This is half of why I don't take my personal phone with me when travelling. I bring a burner, instead.
for an interpreted language like JS, this project is really nice https://github.com/engine262/engine262. More or less 2 parts: parser and evaluator
Yes. Nothing unique.
The inverse of this is an old, old scam:

1) Send out a bunch of letters predicting moves on (usually) penny stocks; a different set of stocks is used for each letter

2) A few days later, cull the recipients whose predictions didn't work out. Send another batch of predictions, again individually varied, to the remainder

3) Repeat once or twice more and you've got a small list of people who've received three or four correct predictions in a row. Hammer them with solicitations to invest in your "foolproof" scheme

4) Collect (via a pump-and-dump, or just solicit the money directly and run)

Nowadays it's probably happening in Telegram groups or some such. Or you could do this on Reddit et al. using different usernames, and only keep the accounts that were right.
Love the reference. On a more serious note I'm really curious how this will play out. Nvidia seems to be doing it's best to prop up the prices of existing models as it prepares to launch the 4k series. The big question seems to be whether most of these miners will start mining some other token or get out of gpu mining entirely.
it's a 10 year old tesla with a highly degraded batteryt. at that point, I would expect the car to need a brand new battery. My guess is that's roughly how much tesla can afford to deliver him a new battery. So I don't really see the problem.
The header does nothing. As the article says, the author sent the header in every request, made a total of 35M requests, and thus gained a reason to use 35M hot dogs in the article title.
I recently switched from Arch to Fedora Silverblue. I have my terminal open directly into an Archlinux container created by Distrobox. In there I have all my usual bits and bobs installed from the main Arch repos, plus the aur. Even graphical stuff, like Sublime Music, which I export to the host. But you don't need to be running Silverblue. You should give it a shot on PopOS; it really makes you feel at home coming from Arch.
"The west probably could have avoided (or maybe just delayed) this war if they had taken steps X" is some the nuance you could add to your statements.

Simple example of X would be stating Ukraine was never going to be part of NATO.

More complicated example would be if Europe prioritized energy independence from Russia putting in a weaker position. An example that loops in nuclear power debate, one which likely could have been manipulated (see other threads around Reddit bots in addition to twitter bots) by the Russians themselves to achieve that end.

--

Russian being the bad guy doesn't make conflict inevitable. And if it does, then we're probably just buying time until full scale nuclear war within the next century and none of this actually matters.
I've got over 100,000 of those RX470,480,570,580 8gb cards running for 24/7 years. It is a total farce that they go bad over time.

Not only were ours undervolted, but also individually tuned for best performance/watt. A very difficult thing to do at my scale since the failure mode is a full machine crash.

Only thing that really degrades is the paste on the heatsink and that's fairly easy to fix.
He's also the owner of the all-time worst American accent, in the not very good movie Mindhunters. Here's a clip from the middle of the movie showing it. There are spoilers for the movie in the clip, but you should probably never see it, so spoiling things isn't such a terrible thing.

I am surprised that Parler has lasted this long, much less experienced growth.
I'm literally speechless. They cannot keep getting away with this shit (but somehow they always do).
I don't know if I have ADHD or not, and I don't think so because I'm sometimes able to focus for hours if it's really an end-of-the-world type of situation, but just having someone passively working next to me is 100% useless.

My girlfriend is always working next to me, and that doesn't prevent me from getting distracted every few minutes.

The only thing it helps is for stuff like cleaning the house where the problem is not focus but motivation, and we will be doing the same thing together.

It seems clear when you selectively edit the transcript the way you did. But add a little more context:

> Right, same as a police officer who asks if they can "look around" or "ask a few questions". ...But in general you'd be a fool to do so, and you also may say "no"

and it becomes a lot less clear.
A postgres foreign data wrapper for PACS so you can send and receive medical images with SQL. DICOM, the medical imaging standard, is from the 80's and you need a bit of domain knowledge to integrate e.g. AI with hospitals. This makes it a lot easier. And with Supabase on top you have a very cool backend for building medical imaging products in my humble opinion. We started out solving the problem of anonymizing medical images and now we want to make it easier for our customers to exchange data with hospitals, both for deployment and for extracting large amounts of data for research.

We are also getting ISO 27001 and we are going to open source the entire bundle of policies and the "information security management system" itself on GitHub, so I am also working on that.
After two and a half years of this BS, I'd like to posit a counterargument:

IF we treated the flu the way we treated C19 for the first two years, i.e. no treatment until critical and then with remdesivir, "the flu" would be killing a lot more people.

> If you're looking to build a new gaming PC or upgrade your existing graphics card, just wait a little longer and definitely don't buy any graphics card for more than $500. Prices on existing GPUs will continue to drop, and the new stuff is right around the corner.

