If I’m working a job where I really need performance, I try my hardest to get a desktop. The last 20 years of hardware development has not replaced the workstation for even light computational workloads.

My biggest frustration with remote work so far is the corporate fixation with laptops. For some types of work, performance isn’t just a convenience, but weeks of lost productivity. If the difference between the 11th and 12th generation of Intel in your laptop really moves the needle for you, you’re using the wrong form factor to do your work.
What makes you say journalists have an axe to grind against Facebook? If anything, I think they spent more than a decade being too generous to Facebook, and even now are overly credulous a lot of the time.
The beta is publicly available now, everyone has to pay tho
As someone who actually was working in excavation for internet... well, some points to unpack here:

- You don't hire your own workers to dig trenches as an ISP, you sub-contract that stuff out to contractors - they can spread out the cost of, say, a backhoe not over the one year or two you need to build out a district's fiber, but over twenty years.

- Other underground stuff isn't much of an issue in rural areas - you have the central map register of the district which shows exactly where active lines are, and there aren't many. Usually it's the 10 kV/220V electricity line, water mains and the huge POTS cable. Sewers in most cases aren't much of a concern as they tend to be built very deep (here in Germany, minimum 100cm below ground level, and usually it's more like 2-3 meters). In rural areas you can usually get away with shooting a mole through the ground or a plough for a trench that a following tractor immediately closes after the pipe is laid in.

- That pipe or whatever you're building out underground can last literally for decades. POTS cable in many cases is over fifty years old, personally I have seen stuff that was covered in clay protection plates with swastikas meaning it was well over 70 years old. At 50 years, the life time earning of a connection is 33.000$.

- Governments usually subsidize the cost because broadband is an extremely net-positive investment. Assume a small village of 100 people gets broadband Internet uplink - now a small company moves into some farmer's shed because the rent is cheap and now pays tens of thousands a year in corporate and employment taxes.
I agree that often brands take advantage of their goodwill and take white label products and brand them as their own.

One very popular product was subcompact cars in the '80s when GM, Ford, etc., needed something to offer in a segment they had no expertise in or manufacturing capacity, so they had third string Japanese and S Korean MFs pump out stuff and rebadge them as their own. Often these rebranded Daihatsus, Ssanyang, etc., sucked... but so did Chevy and GM in many respects anyway.

That said, if a brand is quality conscious and can filter on our behalf, I don't see the problem. A perfect example is Apple. They have someone MFG their designs to spec and we receive a quality product.
Oh yeah, I use Mint for the same. It's really fun watching my cost-cutting measures getting eaten alive by inflation in real-time :) I also find myself slowly sliding down Maslow's hierarchy. I used to be focused on achieving my dream job, now I'm strongly considering work I don't like because it pays more (being the sole income for my family is a major factor there as well). "Good enough pay for awesome work" is not a viable objective at the moment. And I'm lucky to even have that option.

Something's got to give. Thankfully we're starting to see some actual government investment in US industry for the first time in forever, but it'll take years for any results to bring down prices.
Craftsman never manufactured their own things, it was always contracted out. So long as DeWalt is fine with the quality and supports the product I don’t see the difference
Not when he lacks the understanding his C code is plain valid C++ code as well.

He could have avoided writing all that nonsense by using a C++ compiler on his "C" code with 100% the same machine code being generated.
Intelligence is in the network
That suggests to me that he was turning over rocks that were not expected to be turned over. I leave it to the open source community to fork his code and continue the work. If nothing else it shows me that there are a myriad of undocumented tools in the CPU that could be used by anyone that has the patience to enumerate them.
Jared is not a rando who built an ISP. He is someone who forgot more about networking and running NSPs than most people know.
I can believe that this particular case wasn't Meta being nefarious and trying to get specific people in trouble over a possible abortion. But I don't think that was ever the real concern here.

The press release only enforces my concern about how easy it seems for governments to get private conversations between a mother and daughter. Also that apparently Facebook stores the conversations in plain (or easily decryptable) text.
Not sure if it means that the drug is more effective than other PD1/L1 inhibitors or pharma companies simply learned how to better select their clinical trial participants to optimize the outcomes ...
Honestly, I don't know. Incitement is already a crime in many scenarios but I think there is a relatively clean line between what might be called free speech like "I hate women" and incitement or 'hate speech' like "We should kill women".

We should accept that there are very vulnerable people who can't distinguish clearly between "he said that but I won't do it because it's wrong" and "yes, we should do that thing because you suggested it"

I don't think he was necessarily wrong with The End Of History, (un)-ironically historical events weren't on his side. What would have replaced "The War On Terror" if 9/11 doesn't happen? What does China look like if someone less hard-liner than Xi Jinping replaced Hu Jintao? What if Russia's second war in Chechnya lasted a hard 10 years and Putin is pushed out? We could make a huge list of counterfactuals like these.

