I'm not European descended and could care less about what those people think of their home countries. My parents and family gave up ours when they came to this country and became citizens. I recommend those of European ancestry do so too.
> I searched myself (that I know that I have no alternate accounts). I recognize a few users that are interested in similar topics, and I discuss/upvote them many times. But I didn't recognize most of the user of the list.

It's based purely off frequency of the 200 most common English 1 word phrases, 2 word phrases, 3 word phrases, 1 character sequences, 2 character sequences, and 3 character sequences. Topic does not really have anything to do with it. If I had more time I probably would've done a smarter model that accounted for things like that.
it's a hacked channel that they renamed and changed its profile picture and unlisted all its previous videos.
Because you did it the most inefficient way.

This [0] comment is totally on point.

Also note what a consumer SSDs can be made even with a single flash chip. A more performant ones are made of bunch of chips internally (essentially a RAID0 with some magic) so they can do a parallel operations if the data resides on the different flash blocks. Still, if your thread is only doing one operation a time with blocks < flash rewrite block size you will hit the write amplification anyway.

I think if you do the same test but without a memory mapped file (ie let the OS and disk subsystem do their thing) you will get much more speed.

Hmmm, doesn't seem to work. But you have convinced me (and many others?) to search our alts consecutively and so now do know who has alts?
They could have done a jury nullification.
My bad. I’m better at programming.
LISP or Haskell IMO.

But those require a vastly different approach to learning than C like languages.
Later cases have held that it can be. Calling for imminent lawless actions isn't, but claiming a law is unjust and generally shouldn't be followed is usually protected speech.
You may have to turn on your VPN to appear to be coming from an EU country (or maybe even from inside Germany, since this Youtube channel, Strg-F [literally "Ctrl F", so 'find'] is part of `Funk`, which is a German public broadcast station) but I found this half-hour-long documentary on PFAS and PFOAs, more generally, to be quite informative:

https://youtu.be/ovCvW22ol3Y

The video covers Chemours, DuPont, etc. and how there's a town in the US where the rain and soil is poisonous due to PFOA production in the past (and still on-going: not PFAS but other deemed-safe-by-corporate-lawyers PFOAs). The man who they interviewed had pet dogs that he would let outside and the husky loved being outside in the rain. However, the dog developed sores / lesions on its back and then died. Turns out the groundwater and basically the whole environment around the PFOA factory is highly toxic.

The video also interviewed a worker at a PFOA plant in Germany who has (had?) thyroid cancer, I believe it was, and suffers from many disrupted endocrine system effects. (He worked inside a PFOA factory where sometimes the chemical vapor would condense on the ceiling and drip down on to the workers. Again, the ground water and soil there is not safe for human or animal consumption.)

They also cover / touch upon the lawsuits that farmers with grazing cattle (that died off) tried to bring against PFOA manufacturers like DuPont, Chemours, etc. Unfortunately, most of those farmers are now dead due to cancers of various sorts (from consuming PFOA-laden groundwater, the same water which they were giving to their animals which died by the hundreds a few decades ago).

They also touch upon how difficult it is to recycle PFOA-containing fabrics: they must be incinerated at much higher temperatures to render the compounds inert and safe for disposal in the way that regular trash is disposed of after incineration.
The challenge with living like this is that it eliminates two of the things most people rely on - a social support network, and modern infrastructure.

The second one is less of a problem than the first one. As another commenter here pointed out, you can get relatively close to exurb living standards technology-wise with careful equipment purchases (and deep pockets). However, you will be without anyone to help you if things go even a little bit south.

In a city, if you break your arm, you'll be inconvenienced and in pain for awhile, but you'll be fine eventually.

In the middle of the wilderness, a broken arm may be a death sentence.

We rely on other people too much for the "off grid lifestyle" to be viable for most of us.

There's been a lot of talk recently about effects of loneliness and the "loneliness epidemic". What a lot of this lacks, including this article, is a good and correct definition of loneliness. They seem to use the lazy & inaccurate definition of "spending significant time alone", which is very different to being lonely. There's a lot of people who are now able to spend more time alone than before and are happy with that.

Some of the academics I've heard discussing this define loneliness as when a person's social interactions are significantly less than their desired amount of social interactions. It's an individual's perception, not measured time. That seems like a much better measurement as it takes into account human variability.
Yes. My question is always "show me the shop where I can buy it". Never an answer ;)
Sticking myself in (I haven't ever had another account) my closest match (at 0.43) is the maintainer of an Open Source project which I have occasionally commented about. They are also British, as am I.

My guess is that as they commonly mention the project and I have on a number of occasions, that has formed the link. Plus maybe usage of common British terms, but that seems far less significant.

It's super interesting!

It would be good if there were more controls to filter the type of words and language that are used for the matching algorithm. So you could say exclude words not in the dictionary. I wander how that would effect my link with this other person.
Whoops haha. It is the best Tim Allen movie though.

