I'm not sure there is much difference between this and a sharpshooter. They are both using deadly force to stop a deadly threat. Both involve a human being pulling a trigger.

Automated killing would be beyond the pale. Now THAT is the stuff of dystopian nightmares like Psycho Pass and Fahrenheit 451.

Where did you hear about it?
"I feel disappointed, jealous." Perhaps this is why you don't understand what being extraordinary is all about. I didn't get where I was by feeling sorry for myself. I spent the time and energy learning where I failed and remediating that failure. That is really what has become the definition of extraordinary. Continuing on when the average person quits.

The author touches on this when she says, "Extraordinary should not be the end goal." This is very true. The goal is the satisfaction of a job well done.

By adding up enough repeats of the satisfactions of a job well done you will find yourself extraordinary at something. If you complete a task and you don't get that satisfaction of a job well done then re-evaluate the process and fix it for the future.

I only have 25 years of experience at enjoying the satisfaction of a job well done. Look for extraordinary people in your life and ask them how they started and what made them better at what makes them extraordinary.

Remember: Keep up the good work.

I wonder how this relates to the "mystical realm" - the yogic concept that a certain "life-force" (prana / chi) exists that coordinates, at a higher level, the behavior of cells.

That never happens. I mean that always happens. Because we are cultured, democratically minded Americans, we are immune from the human passions that other people suffer from, that desire to take the other person's goodies.
That's why there's a caveat "when you mean undo". If the action CAN'T be undone because of it's very nature, this advice doesn't apply.
Wine is not an emulator, therefore if your definition of an emulator brands Wine as an emulator, your definition is wrong. :)

It’s well earned. Steam is BS-free relative to the others on your list. Steam could degrade significantly in quality and customer satisfaction and still handily beat that lot.
And yet, society advances as people holding backward views die off (not actually from people changing their minds). Has always been that way and always will be. If people lived twice as long you could imagine that inequality would be at least twice as bad and that society’s views would evolve slower than they do today.
I'm the same, as a 30-something. Steam is so much better and Gabe has fostered my undying loyalty. He'd have to shoot my dog to stop me using Steam.
Over 60s are generally retired. With little money to do things. Many end up with mobility issues. Watching tv is free and doesn’t require moving.
I think it's still an open question about how many customer deposits there were (obviously not zero).

People keep thinking of FTX as though it were a classic Bitcoin exchange. It wasn't.

In a classic bitcoin exchange, Alice deposits Bitcoin, Bob deposits dollars. They trade on the market. The amount of assets (dollars+bitcoin) in customer balances stays constant, minus a small amount of each that go to the exchange as fees with each trade. So the only way that the exchange can fail to cover withdraws is if they lose them to embezzlement, gambling, data loss, or getting "hacked".

FTX was primarily a shitcoin casino, a bucket shop, offering high leveraged 'futures' products.

From what I've seen: On FTX Bob could deposit dollars, purchase "bitcoin" with 100x leverage, and end up with a positive bitcoin balance all without anyone ever having deposited bitcoin remotely similar in value to Bob's deposits, potentially without anyone ever having deposited any Bitcoin at all.

These sorts of nutty results are all the more possible with crazy volatile and illiquid rando-tokens, especially when some traders weren't subject to automated risk management.

So when its claimed that FTX has 8 billion in liabilities to customers this doesn't necessarily mean that a full 8 billion in dollars of actual assets were ever in their possession and had vanished. It could be that customers deposited a billion in assets made trades where they received paper assets, and eventually after embezzling only a modest billion dollars FTX is left insolvent and with records reflecting 8 billion in liabilities.
Meta Trained an AI on 48M Science Papers. It Was Shut Down After 2 Days
Strongly agree with all of that. When I hear people complain online about all the different streaming services, I assume they're very young and didn't have to suffer through "appointment viewing" and "channel flipping" and watching "whatever's on". And a third of it all was commercials.

The fact that many people still watch TV that way baffles me.
Okay that makes sense. But that seems like a different objection. Re-reading the post by /u/wellthatsawrap1, it looks like maybe the implicit claim there is that a RINO is not a Republican? In other words, the claim seems to be that a "Republican" is only someone Trump approves of? Frankly that's kind of insane.
> occurred 550 million years ago, during the Ediacaran period. [..]

> Although unclear whether this represents a true “mass extinction,” the percentage of organisms lost is similar to these other events, including the current, ongoing one.

> The researchers believe environmental changes are to blame for the loss of approximately 80% of all Ediacaran creatures, which were the first complex, multicellular life forms on the planet.

Pretty bad, but a very old extinction, and order of magnitude older than the dinosaurs' extinction.
Seriously, 5MWe is what, a few thousand homes? Low thousand if you need to plug in local commons and you’ve got lots of EVs around maybe.

Alongside a few MWt to shed into district heating, that seems pretty nice in a distributed grid context.