To be clear, no mass-produced GPU can profitably mine Bitcoin.
A set of high quality photos, from a few different angles, a set of fingerprints, and quite possibly a sample of your writing gait. Also, very likely, some measurement of your height.

Those are pretty standard for most countries.
So, the lottery is better than a savings account, because if you win the upside is much higher? Whether or not stocks options/rsus/whatever are worth more than an increase in salary is very dependent on the timing, the company, and variety of other things. You can just as easily point out losing situations as you can winning; in fact, I'd wager the losing is more common.
Also untrue. My cards have been running for years in shipping containers that are outdoors and go through full 4 seasons (winter snows to summer heats).

Edit: power supplies on the other hand... are a mess. Mostly hand soldered in China... they fail randomly due to the environment they run in. Sometimes, they "die", let rest for a day or two and then fire back up and run just fine.
If the transformer is heavy, make sure to replace it soon, it can fry the C64.
Sometimes the artboards, components, or whatever the structure in use is doesn't match up with dev needs. Sometimes you need things split up, sometimes you need them flattened. It's just not flexible.

And 1x 2x etc isn't compression. I want a quality slider for JPGs, an 8-bit option for PNGs, I want to explicitly set the output resolution, I want to know how large the original source file is, how it's being cropped, etc.
It's odd how as information has become more widespread and accessible than ever before, the cost of obtaining information through conventional means has skyrocketed.

Something is clearly not right.
I got deep into color contrast algorithms. Human vision is a rabbit hole indeed.

You would think that this is a well established field. But then I found claims in online discussions (including at the W3C) that were obviously wrong on a mathematical level. The more I looked, the more the arguments fell apart. So instead of reading online discussions I concentrated on reading the actual formulas as well as research on the topic. I now belive that the reasons people cite for choosing one algorithm over another are often completely bogus.

I tried to bring this up at the W3C, but the response was anything but friendly. Not sure what I did wrong. I still think that I have something valuable to contribute, but I am not sure how.

If you are interested in more details: http://tobib.spline.de/xi/posts/2022-09-10-contrast-algorith...
You read this backwards: the cost of less fog is greater than the benefit of less fog (though I also feel like that comment took the comment it was responding to way too seriously...).
> This is the problem when a non-technical generation makes the rules and regs.

The millennials hold the power these days. If you consider them non-technical, I'm not sure there will ever be a technical generation...

Which may be a fair assertion as I work with a lot of people in the tech industry who wouldn't even consider the issues you raise unless it was handed to them on a silver platter. If actual tech people aren't considering it, those who have other focuses in life certainly won't be.
We don't have enough humans for that test.
Having all 1xx courses on youtube would give a glimpse
That's effectively an implicit call option. You can buy an explicit version on the public market.

The question is "Is the cost of an explicit call option greater than the cost of finding a new job?"

There is some benefit in that with an explicit call option, you have to pay up front, while with job switching, you only incur the cost if the implicit option "expires worthless". But that's balanced by the fact that with the implicit option you're exposed to sector-wide risk (eg, see the current tech-wide turndown), while you're not with the explicit one.
I have a very different position on this. I think we will see the most growth we’ve ever seen in the next decade and it will be powered by AI.

I think most of these investors don’t really understand how close we are to have very useful AI and what it’s impact will be. We are roughly on the verge of another industrial revolution
Trying to teach myself linear algebra and deep learning so I can apply it to some interesting ideas I have about making current chess AI much stronger. I don't want to reveal too much since I don't want some Stockfish dev to steal my idea but I'm interested in tips and resources on linear algebra. I always hated matrices...

Interspersed with that I have a huge amount of stuff to implement for my project still(search methods and the like), so I'm working on that as well. It's a lot of code to write and I'm just one guy so progress is slow.

What I'm doing at work would bore you to death so I'll leave it out.
You miss his point completely. Whatever problems "reddit" has, they're limited to small communities. As much as I think reddit has a huge left bias, there are huge, huge numbers of right leaning communities as well.

