Probably Russia has made the same calculation about Germany. The biggest economy in Europe entirely dependent on Russian energy. If their "special operation" actually lasted a couple of weeks as they promised (it's hard to believe Germany didn't know about this way in advance), it is unlikely Europe, under German leadership, would have done anything apart from token sanctions.
The contributing factor was of course the US and NATO projecting weakness after debacle in Afghanistan.
Putin high on his own delusions, surrounded by yes-men, thought that was the once in a lifetime opportunity to pounce.
If European economies weren't so dependent on Russian energy supplies, this war could probably have ended much quicker and thousands wouldn't have died needlessly.
There are more bank tellers today in USA than at any other point, despite the growing number of ATM machines.

This doesn't always happen mind you. But it shows that your (and my) economic instincts are piss poor. We can't just assume what the future holds.

Another few examples:

3D animation has killed a lot of tweening artists (the people who smoothed out animations for Disney Films like 101 Dalmations or Sleeping Beauty). But 3d animation created the need of modelers, texture artists, riggers, and more.

Automatic Drum machines didn't kill drummers either, but allowed for more music to be made in general.

The only thing that automation "killed" recently was Lawyers, as online webpages that auto-generated common forms removed a ton of jobs that Lawyers used to do. IIRC, Lawyers are in somewhat of a decline because of this.

So it just goes to show that no one really can predict these things.

To be fair to the post you're replying to China's demographic issues are more pronounced and likely to occur much sooner than most other large economies. The biggest issue being that they have never normalized immigration when they needed to like many western economies started to do in the 70s.

You’re better off creating Lucene Segments in R2 and letting Lucene remotely access them (if Lucene could run on Worker as WASM). Or something very like Lucene but compiled to WASM.

You’d also need to manage the Lucene Segments or Solar/ElasticSearch Shard Metadata in Workers KV. You’d need a pool of Workers that are Coordination Nodes, another pool as “Data Nodes / Shards” and a non-Workers pool creating and uploading Lucene segments to R2.

It shouldn’t be so hard to do actually. Cloudflare would need more granular knobs for customers to fine tune the R2 replication to be collocated with the Worker execution locations so it’s really fast).

>I never suggested denying them a trial.

This is the first time I've seen you suggest it, every other post was essentially, "Kill them". Even the post I'm replying to suggests that your mind is made up and you want them dead or - at the very least - miserable as all hell, whatever the reality of the details of the case may be.
>Very light response but it's something.

The FCC is going to block all access to other telecoms from these companies unless they implement STIR/SHAKEN, essentially putting them out of business unless they comply with the FCC's order.

Granted, it's not a firing squad for the C-suite or a cruise missile on their offices, but it's essentially a corporate death penalty for the non-compliant telecoms. I wouldn't call that a "light" response.

Or am I missing something?
I use it to trigger CI/CD. And for example, when upgrading Heroku's dyno stack, when is applied on next deployment.

heroku stack:set heroku-22

Would you be willing to provide a reference for the original? My Google-fu is failing me.
Spammers have currently defeated SHAKEN/STIR. A signed call is more likely to be a robocall than not a robocall. This is thanks to shady phone companies that will sign calls for anyone or intentionally cater to scammers. https://transnexus.com/blog/2022/shaken-statistics-september...

Both projects are from around 2014.
I moved from New Mexico (impossible to live in without a car), to Tempe Arizona (extremely difficult to live in without a car), to the greater Boston area (trivial to live in without a car).

I love the idea of car-free neighborhoods. I didn't used to, but Boston and a recent trip to Greece completely changed my mind.

With that said, this seems like a horrible implementation of a good idea.

1. Arizona? AND the greater Phoenix area of Arizona? HARD pass. Give me AC 24/7 or give me death. I'm sure this will be lovely for the several weeks in winter that AZ is tolerable.

2. Go on Google Street View and start at Boston Commons and "walk" up to Faneuil Hall. That's what a cozy walkable city looks like. This just looks like something between the ASU campus and the Mesa Riverview outdoor mall.

3. A walkable city, in my view, is not "no cars anywhere!!!" It's where you can get from arbitrary point A to arbitrary point B just on foot/bike, in safety, with generous sidewalks and pedestrian lanes, and thriving businesses & gardens & foliage along the way.

That was a fact during the industrial revolution and it’s quite possible it will happen now with the digital revolution.

The average height of Englishmen actually went down during the industrial rev. presumably due to malnutrition. New histories of the period think of it as potentially as one of the few times we know where there was an enormous economic boom alongside a general collapse of quality of life.

I hear this a lot, that “automation creates jobs” chestnut.

Whenever people try to support this argument, they either fall into the “not thinking quantitatively” fallacy by pointing out that “sure, 25 writers got laid off, but the company used to have no programmers, and now they have 2!” Or they fall into the “not explaining the mechanism” fallacy by giving examples from the past where “stablehands retrained as mechanics” without examining why that happened, and what aspects make 20th century mechanization and 21st century automation completely different in kind.

