IIRC the corners of the ten-mile square are due north/south/east/west of the district's original center point - so it's aligned 45 degrees. (I had thought that the Capitol was dead-center within the original ten-mile square, but it's not.)

Also there are a few borders set to not be in the middle of the river - New Jersey-Delaware is another one, and there are bits of land on the Jersey side that technically belong to Delaware. (But New Jersey-Pennsylvania isn't, even though Delaware used to be part of Pennsylvania.)
I’m hoping this was said in jest but this is definitely not great news for you, and will only make the demographic cliff even steeper.

Assuming you at some point want to be alive when no longer young this is something to be alarmed by, as there simply aren’t going to be enough work-capable people around to keep the machinery of society functioning while still supporting those who have aged-out of the working aged population, unless your plan is to Logan’s Run anyone that shows signs of senescence (which probably isn’t anyone’s idea of a good time).

The problem with this article is that it starts out with great examples, but then failed to actually provide the utility of it because the assumptions are off compared to reality.

Fagpacket maths is great for specific problems, Can I make a mobile bridge, What price should I sell product x at. But all these examples have hard and agreed upon constraints.

The example fails because the author doesn't appear to have worked with systems of a big enough scale to make good assumptions. Once you start hitting petabytes its way way way cheaper to do on prem. The issue becomes one of backup and retrieval speed (which they touch on)

The reason why this is important is because for this fagpacket calc to work, you need to know the rough price per meg for storage of each asset class(and its purpose, ie, for machine learning, serving the CDN, for logs etc etc).

Tweets will be stored differently from pictures, and pictures will be different from video.

Archiving is impractical for an always on system (ie all old tweets and media need to load within 150ms)

The other big issue here is that caching is never really mentioned here. CDNs will be one of the bigger costs for twitter. The more efficient caching is, the less your raw storage costs are.

TLDR:
Fagpacket maths is great, but you need to know your constraints and parameters first. Otherwise you'll endup with wildly incorrect numbers.

You can enjoy declarative package management with easy rollbacks without really learning more than any other distro.
Thank you for sharing this! I am currently studying NLP..

Along the way, I've been struggling with a question and I hope someone can help me understand how to go about this: how would you build a model that does more than one NLP task? For a simple classifier like input: text (a tweet) and output: text (an emotion), you can fine-tune an existing classifier on such a data set. But, how would you build a model that does NER and sentiment analysis? E.g. input: text (a Yelp review of a restaurant) and output: list of (entity, sentiment) tuples (e.g. [("tacos", "good"), ("margaritas", "good"), ("salsa", "bad")]). If you have a data set structured this way, and want to fine-tune a model, how does that model know how to make use of a Python list of tuples?
I know this is sort of nitpicking but social security is not some sort of government sponsored savings account.

It’s a social welfare program like any other. So if politicians are “stealing” social security money, it’s not yours, it’s the beneficiaries. Similar to if they were stealing food stamps.

Like all social welfare programs it can be amended, changed, done away with, etc and it’s not “taking your money”. That money was gone when the taxes were paid.

If you want social security to be an existent and viable social welfare program when it’s time for you to receive it, vote for parties and politicians working to make that happen and punish those that don’t.

Or conversely if you don’t want that welfare program to exist vote that way.

But don’t treat social security as some bank account you’ve paid into, it’s not that.

In addition to the sibling comment about layering, this is largely what toolbox is for. Essentially you create containerized environments with a lot of integration (you can run GUI apps from them) and install whatever you want in those.

toolbox create new_dev_env_or_whatever
toolbox enter new_dev_env_or_whatever
dnf install all_the_things

And now you've got a container with whatever installed. To use it you do have to use `toolbox enter` or `toolbox run` though. Distrobox is basically the same thing for people who don't use Fedora.

I have my issues with both Flatpak and Toolbox as far as how they're put together and work, but overall I find it to be a vast improvement on the status-quo way of doing things. YMMV, of course.
It's a similar situation to taxes in the US. If people actually had to write a check to the government for how much taxes they owed...they'd be absolutely appalled and rioting in the streets. However because it gets taken out of the paycheck before the person see's it, it's like it was never there in the first place....and so they are none-the-wiser.
So can anything really, which is scary. In the 1930s, the government banned private ownership of all gold that wasn’t a small amount of jewelry and mandated anyone possessing it exchange it for dollars… with only an executive order. (Executive Order 6102)

That was also a canary in the coal mine moment. Amazingly the ban lasted until 1974.