Businesses choose to send this data to the ad platforms for their own benefits - better targeting, measurement, and ML optimization of their ad campaigns.

The businesses are legally accountable for the data they're sending and complying with privacy laws, but to most platforms it's a dumb pipe for whatever data the business chooses to send.
The point is that he didn't go to prison for giving an anti-war speech, it was also a call to action to break the law.
This isn't procrastination.

Procrastination is having a test due in a week and studying the night of.

This is the problem when you have too flexible of a routine that allows you to go from distraction to distraction where you forgot why you even sat down in front of the computer.

Some people might say that's ADHD, some might say laziness/lack of discipline. But the reality is, you allow yourself the freedom to do that. You don't have to.

Here's another way to think about it. For your "work" that must be done on the computer, is there any reason why other parts of your computer need to be enabled to do it? Could you turn off the internet to code? Turn on airplane mode to write? Disable web traffic to problematic sites to research? etc.

Give your device a job to be done. Don't let it be an "all in one" device or you'll constantly fall into the trap of getting nothing done. Set one intention and do not allow yourself to do anything else until you're done or put enough time into that thing.
Not yet though. In the future, for sure.

My point is that Napster-to-SD is not a fair comparison. Napster didn't eliminate or replace human artists, while SD certainly did. Therefore, it's not fair to assume the government can regulate themselves out of this one like they did with Napster. Because even though Napster enabled widespread piracy, the human musicians still had leverage in that they were needed to create new music.

So my answer to the question posed by parent comment of "will SD play out the same way that Napster did?" is "no" because there are fundamentally different economics at play.

Obviously, if a good generative model comes out, the music industry will be in a similar boat to the art industry right now. Google was working on it in 2017 (https://magenta.tensorflow.org/performance-rnn) but I don't know if they've made any progress since.

1. The founders' pitch consists mainly of the latest buzzwords.

2. They are either all technical or all sales/marketing.

3. They have a blind belief in the product despite repeated market signals and iterations.

4. Their only fallback plan is to "monetize the data".

5. They value equity more than revenue.
The Magic Behind Neural Networks
Often times, we lose sight in the magic behind neural nets and get discouraged while learning about some new modeling architecture. I felt this personally when studying the transformer architecture and trying to grasp its complex components such as the multi-headed attention and its positional encoding scheme. I wrote a post here describing the magic behind these magnificent networks, to remind us not to get intimidated! At the end of the day, we are still just simply feeding data into the model and allowing back propagation to work its magic.

Here it is. Cheers!

Seems pretty spot-on to me. I tried it with two accounts I was already certain were alts - based on other factors like favorite topics and common enemies as well as style/tone - and the top hits for both were the ones I would have expected.

There is more than enough EU software.

The problem with the MS products is a different one.

All authorities and almost all business are in tight vendor lock-in when it comes to US software. That's a powerful factor. You can't escape 30+ years of grown lock-in without "insane" investments.

The second factor is of course the corruption all across the EU and its authorities.

Ever heard the story of Munich's switch to Linux and than back to MS? "By chance" MS built its German headquarter in Munich right after that… (Of course hundreds of millions of Euros where in play there). And the sister of one of the lead politicians behind that is "by chance" working for MS in a high management role. There are also known buddy connections between the ex mayor of Munich and MS.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
I’d ask in a month. It’s still early since the layoffs. I’d guess that even for people who were laid off first, started looking immediately, and found plenty of hits, few have accepted jobs.

I’m much more curious in 4-5 months. I assume VC funding is harder to get now, for example, but I don’t think that’ll make a massive impact for a little while.
Why do you think the premise is incorrect?

Folks interested in this might also enjoy my hands-on blog series about compiler optimizations: https://predr.ag/blog/compiler-adventures-part1-no-op-instru...

It shows the process of building an optimizing compiler for the MONAD language from last year's Advent of Code. It covers topics like:

- no-op elimination (episode 1)

- constant propagation (episode 2)

- value numbering (episode 3)

- value range analysis (episode 4, coming out ~next week)
There is some good material in that book, and it is written in a manner that appeals to a wide audience, so the book does some good, but generally, Kiyosaki is a salesman (of himself as a genius) above all else, and often gives hot takes that will draw attention but have minimal real value behind them.

This claim is typical of a Kiyosaki take: it is extreme, it seems plausible, it draws attention, and it has no real basis in research or reality. I'm not saying the economy won't crash (it might or might not), but Kiyosaki doesn't have specific data backing his thesis.
My second closest match was 0.35 but searching people where they have matches 0.5-0.75 I suspect that's mostly to do with number of posts leading to better statistics.

Part of the process of “revivalism” is allowing minority viewpoints protection and platform.

In the modern Anglo-tradition, colleges and universities have played a major role in constructive dissent.

Non-public universities have historically had some kind of creed, but it was interpreted liberally enough to allow energetic debate.

Most probably they just died from the fall and only one or two landed in the latrine. But the latrine was the most salient part of the story - so it was what everybody was talking about and then it was recorded that way.

