PoS is not as bad as Bitcoin maximalists make it out to be. Bitcoin mining is also centralized in the sense that it requires a lot of capital in order to mine... It gives more power to the fiat-rich.

I managed to get into a top forging position on a major DPoS blockchain in spite of both founders and the CEO of the project hating my guts. It's not fair to suggest that it's like institutions within the fiat monetary system. Imagine being promoted as a Google executive if CEO Sundar Pichai, Larry Page and Sergey Brin all hated you; that would never happen.

That said, I think it would be dangerous to have 1 PoS blockchain with no other alternatives. The presence of alternatives is what enables any meritocracy to exist.
I'm a parent down here in Texas fighting blowhard book banning parent groups.

First, this "take" is nonsense. Pornography is "I know it when I see it" - so show me the goods, you can't just declare Nabokov's Lolita "obscene" prima facie - and second, TEA (Texas Education Association) already has a policy regarding declaring books "inappropriate" for school libraries.

https://tea.texas.gov/sites/default/files/efb-local-library-...

They are not making this a huge issue (good enough for the NYT) because some bulk book buying system incidentally brought in a book that falls afoul of this policy. The policy worked! The out of policy books were identified and removed.

This is 100% about controlling others and their beliefs on race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender identity, and (based on my own experiences thus far) religion and political affiliation as well.

These people are hypocrites, pure Wilhoit conservatives (an in group that the law protects but does not bind), they're anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers (don't tell me how to parent!) who think their little snowflake will turn gay or racially sensitive or (God forbid) openminded through ... memoir osmosis? ... and so want to ban those books in a library so no one else's kids can read them either (let me tell everyone else how to parent)

Nobody is forcing anyone to read every book in the library. The great thing about libraries is they contain both mirrored and windowed media, and it's up to you the reader to choose the books you want to read and decide for yourself if those ideas are any good or not.

But you've snuck in another dependency there: that if the company uses Angular, they then have to have people familiar enough with the codebase of Angular itself that they can fix security bugs in it if they crop up. This is patently nontrivial, and a world away from having people internally who can fix bugs in...their internal framework...that they developed.
I think this is very shortsighted, but also not unexpected. As far as I understand, someone who is autistic often does not consider themselves to be autistic. But also autism is a problem of social cues. Maybe this person is in capable of self regulation and monitoring, and so he thinks he’s great, it’s everyone else who is bad. That’s just a classic defense mechanism.

Bottom line, working with someone who is autistic can be extremely difficult, but it’s not their fault, it’s mostly their defense mechanisms in response to the way people are treating them.
It’s an absolute hyperbole to come to the conclusion we’re on a downtrend in civil rights and becoming China, NK, and Russia because of one issue.

>My sense is that this, along with a lot of other writing decisions in shows like The Simpsons, is a form of “cashing in” on the investment of developing a character.

I wouldn't even quote cashing in, the effect is just an artifact of chasing demand signal to improve revenue. It's the same as iterative agile development that chases short term demand signals and over time tries to optimize the aspects that bring in money. The underlying driver for all these effects is capitalism.

You see characters take on bigger or smaller roles over time depending on audience response often. Jar Jar was cut back drastically Star Wars 2 and 3 compared to 1. Some characters even get spin off shows, like Young Sheldon from Big Bang Theory.

I'm able to run it on my rx6900 xt on Linux.

I tried using a docker container and it took 3 min to generate a prompt. However it seems that 2:45 min is somehow spent on tje GPU and finally the remaining 15 seconds the GPU gets utilized.

There's a line from the movie The Godfather where one of the bosses is talking about selling narcotics:

"For years I used to pay my people extra, so they wouldn't do that sort of thing. But they come to me and say, 'For three or four thousand dollars, we can make fifty thousand.' And that they can't turn down."

I don't see why "oh no China" is any better than "oh no groomers". It's the usual, they provide some rationalities, they provide some numbers as to the problem, but the predicted effects are largely missing numbers and the entire thing comes across as fearmongering. And of course, an absolutely certainty that these things are necessary "for the good of the country/people". Bonus points: it is proposed after a related event happened just recently.

Infinite scrolling isn't so much of an issue but I've noticed a few sites don't seem to handle feeding content into it well even when they undoubtedly have the content to back it. A few image sites I've checked seem to do this pretty poorly and reload previously loaded content repeatedly and it's annoying; I understand what is happening on the server side, but I'm shocked that this happens. Even Youtube does this and the video I just watched is in the suggested videos feed fairy high up on the list, which makes no sense to me.

It's also annoying to fill the scroll with unrelated content -- Twitter (as best as I can tell) seems to do this but I'm not sure how far it goes as Twitter spams login prompts after what I assume is the end of the main thread.
No disrespect to you, friend, but a lot of what you said could apply to the mentality of an abused spouse. ‘Just don’t say the wrong thing, don’t set them off…”
PoS is an adequate (although very complicated) consensus algorithm. But it's not a (fair) coin distribution method. It just lets everyone keep their share of the pie.

Coins that start without PoW have one entity holding 100% of supply that other people need to buy from them, leading to terrible wealth concentration.

Someone claiming “technical impossibility” in banning mining implies the government can’t catch them mining illegally. Most criminals don’t pay tax on their gains.

> IMO Moving from Bitcoin to e.g. Ethereum is akin to banning ICE engines and moving to EVs

You have a lot to learn then because your analogy is weak. PoW vs PoS debate is one of decentralization, power, democratization and control.

