... fitting new tires takes slightly longer, probably on the order of the charging time of the Rimac, unless you have a pit crew following you around. At least, based on the times I've had tires replaced.

I guess maybe you get priority treatment when you're dropping north of $40K on tires every 15 minutes... :-)

Not a mechanical engineer, but similar assumptions. Chances are the term wouldn't have become a fixture in software jargon without that folk etymology. I'm genuinely surprised that it's quite literally about copy/paste, and not about formalities at all!
So ... is it ...

1) Just a debit card disguised as a blockchain?

2) Just a stable coin disguised as real dollars?
Why the issue with nuclear ?
No one was upset that he donated from his own money. It was never portrayed as a breach of fiduciary duty. What upset people is that he's a homophobe. No one wanted to work for him, have the fruits of their labor used to undermine theirs or their friends' human rights, or use software stewarded by a homophobic leader.
I'm confident that we should stop talking about crypto "currencies", because a currency where you get rich by just holding to it is the contrary of a good currency.

I create value in the real world and use the euro to exchange it against something else of value, which is very convenient, but the euro itself is not the goal.

Call it unregulated crypto gambling or something, that would be more honest.

>If I was being primarily judged by how performative I could appear on paper, it was a pretty dubious evaluation.

Completely agree. It seems as if a lot of people here assume that a potential bias statement is the only factor being used to make hiring/funding decisions. I suspect it is has a marginal impact. Further, somehow, people extrapolated this from an addendum to the scientific inquiry method to something that is going to make or break careers.

Anyway, thanks for responding to my question for more information, rather than just downvoting it!
It's called "cultural Marxism". It's not necessarily a conspiracy, but it's certainly a thing. DEI is just the latest consultant scheme.
I should have been more explicit. Go is garbage collected. If you keep a pointer live, then it’s not garbage, which prevents it from being collected.

At least Go doesn’t use RAII, so inadvertently pinning a pointer won’t keep a socket open or a lock held.
For PLB I am pretty sure it's universal. For messengers (like the inreach), find out what people in your geo use between iridium or SPOT because satellite coverage can vary. For example, I have heard that in alaska SPOT's only geostationary sat is really low on the southern horizon and anything that breaks LOS will interfere with the device.

For PLB specifically you cannot test them. Once you activate them, they continually broadcast and cannot be canceled except by destroying the device. For messengers, they hook up to a web service and you can send messages to personal email or SMS via the sat network as your test.
Consider, for a moment, the possibility that I don't just get news from Hacker News. =P
The crypto industry lobbying effort has been trying to have the CFTC regulate crypto, and escape SEC regulation.[1] Now we know why.

The CFTC is mostly concerned about how things are traded. Not what the things are. Commodities are things like wheat and oil, which already exist. Not newly created things. There's nothing like an IPO in commodities. (The CFTC does regulate derivatives, which complicates this.) So the CFTC has no regulations which apply when someone issues a new crypto coin, NFT series, or whatever. The crypto issuers like that.

The SEC has two main areas of regulation - securities issued by companies, and markets. Most of the SEC's efforts are on the issuer side. The definition of a security is very broad. If you raise money by offering the potential for future profit, it's probably a security. See Howey Test.

There was litigation over whether the SEC had broad authority to regulate crypto issuers. So the SEC has been holding back on things that were not blatant fraud. On November 8, 2022, SEC vs LBRY was decided, which pretty much says crypto issues are securities, period.

Current thinking on the SEC side is that Bitcoin is probably a commodity, because the issuer is long gone and not profiting from it, but everything in crypto with a live issuer behind it is probably a security.

Yes, in the early versions of the automated invalidation, the logic cleared all cached data based on tables. That is no longer the case. The invalidations only remove the affected data from the cache, globally. You can read more here: https://docs.polyscale.ai/how-does-it-work#smart-invalidatio...
I'm not giving a middlebrow dismissal. There exists a real discoverability problem with virtual assistants, and asking users to "just try things" leads them to try things that don't work, and then conclude that the assistant must not be as useful as they thought.

Moreover, when an assistant doesn't do a thing, you're unlikely to try it again later; instead most people will conclude "I guess it can't do that" and move on. If they add the feature later, it's too late.

