Actually, I'm not. I understand you disagree, but your view simply isn't backed up by data. You are exactly the kind of person I mentioned who feels a certain way, and believes that means the data backs up their feeling, but it doesn't.

Rather then assert your feelings as truth, please show any meaningful data that says the general public doesn't trust Google to launch products. It should not be hard to find if you're right.

As an aside, I was responsible for Google moderator for the majority of its life. It was never launched except as a "use this if you like it" type thing (we considered it but chose not to make a formal product offering).

The launch blog post (which only appeared on the app engine blog) makes this super clear: "Several of our colleagues and visitors to Google have asked if we could make it available externally for any kind of talk, presentation and/or event. Conveniently, Google App Engine launched in April and made it easy for us to do this! As a result, we're pleased to release this tool, now called Google Moderator, on Google App Engine."

We were asked by some folks to let them use it, and it was easy enough, do we did it. We kept it around for folks for 7 years. Just about everyone using it had moved on.

The turndown notice was a generic one I approved because we got asked to have some random public facing answer in case anyone cared. IE so that Michael Arrington didn't just make stuff up out of thin air to support whatever his narrative of the week was. We were spending our time helping the small number of users, so I didn't care about the accuracy of the notice. It is correct that we didn't productize it due to usage and other reasons. It still remains used internally.

I know that data doesn't fit your narrative either, so I suspect you'll discard it or argue rather than change your view.

This is actually why your view doesn't match the data - you are focused on conforming the data to your view instead of your view to the data. Citing moderator in the same list as actual products shows that.
> The people making fliers have been replaced by AI prompting overnight.

I haven't seen good examples of that yet but I'm curious how push-button you can make this. Flyers, web design and UI design require the copy, layout, information hierarchy, colours, illustrations, branding etc. to be cohesive so it's a different problem space with way more constraints compared to generating a single image.

If getting the final design requires a lot of rounds of prompting and tweaks, busy people are going to outsource this still (in the hope the prompting and feedback needed to the person doing the work will be less).
Wages are moving down in real terms. Many home purchases are made with 40% of gross income presently. Increased (3x) home costs would mean buyers would be paying out an even higher percentage of gross income. Eventually too many buyers are unable to buy housing and the party is over. I think we are already there, so 3x housing prices (and 3x rental prices) in 10 years seems very unlikely.

> How do you separate potential racism from cultural differences?

By conducting studies where you study the effect of the race variable. This has been done many times over in multiple countries and the results have shown that colored people and racial minorities are discriminated against. But despite the vast amount of empirical data, people still refuse to believe that racial discrimination is a factor in the job market.

This is in reference to the types of foods most commonly consumed by the average adult dailt in Japan and Korea. Dealing heavily in fried foods and high sodium content due to the regionality. It is similar to the Southern portion of the North American Diet the most but with less caloric content. Yet the same heart problems afflicting African Americans effect Koreans and Japanese the difference in survival rates is early detection and preventative measure. Which result in significantly higher life expectancies.
It would likely depend lots of factors. A big factor should be how long you sit there, since it's a sauna you don't usually sit there for that long.

The gyms never closed here and they looked at the data. They found that gymgoers didn't catch covid in a higher degree than regular people during the pandemic, you should see if there exists a similar analysis for where you live.
I was with BOFA and Chase Private Client for years before I realized that they were making tons of interest off my money and just keeping it for themselves.

The funny thing is that since I had a lot of money with them they raised my rate as a thank you to wait for it 0.02% instead of 0.01% lol.

Got upset because of this and made this site. It scrapes all the banks every 30 minutes so it is the most real time source of APY data on the internet. Rates are now over 3% at the high end so it makes sense to park your money in these places rather than the big three banks.

> You could simply write crash info to some NVRAM or something, and then do a reboot. Then you can recover it during the next boot.

That works for some systems: those for which "some NVRAM or something" evaluates to a real device usable for that purpose. Not all Linux systems provide such a device.

> But there is no need to let userspace processes continue to run, which is exactly what Linux does.

