I had to manually install pytorch for the preload_models.py step to work, because ReduceOp wasn't found. Why even use anaconda if all the dependencies aren't included? Every time I touch an ML project, there's always a python dependency issue. How can people use a tool that's impossible to provide a consistent environment for?
To be fair, the developers added this "feature" and can easily be disabled in the code. The ML just says "this might be NSFW".
yes, it's a very cynical argument along the lines of "abolish the FDA and people will learn how to deal with food and drugs that negligently cause death

we did find a way to deal with it, it's regulation. if the regulation is too slow, fund more people doing the work.

This comes off as inflammatory. It sounds like you're misrepresenting GP's desire to filter out a language they cannot read as a kind of bigotry against the speakers of that language.

That may explain the apparent disapproval from the community.

Because of Svelte’s popularity over the years, many companies are beginning to migrate their applications or build new ones using the framework. However, developers have had difficulty implementing features such as routing in their web applications while using Svelte.
Works great for Korean speakers, who don't really distinguish green and blue like English speakers do.

Some random folk practices I've come across:

* Blocking, stacking and pulling creep camps in DOTA. Unintended behaviours that became core game mechanics.

* Comments in the tag section of Tumblr posts, to avoid the comments appearing in a reblog ("Why do people use tags on tumblr instead of comments?" [1])

* The appropriation of switching MOSFETs such as the IRF510, designed for low frequencies, in homebrew amateur radio QRP power amplifiers. "In talking to International Rectifier, they were floored to find out QRPers were using them at 7MHz or higher." [2]

How to find the most essential training data
From testing a couple years ago (things are likely different now), image pull/setup made a pretty noticeable difference. A 1GB container was about 20 seconds slower than a 500MB one--I assume I/O since Fargate instance size didn't make a difference

On the other hand, ECS still seems slow compared to k8s where things are nearly instance unless you're measuring so ECS control plane speed might be part of the issue, too

When I saw it, I felt the same way (also using Scheme a lot) and I still feel it is messy. However, what I think might be the reason for it, is that it is difficult to store a lambda in Scheme including its whole environment in an object and send that over the wire somewhere else, on a different machine to run. Perhaps distinguishing between Proc, block and lambda gives Ruby a possibility to treat one of them specially, so that it can do these things easily?
Absolutely.

Many here are saying how much they like the feature.

I'd much prefer a "similar repos/projects/people" once I'm visiting a project or person I've _chosen_ to view.

In Minnesota I signed up for a device that the electric company installs on the electrical connection to our AC unit.

Between 2pm and 7pm (I think those are the hours) the company can shut down your AC for 20 minutes at a time.

I can think of twice in 15 years that I noticed it. For that you get a small discount on power June through September.

Good deal.

I like that this allows for more immediate / targeted impact for folks managing the grid.

Something like this for car charging (or even just slower charging?) might be useful?

I expect most (if not all) languages have figures of speech that, just like "improper nouns", tend to mean something only tangentially related to the literal words. Whether most people can recognize and/or understand a novel one immediately likely varies though.

I would agree that you tend to notice this more when learning a different language: As a child, you don't understand many things adults say and pick up these phrases among a lot of other inexplicable language. But when you later learn a new language, any apparent contradictions between the meaning of individual words and their combinations stick out much more.

The definition of a tiny specific monopoly within a niche is meaningless. If you had 30 different factors to describe exactly what each platform does then each of them would be a monopoly in themselves.

A new leader whose first action is to lose a war? I wonder how long he gets to live.

When you just stop the military action it is called a "ceasefire" and requires agreement of both sides. We might see that eventually. Just leaving the land (and people) that, as you have said, people has died for, and doing that for nothing - I don't see how that could be popular. I also fail to see how it may be a good bargaining point. When you give anything in advance you have less stuff to bargain with.
I suspect that there isn’t just something, but that actually there is everything
— all possible worlds, or maybe more formally, all logically consistent structures. In other words, there is no difference between existence and possibility. The answer to why there is anything then boils down to “because it can”.
Now you've just moved your authentication to the SSL PKI.

In that case, use the SSL certs directly. You'd have add support OpenSSH of course, or just convert the certificates to SSH format, but it would be architecturally much simpler.

As to the original question here, the benefit compared to other PKI alternatives (including the SSH PKI in the original question) is that revocation is much easier.

- The goal is a diverse workplace.

- A diverse workplace means many religions, skin colors, sexualities, etc.

