Isn't buying political influence with money what most people with absurd amounts of money do? I don't like it one bit either, but it's hardly unique to SBF.

With SBF, there seems to be this attempt at drawing guilt-by-association because of his donations to the Democratic Party. I don't think this makes a lot of sense.

For an example on the other end of the parliamentary spectrum, say, if Musk's future Twitter profits (good luck with that) were to come from the savings from firing half of the company's employees, and he then donated those to the Republican Party, it would be absurd to blame the Republican Party for the loss of jobs that it indirectly benefited from.

Obviously firing employees is not equivalent to fraud, and donating illicit profits could be part of a scheme to launder them. But unless a causal link can be proven, it all looks like speculation to me.

I believe the general recommendation these days is to stay informed, but not necessarily daily, maybe a weekly newspaper.

Online outlets are neverending, breathless and noisy and you will be too, if you follow them.

It is also important to know owners and editors of a particular publication as well as intended audience and circulation.

An interesting tactic is to read a publication from another country.

GBA wasn't bad but it was bulkier to carry on your person. The portability of the SP was killer and the beautiful LCD screen was protected in your bag or pocket.

As far as ergonomics, it wasn't so bad. For more action oriented games, it could be a bit tiring, but for Pokemon it was the perfect machine.

I was just making a joke about how you basically can't back up a trailer with AEB turned on since it sees the trailer behind you and senses an imminent collision. I've got a 2020 Outback and the only other safety feature I turn off is the driver detection or whatever it's called so it doesn't constantly beep at me when I'm looking at cornfields or whatever on road trips.

Super satisfied with the system otherwise though. Lane keeping and adaptive cruise control are good enough to ease the burden on longer trips but just bad enough that I never "fully" trust them and completely divert my attention.
I just used the grep command that OP mentioned in their cat abuse post.

Don't wait until you get the degree to start applying! Send out those applications in droves until you start to get tired of it. Then study for tests. When you get sick of studying, get back to applying. It's honestly just a numbers game.
I'm chiming in to your intellectually lazy comment claiming any kind of myocardits being mild, so I can guarantee it's at least one internet stranger. Also, I never claimed being exposed to COVID without vaccination doesn't carry higher risk.

I prize all FLOSS effort, but try to observe a thing: here is a "PRM" (CRM), there a webmail, there something else, ALL not integrated AT ALL. It's not possible to integrate them since they are different applications.

Now try looking at classic model: anything is a single application, from the OS to user-programmed simple automation. That's true for Smalltalk workstations to LispM. This is so effective that I found today far simpler and power using Emacs than any other modern software, even if modern Emacs just run on top of something else, lacking a LispM underneath, and even if it's development lag in many areas for modern usages.

So to say: all FLOSS authors, instead of trying competing with commercial tools their way, do your best to resurrect the old way. Please choose to learn classic languages like Lisp (CL or anything else) or Smalltalk (see Pharo as an example) to rediscover the idea that there is NO APPLICATION but just one with various bits of code plugged is as needed. So for instance a PRM can include a mail system, a complete agenda/calendar system, ... without trying the Greenspun's tenth rule way, and fail as usual.
Question: Why is the meta company losing stock value?

Answer: The meta company is losing stock value because the company is not making enough money to pay its bills.

Most embedded chips have much less RAM in the M0+ space; they tend to have more Flash. The interesting choices for the 2040 are:

1. More RAM than usual, using ext SPI Flash to load RAM
2. Fancy programmable peripherals
3. TWO cores
4. Very flexible IO mapping. Others do IO mapping, but it's really nice on 2040
5. "Pretty fast" at 133 MHz

and the Total Win (for me)

6. Integrated into Arduino IDE

As for Floating Point, there are some great packages out there that are optimized for Cortex-M https://www.quinapalus.com/qfplib-m0-tiny.html

There also Q-notation, which uses integer HW to do a sort-of fixed-point 'float'. We used this extensively in the 2016 Model X body controls, because the falcon wing door was totally controlled without a floating point processor! That was hard to do... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q_(number_format) Motorola, err, I mean, Freescale provided an excellent library for their automotive-qual PowerPC MPUs.
I'm friends of friends of a couple 2002 CS grads, which was much worse for tech than 2009. All of them ended up working outside of tech. It's really hard to work for a couple of years doing non-tech stuff and then try getting a new grad job when you're no longer a new grad.

