USSR built Kabul Polytechnic University and taught teachers that later worked there. It also was building industry where graduates would work.

Current approaches have already given us GPT3 (people on HN are still mostly unaware how much GPT3 is tested here and are unable to discern the difference), DALLE, and Copilot. 15 years is quick, and 15 years ago there were no iPhones. If you look at the computing and societal shift in the last 15 years, it will be scarcely imaginable what 30 years will bring.

they're basically glorified salespeople. they would only reply to you if they thought there was quick money to be made.
I don't find these analogies compelling at all:

> whip /f/ the butter /x/, then whip the result while adding sugar /y/

That's not a valid explanation, since curried functions don't "act" until they've got all their arguments; i.e. we do not whip any butter until the sugar has been added.

> shape the cookies /x/ on a tray first /g/, then bake them /f/

Whilst this is accurrate, I think introducing a notion of time ("then") makes things much harder than they need to be. (That's one reason I find imperative programs hard to understand)
That doesn't mean it isn't true. OkCupid used to publish all sorts of interesting data before they were bought by Match, including similar statistics to those.

It seems to be a tiny battery operated, small fan cooled peltier device. Don't expect much from it.

In fact, it might work better if you remove the peltier device and battery and just direct the fan to blow across the nape of your neck.
> This is what happens when the purchasing decisions are divorced from those who actually use the product - no incentive to improve on the Microsoft side (for basically all their products).

If there was a way to sum up Microsoft's entire business model, this is it. Azure is a major player because they know how to sell to the C-suite.
“it was open for use by the public”

The ruling makes clear a company town is not a private forum. One thing that separates that company town or shopping mall from say a private resort is the requirements for access. Cruse ships, aircraft, etc default deny entry making them less public spaces.

Beyond that, a private home can deny access based on skin color while a bed and breakfast can’t. That same bed and breakfast could however deny access because a customer is rude.
Things will be shaken up, the way they were when the steam engine was invented. But there's no reason to believe we're headed for a dystopic future.

The result of this development and the underlying trend is vastly increased wealth creation. That's a good thing. You'd have to be a luddite to think otherwise.

Read e.g. https://moores.samaltman.com/, where Sam Altman (OpenAI CEO) suggests a scheme for wealth taxation that gives everyone direct ownership of the AI-created wealth and the machinery to make it.

I'm pretty confident that there would be strong democratic support for a scheme along these lines, given how few are able to participate in the highest echelons of the wealth creation in the kind of AI-driven society that will happen before AI becomes truly autonomous.

> IMO this is the biggest problem. And, indeed, teachers will take even lower pay to be in a private school situation with a parent community and student community that values education.

Lots of private schools pay worse than public schools, true, and do indeed draw teachers who are decent-to-good but sick of putting up with public school admin and parent bullshit—for reasons that are obvious if you think about it, but perhaps not intuitively obvious, private schools are less beholden to any one parent than public schools are, and are much better positioned to firmly tell them "no"—but once you start to get into actually-good private school territory[0] pay and appreciation (and to a some extent social status, at least within a certain circle) match or beat area public schools, typically.

[0] A very high percentage of private schools are not good, though—"how can that be? How do they keep getting enough students to stay open, in a competitive market that includes 'free' as an option?"—politics and religion, is the answer, and they can under-perform on academics year after year as long as they're delivering the message the parents want on those fronts. Incidentally, the teachers these schools draw with their lower pay aren't always leaving public education over legitimate bullshit, but often over perceived bullshit like "they wouldn't let me talk about Jesus as much as I'd like", and these are usually not good ones that the public schools are losing to private schools, but ones who we'd want to leave public education.
I'm wondering if it would make sense to use io_uring for this kind of thing. If not, why not?
Sorry, no. From a technical standpoint it's ridiculous. If there's even a minimal amount of error checking, a failed update would be akin to a shotgun blast, not a laser beam. Is it theoretically possible for it to cause just one highly specific problem? Yeah, but extremely unlikely. And its only "an easy check" _for the supporting engineer_. For the customer it's very inconvenient, and is very transparently just busywork to make the customer go away for a while.

Speaking from my own management experience, it's OK for me not to understand a technical issue as well as the person I've made responsible for a task. But you have to have complete trust in their judgement and "communication accuracy." Free advice--take a good hard look at what else you've been told. I'm not saying someone is deliberately lying, but pressure and skill shortcomings can lead to untrue statements.

You might also take a good hard look at what you've said and done. You get lots of points for directly speaking with customers in this forum. But it doesn't sound as if the technical side is your wheelhouse (which is OK, that's not what your job is), and you may be having "hair on fire" issues. That can very easily lead to making decisions and demands which are impossible for your team to fulfill, or lead them to making risky technical choices. A startup "failure is not an option" or "go big or go home" or "YOLO" mentality can easily go overboard can make it impossible for them communicate the true situtation to you _or even to themselves_.

money laundering laws in germany require banks to verify every transfer above 1000 euro.

i believe the rules are similar across the EU.

what's unclear is how that relates to cryptocurrency. does the source of the cryptocurrency have to be verified, or just the source of the fiat currency when cryptocurrency is sold for?
Buckthorn in the US is very resilient, crowds out other species of both undergrowth and trees, and is a host to a number of pests such as aphids and fungi which will then attack crops and native species.

