Turning a Google Colab Notebook into a Web App
Great article, applied it to my parser where I was emulating movemask and it did indeed speed it up a few percent.
People (or NPCs/bots, like you call them) downvote you because not only is it a bad take and does have questionable grammar, it's also full of misinformation.

Let's take your first point for example. If I go on Fox News right now and search for articles about the 2020 election being stolen, I get plenty of articles and opinions talking about it. How exactly was it censored, and how is it comparable to censorship in China?

Besides, censorship is not inherently bad, and most stable democracies with a functioning legal system will have some form of censorship, to protect minors, for example.

The landscape of trust online is varied. Someone is likely to have lower trust for random website you’ve never heard of (which was most stuff in the early days) than an established business or one with a physical presence.

Now that online retail is mature and trust is high, credit cards are more for convenience, but this wasn’t the case in the early days… and still isn’t the case for lesser established sellers or marketplaces.
If we treat what rural Chinese people are doing nowadays as standard operation, the westerners are just barbarians. Don't waste time on these non sense, lets decide which one is "STANDARD"
It's only your investments that are failing (assuming you are a US taxpayer).

The servicers are paid to service; they don't own the instrument. You own the actual debt.

Think of it as a particularly regressive tax -- levied against everyone (including the SEVENTY PERCENT of people who couldn't access higher education) to fund the relatively small and precious set who got a four year degree and couldn't even manage to pay off a used Toyota Corolla with the skills they learned.

If this angers you, write your congressperson and urge them to completely defund the research agencies -- NSF, NIH, DARPA, AFRL, the National Labs, and so on. These institutions are rotten to the core and are today completely controlled by twitter personalities. We can get a working man's jubilee by killing off funding for useless junk.

I have a college degree and a PhD. I have faculty in my immediate family. We feel the same way. Hit academics -- and academia -- where it hurts. The research these agencies fund is NOT an investment in research. It's just BS soft money that allows professors to be a jet setting group.

I promise you that these faculty literally laugh about their obligation to the US taxpayer, right before flying off to Europe for skiing or a nice summer vacation after their conference. Pick a faculty member and go read the names of countries where they present their papers.

I also promise you that the research is useless. Go read the proceedings of any CS conference.

To pay working class folks back for student loan jubilee, we should start by cancelling Twitter-personality-cum-faculty's summer jet setting vacay by defunding the NSF's Division of Computer and Network Systems.
I wonder if this will happen to frontend and backend developers with the exact same principle: Have the bulk of the lifting done by some stable diffusion for CRUD api/frontend and test/modify edge cases.

I think your last point on salaries: This will increase salaries for those with a lot of experience but you are correct, for vast majority of digital art degrees graduating will suffer from demand plummet.

I really fear for the young Z generation, it appears the bar to entry is increasing as these AI tools automate bulk of their requirement.

It's akin to how github copilot generates a ton of boilerplate work, something that used to be delegated to junior devs.

Don't people feel nostalgic for the ~30 years ago in every decade? In the early '00s we were into the '70s, not the '90s. And the '80s were the decade that everyone tacitly agreed never happened, right up until a few years ago when they started making a comeback.

I think it's just because that's how long it takes between the invention of a trend or style, and the majority of people not remembering a time when that was 'the new awful thing that the youth of today are doing'.
Actually, 41 has a better 4th and 5th, only being off by about half a cent, as opposed to being off by about 2 cents. It also has thirds and sixths that are quite a bit better (though still not great), and it has very good 7-limit intervals, which is something 12-EDO has nothing even remotely close to.

31 is generally decent all around, but it has worse 4ths and 5ths than 12-EDO.

53 EDO is even better than 41, having 4ths and 5ths that are off by about 7 hundredths of a cent. It also has much better 3rds and 6ths than 41, but the 7-limit intervals are slightly worse.

There is nothing inherent to cryptocurrency that prevents the ability to reverse a payment, it can be done in a contract, only both sides must agree to use it. Personally i see the inability of government ( or anyone else ) to arbitrarily modify transactions as crypto's greatest strength. Want reversibility? you can have it. Want a custodial institution to manage your account? you can have that too, Nothing stopping you. The system is flexible and secure in ways the traditional financial system is not.
Yes, but private businesses/roadways don't need to follow them(though they mostly do).
In my opinion, image generation models will replace some jobs - the low-value stuff that's basically "I need somebody to draw a bunch of random things and I don't particularly care about the outcome".

Now, moving up the value chain we find ourselves at design agencies that do 2 things: they gather requirements and then they convert those requirements into an output. Many times a client themselves don't know what they want, and part of a good agency's job is turning nebulous requirements into something usable (and charging through the roof for it).

The technology will make images much more accessible - the same way Google translate is crap, but it opened up me communicating with a random foreign dude when travelling in a new country that nobody would've ever hired a translator for. The translators moved up market to industries where it's important that a human verified everything looks good like official government/corporate publications.

