This feels like déjà vu, because at one point the tech community was saying that a private company, a CEO, can do whatever they want. They can totally block people they don’t like politically. Now it seems one of their own is doing it and it’s not sitting well with people. A little hypocritical.
The idea that you have to share the same politics or perspectives as the mod is the problem, and promotes walled gardens and groupthink. The exact phenomenon of mods killing anything they disagree with is what killed reddit.

You need 20 or so lanes of freeway and 200m^2 of parking per car (paid for collectively through enforced parking minimums) and on/off ramps and arterials and collectors and double the per area infrastructure (sewers, water, power, drainage) to match the capacity of a single two way train line with right of way. Once you have that you need to pay upkeep on all of it which is more than the transit costs. Then you still need to widen it because it's full so you're out even more. And that's not counting all the externalities which absolutely dwarf those costs.

The 'one time cost' is something you're signing up to do every year at ever increasing cost until you go bankrupt or give up and build transit.

Okay, so if the employer asks its employees to work 24-hour shifts instead of the normal 8 hours and they agree amongst themselves to refuse, is that a strike or not?
The reality requires balance. For example, in university courses, prerequisites are required and enforced for good reason.

People try all the time to learn calculus with a weak foundation in precalculus, and they really struggle unnecessary. People also try to learn physics with a weak foundation in mathematics, with similar results. I would argue that the same is true for software development. You can develop bad habits (e.g. not using a style guide at all) by not doing initial prep work first first.

I agree that some people put things off indefinitely and end up in "tutorial hell," and for them it's better to err to going right to doing. But it's not always the case, and sometimes educational opportunities (e.g. getting work experience before starting a company) can really increase your skills.

Yeah, and when China decides destroy their fabs with missiles. What are are you going to do then. In case you don't know, missile defense doesn't actually work well.
> and per Occam's razor, COVID is the best explanation we have for the excess deaths.

I don't buy that. It upsets me how people skirt around what should be a straightforward, reasonable question to answer. "Did people die with covid or from covid". Without knowing that, all you can do is look at shadows. What age bracket did these deaths come from? Does it line up with what we know about who is most at risk from covid?

... And even then, the demographics most at risk of covid are the same that are at risk for many, many other things too. And when we scared the living fuck out of people such that they stopped getting routine care a lot of deaths could start to occur.

I've yet to hear any "expert" actually assert that the "official death count" is composed of only people who died as a direct result of covid. All I ever hear is people dancing around the issue. Which really ought to make one wonder about the statistics presented. After all Occam's Razor would suggest that the simplest course of action for these "experts" would be to assert that all deaths were "from covid"--they'd love to assert that. Yet they dont. Why is that? Hmmmmmm........
Taiwan doesn’t even see itself as a independent, the government there still claims all of (Qing) China.
They can make the chips themselves. SMIC 7nm is thought to be equivalent to the original TSMC 7nm which ought to be enough for this.

SD is very capable, especially considering it runs on like 6GB of VRAM (we don’t know on what A100 96GB VRAM clusters DALL-E runs), but you will need to be more specific with your prompts to achieve comparable results.

Benchmarks are often not a great indicator for real world performance, especially for Javascript.

Benchmarks are very constrained, repetitive and often numerical code that is executed a lot of times with similar input. This gives the JIT a lot of opportunity to optimise and specialise for specific types.

These tools are usually not long-running , so code has to be JITed all over again on each invocation. A lot of code will probably only be executed a few times, so might only be executed by the interpreter or low tier JIT.

There will also be a lot of AST construction, walking and modification, which is really difficult to optimise without the guidance of types. A lower level language can use better data structures that don't require so much pointer chasing. Also lots of potential GC pressure if there are multiple internal representations to construct.

JS can be insanely fast for what it is, but alot of the weaknesses are apparent with short-running tooling. There is also a reason why most complex,JS heavy web apps seem to get laggy and slow eventually...
A Taiwanese war immediately means a naval blockade, the us won’t be able to lift it with any certainty. There is 0 interest in a hot war with China among Americans. I doubt we’ll see any American military action that could lead to a deployment other than naval.
Rent, gas & food are soaking up all disposable income, so B2C is toast. B2B is selling to the B2C, so their customers are going away.

Most of the world trades more with China than with the USA, if it is contingent on that then not only does China have access they are most often the biggest trading partner.

But the thing is that cf absolutely is profiting off this. They provide this service to make themselves indispensable, to make themselves an attractive product for people to use. By holding the line here, they will drum up plenty of business that's really happy about their stance, even if it only toes the line kf crosses with impunity.

The goal of the campaign against cf (and anyone else providing them services) is to make it less profitable to provide services to kf. This is the only tool left in the capitalist world we live in.

What cf is doing here is less like advocating for free speech and more like the social version of providing a free open smtp relay. They obscure the true cost of doing something reprehensible.

And they do it at great financial expense completely by choice, because it likely drums up more business for them than it costs.
Not sure I'd say these machine learnings tools are capable of art.

What's the threat model here?

