- I walk 30 minutes a day before work.

- I do 100 pushups a day. Day 39 of doing so. 25 x 4 within 10 minutes or so. I started the year at 5 pushups after a long hiatus.

I can see the changes to my physique that come from the pushups and am starting a full workout routine to augment the pushups as a result.

We can't have rules that aren't governed by nationality, because the US basically only sees nationality. TikTok is called "an issue" not because of what it does, why it does it or how it does it. It is called that because of who is doing it. As such, we can expect all this racism couched in careful political language to continue and keep continuing.

There could also be a bias here.

Maybe cognition that develops in a cosmos and is able to reason about cosmoi is more likely to develop models of cosmoi that make their/its own cosmos very typical.

Call me whatever you want, but Trump had a LOT of things right. He was just massively inarticulate and his persona made it easy for people to disagree with him. But yeah, he tried to shut it down and the democrats just reverted everything just to say they reverted something trump did.

This sort of activism, if it was that, is really not a good thing. Not because animals don't deserve to be free but because usually these animals can destroy the local ecosystems.

I remember one time people tried to free rat labs from the immunology lab at my university, not only these rats are not capable of surviving in the wild but also they actually carry lots of dangerous genes and diseases that should absolutely not be out there in the wild, because, well that's exactly what is being researched.

There's definitely space for bigger conversations but we should be much more careful with the way we do activism.
They are rare, but the do happen. When they do they tend to be spontaneous riots and not between organized groups of fans. The famous $.10 beer night riot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Cent_Beer_Night

It might help that most beer sold in US stadiums tends to be mass produced beer with low alcohol content (Coors Light is only %4.2). Still, it's nice to have something that's not a heavy beer in the summer.
I have one as well. What's your killer feature?

Mine is that it is invite-only, and if you break the rules, the person that invited you and everybody else they have invited gets booted from the platform. Apart from that, the only other rule is don't be illegal, don't spam, and post whatever the hell you want.

I don't mean it to replace Twitter. It's more like a social experiment. If there are permanent social consequences to being twats, what would a social network be like? Also, given this major risk, you'd only invite people you really know or trust.

I'm still ironing out the details of this thing. We'll see if I'll ever get to build it.
Advertisers can buy ads anywhere. Twitter has always had the least amount of bargaining power of all the ad-driven social networks.

It was up to Musk to assure Twitter's biggest revenue sources that he would lead with a steady hand. He hasn't done anything except publicly revel in firing people, then ignore the issue of trolls using his $8/mo. feature to impersonate corporate brands.

Digital ad campaigns have budgets, and they can be shifted around platforms without much hassle. The money will be shifted to platforms that actually listen to what advertisers are asking for, which is basic brand safety.
I would love to know. Most other central banks are raising rates and tightening policy, especially the US which probably affects the Japanese currency the most.

From my naive view, the BoJ can't keep depressing rates without leading to huge currency weakening and consequently the cost of imported goods can create a lot of inflation.

Inflation like that can quickly go out of control so imo it won't be long until they start seeing 10+% or higher like some other places.
Fortunately, getting LVT effective is just a change of a rate how much you charge for exclusive land use. The legal framework is already set up for it in many countries, so no exchtra change needed, let alone changing the 'economic fabric'. Land based taxes were used as the primary tax mechanisn in the past, going back to ancient times, for their simplicity.

The point with LVT and UBI is that you need LVT to make UBI not blow up. But once you have LVT in place you'd realise there is actually no need for UBI, because the original underlying problem - worker's disposable income being sucked away by monopolies - is suddenly gone. Under LVT the government sucks away the money from landlords, not landlords sucking it away from workers. The government can then decide to give it back to people (originally called a citizens' dividend) or reinvest into infrastructure.

The kernel already does something similar every few years by upgrading to a new edition of C or version of gcc.

This happens rarely and is not considered especially burdensome.
Currently it is believed that Rust editions would be handled similarly and be no more burdensome.
I feel like you agree with me. All these things that the kernel needs from rust will slowly be stabilized over the next few years. The features will land in future editions of rust. Upgrading to those new editions will involve breaking changes.

I've read twice as much this year as previous years.

