> I understand what you are getting at here, but I have to disagree. My view is that state sanctioned intolerance is usually a top-down process, primarily driven by economic incentives.

I think it’s a bit of both. Intuitively the comment you are responding to made sense to me. The thinking around it being, imagine literal nazis somehow taking over the US government and attempting to impose their authoritarian regime. It wouldn’t work. There is no appetite in the population for this.

I think it’s a bit of both in the sense governments do notice things for which the population has an appetite for. And they do grow this appetite and exploit it for authoritarian power grabs.

What makes this hard to see or hard to agree it’s happening is the people craving authoritarian measures and the politicians enacting them don’t see it as such. They simply see it as normal, moral, basic decency measures.
Rebellion Defense | Remote, potentially w/travel to DC - USA only | Full Time | Mid-SR Software Engineers | ~$157,000 to ~$236,000 + options

Your team will be focused on building autonomous systems for some of the company's most important initiatives. Domain experience isn't required, but we're looking for strong backend devs.

The work is mostly in Python and Go; your environment will range from being in the cloud to what I like to call "a hostile development environments" (but don't worry, you'll be surrounded by people that have battle-scars in these environments, and they're _fun_).

In addition to the autnomous systems work, I am also looking for engineers with experience working on data platforms but that are comfortable getting their hands dirty on working all across the stack.

About RD: Rebellion Defense is an amalgamation of folks coming from all walks of life (FAANG, Gov, neither) - all of us are aligned on one thing: software systems (ML/AI in this case) "will be critical in how we understand, decide, and act in the realm of national security" - and we have to show up for that.

We have great benefits and a structured interviewing process that you can read about on the job page below.

If you have hesitations (ethical, cultural, compensation, or otherwise) about working in national security, feel free to ping me (kelvin), at <my_name> at rebelliondefense.com. (or ping me directly if you're interested in the data platform side of things).

Here's the job postings if you just want to go for it: https://rebelliondefense.com/rebellion-careers/current-openi...

> this is just as true on the left as on the nationalist right. For example, Marx famously blamed the rise of bourgeois capitalism on the Jews

Your argument is intentionally mixing "is" with "was".

Marx died 140 years ago, and there are no ethno-nationalist voices of significance on the left today. In the US context, after the civil rights movement of the 20th century those people left the Democratic party as the parties realigned themselves.

Today it is largely a right wing phenomenon, carrying forward the tradition of right wing ethno-nationalism that persisted from the previous century.

I really wish people would stop using "conservative" as a synonym for "Republican". In 2022, the Republican party has no claim to the term conservative - about the closest thing one can say is that it used to be conservative, but as the world still continued to change it has now became frustrated and regressive. Conservatives respect institutions and customs - they most certainly don't reject and undermine them.

I personally have always been intrinsically libertarian to my core, occasionally shifting perspective between left-libertarian and right-libertarian, but always wanting to disrupt existing institutions in favor of individual freedom. In 2020 I found myself voting for mainstream federal candidates for the first time in my life, arising from a sense of genuine conservatism. I had taken our institutions for granted, and now they seem to be under coordinated attack - by forces that aren't looking to reform and liberate, but rather to destroy and subjugate.

I haven't been able to tease out how much is simply due to me getting older, but unfortunately I see this trend continuing. In 1973 Roe v Wade was decidedly radical. Five decades and nearly two generations later, women's right to reproductive medical care is an integral part of our society. True conservatism respects that.
To advise those about to enter into employment/contract/other with said company. It would cause harm to the company indirectly, but the intent was not to harm the company, but instead to help those about to interact with them.

You can also negatively review something with the hope that the feedback would prompt the company to make positive change.
You have my sympathy. At the same time, do you really require passion, or can you get by with commitment? I suspect that most volunteer coordinators will be happy with volunteers who are perhaps not passionate but do turn out when they say they will, arrive prepared, and do the work.

Why engage in a back-and-forth with these people? Configure the car you want on the manufacturer website, note the list price, then send the configuration you want to a few dealers in your area and ask them to quote for delivering you that car. Accept the best quote. If they want to debate you about it, ask them to either quote you or forget it. There are even apps which enforce this - they get to quote you but can't communicate otherwise.
Edit: I think PWA installation prompts have improved since I last looked at them a long time ago. They seem maybe OK now, though some of the PWA APIs look OK until you try to use them and find out they don't work as advertised (e.g. web notifications).