> Just like wind turbines, a typical design includes more than one.

Wind farms are a thing because location is an issue, and there’s a lot of nimby-ism, so if you can plop down turbines you plop down a bunch.

Though I guess nimby would also affect SMRs, location is way less of an issue, if you have space for a farm you might as well use a classical nuclear plant.

Plus the capacity factor of nukes is way higher than turbines. Assuming SMRs follow the nuclear norm you don’t need to overbuild to compensate.
1) Why enrich the CEO of a competitor car company?

The new source doesn't show the list of names... maybe it's buried in the PDF if one is willing to download a whole PDF just to glance at the list.

That feels like a step backwards to me.
I am 32 and don’t have kids, so I have more spare time luckily — but the exhaustion for me was originally low iron (unlikely unless you have a vegan diet too), and low B12 (which is surprisingly common in people on non-vegan diets too!). Supplementing iron and drinking more (fortified, here in Aus) soy milk solved the exhaustion for me: if you haven’t had a blood test in a while to check some levels it might be worth looking into

I disagree that consuming media and participating online is not "interacting with the world". I spend a lot of my free time reading Wikipedia, watching YouTube, and playing games. This content comes from "the world". At my job I sit in front of a computer and interact with people via text and voice call. This is interacting with "the world".

I don't understand why we fetishize in-person interaction as being "the world" and virtual interaction as "not the world".

What about reading books? Would you criticize someone for reading too many books? Does that person not have a "point in living" in your opinion?

In my opinion, this is a true Scotsman fallacy. And the bias is due to nostalgia.
Doesn't praising people create the same issue?

It's easy for those with the loudest microphone to promote the work of the researchers they like or are connected to, or research that confirms their preexisting beliefs. This risks making the field insular by excluding new voices with new perspectives and without such preexisting interpersonal ties.

I think that you need criticism to be able to overcome this issue: to allow disinterested parties to push back on praise given by biased sources, and to ensure that current researchers aren't always elevated above newer ones.
Yes, also anyone spending money with a company and can afford not to, expects to be treated like a king. They expect a real person to pick up the phone and kiss their ass.

Wait until the kids are old enough to take care of themselves at home. Once they're about 12, they should be more than capable of helping with housework a bit, taking care of their own affairs, and even going alone to the park with their friends.
I think in almost every real world scenario, the loop only runs once. I don't think it adds a huge amount of complexity to the layout algo - you still need to code in the loop body, even if you don't actually loop. That said - React Native only does two passes, and nobody seems to have noticed/complained.

You can do some neat things with the looping behaviour - like have a toolbar with some icons on the left and the right hand sides and a title centred in the toolbar - but then have the title move off centre as soon as the icons from either side touch it.
I'm sure GOG would care if they had more resources. Valve's push into Linux is because Microsoft is making a big push towards there being a single walled garden store: Microsoft's. Valve is doing this ultimately to benefit themselves. That's of course the case with GOG too, but GOG has very little money to put into any sort of Linux push so they have to lean on Valve's investments.

I think the more relevant number is the number of ICs (around 2000, according to TFA). 12 build engineers (I don't know where you got 6 from) for 2000 ICs doesn't seem large at all to me; it's actually less than I would have expected.
I'd be curious to know what it would take in terms of telescope size to directly image a nearby exoplanet.
At Rose-Hulman they had a PDP-11/70 running RSTS that they had modified to have more than 128 terminals connected to. It's my understanding that it had 128K of RAM, and 144 terminals at one point circa 1982.
> With 4 concurrent requests, NGINX was able to run 100 calls/second, with a 90%-ile latency of 48ms. Under the same conditions, Caddy ran 400 calls/second, with a 90%-ile latency of 16ms.

If you are processing only hundreds of queries a second, then both are either seriously misconfigured, or the bottleneck is elsewhere.
That's actually quite good and impressive. I haven't realized that.
Did you reply to the wrong comment? I said Twitter, not the internet.
I only prefer paper for math and layout.

Layout and sketching is obvious why. For math it's the bit of extra "ram" you gain from effortlessly jotting something down and building visual helpers.

How do you think they got to where they are? by not believing and not working hard? Valve has been working at what they do for longer than some people commenting here have been alive. Steam has been around for 19 years.

Do you believe developers should be able to use something a company has spent the last 19 years investing in and building... for free or cheap? Is there a competitor in the market that would bring them as much exposure while not charging as much? The only thing I can think of are platforms like EGS, where they basically pay people to sell their games on there, so they can grow the platform.

I haven't done the math myself, but I'm guessing indie developers would be hard pressed to make the same money without using Steam as they do using Steam, even with the "fleecing" you're talking about.
They were not building/re-inventing Bazel (its Open Source from Google); they were just adopting it and ensuring the migration for the rest of the company (which is no small feat, since it affects all other developers in the company).
You're describing fraud, which is an issue orthogonal from standards compliance.

