Because previous political leaders of important countries made very unserious decisions to become dependent on energy from Putin. Some of these leaders got cushy jobs at Putins pet companies after leaving office.

On top of that they also decided to make a big transition in energy, but on the cheap. They made a bet that they could move to intermittent energy sources without breaking the bank, and by ignoring fundamental power engineering. A key part of this strategy was to fill in for what intermittent sources could not supply by increasing energy reliance on energy from Putin (more natural gas and coal). So these countries started turning off nuke and coal plants.

This was a really bad bet, and they were told very publicly that it was a bad bet, because it was highly unlikely that Putin would not take advantage of the situation.

In 2014, Putin took advantage of the situation. Putin shot down an airliner, took over Crimea, and killed a lot of people. These important countries doubled down on their bet on Putin and appeased Putin with a nice settlement - Putin got eastern Ukraine and Crimea. And they agreed to become more dependent on energy from Putin.

This year, figuring he had everyone whupped good and proper, Putin went for broke and decided to take over all of Ukraine, starting by killing the leader of Ukraine. Despite many attempts, this has failed, and these important countries have suddenly realized what others had been telling them for years.

The cost of disentangling from Putin is now very high, and you're seeing that in energy costs.

If you have a small amount to invest, I recommend looking at the Series I savings bonds. You are limited to buying about $10,000 worth per year, but they're pretty simple financial instruments, and you can easily understand how they will act.

You can buy arbitrarily large amounts of TIPS, but TIPS are actually pretty complicated securities. I do not advise against their purchase, just make sure that you understand what you are buying and how it behaves in difference circumstances before you invest your money
No, really. Insulin resistance and elevated fasted blood are clinical markers of diabetes and prediabetes. There is no arguing this.

Yes, non-obese individuals with type 2 diabetes exist, though they are rare. Obese individuals who are not prediabetic or already have pathological type 2 diabetes are unicorns.

Patients are already having their blood sugar monitored in a clinical setting, especially diabetic ones or ones likely to be prediabetic. And those patients are... obese.

There is no getting around his fact.

Non-obese patients also have this checked regularly. Clinicians frequently ask for fasting the night beforehand to check blood values. They are checking for this. Nothing here is new, even remotely.
OK so I was waiting for a reply like this that explained the accusation. I read this, liked a few @garrytan replies that weren't positive and ... it appears I'm now blocked!? What the hell!!??
It's an open secret that there's a bimodal distribution of raw capacity or talent for programming. (E.g. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/250800680_The_camel... )

Anyone who can solve a Sudoku puzzle can learn to program a computer, and probably should, just like anybody can learn to read and write and do basic math (in which I include algebra, trig, calculus, etc.) However, there's a subset of people who are really good at programming, far beyond the level of the normal folk in the first group. (I say "normal" because the first group outnumbers the second by a large ratio, maybe 20:1 or higher.)

The only prerequisite for being a good programmer is, in a word, Logic. If you're good at logic you'll be good at programming, and if you're not, you won't. (It also helps to have a deep passion for it.)

In re: diversity, I assume that the distribution of normals:programmers is fairly constant across human populations. Yet, there's no denying cultural/gender/race aspects affect who actually becomes working programmers. (I don't know what to do about this.)

In re: all the burgeoning complexity, that's a side-effect of all the normals flooding into the field to make money. Up until roughly the Dot-com Boom programmers were largely self-selecting. Once normals realized they could make money using computers and the Internet they began to infiltrate the ranks and dilute the ancient hard-won wisdom of the greybeards (so-called because they are old, almost exclusively male, and typically very hairy. They literally have grey beards for the most part.) Nowadays we have degenerated so far that we have insanity like JS server-side!

I call it "Eternal Eternal September" Most people can't remember or never experienced the staunchly non-commercial early phases of the Internet.

> The point of programming is to create software that delivers value to the users.

No, this is a side-effect of programming. If logic was entirely useless I would still spend the majority of my time doing it. It's beautiful.

The fact that a large number of human problems can be solved by means of digital logical programs is marvelous, but it's not the point of programming anymore than the point of poetry is to sell Hallmark cards, eh?

> What would the field of software development look like, if “the best programmers” were not the most mathematically inclined neophile workaholics, but rather people who are good at organising (sic) work? Good at communicating clearly. People who care, not so much about which tools are used, but about using whatever tools are available to maximise (sic) the value of the product being made?

