Aren't their countries still filled with Soviet era (or even more recent?) environmental hazards, like ubiquitous asbestos and who knows what else?

When i took Russian, we watched a Soviet propaganda film : it bragged about asbestos exports as a sign of Soviet strength, and i think the teachers (one native Russian speaker) perhaps showed it to emphasize what a disaster had already been created (this was shortly pre 2000).
We think so! We have started to see teams working on this and couldn't be more excited: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/admt.2021013...
When someone somewhere breaks the world with a SEV0. At least it didn't happen on a Friday. :)
Well, I spend hours in the actual Discord and many people complain there. SD-based beta is simply not artistic enough for most folks, turning it into more like DALL-E. It's not surprising that people generally put the good results on the sub, not failed attempts.
Exactly! When OP posted about the tarps, I was imagining him covering/uncovering the pool 18 times per day, laptop at hand, watching for "Next Pass".
On the contrary, the "shock therapy" approach that Russia took in the Yeltsin years was, in many ways, prescribed by the West, and ended up being a complete disaster for both your average Russian person, and for capitalism and democracy as a whole, because most people just learned to associate these things with the kleptocracy that occurred in the 90s.
Maybe we should go even further. There is no creativity in whatever that thing generate, it is always sophisticated plagiarism. Therefore training those models out of close regulated research environment and selling the output should be prohibited.
Seeing as the Cold War was a framework for conflicts, not a conflict in itself, I find it extremely illuminating to consider the view of the opposing party. Not a technicality in the slightest.
React's push towards a functional model with all the use* hooks is so sad to watch.

A stateless programming model in a domain where state is so fiercely coupled to program utility is inevitably going to spawn this garbage.

Class based components with MobX managing state was, and still is, a dream to write __and__ read.
Dictionary is good for learning words.
I think that just defined what I like about all the podcasts I listen to. Topic specific, hosted by someone with significant experience in their field.

I would much rather listen to a musician interviewed by someone with experience with recording & songwriting & making albums, who can ask intelligent questions about the craft & process & equipment. (Warren Huart's interviews with music producers are a great example.) Not some random gossip journalist asking "So what are your inspirations on this album" and "what can we expect from your tour".
»A Soviet man is waiting in line to purchase vodka from a liquor store, but due to restrictions imposed by Gorbachev, the line is very long. The man loses his composure and screams, ›I can’t take this waiting in line anymore, I HATE Gorbachev, I am going to the Kremlin right now, and I am going to kill him!‹ After 40 minutes the man returns and elbows his way back to his place in line. The crowd begin to ask if he has succeeded in killing Gorbachev. ›No, I got to the Kremlin all right, but the line to kill Gorbachev was even longer than here!‹«
In the event yesterday they "confirmed that Zen 5 was on track for 2024".
It really feels like for 3D the better quality/compute trade-off would be to have the ML model generate 3D models and animations, and then use a more traditional 3D rendering pipeline (by then with ray tracing and denoising).
Maybe not a popular opinion, I think that had Gorby been able to succeed in his reforms rather than be squeezed from both sides, Russia would have been better off in the long run both economically and politically. Instead, it swung from autocratic communism one day to near total collapse ("free market" anarchy) the next during which those with connections and saw the opportunity gobbled up all the resources eventually leading to a oligarchical authoritarianism.
I would argue you acknowledge the point when you say you know when to avoid stepping outside of your lane ("above my paygrade").

lanes are created for specialization but when you do that it's a clear indicator that if you're not specialized in that area you should be deferring to those who are.

You wouldn't want a devops person telling you how to organize the controllers in your application, and that devops person wouldn't want you telling them how to organize the management of the pipelines. That's not culture, that's necessity due to scale.

The point being made is that should be put off as long as possible because when you put it into place suddenly the communication becomes a lot harder and it's not obvious it's always a benefit until there's real pain from not doing so.

