The monarchy has only fared well if it changes with the times, which it has, gradually giving more power to parliament over the centuries. We have gone from a system of divine right to a harmless institution that provides an apolitical centre. In a practical sense, the institution today is unrecognizable from the institution 1,000 years ago. And there is no reason to think it will not continue to change, gradually, as social change requires.[1]

For better or worse, the monarch is the legitimate sovereign. There is a chain going back almost 1,000 years.[2] Are we, now living, the ones who get to break that? If we are, then we should have a good reason to do so.

A future change where the monarchy effectively ceases to exist is entirely plausible. But any change like that should only happen by agreement. And there is no pressing need for it that I can see.

[1] Take, for example, the Crown Estate. Lands that the sovereign controlled but which were effectively given to the state. A huge transfer of economic power, done bloodlessly and within the laws of the nation.
[2] Yes, there was a civil war. But there was also a restoration.

This kind of flexibility is a non-goal of crypto/tls. We have a TLS stack with one of the best security track records because we implement an opinionated subset of the specification, amongst other things. Moreover, fingerprint evasion is a cat-and-mouse game we can't sustain in the six months Go release cycle.

That doesn't mean I don't care! I was just talking with a friend about this the other day, and I suggested it should be possible to make a small, easily maintained patch that focuses on chasing the fingerprint of one well-known browser. He implemented https://github.com/hellais/utls-light in that spirit, which looks like a viable solution to me.

Anyway, I think matching TLS fingerprints to HTTP User-Agent strings is a valid abuse prevention technique. Rejecting any non-browser fingerprint is bad, and websites should get pushback for that, but I am skeptical that's something they can reliably do without breaking any time Chrome flips a field study. TLS is not _that_ rusted shut.
No, but you can foster and protect a culture of open minded people by pushing back against people who are actively being divisive and promoting intolerance of some groups in the name of diversity and equity.
Revenue recognition 101. This is about as basic as it comes. Moving revenues to subsequent quarters was “fixed” during the dotcom era.

I’m surprised the CFO and CAO doesn’t get sacked for this. And PWC should have caught this. Will the engagement partner get sacked too?
>In both cases there is no human to whom one could attribute any artistic merit for the content of the images.

I'm not sure this is fair. How you create your prompt at the start is going to have widely varying results on all sorts of aspects that are choices made by human artists that impact the quality of the final piece. Then there are a variety of methods, including img2img, inpainting and outpainting, etc. In all of these the AI is doing most of the work, inasmuch as putting any pixel in any place, but it's not making all of the decisions.

And to be clear, I'm not some sort of AI maximalist - I have a large enough collection of human made artwork that a lot of it is stored in flat files because it wouldn't fit on my walls. I'm not planning on changing that any time soon, and will continue supporting artists I follow.

There's a massive flood of crap out there. But some people are consistently making things that look quite nice that aren't just "thing x in setting y, 8k, artstation, by wlop" - there is real thought put into composition, etc.

I don't know how much artistic talent this takes - I've spent a couple dozen hours playing with these tools over the past week or two, and I cannot reach the levels these people are - but it's more than none.
Mega fires aren't really an issue in most of the Midwest. There's large forest fires, but the fuel load isn't extremely high and there are not extended dry seasons.

This is an interesting claim, or I'm reading it wrong. Wouldn't "equivalent intoxication" mean the driver in both cases equally shouldn't be behind the wheel?

Somewhat related, but I'm still curious how they test marijuana intoxication level in drivers. Is there an equivalent BAC-type test, especially considering how long weed stays in the system?
Years ago I had an Austrian 5000 Schilling note in absolute mint condition. It was a beautiful note with an image of Mozart on it but it was too expensive for me to keep just to admire (~$500 USD) so I cashed it in for local currency. (Also, it had to be converted as the Schilling was being made obsolete by the Euro.)

However before I did I wanted to keep a permanent record of it so I scanned it in the highest resolution I had available (2400dpi) and processed it in an early version of Photoshop.

There were some herringbone issues which I resolved and I ended up with a truly stunning TIF image of approximately 900MB.

I never attempted to print it out as my printer was pretty mediocre and I was aware that it, like all modern printers, had anti-counterfeiting measures.

