Outside the control of something does not mean the same as outside the reach of. For a typical tech example consider e.g. owning a word processor vs using a word processing software as a service. In the former your usage of that is outside the control of any central authority, but certainly not outside their potential reach.

If the government deems your copy of that software is illegal, they may come for you [and it], but at the same time they can't simply whisk it out of existence - because they don't control it. By contrast, in the SaaS case - they can indeed simply whisk it out of existence, so far as you are concerned.

This also has nothing to do with conceding who "controls property allocation." It's all about control/ownership.
> That is casus belli, legal grounds for war, by any reasonable understanding of international law.

Perhaps. But anything the US Military could do about it would only make the problem even worse. It being a legal reason for war is irrelevant because it isn't a rational reason for war.

SEEKING FREELANCER | Los Angeles, CA or Remote

We are looking for two short term contractors.

#1) WordPress plugins

Looking for a skilled WordPress plugin developer to help us polish off some plugins we've built, and later implement a way to charge for some of them. I estimate this is a week or two of work.

#2) JS Animations

Looking for a freelancer who specializes in JS animation. Looking to build an internal tool to animate parts of a website. Must have a low level understanding of browser animation APIs (if you don't know what requestAnimationFrame does, then this isn't for you). Probably only a day or two of work for someone good.

We are based in Los Angeles, but you can be anywhere.

Of course I don't always let the kid do it, but I try to keep an open mind for what they're capable of.
realistically speaking, if done correctly - SSR would allow the site to work without JS. Now, in practice, that comes down to what is required on the client side for interactivity - which is a case by case basis, and if your site doesn't require JS on the FE at all, why would you use it for the backend

Poland seeks $1.7T CDN in reparations from Germany for WW II
Geopolitics is strange. I assume Poland is also asking Russia for a similar amount as both Germany and the USSR invaded Poland in 1939? I also assume Poland is willing to pony up a fair slug of money to reimburse Germany for the territory seized when Poland was shoved bodily westward during/after WW II? And will the USSR reimburse Poland or return the lands it took during this "shove"?

Sounds to me than Germany and Poland can call it even with the $$ for reparations going to pay for the stolen land. This leaves Poland and Russia to settle matters. Perhaps the Warsaw Pact had something to add to that equation?

> Did they account for the reduction in death in 2020 from other causes due to the lockdowns?

How about an increase in deaths from other causes due to the lockdowns? Because that happened in the US, where covid-19 only accounts for about 60-70% of the excess deaths: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2778234
Yes, I think this is about right. I see a lot of threads focusing on APIs and ignoring another thing that happened right around the late 1990s to early 2000s: MMX introduced SIMD to the PC platform. Suddenly real-time DSP algorithms were feasible for playback and synthesis on the host CPU instead of requiring a peripheral with an embedded coprocessor. This allowed soundcards to be refactored as "just" hardware IO channels, with other signal processing effects happening in the application.

At roughly the same time, there were more peripheral buses like USB and Firewire being introduced, which meant that an add-on peripheral did not need to be an internal ISA/PCI card in order to have sufficient bandwidth for rich audio streams. These external devices could also be built with lower noise/interference compared to the boards inside a computer.

And of course, silicon integration always increased so that the bundled onboard IO chip became good enough for many users. So, add-on peripherals had to move up market or into niche settings. That is a bit like how the iGPU in Intel CPUs got rid of the market for basic VGA/XGA/etc. graphics cards for office machines.
I'm quite impressed at how nice WSL is. It's very snappy, great internetworking with the host Windows, and is kept up-to-date. The only thing it's missing, for me, is nl80211 support (I do wifi) and usb-serial. I do a lot of console app dev in WSL regardless.

If a company really wanted to, it could dissolve itself and the owners disappear. Even if you wanted to force a company to hold up its warranty you'd have to sue them, and who would do that for a $250 backpack? That is what Linus was trying to say.
It's very simple: if you can do five days' worth of work in only four days, you can do even more if you maintain the same level of productivity over five days.