That being said, the problem with Fukuyama is that for all intents and purposes, forecasting the future in terms of grand narratives is impossible to do accurately.
Maybe, and I could see this for top 1% people but I'm not that smart :)
For me its a time management thing, I am unable to figure out how to manage time for my own activities between looking after kids, working remote and just sitting around wasting time.
here’s a biased media outlet that may meet your standards

If you think it is a good thing to obey the state's abortion laws, then yes it is a good for violating messages to be reported to law enforcement.

The question I think you meant to ask if it is a good thing for companies to obey the state.
I've been copied before but never quite like this
The two biggest direct components to inflation are energy and housing. We have a slightly distorted picture here because the prices for both of these were in a slump during the pandemic. Moratoriums, less travel, less commuting, that sort of thing. So part of this is a reversion to mean.

But on top of that we've had a genuine demand shock as everyone has decided this year to travel. This might've been fine had the companies taken the Covid relief funds and not laid off staff like they were supposed to but they didn't. And they refuse to now pay market rates.

Reminder: there is no such thing as a labor shortage. There are only under-market wages.

But what we've had is this spike in inflation and the thing about inflation is that inflation tends to begat inflation. By this I mean that companies tend to start charging more anticipating further inflation. What does this do? It drives up inflation.

Profits aren't hurting because of inflation. The likes of Exxon and Chevron are making money hand over fist. What does the government do? Raises interest rates to tackle inflation while suspending gasoline taxes.

You can also tackle demand with taxation like a windfall tax. While inflation is above, say, 4%, you could simply charge an additional 30% corporate income tax.

Reminder #2: corporate taxes are only paid on profits.

You could then use this money to help those most hurt by inflation.

As for inflation dropping, that's not surprising at all. The writing was on the wall months ago as gasoline inventories started to rise as the demand-supply mismatch started to correct itself. Next year you'll probably be paying $2.50/gallon for gas.
FYI. We updated the changelog post with more details about what did (and did not) change: https://github.blog/changelog/2022-08-04-commit-comments-no-...

There are different types of comments in GitHub, and ironically, this change was made to reduce confusion by not surfacing comments made on individual commits (comments added from the commit page on GitHub) in the timeline(s) of pull request(s) that happen to include those commits.

Nothing has changed for "pull request review comments" (comments added from the pull request page, including comments added when reviewing a pull request commit-by-commit). Also, nothing has changed in the way GitHub surfaces commits or commit messages in the pull request (or any other) page.

Hope this clarifies. If not, let us know.
I wonder if they get the same conservative "No Industrial Solar" propaganda that pervades rural Iowa. A little bit of searching seems to indicate rural opposition to renewables to be fairly common.

Republican approval of renewable energy is also dropping year over year and is down 15% from 5 years ago.

It seems there is a pretty clear divide in partisan and urban / rural support.
There's different things people mean by "systems language", but a common theme is extremely precise control over the machine code emitted by the compiler.

If you take TypeScript and add pointers, you'd end up with something like Java, or maybe Go. This is not necessarily a bad outcome (Java and Go are both very popular), but those languages don't provide the sort of control you need when writing a kernel, video codec, embedded device firmware, or the runtime for a higher-level language. Some folks might disagree, but I wouldn't personally consider Go a "systems language" in the same way that C or Rust are.

The complexity you see in languages like Rust reflects the programmer's desire/need for controlled compiler output, plus a healthy dose of innate complexity of the problem domain. TypeScript has one type of string, Rust has dozens, because String and OsString and CString each have different semantics that will cause bugs if they get mixed up. We know this because older systems languages did mix them up (C++'s std::string, C *char vs *void vs *uint_8), and there were bugs, and late nights crying into a GDB prompt looking for a missing NUL terminator.

Also, I suspect from your focus on syntax that you're new to the field of programming. Once you've been writing non-web code professionally for 10 years or so, you'll pay a lot less attention to the notation. The most popular languages (C/C++/C#/Java/JavaScript/Rust/Swift/Go) all seem very similar syntactically compared to Haskell, Erlang, Lisp, or Forth.
Not only that - the majority of the structural material in a plant comes directly from the air! (Plants use a bit of water to convert CO2 to cellulose and O2)
Toastmasters meetings have something called "table topics" where you need to give a short talk on a topic with only fifteen or so seconds of preparation.

It's great for developing the skill to figure out arguments, creating a framework for talking etc.

Generally speaking, this whole thing is like a physical skill and you need to practice. The TM meetings give you a place to do that.

