Well presumably moderators need to speak the various local languages. So I don't see why you can't extend that to don't ban people in territory X for mentioning blue eyes.

I understand they don't put enough effort into moderating, because obviously mentioning blue eyes isn't anything. But they should be held accountable for that, not getting away with it, as is the situation we have now.
Free Deep Learning Course by Andrej Karpathy
Andrej Karpathy has recenently released the three first videos of a free Deep Learning course, Neural Networks: Zero to Hero.

He starts with the basics, implementing a neural network and backpropagation from scratch and continues with the basics of language models and before you know it you will more or less have implemented GPT-3, somewhat simplified.

I've been following the course over the last few days and I'm finding it really great. To follow along you should watch the videos on one screen and have another screen or your laptop setup with jupyter to type in the code line by line. I find it very helpful to take lots of pauses, explore the code that's been written a bit and try to guess what's coming next.

All the videos are at this YouTube playlist

Amen to that. The reality though seems to be that being a really good hacker/reverser, is still a relatively lonely endeavor. Don't get me wrong, high level stuff is absolutely a team endeavor, but it requires hours and hours and hours of extraordinary concentration and effort done mostly by yourself. It's tough (but not impossible) to do that and conventional things like raise a family and maintain a relationship with your spouse or friends.
Considering that at that point I was with IBM for 5 years before the grant, that wasn't a bet at all
Pulling out the hard drive might be effective if it's 2002 or something. If you have a modern laptop like a MBP, then the drive isn't really removable. If you were to remove it, the use of encryption linked to the T2 chip makes the thing useless.
Post of the day award!
The government authority doesn't go away just because cryptocurrency exists. Unless cryptocurrency somehow replaces fiat entirely, which seems unlikely. And even if that happened, governments could do the same by way of taxes.
PoS pays the people who run the infrastructure. Someone has to run it, and it's trivial for anyone to participate. If you have 5 dollars you can stake it in the PoS network and earn rewards. The barrier for entry in the legacy financial system is way way higher. Have you ever applied for a banking license?
I live in the UK and this article describes a type of bank branch that seems baffling to me.

I don't think I've ever seen a bank branch that had a car park, let alone a drive-through window.
Yeah sorry, I meant something more like "if you look at the goal of the original use case of Facebook" not "if you as a user simply use some subset of the website". The greed to maintain and grow the valuation of a publicly-traded company--and thereby to optimize the entire thing for explicitly only maximal revenue (and thereby maximal engagement)--has so universally destroyed the dream of social networking that we simply don't actually have a large social network anymore.
This is surprising to me for two reasons. The first is that we knew the merge was coming. Second is that it wasn’t obvious to me that Ethereum was a majority of mining.
Nobody can predict the bottom, or how low things will go.

But I disagree that valuations are very low. Frankly, many tech companies (Uber, Twitter, etc) are still unprofitable money-losing machines with high valuations because of their potential growth and expectations of future profitability. There's an argument these companies should be worth much, much less.

For the past ~10 years in particular, investors haven't cared about profitability; a market downturn may change that.

Also, as the recession or depression continues, advertising is going to get scaled back and may destroy ad-tech companies like Alphabet/Google and Facebook.

Your prediction is as good as mine, of course. But I'm a bear, expecting a river of blood to flow through the streets of Silicon Valley.

Recursively, it could be.
Regular microscopes are so cheap already.

I paid $80 for my kids and $10 for a cell phone adapter. It easily sees 600x, magnification.
A fair comparison would be 80 gallons of gas and 120 gallons of liquid oxygen. Still, we are talking about 8,000 miles.
The C64 Programmer's Reference Guide[1] was the game changer for me. 6510 instruction set, the computer's full memory map, register maps for all the chips, detailed information about I/O, the KERNAL, and so on. I don't recall it coming in the box, I had to save up my $$$ and actually buy the book.

Intentionally stifling debate: Yes, because it's easier to paint your opponent as a monster/dishonest/Nazi/murderer than it is to actually answer their position in a way that other people can follow and understand. It's easier to shut down debate than it is to win debate.
> employee ownership, not the other way around. Employee ownership creates shared incentives. Shared incentives create alignment. Alignment helps eliminate an antagonistic relationship between employees and management.

