Requiring only attribution and nothing else is very generous and only fair. Would be a serious dick move if someone fails to do even this, more so if it's for a commercial product.

Where can we find a similar such thing for the sources repurposed and/or redistributed for or through Copilot, anyway?
Absolutely agree, I miss the staff picks and forums more than I miss the tracker.
Yes but he may be optimizing for the younger, unmarried with no kids employees he can manage like he wants. Remove remote work and this filters out the types that are less likely to put up with his demands and managerial style, expectations, etc.

> At a cultural level, we didn’t stop smoking just because the habit was unpleasant or uncool or even because it might kill us. We did so slowly and over time, by forcing social life to suffocate the practice. That process must now begin in earnest for social media.

I think smaller, focused social networks will emerge/survive and will be much better for society. The concept of a “town square” online is a fallacy and really doesn’t help people, it sure helps these companies make money, well some of them.

The current climate of public, global social media promotes and fosters content that is controversial and draws in heated oppositional arguing, aka “engagement”. The people that engage in this content think first, likely subconsciously, to poke holes in peoples comments, ridicule, troll, and be controversial because they know it gets comments which might get them whatever “score” that social media network uses. Localized content, from people you know directly, is much more normal - pics of things you do, events you’re going to and old school sharing of your life.

Also, at this point the “chipmunk” sound is part of the brand and will be kept to some extent for tracks labelled as vocaloids (it’s kind of a market on its own)

> grammatical gender is in most cases only really as hard as learning the words themselves

That's a really good point actually, one I've not heard before.

I think it's still harder learning from an ungendered language, since you naturally think of mapping word:word, but you also need word:gender now. With your point though, maybe I can have an easier time of it by trying to consciously think of it instead as word:(word, gender), if that makes sense.
Staff picks still make up a huge % of my personal listening

A band named KLF burned a million quid back in the mid 90s. It was
ostensibly "performance art" [1].

In 2000 formative internet commerce pioneer Josh Harris blew about 80
million in a few weeks on an "arts project". He is the subject of Ondi
Timoner's 2009 documentary "We Live in Public" [2] He described it as
"liberating" and said that other dot-com millionaires had "wasted
their money" and didn't "know how to live".

Maybe Elon fancies himself as an artist?

> A bigger problem with blended wing designs is actually for the people on the peripheral. When the plane banks, passengers further from the axis of rotation will feel a more significant change in their altitude. You literally feel like you're "falling", as the plane banks to your side.

This is a problem that a market can easily solve: make the more central seats more expensive than the outer ones. If the pricing is right, the demand for the various kinds/positions of seats will be balanced.

P.S. I can actually imagine that there do exist people who prefer the outer seats because they like the acceleration that makes the flight feel more like a carnival ride. :-)
Economic repercussions of Covid and Putin’s war are to be expected and not ‘suicide’. Reliance on Russian energy was something the US strongly disapproved of.

It is called a coordinated turn and it is what one normally aspires to fly.

https://www.boldmethod.com/learn-to-fly/aerodynamics/the-aer...

A coordinated turn with 60 degrees bank should be achievable by any airworthy airplane (it requires pulling 2g), and the maximum bank angle for a steady-state coordinated turn depends on how many g you can pull before you run out of control authority, cause an accelerated stall, or reach the airframe's structural limit.

Next time you fly, get a beverage of your choice and observe how it behaves. Here's an example, courtesy of the great test pilot Bob Hoover:

At the risk of sounding pedantic but also not being a meat eater, is there a difference between steak and ground beef? Because steak is mentioned twice in this article (in the headline and once in the body), but the actual chart shows ground beef. This is in no way a defense of Lucky Charms (although they are magically delicious), but I was always of the perhaps false belief that steak is healthier than ground beef?
Spotify is definitely not tuned for discovery. Thankfully, https://everynoise.com exists, which is what I use when I'm trying to find something different.
Why didn't we end up with SGML -> XML "compilers"?