As for bitcoin being dated: it’s ossification is intentional. It is, by design, a predictable and reliable monetary system.
I’m going to get partisan for this post, but Blue Team seems far more willing to commit itself towards doing something even if it seems like they don’t actually have the authority to do it. The student loan forgiveness from the executive branch is a good example of this. It has been announced, but it seems like only Congress actually has the authority to do it. But the point is to get it out there and count on political pressure to make it be realized.

If they want to get something done, and some interpretation of the law or constitution allows it, they go with it. If a court finds it unconstitutional they regroup and try again, but their M.O. appears to be act first and let the courts decide later whether or not it was something they were allowed to do.

You can, though you might run into memory limitations running it on a GPU. There can be tuning done to lower the VRAM utilization, but I have been lucky enough to not need this - I do some CG work and ran into VRAM limitations there, so I'm on a 3090 with 24GB.

You can always run it on a CPU and utilize your RAM instead if needed, though the training might extend to 24+ hours that way.

I have multiple relatives who are aging researchers.

Fasting is healthy and normal. Many humans historically regularly "fasted" by today's standards just by going 12+ hours between modest meals.

We know that it slows signs of aging, but it can also depress the immune system (which might be why it slows aging), so it can still cause you to die young.

The effects of fasting on all-cause mortality are generally positive, but it's unclear right now whether that means people need to do uncomfortable levels of fasting or if most of us are just killing ourselves with eating too much and too often.

> "democracies" [...] follow track of dictatorial countries [...] now on the downward trend of civil rights [...] following the pattern described in Animal Farm

This just isn't correct. In fact democratic government around the world are, almost universally, more transparent and more accountable than they ever have been. The kind of abuses details here have been done in the past, the only thing that changes is the tools used to do it. So, sure, the Netherlands may try to roll back regulation. But their senior civil servants quit if they try. The NSA may hoover up the whole of the internet, but Snowden leaks it anyway and the industry moves to pervasive HTTPS.

Things are better, not worse. This kind of fatalism serves no one except conspiracy theorists and extremists.

Interesting what the authors say about how complicated and inconsistent x86_64 semantics are. That specs of semantics written by humans contain errors.

I can only hope that ARM has learned from Intel's mistakes and the situation is better with their CPUs. How can we hope for bug-free software when even ISA semantics aren't clear?
Yeah that’s a strong point. I think I’m revising my mental model of this phenomenon along those lines.

Depends on the definition. By design I fail a few times before I succeed whenever I'm debugging something, go for the low hanging fruit first.

The task as a whole though is usually successful given enough time. I've not been completely stumped yet (web dev/sysadmin is pretty trivial work, kinda bored of it honestly but the bills need paying) and can usually figure out a workaround in the worst case.

It weirdly helps that there's nobody for me to ask lmao. I'm the one others ask when they're stuck, when I get stuck I just gotta look into it more until something gives. "I'll figure it out" comes up a bunch.

I can't claim 100% success as I don't get to control everything I spend my work time on but of the things I have the time/resources it's not too far off.

This is absolute nonsense.
Bitwarden has worked absolutely perfectly for me until now, their clients work just fine and it's the password manager I always suggest to people around me.

I do both, self-host vaultwarden for a non-profit and have Bitwarden premium for personal use. A short while ago our server got nearly nuked and our Vaultwarden was down for several days, everyone in the org still could access all of our personal and shared passwords just fine, the extension and the clients stored all the necessary data offline and let us work uninterrupted until we restored the service ( ironically, it held the server's cloud provider credentials too ).

I suspect that in case of a complete outage or while not connected to the internet the client will work just fine, but on this instance something got messed up on the autentication/authorization side, so your client tried to authenticate to their server to sync up/do whatever it needs, since the server was not down but experiencing problems it received an error and logged you out.

I would argue this is by design, If the server returns an error while logging in there's probably a good reason, and especially in case of an organization account, you shouldn't have access to the passwords anymore.

You seem to have had major problems, but I assume it's likely your fault.
You should not store all the means of accessing an account in a single place, I too store TOTPs on Bitwarden, but that's just for convenience, I have them on my phone Authenticator app too.
But most importantly, as the name suggest, recovery codes ( which is what i assume your "temp verification passwords" are ) should be kept safe and in a separate place altogether, preferably printed even.

What you're describing here looks like nothing more than an outage, a thing that literally everyone and their dog experiences, from the non-profit like us to AWS, Microsoft, Google and Cloudflare.

Surely nothing to scream "Avoid at all costs" about.
Seems like a convenient discovery, given the circumstances at the moment.
Logistically, and legislatively, that would be extremely difficult.

That’s the White House saying you cannot run a piece of software. The enforcement mechanism would have to be so extraordinarily heavy-handed, and probably violate civil rights. It would take an act of Congress to stop mining, and this administration can barely tie its own on shoes.
> Yes, I'm aware of weak references and I'm aware that they're not a universal solution to this problem. You risk having something removed as unused while it's actually still being used if you don't have some strong reference to it somewhere.

In graphs yes, but we're talking about self-referential structure here, and there you don't face this risk: the self-reference should always be a weak reference (the struct should be dropped when and only when the external references are gone, the internal ones don't count).

> As to your assertion that this is only '1%' of code, it really depends on what you're doing. If you're just gluing together modules that's where linear types for memory are an applicable model. But, if you are actually designing some structure yourself, it's not an applicable model.

Either you're implementing a data structure from a research paper (and you're in the 1% case and unsafe is fine) or you are actually using such a data structure and you don't have to perform this gymnastic by yourself. In C, people tend to reimplement data structures in their project because the dependency management story is quite dated, but it's not something anyone else does in other languages: most of the time you just import the standard library's data structure (or someone else's) and call it a day.