I don’t think this scales to something big. Eg Amazon gives stock. Amazon even gave stock to warehouse workers. I don’t think many people, from warehouse workers to senior AWS SDEs feel a true sense of shared alignment, and I bet many share a sense of antagony with management.

I work at a different megacorp. I don’t feel meaningfully like an owner. My 500k in RSUs is meaningless compared to the $2T market cap. Nancy Pelosi probably owners more shares than me.
Leading with "wonderful" confused me a little. I was expecting "X is a wonderful project. Here is a new project built on X." When introducing your own project, your subjective praise for it doesn't add as much. I would drop the "wonderful".
So that means ammunition must be purchased by bank wire or something? Or of course cash if in person. They already do this for pornography? Yeah, that sounds super scary. Maybe cryptocurrencies are a good thing... I don't want to have to buy a ladder with BTC because I might fall off of it and sue visa.
It depends on how you value your time and effort. Not every idea should be valued by its market fit. I don't think people should write code they are uninterested in writing. That's my litmus test for myself. Usually when I'm really, really interested the thing I'm aiming at doing initially isn't even about what I'm really trying to solve. It's picking away at the cruft over something and then I can see what's on the other side. Don't write things from scratch if you absolutely hate it and you are only doing it because you think the market will buy it and you wanna be a big biz, unless you feel like it. I don't know, YMMV. Programming is stupid and I plan to be a pig farmer as soon as possible.
The role of Amazon corresponds neither to Safeway nor Nabisco in your example.

the hackers soundtrack is fantastic and includes some of the best electronic music from the era. the version of halcyon and on is in my opinion almost as good as the original 11 minute 12" uk promo edit [0], which may not have fit on this soundtrack.

in 2020 varese sarabande released an expanded 2xCD of the hackers soundtrack [1]. the second disk includes full length versions of the instrumental electronic music composed for the film by simon boswell [2] but not included on the 1 disk soundtrack and is absolutley essential listening while rollerblading to the payphones at penn station.

agreed, you can learn a lot by building something from scratch. also, some of the successful software tools we use today came from personal projects so it can be a win win
you have to have 32 ETH, which is around $50K USD, but agreed other than that.
"reference rootfs" makes it obvious what it is to Linux-savy people, so you don't need to know what Neon is to assume that it's some kind of a distro.

My point is not that limits are an inherent part of calculus. My point is that calculus as currently taught mixes infinitesimal-like notation that predates limits with limit-based calculus.

We're here for the technology, not for the murder-porn.

We can't do much about the fact that intraglobal resource competitions have made it necessary to play the game. There is no opting out.

As a consequence, the money and science that is poured into space and military is immense. The products of those energies are technologically interesting, and we'd all be poorer without them.

> The barrier for entry in the legacy financial system is way way higher. Have you ever applied for a banking license?

One doesn't have to have a banking license to use the local fiat currency of one's nation (basically, one is born into it). And one must do almost nothing to get a check from the government if they decide to stimulate the economy by handing out money to those who showed they had very little on their last tax return.
You need 32 ETH to run your own staking node, but there are many options for liquid staking, which can be done with any denomination of ETH.
> FedEx Ground service, which is the primary way the company handles deliveries of online purchases made by US consumers, missed its sales target by $300 million.

After last year, there is no way I would ship anything Fedex Ground -- at least not until they've had a few years to correct some serious issues. Pretty much every Fedex Ground parcel I had during peak had some sort of major drama -- lost, damaged, severely delayed, misdelivered, you name it. Everyone had problems during peak in '21, but Fedex had an absolute meltdown.
Yeah but it's only similar from a very far away. Like just simple resistor, in electronics flow increases linearly with voltage, in hydraulics it doesn't.

Or how in some hydraulics system it's not really the flow that's the motivator for action, like in simple hydraulic brakes it's not the flow of the fluid in a circle that powers anything, it's just that the push on fluid on one side pushes the brake pad on the other. So it's not really a flow but wave of pressure (which is kinda how current actually flows in the conductor anyway...)
> https://caniuse.com/webtransport

Yeah, it seems there's an older entry in there that's confusing. Not sure.

> There's no usecase mentioned that is not possible today

WebTransport does not really do anything that was previously impossible from an API standpoint, it improves on existing methods.

> Head Of Line blocking can be easily solved by opening multiple WebSocket connections. WebTransport just has that solved instead within the protocol.

Yes, and solving it within the protocol is simpler and more efficient.

