You can (and I personally do) disagree with Twitter banning her content. Even though her views are both offensive and threatening to me. But I don't see why this comment is being downvoted, because it's true. She has without a doubt made incredibly outlandish fascist statements. There's videos of her vehemently speaking at rallies how Istria and Dalmatia need to be reclaimed by Italy, and has had made really distasteful statements and positions against the LGBTQ community. There's... I guess right wing people who'll defend her positions as being patriotic or wanting to "preserve traditional Italian family values"

Right. State cops can investigates local cops, etc.

> It's hard to collude around that big a loop.

Yeah, but I don't know that collusion is the min mechanism. I think it's more that cops just feel a lot of solidarity with other cops.

If incentives are strong enough that a cop can make a career by putting away a lot of "dirty cops", that usually is what works. I think we're far from there though.

This is bad advice to give generally.

Just fyi, that formatting is very hard to read.
i'm curious how a regexp can handle arbitrary substitutions. afaik you need to be explicit about what alterations can occur for each character, but if that list is arbitray, then the regexp will simply match everything.

e.g.

/^cat$/ will match cat

/^ca[tr]$/ will match cat and car

/^ca\w$/ will match any 3 letter word with 'ca' prefix. (any substitution for third letter)

/^\w\w\w$/ will allow alterations for any letter, making it useless.

you can make a more complex regex that allows a single substitution in any char position

/^(?:ca\w|c\wt|\wat)$/

but this gets out of hand very quickly, especially with possible insertions, deletions, transpositions, etc.

Their main value prop is any sophisticated work requiring extensive pre-planning in group settings or in a physical environment like surgeries, architecture, and work training.

There’s tons of complex jobs like this in the military, healthcare, high end niche manufacturing, etc.

There’s also the sales aspect where you help customers visualize products like a car demo to executives.

The barrier seems to be customization and staffing the implementation. You could generalize some things like certain specialized surgeries and create platforms across other fields. But most might require a mix of 3d, coders, and designers/art directors.

So we could see the equivalent of video production studios or web design shops for AR. Then these same shops will find patterns and develop products to generalize them.

I think the cost argument is disingenuous - solar camp likes to tout how it took a decade of subsides before economies of scale kicked in - no reason to believe nuclear wouldn't come down with same kind of subsides - on a longer scale due to longer iteration cycle.
I recently did an interview that went something like this too. The questions weren’t state machines. But like your experience, they boiled down to “I have some interesting experiences that feel kind of unique to me, is it possible you’ve had them too?” It was a mid level relatively seasoned person, but they admitted interviewing was kinda new. So it really came back to that “do you think we could experience a sort of cohort chemistry here” vetted by a pretty arbitrary set of “let’s find some geeky things to get connect about.” And like you, I’m not disappointed they chose to keep looking.

Is her gender supposed to make her bigoted beliefs somehow less objectionable and terrifying?
Yeah I don't agree. Making wealth is not a zero sum game. If that were true, the global supply of money would be finite and long term all money would be deflationary as the population has increased. And if truly an exchange of goods/money left no one better off, then markets would not exist. Why would anyone give their labor or money to someone else if they end up worse off for it?

But if I buy some rice from the Indian market, then we are both better off because we've made an exchange for items that have greater value for us. I don't see why it's any different for investments when no one is compelled to buy or sell.
Chernobyl used a neutron moderator with a positive temperature coefficient of reactivity (liquid sodium), while U.S. Navy reactors use water, which has a negative coefficient of reactivity. The more energy you put into the water surrounding the reactor, the less reactive it allows the reactor to be. This has a stabilizing effect on the system. U.S. Navy reactors are inherently stable and inherently safe. To answer your question directly, yes entropy will trend toward making the reactor produce less heat with no intervention.

Everyone in this sub-thread is shifting the goal posts. There is no requirement that solar inverters need to be aware of household power consumption. You can certainly set that up if you want, but an installation in its most basic form would not include that feature. You simply connect the inverter to the house panel and what you don't use flows back through your utility meter and onto the grid.

And again, the solar data by itself is going to be nearly useless as it is entirely a function of the irradiance on the panels, and does nothing to reveal customer behavior.

Interesting. My experience was the opposite. After the initial sleep deprivation, once our child was sleep trained, I achieved a new level of productivity in my life.

Before children, I wasn't as focused. Now, I'm more efficient. The knowledge I have a break coming where I know I'll be giving my family my undivided attention helps motivate me through the day.
> Reader is the posterboy for this; a service probably used happily by millions (or tens of millions) that had the plug pulled.

Examining away the current FB disaster with an iOS update completely missed the point.

Facebook has one customer: advertisers and billions of products.

The only way for them to fuck this up is to screw their advertisers (mostly small businesses) to the extent that THE ADVERTISERS LEAVE. Yes users leaving is bad, but if they continued to evolve their ad product it would easily be possible to compensate for that... except they aren't about evolving things so much as they are about breaking things... At their customers expense (advertisers).

Having spent many many years with a Facebook ad budget measured in percentages of a multimillion dollar gross, which is now zero due to being sold bot impressions constantly, and having my ability to remove those bot impressions... removed.. My guess is that at this point I am not alone.

Going from 8% gross to zero is going to hurt if it happens across every small business in the country.

If you own FB stock... Consider yourself warned. It's WAY worse than Musk's estimate of 20% bots on Twitter (because the bots are written to... Well... Engage with ads and thereby avoid being banned by generating revenue for FB).

The Metaverse will not solve this problem. Ever.

It's fascinating how much AI struggles to mimic signs and text. With as much as we enter text into computers, my instinct was to think this should be really easy for computers, but they don't actually receive and process the abstraction of writing like we do, do they?

We use shapes to indicate sounds and sequences to make words, but the computer is ultimately just getting 1 or 0, on or off. It doesn't seem that it does have the associations we use intuitively because of how humans interact with language.

> LINQ is the only “ORM” that is truly worth using

I've been thinking a lot about ORMs and they almost usually fall flat at some level since they are not nearly as expressive as a first order language is. I haven't had experience with LINQ but I know the Django ORM is this way.

I'm thinking the best approach if I had time/money would be to develop a better query language that is close enough to SQL for people to learn, but then also translates back down to SQL. LINQ looks really close to this, but I'd really want it to be cross language.

One of the aspects of QUEL that I really liked was that if you couldn't describe what you wanted, you could program it out if you needed to. Say you had some complex ranking algorithm that was hard to write in SQL directly.

Glad you asked. The presence of racists on Gab makes me unwilling to be "guilty by association" (in the eyes of others) for being on the same site as them. Simple as that. This is a reality in the world, and until you find a way to stop people from instinctively applying the "guilty by association" principle, I'm unwilling to be on the same site as Nazis. Sorry.