My recommendation is a Master's degree if you really want to stay in tech.
If people want to pay for prestige let them.

Ah you're right. I was still thinking back in the GSM vs CDMA days where AT&T phones physically couldn't talk to Verizon towers (and vice versa) so 911 couldn't work either.
> And it contributes a lot more to overall human happiness that way.

That's not the metric I look to optimise for, not sure why you believe I should take "overall human happiness" as the ultimate goal, some kind of weird min-maxing of real life, even less when dealing with things such as whole cities and communities, seems quite ideological to me. I really don't buy it.

I wish somebody would do a very simple roundtrip calculation for each of these 'breakthroughs' and publish it.

all i want to know is the efficiency, cost & power density these on consumption side so I can decide which applications this works best in. on the production side same thing except for power density. the fact that its incredibly hard to find these numbers makes me think that these are mostly puff pieces for hydrogen before BEV eats their lunch.

There have been plently of reports of Russia using S-300 missile systems in the ground attack configuration.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-63247287

And it is not unreasonable that the missiles may have originated from Belarus, since Russia has sortied out of the country throughout the war.
It kinda depends. If I did similar thing many times and can estimate it, why not, but a lot of jobs are not that easy to estimate upfront. Hourly billing also accounts easily for employer changing their mind and wanting something else or expanding scope, no need for "well, it's not what we agreed, pay me more" talk.
You just need a modern front-end or app.

> GOFAI was never more than a rules engine.

GOFAI "aged out" of the AI label and became: compilers, databases, search algorithms, planning algorithms, programming languages, theorem proving, a million things that are still commonly used in NLP/CV/robotics, comp arch, etc. Aka, most of what makes computers actually useful.

If something's over 30 years old and is still called AI, that's just shorthand for saying it's a failed idea that in the best case hasn't had its moment yet.

I adored Blizzard's output for ~20 years - I have every collectors edition they released from Warcraft III to Overwatch - but I'm basically done. The scandals, the shitty monetization, and the half-baked products all point to a radically different culture and company than the one that released Starcraft in 1998. No king reigns forever.
Can be one Russian X-101 and Ukrainian S300 which intercepted it. Could also explain how it landed on Polish territory: it is possible that interception only damaged Russian missile but took it off the course.

In all seriousness, in a true nuclear disaster the survivors will envy the dead.
What makes electrolysis expensive is a whole bunch of secondary details. Impurities in the water foul the catalyst, or steal power for side reactions that may contaminate the product or the water. The best catalysts are expensive metals that you would like not to erode and be carried away.

After you get the hydrogen atoms separated from the oxygen, the oxygen atoms bond to become O2 molecules, releasing heat uselessly, and will later need to separated again (other oxygen, of course) when you burn the hydrogen, consuming much of the released energy; and likewise for hydrogen molecules.

The recent story about using water vapor as the feedstock might signal a solution to the impurities and erosion problems that introduces new problems to solve before it can be used.

Efficiency of the process is becoming unimportant as the cost of solar and wind-generated energy continues rapidly down, making other things like the cost of equipment and the volume of production more important.

The frequent reports on improvements to electrolysis indicate not hype, but research cumulatively improving an important process, just as improvements in production techniques drove and still drive down the cost of solar panels.
How do you construct a commit, in order to commit regularly, without having a staging environment in which to compose that commit?

Is the branch-tip simply the staging area? What if you're only half-done with that final commit?

Neat! I hope this is a step in the right direction towards and not-so-bespoke SCM.

I do wonder:

1) How it handles large (binary) files. This is a major pain point when using git and even the standard solution (git-lfs) leaves *a lot* to be desired.

2) How does server hosting currently work? I didn’t see any mention and am assuming it’s not an option currently? (two dependencies of Sapling are currently closed source)
Leaving aside the option to take a side-by-side/ATV/snowmobile (with skid or trailer if needed) to solve the problem with horsepower, or the option of biological horses instead of petroleum horses:

1. You first field dress it - cut from sternum to tail and pull the entrails, leaving them in a pile in the woods for scavengers. That takes your elk from 700 lbs (you hope) to ~450 lbs.