> No. The purpose of FSF is not to be demagogues and bend at every whim of the mob.

By him discussing it publicly he did exactly that. Everybody likes to think their opinion stems from pure reason and logic while everybody else is just an angry mob driven by pure hysteria, but he was just as full of shit as any other random person talking about it. However, he was a public figure speaking about it publicly. If he had just shut his mouth, he would have been doing what you insisted he actually did. Giving a shit doesn't mean you have to be an activist. Sometimes you just need to recognize that you don't know any better than anyone else, and especially if you're a public figure, keep your mouth shut.

> Public opinion is driven by gossip and yellow press

Public opinion being based on yellow journalism and gossip means it's bullshit, but it absolutely doesn't mean it's inconsequential.

> How exactly does RMS voicing his thoughts and opinions make anything worse?

> You mention the phrase "stepping on people". What exactly do you mean by that - both in general, and in the specific case you've mentioned? Do you mean that people don't like his words, and he's figuratively "stepping on them" by expressing his thoughts?

I explicitly answered these questions. As a public figure-- someone whose words are read and commented on by many people-- I think it's pretty obvious that his public statements affect public opinion. You still didn't provide any real answer to whether you think that a) public opinion isn't consequential (as opposed to truthful or trustworthy,) or b) whether public figures don't influence public opinion with public statements. So? If you do think public opinion is consequential but don't understand how a public figure publicly questioning the account of an alleged a rape victim constitutes stepping on someone, I'm not sure what to say.
railing against the federal government in a response to an article saying a private company was at fault?
That seems optimistic.

We won't stop eating beef 3x a day even though we know it's literally destroying the world, we still buy diamonds mined by child slaves and clothes sewn by people making pennies per hour and even the sanctions against Russia carved out exceptions for everything the West really wanted/needed.

We didn't stop doing business with China for a genocide in Tibet, an ongoing genocide against the Uyghurs in Xinjiang, the brutality in Hong Kong or the human rights violations in current lockdowns.

If China invades Taiwan, we'll buy iPhones from them anyway and tweet that we don't like what they're doing. Maybe we'll send a few billion dollars to Lockheed and Raytheon to make some weapons for Taiwain, but we won't do anything that actually requires an American to give up the slightest bit of comfort.
I would be surprised to learn that the absolute number of web devs today has gone down since SquareSpace came out. Yes, the $500 website is dead, but there’s still tons of work for tons of people.
They didn't create Webb to put better pictures as your desktop background. Saying it's "overhyped" because you don't understand what it's for is just peak internet, isn't it.
Wow. We actually found a crime that Gascon thinks is worth prosecuting!
It’s not about how I feel - it’s about the potential obliteration of my way of life. The people who will make money out of this transition will be AÍ engineers, not image makers. I will bet you 1 ETH and place it under a smart contract bet if you’d like.
It's not that they are arbiters of morality and truth -- it's that they have a _responsibility_ to do the least harm. They spent money and time to train these models, so it's also up to them to see that they aren't causing issues by making such things widely available.

They won't be using the models they train to commit crimes, for example. Someone who gets access to their best models may very well do that. It'd be really funny (lol, no) if Google's abuse team started facing issues because people are making more robust fake user accounts...by using google provided models.
Im aware of the fact some or many libraries have C bindings to python.
But Python being slow is a major argument people come up with when someone builds a web program, I merely stating, it doesn’t have to be a con.
My high school english classes would upload any papers students wrote to a site that would check for plagiarism. I figured out that if I inserted random zero-width no-break spaces in the middle of words my plagiarism score would drop to zero.

Presumably the plagiarism system was just looking for exact matches of long substrings.
Meh. There’s plenty of work to go around. At the low end, companies are rebuilding their websites all the time, whether it’s on Webflow or whatever. At the higher end, there is plenty of integration work, enterprise apps, etc to be built. Competition is fierce but there is opportunity if you specialize properly and build the right relationships.
Maybe so you can make an empty initial commit and push it to a remote like Github as a placeholder? Or a lazy way to trigger a CI job when you're gonna squash and cleanup later.

I guess conceptually you could use it to represent "I started from nothing."

Room EQ Wizard is your friend.
is Democracy and the integrity thereof not the single most sacred and important thing everyone cares about with regards to government in the West? that's what everyone says all the time, "we're not a constitutional republic, or if we are I don't really like care or whatever—what matters is, we're a Democracy, Democracy is what matters, Democracy is all that matters."

well okay then, if it's so damn important, what the hell is this complete unwillingness to do everything humanly possible to protect it? you can't have it both ways, if you don't ruthlessly defend the institutions that are supposed to be the cornerstone of contemporary Western society, what do you expect will happen?

foreign powers are all too happy to ruthlessly exploit what we delude ourselves into believing isn't worth defending.

> Which of these two codes can you understand faster?

The first one, definitely! The first one shows the structure of the document and places the button in context. I cant actually tell that the second example is equivalent, since there's no "rest of the document" or if there is it's done by magic behind the scenes.