- The more diversity, the better the chances some corporate political statement is going to offend co-workers.

- The best policy is to not discuss politics or religion in the workplace. This provides the best environment for diversity.
That would work! You could even run the Postgres inside the VM, and the data inside the DB will be cloned as well between clones.

it is easier for you to assess safety with a search online than it was decades ago, it may be true, but complexity increases faster than general knowledge (much less specific knowledge), thus outweighing that

This is a little odd. There are at least three top-level comments here wondering why anything should be different now from how it was "back in the day", as if that were what the article is about.

But the article doesn't appear to suggest that anything has changed. In fact it says things were much the same when the author was at university in the 80s.

It's a short, sympathetic comment piece that seems to be intended as a kindness to people who are about to start at university for the first time, surely that's all.

Also excludes mention of solar installations and possibility of vehicles supporting V2L to support the grid in emergency.

Much of my take is, if you want an EV then you should be ready for solar as well. EVs and solar are a great combination that can support the grid in emergency.

"Parsons’ first order of business was the plutonium gun. Because it needed a muzzle velocity of at least 3,000 feet per second it would have to be 17 feet long. It should weigh no more than a ton, a fifth of the usual weight of a gun that size, which meant it would have to be machined from strong high-alloy steel. It would not require rifling but needed three independently operated primers to make sure it fired. Parsons arranged for the Navy’s gun-design section to engineer it."

Um. It's not "suction of nothing", it's the pressure of the atmosphere. If the vacuum-"filled" ball were put into another vacuumed container, a small child would have no trouble separating the halves.

The article is behind a paywall, so I'm just going to just say the experiences I have heard from other people. I have never been on a dating app.

The problem seems to stem from an imbalance of the sexes. Men have found it a soul-crushing experience. Women get an abundance of matches, whilst men rarely get any. There are a few men that get an overwhelming majority of matches, the rest get nothing. It's winner-takes-all as far as the men go. Even that seems to be narrowing. Attractive men who would have gotten dates easily in the past find it increasingly difficult.

This would seem great for the ladies, but they seem to face the paradox of choice. With so many good prospects to choose from they have difficulty deciding which one to go for. The result is that all choices seem mediocre. There is a YT vid out there where a US-based Asian male model went onto a dating app. He described the process as brutal. And this is from a good-looking man. His major crime was to be an ethnic.

This seems to feed a further decline. The men try to strike up conversations, only to receive one-word answers from the women. The women put in zero effort because, hey, why would they, there is a plethora of suitors to choose from. Except that that's not how meaningful relationships work. There has to be effort from both parties.

This leads to men putting in less effort as they realise the futility of the exercise. The women complain that men aren't making any effort, and demurring on things like taking women to dinner and paying for it. After all, why would a man do this when the payoff isn't likely to be worth it?

And that's why dating apps are such a sh*tshow.
What are the chances some airports have signed 20 year fuel supply contracts with some leaded fuel supplier?

I think for this to have much traction, some carrot and stick needs to be applied... A $1/gallon tax on leaded fuel that doubles every year ought to be a good incentive to start using lead free stuff.

Build a FUCKTON of nuclear plants and never worry about a fucking electricity bill ever again.

Want to keep the Air conditioning on while you're not even home? Yup, No one cares.

Want to run an audacious amount of carbon capture devices near dense population centers? Yep, absolutely.

Want to desalinate the waters of the pacific and have it ready to pump inland during large scale drought? OF COURSE!!!

The trouble with Nuclear is that it invalidates all the reasons for "Green" politicians to impose excessively wasteful and stupid ideas that dont work, but serve as a slush fund. If we wanted to solve this great pressing carbon emissions problem, we would be building a large nuclear base.

For anyone who's reading this comment and thinking "Wow, AC all day?? What a wasteful way to live!" Congratulations. You are immune to the audacity of using science to solve problems that previous generations considered impossible.

An infinite amount of energy represents the greatest opportunity for humanity for a thousand years. We should have invested and take a giant leap in our quality of life half a century ago.

> The popularity ratio of garbage books vs non-garbage is nowhere even close to the equivalent ratio on social media,

The ratio of absolute nonsense and garbage books to decent literature is probably 99:1, if not higher. It's got to be the same for TV shows, and movies.

> where instantaneous feedback loops of dopamine shots are pushing the balance in favor of the worst kind of content, I admit TV already did some of that but social media platforms are on a whole new level.

