A scary thought: losing a war against Ukraine might be shameful. Losing one against NATO much less - so if you can't win against Ukraine, then escalate until you're defeated by NATO.
I wonder if we could add "record scratch noise" into the dead metaphors category, or if we'd need to make a new category for audio relics instead of written ones.

I don't think it's enough to say they should ask, or they their SLA technically allows it. The letter of the license might allow it but the spirit seems to say that copilot should also be free to use. If they weren't charging for it I don't think we'd see the same backlash. I've heard it described as "intellectual property laundering" and I think that's pretty fair
> I've never stated commodity money should replace all other form of exchange. In fact per above, you list a system where both credit and commodity money exist in parallel with one another.

Perhaps I wasn't clear, but the phenomenon I'm describing is one in which the credit market grows to become more important than the metallic market and eventually destroys it, because in order for the bank trying to calm the crisis to credibly maintain that discount window open, it will need the power to create money in unlimited amounts (not actually to create it, but to convince investors that it can create it).

So what happens is that when credit markets are in their early stages, they go through violent disruptions every few decades that get more and more intense as the credit markets grow, and at some point, the survival of the economy as a whole is at risk, and sometime before that happens the government says "enough. We need an elastic money supply that can guarantee that bills remain discounted no matter what. We have to put an end to the cascading failures due to panics/manias in the credit market." That's when the metallic market is replaced with fiat.

So while you often hear how every fiat currency fails, you don't often hear how every metallic currency is replaced by fiat, and I'm trying to describe this process -- that functioning currency markets inevitably give rise to credit markets, and it's the credit markets that are required for capital investment and economic growth, not the currency markets. Thus the need for stable credit markets is inevitably what drives the abandonment of metallic or any other kind of inelastic money -- of which bitcoin is an example.

This is not to say that inelastic goods can't survive as a tradeables. Stamps even survive as tradeables. So do paintings. But they don't survive as currencies in an industrial economy that requires a large, steady flow of capital investment.

I would assume that it's not due to HR choosing to take them offline, but because that's the interval you pay for them on the platform that was scraped.
I use the staging area to allow me to more easily break larger changes into smaller commits. I am usually all over the place while writing/refactoring code and making commits as I go along doesn't work well.

How does sapling let me take a long list of commits and break them into larger but more manageable chunks?

git add -p allows me to add chunks easily and create commits, git commit --fixup allows me to mark a commit as fixing a previous commit, and with git rebase -i --autosquash I get to easily take those fixup commits and meld them into the previous commits.

Also reviewing a stack of patches is annoying in many cases as I care more about the end result vs each individual commit. But that may just be my experience talking in open source where I am working on smaller but better well defined projects vs a large mono-repo where there may be a lot of changes across many disparate parts of the code base that make it difficult to look at the "whole" vs a patch that is more localized.

FTX’s Collapse Casts a Pall on a Philanthropy Movement

Yes you can allocate that sparsely. So? If you're doing a binary search, you have to touch those pages so the sparseness is pretty irrelevant. Try doing a binary search over a memory space like that and see where you get.

Just to be clear, even if a PTE entry was just 1 pointer long (it's not), covering 63 bits of address space with 1 GiB PTEs would require >73 GiB just for the page tables. And those page tables ARE getting materialized if you're doing a binary search over that much data.

I'm not as imaginative in you to see a world in which you can sparsely map in 2^63 elements (9 exabytes if 1 byte per element) on one CPU and then the problem you're solving is a binary search through that data which is going to cause about log(n) to be mapped in to satisfy the search. 1 exabyte is probably the amount of RAM that Google has collectively worldwide. Now sure, maybe you're talking about mapping files on disk but again. 1 exabyte is a shit ton. It's probably several clusters worth of machines for storage. And even with 1 GiB pages, you're talking about 1 billion PTEs total and each lookup is going to need to materialize ~9 PTEs to search. And all of that is again a moot point because no CPU like that exists or will exist any time soon.
A valid point, but my concern still stands. We should be able to capture any missiles coming in.

My CAD class was awesome, run by an engineering dude in his 40s who's sole interest was spending as much district funding as possible. By the time I graduated, he had surrounded himself with a room of 20x Quadro/i7 machines and a half-dozen 3D printers. It makes me happy to imagine how much joy that brings him and his current students these days.

Unfortunately the computer science class is no longer running at the school I attended. Between the low demand for the class and the difficulty of teaching programming on an iPad, they decided to pull the plug and focus on providing other STEM classes. Truly a tragedy since I look back on that class so fondly, but I guess the next generation of software developers will need to be a bit more self-motivated.
It's incredibly easy to do (caveat - at least if you're familiar with software dev already).