2. Quarter it and hang the 4 ~100lbs quarters high in a tree safe from bears and wolves (but not cougars) and carry them out one at a time using a backpack with a frame and hip belt. Be sure to carry the prime cuts (backstraps) out with the first load. Watch for predators on the return trips.

3. It's becoming more common, too, to fully butcher the animal in the field, removing the bones, which reduces the load to haul down to about 200 lbs. The skin, ivory, and head (if you want those) add some weight.

A Jet Sled in 2" of snow makes it surprisingly easy to haul an awful lot of elk and gear. As long as you're going across flat ground or downhill, that is - uphill is no fun at all.

A whitetail here in Michigan is much easier, even a big one is only about 100 lbs after field dressing. You just lay it on a drag/tarp or in a sled (or, if you don't care about the skin staying pristine and aren't going over super rocky terrain, just tie a rope to the antlers and front legs) and drag it out.
In my opinion, Git added too many moving parts in a poorly-designed way. Commits, the staging area, and stashes all implement the same sort of idea, but interact poorly and considerably complicate workflows. Having them is better than not having them, but Git would have been better off if they consolidated into a single idea and concentrated their efforts on that. If you can remove a concept from Git and still support the same workflows equally well, then surely that concept was unnecessary. (Whether the staging area is actually better served by other concepts is a matter of judgment.)
> Okay, but what does corporate structure complexity have to do with fraud?

Their point is that we can't look at those diagrams and determine if LB was more complex than FTX, because we suspect that those diagrams weren't drawn with the same granularity. So it's possible (perhaps even likely) that LB was more complex than FTX, and this would be apparent if we were to compare diagrams drawn with the same granularity.
Imagine it was 10 seconds instead. Would rounding it to 15 seconds be reasonable, but 1 minute too much?

Taking a Long Term View of Web3
Wow, this is really good,

I just tried it on some very obscure area of research I was enrolled during my master's and the summary it gave was quite on point.
Large companies don't make engineering decisions based on the most elegant systems or best performance. They prioritize business needs to maximize revenue and growth. Having 1000 RPC calls that take several seconds might be horrible design, but if there are other things to work on that will increase revenue or growth, then it's totally fine to leave it.

Their investment/"investment" is still in relation to bitcoin. It doesn't seem entirely incongruous to call it "investing in bitcoin".

If I buy some shares in a company that does things with [X], I think it makes sense to say that by doing so I'm "investing in [X]", even if I don't e.g. have the necessary license needed to directly own any [X].

You could capture the gains of the S&P500 with less time in the market with that volatility. If you don't think the volatility is something you're interested in managing in your portfolio, then say that. I just can't wrap my head around this buy and forget attitude.

Exactly, it's not. Not every biological woman can conceive, so I don't know why <1% of trans people would invalidate the results of some survey.

Some people believe that trans rights mean that suddenly everyone will try to claim they're "actually" men or women without any real skin in the game. I find this line of reasoning, no matter what your opinions about biological vs. other types of gender or about pronouns are (personally, I find pronouns besides he, she or they to be slightly ridiculous), to be akin to "gay rights mean people are going to stop having children" types of arguments. It's just not such a big deal that it's worth starting a culture war over IMHO.
>The heart of GOFAI is searching – of trees and, more generally, graphs.

and because of this GOFAI, unlike the title suggests, and algorithmic solutions will continue to underpin a huge chunk of applications that don't fall in any 'natural' or generative domain.

"While some mathematical skills and concepts build off each other, the forced construct of linear teaching
reinforces objectivity. A prime example is how matrices is considered a precalculus standard, even though the
only math skill needed as a prerequisite is arithmetic. This is highly detrimental to students because they are
systematically deprived of knowledge they could access due to false constructs. Math teachers have internalized
the sequences that have been predetermined by standards and textbooks, rather than sequencing learning based
on (pre)requisite knowledge. In general, teachers teach math like a ladder rather than a web."