A more interesting approach would be to combine the following:

* Unlimited holidays (offered by more and more companies)

* No difference within week and weekend days - you choose your free days whenever you want

* Fully remote, async work

That's a nice fiction to hold on to. The reality is that the West Bank is cut up into zones, its more like a lot of islands with some limited self governments (that are dominated and corrupted by Israel) with Israel controlling all internal travel and Israel is constantly taking more of the land step by step for 40 years.

If its a country, then its boarders are being moved step by step every year.

So it not really a country in any sense other then by a few people who want to claim Israel is not an apartheid state.

It's not parts of Canada - it's all of Canada. A member of our extended family runs a construction firm in Western CA and they've been building suburban tract housing EVERYWHERE - from Nanaimo to Abbotsford to Edmonton. And the same kind of sprawly suburban tract housing thaat exissts in North America is a popular status symbol in India, Vietnam, Malaysia, and China to name a few. Drive around Chandigarh, Delhi NCR, HMC, or Johor sometime. Also, if talking about Europeans, it's probably good to specify which part of Europe. Milton Keynes, Amstelveen, Dublin, Aarhus, and Espoo all feel very North American suburban in style.
It seems that there's a very pessimistic trend with regards to estimating the feasibility of engineering human biology for inhabiting outer space. Everyone just wants to let AI do it.

Some individuals, in some particular professions, may have this choice. But there are structural forces preventing this on a population level.

Most people in the US live paycheck to paycheck as is, and it's not that they're spending frivolously. Our standards of living are based on what's needed for subsistence, yes, but also cultural and historical. Based on how we grew up and how our parents grew up, and how culture (e.g. hollywood) tells us we should be living. So most people are trying to live according to established standards.

It's already much harder for the present generation to live at the standard of the previous generation or two (e.g. buying a home is less of a possibility). Choosing, then, according to our "freedom", 20% less pay would require also choosing poverty according to established standards of living (i.e. it would look like poverty).

The narrative of "the individual" is a nice narrative from the perspective of the elites of our society to distract from the fact that, as always, there is class conflict and systematic forces in place. Of course, don't get me wrong: it is nice that there is some legitimate freedom on an individual level in the US. But for one, that legitimacy is overblown via mass media marketing (e.g. of course Jeff Bezos is going to tell his rags-to-riches story for everyone to hear). And more importantly, there is also the question of the overall structural forces that establish the population level structure.

Productivity has risen 61% since 1979: https://www.epi.org/productivity-pay-gap/. 40 hour work weeks have been the standard. Wages only rose 17% in that same period. The capitalists have been able to bank the other 44%.

A 3-day work week (aka 40% less productivity if you assume a perfectly linear relationship between time working and productivity) would still mean a nice little gain for the capitalist compared to 1979 numbers.

If you've worked, you've contributed to that 44% productivity gain. Why should you need to revolt or organize to get what you've already worked for? Capitalists are taking a larger and larger share every year. Is that ethical?

I get that pragmatically many aspects in life are a power struggle, but "throwing the question back" is really a way of putting the burden of fixing an unfair system back on the victim.

My first-gen M1 MacBook Air with 16GB takes just under 4 minutes per image. Running top while it's generating shows memory usage fluctuating between 10GB and 13GB, so if you're running on 8GB it's probably swapping a lot.
I'm not old enough to be an expert, just old enough to have used the leftovers (new computers were too expensive!): many many devices were uppercase only, card punches, ASR-33 teletype, the Telex system, lineprinters, "glass" teletypes, FORTRAN, COBOL, and now that I think of it, Morse code/telegraph had always been. There was a ton of infrastructure that was uppercase only. You may be right that it wasn't ASCII's fault. Perhaps the first version of ASCII made sure to encompass what had been, and then saner heads said "let's allow for future progress".

i'm not going to explore the entire history, but just looked this up. TL;DR example, the addition of lowercase characters represented a jump from 6 bits to 7 bits at the hardware level:

"A six-bit character code is a character encoding designed for use on computers with word lengths a multiple of 6. Six bits can only encode 64 distinct characters, so these codes generally include only the upper-case letters, the numerals, some punctuation characters, and sometimes control characters. The 7-track magnetic tape format was developed to store data in such codes, along with an additional parity bit."

