Every six months the rate changes. The rate of an I Bond is called the “combined rate”, as it’s based on a formula using an annual fixed rate and a semi-annual inflation rate. The formula is [fixed rate + (2 x semiannual inflation rate) + (fixed rate x semiannual inflation rate)].

The fixed rate has been and probably will remain 0%. The inflation rate is what has been fluctuating, and gets set every 6 months.

Yes they do. Not the banks. The billionaires who came in as junior partners. Larry Ellison is supposed to be in for a billion. a16z and Andreessen personally are reported to have equity investments. One of the Binance founders, or Binance as a company is supposed to have hundreds of millions of equity. The very large Saudi investor (I don't know if it was an individual or the sovereign wealth fund) when Twitter was public is still involved.

There are a few publicly known partners, and a few who got turned away. They have equity.

I sympathize with you and I won't vote you down. However I do think that the issue is much bigger then a moral issue. Realize that AI art will become better then human art. It's the trend.

If AI art is better than what humans can make then this is more than a simple moral issue.... basically the inevitable future is that the entire occupation of "art" will be steam rolled and 99% of what's out there will become computer generated. Morals be damned, it won't even be a factor. A bunch of scholarly types trying to quantify the rightness and wrongness of something isn't going to mean jack when the power to do create art is so easy and trivial.

In fact the morals will shift with the culture and technology and it will be a violent shift. People getting angry here is just the beginning of bigger conflicts in the future. If AI keeps improving things will stabilize into an age of humanity where original art is but a cheap commodity, but that age is not one that will arrive soon, the step before that is violence.

The even scarier part is that it's not just art that's being targeted here. Art is just one of the first victims.
I used to use Squirrelmail and later HMailServer for a while. Both were good but I got tired of maintaining the infrastructure so I relented and switched to gmail for a long while. Finally I decided that something I use all the time is worth paying for so I started using Proton Mail and I love it. I migrated all of my mail without any issues. I like their emphasis on security, I wish email in general was more secure than it is.

Do you really think this is an efficient allocation of resources? Here's a thought: Zuckerberg is worth $30 to 40bn [1]. Let's take $10bn of that and let Zuckerberg personally invest that in start-ups. Which team do you think will innovate more? Facebook burning ten times that? Or $10bn fronting founders?

Still baffled by the amount of people rocking a 60% keyboard. The F-keys are still widely used people and make sense to be their own key.

You want to go tkl and pull out your number pad when/if you need it more power to you, but anything smaller than that and your working against yourself in my eyes.
There’s quite the market for ARM-powered single board computers with Rockchip, Amlogic, Allwinner, Broadcom, and other system-on-chip (SoC) brands at its heart...

Depending on what device you buy, you may or may not get excellent support from the manufacturer, an online community, or maybe even books and magazines with step-by-step instructions. In many cases, the device isn’t fully supported by the “vanilla” Linux kernel, so you’re either stuck with some old kernel build or, by using a newer mainline kernel, you miss out on some features and performance optimizations that haven’t been upstreamed yet.

Could anyone recommend something in this class that does have good linux support with the vanilla kernel?
Strongly second this recommendation. The book is eye-opening - you won't look at the western hemisphere the same way again.
> Odds are most are still up on their investment.

I'm not so sure about that; FB hasn't traded in this range since mid-2015, doesn't pay dividends and hasn't had any splits. Also, USD today is worth ~20% less in real terms today than it was in 2015
I agree with this. It's gotten way easier to use pre-trained models to deploy software with custom prompt engineering.
Awesome, will add them, thanks!
I don't feel any need to argue any particular point because I could abandon 90% of my points and it still wouldn't be a contest. Of the 3, if we ask "which of these is closest to being an imperial nationalist power?" the answer is the US. It isn't remotely close. There is no Russian empire. There is no Chinese empire. They are struggling mightily to promote their interests abroad because of all the US bases people keep tripping over, and US-based systems of global governance. Their armies are struggling to move more than a few hundred kilometres from the borders that the US recognises. The US military goes where it wants and does what it wants.