Userspace processes usually contain state that the user would also like to be persisted before rebooting. If my WiFi driver crashes, there's nothing helpful or safer about immediately bringing down the whole system when it's possible to keep running with everything but networking still functioning.
I think it may have been the first microprocessor with an L1 cache of any kind. I can't find any earlier chips with on-die cache, anyway. Even the instruction prefetch queues of the 8086 and 68000 were still in the future when the IBM 801 went into manufacture.

Another consequence of the RISC philosophy. After discarding all that die area for control logic, there's still some space even in a tight transistor budget to implement a cache. And since it's a clean, new architecture, you can impose restrictions on things like self-modifying code that would otherwise have made splitting the I/D caches more difficult. Cache coherency is for the compiler to worry about.
In the first sentence on the start page, there's an unnecessary apostrophe in the word "recipes". It's a plural form, not a possessive. Not everyone will agree or care, but this kind of thing can have an unfortunate effect when people come to the page for the first time and form an opinion about it.
Absolutely. There are accents, idioms, and even different signs for the same word that may vary between region, generation, and personal history with the language. e.g a southerner can likely guess someone is from the northeast with high confidence and vice versa. People raised Deaf can often tell if another person is hearing, or someone who was raised mainstream without access to sign language until later in life.
There can also be family/hyperlocale idioms or even individual signs that won’t be readily understood outside the group; I think this is true for most languages as forms of inside jokes and the like.
Two words in ASL that I’ve noted have a few distinct signs in different areas are strawberry and mean (“he is a mean person”).
That's not the case in the EU. I've worked for an equipment manufacturer for dental clinics. While the monitors were allowed to be off the shelf, the operator (dental clinic) is required to make sure that they work properly and display the image correctly - obey certain brightness and color resolution/calibration standards. Our display software had to refuse to work on an uncalibrated monitor.
I think the essay does not share my understanding of emotion. Emotions are a complex but transient physiological+psychological state in conversation with and reacting to events and thinking. The essay describes months of mourning as if people don't still grieve for months; the performative aspect of mourning constantly for months has gone out of fashion. People still grieve for months and years after the death of a loved one and the thought that somehow the internet has caused a shortening of grieving is a claim that would require much more than a substack essay for me to believe.

All emotions generally last at most 10 or 15 minutes. An emotional state can refresh due to rumination, current circumstances, etc. Losing my dog causes me to weep over multiple days, but it's not like I'm crying constantly. Instead, I cry when I would normally walk him. I cry when I would normally feed him. I cry when I go to bed by myself, without the sounds of my friend settling in too. On the same day I feel happy when I hit a new high at my gym. I feel hungry when I skip breakfast. I feel annoyed when a car booming music passes me by. It's not like I'm sad all the time even though I am grieving.

There is a conversation to be had about how social media affects the rhythms of the multiple transient emotional states humans go through regularly as part of normal behavior. But I don't think they shorten emotions specifically, because emotions are already pretty short phenomena. I would speculate they instead add in additional stimuli that affect what emotional states humans enter and how often they enter them.

Doomberg has a position that I agree with:

It's better for 6 or 7 plug-in hybrids to be developed using the same amount of batteries materials it would take to make one fully-electric vehicle.

Most people make short-range daily trips each day, and they could probably do 100% on the battery of a hybrid. The gas portion would kick-in when they do an occassional longer trip.

No significant change to infrastructure would be required, and gasoline use would go down dramatically as most people would be using the smaller battery most of the time, and adoption would be way faster than fully-electric.

For the first question, see the second paragraph I added in my previous comment.

Regarding the second question, in the general case you have to guess or think hard, and proceed by trial and error. You notice that the analyzer takes more time than you’re willing to wait, so you stop it and try to change your program in order to fix that problem.

We already have that situation today, because the Rust type system is turing-complete. Meaning, the Rust compiler may in principle need an infinite amount of time to type-check a program. Normally the types used in actual programs don’t trigger that situation (and the compiler also may first run out of memory).

