There is three levels in SEO. The foundation, the content and the authority. My experience is more e-commerce focused.

The foundation is the build, the technical aspects of your site. Few requirements when doing complex websites:
- Core Web Vitals above 90
- well formatted sitemaps,
- the simplest HTML possible,
- right meta,
- json-ld,
- headers ratio,
- really fast Time to first byte,
- perfect mobîle usability score
- alt tags on images,
- lazy loaded pictures below the fold
- http 103 preload on static assets and LCP assets
- inline SVG for icons ( SVG sprites better )
- responsive images ( something like imgix or thumbor is basically mandatory)
- the least amount of JS and CSS possible
- critical css generated for each template
A 100% lighthouse score on a simple text page is easy. A 90+on mobile for a complex e-commerce website is hard. But without a sane foundation you are diminishing the impact of everything else.

Then the content. Have better content than everybody. Hire writers. For each page, have real human content written. But there a some techniques :
- for each page choose a focus keyword and a secondary keyword
- this keyword should be in your title, H1, and url.
- secondary keyword should be in your h2 and meta description.
- don't forget modifiers ( like geographic or niche or vertical ). They should be in your title and meta description.
- run a TF-IDF analysis on your competition for your focus keyword.
- run a ask the public analysis on your focus keyword
- write your outline and incorporate the keywords that make sense from the tf idf and answer the questions that make sense from answer the public

But in the end, what matters is that your content is great, informed, well written, and has a brand voice. You don't want your content to smell like SEO content. Always prioritize the content quality vs keyword optimization.

Biggest issue on large websites: content cannibalization. When topics are really close to each other and would be relevant for same keyword, you need to find a way to whether move the focus upward to a category page, on add more différenciation between the pages.

Trick: optimize your content on the html side: lists should be html lists, for FAQs use the ld-jso ln for it etc... That's why a block editor is amazing for SEO.

Then, authority. Meaning back links. Don't use backlink services ( i built one in a previous life ). Focus on PR if you can. Do real marketing. But backlinks are not necessary to rank. My website is the best ranking website in its niche and country without any backlink effort.

You know Google loves you when you get indexed the same day you publish.

Create a process of content creation, publish regularly. Have regular internal linking reviews. Invest in a tool or two ( ahrefs and screaming frog ) for three hings : technical audit, keyword research and competition analysis.

Last advice: most SEO agencies are crap. They only sell backlinks and tepid 500 words blog articles. And most of the time, their work is outsourced via cookie cutter white label companies. But it's normal: they can't touch the foundations. And they don't have the skills as soon as you don't run on WordPress.
This doesn’t hold water. Most if not all art is derivative at this point. There’s only so many things you can do on a 2D surface and there’s more than enough material for new derivations.
I'd still rather see that happen out in the open instead of back room deals and bills ghost written by opaque lobbyists.

I could even imagine a voting system that lets you name your favorite politician as your proxy. So politicians could collect the votes of their base into a block. Maybe even a mechanism of saying I want this expert to cast my vote on x topic, and this other thought leader on y topic. Independents might retain their vote on every issue if they care to.

I'd probably go with a system with tiers of votes as an issue gains more public attention. Say a minor change is proposed on a niche law and those who are passionate about fishing rights in the Colorado River get involved and vote. Say 5k people vote. Then there's a cooling off period before implementation but all of a sudden the issue ends up in the news and 5m people are now interested so there's another vote with another cooling off period. Only this time 10m people would need to express interest to hold another vote.

I don't know the perfect system but I'm confident we can come up with a more democratic process than what was possible 250 years ago. One in which the public more directly decides what issues get voted on.