As I understand it, XML is intended to be equivalent to SGML, with less syntactic flexibility to make it easier to parse. So once you've done the hard work of parsing SGML, it seems like it should be straightforward to emit the same data as XML for further machine processing.

Or are there some SGML features that cannot be represented with an equivalent in XML?

What are some best practices to deal with in on a PC? I mean, by default pretty much everything is closed and it's not like there is any "legitimate traffic" at all, but over time it still accumulates some open ports by running stuff in docker and elsewhere: a jupyter console here, an MPD UI there — most of the time I don't even think about the fact that I'm constantly scanned by someone, and remember only after I see some logs and get disturbed by the number of rude guests.

> If you're going to correct someone, you'd likely want to do it right

The way you phrased it prepared me for a rebuttal, but you seem to agree that my comment was factual, but disagree with my temporal anchoring?

Signing the purchase agreement is a background to my point[1], and incidentally further strengthens my point: when he signed the agreement, it wasn't apparent that this was setting money on fire until after the bottom fell out of the stock market - which is when Musk started hinting at buyers remorse. None of which points to Musk wasting money just to show that he can (as gp was hinting); this is the mythologizing I am against - making it seem like he's playing 9D chess rather than someone with terrible risk management flailing and throwing stuff onto the walls to see what sticks.

1. One has to start somewhere, otherwise you'll have to go back to the big bang: you chose to start at the time Musk signed purchase agreement, but skipped over his rejecting the board seat, or secretly purchasing 9% of Twitter shares before that. However, this doesn't mean you are "not doing it right" in framing your correction-to-a-correction.
>Maybe I'm an outlier

Rest assured, I don't think you are :)
C++ has been used on machines with very high CPU core counts for a long time. By now, things like std::async for spawning tasks on a different core are even part of the standard library.

Go is also really good at saturating many cores with its low-overhead goroutines.

> Engineers are exploring radical new designs for commercial planes that would use less energy and lower emissions. But will passengers be willing to board them?

They don't really explore the question in this subtitle very well. There's like one line late in the article about "passenger acceptability is one of the criteria built into its contest", so the short answer must be yes.

I assume the longer answer is "Yeah, of course. Passengers of commercial airlines already put up with a lot of terrifying, uncomfortable, dehumanizing things, there's no reason to suspect they'd be so spooked by airplanes that look different that they decide never to travel."

We Rewrote Everything in $Hotlang, and Our Startup Still Failed (2020)
The market for carbon offsets isn't really regulated and the partner registries aren't accountable to anyone nor does anything prevent you from making one yourself. Needless to say they aren't exactly what you'd call reliable. Half the time you're paying someone with a golf course to not chop down trees that they weren't going to remove anyway.

There is a fundamental conflict of interest with this as most corporations are trying to buy as many offsets for as little of an investment as possible to present themselves as net zero, so whoever is good at marketing and manages to provide a better (and likely impossible) ratio of offset/pay will get most business. As such it's a feedback loop that rewards competent scammers and cuts out fair parties for being uncompetitive.

Without proof that you can see for yourself as to where the funding is used and what the actual physical results are I wouldn't trust anything. Perhaps that's something that OP can provide.

It does make sense. Compression is a uniformly applied filter. It's like a contrast adjustment or colour curve. It also affects amplitude only. (It can also be done really badly - I'm not a huge fan of its abuse in the loudness wars, but that's not what we're talking about here.)

Compression is an effect that's applied. Selective tuning, like quantisation, is the result of an _interactive, selective edit_. It's the equivalent of photoshopping out the spots on my ass and making my hips a little narrower. Sure I could have not had that ingrown asshair, and maybe my hips would be narrower if I worked out. But the reality is different.