Anyone who needs to interact with the source code needs access to the plaintext version (employees, contractors, CodeClimate/CircleCI/Atlassian/Slack/etc type vendors, etc, all retain access), and people who don't need to interact with the source code should have their access removed in the first place.

This only protects you against a malicious/compromised hosting provider, but usually the hosting provider does more than just hosting, they have their own CI/CD features which need access to code. If you don't want the hosting provider to have access then you might be better off self-hosting Gitlab rather than dealing with restrictions like remotes can only have 1 branch.
This doesn't just ban A100s. It bans those and "any future NVIDIA integrated circuit achieving both peak performance and chip-to-chip I/O performance equal to or greater than thresholds that are roughly equivalent to the A100."

It's a ceiling on the performance that can be exported. In an exponentially scaling industry, this is the equivalent of an announcement in advance of a complete ban on competitive products 2-3yrs out.

Given that both political parties have placed export limits on tech to China, it seems this is the new normal.

> TSMC chips won't disappear

Of course it will. US isn't capable of defending TW anymore. They may spoil an invasion, but there's nothing US can do to prevent PRC from trivially destroying infra the keeps fabs operating. You should expect the entire semi supply chain in East Asian (which supplies the world) to stop functioning if US tries to intervene on TW, especially using JP or SKR infra, nearly everythign critical is within 60m PRC missile range. The reality is PRC has much more leverage over global semi supply chain in even of war vs US who has leverage during peace via sanctions.

> major reliance

Are all in US in terms of high tech industry supported and actual patent fees extracted from production of semi. PRC will lose bunch of manufacturing jobs, but indigenous semi efforts will keep chugging along. Both will be reset to as far back as 1980s tech depending on how PRC escalates, which ultimately cripples US as tech leader more.

Also the Mikrotik didn't install an nginx server on my laptop. I'm replacing the Ubiquiti with another Mikrotik box even though they're apparently not that great for wifi purely on the basis of the UX.
> What countries are the highest consumers of skin bleaching products

This isn't a ranked list, but skin bleaching is unfortunately popular in India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, Senegal, and many other countries in addition to the Philippines.

> Sunscreen is VERY bad for fish...

You're totally right about certain sunscreen ingredients being bad for the environment! In 2018, Hawaii became the first state to ban the sale of sunscreens containing oxybenzone and octinoxate, because they harm coral reefs and ocean wildlife. We do not include these ingredients in our sunscreen.

> Maybe instead you can work on a refill option with Sephora

Our serum is actually being produced in a refillable bottle. For operational reasons (it is very difficult to manage refills from an inventory planning standpoint), we won't offer refills from Day 1, but the plan is to offer refills when we have more sales data.

It's this kind of dismissive attitude that really grinds peoples gears. There is a lot of reasons to be pissed about what society did besides "getting a haircut". For example, we absolutely completely fucked over the younger people when they weren't even an at-risk population.

> not many people are likely to own up to selfishness

I assert the most selfish people were those who expected all of society to shut down because they expected everybody to be as fearful as they were. It is very selfish to make that ask.

And plus, these public health "experts" are unelected and unaccountable. They have absolutely no right to impose any of what they did for more than two years. Especially given none of them could assert any of their mandates even worked in a way that was worth the huge costs.

Dismissing skeptics like myself in the way you did in your comment is incredibly condesending and sanctimonious. It's downright terrifying that voices like yours were allowed to dominate the discussions over the last two years. It's bullying and abusive.
Thank you for posting this! I had no idea that surprise out of network billing and surprise emergency billing were no longer allowed.

There is a weird extraterritoriality concept that essentially says that if you use USD to commit a crime (they have the buy cards in USD at the beginning), that you can be prosecuted in the US, even if you are not from the US.

"any company or individual can be investigated, charged and sentenced because of a remote link with US jurisdiction, such as a transaction in US dollars, the existence of a subsidiary onto US territory, or an exchange with a US citizen."

I may be wrong (I'm just guessing) but I suppose that this may be one of the non-technical and legal reason crypto platforms prefer USDC or USDT rather than pure USD.

Err, you other points aside - that's how you'd contest a nail blockade, with an opposing naval force.
I am ready to buy every piece of hardware, smart phone, laptop, GPU in the minutes after an invasion or a blockade is announced, it will be the single best investment of a lifetime.

+ with such goods if you are in the EU, you have up to 14 days to send them back and get a full refund, so basically you have 14 days to resell them double the price with no downside risk.
Slightly missed the point: NVidia uses TSMC to make their GPUs. TSMC is in (as the name suggests) Taiwan, so either NVidia -by default- is violating this order by exporting to China because the fabs are in China, or they're not exporting to China because the US now officially recognizes Taiwan as "not China".
> This only protects you against a malicious/compromised hosting provider

In the increasingly large set of countries without absolute freedoms, such a thing is a given for any hosting provider.
A major benefit of Rust/Go/Zig is control over data layout. If your language doesn't have value types, the CPU spends a lot of time pointer chasing and trashes the cache. In the worst case a cache miss could have the CPU sitting idle for hundreds of clock cycles while it waits for a RAM fetch to finish. That has a big effect in large programs with many layers of data structures, but it's not usually captured in microbenchmarks.