Congress has limited capacity and can't focus on everything but the work can be distributed if it were more open. A system in which experts could make proposals directly instead of being forced to educate and convince a politician the issue is even worth spending political capital on. And a system in which citizens can see all the changes being made publicly. It seems every time a major bill is passed it tends to be this huge amalgamation of new laws that often aren't even related. And then news articles follow pointing out how x, y, and z things got slipped into the 800 page bill no one in Congress actually bothered to read.
This isn't my experience at all. Its a constant stream, people try common first names, and they're from lots of different people. Certain cloud websites in particular host the bots. A weird amount of requests come from IP addresses associated with security companies - just enough to be a nuissance for a website that doesn't actually get any traffic and is just for me to test things out on.
It still exists on Windows.
Similar in what sense? Close bonding between males? I don't know about that time frame, but Judas kissing Christ is a known theme, painted many times.
This sounds like the fallacy of the inverse[1]: Increased censorship implies less favorable critical reception, but less censorship does not imply more favorable critical reception.

I love the way you phrased this, I wrote a book entitled Creative Doing and it's really all about how doing and thinking are part of a loop! Everything is just a snapshot into the creative process and each person's larger body of work.
I think both pirates and privateers are possible. State sponsored warfare by other means (privateers) has deep historical roots.

I think the value of having a US or allied flagged vessel is going to radically increase in value, as it implies a possibility of retribution in force.
No. You're watching the beginnings of these tools now. In a few years they'll blow your mind. There's no reason to believe these won't be an order of magnitude more powerful in short order.

Just as an artist starts with an outline and iteratively refines, so too will these tools enable such workflows for complete novices. You'll be able to create an illustration in ten minutes exactly as you'd like, without the artist's five hours of work and ten thousand hours of practice. Unlike an artist, you'll have thousands of paths to choose from at your fingertips.

Illustrators are about to go the way of basket weavers, crocheters, and elevator attendants. This isn't like photography where you need to hire someone for your event. Illustration is offline, async, and now it can be done for fractions of pennies.
Why does the ethnic background of the authors matter?
Storing the internal state in sqlite and allowing Lua plugins to operate on it might be a way of extending things.
Writing to think is what we all do here and on other social media.

It’s no different, and I think too few people realize that. In fact, writing for others to read is better, as it exposes your thinking to critical evaluation.

More people should write comments, tweets, posts, whatever. They’d be better off for it for these exact same reasons.
It's in the second paragraph of the article: "The approach has several advantages over terrestrial solar power, including the absence of night and inclement weather and the lack of an atmosphere to attenuate the light from the sun."
> My advice to the "don't be so busy" folks... get busy. Do a good job and tactfully take credit for it. Work hard and make sure your name is associated with results.

If you are in a dysfunctional org this will be very hard to do. What you think is a great outcome can be overshadowed because in 500ms some higher up decided it was a shit outcome. And customer/boss is always right is the culture in general.

You need to be busy on the right things. And the right thing might be brushing up the resume. Or it might be pulling an all nighter at the current job and bragging about it the next day. Or managing the manager. Or it might be giving yourself a break, by taking leave. But it is never clear, you just have to decide.
Well, in socialized healthcare, you have some procedures which are covered, and then some, like cosmetic surgery, which aren't. An equivalent to that for power would be to cook up a baseline kWh usage for a household, maybe something that is a function correlated to the number of residents, and then charge for every kWh above that.
Normally when I stumble across people talking like this I try to speak soothingly, make sure they have a safe place to be, and are hydrated.

It'll be ok. Just ride it out. Everyone's just riding theirs, too . . .
It isn't none, it isn't an exhaustive list, and it should be enough to dispel the claim that there was some sort of white house directive to "ban the mention of that word on primetime television". If you have some evidence to support your claim please share it.
There's a brand called Zest tea which specializes in this. Some flavors are tasty. They have a sampler pack.

That's a really interesting topic, thanks for sharing this! I've previously written about changing environments (https://forge.medium.com/to-do-better-work-change-your-envir...), prompts for changing equipment would also be very interesting.

For me, generally pen and paper for preliminary work (e.g., exploring the idea, journaling, taking notes), software and tools like Google Docs/Notion/Airtable for organization and fidelity (e.g., outlining, writing, editing, etc.). Another lens could be analog for chaotic creative work, digital for structured creative work.