Microsoft has a “secret” Intune Deb for Ubuntu, but I must admit I haven’t tested it.

Also because of working most of the time in the same place, I have decided to not invest in a new laptop.

However the solution that I have chosen for travelling, when that is necessary, is different.

For my work, I need a large number of peripheral ports, as many Thunderbolt, USB Ethernet ports as possible and enough ports for multiple monitors. I also need at least 64 GB of DRAM, which excludes a very large number of the current laptop models, especially among the AMD models, which cannot be configured with so much memory.

Also, after becoming older, I strongly prefer a larger display, so I would want a laptop with a 17" display.

While there are a lot of laptop models that match my requirements, they are also very expensive and quite heavy.

I have realized that I can get all the features that I want at a much lower price and even at a lower weight, by using an Intel NUC or similar computer, together with a portable 17" monitor and a compact keyboard for the occasions when I have to carry it.

Even when I have used laptops, I have never used them on my lap or in any place where there was no power plug, so their advantages for such uses do not matter for me.

Besides the lower price and weight, the NUC solution also has the advantage of a better performance than most laptops using the same CPU, due to a better cooler that allows a high steady-state power dissipation without thermal throttling (e.g. in the current Wall Street Canyon Intel NUCs, the Alder Lake P CPUs with a nominal TDP of 28 W are configured to dissipate 35 W for an indefinite time, while many thin laptops with Alder Lake P cannot dissipate even 28 W without throttling).

Hi! My name is Natalia. I'm interested in UX/UI Design.

As an architect with 10 years experience, I decided to turn my creative skill set towards IT industry. I have experience managing projects, working with various stakeholders, building trust and ensuring that clients' needs are met. I ran projects up to 3 people, coordinated the work of the team and other industries, participated in weekly business and technical meetings with the client and on the construction site.

I love architecture and IT as well. When I went to the university I chose architecture. Now I can see that the IT is extremely interesting and has developed so much recently that I would love to try my hand in this direction. In my high school and university days, I also had lectures in programming, analytics, graphics and other subjects related to IT - I did really well there.

When I went on a maternity leave, I had a lot of time to think so I decided it was time to switch to IT. This started with a Women's Career Day in IT workshops. I was inspired by speakers and their stories so I decided to act.
I have already invested in improving my qualifications and recently completed 2 design courses. One of them was an UX Designer Bootcamp, the second one was a web and UI Design course. Both of them guide through the entire design process. After these few months, I know it's for me, I really like doing it.

I'm eager to learn new technologies, so my daily work with a team is as best as possible. I will appreciate a chance to prove my skills, ways of working and attitude.

You can find my e-mail in my profile.

Best,

Natalia

Ya know I bet we even have a lot of overlapping opinions.

It seems I just have a wider definition of “capital holders” than you do.

For example there’s tons of subsidies to the upper middle class that I think should be eliminated. Examples are mortgage interest deductions, homestead exceptions, property tax deductions, long term capital gains…etc.

In my book the recent student debt forgiveness is just like those other things, although I admit they’re not as egregious as the carried interest rule, which was preserved in the inflation reduction act by lobbying efforts.

For the most part I agree with your point that our system is setup to benefit asset owners. It’s awful and needs to be stopped (even if I’m a beneficiary and take full advantage)

Anything that makes people accountable for what they say will have a chilling effect on speech, just like people handle real guns with much more care and attention than they do toy guns. The real question is whether the benefit is worth the cost.

The concerns of parents are somewhat irrelevant to the discussion. TFA is about what is good for kids.
> In your opinion, high quality Open Source Software is the result of VC money?

Some of it? Oh most definitely. It just depends on your business model and whether you need to keep your code proprietary. If you don't, good to go.
I was latchkey kid, born in the late 70s. I don't remember the exact ages, but I was always alone or with friends from a very young age. My neighborhood had a 4 lane highway on one side and rivers on the other 2. The only rule was don't cross the highway. We spent most days in the rivers fishing, water skiing and generally being idiots, and I'll readily admit that I look back at those times and wonder how no one drowned.