Many people have faced serious legal consequences for not answering questions from Congress, for example related to Jan. 6 riot. You do have the right to avoid testifying against yourself, so often Congress has to grant immunity from prosecution, in order to remove this legally justifiable excuse for not answering questions. I remember in the Iran/contra scandal, Congress was asked not to do this so that some of the people involved could be prosecuted, but chose to proceed for various reasons best known to themselves.
And yet the developers on one continent have done so with commercial success while those on another have not.

Obviously there are plenty of skilled software developers in Europe so the question we have to ask is what else is different.
In practice it doesn't matter at all, just BLM (Bureau of Land Management) alone owns 387,500 sq mi of public land. For comparison, Scotland, is 30,090 sq mi in size .

This is not counting local, state and national parks and forests.

Why fix a problem that doesn't exist?

Some of the largest parks are comparable in size to European countries.

I assume he's referring to the book Bowling Alone, an excellent read even if its thesis is a bit dated.
> The Meta Pixel gets its name from trackers that traditionally took the form of small, one-pixel-by-one-pixel images. These tiny graphics are embedded on websites and emails and typically collect info on who views the content. Since the Meta Pixel’s first iteration over a decade ago, when it was called the Facebook Conversion Pixel, the pixel’s functionality and tracking have grown quite expansive. Now the Meta Pixel is a mechanism that loads JavaScript code capable of collecting detailed and granular data for every interaction on a page. With all of this complexity, referring to it as only a “pixel” can be misleading.

I dont understand the intended target audience. Who is this for?

Most SMB leaders have enough trouble as it is keeping up with their day to day IT operations. The section at the start of the document is intended for “CEOs”, yet it’s likely impenetrable to that audience on account of the jargon while simultaneously giving advice that’s too high-level/broad to be useful.

Later parts of the document intended for technical leads are too focused on minutiae rather than outlining the overarching goals of their implementation, which loses the intended spirit of the document IMO.

For example, it’s more useful to start by outlining what these controls are trying to achieve. For example, “Ensuring business continuity after a ransomware attack” or “Protecting business assets with strong multi-factor authentication”, as opposed to throwing out specific individual technical controls without a high-level narrative to describe what you’re actually aiming for.
Lab bench to product can be 15 years or more, so doesn’t mean it doesn’t work.

The other hard thing is beating Li-Ion. It would have to be a lot better or cheaper to beat the economy of scale. Just a little better won’t displace the incumbent.
If you click paredit.el, there’s prose explanation in the comments.
NVMe has memory-mapped doorbell registers associated with each submission or completion queue, which are ring buffers typically allocated in host RAM and accessed by the SSD using DMA. Generating interrupts when a new entry is posted to a completion queue is optional. The host system can instead simply poll the completion queue to check whether any new IO operations have been completed. Depending on how busy the drive is vs how busy the CPU is, forgoing interrupts in favor of polling may reduce latency (fewer context switches when handling a new completion), but can also burn a lot of CPU time.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the tool in the OP sounds like a crowdsourcing effort to collect the data the Facebook tool can tell you across multiple users and multiple sites.

That's not really the same thing as a tool that tells a single person that the site they're on uses meta pixel as it happens.
Moral aspersions aside, dumb they aint.

500kg is still a lot, Suzuki Swift is about 850kg and Lotus Elise is 730kg. These are full cars with proper safety, performance and features.

IMHO the only proper safety about this car is its low speed and I'm curious about the situation with car collusions. Ami might be slow but this doesn't mean that can't be in a high speed collusion.
Where is it allowed to do illegal things because you don't like the legal alternative (or there isn't even one)?

Why does the article do a head to head comparison between the new battery and a "generic" Lithium battery.. and then later we see the specs of the Tesla battery and it is just about identical with the new battery.. but you know.. more energy dense and in production. The differences seem to be more in the rounding range. Sure.. twice the milage.. but show me a car where this matters past 500k. Always clickbait.. Now compare this to some Tesla battery still in R&D...

It would be possible for Reddit because Pushshift.io archives all the comments there and Reddit is still pretty small. I'd probably need to make things a lot faster. Doing it on a specific subreddit would be very feasible. I'll think about it but I don't actually know if I really want to do that because for instance I've been banned from subreddits before but I don't want a ban from when I was 12 years old to follow me around forever because my writing style hasn't changed. Moderation is the most obvious application of this kind of software.

I'm not laid off but actively looking to change after spending a couple of years at my current employer. Despite being a staff engineer, managing 12 engineers, and having a solid revenue stream tied to my current team - I've mostly gotten rejections without interviews, 1-2 low ball offers, or radio silence. I cannot imagine how hard this must be for those laid-off, hopefully this storm passes soon.

EDIT: you cannot make this up, it's a saturday and we got an email 1/3 of our team got laid off (I didn't yet, but I have a feeling it might happen soon).
Well Putnam's book suggested that it was a longstanding trend that just kept getting worse, so each decade would be a golden age compared to what came later.