You put a very subjective opinion in very objective language. Some people prefer lingering in an essay, or meandering through musings, to reading executive summaries or condensed arguments or whatever. It's just a style. Sounds like it's not yours.

I'm hoping that the folks running the bots use their bots' failure to negotiate a connection as a filter in a similar, but opposite, way that Nigerian scammers use ridiculously scammy, all caps, emails as a filter. It would significantly reduce log spam if each bot only ever connected once.

Anyone who responds to a Nigerian scam email is much more likely to be able to be successfully scammed. It is more efficient, for the scammer, that less credulous people get filtered out in the first step, so as not to waste time on them.

Similarly, any site where an ssh bot fails connection because the site operator removed e.g., weaker default ciphers is much less likely to support password auth for it to even be possible to have a password brute forced. It is more efficient for the bot operator to just move along to a more likely target.
I think the fact those diffusion models are smaller and compute efficient than gigantic GPT models are in fact make them easier to use and distribute.

BLOOM is out there, but not that many individuals with have like 8 3090 to host them, and the inference is still incredibly slow nevertheless
My first real job was at a company in Pennsylvania with a few dozen employees. They laid off half their staff and implemented mandatory overtime. Many of my college friends that never left the area lost their jobs during the pandemic working for exactly the kinds of companies you describe. Every five to ten years of my adulthood has been marked with economic downturn that overwhelmingly shutter small businesses. What kind of stability is that?
I used to enjoy trying to delete malware (mostly porn advertising) off lab computers in college. There were a couple I could just never get rid of and I checked all over. They were buried deep and had roots throughout the system lol.
In the future censors could not only cut parts, but also insert something - fragments promoting desiraole values, etc. If the show producers offer them as options to order for particular audiences; or maybe with the help of generative machine learning tech.
In healthcare it's different, as, conceptually, at least, it's in all of our interests to be healthy, and being less healthy usually isn't just a comfort matter; discomfort in the health sphere usually signals greater health problems in the future.
I don’t consider stereotypes funny. America has a really bad history when it comes to shows propagating racial stereotypes. People finding a stereotype funny is not a good reason to air it on national television.

Jim Crow was a stereotype which plenty of people found funny 80 years ago, we don’t find it funny anymore(it was never funny), as we see it for the truth. It was an untrue racist portrayal that harmed Black Americans. Granted the portrayal of Raj isn’t nearly as harmful and it is not comparable to horrors of Jim Crow. Jim Crow was a billion times more harmful to a lot of Black Americans.

Portrayal of Raj probably has little to no impact on Indian Americans. However as a society we have to learn from the past, and it is time to abandon stereotypical portrayals of people.

Big Bang Theory is an old sitcom people found funny during its time, just like people abandoned the stereotypes of the past, people will dumb Big Bang Theory.

You don't think I'll get trouble with copyright infringement if I start using images I find on Google commercially?
"But officer, I came up with the keyword for this image all by myself!!"
Or do you just mean you don't think copyright should exist in the first place?

In this case it took a pretty straightforward title and made it confusing.
Write to think is a little slow... Unless you can type pretty fast, in which case it's good to clear your mind...

Talking to think is even better... Alone, with a Bluetooth headset, talk to yourself -- better if the app can skip silence --- you can now listen back and look back at your own thoughts from a detached 3rd person perspective.

I recently experimented with Google speech to text on goolge docs to chalk out some content that I went back and refined later, so that could be a happy compromise.

Real life use case: we had a super user mode for support that looked just like what the end user would see, so we add cursor sparkles to distinguish it from a standard login.

Emad, the creator of SD stated this on Twitter:

"We actually used 256 A100s for this per the model card, 150k hours in total so at market price $600k"
Double standard would be claiming that one is ok but the other isn’t, 2 wrongs indicates a consistent standard.
Yes, you can. For well-known people you can already upload a meme and ask SD to replace the face.