Same thing here; one day you'll have these models in powerpoint and people will click on the model when they need some kind of image there. The high-end won't go away, but the low-value work almost certainly will.
Your comment was considerably more valuable then the article. Thanks.
Visual Studio will write the entire function for you. It's pretty neat.
I find it annoyingly non-intuitive but with enough use I get over it.
the prevalence of animated gifs in chat is fine if its casual but really REALLY irritating for technical and business focused chats.
The problem isn't really that "nix" can refer to the tool or the language. (e.g. it's not really a big deal to distinguish Java's compiler, VM, standard library, or language; and I'm not sure why you'd want to use a name other than "Java" for these).

I think it's more ambiguity around statements like "Nix is difficult to use".

The Nix package manager, and the Nix expression language themselves are quite straightforward. (Even if applying these to what you want to do can be difficult).

Whereas, the main repository of packages, Nixpkgs, is often inconsistent or otherwise confusing, and can be difficult to navigate. So you'll want to get something done, and be shit out of luck.
Please note the important caveat in the article:

If the following are true: Your team is following software engineering practices that have been shown time and time again to be indicative of highly performing technology teams (think CI/CD and DevOps).

This is all too often the root cause of developers being "too busy".

I've had some variation of the following conversation nearly verbatim with six different teams in the last twelve months:

Me: "I can help you guys to set up Azure DevOps pipelines to automate your builds and deployments, you just need to make sure your code builds on an isolated machine first."

Them: "That sounds nice, but we're too busy to work on that."

Me: "May I ask what is keeping you guys so busy?"

Them: "We have three (manual) deployments this week."

Me: "ಠ_ಠ"
Can't say I like it either but:

"Please don't complain about tangential annoyances—things like article or website formats, name collisions, or back-button breakage. They're too common to be interesting."

in my observation (and it might not be correct), most of ppl around me doesn't even care which part has been censored, watching those sitcoms are just a way to kill time after all. however, you could find those censored clips on some video platforms where censorship is not so strict since there is no clear guidelines about what should not be exist.
Very true. Email forces you to compose rather than emit streams of consciousness.

And composing often leads to solutions even before you press Send.

I’m fairly certain this happens in the US as well. I distinctly remember The Office censoring a few bits - notably the Belsnickel bit from season 9.

> For some higher risk use cases, the age check may involve a liveness test where the user must ... record a short video saying phrases requested by the provider.

How long before some profit-maximizing vice president suggests that the requested phrases should be advertising slogans, with these ad slots sold to the highest bidder? We're this close to literally building the "Drink verification can to continue" dystopia that we were warned of:

Note that this admits strategies where nothing of consequence is ever delivered (but each deploy has some quantifiable and measured churn), and the people that break stuff get credit for fixing the stuff they broke.

I've watched this particular breed of organizational cancer destroy many companies and products.

The end game is that people creating useless, but highly visible churn get promoted, as do the ones that repeatedly break stuff. Even if that doesn't happen, the engineers that want to build stuff inevitability flee.
People are expected to keep savings to weather through the lean times, and corporations should do the same- set up a fund to keep valued workers through lean times.

From personal experience, you can do good work and still be laid off. I got laid off a couple months after the company's president gave himself a 5M bonus, fully aware a recession was ongoing and that measures would have to be taken.

From my perspective many businesses are very happy to have people stick around to do the work with less pay, dur8ng good times they give the profits of this labor to the people at the top + shareholders and then when a downturn comes they trim off workers. They could have kept the people they laid off and paid everyone more if they'd (rather than giving bonuses to executives) put that money away for a rainy day. I don't see the benefit of having loyalty and working yourself to the bone when the people you're working for have lots of loyalty to the bottom line, themselves, and their investors, yet very little to the quality of life of the people who work under them.

Sure, I'm willing to work crazy hours and do whatever needs to get done but I expect to be met halfway and be respected (preferrably properly compensated) for the sacrifices I'm willing to make for the work I do.
> users very likely have Google or Apple accounts

Have neither - therefore assuming I might want to use your app, I could not.
Not a single one of those stories was suppressed by the government in the U.S., which is what the article details happening in China. In fact many government officials supported and promoted those stories.

Disagreement among private parties, or getting less private promotion than you wanted to get, is not “censorship”. It’s free speech in action.
The CrowdSec folks have something similar to that:

I have spent some time with dall-e and it is really useful for touchups and content that can stay at the edges. The centerpiece still has to be hand designed by a living breathing team.

That said, using anything other than dall-e for social media content feels like a waste. Why use a human for generating low effort read once content anymore?

Maybe that explains why Moneygram, Stripe and many others have ignored Bitcoin, and Ethereum for their use case in payments and remittances and instead have chosen cryptocurrency technologies and chains like Stellar. This tells me that there are some that are more useful than others and will survive regulations and there are some that won’t.

So the regular outcry about “crypto is still completely non-viable as a real medium of exchange” is just complete nonsense; parroted here once again.

Firstly you're comparing silicon with vastly more expensive panels, there are a number of techs that have ~10-15% capacity factor (not 10% of 20%) in winter in the area 80% of the populations lives (and within easy transmission distance of 95% of the rest). Secondly you're comparing tracking with fixed systems.