A dictatorship just couldn't sustain a global empire the way a democracy like the US does (or the British before them). Dictatorships don't have the economic and military nous. If Russia wanted to win more wars it'd need to use a political system more like the US's - China too.

Fun fact: I didn't actually know what nationalism meant before today's article so I looked it up in Wikipedia. The definition is something like "nationalism tends to promote the interests of a particular nation".
If this war had begun under a parliamentary democracy (that in itself is not certain but let’s assume it’s the case for the sake of argument), the government would almost certainly have been forced to find ways to pull out of it before the “partial mobilization”. There’s no way a parliamentary democracy would have survived that.
In general I don't, but usually when meeting someone new we introduce each other right?
Otherwise if the person is someone you know already there's a better chance that you know what is their line of work.

Also It's more of a analogy thing
Explain stuff to them in their language.

But while writing stuff we don't know who's going to read it, so a general analogy, a bit tech stuff and few visual stuff all of these can be used.
Looks like that fixed it. Thanks!
> The F-keys are still widely used people and make sense to be their own key for a LOT

That varies quite a bit between individuals. Doing native mobile dev work under macOS, I can count the number of times I need an F-key in an entire month on a single hand. They don't get used anywhere near enough to need their own row.

That said the presence of an F-row doesn't bother me — it's not as if they're hurting anything by being there — but there are no keyboards with both an F-row and my preferred layout (the HHKB/Tsangan variant of 60%) so few of my keyboards have F-rows.
The word completely does over-assert that quote, but it's disingenuous to pretend that the quote does not follow from your overall point. People with good "theory of mind" would supposedly read between the lines, but I guess it was never that simple. Spoiler alert: there's no such thing as one true generalized theory of mind.
I think most people just use a layer for the F keys. It also means their fingers don’t need to travel as far to hit them.

There was a great exchange on Twitter the other day. Someone had generated anime style images of “Yann LeCun at Bell Labs working on convolutional neural networks." Yann LeCun responded with a comment that Totoro was next, then Meta AI replied with joke action items to generate storyboards with AI and set up a meeting with the studio.

Studio Ghibli responded with a picture of the wolf from Princess Mononoke, displeased.

If I lay out the reasoning more precisely and in the simplest terms, maybe it would then be easier to identify which part might be the stumbling block here.

1. An employee of Google makes propellers for Google.

2. The sum of their work benefits Google, either in profit, new assets or some other way, because Google isn't employing them just for fun

3. As an adtech company, surveillance and datagathering are at the core of Google's activities and modus operandi.

4. The growth in power and reach of Google thus directly implies increased surveillance

5. As per 2., The employee currently dedicates their working life to making Google more successful and powerful

6. Therefore the employee furthers surveillance and datagathering, even if their contribution might be small
Some string operations written in C from the lib, funny to see these and how ubiquitous they still are:

if (*s1++=='\0')

return (0);

return (*s1 - *--s2);

}

/*

register int n;

n = 0;

while (*s++)

n++;

By that reasoning specifications can't have bugs either. Sure, by some extreme prescriptive understanding of what a compiler or specification is, there are no bugs, but if a cryptography specification allows attacks in the threat model or rustc segfaults, all but the most asinine parties would agree there's a bug -- what's the point of asserting otherwise?
The push for everything to go to HTTPS feels like it fits in here. I'm envisioning one day your browser just doesn't speak unencrypted HTTP and you can no longer bypass warnings for untrusted/self-signed certificates. You can't use a better browser or install/remove certificates as you please without illegal jailbreaking.
This seems to make an interesting point that could maybe be leveraged in empirical studies but I don't think it solves the hard problem.
No, and the idea is widely derided by paleontologists because it's pretty much untestable.

> It would be a stupid move...