I mean I rest easy knowing my government is keeping my social security money safe for me so it will be there when I retire.

I've been hearing this my whole life, and through circumstances worse than they are now. You want high interest rates? Rampant inflation? Try the 70s and 80s. Unstable world governments? phhhhhhffft I'll grant you, a certain political party has gone off the rails, but it's otherwise same shit, different decade. And as I now near the point when it's time for the SSA to start cutting me checks (I've still got a few years), it looks like they will still do exactly that.

That said, I've always planned finances as if Social Security won't be there when I retire.
It's the difference between a passive attack and an active attack. Most people think only of passive eavesdroppers, and against them it could be true that "it's trivially easy to solve the second problem and it doesn't require any PKI infrastructure whatsoever". But against an active attacker, unless you can solve the "is the opposite party who they claim to be" problem, it's trivially easy to eavesdrop by pretending to be the other party (MITM attack).

And then you find out there are ways to convert a passive eavesdropper into an active attacker (remotely injecting packets to manipulate the TCP connection state, based on observed sequence numbers), and the distinction becomes a bit fuzzy...
Your sperm does reset ever 75 days. Depending on the problem, it may be fixable. Exercise and raising testosterone will have a meaningful effect.

I'll have to look around and see if I can find that old site.

I do remember DA had some really great tutorials, and Pixeljoint was full of neat stuff to look at. Twitter was also a good place to check sometimes.

In a bit less mature vein, here's a 2D pixel sketch I made a while back that came to mind. I was trying to recreate the enthusiasm I had when drawing combat pictures as a kid.

https://www.reddit.com/r/PixelArt/comments/rq1z8d/now_green_...

When I taught art at the local college, I would sometimes give extra credit to students who tried pixel art, and I usually spent some time demonstrating how photoshopping could be done effectively and even quickly at the pixel level.

If you can work effectively with pixels (and maybe beziers in the vector world, not just the manipulation technique but the minimal-node style), you can pick up just about any graphics tool faster. I would even include 3D design tools in that.

"The extraordinary biological claims of the meta-analysis of sperm count trends and the public attention it continues to garner raised questions for the GenderSci Lab, which specializes in analyzing bias and hype in the sciences of sex, gender, and reproduction and in the intersectional study of race, gender, and science,” said Richardson, director of the GenderSci Lab, and a professor of the history of science and of studies of women, gender, and sexuality."

"In addition, they argued that the design of the 2017 study relied on racist and colonial hierarchies"

I get that everyone has their biases, but this sounds like it's up there with the feminist approaches to rocket science that claim rockets are shaped the way they are for Freudian reasons. The only specific claim your linked article is making against the actual studies/data is that there is not nearly as much data for Asian, African, and South American countries as there is for Europe and North America. Which is a great point, we need more data, but it doesn't really undermine or debunk any of the other claims being made.

OpenAI's ChatGPT Exploits a Ethereum Smart Contract
If the certificate says "Company AB" the CA is required to check that's true, there's a set procedure to do so. If you ask Let's Encrypt for a certificate saying "Company AB" they won't give it to you, because they don't follow such procedures and so they know they can't issue such certificates.

But, this is not very useful because:

* Consumers generally have no idea who "Company AB" are. You wanted funny-cat-gifs.example not "VXK Enterprise LLC of New Jersey" who might happen to run funny-cat-gifs.example. Lots of famous brands are actually offered by companies with unrelated names, so then you're asking the CA to vouch for the brand name, which is an extra layer of indirection...

* Jurisdiction is a thing. Maybe I trust Greasy Geoff's Cider And Pork, but alas I was thinking of the Kansas Greasy Geoff's, not the one from Missouri.

* Machines can't do anything with this so it's only useful in the rare case a human spent time thinking about it, whereas the DNS name check is something the machine cares about for every single HTTP transaction, of which often several per second happen.

Sine there're a lot of discussion in this tread. My opinion about category theory and programming is:

- You don't need category theory to be a programmer (or good or 10x or 100x programmer)

- It makes sense to learn category theory because its beautiful like it makes sense to study arts, literature or philosophy. Not because it useful, but because it gives you pleasure.
I would assume that this is a tongue-in-cheek suggestion; a commentary on the state of chess in 2022. Otherwise it makes zero sense, because what you're doing is using the rules of one game, Real Chess, to determine what moves are allowed in a completely different one, Human Chess, in a way that is very complicated and awkward. How would the top engine move be defined in an endgame where you have few enough pieces to use a table-base? Is any move that leads to a win a top-move? Or just the one that does so the quickest? Madness :)
> The black people in the United States, specifically

If Bubba goes on twitter and starts calling black people from Canada, Australia, Mozambique, or wherever "coon" they'll probably be offended by it once they figure out what it means.