Most thermostats are literally just digital thermometers that control a relay that turns the furnace/ac on and off.

A simple arduino (or much cheaper IC) can easily do the same thing if you wire it in.

And then on the software side... there's several large, open-source projects that exist in this space and provide nice api tooling for interacting with those devices. Things like:

OpenHab: https://www.openhab.org/

HomeAssistant: https://www.home-assistant.io/

HomeBridge: https://homebridge.io/

etc...

Even Alexa has basically drop-in self hosted alternatives like Mycroft: https://mycroft.ai/ or ADA/Almomd (now Genie) https://genie.stanford.edu/

It's not only true - I strongly suspect you can do it for much less than 50 bucks if you don't need the physical thermostat to have buttons/screens.

Except in this case there's a far simpler explanation floating around:

1. Alameda Research experienced some losses and needed capital injection

2. In a transaction that was probably not at arms-length and possibly fraudulent, they borrowed money from FTX by putting FTT and other tokens as collateral

3. The tokens taken as collateral crashed in value, which caused FTX to be unable to meet their liabilities
Question: Why is the galactica language model so dangerous?

There are various thinkpads laptops, bluetooth keyboards, USB keyboards all from Lenovo so I can mix and match.

There are also non Lenovo keyboard makers following the same layout like the Tex Shinobi.

To me, it seems better than the alternatives of having different layouts and maintaining different set of shortcuts.
From what I hear, more experienced contractors will often inflate their hours instead of charging more per hour.

Apparently people will happily pay $100/hr for 3 hours of work, but not $300/hr for 1 of work from a more experienced person.
This would break the workflow of using the staging area to break a larger change into smaller commits.

At this point, it would be better for all those involved [1] if the corporate entity called Activision-Blizzard was burnt to the ground and a new games company was built in its stead, with actually competent managers [2], a unionized labor force and actually enforced zero-tolerance policies on abuse of all kinds among some other nice-to-haves.

[1]: Obviously not Kotick and the rest of the scum, who not only tolerated but even engaged in the "alleged" instances of all manners of abuse for years. I actually wouldn't mind if they provided themselves as kindling on that corporate bonfire after having their golden parachutes cut away to pay damages/"reparations" to their victims.

[2]: ie. with at least a background in games development, not how to best financially screw their workers.
Not to subtract from your point at all, but newer versions of Git allow you to use `--staged` as a synonym for `--cached`. That this is the default behaviour still makes no sense, but at least the name does.
Yeah sorry, I meant this of course in the context of a tech organization.

As a CTO you will spend time preparing board meetings, OKR discussions, be part of strategy offsites, handle audits, have stakeholder meetings (CPO, COO, HR), have a part in Allhands, talk to vendors and business partners and of course handle all internal crisises that are escalated to you.

It's definitely a more messy and political work environment that you should take into account when leaving the IC track.

End-User Programming for the Web (2005) [pdf]
People used to love the relative calm of the small PHP (and Perl) forums. For some of us in the early internet the big forums were toxic place to generally be avoided. You can have a wonderful time on a tiny instance that only federates with mostly other tiny instances and never sees the biggest instances.

Mastodon doesn't need to be Twitter where you "must" follow celebrities of any sort or streamers/podcasters/YouTubers/Influencers. People claiming that Mastodon is terrible because it isn't focused solely on massive instances with maximal "reach" are missing the point: that is a *feature* and not a bug. People have forgotten the early days of Twitter when it was mostly about following real life friends, or conference acquaintances. There's a usefulness to quieter, stiller social media. It's great to have tiny instances with tiny follow streams.
there are easter eggs too...
If they made the concession that it was a derived work, would it even be able to license it as (A)GPL? I imagine it's scanning repos that have conflicting licenses. Off the top of my head, I remember ZFS's license not being considered compatible with GPL (hence it not being included by default by most Linux distros), but I'm sure there must be others.
Instead of `git add -p`, you would use `sl commit -i` (whose interface I much prefer). To amend into a previous commit, I prefer to switch to it and then just use `sl amend` (+ `sl restack` if necessary), but you can also use `sl fold` IIRC. Instead of `git rebase -i`, you can use `sl histedit` (not a direct replacement for autosquashing, but worth mentioning).