I don't read /pol, /publicfreakout or any of these other communities and that means I am completely unaffected by whatever nonsense they have going on.
I've been routinely receiving junk mail for a person that I know for a fact has been dead for about a decade. I used to do this with that mail, but stopped a couple of years ago. Now I just toss it directly in the recycling bin.
Only solution is a spite company.
It seems to be focused more on throughput-oriented workloads on large-bordering-on-exotic multi-node servers (e.g. 4-socket Xeons). It doesn't seem to have been evaluated at all in terms of latency (i.e. how long after a network request or other exogenous event arrives is a thread running on the CPU, and is that wakeup CPU selection optimal).
I agree, if they were knowledgeable enough they would convert the load side of whatever they were trying to power from a female plug end to a male plug and use a traditional extension cord and not risk death.
I should have kept a list. Now I'm older and I can't recall 'where I read that' or worse start reading a book and realize in chapter three 'oh I read this one already.' It's even worse with video.
That's likely not relevant since during a border crossing your identity has already been verified.
We currently use the kafka connect bigquery connector, along with debezium, to "stream" both the "changelog"/"transaction log" and to "mirror" our rdbms instances into bigquery. While this works, it's been a fair amount of effort to iron out issues over time. We also have had to work around bigquery limits including issues exceeding concurrent queries (switched to batch mode, which has it's own issues) and frequency of writes (we've had to throttle to flushing every minute, which is good enough, but did have a use case for faster updates). Also have issues related to partitioning and clustering, and more...

So seeing this to potentially replace the kafka connect bigquery connector looked appealing. However, according to the docs and listed limitations (https://cloud.google.com/datastream/docs/sources-postgresql) it does not handle schema changes well nor postgres array types. Not that any of these tools handle this well, but given the open source bigquery connector, we've been able to work around this with customizations to the code. Hopefully they'll continue to iterate on the product and I'll be keeping an eye out.
Hackers was released September 15, 1995. The newest version of Netscape you could have been using the day it came out was 1.22.

Netscape 2.0 came out three days later (September 18, 1995) and included first support for javascript, java, and plugins.

The Dot-Com craze was just getting started but nobody knew how big it would become. Few worked for Internet startups and nobody had been to a launch party yet. I had registered my first domain name just two months earlier.

What an amazing time (1994-2000) to be alive and just out of school. It was our "Roaring 20's"
Don't run your hospital on them. Probably fine for gaming or a little render farm.

Haha, I missed that you had an intermediate comment -- thanks for all you+Cloudflare did for LuaJIT too :)
Definitely needs Underworld and Orbital on there. That movie had such a beautiful soundtrack.
I suppose it all depends on when you grew up and got into computers. I always thought Hackers feeling/vibe was kind of clowny and not representative of computer enthusiasts and hackers. The hackers I grew up exposed to (mid-80s, early-90s) were not cool kids riding rollerblades with wacky hairstyles saying "duuuuuude" and listening to techno. Wargames and Sneakers were a lot closer to the actual vibe. Normal clothes, quiet, careful and a little paranoid, typing into monochrome terminals, and so on. Maybe the scene changed later, but it just seemed like Hackers was too focused on coolifying and popularizing an activity that wasn't really cool or popular.
This is one nice thing about electric in the US - household voltage is mostly 110v, with special outlets for the occasional exception that requires 220v. And even in those cases, it's not 220v on one wire, it's just two wires of 110v.

I've been shocked by 110v countless times (well, maybe a dozen or so), and it's just an momentary shock (in both senses) and nothing more. Not recommended! Be careful! Circumstances (water) can make it fatal! But still I've been fine.

Australia and lots of other countries use ~240v as normal household voltage. I've never been shocked by 240v, but from your description I'm really glad about that.

Are there any downsides for using 110v instead of 220v?
What do they mean by near real-time?

Is it microsecond, millisecond, seconds, minutes, hours ... ?

What is your opinion of Content Security Policies? Last time I looked it was praised as an XSS killer.
thats interresting I had some thoughts about ferrofluids and magnets as a way to build perpetual motion.
I am so happy to finally have a term for this phenomenon! I find it really hard to explain to friends and co-workers why I prefer to work in pairs, up until now I've been describing it as something along the lines of a motivational feedback loop, but your description of it being a proxy for your own motivation is quite good and I'm going to have to steal that going forward! Thank you!
It genuinely feels like the end game is to wish racists into existence all to perpetuate a political ideology which has supplanted the will to religion.
I think many of us believed that for sure we are going to be the cool ones but we actually turned out more like Office Space people. Not everyone is Crash Override.
> plug it into the computer’s power strip, then unplug the power strip from the wall

For additional opsec, plug your computer directly into wall socket? That is new to me but interesting nonetheless.
Such a misleading title. "30% or more range than our current Gen5" would be a better title. They don't have any cars with 475 mile range (ie 1.3x = ~620).
Yes a webhook could work!
With how efficient battery electric vehicles are, when the batteries reach higher energy densities, we will see insane ranges.

If a Tesla's battery had the same energy density as gasoline, it would have a range of roughly 30,000 miles. Then again, the Tesla battery weighs as much as 200 gallons of gasoline.

This leaves so much room for gains in the BEV market as battery technology improves. One day they will look at current model Teslas the same way we look at Nissan Leafs from the 2010s with a 30-40 mile range.