Please do remember that this company you work for is somewhat notorious on this website for making "stupid moves" seemingly every other day with respect to basic product management. The usual defense is that some internal incentive mechanism blindly optimized for these stupid moves and no one is at the wheel to change the company's high-level behavior... is there really any reason to believe things are different here? Is there a mechanism by which someone helping a user get around a CSAM filter would get them promoted at Google, or would they just be taking on potentially-arbitrary levels of internal risk going off the rails on a side project wherein they have to condone something that has an air of danger to it with the only real goal of helping a user who probably wasn't even paying Google anything in the first place? I admittedly don't work at Google, but the impression one gets on the outside looking in is that doing something that wouldn't cause some major impact on your performance review "isn't very Googley" :(.

> This would be the reaction of most professional ethologists as well.

A behaviorist maybe, but an ethologist?

* an ethologist surely knows that gene mutations can be advantageous for the family/group as well as the individual

* an ethologist surely knows that a previous advantage for survival can persist as a vestige

* an ethologist can surely rinse and repeat to find all kinds of fascinating combinations in living organisms which-- while they may not disadvantage the organism-- cannot be explained in the present as construing any clear survival advantage

Those alone are enough to develop an incremental path out of the narrow rational view that Graeber ascribes to Ethology's history. I can't imagine Ethology didn't already get there.

Ethologists: what say you?

Edit: Related process in an unrelated field-- early 20th Century German comparitive musicology eventually became the perfectly reasonable and relativist field of Ethnomusicology. AFAICT Ethnomusicologists kept the instrument taxonomy and the ethnologies, and then got off the "gold standard" of high-Romantic German art music. :)

i've read the Stanford prof's books on dealing with aholes, etc. -- it's all fantasy. maybe there's something out there that could work, but i doubt it.

my general take on these situations is that they are all identical, across industries. Things have not changed, and they will most likely not change until some crazy culture shift happens at work. I don't see it on the horizen but a 4-day work week is coming, so who knows?

and, not really pertinent to the outcome, but i am curious if he was around during the interview, and/or if you inquired if there were an aholes on the team or supervising you. i'd guess not, but i've been in situations where even people who were not outwardly prototypical assholes -- more like 'nice guys' -- turn out to be real assholes, and they hide well in plain site during interviews.

Register renaming allows CPUs to eliminate stalls due to reuse of a register; I have not noticed any compiler putting particular emphasis on interleaving accesses well.

That is actually more of a problem on in order CPUs because a single stall will hold up the entire CPU instead of take longer to commit while other stuff is going on.

No.

The issue with flash and applets was not that you had to download stuff.

It was that the security was non-existent (leading to the embedded runtime routinely crashing your browser), the interactivity was divergent from its surroundings, and the accessibility model was MIA.

Also downloading 500K over 56k and over fiber or 5G are rather different propositions.

Market lacks the understanding of most of the new tech. It's been like that for decades. Apple stock is a great example, some of them tried to bankrupt Tesla with shorting and uber (as a bad) and many other new tech IPOs.

FWIW, I used to have a nice remote office setup and still found myself wanting to run away from it (to a library or coffee shop) to meet a form of Marchetti's constant ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marchetti's_constant ), and started going down the rabbit hole of https://reddit.com/r/ergomobilecomputers
A few years ago a friend and I were debugging a website he'd built that scraped data from Youtube, reorganized it, and built a web page that automatically categorized and assigned metadata to it. It was quite effective, and got more traffic than he expected, but it's value came in how it shed light on all sorts of bugs Youtube has.

One of the things we discovered is that Youtube actually runs from three content delivery networks who all have to agree on what data is to be displayed. The user data, such as your profile, watch history, and subscriptions, are in the first CDN. The video description, title, and comments attached to the video are in the second. The video itself and related data such as ad placement, categorization, and closed captions, are on a third CDN.

If the CDNs don't agree or one doesn't get updated in time before the page draws itself, you get mismatched descriptions/titles, mismatched comments, or some of the strangeness people have noticed where the timeline "watched" preview in the thumbnail is wrong by showing the user stopped watching earlier in the video than they actually did.