With every failed request, your confidence that an assistant really is intelligent and can understand you, diminishes more and more. Every time a user hits a dead end with a virtual assistant, it doesn't encourage them to try more things that do work, it instead gives the user less confident that anything will.

I can't count the number of times my wife has been surprised I can get Siri to do things. Her typical response is "I can never get her to understand me so I just stick with timers." It's a real problem, and I'm not being dismissive of anything.

In contrast, reread your comment in this context. You're taking my comment, reading in the least charitable way, condescending to me about the meaning of finite when the rest of my comment clarifies what I mean, and being completely dismissive of the point I'm trying to make. How can you say I'm the one issuing middlebrow dismissals?
Renewables will still require some form of long-term utility energy storage though. Hydrogen seems like it could be a useful medium for that - batteries have gotten a lot better, but it's not clear that they'll become cheap enough when everything else wants batteries as well. Pumped hydro can only be installed in so many places (not to mention the tremendous environmental impact of building it).
I have dim memories of lego positioning their stuff as gender-neutral when I was a kid. That went comprehensively out the window in the mid-90s or so, presumably when some lego marketer discovered the (dubious) joys of market segmentation.
I don't know - I've only had the machine a few weeks and haven't worried about battery life or details of sleep configuration at all. So far I'm mostly using it plugged in.

Keep your head down, I guess.
Given that there are organisms that can literally effect human and animal behavior, in a way the system itself is partly controlled by the organisms inside it.

The big ones are toxoplasma, rabies, etc but there's a theory that many viruses and bacteria seek to control the behaviour of the host to enable successful spread. Perhaps flu makes people more social before they get too ill? Perhaps some sexually transmitted diseases change behaviour to make the host more promiscuous? Almost impossible to perform any studies on humans, but for fish...

I'll rephrase: they're not paying you to mindlessly churn out lines of code. The end product matters. But the bulk of that time is spent thinking, whether you realise it or not, and frankly that's a much more useful perspective for the OP to take, as they're trying to reconcile their comfort with charging for time in meetings and lunch, because they think they're not being "productive".

My kids watched different content at 2, at 8, and at 16 years old. Anything beyond late teens maybe could be chalked up to "advertising BS" but I would push further that my older parents watch markedly different content then I do at middle age, and I watch markedly different content than when I was in my early twenties.

They could probably figure out watch preferences with good statistics, (and do), but asking for age probably gets them in the right ball park a lot faster.
What about billing for time spent traveling for business relates trips? Especially long flights. Do you just bill as if you'd worked 8 hours that whole day, or by the hour spent traveling, including to and from the airport?
Sure. Many home DECT phones are small enough to pocket or have belt clips. If it is on a desk or nightstand next to you the vibration will be noticed though.
One highlighted point struck a chord with me. All the different forms of closures and function bodies are cut from a single complete form with some parts omitted. Like how a URL can have many optional parts that we don't normally use but fit in without invalidating other things you know about how to write them.

The exact opposite was all the function/lambda syntax forms in Swift.
Unionization at work, integration in the neighborhoods and schools.

Yet the same people advocating this "decolonizing" nonsense are also advocating segregation. The reason is that they need racism to continue. It is, for them, the axis around which the perpetual struggle must turn. Therefore, we can never acknowledge progress toward stamping out racism, nor permit ideas that help end it (like Martin Luther King Jr.'s notions on color-blindness, which are now vilified under CRT).

…which until recently was 'LedgerX' (still its domain name), & wasn't part of the bankruptcy filing, seems to be operating normally, & has reassured customers their assets are, per its regulated processes, separately custodied (not with the unlicensed/offshore FTX).

So while it takes some time for these things to unravel – it could be the next domino to fall! – there is at least a plausible story that the actual CFTC-licensed entity here (fka LedgerX) was spared the theft & bankruptcy.

That would be a credit to the CFTC's regime, rather than the knock portrayed here.

