This is spot on. Code is simply a reflection of a very deep thought process.

Google spends all that money on "taking the everyday problems away" from its engineers so they can spend their time in the deep thought needed to really think about a problem before writing code to reflect their solution.

The fucking bullshit MBA approach of "look busy" is what Google and other tech companies have disrupted through the years.

You're absolutely right in the last statement that this is a hedge by the CEO to prep for uncertainty. I would take that argument a bit further and claim that this is also a hedge to insulate their recruiters and pretty much everyone with connections in the bay area from freely referring candidates from the other sinking ships such as Facebook, Snap and the rest that would dilute culture.

He seems to be giving cover to everyone with the hiring freeze so that they can more readily control the influx of job applications that is happening right now with these other large employers laying of talent very similar to the cohort working at Google.

Depends on the UAVs capability. You can jam RF telemetry and control links, along with GPS/GNSS as well. Without GPS/GNSS, the UAV is forced to rely on dead reckoning (inertial guidance). Unless you've got some very expensive gyros and accelerometers onboard, you're limited to short distances/time frames before you crash.

If you've got some visual guidance on board, you're less susceptible to jamming (in theory).
About a year ago, I purchased an Adobe Stock photo of a banded stack of crisp $100 bills for use in a print ad. Then I discovered I couldn't open it in Photoshop. I was, however, able to open it, "place" it, in Adobe Illustrator and was able to finish the ad—minus a couple of small raster-image edits and masks I had wanted to make in Photoshop.

I went back to Adobe Stock and read the user comments on that particular image. There were a lot of irritated comments, mostly asking why Adobe doesn't warn people that the shot can't be used in Photoshop.
That it can interpret pseudocode has been discovered a while ago. It can even do functions and recursion. But it's not good at arithmetic on numbers, once they get large enough.

What's even more interesting is that you can "teach" it languages, either by explaining what something does, or by providing examples. For example, if you feed it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck#Commands, it can handle simple Brainfuck programs (but gets confused esp. by nested loops).
I don't know if it's happening more now than in the past, but it's really just magical thinking -- people believing something is true because they want it to be true.
"Force Dyad" was a plot point in Star Wars: Episode IX (2019), which I would imagine would be a noteworthy enough source.
And to avoid all the horrible edge-cases that can arise when the parser has to work out whether the next line is a continuation of the same statement or not.

For example in JS:

var x = y.z
[a, b, c].forEach(doIt)

parses to:

var x = y.z[a, b, c].forEach(doIt)

rather than the two statements that were clearly intended.
Sugar is negligibly expensive. It's just so cheap. In a wealthy region such as W. Europe, I can't even see the price differential mattering.

The last place I lived-in had a hood over the electric stove/oven. The exhaust-port included a steel-mesh grease-filter before the fan. Then the exhaust entered a zinc-coated-tin (?) duct about 6 inches in diameter and 10 feet long. It travelled straight above a row of cupboards to a side-wall and to the outdoors ... exiting through a louvered vent.

I suspect such a setup doesn't have to cost much. In return I enjoyed many years of cooking, summer and winter, without mostly without the odors & humidity.

I missed it as soon as I moved here ... although the vent is up-through-the-roof vertical, it's very ineffective ... and I can no longer cook most things I once took for granted.

Maybe off topic but after playing with some of the examples, I can't help but find some of them jarring from a UX standpoint.

Funnily enough, the poor having some more money often makes the rich wealthier in absolute terms just not in relative terms. The poor having money juices the economy a lot more than the rich having yet more money. Similarly with more diversity everyone is better off.
I would like to see the numbers. I want to believe schooling really "changes lives" like the universities selling student loans want you to believe (I myself being a victim of this). However, I have a sneaking suspicion that if we took a cohort of high school students who weren't particularly interested in so-called hard learning and taught them valuable trade work it would have a similar effect. Sure, you can wrap trades in education to make your point, but I think GPs point was that formal beyond high school education is what lifts people out of poverty.
Interesting demo. The GitHub here and the demo (need LinkedIn account?) is in linked discussion by https://www.linkedin.com/in/garycrook

“Last week, Amazon Web Services (AWS) published their IBM #Mainframe Card application as open-source.