My dad also worked a bunch of jobs, one of which was selling firewood. At a young age I wasn't strong enough to move the logs around, but I could run the hydraulic splitter while he did the heavy lifting. I hated it at the time, but looking back at it fondly now because it was time with my dad teaching me about hard work by example. I ended up helping him with many of his jobs often late into the evening.

Are kids too protected today? IDK. Times are different. For example, using guns other than for hunting wasn't much of a thing. If you had a problem with another kid, you threw a few punches in the soccer field and then were friends again the next day. Zero social media meant when I was teased a school and went home, it didn't follow me. So while maybe kids are too protected now, the dangers have changed.
eh. the warranty that they have now issued is less than what the level they want. so people still want to trust them to "underpromise and over deliver" as they say. I'm not convinced it really hurt them.
I'm unfamiliar with vitess, but what exactly is the achievement here?

If you have a shared-nothing architecture, you can keep indefinitely adding nodes to get more throughput. You can easily do a billion qps if you wanted to.

The downside is that you have to eliminate relations (or at least don't expect them to be performant/scalable).

Am I missing something?

The industry lawsuits were so successful that not only did music piracy not go down[0], but they lost a bunch of money and had to cancel the whole legal campaign. Suing individuals for casual piracy only makes sense if you're trying to build an extortion scheme.

Maybe the logic is different for ARM. Maybe they really badly negotiated licenses with Qualcomm and they need to work around that, or they want to protect Cortex core licensing from some hypothetical Snapdragon with a good CPU. However, by doing that you are undermining your own reputation. Nobody wants to be known as Mr. Litigious.

[0] Or at least, Steve Jobs said so in his open letter on DRM. They had telemetry in iTunes and knew how full iPods were versus how many songs people bought.
No, it's not. I think the thing they were asking could be rephrased as "How did the researchers figure out what private beliefs people held if those beliefs were private?"

How does "Wrong hat. Wrong phrasing. Wrongthink." remotely answer that? Those are labels of particular types of actions/beliefs. They are not explanations of how researchers would find out something that people usually keep secret.
Helion fusion to talk at Plasma Physics APS conference
They seem to be willing to lift the veil a bit...

The abstract is a bit of a spoiler..

Author: David Kirtley
Helion’s Trenta prototype compressed Field Reversed Configuration (FRC) plasmas to thermonuclear fusion conditions, reaching 9 keV plasma temperatures [1]. FRC plasmas are fundamentally high-beta and if heated through pulsed, adiabatic compression, they operate in a unique collisionality regime that supports both thermonuclear fusion conditions as well as maintains an ion to electron temperature ratio.
In the presented work, a theoretical analysis of FRC compression to generator-relevant fusion conditions is derived from fundamental scaling laws. This work includes independent ion and electron heating [2], radiation losses [3], empirical particle transport scaling [4], fusion reaction rates, ion temperature distribution evolution, and D, T, and He-3 fuels.
As will be shown, for all operating conditions above 20 keV, a high-beta D-He-3 FRC outperforms a low-Beta D-T plasma in terms of electrical and fusion power output.

That orbit or escape velocity really is that much. The rocket equation is exponential, such that even a small change in the required speed means a large change in requirements. The difference between Earth's escape velocity of 11 km/s and this planet's of 19 is actually quite huge. Imagine you build an 11 km/s rocket as you would on Earth... to get it off this other planet, first you have to accelerate that rocket and all its fuel to 8 km/s.

The rocket equation is Δv = Ve ln (m0 / m1), where Ve is exhaust velocity, m0 is payload mass, m1 is mass including fuel. To get 19/11 as much Δv, you need a fuel/mass ratio of e^(19/11) = 5.6 times greater.
By cash I meant fiat. But yea crypto adds a lot of risk to storing your monies.

You can insure the crypto you have. It’s probs expensive to the point of being not worth it.

People investigate crypto hacks though. And if the perpetrators are in a jurisdiction that you have some legal availability to you can totally use legal means. Basically any western nation will allow such a suit.

To run stable diffusion at home you have to download the model file, which took the equivalent of tens of thousands of hours spread across cloud provided GPUs.

If the model file just vanished from everyone's hard drive one day, and cloud providers installed heuristics to detect and ban image dataset training, retraining the model file would actually take decades for any consumer, even an enthusiast with a dozen powerful GPUs. The image dataset alone is 240TB.