---

I would not consider understanding the large context of things to be stepping outside your lane and I suspect most people wouldn't either.
What AI de novo apps do folks expect to see in the next few years?
The Cold War has definitely ended for Eastern Europe.
still have a 2000 upgraded to 2100 in a closet somewhere. At some level the iPhone was such a disappoinment after having owned a Newton, becuase the early iPhone, even after the introduction of the app store, felt like a bunch of siloed apps, where the Newton "soup" allowed fairly seamless extensibility and interoperability. (well, at least it felt like that in the 90's.)
I bike as my primary transportation, and I get angry at other cyclists on a near-daily basis. I've even yelled "You're the reason people hate bicyclists!" at a cyclist once.

It wasn't always like this. A decade ago, bicyclists in my town were actually very good. Then the cops stopped writing tickets to cyclists who broke traffic laws, and things went downhill fast.

I wish they'd start writing tickets again.

I also drive, and I understand the anger from drivers. But abusing the cyclists does literally nothing to improve the situation. Making a big stink about citing cyclists might.
If you're passing the callback as a prop to a child component, then it will cause that component to be re-rendered every time the parent component renders unless you memoize the callback. This happens because React checks referential identity when determining whether props have changed. The performance hit of unnecessary re-renders can be fairly significant in large React apps.
Well ASML had alle IP problems last year or the year before. I have no doubt their tech was stolen
You don't even have to go deep into the archives to feel uncomfortable with this whole world's treatment of gender issues. Directly from this article:

>At a long desk in the big main room sits an attractive nurse. She offers us an enhancer of B12 or NAD+, through a shot or an IV.

>I get a shot of NAD+, which is supposed to be good for energy and metabolism. NAD stands for Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide, and I don’t know what the + is. (Actually, I don’t know what any of it is, but the nurse said she takes it, and if you saw this woman, you too would ask for a shot of whatever she’s on.)

What are we supposed to take away from this? Is this nurse actually trained for this? If so, isn't the author completely dismissing that training because the nurse is attractive? If not, isn't Rogan basically just hiring a model to pump his guests full of unknown drugs? Neither option is great. And this was written by the VP of Communication for Substack and is approved by Rogan. This isn't some unauthorized look behind the scenes. This is what they want to advertise. It just gives me the creeps.
Currently there is no such law. Should such a law be created it might be relevant.
God, half the reason I didn't look it up is I knew it'd just piss me off again, but I forgot all that about being proud he "broke" someone.

So yeah, I would really not associate my business with this cluster of clowns.
I once heard someone say that any country needs two attempts until democracy works out properly. Maybe it’s the same here.

B: No, those kill too many birds.

A: You don't know what you're talking about, you have no credentials, and you are just motivated to stop renewables!

A': We can paint the rotors to avoid killing birds.

A' seems like a much better response even if A is accurate. Maybe you need to be A if you can't be A', but if you can...

> The truth is: there are many motorists who think bicycles are toys that don't belong on streets

This is unfortunately true. May be the same people that believe that normal cars don't belong on the streets, only sport cars.
I think you're allowed to have a dress code, but if you have a dress code that says you can wear t-shirts with prints, you can't have a dress-code that disallows t-shirts with prints about union membership.

If you look at flight crew on commercial airlines, you'll obviously see that they're wearing a fairly prescriptive uniform - but they'll also frequently wear their ID cards on a lanyard with a message about their union, or about an ongoing contract negotiation.
So it's Wellbutrin and cough syrup, seriously? Could this be as simple as getting a Wellbutrin RX and taking it with cough suppressant? Surely...surely not?
This is not a joke. I was in Russia during the Gorby era (and early Yeltsin) and people indeed hated Gorby for his attempt to crack-down on drunkenness by limiting the purchase of vodka.

Because that's off topic? I'm tired of seeing every single thread about MV3 turn into "Switch to Firefox". Yes, we know about that obvious solution, it's been shouted ad nauseum, I'm interested to see and hear about how ad blockers will work on MV3, not the existing alternative we've already heard about a billion times.

Just look at this very thread, every other comment is just about Firefox and not the content of the post itself.
>But at some point it occurred, "Shouldn't at some point, if we're listening to all this that, we stop being a dumb guy who doesn't know anything and actually have opinion / challenge some of these things with some facts / solid ideas?"

In my experience, the overwhelming majority of people who think they are smart and challenge "dumb" ideas with "facts" are the truly dumb people (see anyone in corporate media or government for examples of this).
It's easy to argue that it's USSR people, not Western, who benefited most from the end of the Cold War.