> Now. Are you also going to dismiss this as "some guy from South Africa ffs"?

That wasn't me, so no i'm not. I'm not "being maximally culturally and racially insensitive to anything that is not US", I just answered your question with the simple and obvious truth. Honestly you're coming across as more of the "offended" type than the people asking for the name change in the first place.

And your quote isn't really helping you out. Comparing changing the name of a new software library to changing the name of a long standing physical product on shelves is dishonest when we could just do a simple apples to apples comparison.

If I consider a hypothetical situation where I named my project "Coolie" because I think it's a fun word and I used to like Coolio, then someone comes along and says hey that's pretty offensive to this subset of people on the other side of the globe for these reasons that will never affect you. I'd just change it. It would cost me nothing and probably net me some goodwill.
It is interesting, I have a friend group that consists of about 5 married couples all of whom have been having issues conceiving and have been trying for a while now, but are still having issues. Curiously enough my wife and I just had our 4th and every time we've conceived within two months (even when I was hoping it would take a little longer).

From what I hear our friends story is not unusual and many in our age bracket 20-30 year olds are struggling to have children.

Don't really know what my point is except it is interesting and I am wondering what the potential impact of the increased difficulty in having children is.
Yeah, exactly my thought. How could you think that if the sentiment in the general population is that anywhere between 50-85% are feeling burnt out that it's ok because comparatively a group is not suffering more than the other. It's just much worse that the whole population is feeling this bad about work. It shouldn't be this way!
Shouldn't those cubes be a bit higher? They look squashed to me.

2. Bitwarden: They look cool but "In September 2022, the company announced $100M series B financing". In my experience, usually, financing = bad.

3. KeePassXC: I'm afraid the UX will be worse. But hey it's in my operating system repos, so perhaps I should just give it a try?

Yeah, there are chess tournaments that do this now, like Norway Chess. But because a single tournament can't change the FIDE rating system, it's sort of a fart in the wind.

Norway chess also has the spectaculary stupid idea that if a game is drawn, the players play an armageddon(white gets more time, black wins with a draw) blitz game, and the winner gets half a point extra, so 1.5 to 1. This just ruins it to me. A draw should still be a draw, sometimes the players were just equal and not all draws are lazy. And this makes drawing more attractive again because if you win the armageddon you still get half a victory worth of points. And decided by a blitz game in a classical tournament.
The machinery of many societies, including the most powerful ones, is one where an owning class keeps most things for themselves, yet expects the non-owning class to want to contribute children to it and pay for it themselves. No thanks. If the owning class cares so much it can start doing things like making having a family much less economically stressful.
The lack of federally funded research on this topic is astounding. It's been like this for a long time, but ignored.

Even more notably has been the lack of curiosity from the media and academia.

They simply shrug and move on, as if the root cause of this isn't something we should look into as potentially causing other problems that are even worse.

Edit:

The downvotes without any comment refuting this highlight the issue. This is a topic that should elicit more curiosity than it does, and we should ask ourselves why it doesn't.

I worked in intel/defense for over 10 years, and part of our post Iraq WMD training was looking for signs of bias/motivated reasoning that are a sign of the group think that allowed for a war to be started based on false pretenses. One of the biggest indicators:

> Or conversely if you don’t want that welfare program to exist vote that way.

This doesn’t work with open boarders where those who get in will eventually be allowed to vote, the US has had amnesties before. A case of the government choosing their constituents rather than the other way around.

Most people that I know my age (millennials) pretty much assume SS will have run out by the time they need it. I can only imagine gen Z would be expecting social overhaul sometime during their working careers.
>A $800 macbook has far better build quality than any $500 Windows laptop

Took a peak at the apple store, there is no $800 Macbook for sale. So we're comparing, an older (used?) higher-end Macbook to a budget Windows laptop? Why not compare an older higher-end Windows laptop to an older Macbook? Why not compare a new $500 budget Windows laptop to a $500 used Macbook?

>Its Windows that's the issue for me. Having too many bad experiences and strong bias against Microsoft

You have a have a subjective preference - fine - we all do. So why pretend there is some objective measure here of Apple's superiority? Apple sells very expensive higher-end devices. The reality is that the quality of those devices is about on par with other devices in that class.