Edit: 2000s -> 2010s Dear god
Shopify's plan is an oddity in the industry, normally one doesn't directly trade RSUs and base comp. Netflix has allowed for this (probably still does, but I haven't negotiated against a Netflix offer recently), but I don't know of any other significant examples.

That said, legally, even in the specific case of the Shopify plan, you aren't taking cash and spending it on Shopify stock. If you were, your tax situation would be more complicated.
Yeesh, that's horrifying. Written 1965?!?!? Prophetic.

I once had a similar deal when I lived in a house with several guys for a year in college. We divvied up the utilities, and I was in charge of the phone bill. I set up automatic payment, and never had a problem. But 5 years later, the phone company accused me of skipping my June payment, and carefully deducting that amount from the "total owed" amount in every subsequent month. It's insane, and every human I spoke to agreed with me, but no one had the power to do anything about it. I could either travel cross country to go to court, with no evidence other than common sense, or just pay the $30 bill plus another $40 in penalties.
This is fantastic work! One thing I've been trying to accomplish on my own site is embedding others' HTML fragments along with CSS and/or fonts. I reckon there would be sanitization concerns for those technologies as well? I understand that might be outside the scope of your project, but I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.
But exclusivity contracts is not what's in question here, which preclude you from selling elsewhere (as opposed to selling elsewhere but at a lower price). Also exclusivity contracts usually come with minimum volume commitments (since you're locked in). That's quite different than third-party sellers on Amazon.

And it usually has to do with brand perception. Nordstrom doesn't want you selling that same product at Target because it devalues the brand.
I think it actually adds some of the human part back in. "Hey, got a sec?" in person comes with quite a bit more context--body language, tone of voice--and a pretty quick transition into the content.

To me, the rhythm of an informative first message feels more natural than responding to someone's ping and waiting 2 minutes for the follow-up.

Are you me? Similar experience - Commodore 64 was my first computer (albeit a hand-me-down). Folks kept yelling about spending too much time on the computer while I was trying to get stuff to run lol.
I mean this might have to do with something I would call socioeconomic background more than the color of someone's skin.

The french philosopher Pierre Bourdieu discribed multiple forms of "capital" any individual can accumulate in order to get successful:

- economic capital (actual money, houses etc)

- social capital (the contacts you have to people who can help you out)

- symbolic capital (your ability to simulate a certain socioeconomic status in a way so others belive you are also from their class of society — so the way you look, dress, speak, what music you listen to etc)

- cultural capital (the actual knowledge you accumulated by learning, reading, practise etc)

The more any individual has in each of these categories the easier success is going to be for them. Many of these categories have a huge inherited part as well. Even if your parents are poor academics for example they might teach you how to speak a certain upperclass language, have good contacts and cultural capital for example.

Black people in the US have had a (much, much) worse starting point in all of these capital forms and some of those deficits will effectively bar anybody from that socioeconomic background from studying, even if they are a very talented person.

Quotas like these are the recognition that existing cultural biases are instutionalized and you have to counterbalance them to a degree, just to make them fair.

If you ran a marathon and the guy next to you was not only held back for 30 minutes at the start, but also had to carry a bag of bricks and learn a new language while running (and none of that by his own choice), you'd hardly complain if the guy's run was judged in a different way than yours, or would you?

This is essentially what something like this boils down to. People from a poor socioeconomic background cannot lean onto their or their parents contacts (lack of social capital), they cannot lean on their or their parents money (lack of exonomical capital), they cannot lean on their sophisticated way of expression (lack of symbolic capital) — they in fact have to learn that new way of expressing themselves if they want to be taken seriously — and they cannot lean onto their cultural capital as people from rich educated families will naturally have a headstart here as well.

Societies with less steep socioeconomic divides tend to be safer, more productive and happier, so it is only rational.
I'll echo that. Also being married to a vet it's insane how little very qualified and experienced techs are being paid.
At this point it should be clear that no such examples exist.
You prefer Amazon to dictate the floor price of something for the purpose of convenience? If you prefer to use Amazon, fine, but your choice shouldn't get to dictate to everyone else that there's no better deal else where. Amazon isn't getting you a better deal here, it's making sure there's no better deal else where.
B2 is $5 per TB per month, versus S3 Deep Archive ~$1 per TB per month.

So if hot access isn't a concern then S3 can be 1/5th of the cost.
How it is related? Fossil fuels are used primarily to generate and store electricity.

Even if electricity could be transmitted at any distance without loss we would use basically the same amount of fossil fuels.
Definitely alooma. It even uses alooma's semantics for naming variables and staging tables.