Not so much "work" per se, but something that I've been thinking about quite a lot recently is how ML practitioners test their systems.

For example, before launching a model to prod, I've commonly seen that teams have a suite of datasets/evals, and a model has to be at least as good as the existing model in production before replacing it.

But what about the training pipelines? You can have unit tests for all the individual components, but the analogy of "integration tests" would involve just training a full model, which might be very expensive for large neural networks.

One option would be to have a special tiny dataset and tiny model that can be trained fast on CPU. But this would be an imperfect test of the real system. I've also never seen this in practice, so maybe it wouldn't actually be useful.

Curious if anyone can chime in with their experiences?
The problem is no politician has real solutions in this area. I think the reason is because climate change is blamed on individual behavior, rather than the fact that in current year our entire civilization is consuming more and more power and that is probably not going to decrease (at least not around the world). Whatever change is made as individuals only shifts the power consumption to a different sector, and of course the push for more EVs will only continue to stress the grid. Until we solve the power consumption of our entire civilization, there are only two potential outcomes: everyone abandons the comforts of modernity, using less power, which means less products, less innovations, less technology, etc... or only part of the world does that, which means the gap between rich and poor will grow to sci-fi dystopian levels. The only solution on the horizon for everyone is nuclear fission or fusion.

Speed through space + Time adds up to the speed of light or something like that (not a physicist).

Hey, been working on this for quite a while and looking for feedback.

It's meant for co-workers that are interested in carpooling together, to and from the office, where only people from the company can join. You can quickly discover who passes who on the way to work, and find carpooling suggestions. You'll see matches grouped into three buckets: people you pass, people that pass you, and people that live nearby. Hopefully there will be options for both drivers and riders. Also, as new people join you’ll get notified via email about new carpooling suggestions.

My main todo right now is marketing. Probably some demo videos and maybe a demo map on the website. It's sort of a problem since 80% of the cool stuff is hidden behind a signup. So, I'm hoping a demo video/demo map will move that public so people have incentive to try it out.

I have mixed feelings about your point 1. For example, I fully support employee's right to talk about unions, or discus their salaries with one another. But if I ran a coffee shop, say, and my employee seriously reduced my income by standing on the sidewalk outside the store on his off hours and insulted customers, I'd feel like I shouldn't be forced to fund that activity by employing him. Admittedly, it gets a little more complicated if he were there telling them that coffee is a neurotoxin that will turn their french bulldogs gay. In either case, he's still driving away my customers.

There's a point where freedom of speech intersects with freedom to not be harassed. If someone doxxes me in an argument, that's one thing. If they publish my kids' pictures and the address of their school, that's another entirely. But where the point of "acceptable" lies is difficult to nail down. Intimidation and threats can take many forms, depending on the relative position and power someone has in society, not to mention their histories. What would be a dumb insult to me might be a direct threat to someone else, and vice versa.

I agree that social media and today's news media operate largely on a Lacanian outrage mechanism that is divisive, self-amplifying, and accelerational. I don't have a good solution to that. My general inclination has historically been towards government regulation, but even the law depends on some degree of a shared vision of society. If you have no faith in the community and feel no obligation to it, or worse yet, feel that it is illegitimate on its face, you can always find ways to circumvent the letter of the law. That phenomenon has been increasingly weaponized, and I can't see any good ways to break that cycle.
I'm with you on overprotecting kids being a bad thing, but it's pretty rich for The Atlantic to be telling parents not to teach their kids to fear the world, when their stock in trade, like that of practically all media outlets, is to constantly teach parents to fear the world.