> It needs a bunch of examples

Agreed, that would be nice.
Having txt files is just more portable for me in terms of any future software changes. It’s a backup for lifetime essentially as I’m not tied to Apple Notes nor Obsidian.

I save more by default too, I have a template that imports when I add new book to my collection and I just fill it with info/tags and my notes/quotes and other interesting stuff related to the book.

My favourite thing about Obsidian is that you can interlink all the notes together. Its super useful if you’re referring to other books in your notes or if you have literature notes on different books.
GPUs haven't been profitable for Bitcoin mining in years.

Anyone mining on a GPU was likely mining Ethereum.
I’ll reach out! Also looking at your GH, you might be interested in this blog post I wrote https://blog.journalize.io/posts/an-elegant-db-schema-for-do...
I think the pipelines are pretty inelastic when you consider that most companies are competing to hire "diverse" candidates from the pipeline and the limits of the sort of training you propose (training might work for candidates who are already pretty well educated and highly interested and motivated to serve in an entry-level position, but you're not likely to have broad success training high school graduates for senior level engineering positions). Consider how much time, money, and energy FAANG companies have spent for so little difference in their demographics.

Moreover, the point of my comment was how the EEOC's notion of discrimination is pretty much "whatever we think is discrimination", so companies have to compete to appear not to discriminate, which manifests as increasingly giving preferential treatment to minorities without actually running afoul of the law as interpreted by the courts. So even if tech companies adopt your suggestions this year, next year they'll be the standard and companies will have to find something else to stay compliant.
It was a temporary solution until I had time to build things out the right way, which I am now in the process of doing.
One would think so but he is cash and says he is unsure. He thinks that inflation may not be curbed even with low double digit rates!
Absolutely - couple examples that I've used in the last day or so: Github notifications (PR requests), Jira ticket updates (less useful), Figma notifications. Basically, Slack is aggregating the tool notifications into one place so I don't have to check email or each individual website.

Almost every treaty in history was signed with an implicit or explicit threat of violence (some economic, many physical).

Every piece of land that every country owns was taken at the point of the sword at one point or another.

And to answer your question no I don't think I have any right to the wealth of the great great great great grandchild of the thief. Courts would also share my view.
Thanks swyx. I think people underestimate the benefits and need to express ourselves in more trusted spaces.
I'm thinking more along the lines of the giant stimulus the United States cut to almost everyone during the COVID-19 pandemic. Everyone who paid taxes just got a check in the mail.
I always thought if it was a DTC CPG your own site was allowed to offer it any price point. I only saw the restriction kick in on other marketplaces.
But Amazon isn't doing this so that they can make the other retailer's customers pay more. They're doing it to make sure their own customers pay the lowest price that prevails in the marketplace. It's just that this is the only mechanism they have for accomplishing that. Amazon can't control what a seller does elsewhere, but if a product is on sale elsewhere, they can basically tell the seller that they refuse to list it on Amazon unless the seller reduces the price to match the other retailer.

So far most of the discussion is about pricing on Amazon vs. other retailers, but Amazon also does this between sellers of the same product on Amazon. If there are multiple sellers of the same product, Amazon will funnel their customers to the seller offer with the lowest price. The jargon term for this is "getting the buy box".
It has nothing to do with anxiety for me, personally, and everything to do with simple courtesy. When my colleagues message me things like this, this is the conversation we have:

Colleague: "Hey, do you have a minute to get on a call?"

Me: "Maybe. What is it about?"

Colleague: "I was looking at X and had a question."

Me: "I can meet with ..."

Why not cut the chase here and start with "I was looking at X and had a question, do you have a minute?"

I almost never do have a minute without notice but I'm happy to find a few minutes to give people. I don't like having to play this 21-questions game with people to find out what they need, though. It really irks me.
The way Christmas Lights are wired in the US is very different to the UK.

They usually come pre-wired with a standard 3-pin plug in the end, or a transformer block with a propreitary connector (probably outputting DC), so you don't have to worry about any of this extension stuff.
The GPU would need to be stolen, too. You'd never reach ROI on a GPU.
That was fast. I love it!
I would assume the problem they have, and that we should all have, is the source of the money, which is leaving the printer running through the night.
So the natural evolution from The Beast of Kandahar? Not exactly guesswork that bigger faster better comes with more money after operational success.