In 3 HOURS, using Heirloom®, we deployed it to 3 different cloud platforms - AWS Elastic Beanstalk, Google Cloud App Engine, and Microsoft Cloud Azure App Service. All 3 provide cloud-native infrastructure for resiliency and dynamic scaling. No additional vendor proprietary software needed - literally plug & play.

Hour 1 - pull from the repo, organize the project workspace, and transpile the application code into a single Java application package (.war). ~35K LOC processed in < 3 seconds, zero changes to the application code, zero errors.

Hour 2 - migration of VSAM data into target relational cloud database - an RDS PostgreSQL instance on AWS.

Hour 3 - application configuration and deployment to the 3 cloud platforms (using exactly the same Java package on each).

With provisioned infrastructure and configuration complete, the entire process can be automated using a CI/CD pipeline, migrating the application to the cloud in just a few minutes.

Eh, I've been corrupted by a decade of working with protobufs, but I've ultimately settled on "protos are good enough".

Maybe not perfect, maybe there are use cases and patterns where they totally suck, but they exist and are already being used and they generally get the job done. While a part of me will always want to spend time optimizing and carefully crafting the perfect system from the bits up, there are more interesting things to build on top of your serialization and RPC frameworks so I don't see any real value in spending more time creating a 15th standard.
I think some of the confusion stems from the fact the “medicinal” happened in some places before “recreational” happened. At least that’s how it played out in Massachusetts.

It required a prescription, so doctors were saying to take it, so it gives it more of a vener of safety.

Plus it’s not like it wasn’t readily available for people to try before.

Hey! Love the idea! Do you have any plans for incorporating back-dates dividends for investment research purposes? For instance, id love to see Coca-Colas historical dividends.
Agile's main innovation is organizing projects as a (mostly) always shippable series of iterations (i.e. "what do you want next"). But the actual "how" with cards, points, sprints, boards, workstreams leaves a lot to be desired if parallelism is the goal. Communication costs are really high when every one is micro-siloed, hand-offs, which are serial, are costly and involve a lot of relearning the same context, and there is more integration work which is also serial.

I think it's possible to have good parallelism within Agile but I don't think it's the Agile that makes it happen.

In hindsight do you think it would have been profitable to hold onto it?

A quick look at eBay the listings range from ~500 EUR to ~2000 EUR. But what they actually sell for is what matters.
It IS _natural_ sugar in stuff, not HFCS. You are right about that.

So that is one difference.

But let's look at the other differences between W. Europe (this is the Europe I am thinking of at least).

1.There are ZERO local national restaurant chains in this country. Zero Chipotles, zero In-n-outs. The only national food chains are McDonald's and Burger King.

2. There are zero drive-thru restaurants. Not even starbucks. So food is not as easy to get.

3. There are fewer restaurants in general.

4. When you do go out to a restaurant the portions are smaller. I haven't weighed two things, but my best estimate is about 1/3 less. For instance, where I live, the local burrito "chain" of two locations, the burritos are about one-third smaller while the portion of chips that come with it is 60-70% smaller.

5. The food here costs more when going to a restaurant. There is no way to get a full meal for less than $10. A Mcdonald's combo meal is $15-$19. So food costs twice as much. Mcdonald's portions are not way smaller than the US, but every other restaurant's are. Because a meal is 50-100% more expensive and you get smaller portions, food is actually 3x the cost. This, obviously, has the effect of people eating less.

6. A greater percentage of people live and work in cities in Europe than the States [citation needed; would love to know the actual number]. So they probably burning 100-200 more calories a day because of this.

7. There are also zero billboards for any industry. So way less food advertising to go along with that.

These are the differences I think that make the biggest difference. There is simply less of an emphasis on food too.

But portion size, which is culture, and amount of physical activity are what I personally believe make the biggest difference.

One of the issues with the current stable diffusion img2img implementation is that this is NOT what it does (but should!)

Instead it takes the image then tries to denoise it using the conditioned latents of the prompt, and the "strength" of the prompt determines how many denoising loops it does.
Annotations are very useful, but they're pretty much ugly regardless of the language.

Though I like the sibling comment's Scheme version where it's postfixed. I've also come to appreciate Nim's sorta post-name annotation syntax since I can quickly read the name and type at the ends:

type MyComponent = object
position {.editable, animatable.}: Vector3
alpha {.editRange: [0.0..1.0], animatable.}: float32

I was pondering if languages could provide CSS like annotation. Like

#annotate: MyComponent.position { editable }
Or just submerge the whole car:

> This analysis assumes that a unit of work is fungible.