(Also IMHO ratio is a better single indicator of severity of compression, rather than dB)

One thing to note is that FTX.us is an affiliated company that is onshore in the US, that does have compliance requirements, and FTX.us is currently not believed to be insolvent/bankrupt. *This may not be true, there are rumors that I haven't looked into that FTX.us is halting withdrawals, which does not bode well.*

FTX.com is some conglomeration of entities incorporated in Antigua, Bermuda, and the Bahamas[1]. FTX.com is the one that has blown up, and I won't pretend to know about the reporting requirements of such a complicated structure in multiple jurisdictions.

Also, Sam Bankman-Fried owned 90% of Alameda Research as of last year. So unless that changed(I can't find evidence it has), it looks to me like he tried to bail himself out with customers' money. Presumably he thought he could return the money eventually and no one would be the wiser. So much for that.

This is just my understanding and I am not an expert in these things.

I wonder if a type system could track nondeterminism and prevent it. E.g. you couldn't just loop over a set, you'd have to order it, or apply a commutative operation. It would fit well into concurrency too, where nondeterminism is easily introduced.

I'm sure there are languages which do this, I seem to recall seeing it in Mercury

I seriously doubt that russia planned this doctrine against ukraine, as this doctrine has lineage back from the soviet union, and they wouldn't plan for a ukraine war - ukraine would have been the staging point - and the doctrine matched the plan to cross the fulda gap as fast as possible irregardless of losses to capture strategic locations. the russian aggression of ukraine is not the war that the soviet doctrine was built for, and the logic for why they pick the doctrine cannot be the logic by which this war is waged, because the loop goes strategy > doctrine > production > training and not the other way around. they always had a mechanized force, it's not something contingent to this war and not even emergent in this century, bmps and btrs are 60s designs.

I can make as concession that their doctrine mutated in the 00s, incorporating parts of the full spectrum warfare system of battle, even if it's a partial adoption since there doesn't appear to be a full loop between the different corps, and it that they aimed at superior firepower integration with other corps. but while the operations are planned and executed in cooperation with differnt systems of weapons but without the flexibility of a closed loop between the infantry advancing and the other supporting weapons system

that russia planned it's doctrine around not being able to support logistic is, well, wrong. their doctrine focus on aggressive pushes to keep enemy weapons systems away from the major cities, which all are westward of it's territory, and aim to push away the front line so that russian defensive lines can advance and have time to intercept whichever threat the enemy launches. they don't have the luxury of oceans, so the idea is push aggressively irregardless of attrition, occupy with reservist and deploy forward defences, because otherwise the cities, along with the infrastructure and factories needed for the war effort would be at risk.

their doctrinal documents are available, btw, so one just need to find a traduction and read it.
In these discussions there usually isn't a consistent definition of what being smart means to everyone. People with high IQs, academic success, and even strong histories of successfully applying their intelligence can make one off major mistakes, and also engage in long term systematic error patterns.

The time/investment they spent on their two brand identity typefaces is one side of the equation, the other side is the many, many minutes spent on font decisions in each and every little project in their company if employees are allowed (or maybe even encouraged, it can be quite motivating) to dabble a bit in "visual project identity". And on font licencing awareness training, because those engineer doodles will likely be public. And a Microsoft subsidiary will be an extremely juicy target for licence vultures, github simply can't afford any mistakes in that field.

This is where the wide parameterization of the fonts comes into play: "use one of those two fonts, feel free to go wild with the parameters" is much more likely to actually be followed than "use one of those n fonts, no exceptions", for almost any value of n. And better for morale as well.

Hi guys, love the idea and the code examples look simple and understandable. Nicely done!

One of the reasons we use proprietary pipelines is the automatic 'service principal' login benefits that exist on e.g. Azure Devops, where the pipeline doesn't need to authenticate via secrets or tokens, and instead the running machine has the privileges to interact directly with Azure. (See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/tas... particularly "addSpnToEnvironment" parameter). I'm sure other clouds have something similar.

Running the same pipeline locally, there are ways to synthetically inject this, but there's no ready support in your framework yet for this (as ideally you'd have an 'authentication' parameter that you can set the details for). Is something like this planned?