Also, don't underestimate the value of looking presentable and confident.
you seem to be very uncharitable to the author. Why would you assume some sort of maliciousness? Why is it that "he was clearly just asking "gotcha" questions to try and show the manager what a stupid question it was"? What are you basing this on?

I like to think that the original 5150 engineers would get it, but probably won't like it. "What in the nether hells are you doing with our respectable Business Machine?! Go play with an Atari!" ;-)
Since the baseline fear level was "inflation will keep going up and the Fed will keep raising rates, sending us deeper into a recession in the process", this seems extremely encouraging. If inflation has peaked and is starting to fall, we will get out of this much less painfully than prior recessions.
>Memory leaks still happen if you have a misunderstanding of memory management, regardless of language.

Apologies. What does this have to do with what I'm talking about? Not sure I said anything about memory leaks not happening in languages like python. I believe I said these issues happen "much less" in higher level languages so I'm not sure what you're trying to clarify here.
ZapMicro.TransactionalOutbox
ZapMicro.TransactionalOutbox is an implementation of the Transactional Outbox pattern for .NET Core and Entity Framework Core.
Setting up the linter and turning sensitivity way down is a great way to begin, but each time we add another option seems like another argument and opportunity to bikeshed about what options should be used. It seems like this can only work if we have an existing standard we're targeting.
I'm unconvinced. There are other studies that show that there's more to it than confounding factors. For example:

> not only is the Dunning–Kruger effect not merely a statistical artefact at
the group level, it also cannot be explained solely by Bayesian shrinkage in the rational estimations of individual participants. [1]

Note too that we've veered way off from the original assertion that DK had failed replication, through the fallback claim that it was an artifact of analysis itself then finally to the claim that though data artifacts are part of it, there could be confounding factors.

Okay, what was the margin on sandwiches?
I wish Google would add an advanced search parameter, maybe called "Unpolished discussion" for this reason (but to include forums, etc - results beyond just Reddit).

I was looking at vacation destinations recently, and considering taking a toddler, and Google searches for things like "Destination A vs Destination B" or "Destination A with toddlers" led to so much SEO junk. Ads for shiny e-books with regurgitated information, text that was clearly robot-generated, etc. Then adding "reddit" to the end of the searches does get you to helpful discussion from everyday people. Sure, you might have to read between the lines ("oh, this person seems unwilling to pay more than Motel 6 rates", "oh, this person seems like they might be afraid of black people", etc). Sure, the info might be out of date, or otherwise in need of verification. But you can quickly accumulate some useful ideas that the shinier SEO-optimized junk sites just don't seem to provide.
And it doesn't take very many people to do it.
Let's just ignore that the number of Republicans supporting renewables has dropped 15% in the last 5 years and is still trending down.
> Sweden (...) quite stable politically and socially.

There are riots in Sweden too [0], and what some consider to be terrorist activities from the far left to the far right [1].

Even beyond helping the state as a whole, they are also helping themselves. Good luck getting anything into or out of Chicago or New York without rail, roads, locks, dams, and airports. Infrastructure that connects to nothing isn't all that useful. All that downstate Illinois roadway, railway, navigable rivers, and smaller airports have their uses for Chicago, too. That's what networks - like the Internet - do.
Maybe Trump shouldn't crime so much. I for one want to live in a country where even ex-Presidents can become convicts, where no-one is above the law. Why won't Trump show us the warrant? Does he have something to hide?

And let's be clear here: I can't speak for you, but a lot of people on the right mocked all the folks marching (and yes sometimes rioting) over police violating people's civil and human rights. Not just mocked, but said that they should be given a beat-down by the police. Hell, Trump himself said that. To see all these same folks clutching their pearls over the FBI executing a lawful search warrant, signed by a federal judge, in which no-one was physically harmed, is just flabbergasting. That some are now calling for violent civil war is disgusting.
How about offline? And can you define hate?
Twitter often FORCED users to enter a valid phone number by locking accounts, and then verified if it was active in comparison to accounts. To this day there is no way to remove the phone number or disassociate it with an account. Please do not oversimplify the offense, it does not do justice to the cited issues involved.
I think a lot of this is a combination of "because everyone else is doing it" and "because we can". I've seen a huge price increase in branded and prepared food products. Staples like fruit, veggies, eggs, etc. has gone up in price but much less than the branded.