I joined a book club back in January that meets bi-weekly. I really enjoy it and met some friends that I now see occasionally outside of our meetings.
Did you post the wrong link? It’s basically all about China’s trade protectionism and US attempts at stopping it.
Boohoo, can't drink and annoy others?
The difference is that Rust is safe by default. The `unsafe` keyword serves as documentation that the code it applies to should be reviewed extra carefully for soundness. C++ on the other hand is unsafe by default, and all code must be reviewed extra carefully to verify soundness. Unless of course you wrote linters to prevent anyone from using constructs that can possibly be used unsafely without a manual “I know what I’m doing” override, but I think despite all the recent progress in static analysis this still isn’t possible
Advertisers who see even better click-through rates per dollar spend.
That makes no sense to me either. In my book, tests in a software project are largely responsible to check that desired functionality exists, most often to stop later changes from breaking functionality. For example, if you're in the process of moving the "user_email" from the video entity to an embedded user entity, a couple of useful tests could ensure that the email appears in the UI regardless if it's in `video.user_email` or in `video.user.email`.

Though, interestingly enough, I have built a test that could have caught similar problems back when we switched databases from mysql to postgresql. It would fire up a mysql based database with an integration test dump, extract and transform the data with an internal tool similar to pgloader, push it into a postgres in a container. After all of that, it would run the integration tests of our app against both databases and flag if the tests failed differently on both databases. And we have similar tests for our automated backup restores.

But that's quite far away from a unit test of a frontend application. At least I think so.
You have a point, but do remember that a properly kitted MP5 can give an untrained eye the impression of an assault rifle.

Generally, I assume the public thinks that anything physically bigger than a pistol and smaller than a rifle is an "assault rifle".
Figures. Right after I moved.
Qatar building stadiums at the cost of 6500 workers lives seems pale in comparison.
This probably sounds absurd, but I wake up at 4:30 AM to start my day every day and I used to be convinced I could only really be effective after waking up at 9 AM.

The US has 258 million adults. If you give everyone $1000 a month that's $3.1 trillion a year.

The whole budget for the department of defense is about $700 billion a year.

> Will not the increased productivity of the population make up for any possible cost?

I don't know, but it doesn't seem like a given that UBI would increase productivity to that extent (or that it increases productivity at all).

Keep in mind he actually spent around half that. There were significant loans and other investments contributing.

He needs more than lobbying, he needs to sway an election. But there were obviously other reasons as well, he probably thinks a hive mind is cool to own and he could finally build his everything app X, etc.. it's just the orbital weapons program is near the top of that list as he thinks it's necessary to save humanity from itself. From free-wheeling philosophy discussions, he seems to think this SkyNet system is actually a kind of Roko's Basilisk.
Yup, not everyone needs a CDN.
Version control is probably the easiest thing to self host for both individuals and enterprises, but that's still very different from Copilot. A Git service provider will have access only to what I choose to push, but Copilot gets access to what I'm TYPING. It's scary, at least for me.

> DeepL was genuinely good for English/French. I can't speak to other language pairs.

I use it whenever I need to write any long-form English->Swedish - it simply cuts out the labor of thinking about grammar and spelling, and even handles idiomatic phrases perfectly. Also works perfectly in the other direction.

Also great with English->Spanish and the reverse.

I even used it to translate some official documents from Spanish into both English and Swedish for the tax authorities in both countries - no-one thought the translated documents seemed unprofessional, in any way, or questioned any of the complex legal terminology.

I barely try Google translate anymore. A couple of times when I've thought the DeepL translation was slightly 'off', I've tried Google and the result is usually comical garbage.
The US can probably replace TikTok with something "homegrown" that's sufficiently like TikTok that people will be happy to use it once it becomes widely adopted. What could replace Facebook, TikTok etc in Europe? Do we just shut down the internet because it's run by third parties who don't have our best interests at heart?
Thanks, never heard that, I didn't realize Miles Davis' version was so close to the original! e.g. Finland 1987 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-eaTwj6NTzU
When I tried Rust I came from Python and it was clearly too much for me to comprehend but after 2 years of C programming and 1 year of C++ programming, the problem Rust tries to solve make a lot more sense and I know understand the problem it's trying to solve. I am trying to use it again things like the borrow checker and Traits now make a lot of sense to me. I am also looking forward at not having to write C++ again. I haven't looked into C++17 and beyond though I must admit.
DeepL was great. They need to find their niche to compete with Google and others.

I hope they go after the enterprise translation market — too many websites rely on Google Translate, especially government websites.
You'd think there would be enough controls in place to not allow a couple hundred million to go missing, even if there was a "hack" on one employee's computer.
In the 1980s something a bit similar happened here in the same suburb where Microsoft is headquartered. Mink breeding was a hobby farming fad that didn’t pay off, so the farmers just released them.

This is very clever, I haven't seen such modal conventions for translation/substitution.

I think it's quite original to have the starting point of "I'm almost good enough to write on my own" in stead of starting in the usual spot of full-auto translation pipe dream.