These folks are important and valuable. Call them Product Managers.

Ideally, the elite programmers would write flawless efficient software, and the Product Managers and users would take it and configure it to solve their problems.

(BTW, it is possible and economical to write flawless software. The fact that there are still so many bugs is itself another symptom of the primary problem: the confusion between elite "Real" programmers, Product Managers, and end users.)
Interesting, because I find Elixir’s syntax to be rather busy, especially coming to it from F#. I love Elixir and Erlang, but Ruby’s influence on Elixir is probably my least favorite thing about Elixir.

As far as I'm aware, this is not true. The first-sale doctrine allowed the rental of VHS and video games bought normally at retail stores. The movie and video game industry went ballistic over this, a Nintendo executive called it "commercial rape". The movie industry took it to court and lost, and tried lobbying congress to no avail.

IIRC, they then hatched a scheme where the retail availability of new movies on VHS would be restricted at least for a time, forcing video rental shops to pay more for copies of popular new movies.

Here is how some companies "do DevOps":

1. An operations team with a different name.
2. A platform team with a different name.
3. A development team with a different name.
4. A "CI/CD team".
5. A role (ex. "dev who automates ops", "ops who codes", "support specialist who codes", all three in one).
6. A chart that the delivery manager maintains.

Here is what DevOps should actually be:

1. Delivering rapidly and consistently with extremely high levels of confidence.
2. The right people address problems correctly, immediately, the first time, and fix it so it doesn't happen again.
3. That's it.
I think TPU is the way to go for ML, be it training or inference.

We're using GPU(some contains a TPU block inside) due to 'historical reasons'. With vector unit(x86 AVX, ARM SVE, RISC-V RVV) that is part of the host cpu, either put a TPU on a separate die of the chiplet, or just put it into a PCIe card will do the heavy lift ML job fine. It shall be much cheaper than the GPU model for ML nowadays, unless you are both a PC game player and a ML engineer.

I don't think you need to imagine "creatures" - there are humans on earth whose culture's music doesn't have the concept of octaves, let alone fifths. All the real action in their music is in its rhythmic complexity.

But my comment was in reply to this statement specifically:

> Somewhere there is a perfect universe where 12 fifths form an octave.

For this to be true, I think you'd indeed need a new universe where 3^12 = 2^x, where X is a whole integer.

There are standard typographical conventions I don't always adhere to in the context of talking about code or other technical subjects. For example, the American standard is for punctuation that comes at the end of a quotation should be inside the closing quotation mark, "like this." I sometimes do the reverse, or even put a space before a period or comma, just to avoid possible confusion about what's actually part of the quotation and what's not.

The apostrophe in the way you're using it here is something similar: you're accentuating that the actual name of the thing you're talking about is SomeCoolObject. Sometimes that kind of thing could matter (particularly think of when pluralizing a word changes its spelling beyond simply adding an "s" to the end). You might be better off just restructuring a sentence to avoid having to pluralize at all: "a list with members of type SomeCoolObject" or somesuch.

I thought this post would be about how ASICs are probably a better bet.
With more customers usually the revenue and profit grow, then the team becomes larger, wants to perform more experiments, spends more on training and so on. Inference is just so computationally cheap compared to training.

That's what I've seen in my experience, but I concur that there might be cases where the ML is a more-or-less solved problem for a very large customer base where inference is more. I've rarely seen it happen, but other people are sharing scenarios where it happens frequently. So I guess it massively depends on the domain.

They also insisted nobody gift food to the Irish in excess of what the queen of England was giving them. Censored I think...Ottoman Empire's gifts this way. They had to maroon ships full of grain by accident, and tons of people sent food, like even Kenyans and Native Americans.

Ireland still hasn't repopulated. Still half its 19th century peak population roughly.
I suspect at least 10+ depending on your definition.

Tools like this will absolutely be used by professionals to cut out portions of the workload, but there's still a large gap between something like this and actually making a coherent, cohesive, consistent, paced, well framed and lit story from text alone.

Yes. The wire format docs, especially for HTTP, are atrocious. The pack format is well documented enough. (https://github.com/git/git/tree/maint/Documentation/technica...)

I wrote the 9front implementation (https://git.9front.org/plan9front/plan9front/HEAD/sys/src/cm...) more or less entirely from the official documentation in the git repo. For debugging, GIT_TRACE_PACKET=1 is very useful for getting valid packet traces.