I also think a lot of companies are running near capacity. Labor market is tight and the supply chain is still reeling from Covid. So there's not really an opportunity to lower/maintain prices to get market share.
>companies are also still reporting record profits

Adjusted for inflation?
I bought a cheaper rigid vacuum from home depot a while back so i’m not in the market for another. When I compared the rigid vacuum to our expensive miele on a floor, the rigid picks up much more. It seems to be that household vacuums give priority to noise, light weight, maneuvering, etc. and that comes at the sacrifice of power.
It’s funny to me that proponents of this idea are generally Left leaning, because they believe in some kind of “demographic inevitability” of their success, while never once considering that the Right could adapt its messaging towards the center and win popular elections. Biden’s margin of victory over Trump was basically the same as Obama’s margin of victory over Romney adjusted for population growth.
Yes I do feel better. By energy efficient do you mean newer construction? I assume it wouldn’t be old stone construction (EU/UK old world stuff) that would be sucking up heat in winter.
Agreed - that much money could put in a computer lab in a local library for everyone to use. I’m very supportive of rural people and the life they choose to live, but you are right - they should understand the drawbacks.
There's plenty of YouTube videos about it, search for something like "commander keen cga" or "xt games cga" to get a feel for what it usually looked like.

I'm a little older and spent a nontrivial amount of time on CGA, so this demo absolutely blew my mind.
so your logic is when a powerful nation invades another weaker nobody should intervene because there will be lost lives. I am writing the comment in hope that at least nobody gets convinced about your well worded and deadly wrong argument.
There is a difference between someone's opinion and something that is offensive and potentially conspiring or inciting a crime.

"I hate Boris because he doesn't run the country properly" could be called hateful but wouldn't be taken seriously by anyone, whereas, "We should kill Boris because he doesn't run the country properly" is at least borderline.

I haven't seen many examples of something that would be considered criminal but look like they should be covered by "free speech" laws i.e. examples where a legitimate statement of opinion would be considered illegal.
My building now has ATT fiber and Century Link, our HOA negotiated for $30 (included in HOA fee) a month for 500/500 with $30 a month to upgrade to 1000/1000. Good times. ATT is now offering 2.5 and 5gbps plans as well.

Century Link fiber has been incredibly stable, the only outage we had was ironically when ATT was running the connection into the building they cut the Century Link connection...

I worry that Google really missed an opportunity to roll out an expansive network that consumers were eager to adopt. ATT has been adding in fiber everywhere in Central Florida. Every new development has ATT FttH. If Google rolled in now nobody would really care unless the price was dramatically cheaper.
What the OP is saying is you could have phrased your comment like you did in your last paragraph here.

Nobody disagrees that until it ends the situation will create further instability; but it can end with Russia giving up or surrendering as well. There is no global objective truth that Russia will not surrender; so by saying "I'm just stating facts" you're actually making a normative claim instead of a descriptive one; which can be viewed as problematic.
Phishers who breached Twilio and fooled Cloudflare could easily get you, too
Isn’t that because people have internalised the value of free speech regarding politics and therefore don’t react with violence or aggression when their side is strongly criticised?

In Britain we have a phrase beliefs “worthy of respect in a democratic society” (WORIADS) - ideally people should be able to express, and more importantly hear, these with zero inclination to violence - more tolerance, more moderation of emotion, less censorship - would be my ideal.
I guess you’ve never been to a super bowl.
You have to adjust your speech to your audience, so the "without preparation" bit is dubious.

This is very important for more technical stuff. You also have to start very slowly, so that you can lay the groundwork for everyone to understand you.

No matter how clearly you think you speak, you have to get feedback from different people.
Sorry, not really.

Training this pipeline was already quite expensive so I compared against all models and papers I could find online, but I couldn't afford to train a full new model just to check wav2vec2 with BPE.

That said, I did check against exhaustively allowing all 1-4 character tokens, which is pretty similar to BPE, and that performed worse in every situation.
It is propaganda. I don't see how anyone can think it wouldn't be. The BLS is part of the executive branch and therefore has a vested interest in making the executive branch look good. If you gave a private company the responsibility of auditing itself, most would regard the audit as worthless, and I think rightly so. But for some reason people still trust the government to have totally pure and disinterested scientific intentions, and I have no idea why.
Browserflow fan here - I used it on a variety of projects. DK was a great help throughout the way on the slack group.

It's fun to watch his twitter and celebrate his wins alongside him
"The Federal Reserve does affect it with the fed rate"
In general, it takes some time for this to have any impact on inflation, and in some cases effects may be uncorrelated if markets shift for external reasons.

What is a "Democrat", and how is it related to the subject matter?

While I can't seem to understand the unjust world theories... I do respect your misguided opinions.

Have a gloriously wonderful day. =)
There’s clear plastic shrink wrap which truly does become nearly invisible once you run a hair dryer over it. Last one I used was “Duck” brand and worked great. People would walk up to the windows and be surprised to hit the plastic that they didn’t see.