I occasionally use deepl to write messages in languages which I'm rusty, but the-back-and-forth between editing my final output and selecting suggestions in not smooth.
There was enough pre-existing theory to suggest that vitamin D could be beneficial, and enough preliminary data suggesting that it was beneficial, that several government bodies and public health officials did strongly recommend mass vitamin D supplementation as a low risk intervention. Aside from that, some places already supplement milk with vitamin D because the effects of insufficiency have been known for many decades.

The language of uninformed skepticism really bothers me. Using terms like "quack science" and "crank". What does that do? It just heaps stigma into an already complex and messy conversation that really needs nuance, thoughtfulness and care.

For what? To distinguish yourself as smart? To me that kind of language just comes off as reductionist.

Unfortunately, the people who treat it like a game like SBF are the ones who make it in business and in politics. There's no need to have ethics if it's sufficient just to act like you do. Reminds me of Kyrsten Sinema who played the part until she had the job.

"Unicorn" status

Cologne-based translation start-up DeepL is worth a billion dollars

A German platform has been competing with Google Translate for some time. The young company has now completed a new round of financing and is regarded as the first "unicorn" from Cologne.

The online translation service DeepL from Cologne is valued at one billion dollars (960 million euros) after a new round of financing. This was reported on Thursday by the “Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger”, citing information from the company environment. DeepL is thus the first "unicorn" from the cathedral city.

The financiers of the financing round include the US investors IVP and Bessemer and the European venture capitalist Atomico, as "Business Insider" initially reported. It was initially unclear how many shares the companies would take over. DeepL did not respond to a request as of Thursday afternoon. A »unicorn« is a term used to describe start-ups with a market valuation of more than one billion US dollars.

DeepL started in Cologne in 2017 and now employs around 400 people. The website deepl.com with the translation service is one of the hundred most visited sites worldwide. DeepL says it has achieved exceptional machine translation quality with improvements in neural network mathematics and methodology, and is up to six times more accurate than other providers.

Even in independent tests, DeepL overshadowed established providers such as Google Translate. However, Google supports 133 languages, DeepL only 29. DeepL translates up to 5,000 characters and up to three documents per month for free - unlimited and other features require a subscription.

It has been widely recognized by nearly every technical person that understands blockchain that basically all crypto work going on in the last few years is a scam. Absolutely none of the purported benefits of crypto have come to be realized, and all the criticism and concerns have. In the early crypto era there was a lot of optimism, but I don't know anyone who seriously understands the area (including most of the biggest early enthusiasts) who hasn't been screaming that the entire space is a scam for years now.

So the revelation that SBF and FTX where engaged in fraud is only slightly interesting, since it was obviously that some degree of fraud had to be happening since the entire space is a scam.

I find it slightly confusing that the entire space hasn't completely collapse by now. But it's only a matter of time until it's announced that Crypto.com is engaged in some kind of fraud, that binance is engaged in fraud, and eventually that Coinbase is engaging in some type of fraud. It's not possible that this is not happening since the underlying product that all of these companies are focused on is fundamentally a ponzi scheme and this has been widely understood for many years now.
“Verified” was never meant to mean “blindly trust this person”, it was meant to mean “this is the (notable/famous) person it says it is, not an impersonator”.

Some people put too much weight on it, and I partly blame Twitter for making it a status game (e.g. using verified status to influence ranking algorithms) and for kneecapping the security feature by allowing display name changes without further verification.
I see news articles about US mass shootings on VoA- how is that US propaganda?
What do you mean by "trust", what's your threat model? Tailscale does way, way more than just facilitate key exchange. If tailscale.com goes down or rogue, you're still in a pickle even with PSKs; just because there's a Wireguard under the hood, doesn't mean you can swap an API endpoint and continue as if nothing happened.

Even with self-provided PSKs, you're going for an (IMHO) pretty poor trade-off; keys, certificates, etc should be regularly rotated, that's a chore that's best left automated. At that point, why not just set up Wireguard yourself?

If you have legitimate concerns, you should be using Headscale[1] (or even plain Wireguard) from day 1. Otherwise - personally I find the current threat model very reasonable, it's in no way worse than trusting any other VPN provider, and they're keeping a pretty big chunk of their code base open for auditing.

There is a third outcome which is a problem for SAFEs: the company has moderate-but-not-amazing growth and never raises an equity round. The founders are able to just keep growing it, paying themselves good salaries and eventually dividending out profits to themselves. Because SAFEs have no maturity date and have no rights to dividends, the investors get nothing and are basically stuck.