We've been having this argument for decades - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/children-80s-never-fe... this is a great example of it. People were worried about that playing video games will turn you violent, or that novels will make it difficult to differentiate between reality and fantasy.

I have several different setups. I bought a domain and pointed it to Zoho to have 'easy' email and apps. I also have a fully self-hosted mailinabox setup, and I've done things "by hand" too, just because it's fun.

These days it's hard to mess up even by hand, you'd have to go out of your way to have your server turned into a zombie spam farm or whatever.

The only "problem" I've had recently was buying a server and finding the IP was already spam blacklisted. Getting removed from the blacklist was just a matter of submitting a request on the relevant maintainer's site.

The only major gotcha I had was the time I linked my domain registration account to an email address that was linked to a domain held on that account. I went on holiday and missed the renewal bill, then couldn't log in to pay because email was one of the 2FA steps. I felt like an absolute moron contacting support about that one!

> I have no idea where it comes from.

I went to archive.org and searched for intro books in statistics (there are a lot!). All of them gave preference to the average of the two middle values. One of them also pointed out there were valid alternatives.

"Since there are 10 values [in the sorted list], the median is the average of the fifth and sixth values. However, it could be also be 4.1, or 4.9, or any other value between 4 or 5, since each of these values divides the 10 values into two equal groups." - https://archive.org/details/introductiontost0000chao/page/54...

"For a sample of size n, the sample median is the ... Average of the two order statistics in the middle if n is even." - https://archive.org/details/introductiontost0000salv/page/64...

"We find no middle value; therefore, the median is the mean of the two middle values" - https://archive.org/details/US_Navy_Training_Course_-_Introd...

"The sample median for this collection is given by the middle observation if n is odd. If n is even, the sample median is the average of the two middle observations." - https://archive.org/details/introductiontost0000milt_g9m2/pa...

"sample median = ... the average of the middle two values if n is even" - https://archive.org/details/introductiontost0000peck_o4j9/pa...

"If there were an even number of observations (say, six instead of five), the calculation would be more complex. We would need to find the middle pair of numbers (the third and fourth observations), and then find the value that’s halfway between them, by adding the values together and dividing by two." - https://archive.org/details/introductiontost0000haan/page/n6...

"If there is an even number of values, the median is equal to the mean of the two middle values of the ordered set." - https://archive.org/details/introductiontoec0000merr/page/18...

>> Quiet quitting is the realization that if you work hard and push yourself in an employee role you're a sucker.

Not entirely, there are bosses and orgs which genuinely reward effort, and where the cost/benefits of extra endeavour can be fairly reliably assessed.

Sadly that is of course not a universal state of affairs, or even a particularly common one. But it is out there!

Maybe there has been a general worsening of the "management class"? Maybe too many people have been getting promoted beyond their talents and interests? Poor managers who don't recognise talent and effort, or develop their teams' skills and duties, are just that, poor managers, and perhaps the corporate world has collectively taken its eye off the ball and allowed standards to slip.

And maybe this all becomes horribly normalised to the point where a good manager is somehow an exception, and over time we have now hit a tipping point where millions of otherwise good, capable, engaged employess have been pushed too far?

To be clear I think good managers are a true boon to a business - reducing attrition, increasing productivity - and leaders should be laser-focused on inculcating good, strong management practice, explicitly, not by crossing its fingers and hoping.

Updated my post after I looked it up. I got a few details wrong initially.
They're still around, I use one because the sound chip on my motherboard somehow failed. I'm allowed to use a subwoofer and 2 sets of speakers I got at goodwill for like 20 bucks. These speakers I use were like 200 dollar speakers back in the 90s so despite them being old they're still good and still work fine. Soundblaster mainly makes the soundcards, granted mines old from 2013 but it works fine on a modern PC. I just checked the site and they made a 2022 version so there's obviously STILL a demand for them, probably because it's hard to get an inexpensive subwoofer unless you buy second hand and it's actually cheaper to buy a separate sound card for 45 bucks and buy used speakers than buy a modern bluetooth or USB one. I saw other more expensive options but went with the least expensive because I needed sound and believe me it's better than the soundbar I used before for music.
So you are splitting hairs by, after the fact, by distinguishing between "houses" and "housing"; making up numbers of what regulations cost (not the same as the total cost of housing, right?) and insisting that fireproof cladding just isn't worth it in purely monetary terms.

You're right though, it does sound callous.