Great comment! We believe there is a future where continuous inflammation testing will be possible. Here's a team already working on building it: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/admt.2021013...

To your point, we see it as a potentially tighter feedback loop for seeing the impact of lifestyle changes.
Conversely, the thinking can go:

- You're proposing to change something

- That change might cause some harm

- Therefore this must not be done

It's a trolley problem, where you could do something, and might kill a few birds, or do nothing and stand by while nearly a thousand times more perish.
Aren't all animals?
Werner Herzog’s interview/documentary with him just a couple of years ago was very interesting, and I recommend watching.
Ok, having really gotten into optimizing games in the years since Long Covid took me out of the labor pool. (I played universal paperclips 100 times)

It took dying a few times to finally get over my class resentment and start as a Banker (ewwww) instead of a nice honest farmer. It's better, but not a guarantee of success.

I agree with everything you said, so I don't take it as contrary to what I said.
> I see maybe one car a week run a red light in my Brooklyn neighborhood, versus hundreds of bicycle riders.

On the other hand, I see cars run red lights on a daily basis in my city. I've almost been t-boned twice on my bike from cars doing that.
I love this article! I'm going to start my own series of "toys" for my personal edification now, I never thought doing something half-assed would be so much fun! I mean that with the utmost of respect, too, because I have been stressing so much lately trying to build something "commercializable" but I should have been focusing on educating myself and having fun with tiny projects like this, which can be completed in a few days.
Yeah right, because the USSR had never before gone through hardship, and it's the "bankruptcy" that led to ousting of Gorbachev in a coup after his reforms (including a de-facto Prohibition, in Russia of all places!).

Let's also ignore that little thing that Russia is now doing in Ukraine, and put up a "mission accomplished" banner on the clusterfuck that happened in 1991.

The USSR didn't fall apart because of any goodwill, but it did fall apart because Gorbachev fucked up.

Reagan deserves as much credit for this as Obama does for the eruption of Eyjafjallajökull in Iceleand in 2010.

If you disagree, note that the burden of proof is on you here; and you're welcome to point out which specific effects of actions of Reagan's administration caused the collapse of the USSR, along with an explanation why much more severe hardships experienced by people of the USSR in the earlier decades did not.
It's smaller all right. But it is also much more robust.

Late USSR was the kind of society where most everything was in short supply and which has even failed to feed itself. Yes, it had a lot of hardware and people. All of that was for no good, given the awful system in place.

/s, I assume? (you never know!)

Having read a couple of Cold War histories, most recently Tony Judt's excellent Postwar, I learned that what's often missing from American pop-level summaries is the work put in by the people behind the Iron Curtain to bring it down -- for examples, the Polish Catholics and union members, and the Czech dissidents such as Vaclav Havel.

Generally American pop-level accounts like to emphasize American agency in what happened.
Enforcing puritan language just makes you the new butt of jokes. You may think you're changing hearts and minds, but all of them are just humouring you like we humour kids having a temper tantrum. Independent minds, the ones that count, don't humour though, they will always just double down and use the language you hate further just to enrage you, because fuck you - really - who are you to tell me what to say and what to do? Ironically, the words you hate are now even more venomous and powerful in my hand because you fear and censor them so much.

You just reinvented a worse religion, all the uptightness and self-righteousness with none of the community or the forgiveness.
The point is that people are not obligated, period. This obligation thing is just an attempt at trying to find fault with actions that are completely reasonable.

As for your question, I've already explained the context around Jon Stewart and I have no interest in a culture war.
Anyone interesting in learning more about Gorbachev's life, I recommend watching Werner Herzog's Meeting Gorbachev.

v-cache and HBM are two entirely distinct technologies, there are currently no products that use both and there are not even any rumors of any products that would use both.