I don't know whether I was just lucky with that combination of scanner and Photoshop version. Anyway, as I mentioned the results were spectacular. Here's a low resolution image of said note (click on image for a larger size):

Sure, and that's why I explicitly said "experiment had a positive result". Before you decide a particular chunk of code is a keeper, you should have data that gives you confidence.

Before you have signs of product-market fit, I think people should write throwaway code and then throw it away. Once you have something worth investing in, I think it's time to invest. Having high-quality code in areas where you're confident it's valuable enables rapid experimentation in the areas where you're not sure yet.

It doesn't throw things off for future payments — it just makes it so that on short months the payment is taken slightly earlier/later. This is presumably not a core part of your business, and you're spending a lot of time thinking about it. I would google to see how others have handled this problem and just do what they do. Otherwise you are spending too much time reinventing the wheel for a presumably-ancillary part of your business.

If someone subscribes during a short month, they are always billed on that day of the month.

If someone subscribes during a month with more than 28 days, they are always billed on that day of the month during months with sufficient days. During months without sufficient days, they are billed on the first of the following month. When that happens, they will be billed twice during the long month and zero times during the preceding short month. No one should mind this.

Option 1 will seem identical to most users, but some may notice. Why not give them 31 days though? That way no one can complain.
Hm, a weaker type system? I dont really see much of a point in that, though type inference is quite good

What does your exercise routine look like? If you’re going overboard on cardio you might have some better luck hitting the weights, _adding_ back in some calories in the form of extra protein and doing a bit of body recomp. It’s tough, mentally to increase calories after losing that much weight, and tougher still to see the scale increase after working for such a long time to drop weight.

The nice thing about increasing strength and muscle mass is that it’s going to burn calories for you 24/7, not just while you’re doing the activity.
This comment really stood out to me as being particularly nasty.

Most people here like hearing the sort of stories that your comment serves to actively discourage.
I don’t know much about UK law, but it is at least is constitutional monarchy. So the ruler and rituals of succession exist under the purview of the people and parliament. Surely there is just not enough political will to change it. That’s very different from your implication that it’s some kind of authoritarian hellscape.

Rewording: this “keeps happening” because it’s written into the constitution of the UK. If it didn’t happen, it would be more concerning, because the people wouldn’t have voted on such a big change to how the country works.

We had another study a few days ago about how one way to convince people to change their mind is to convince them that everyone else already has. The media is controlling people more than anyone realizes.

I like that last point too, as copilot I think is going in the right direction with "step 1" of full optimisation. Maybe step 2 would be some AI based optimiser scheme to transform IR into optimal cpu/gpu ISA. Though maybe stability would be a problem
A different way: learn from protobufs, then design a new language from the ground up and define a spec very early.
Yeah, I also didn't see a culture of saying "we're going to replace Gecko." Not because there was any instruction to speak carefully AFAIK, but because that's not the goal. The goal was for Servo to succeed, hopefully both technically and as a product.

Product success could happen through convergence with Gecko (as actually happened, but again, the convergence could have been tilted the other way), or through Servo powering something separate from Gecko (for an example of that, in later years Servo was meant to power Mixed Reality projects, which is a story in itself; but other ideas include Servo as an embedded engine, or powering distinct tabs in Firefox and other obvious ideas).

In some of those options Servo could have been a full browser engine or even a full browser. I think there was always a hope for that. I'm sad it didn't happen, but it's still a big success in several important ways. Anyhow, I just hope the history doesn't get rewritten as "the goal was always exactly what happened in the end."
Most people here enjoy that sort of story. I certainly do. Your comment wasn't tacky and didn't deserve a snide response.

> For better or worse, the monarch is the legitimate sovereign.

Legitimacy is not a currency; it derives directly from consent. If the “we, now living” no longer consent to a monarch, then the monarch has no legitimacy.

This article leaves a bitter aftertaste.

The people the author chose to represent this issue all seem to come from high-powered high-earning careers. These same people tend to extoll the virtues of individual responsibility, of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps. At the same time they say that their success is completely self-made and earned, that anyone who failed what they succeeded at just wasn't trying hard enough. Depression to them is just an excuse, or faked, or slightly worse sadness.

