly? Almost laughable how people from different backgrounds would have a VERY different opinion on this. Basically any minority, whether that be gender, racial, or religious among other oppressed groups.

I am merely making the argument that conservative approaches to societal structures, regardless of the specific values, tend to more tried and true as they have been around a long time. Basically if a societal structure is old, it has likely passed the fertility test.

New structures of society I think often do not pass the fertility test and thus can be more temporary and slowly die off and are replaced by more conservative structures which do.

> If political philosophies care at all about fertility they better start looking at it holistically and not purely from a breeding standpoint, because otherwise people will wise up to being treated like birth & labor livestock.

Yes, this is a good point. I think that modern day liberalism is sort of facing a reckoning here with fertility. And I fear it may not pass the test. And we will see Western liberalism start to decay as more conservative branches of society start to out number it and proclaim that this brand of liberalism philosophy has failed - you can see this in a lot of conservative messaging. I mention this because it is something I can see happening, not because I want it to happen.
This seems interesting, but I'll admit I'd prefer to read a more recent analysis -- a few decades of extra data have to be useful in terms of picking out significant factors.
I’m not sure what you mean by 80% developers, but I am generally cautious on developers who are seen as uber productive. I worked with one in the past, and they would blow through so much code. It amazed everyone else, but they left a literal wake in the code. It was just a gigantic mess when you dove into it that wasted so much time down the road in onboarding others, refactoring it, maintaining it, etc.
Yes, you should follow best practices and isolate each job to the smallest task possible (and then reuse components). We have this functionality in 2 flavors, you can define hooks as part of your pipelines(https://docs.ploomber.io/en/latest/api/spec.html#id2), in addition you can define this dependency as part of your jobs DAG (https://docs.ploomber.io/en/latest/get-started/basic-concept...), e.g get the data, clean it, train the model and test it.
Just to clear things up: Joseph Redmon (who made the first YOLO) has anointed Alexey Bochkovskiy as the keeper of the flame [1]. Alexey is a very careful researcher and does a ton of performance evaluation on his models. His results are to be trusted.

He gave a great talk at the London Machine Learning Meetup in April, if you’re interested [2]. (Full disclosure: I run the meetup)

As it happens, there were some (now very obscure) attempts to replicate it. They failed. I cover (and jailbreak) them in my criticism of Mouse Utopia: https://www.gwern.net/Mouse-Utopia

OP is a bad writeup. He should be ashamed to write such an uncritical piece which says nothing you wouldn't find in either the Down The Rabbithole YouTube video (which seems to be patient zero for the resurrection of the Mouse Utopia myth) or the Wikipedia entry. The problem with Mouse Utopia is not that it has been interpreted in different ways by later pundits, but that it's probably bullshit to begin with. (How thoughtless do you have to be to note that it was the 25th experiment in a very long series of them before/after the behavioral sink experiment, and then not immediately wonder WTF happened in the >24 other experiments and then wonder why you can't find any information about any of them?)
Sadly the EU Commission has a huge history of revolving door compensation for its officials and there seems to be no inclination to change this.

While it is different these days, an EU position itself used to be seen as a 'fin de carrière' (pre-retirement) financial bonus for national politicians, coasting out of public life while receiving an (in their eyes) earned sweet deal for years of laboring in the national political trenches.
I do, and I have. That said, the extremely-predictable "what-about-western-media" tu quoque that occurs anytime someone leverages a criticism towards any Second World nations is as tired of a counter-propaganda strategy as the propaganda it's used to deflect attention from.

Edit: just noticed that you're a self-proclaimed 50 Cent Army member. It's all making sense now - you're an actual propagandist. For anyone curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Cent_Party
I'm from Seattle and have zero sympathy for these people and their manufactured outrage. What the article fails to tell you is the housing market here is so insane they were probably in a bidding war with 50 other couples, which would happen even if the property was a dilapidated hovel with no internet and a family of bowtie-wearing rats living in the crawl space. People are plunking down $1M+ and waiving inspection. Madness. So adequate Comcast service probably falls lower on the list than other questions such as "will the roof cave in on us?" Beggars can't be choosers after all.

That said, there are plenty of options. Seattle has pretty reliable 5G coverage through T-Mobile who will sell you home internet now. CenturyLink fiber in some neighborhoods. Starlink. Yes the landline internet situation here is abysmal - parts of West Seattle are still on 512K DSL last I recall, but the point is you have options. Comcast isn't the only game in town anymore (and in fact is not the lone cable provider in all city neighborhoods).

Stop whining and climb up on the roof and mount an LTE antenna like people in rural communities do. Just hope your foot doesn't go through because the wood's probably all rotted in that mid-century bungalow you just spent $950k on. Comcast bad, whatever. I can't believe I'm taking their side on this.
The problem is this is happening somewhere in many many cities in the country and it all adds up.

So many trucks in my town obviously going around with highly bypassed exhaust now and there's no enforcement so they get away with making life toxic for everyone else. Many states don't even have inspection anymore and even if they did they just switch it off.
Greece may allow free choice of routers for most connections. Why not for fiber?
That's right. This button shouldn't be green. But it's not just that the actions aren't running but their service that reports that actions exist must be down too. That is a bad design. They should still report that the actions exist even if they can't run them. This PR button shouldn't be green/pressable.
Nuclear power is too expensive and takes too long to build.

Renewables + storage is about 1/3 the price of nuclear and a new plant can go from proposal to delivering power in under 2 years. Nuclear takes more than 20 years.

I'd rather have 3x as much CO2 reduction per dollar 2 years from now than 1x as much 20 years from now.