You can't simply cut it down, it requires a nasty chemical applied to the stump, or to be completely pulled out by the roots. They grow tightly packed together, so clearing out even a small area is best done with a team of people.
Krebs has generally great content, but how the Ubiquiti situation was handled really rubbed me the wrong way. Krebs made a mistake, trusting a source that ended up being the malicious party. However Krebs never owned up to it. Never issued an apology or admitted his frankly scathing posts about Ubiquiti were inaccurate or at best incomplete. It’s unfortunately a common theme these days in media.
thanks I really appreciate that
It's basically the browser's developer's DOM view before it existed.
Because it was broadcast to your iPod. Where iPod means a non-networked personal media player which in the 00s overwhelmingly meant an iPod.

The distribution model was a client subscribes to the RSS feed on their computer, downloads new episodes (from the publisher's website), and then syncs them when the "iPod" is synced to the computer. Many PMPs but the iPod especially defaulted to syncing your computer library when plugged in (to charge). So the iPod just received no episodes of podcasts when people plugged them in to charge at the end of the day.

When iTunes added explicit podcast support it became even easier to subscribe and sync podcasts. This was and remains a good distribution model but Spotify et al have done their damnedest to co-opt the term to mean content exclusive to their platform.
I have nothing really useful to add to this thread, but I just wanted to declare "trying to wrestle a shoe onto a goose" is an incredible analogy.
It certainly has that feel... that you can make statements (express constraints) about a given configuration item — in any order — and the final result falls out (having satisfied all constraints or "errors").
> Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

> In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

To be fair, it is actually logical possible that the universe was only booted into existence with a 13+ billion year backstory some 10 thousand years ago, just as eventually we might construct such a universe simulation running on our own technology at some point in the future (making us the Gods of said universe's inhabitants).
You should forget both, and give Obsidian a spin. No turning back.
Typical Microsoft. Using their shit is like riding a schizophrenic donkey. I have been burned tens of times over the years and stuck with deprecated products and frameworks that were the official supported way of doing stuff on their platforms.
I guess this is one of many ways to improve it, I can still give my reasoning:

With the current setup you don't have any setup. You don't need an account, you can just start.

As I wrote above, trying to minimize all of the friction, this was easy to implement and made sense.

How would you imagine the cloud storage feature?
They said stuff before and after that sentence too. The gist of the parent's argument is that the head of the human race should be a God, not a human. That can only be classified as a religious statement.
I have only noticed that on spotify, but, without a spotify subscription, I hate it. I have had several podcasts I used to listen to move to spotify-only.

(I actually still listen to them on an Apple iPod nano....)

I could believe it being true of some of other platforms, trying to have "our-platform-only" content but I haven't seen it and am not finding confirmation. I don't think it's true of Google Podcasts, that they have any of their own content.

My firm is investing quite a lot of money / time / effort in our Azure infrastructure for relatively large and complex models (financial models with up to 10k cores; nothing very fancy just lots math and lots of customers). Our engineers are capable, they seem happy with the stack and we actually get pretty solid support from Microsoft. We ran into several Azure-specific bugs in the last few years which get timely triage, quick fixes within hours and solutions within weeks. We’re probably overpaying and have been Microsoft-centric for the decade I’m with the firm, so the local relationship is probably excellent. All in all it’s a lot more affordable than the license fees for niche supplier software we were using before. Point being it’s relative cost and engineer satisfaction that matter more than the last few million in costs.
Of course it's okay for languages to evolve, but here's how you're missing the point:

Imagine that shortly after the turn of the century, Adobe created a proprietary platform for delivering internet content and called it the "web". Viewers must use Adobe Web Reader to use Adobe "web pages", which are DRM-protected PDF files delivered using proprietary protocols. Adobe has done deals with several hundred popular sites to turn off their standards-based websites and deliver Adobe websites exclusively.

This is what Spotify and others are doing, and nobody cares. Apple is effectively the last media giant left holding the flag for standards-based podcasting, but how long do we think that will last?
This survey questions seems poorly designed. All three answers have strong opinions tied to them and a multitude of possibilities are not covered. E.G. evolution happened, but there's no proof of any direction || belief there's no god || aliens visited earth || a supernatural being (god) nudged things || god did it all at once.
If this is true, TFA is presenting false / incorrect information. They listed "Great Britain" as "available on-demand except for fetal abnormalities or mental health issues".

They’re the same asshats. With a thin layer of marketing veneer over the top, telemetry underneath all floating on a vat of poor testing, poor delivery and poor quality.

I had a defect open for 9 years on connect that affected 20,000 users. Couldn’t pay them to fix it even as a gold partner. Now they just abandon all their shit in GitHub instead and sell you a subscription to be served up ash and beer dregs while reminding you that they love Linux and open source while trying to get leverage and replace whole chunks of it with their bananas ecosystem.

