Upwork et al have really made it easy to resource on demand for a myriad of needs, but they don't really fill the gap where knowledge, skill and trust are needed on. a high-priority project. There's probably a lot of opportunity if you can find someone who is working to fill demand for work, even if they're not an agent per se.

Funny enough, I'm finding myself doing this gap too. Last December I ended up consulting as a fraction CMO/VP for mid- to late-stage startups. As the business has grown I've had demand for more work than I can fill, especially related to software, data infrastructure and analytics. At this point I'm starting to bring people into projects to augment what I can offer and frankly can't do it fast enough.

I know there's a lot of people doing similar work as myself, so looking through your network and checking with people who have found their niche as a consultant are probably a great resource.
I think that reading this sentence as "lost" and "mislaid and abandoned" is not likely. I believe most people would not use comma when they're enumerating 2 categories. E.g. "banana and apple are fruits" vs "banana, apple are fruits".

Serial comma isn't really required [in all dialects], and its use is mostly mandated where it resolves some ambiguity.

Interestingly, RMS relation with Epstein is AFAIK zero. He once considered an old friend was involved in a situation where such friend could be doing something illegal without even knowing and the backlash was much stronger.

Of course, RMS has his problems; that comment was the straw that broke the camel's back.

Yeah. Medical procedures, like abortions in the states, are a very real example of how things can dramatically change on a whim to an unbelievable level. Or syncing your cycle data to a smart device and later having a retro-scan to detect cycle anomalies to charge women with probable crimes.

We do that with speed cameras, why not just automate health data mining too? Why did you stop updating your cycle data, is it because you knew you were pregnant and wanted an abortion? Sounds like suspicious activity to me, exactly identical to turning around at a DUI checkpoint.
I'm no expert, by far.

But American diet being high in SFA and Americans being CVD leader, could also be due to results _of_ the diet but not the SFa itself. What I mean is, I think America still has the highest level of obesity. And obesity could cause CVD. So SFA in isolation can be fine, but combined with low physical activity and generally being overweight can cause the risk.

Again, no expert, just sharing my 5 second thoughts.

Unless the TPM performs the cryptographic operations on the chip itself. TPM can do asymmetric crypto using a key in it's secure storage.

It would require Microsoft to use a different authentication scheme based on ephemeral signed tokens instead of OAUth to be beneficial for security. That is very unlikely to happen.

That scheme would also only reduce the access timeframe from whatever the OAuth token's lifetime is, to a timeframe constrained to the amount of time the computer (the key) is online.

It's important to understand why race of all things is so foundational to systemic injustive in the US.

The original sin of the US was the Atlantic slave trade. It so happens that almost of the people swept up into that slave trade were dark skinned. And, because that slave trade was so monumentally huge in terms of how many people it brought to the US, a very large fraction of dark skinned people in the US today and all throughout history either were slaves or are primarily descended from them.

In order to morally justify the enslavement of millions of people, white slave-owners manufactured a justification that people of certain races are physically, mentally, and morally different from whites. They created a (factually false) narrative that skin tone didn't just mean skin tone but also implied all sorts of other things about the person.

That narrative is profoundly embedded in all aspects of US politics, culture, and institutions. It's been there since before the three-fifths compromise which is directly in the US Constitution. It's everywhere.

So it's not just about skin tone. It's about generations of Americans growing up in a culture that says people with a certain skin tone are less human, and then building social institutions predicated on that as fact.

Culture and institutions change very slowly (especially when many participating in them actively benefit from their current state) and it takes a lot of work to root something like this out.
It was an issue with Cocoapods: https://github.com/CocoaPods/CocoaPods/issues/4989#issuecomm...

> If I recall correctly it has to do with the way they cache git.

It was not actually the shallow clone, the shallow clone is fine.

The problem was shallow fetches afterwards, as it made computing the minimum set of changes to fetch much harder for git (during the fetch operation the client and server actually try to negotiate a minimum set of changes, and the server creates an ad-hoc pack for this).

Not only that, but they'd hit a git edge case which ended up causing disproportionate CPU usage and converting the shallow clones to near-full clones but very, very inefficiently.

This issue was compounded by the very git-unfriendly layout of the repository: one of the directories had >16000 subdirectories, something Git's tree-processing code apparently was not much tested for, leading to significant inefficiencies.
I've run a forum and worked on a couple of others. First one was for lactose intolerance when there was very little information available. Others were technical sites. In that case more information became easily available and in others, it's moved to platforms like facebook and twitter.

I do mourn the loss of these forums as there was a lot of good information, and more importantly some first hand experience in some of the posts. A lot of these things now are view or click driven so they lose the personality. While there are still a lot of good forum sites around and do well, I think the rise of spam posts and increasing work of moderating the smaller sights was too high and eventually killed them off.

On a personal note I think this is a great thing.

More recently I have been catching myself mindlessly infinitely scrolling YouTube. And after I reach the bottom, I refresh YouTube only to find mostly the same recommended videos, and the cycle repeats.

With enough ads, hopefully I would finally be able to let go of YouTube.
I also bet that using less performance oriented languages like Php, Ruby, Python in the datacenter instead of Rust and C++ also has a huge Carbon footprint.

Honestly, the only way forward to really fight climate change is to decouple carbon from power generation.

Everything else is just wasting time re-arranging deck chairs on the Titanic.

That means we need to be all in on zero emissions power generation (wind, solar, hydro, nuclear) as well as conversion of combustion engines to electric (see electric cars).

Try resizing your browser window.