If you're worried about people surreptitiously breaking the law then it doesn't matter what the law is because those people are breaking it regardless.
I like how you had to clarify that your parents hate Trump because other commenters immediately assumed they liked him, even though 90% of attention Trump gets is from people who dedicate most of their headspace to hating him.

I guess you can find excuses to defend anyone, including bullies. I mean, most bullies were bullied and abused themselves, so there's that. What's the excuse for the other points raised by the OP though? + a bunch of other stuff such as firing people and announcing it on Twitter over people disagreeing on Twitter with him?

I find amusing all the mental gymnastics Musk followers are doing these days. It does seem like a personality cult.

I used to look up to him, read one of his biographies, etc; Plenty to admire from his achievements, but his most recent toxic behaviour and shitty management style has really changed that.

I don't think that everything "non-productive" is "wasting time", but wasting time is by definition not productive.

It's the difference between sleeping so you can be awake and putting yourself into a dreamless coma because you can't think of anything better to do. Watching TV (and not having it play in the background while you're doing something else) is the equivalent of a coma.
> Looking back, I feel like this has been among the most productive 2 years of my career. This was facilitated precisely because of the work/life balance afforded by the “peak-Kumbaya” Twitter culture, and the psychological safety

I feel like the most productive I’ve been is

1. Psychological safety and trust in engineering to lead

2. Coworkers that intrinsically care about their work

3. Coworkers that are fantastic people

4. Meaningful work

The top down, hard ass culture of Elon etc, basically flips the work to being extrinsically motivated based on fear. If the goal is engineering excellence, it just doesn’t work. A lot of people shut down and won’t take any risks or innovate in that situation. Or they leave.

There may be other goals of course, but there’s a valuable reason tech companies have been selective in hiring and generous in trust.
There are stories of adult children deprogramming their parents / in-laws by blocking these sites via their routers [0], and within a few weeks they're able to see their parents' views and demeanor visibly change for the positive [1].

The post from BestOfRedditorUpdates [1] for example shows the progression, basically the same as the 5 stages of grief, or withdrawal from a drug habit. First they get angry, then they try to find ways around it, then they accept that they can't and start doing something else.

The truth is most people don't really go to these sites out of choice, they do it out of habit. If you can alter the habit, you can stop them from consuming such content. It's no different than stopping any other habit, like (if you're a smoker or alcoholic) not going to places where people smoke for example.

You can also replace the habit with something else; like smokers chewing nicotine gum instead of smoking, or like those trying to lose weight going for a walk instead of sitting at home and cracking open a cold one after a long day of work, this person's aunt replaced it with BTS [2].

Will it? Will there be companies that make optical disk readers? Because it isn't enough to just say "well, they could read it." Chronically underfunded archivists need to be able to do it.
If someone deserves to be called an “idiot” in regards to this story, it’s the headline writer. The article quoted extensively from an anonymous Twitter engineer, and there was nothing from this person making predictions about the “coming weeks”.

I guess the person does think it’s inevitable for the service to continuously degrade over time, and any time in the future is technically included in the “coming weeks”. So, well done headline writer, grab those clicks.
What's your take on grid? I still can't quite grok the algorithm - but from your article, your proposal seems really similar to what's available with grid.

Grid does suffer from not being able to set min/max track sizes - like have a sidebar be say 20% of the width, but clamped between 200px and 300px
But that’s not the reason why, chaos is, though I imagine it didn’t give them pause. We all can speculate about what comes next. My guess is Elon saying he “inherited a mess” much more “broken” than he could have imagined. I also notice bots aren’t much part of the conversation any longer.
it’s a thread on an article about moving away from warp. I have a handful of warp services currently and we’re actively moving those services away from warp for other reasons. I’m not going to try to convince everyone at my org to stay on warp, it has the issues this article mentions.

My argument is not that it’s impossible, it’s that the whole value proposition of these frameworks is that they make you jump through fewer hoops than building on top of Hyper yourself, but it looks like a lot of the problems that I’ve encountered with Rocket are being replicated with Axum. There’s a very good chance we -will- move our services to Axum, I’m just not confident that this is really stable ground.

As for the specific example, I think you’re missing the forest through the trees. I used that specific example because it’s in the article and it’s in Axum’s readme, so it’s safe to assume that people discussing the article would be familiar with that case.
These aren't all inherently bad things when consumed in moderation, and over the course of a lifetime. Sometimes we just need those quick hits of artificially-induced dopamine to give us the drive to push through the responsibilities and pressures of adult life.

The problem isn't that the content is itself dangerous, it's that it's being mainlined by [adults and children alike]. Absolutely nothing in life is safe to consume this way-- the sort of drugs that otherwise provide these effects are classified as class-II controlled substances.