(I believe that this spin comes from a advocacy group for maximal regulations, firing a salvo to support its factions in DC, taking advantage of confusion about which related but legally-distinct entities are licensed.)
Tell me when Pro Tools supports Linux. Or Ableton. Or Cubase. Or FL Studio. Today there is one major DAW that supports Linux, which is Bitwig. But there are very few plugins and the vast majority of the revenue and users are on Windows and MacOS. The TL;DR is that there's not a convincing argument to support Linux today by the major developers. It's a chicken and egg problem to be sure.

I've tried Ubuntu Studio. It's not better except that it had early support for preempt rt. I still think Linux audio is a disaster.

Did the judge say that? I would think the logic was that they were effectively getting stolen money as gifts. Like when a scammer gives their victims' money to their own family. Doesn't matter if they were in the dark or even spent it already.

As I understand it, if stolen/scam money is used to buy something it's not the seller's responsibility because money is legal tender. On the other hand, if a stolen item is sold, the issue of knowing where it came from does becomes important.

You know, I often see this faster horses thing quoted to point at how dumb consumers are.
Wouldn't you agree, however, that a car which doesn't drive itself home after you've had a bit too many drinks at the local saloon is a downgrade? A car which doesn't graze its own food is a downgrade? A car which doesn't automatically make more cars is a downgrade?
Perhaps if someone had figured out 'faster horses' sooner we wouldn't have literally millions of people dead from car crashes. Perhaps we wouldn't have an atomized society with little social interaction.

It seems to me that once people know that something exists, which is possible through way more methods than the constant cognitive assault of our advertising-based culture, then they can do just fine at figuring out if the thing is useful to them.

But yeah, keep gloating about how dumb people are for not just wanting a better version of what works.
I've long held that really, the thing Big Tech has been doing is strategic brain drain via talent attraction.

It is relatively easy to become entrenched when you buy off everyone who even becomes/registers as a threat, especially when capital is cheap and plentiful.

This strategy is only reinforced by the quick dumping of workforce when capital gets more expensive. Those "threats" shrink when in direct proportion to the degree of difficulty in acquiring startup capital.

If there actually were a pressing need for the best of the best, they wouldn't have frozen hiring, as they'd be continuing to keep an eye out for the new cream of the crop. No one'll admit it, of course, but I have heard it several times in various forms, generally boiling down to what I'd call the adage of "if they are working for you, that's one less worker for your competitor," in my career.
You should name that phenomenon
They probably paid a pretty penny for it.

My first startup job was a skunks work project and we had around 128 noun-adjective pairs we wanted to find a .com domain for. All of them were taken.

We had to settle on a .io domain, and this was 7 years ago.

2 year in we came up with a better name and managed to get a .com... with a dash in the URL.

Again, you're saying "the crypto community".

So who?

"Who?" "What?" "When?" "Where?" "How?"

Here's a thought, "Why?"

Who specifically? What evidence did they give you? How are they communicating that it's a fraud? Why do they think it's a fraud?

Journalistic quality requires you to answer questions. Some answers can be "it's under investigation", but you have to have an answer.

You've, again, made a vague reference to something as nebulous as a "community" and you want it to be taken as equally authoritative in nature to the NYTimes' reference to the SEC and the SEC's investigation.

It's just not.

You have to name the organizations, and layout the actions they're taking.

"...I would argue that outside big tech, this is 0.1%."

Fair point regarding the unlabeled/unstructured data. One could also argue that
labeled data isn't going to be a prerequisite forever (see https://ai.facebook.com/blog/the-first-high-performance-self...). We see a very sharp rise in unstructured data use for ML (especially a large spike caused by large language models like Dall-E 2 and Stable Diffusion). In my opinion, the majority of the novel use cases are outside of big tech, and we also see a trend in "legacy" companies like media, manufacturing, etc. start building dedicated ML teams. The industry is still nascent, but it is growing fast. Frankly, we see the pain points we're solving resonate with so many more companies than just a year ago.

Agree re Snowflake/Databricks, they are partners rather than competitors. We sit on top of S3/GCS or other blob storages and currently are competing with various in-house solutions that ML scientists built themselves. I do see your point regarding large foundational models that would be only fine-tuned on the tail end for various use cases. I believe there still would be still companies building foundational models from scratch (currently at 5 billion images) so they can serve more application-specific products and unstructured data generators that partner with those companies creating a good enough market for the tool.