I’m still much more enthralled and amused by the X-37 program and curious how many we might end up with and what they might “accidentally” pluck from orbit and bring back.
maybe closer to fois gras?
Get with it grandad. we scoot to the Uber while using our iPhone these days.
This sounded interesting and I want to follow up on it in a while to see what progress you've made. However, I know I will forget in the future to actually follow up so I wanted to sign up for email updates or even a newsletter if you had one, but I couldn't find one from your landing page.
Our security just send around an email that they're disabling Google Chrome's password manager.

While I understand not wanting those passwords in Google's hands, the reality is that they do have the $$$ for security.

But instead of being able to leverage that functionality, and the Generate Password functionality we now have to resort back to name_of_application_my_name or something like that.

Do not ban things just because it has an issue. Provide a better alternative.
If you are looking for something more right libertarian or conservative-supported, you probably want FIRE.

If you are looking for something more consistently progressive or liberal-supported, you might want to give the EFF a try.

If you specifically care about free speech above all, you're probably right libertarian. It's fine. There's no such thing as centrism in real life politics and an individual's political alignments can vary drastically in different issues rather than line up perfectly with any specific political movement. Especially if you consider yourself apolitical or haven't really reflected on the entirety of your political beliefs and how they interact with each other (most people haven't).
We have been using RDS -> DMS -> Kinesis -> BigQuery for 3 years now. Very little maintenance and has worked without issues. I doubt this service will be cost competitive over a setup like ours. Perhaps between Cloud SQL -> BigQuery will make sense?
I'm not convinced on this - with a large enough student base (e.g. most state schools), I think it's possible to find peers that would have excelled even at top 5 universities. Similarly, at top tier colleges, you can find people who don't really perform to the expected level and coast along.

You stand out by being a top performer, and will attract other top performers as long as you search them out. Also, in those scenarios, professors will give you more attention, because you are a better student and more enthusiastic than most of your peers.

Perhaps if you are a true prodigy, you might need a top-tier program to reach your full potential... at that point your peers are the professors and high-performing graduate students, but for most students, I think there are pros and cons for being in a top 5 vs a top 50 program.
Seems like an interesting idea to spur adoption of the currency.
This looks pretty clunky. Is this what Neo4j uses in their viewer? It feels like it's related.
"And why you shouldn't" doesn't deserve equal billing in the headline. The article structure is

* first two sentences: You shouldn't build from scratch

* next four sentences: How not building from scratch failed for us

* entire rest of article: How we built from scratch and made an amazing product you should try.

I guess the implication is "you shouldn't build an engine because we just built the engine to end all engines"?
Ah, I missed it. Thanks!
Interesting - surely then one would wire the faceplate in a way that it would disable the circuit should it be removed.

I think the main distinction is who’s doing the attacking. If it’s a state-level attack, then it’s an act of war. If it’s just a random group of dudes, it’s terrorism. It doesn’t become not terrorism just because the target is military in nature.
I'd say ChatOps is a very legitimate use case. But I see your underlying point of bots frontloaded with a lot of logic.
Since you work in this space, would you happen to know if there’s something like this on the other side of the marketplace for the affiliate content publishers? I started building out a site but the closest thing I can find to a platform entails hacking a Wordpress e-comm CMS to manage outbound links as if they were purchasable products.
if there is data suggesting it, it would be classified. the Government isn't in an equal information relationship with the population, nor can it be, to effectively use intel domestically and abroad.

just a counter-argument. I am not in favor of this obvious overreach. But I don't need data to tell me that.
The funny thing about these people is that they did really well for a few decades. And then it dried up. Computers, the internet, software - it changed the world so much in the last 20 years that many things which looked like "deep value" just went belly up.

Eddie Lampert is a great example of a (brilliant) graham and doddsville guy who basically got squashed by not understanding the world had changed.

Over the past 20 years the tech "intellectual village" has been the smart money. They'll probably be for another 20 years. And then someone will point to it with a similar explanation that Buffett had. And then they'll get crushed by whatever multi-decade driving force comes next.
haha well, while running a pig farm is also a difficult business, there are some interesting challenges you can tackle :D also you could write software to manage some aspects of your pig farm
LuaJIT is a cool thing. Helped us a lot. But not everything remains the right thing forever.
Why even bother with plausible activity? Just don't have your real phone with you at all. You can't produce what's not in your possession.