Even as little as 5 years ago nuclear was a good choice. But renewables and storage have overtaken it.
Oh and the Bhagavad Gita hits this too. "Thou hast power only to act, not over the result thereof. Act thou therefore without prospect of the result, and without succumbing to inaction." Really this is a universal that every philosophy has to speak to. It's really interesting.
This is a conspiracy theory, scientific consensus is that it will have devastating effects
> A developer leaving the company is not responsible for a successful handover or that the documentation is correct.

But if the handover was unsuccessful, it can call into question the skills of that developer. I mean, instead of being a "10x" developer, maybe they were actually a 1x developer that look a lot of shortcuts and wrote unmaintainable spaghetti code (or somewhere in between). Maybe they were someone who hoarded domain knowledge and refused to share it. In any case, the employer didn't realize the claimed value of that employee's work.
While water desalination obviously is a workload that can be shifted in time to optimally use surplus solar energy, i wonder what other industries could serve that role in other locations.
Electronics helped in getting the kids outside more. They have more freedom and independence and we can keep track of them and get in touch with them when needed.

We also set their iPhones with a green "Uber" iOS Shortcut button that they can press and it will auto-text us a "Pick me up", along with the address and lat/lng of their location.

We have another red "SOS" button that does the same and triggers a different response.
If you're absolving an apprenticeship as a (print) media designer you'll learn that line-height for long(er) text should be somewhere between 120% and 160% of the font-size.

This ensures that your eyes/brain can easily distinct between two lines and "hop" along. The upper limit ensures that you won't lose track of the line because two lines are too far away from each other.

Line length limit comes from this, too. It's hard work for the brain to save a line you just read, jump back to the start of the next line and continue. Short (but not too short!) lines help with that, too.

Paragraph margins are historically based on blank lines, so you can adapt that for your digital text, too and use margin-bottom: 1em or sth. like that (better use the line-height value for the margi, so you include that space, too).

Rules like these obviously date back to the print age, as there are several types of reading (more technical "ways to obtain the information") defined and refered to in "design rules".

You'll "read" a large poster different than a dictionary which is why you can/should deviate from these rules, depending on the setting.

Headlines for example don't need a line-height of 160% but will often work very well with 120% or even smaller. There are no strict rules but more guidelines, so you'll have to develop a sense and feel for that.

Other design rules and their implications play a role, too. Contrast of text to background, phenomena of large color areas, stroke-width of the font and lots of more.

For web typo with I am personally using sans-serif fonts with a larger font-size. Even with wider layouts this helps with getting shorter lines, slightly larger typo improves readability, more line-height reduces the "wall of text" effect, paragraph margins help to distinct different parts of text from each other.

There should be good beginners literature available if you find this interesting.

Also: Try fiddling with the etzh.ch page. Set the line-height to 1.2 and the font-size to 1 rem and you'll immediately see how not to do it. :-D

>The modern world can’t run on renewables alone. It’s impossible.

Also true for nuclear.
From what I'm beginning to realize more and more is that the central problem in humans is the mind: the constant intrusions of random thoughts, generating self-conflicts based on past remembrances which are also projected in the future.

Your mind is obviously out of control: if you had your mind under full control you would be able to sit for 1 hour in a dark room and had zero intrusive/distracting thoughts. And yet if you try this you might last a few minutes but then you'll start to fantasize and get lost in future/past images and you won't even notice when you got sucked into them, it happens so automatic, without one noticing it.

So thus the question becomes: how can one deal with this? What needs to be done/seen for one to overcome these random thoughts?

I'm exploring this now through Krishnamurti. There are many Buddhist monks, but how many of them reach enlightment? Practicaly zero, so obviously they are doing something very, very wrong.
Gitlab IMHO is definitely in parity, if not better. I've had loads of success with it at a few places now, using basic stuff right up to full Autodevops with custom buildpacks for Elixir/Pheonix.
Every year, I use `cal` to generate the calendar like this for the year, paste that into word and do some minor formatting (dim weekends and holidays, bold paydays) and print it and put it on my office wall. I reference it all the time just to re-orient myself to where I am in the month/year, etc.
Nah that would be more like the standard armed forces, This is like owning a trigger to a pile of TNT under every house in town that you'll detonate if anyone decides to break into your house.
> gas imports

And, all the while being a major electricity exporter itself (towards e.g Poland), Germany also depends heavily on electricity imports from... France's nuclear generators.

https://www.nsenergybusiness.com/features/electricity-export...

TIL that Germany's inroads into green electricity production is more or less offset by its electricity exporting economy.

Also Germany was a major exporter of reprocessable nuclear waste towards France (2nd place with 17% in reprocessed material at la Hague, 1st being France with 70%). That's old data though, IIRC they shut down 3 reactors (out of 6) since, the three remaining ones were due to shutdown this year but this is being reconsidered because gas x Ukraine.

Counterpoint though is the fact that you see heavy traffic on it is testament to its role in encouraging car culture
Here's what I've noticed in my career so far. It's difficult if not impossible to assign an actual concrete value to programmer productivity. This makes it difficult to compare programmers side by side and assign a true value to each of them. Some companies rank developers but it's done subjectively. This fuzziness allows businesses to not pay fairly for extreme productivity (and conversely, forces them to pay too much for crappy productivity). Usually at any company there are one or more 10x programmers who do most of the work and a ton of mediocre developers.
Exactly, that was my point. It's not that the engineer simply coded better than 19 other people together could, it's that other factors came into play. If the intent was to portray they are just a 19x developer... I know I'd have some questions...