By the way, even if Rust’s type system wasn’t turing-complete, the kind of type inference it uses takes exponential time, which in practice is almost the same as the possibility of non-halting cases, because you can’t afford to wait a hundred or more years for your program to finish compiling.

> But my point is, everyday program are "arbitrary program"

No, most programs we write are from a very limited subset of all possible programs. This is because we already reason in our heads about the validity and suitability of our programs.

I used Wikipedia in order to have some kind of reference, but I was fairly sure of the meaning beforehand.

Searching the internet for "race condition definition" and taking the top few results brings several definitions that all agree in spirit with the Wikipedia one (see below).

techtarget [1]: A race condition is an undesirable situation that occurs when a device or system attempts to perform two or more operations at the same time, but because of the nature of the device or system, the operations must be done in the proper sequence to be done correctly.

techterms [2]: A race condition occurs when a software program depends on the timing of one or more processes to function correctly.

javatpoint [3]: When the output of the system or program depends on the sequence or timing of other uncontrolled events, this condition is called Race Condition.

I bought one of the ~$400 tent saunas on Amazon and it was the best health related purchase in recent years. It only gets to 135 degrees, whereas the one at gym reached nearly 200, but it feels hotter and I can only last about half the time.

I sit in it at least once a day followed by a 10-15 minute cold shower where I drink a 32oz of water and another 32oz of water mixed with popular powdered green vitamin.

For these familiar with Whoop, I consistently have 5-10% better recoveries and sleep performance on the days I use the sauna. I also feel better which is what really matters.
But panics in rust are pretty much exceptions though?

The differences are they are actually meant to be used for exceptional situations ("assert violated => there's a bug in this program" or "out of memory, catastrophic runtime situation") and they are not typed (rather, the panic holds a type erased payload).

Other than that, it performs unwinding without UB, and is catchable[0]. I'm not seeing the technical difference?

If you are in position to do so (i.e. not a public API), you can also turn on captcha when under attack. Regular users will be annoyed (or not even that, if invisible) but everything still works for them and you are mostly safe. When not needed, just turn it off again.

You can also allow many more attempts from the known IP addresses for the user, as most users don't change their IP too much. Still, some do, but they will probably authenticate correctly within one or max. two requests.
These days, wouldn't a camera sensor be considered a simple sensor? Optical mice use actual cameras too, they're just optimized for a very shallow focus, very high temporal resolution rather than spatial resolution, and sensitivity to IR. Do eye trackers need especially high spatial resolution, or RGB color?

Just the other day my wife misread our bread roll recipe and added too much water to the flour. I'm glad, I know bakers math and I'm good at mental arithmetic, so the dough could be rescued easily.

Does this exist? I always assumed that sign language was taught after reading and writing. I wonder how common it is to have someone proficient in sign language but illiterate.
For me the main reason to use bakers' percentage is to design recipes.

Once I have designed the recipe in bakers' percentage I use my handy spreadsheet to convert this to grams for the final recipe.

When you spend some time making bread you get the hang of how things work together. How much is 80, 90 or 100% of water, what kind of correction in % of water I need depending on flour composition, whether you want 2 or maybe 3% salt for this particular bread, how much sourdough starter you want, etc.

I also use large amounts of starter and of very varying composition (wet starters, stiff starters, etc.), so even if I want to repeat the same recipe I may need to adapt it to a different starter.

So this is making the design a very easy process when it would be kinda hard when looking at grams.

>Curiously, antidepressants can trigger suicide in suicidal people because they give them the energy to act on those impulses.

As someone with somewhat first hand experience with this, it's not exactly "gives them the energy".

The anti-depresents I started taking worked exactly as advertised. The "problem" was I wasn't just depressed, I was also just not happy with life. Anti-depresents can get you out of a depression but they won't make you happy.

It was a bit enlightening to understand the difference between the sadness I felt and the depression but it can also make you feel more helpless when the depression lifts and you still don't really want to wake up tomorrow.

As a result of this experience, I think it's irresponsible to prescribe anti-depresents without accompanying therapy.