Yet here they are, commanding everyone else to immediately focus on this issue, because it affects them for a change.

The current mental illness problem, due to which countless potentially smart and loving people get ground away by their own minds? Who cares? Poverty, lack of financial security, and the resulting lower cognitive performance due to chronic anxiety? What a bunch of wusses!

All that stuff isn't really important. All that's important is that these people get their brain fog addressed, right now!

These people don't seem to realize that the clear mind and fast wit they've been benefiting from their entire life has been a luxury that very few other people can enjoy. To use the analogy mentioned in the article: just because you once drove a sportscar doesn't mean you are entitled to get a new one before people who had one in the first place.

Chrome displaced it purely from the huge marketing power of Google, being the search engine the world over. By putting a "use chrome" message into Google Search, they got the word out in a way that no other browser vendor could ever hope to do.

I'm not hopeful that it can ever be replicated. That said, I will always continue to use browsers other than Chrome, so at least selfishly I'm excited about projects like this!

This is not comparable, besides the words being the same.
That seems fixable.

Contract devs don't execute the code. They simply broadcast the it to the Ethereum network. Deploying a contract is conceptually no different than publishing source code to GitHub. It's actually the Ethereum node operators that execute the code. (Hence why the contract devs can't stop a running smart contract.)

If you want to make the argument that the persons executing the code are liable, than it should be the Ethereum network nodes, not the developer who deployed the smart contract. As it stands, it's pretty unlikely that the Treasury department has the political capital or the operational reach to shut down Ethereum. And that's why blockchain is different.

> The Economist Magazine, where factual snippets

I have nothing special for or against the mag, but I will point out that economists are famously known for disagreeing on huge things once you get beyond the law of supply and demand. Not every discipline of study has whole alternative schools of thought the way they do. Economists are closer to philosophists than most philosophists.

I really love economics! But I have no illusions at all that they serve up one and only one version of the truth like physicists. :D

FWIW, Google does that (at least on Android). You get a notification if it's expected to rain soon.

Honestly, Dark Sky had been my habitual weather app until Apple killed it, but it doesn't seem as accurate as I expected. I don't know if this means I've been in places where their data is less optimized, or if I'm just noticing it more now that I have to look at other options.

I’m really tired of hearing everyone suggest Google is some boogeyman trying to do something subversive to get your data.

I will point out that of the 170 or so nations recognized widely on Earth right now.. many or most have changed borders substantially, pretty recently.. and almost every one has changed leadership and political control. The concept of a Nation being illegal somehow is related to markets control and military alliances.. I am not convinced that individuals from the three or four major world powers get to declare whole nations with different law, to simply be illegal.

I've seen the NVIDIA driver eat up all the CPU on multiple cores without really doing anything substantial to the framerate.

This was back in the Windows XP days when I was working on OpenGL and DirectX. It would do this while rendering like a couple of triangles. One core I could understand, but not all. I'm pretty sure the driver had some spinlocks in there.

I also managed to find out the NVIDIA driver assumed user buffers passed to OpenGL (VBOs) would be 16-byte aligned, using aligned SIMD operations on them directly, even though there's no mention of alignment in the OpenGL spec.

It just so happened that Microsoft's C++ runtime would do 16-byte aligned allocations, while the language I was using only did 4-byte.

All is fair in love and performance wars I suppose...
I agree with most of these, and vehemently disagree with a couple. I think we move pretty damn fast, we average 5 commits per dev per day.

I very much agree with break features into many small pull requests. We merge constantly even (especially) if the code path won't be hit yet. Just get it into production. Makes the code review faster, the complexity lower, and lets you focus on one thing at a time.

I think no tests makes you slower. We paid a bit of cost to start writing tests, but now we can deploy 10 times a day because we know the mission critical stuff is working. It's more about testing the right stuff. Decide what can break, and leave it untested. What can't break should be covered by tests. We do stuff with money, all that is robustly tested. The UI isn't.

Code freezing / weekly releasing is counter to CI/CD. Just make your deployment take less than 10 minutes, and ship code constantly.