v-cache is AMD:s branding for attaching additional SRAM cache directly on top of the die using TSMC hybrid bonding, HBM is a JEDEC standard for DRAM. They have literally nothing to do with each other.
I think the big difference is the oligarchs. The USSR had already been transitioned to a resource state, and there was no actual rebuilding that needed to happen. The Marshall plan was almost easy because you could tally up all the broken bridges and say “itll cost us $X to fix”. What’s the equivalent for post USSR? What ended up happening was oligarchs swooped in to take over from the central planners, and it’s not clear how the US could have helped steer it differently short of going to war with Russia’s upper class.
> BSD (including FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD)

I'm going to strongly disagree; BSD hasn't been a single operating system since 1995 (4.4BSD-Lite Release 2, the last BSD version from Berkeley). The extant BSDs are closely related, derive from a common original source, and semi-frequently share code back and forth, but they're separate systems with different code and different ABIs.
Democracy does not imply friend of or aligned with the West.

Russia has historically been an imperial power and seeks to further its own power and perceived interests, and they certainly refuse to be under foreign/Western/American domination.

A democratic government could mean less reckless actions but it wouldn't necessarily mean friendlier actions.
Memoizing the callback prop only matters if you wrap the child component in "React.memo".

If you don't wrap the child component with "React.memo", every time the parent renders the child will render regardless of prop equality, even with memoized props/callbacks.
Perhaps this is the wrong place to ask, but it seems relevant. Having skimmed the documentation I can't see any options around automating selection/clicking of dialogue box buttons?

I have a user who has limited dexterity, and the ability to have a macro that selects/clicks on (modal?) dialogue box buttons based on their label (OK/Cancel etc.) would be a life saver for them. (A pre-determined set of keystrokes based on knowledge of the tab order would not work - this needs to be generic, based on the button text for my application.)

As things stand, I'm looking at hacking a video capture device and openCV together, but I can't help but think this must be a solved problem and I just have poor google-fu?
Also in a Mastodon thread: https://mastodon.social/@tbernard/108912261224740915
To your last paragraph, yeah that's kind of the case. We want to use the AI generated as-is more or less to showcase what it produces, so editing those sentences you mention to be more consistent with each other would mess with that. Plus, trying to finish a short story once per week while working a full time job (we currently have one main author on the team) kind of necessitates rushing things and not polishing that much.

So the intent is not to write a particularly well-written narrative so much as a fun/entertaining read that showcases what the AI can bring to writing today (even if it's flawed, as you say).
Perhaps we'll aim for more polished writing or more human editing in the future, we are still figuring things out as we go!
The locals in power have to want to do it too. As soon as enough don’t want it, it is over.

I’m skeptical of the idea that you can impose Democracy.

what?!

It was pretty much the USSR policies that forced them into bankrupcy.... as it did in every other socialist state.

Unless you happen to understand Finnish, subtitles are mandatory (and very accurate AFAICT). There is a link to a dubbed version in the comments if that is preferred.
Andrei Piontkovskiy, in addition to two known World Wars, considers the Cold War as the World War III and the current war in Eastern Europe as the World War IV. His parallels are that WWII was fought by Germany dissatisfied by the results of WWI, and WWIV is fought by Russia dissatisfied by the results of WWIII.
Just wondering why focussed on home-testing for 3-4x the price versus working with a central lab that is optimized for lowering their costs. Especially private lab chains might be interestes in additional business.
The focus could be rather on results tracking & interpretation that could be done for example from remote doctors for more rural areas.

I actually have zero problems with that happening. Also, your opinion of your own ability to use sarcasm successfully is at the very least highly suspect.
The investors are adults who are expected to be able to look out for themselves. VCs, doubly so.

There are probably way more crooked VCs than crooked startups, by volume of money skimmed. Giving investment money to a crooked VC is even dumber than to a crooked startup. I.e., they deserve to be milked. They may cease to invest, after some time.
Yeah, I don't know if this article is a great look for Substack. Sounds like the author at least suffers from FOMO and falling prey to peer-pressure.
This is a pretty amazing demo.

He might be a decent human, but he's woefully bad at his job.

He might be able to salvage the Soviet Union into something else, but instead most of it turned into multiple heaps of dumpster fire, which after burning and destroying, was then commandeered by thugs, mafia and oligarchs.
Indefinitely doesn't imply permanence to me. I take it as meaning what it means: there is no reasonable prediction for when the situation will be resolved. Which seems correct for this case.