This is a fair assumption when we're talking about organizing work within homogeneous teams that have (and ultimately are defined by) a single shared work stream. Every individual person on the team may have things they're better at, more historical knowledge on, or a warm cache, but it's generally assumed that any team member should be able to pick up any task.

A good manger/scrum master/whatever will end up organizing work to take those things into account but it's an optimization not something fundamental.
You need to know the amounts that were declared misleadingly in order to make a judgement on the penalty amount.
- Raw-pointer equivalent to lifetime parameters (`GenericStruct<*>`, converts `&'a T` into `*const T` and `&'a mut T` into `*mut T`)

- `impl Trait` for associated types. This lets you workaround async trait functions without boxing the returned futures and also return anonymous closures from traits

- And with that, async trait functions

trait Foo {
async fn hello() -> Bar;
}

impl Foo for Baz {
async fn hello() -> Bar { ... }
}

// desugars to

trait Foo {
type __Hello: Future<Output=Bar>;
fn hello() -> Self::__Hello;
}

impl Foo for Baz {
type __Hello = impl Future<Output=Bar>;
fn hello() -> Self::__Hello { ... }
}

- Limited support for `impl Trait` with different return types, by returning an enum on traits where all methods can be trivially implemented (see https://crates.io/crates/auto_enums)

- Explicitly assert trait variance, and unsafely override trait variance.

- Improved compile-time support. In particular, enough support so that you can write functions that generate other functions at compile-time, e.g. `const fn pull_factory(repo_url: &str) -> impl Fn(&mut Repository)`, `const pull_my_repo = pull_factory("https://github.com/my-org/my-repo.git");`

- Remove restriction on `Self` parameters in trait objects, or at least allow `self: &Rc<Self>` and `self: &Arc<Self>`, as `self: Rc<Self>` and `self: Arc<Self>` are allowed

- Allow generics in trait objects if the generic parameter is only accessed / returned behind references and raw pointers, as then the compiler should be able to implement by generating 2 specialized variants: one for thin pointers and one for fat pointers.

- More declarative macro support, e.g. more types of ASTs as metavars

- Partial borrows: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1215

- Mutability variance: e.g. write `fn index<&a>(&a self, idx: Idx) -> &a T`, instead of needing to write `fn index(&self, idx: Idx) -> &T` and `fn index_mut(&mut self, idx: Idx) -> &mut T`)

- Built-in unit types (e.g. write `#[unit(ms)] pub struct Milliseconds(usize)`, and then you can write `128ms` => `Milliseconds(128)`)

I mean what I now is that I've got a brand new benchmark for video card upgrades: next time I'm shopping "VRAM to get 1024x1024 resolution of Stable Diffusion" is a dominating factor.

All the current work is a shot across the bow that technology, libraries and research are orbiting some pretty serious utilities.

What does remain to be seen is whether we're in the exponential part of the S-curve or at the top for this particular set of models. But I suspect we'll see the space pretty thoroughly explored in the next 12 months - no large tech company will be taken seriously if it doesn't have a competent image generation model in the wild.
If the people writing the laws wish it, then yes, technologies should be expected to do so.

BMI really isn't comparable across races. A better measure of body fat with regards to its predictive power on health outcomes is "central adiposity" i.e belly size. Asians tend to preferentially accumulate fat around the belly and have lower BMIs at similar body fat %s compared to EU and Americans. I know i've seen this tendency in myself and a lot of other Asians. There are some studies about it too [1].

Asians have as much or more heart disease and type 2 diabetes as any other race which is the outcome that actually matters.

It seems to be a broader problem in medicine. A lot of ranges and typical levels on blood tests or other quantitative tests are calibrated to native populations. With more immigration and genetic mixing the levels don't make a lot of sense.

"Smooth transition of power" is a good way to put it in the modern era. In centuries past, citizens would pray on their hands and knees for a system as quick and streamlined as this one.

When there is ambiguity in who holds power, there is conflict, instability, bloodshed, etc. This is why countries used to throw enormous festivals celebrating the birth of a monarch's first-born son — it means the succession plan has become entirely unambiguous, and stability has been ensured for years to come.