"The stuff I really care about (like climate issues), nobody is gonna hire me to do. " - writing from the UK where its been 37C today and is expected 40C tomorrow, I'd argue, yes people will pay you, and please do this! ;). Seems to me now, anything to do with using less fuel / energy, making heat pumps more efficient, carbon capture etc, is something people will increasingly pay for. The price of heating gas with the war in Ukraine is making alternative energy look much more worthwhile so other tech can be profitable. As for freedom or financial stability, I've achieved a reasonable compromise with a little frugality. Ys I have to work for someone else, however its public sector with a decent mission and nice colleagues. Sure I could get more money elsewhere but not worth it. I'd argue in our industry most people can achieve this eventually (so long as not living in very high house price area of course)
Yes, the number of comparable & overlapping offerings in AWS is very confusing to someone not fully immersed in it for years and years.

There isn't exactly clear comparison matrices or design trees on why you would use one service over the other. It really just feels like 100s of different services that were built for different specific end users and then slowly grown into overlapping offerings.

It's worse in big corporate, and especially financial settings as only certain flavors of certain services will get the cyber/infosec blessing. Then you have vendor products you want to use in AWS which only support certain flavors of those same service types as well.

So we end up having to bang heads against walls to actually get internal cyber&external vendor onto same page. If the product touches several service types (containers/storage/database/etc) then you have to make sure they can all be strung together in an approved compatible fashion.

In the old days a vendor could say they support x86 Linux, and you knew you'd more likely than not be able to install their software. Now you have to go many layers deeper than "we support AWS" to understand if its actually going to work or not, sometimes with multi-week POCs.
Kudos for using some sort of preexisting standard rather than pointlessly developing your own.
I think there's some confusion over the terms graphic design, art, and image generation, which are somewhat overlapping but distinct fields. Dalle-2 doesn't really do graphic design, but a future version of it might.

Consider the case of drinking or drugs to the point of waking up not remembering what happened the night before.

And then consider people who, knowing very well that they are going to be in a state of mind where they will do things that they will not remember the next day, still choose to do it.

To me this is even crazier than mind uploading. They are lending their body to someone with which they don't have stream continuity.
All religions hate atheism more than they hate each other.
The other thing that happens is domain squatting.

A lot of cloud services (not just Azure, but certainly in Azure) are assigned a globally unique resource name, which also gets assigned a DNS name.

Domain squatters can walk the domain to find these services and keep an eye for if they lapse. (Sometimes this happens if a service needs to be recreated due to upgrade)

What a malicious user can do during that maintenance is trigger a deploy of the same service name now that it's available and snap it up. They can either shut down the VM or scale down the service to be sitting there and not costing them anything, and see if they can extract payment from their victim to release the domain (which might be hard coded somewhere). Worse yet, they could leave it as is and try and see what interesting traffic starts coming in and tinker with it.
To be fair, I don't think your posts are making the distinction between A B and C.

I would say A and C are both reasonable. To get higher performance out of existing candidates, you would need a metric for performance... I am unfortunately not aware of one that is robust enough to be used.
You do have to be aware of Redis' limits. But for most sites, "people paying at the moment" is well within them. And Redis is the easiest solution to implement from scratch.

That said, if you're deployed in a cloud, look up cloud specific messaging services. Specifically AWS SNS, Google PubSub and Azure Web PubSub. But the pattern remains the same. The webhook publishes to the PubSub which finds the other end of the websocket which sends information to the client that does something with it.
Permutation City did this well. It outlined how the super wealthy would become ostensibly immortal and then use propaganda to convince the masses that accepting uploaded people was a civil rights movement. Most of the people here are of the "I fucking love science" pseudo-intellectual tribe, with no knowledge that they are pawns of the corporate powers that control their views and very minds. Keep fighting the good fight, just know that the mob of dimwits acting on behalf of their owners will always be more vitriolic and lash out more than those who give the marching orders. You can't stop the horde from being dumb barbaric cultists, but you are not alone in seeing through the guise of all this "acceptance" ideology.
>"Tough times mean brittle impoverished societies with weak armies that crumble easily. Easy times (prosperous, politically stable societies) are what creates strong armies."

I believe a counterpoint to this are armies such as the Viet Cong, and especially the Taliban.
Strange names also help hiding the semi-duplicate products.
In the UK, ground source heat pumps are fairly common.

I'm leaning more towards PV panels on the roof to offset the AC.

It's the UK, I'd actually need to use the AC maybe 20-30 days a year for a few hours and maybe an hour a day in the summer just to get the temp down before bed.

PV panels would easily offset that.

Azure is really big outside the US and the EU. In LATAM, they practically have a monopoly, so much so that governments use them exclusively. They have a thight grip on that front and I'm willing to bet that shady things are happening to a lower extent.

Heck, country managers from a big European company were conducting all sort of dealings with local companies under the table. They were discovered and of course they were cancelled but by that time they were rich and didn't care.
In addition to what ipqk said, a large amount of deforestation is for growing soy. Approximately 77% of global soy production [2] is used for producing animal feed. It's much more environmentally friendly to just get eat soy directly, rather than eat meat, because animals are very inefficient at converting food they eat to food that people can eat [2].