I replaced a Biden meme with Shrek just yesterday using Stable Diffusion image2image in Colab.

I am working on a company that sells virtual education course. Do non profit organizations buy services like this from for profit companies?

Any thoughts ?
Well Google's paper showed you don't need CLIP anyway. T5 and other languages model can be used regardless.

CLIP isn't the true blocker to entry, the dataset and compute is.

Writing forces me to slow down my thinking, and simply by slowing my thoughts down, they become more clear and go deeper. I wonder if simply slowing my thinking down to writing speed (without actually doing the physical act of writing) would have the same effect.

The difference, like many things in traditional finance and cryptocurrency, is disclosure.

The activities of the market makers are well disclosed in a comprehensive IPO disclosure document. Importantly, any relationship between the underwriters and the company they are underwriting is well disclosed.

Meanwhile, folks tout the transparency of the public ledger, but actually the transparency is very shallow and disclosure is very poor, particularly around conflicts of interest.

Additionally, if the company lies to make the "pump" you can put the shares back to the company (per the securities act).

You just have to look at what happened to WeWork to see the IPO disclosure process successfully killing a bad company.

Beyond that point (is it necessary?) an IPO in the US is heavily regulated, disclosure by the SEC, underwriter activities by FINRA and the listing itself by the stock exchange.

I don't think you can call IPO market support "pump and dump".

> Governments will rather use tricks to lower inflation. Change the definition.

I may agree with the rest, but not with this one. The definition of inflation (or CPI) is owned by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which is obviously part of the Government. Still, nobody in this bureau will get a bonus or a salary increase, or anything really, if they tweak the definition. Moreover, how many times can the Government change the definition?

But you're comparing consumer/desktop to HEDT/server. They prioritize different things - the memory bandwidth is less of a bottleneck on desktop. While your premise is that the pricing is HEDT (based on a first generation part from 2017), the current Threadripper is a $6500 part that does still carry 8 memory channels, up to 3200Mhz.

One would imagine that EPYC based on Zen 4c would have the memory throughput you crave, though I wouldn't hold your breath for $700 pricing. It's still hard to say how committed AMD is to the middle ground of HEDT.

My recommendation for people using anything like Jekyll: just bite the bullet and write a custom build script. A 200 line script that takes can handle Jinja templates or markdown or something will mean you actually understand all that is happening and aren't trying to fight the system or just figure out how to do anything.

And of course don't write a plugin system or something you would share with others! Just write the thing that you need, and change it as you need to!

Static site generators are great for people less comfortable doing this, but having to deal with all the _stuff_ is a major waste of time for what it's offering for people who don't need it.
There is an option to continue to do the best they can, even if it's not great, because even a poorly moderated twitter is better than no twitter. It's only by over focusing on cases like those in the submission and ignoring all the regular people in Pakistan going about their business not paying a lick of attention to any of this that you could make the case that twitter leaving Pakistan would be an improvement.
I find that it's exactly the slowing down that helps me think more clearly. Even talking to think slows down my thinking, but to a lesser degree, and it's not as clearly structured. Writing on the other hand really helps me to think more thoroughly. The right answer is probably that we all are different and have to figure out what works best for us.

This is a very narrow viewpoint. This is 2022. You can be sure that DALL-E and Stable Diffusion and subsequent iterations will be continuously improving at a faster pace (especially those that become more open), and 5 years, 10 years from now, you will be able to make very convincing images that will absolutely compete with the best artists out there.

It will not "steal your job" right now, but that's besides the point. With image generators you can produce 100's of images for "free", and you can just spend your time selecting the best in the lot. For most needs out there, it's enough.
> > in OK?, 5 + 2 * 3 evaluates to 21, not 11, because addition and multiplication have equal operator precedence.

To be honest, I think this is actually smart!

There are to this day people in coding that don't know about operator precedence. I've seen bugs because of that not only once…

Just having a very simple rule and making everything else explicit is not bad for a computer language. You know, explicit is better than implicit. At least some serpents said that.