To split a single commit, you can use `sl split`, which is quite difficult in Git. (I miss that feature in Git quite a lot.) You can also use the `sl absorb` command to automagically merge local changes into the previous patches where they seem to belong (roughly speaking, commute changes backwards until they would cause a merge conflict, but it's a little smarter about avoiding certain merge conflicts).
All of that history is relevant, and contrary to your assumptions about my political beliefs I don't disagree with any of that. In fact I'd say it goes back further than that. Perhaps even to WWI when actual leftist movements in the US (actual socialism, not the center-right but socially liberal thing that we consider "leftist" today).

https://truthout.org/articles/absence-of-universal-health-ca...

Or if you want to take it even further back than that, one could even argue that the American version of Christianity that got entangled in capitalism was also responsible:

It's actually not a specific narrative or the only cause of blame, it's actually just one facet of the larger narrative you're describing. In the recent history of the entrentched political power and wealth hoarding of Silicon Valley, the last decade is very relevant to our current situation. The Obama administration let many mergers and acqusitions happen that we today recognize were monopolistic and anticompetitive. They were mainly allowed to take place because of the deregulation and forces of inequality you mention, but also because of the corrupt relationships that the Obama administration had with many key SV people, especially Google. The main thing that changed is that the concept of "Big Tech" became politically unpopular because we're now paying the price for those regulatory failures.

It's the same forces at work that allowed SBF's crypto scamming to fester because of their coziness with the crypto industry while they chased fundraising dollars.

https://www.opensecrets.org/news/2022/06/crypto-industry-exe...

It goes without saying that the Republicans are even more guilty of this type of corruption, just with different people writing the checks. I'll admit that I feel more compelled to call out the democrats for this type of behavior, not only because it's such a letdown for me personally but also because if we expect that democrats are suddenly going to do an about-face on regulatory policy from just one administration ago, with many of the same players involved now as then, accountability is necessary.

It sounds like we actually agree on a lot more than you might assume, but just like you're pointing out with there being a larger narrative, this is a systemic issue that transcends partisanship.

Nowadays coal companies promote nukes, because a new nuke started means at least a decade of continued coal sales.

They know coal is doomed, so the best they can do is put off the inevitable. Solar, wind, or tidal would start displacing coal almost immediately. The nuke, furthermore, costs so much it eats budget that could have been spent on displacing much more coal than the nuke will when it is finally turned on.

Perhaps check out Matter[1] or Readwise[2]? I haven't actually used either myself (Matter requires an iOS device, though once installed you can also use a web app; Readwise was in private beta when I was first looking at it, but I think is opening up access now/soon). But they look nice. I used Feedbin[3] previously but found the mobile web interface a bit frustrating (I kept accidentally swiping things while trying to scroll).

[and the self-promo bit] I've also made one called Yakread[4], however it is quite unusual and won't be for everyone. Re: your requirements: it does 1 (via integration with pocket/instapaper) and 3 (it's a responsive website at least, no native app) but not 2 /exactly/. It has a home feed which is driven by a ranking algorithm, which is intended to solve the "too many newsletters/bookmarks clogging up your reading" problem, but might be a heavier solution than what you're looking for.

It makes sense if you are someone who sold cars with a $10K "autopilot" add-on claiming that they would eventually be capable of "full self driving" for a decade only to realize that it's not feasible from a technological standpoint (at least not before most of those cars arrive at a junkyard [1]) AND the global supply chain suddenly shits the bed - jacking up the price of parts (especially electronics).

At that point, you can either (A) stop selling models that you actually make a profit from and risk your top spot on Forbe's billionaires list or (B) claim that "full self driving" really meant "driver assistance" this whole time [2] and cut whatever hardware isn't absolutely necessary to meet your lowered standard.

Elon chose option B - I suspect through some mix of self-delusion about the capabilities of automated statistics and knowing that he can continue to push the deadline for "full self driving" back another decade and pivot after his competitors have pushed the cost of radar/LIDAR down far enough.

> The competition is renewables.

When those regulations were introduced, the only renewables were hydro. And nobody was worried about the tiny amounts of radiations coming from coal plants, it was the soot that killed people.

Still, the "green" movement in Europe have been fighting nuclear power since at least the 80s, usually with more fervor than they've been fighting fossil fuels. The nuclear scare must have been easy to sell (and so an easy source of contributions), especially in the years after Chernobyl. With catastrophic effects both for the local environment and the climate.

Utopianists may indeed see nuclear as a threat to their dream of a perfect world. To me, nuclear is simply one of several energy sources with very low impact to the environment and climate, one that we _could_ have elected to produce at a low price. And still can.