By default, my 16:9 screen with tabs and address bar leave a nearly 16:8 (2:1) rectangle such that (with the 45° trajectory) the logo bounces to the bottom middle, then to a corner, then repeats that loop, mostly.
You can resize the window to prevent it from hitting a corner if you'd like. Turn it into opposite-of-pong game.

I think this is a feature for community servers, so make sure you've converted yours to a community.
These complaints are always so interesting because it is like they are discovering intersectionality (privilege/oppression isn't a binary yes/no thing) and treating it like this is a big new observation when the "woke" community has been steeped in this idea for 30 years. If it were the 70s then sure this would be a legitimate criticism of a lot of activism but things are way different now.

It's important for a forum to be both externally searchable and internally. A lot of the old forums had internal search tools that really sucked, and external search engines didn't seem to cover everything.
My personal experience on the road to getting funded:

Started with flashy animated decks and a full "pitch" to investors. That didn't work (for me) at all. What did work was a concise deck in PDF form I'd send after getting the meeting but before the meeting itself. The meeting was a conversation. I'd bring a paper copy, and my laptop if the conversation went a direction that made it make sense. Also, if you're pitching a firm, the deck needs to be in a format it can be shared internally, without you there to narrate it.
> no way to code for a multi-billion dollar company

...because people coding for multi-billion dollar companies usually need to deal with concurrency if not outright parallelism. So people working at such companies don't code like first-year CS students (avoiding the sexist term) under an outdated curriculum. The real way to fail in that kind of environment is to keep giving advice suited only to a now-purely-pedagogical model of computation as a single sequential stream.
Of course, but presumably the top coders at a game shop are involved in whatever inhouse tech they're building.
I had the engine fail (timing belt broke) and that also killed the hydraulics in that car, very different behaviour of the brakes compared to normal and you need a hell of a lot of pressure to stop but it still works. Downshifting was not an option since the engine didn't work anymore.
It's unclear to me if these are helpful markers. I mean, in a vacuum eighth grade stats are nice. But don't we want functioning adults? I was one of the youngest in my class, in hindsight should have skipped a grade, but I will would have probably done better in eighth grade had I waited a year.

It's interesting, I think the takeaway is probably that overall we need to make it easier for people to time shift their grades up or down. Like maybe people should be graduating high school between 16 and 20 more frequently, instead of tightly grouped around 18.
Thank you. At least now I know whom to ask!

Not exactly related, but I paid for YouTube premium for a few months because I can not stand the amount of ads I see.

I recently canceled my YouTube premium subscription and started borrowing ebooks and audiobooks from my library via the Libby, by Overdrive app and it works great! I took that money from YouTube and instead moved to to a https://ground.news/ subscription which helps me stay on top of current events going on.

I've been enjoying that setup better and I am glad I am slowly where I can taking control of my attention.

That's absolutely where much of the performance currently comes from, and I did in fact benchmark exactly that and it provides comparable performance (for now). I also noted in my talk that you can get much of the way there by doing clone with CLONE_VM and doing exec from there.

But also, the tricks to make it faster without using io_uring are much less safe than using io_uring. vfork is dangerous.

io_uring is the standard kernel mechanism for doing multiple operations in one syscall, so it seems like the most logical fit for this.

Jens Axboe (io_uring maintainer) and I have many more plans to make this faster.

Leaving that aside, there are many additional capabilities this unlocks. For instance, we can maintain a pool of processes set up and ready to exec.
The sad reality, if you want to open a doorway for new and young blood, you have to go where they are. Tons of college kids in their CS degree are on Discord today and have no clue what IRC is and maybe only have heard of Matrix in passing. It sucks, I'd much rather use IRC, but you have to meet people where they are. Hacktober is supposed to be about exposing people to FOSS and encouraging them to contribute. Its not about enforcing ideological purity tests built on FOSS.
Before I bookmark your comment, any chance for an explanation? I'm very curious.
Boeing already had experience and credibility with the USAF from the earlier B-47. In some respects, the B-52 is “the B-47 but bigger”. You can see it in the similar fighter canopy cockpit on the XB-52.
That was funny, but then I was disappointed they needed an aside to explain it. Seemed unnecessary IMHO.

In large part because it seems like just about every other OSS project is on Discord these days, and Discord makes it very easy to see all your servers at once and switch between them seamlessly. We're already seeing more activity even with only some users having migrated so far (it's only been a week for us).

I looked into options a while back, and had also considered Matrix which seemed to fit with open-source a lot better, but it had a relative lack of features and momentum compared to Discord. Zulip seems more like Slack, and since we liked Discord's approach and feature set too, Zulip wasn't that appealing.

Bit of a delayed response - but no (well, not necessarily, anyways). Operating in the frequency domain is a useful technique in machine learning. With this method however, the reason that different "timesteps" amount to different frequencies is because you start with:

0: full gaussian noise

1: less gaussian noise, more generated pixels

...

998: barely any noise, mostly generated pixels

999: no noise. generation complete.

It's actually the properties of gaussian noise that allow the network to learn the importance of the frequency domain indirectly. When there is a high frequency of noise, you can expect a low frequency in pixel space. When there is less noise, you can similarly expect the pixel space to now include both low _and_ high frequency details. By the end of denoising, the full range is meant to be learned (ideally, anyway).

Having said that - they may also use a conversion to fourier space - I'm aware that at least nvidia does something like this in StyleGAN3.
Valid comments here but with the very recent developments on satellite connections direct to mobile phones, how long until you don't need a giant satellite? It may be sooner than we think. Certainly there are other enforcement mechanisms but the trend towards the internet becoming a ubiquitous utility is still making a lot of progress and this is the next paradigm shift.