Edit: I don't want to come off as too harsh on this project, this example is relatively simple so it probably doesn't show off the power of programming your email templates as code.
On the bright side, it would be low-level waste in a century.

If you built it underground to begin with, you wouldn't need to bury it.
Interesting. You could presumably also swap out characters for homoglyphs at random.
As someone living in a country that uses my third language, texts - where I can use translation tools, or just take my time to read something slowly - are a million times easier than spoken conversation.

Yup, this exact talking point has been made so many times in so many ways on so many forums that somebody made a site just to rebut it.
> Which implementation are you using

The only one in which all documented (and not) Python stuff works, and all Python packages can be used?

There is only one Python for practical purposes.

> Modern CPUs are pretty good at executing bytecode-based languages, as there's usually a main loop that fits in cache.

When everything fits in the cache, bytecode loses most. The more you saddle code with uncached memory accesses, the less it matters whether it's bytecode or machine code. This is just Amdahl's Law.

The best performing Python code will be that which spends very few cycles in any byte code loop, and just lets the C routines in Python do all the work.

The interesting possiblity is that a bytecode program (and it's interpreter) together fit into the instruction and data cache. Whereas the equivalent machine code program blows the instruction cache. I'm not sure that this scenario is possible with Python in such a way that it actually makes it faster.
Furthermore, save for some nice branding color schemes, better font sizing, and maybe a few other useful UI features, an email should be almost all text and images. It should be treated more like a postal letter or a chatroom message.
Yeah the paper uses O notation for complexity, but never when N is constant. For constant N and M, the paper uses the number of scalar multiplication operations performed as complexity measure. According to Figure 3, their algorithm has decreased the best known value from 49 to 47 for 4x4 matrices, and from 98 to 96 for 5x5 matrices (as well as some further state of the art improvements).
This is the least BS comment I’ve seen here. Thanks you’re right, change is inevitable. I just dropped this here as a challenge if you will, but the overall feeling seems to be “you will actually make more money” or just “become an AÍ prompt person”. The first I don’t think is true and the second doesn’t interest me honestly. I trained in my craft so I could become a craftsman, if you will I’ve always wanted to become a monk who would make copies of books, not a printing press operator.
I'm assuming this precompiles the HTML before sending it, given the render() call.
And yet, I doubt those 10K devs could collectively produces something in that 10 mins that would come even close to me and a random other person putting in 6 months.

I have been hearing this for many years that India has abundance of human capital but reality paints a different picture. Fact is many Western companies that have set up manufacturing shop in India eventually moved out because it was losing money. Ford is a good example.
While I can appreciate the measured tone in TFA, at some point you've got to take a step back and ask what the hell is going on. This instance reeks of an egregious conflict of interest and this response is negligent on behalf of the board.

The current TOR Board scenario is akin to having a known child-abusing relative babysit your own kid, catching them inexplicably sitting with the kid alone in a darkened room in a state of undress, then saying:

"Well, this is strange.. but we can't prove you were planning anything malicious this time around. As you were, mate!"

Sometimes a harsh response is warranted to preserve integrity of that which is important. This is one of those times.

My confidence in TOR was already kind of low, now how can I trust and be assured the lack of firm response isn't due to integrity already being compromised and no longer the main priority?

The public trust in TOR is EVERYTHING the project has*.

How to Bypass LinkedIn Connection Limit Using LinkedCamp
You might find yourself with an alert message about reaching your weekly LinkedIn connection limit. However, this should not alarm you – there are ways around it.

Normally, you would have to wait around a week for LinkedIn to let you send more requests. You can lose a lot of valuable lead generation and contacts waiting around, though.

This is exactly what we have LinkedIn automation tools for.
As other's have commented, NASA has "free" telescopes donated to them by the NRO.
For home users, there is a simple solution to spam...

Anyone not in your contacts gets sent to voicemail. The voicemail 'greeting' message says "Hi, if you need to contact me, send me an email to [your email address] and I'll call back. If it's urgent, put 'urgent' in the subject and I'll call back immediately.". Set a rule so that urgent emails make your phone vibrate/make noise.

Robocallers won't do that. Most real humans will. Marketers usually won't. Collections agencies usually will.

It's the perfect filter.
I think the dilemma of remote work is that some of us moved to a place with worse available jobs. I’d take a pay hit, a prestige hit, and honestly even then I might end up at a lazily hybrid company with a ghost town office
> But that's not receding, that's has receded.

A recession is past tense. One can speculate that we are in a recession, but it's not feasible to collect all the information necessary to make that determination in real time. The best one can do is say, "a recession started six months ago, and I think the situation is better/the same/worse."

Learn how to write. It's as simple as that. These models will require well-crafted prompts to produce the desired outputs.

Your way to get ahead of this is to learn how the models transform a prompt into a video or image. You will quickly realize there's way more nuance and need for precise terminology than the shelf examples you're seeing.

These models are only as good as the prompts they receive. Someone needs to write those precise prompts. You are way ahead of everyone else because you already understand the concepts, terminology, and process of video production and CG.