Area is not remotely a limit, so the real question is can your space boondoggle go up for <10x the price per nameplate watt without wrecking the ionosphere, eliminating 2.4GHz comms, damaging ecology, and being unavailable to the 70% of the world that don't have a space program?

Then even if you do that, is the petajoules of energy you need to put it up there ever going to pay off or are you better off just burning the thousands of tonnes of methane or hydrogen required?

I don’t have a solution but want to echo the sentiment that it is weird that people do not have a picture of themselves as their profile picture. Cartoon characters and random photos are very unprofessional IMO and I wish people would take the 5 minutes required to take a decent selfie and use that at least. Especially with everyone being remote, it’s nice to have a photo to match a face of a person that you will see in person very infrequently. As an amateur photographer I’ve thought about offering to take portraits at the next office gathering. Some people just take terrible photos of themselves. The classic shot with the camera too low pointed straight up the nostrils.
If you look at lawyers, you can see a narrow pipeline where there once was a wide funnel. People from top law schools and people who distinguish themselves early basically get groomed for partnership, and other lawyers have a hard time cracking 6 figures. I assume this will be the same for artists and software engineers too.
Up for me!

One thing to consider is the growth of cache. If you have better L3 hitrate (which you should given the doubling of L3 cache and 10x growth of L2 cache), you ease up the memory pressure a bit.

So the big questions on this and Intel next-gen process releases:

1) so it is just the process that gives the Apple ARM laptops their superior battery life?

2) if so (I doubt it will be), when will there be as good a performing laptop example in x86?

3) if not (as I suspect)... what is the actual response to the M1 gauntlet by Intel/AMD? THeir own ARM chips?

If Wintel tries to go ARM, it is the last opportunity for Linux desktop inroads, or perhaps an opportunity for Windows to go full-core Linux with windows as the UI.

At this point after 25 years of linux desktop being subpar, I welcome a major player, even goddamn Microsoft, and yes I remember every horrible thing Microsoft has done in the last 40 years of my life, to take the bull by the horns.

Microsoft is the lesser of two evils. Apple will dangerously close the freedom of the software on their machines to push everything to app stores. Microsoft, to their credit, I think the first time I have ever praised them, is more open in their platform approach historically.

But... nah, it won't happen.

The original Dell battery swelled up and was replaced under warranty. The replacement battery lasted a couple of months and was so swollen it broke my keyboard and trackpad.

Dell support refused to fix it and couldn't provide me with a battery because they were completely out.

I tried 3 different vendors and all 3 batteries failed to work because Dell has battery DRM.

I can't even use it plugged in because the GPU/CPU throttle themselves without a battery hooked up.

My i7, 32gb ram, 4k laptop is a giant dud. Never again.
> 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.

As stated by OP, this is a subjective opinion: The enforcement of a particular viewpoint on the issue of portraying someone from [insert country/background here] is not an easy problem to solve.

Stereotyping will inevitably occur as a result of generalization & snapshots of an intended (X := culture/background/country/activity/etc): They're the result of picking the most commonly-seen & widely-known/believed aspects of X at that point in time & adding their stylizations to it, in an effort to conserve mental energy when it comes to recalling aspects of X. While bad stereotypes will definitely exist, to dismiss it as an outright "bad" is an overly broad stroke of opinion: They will exist because at that point in time, the stereotypes were relatively accurate to them when it came to portraying X.

> 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.

...There's a paradox in the "it was never funny" statement: If it was never funny to them, it wouldn't have been that popular in the first place - Either it was funny enough then to still be remembered & now be considered a (racist depiction)/(heavily-negative-stereotypical mimicry) in the Western world, or that it wasn't funny & consequently forgotten about right then and there. Various other states can exist in between the 2 aforementioned extremes, but it must've been funny enough to them to still be noted down in the written word.
I think I’ve written shellcode for CTFs that’s less fragile than this :P
You can't compare in-person and e-commerce payments in that way. The risk for the merchant and the customer is completely different:

A physical merchant usually has a storefront in a public place that they can't abandon on a whim, a reputation to lose etc, whereas the customer is usually anonymous and mobile. This is why customers are generally ok with paying using a (to them) irreversible/final payment method, and merchants will insist on it.

In e-commerce, the risk lies almost exclusively with the customer: An online store's reputation is not easy to judge (and brand impersonation is its own risk), and even at reputable merchants, the time between order and delivery is much longer, goods can usually not be inspected ahead of time etc.

Not coincidentally, the various card schemes' rules reflect this circumstance by assigning default liability for online payments to the merchant (or their acquiring bank, in case of a fraudulent or bankrupt merchant), whereas for in-person payments it lies with the cardholder (or in case of fraud with their issuer, in some circumstances).
No such thing as small when you don't know what features of your product users rely on. You might affect 0.5% of users at any release but given that is different users each time you will piss of many of users. The thing is, no one seems to care since everyone is doing it.