Hamasaki takes sides and works with prolific accounts over any salient prog vs. mod local political issue. The fact that the topic in the screenshot had to do with the BOE recall specifically is pretty irrelevant. He had probably been harassing Garry for any local political position for months. Unfortunately, Hamasaki also recently deleted months of tweets to clean up his image for a local election run, so it’s hard to find citations.

Wildlings is def not running on $5/day. They likely spend that little on food and rent (moorings). But they are for sure on the extreme end of cruising cheaply. I think they own four shirts, and have to share them. Their boat came with newish sails, they use phones or tablets instead of a dedicated plotter, half of their boat refit was parts out of the marina rubbish bin, their tender looks like it belongs in a back yard swimming pool, etc. Probably only WindHippy or (old) Sam Holmes cruising cheaper on YouTube.

For whatever reason you seem to be building a lot of strawmen here. No one prior to you was talking about 100%. Similarly for shifting the onus, you can pick up most any study on obesity and inflammation. Not liking medical facts does not make them go away.
The cost here is not from rendering speed — as you point out, UI rendering is so fast in most modern environments, even on a bad day, that drawing the UI itself is pretty much never the actual load that slows anything to a crawl.

Based on the author's description, it sounds like the real cost here was from way over-diffing a set of models that weren't very efficiently bound to the UI. This is a very common source of bugs in all declarative frameworks.

In SwiftUI, the consequences can be particularly bad, because there are a couple somewhat innocent-sounding ways of injecting dependencies into your UI that actually invalidate the whole thing on any value's change and cause major updates (including, if a custom "Representable" that uses its own GPU tools is not implemented carefully, potentially reallocating all kinds of buffers and drawing tools).

This is all stuff that you learn how to deal with as you get used to the framework and learn its more advanced tools, but adapting to this part is not really something there's a lot of documentation for.
What you say re saving all data is the ideal. I'd add a couple caveats, one is that in many fields you often get lots of redundant data that adds nothing to training (for example if an image classifier looking for some rare class you can be drowning in images of the majority class). Or you can just have lots of data that is unambiguously and correctly classified- some kind of active learning can tell you what is worth keeping.

The other is that for various reasons the customer doesnt want to share their data (or at least have sharing built into the inference system) so even if you'd like to have everything they record, it's just not available. Obviously something to discourage but it seems common
In my experience, some banks offer ACH pushing through Bill Pay but often an ACH is only made if the recipient is on a master list of known institutions (like for paying your electricity) and if the recipient is not on this list then a check is sent by mail. YMMV though
You sound awfully offended at not agreeing with someone on the internet. I assume you must be in your early twenties because to be able to sustain such an attitude would likely lead to an extraordinarily high blood pressure that could send you to an early grave.

Tea is better for planning and thinking alone, coffee is better for repetitive work once you've planned it out with tea, and for discussing things with others.

That being said, coffee is essential in the morning for low blood pressure people. Tea doesn't quite start the engine up the same way - clearing and waking up the brain is no use if the heart is still at 50 bpm and the eyelids are as heavy as the Iron Curtain.

Yes, you absolutely could do that legally - it is part of the "right of first sale", however you would have to wait until the videos were available for sale at Walmart. If a video rental store wanted to have access to videos before they were available for home purchase (and most of them did) then they had to make deals with the rights holders and follow the contracts that went along with them.
> lack confidence with women

Aren't all the male characters in the show this way?

Is the show doing "Character who is Indian male lacks confidence with women" ?

Or is it doing "Character lacks confidence with women because he's an Indian male"?

There's a world of difference.
Where Kunal Nayar grew is insignificant. Most of the soldiers who fought for British India were Indians themselves but that doesn’t mean the occupation of India was right. In the case of Indian soldiers it was in their personal monetary interest to fight for the British. You are trying to make a similar argument, the role advances Kunal Nayar’s career and I am sure he is in it because it helps him, doesn’t mean the show gets a pass.

I am not sure whether you are Indian or not, but if you fail to see why many Indians consider this portrayal problematic then we really need more anti-racism training in this country.

Yes, I am sure there are Indian men who lack confidence with women, but given India is 1.5 billion strong, I am sure men who are confident outnumber

I know what you mean but it really isn't silly, it is socially responsible. You are already doing the right thing but thought of it as a hobby but it really isn't.
