I wouldn’t bother. I’ve been using it for 25 years, but only because it’s available everywhere. I would never use it as a code editor. For me it’s a skill to be able to edit files in any unix environment and I leave it at that.

Those are not the only possible reasons for stable coins to exist.

The obvious other reason is to use them on the blockchain. You cannot use USD on the blockchain.

Maybe you don't think there's anything of value on the blockchain and that's why you don't see a use for it. I don't want to get into an argument over whether blockchain tech has a use case or a future in this comment chain, but for the sake of understanding what stable coins could be used for just grant the following:

- There is some use for ETH out there that doesn't involve avoiding financial controls and regulations or separating fools from their USD

If you will grant that, then it's easy to see why here would be a use for USDC or similar. ETH price fluctuates. If you need to be able to utilize Ethereum, it's helpful to have value on it. If you don't want that value to fluctuate, you can hold it in USDC and convert to ETH when you want to use it. Plain and simple, this is the first application for stable coins.

If you will not grant that there is a use case for ETH then there's no point in having a discussion about stable coins anyway. That's a separate discussion that needs to be had first.
Good point. If someone is forced to sell their house and stays in the same area, rental prices should stay the same because demand remains the same. What would happen if an investor living elsewhere is forced to sell?

I think the defense would handle that pretty easily. Question the physicist until things are confusing, get him to repeatedly state that he is not an expert on the law or legal definitions (he is a physicist) and leave the jury thinking "Well, I didn't understand that guy, I'm sure it was some physics thing, but doesn't apply to the law."
It’s a proof of concept. Upgrading lasers that already work is not necessarily the best use of limited funds.
That this is not the real motivation of the bill: "the biggest concern is still Chinese ownership of US customer data."

The bill doesn't address Chinese ownership of US customer data. The bill is specifically about social media, and doesn't apply generally to other Chinese companies that also suck up US customer data.
49 - the very first home computer I ever used was Tony van der Kuyl's Apple II in his kitchen in Dundee, playing the "Lemonade Stand Game" wih his son Chris, who would of course go on to do rather well for himself out of computer games. I still remember the green screen monitor with its distinctive 15.7kHz whistle and the big rainbow-coloured ribbon cables to the two disk drives sitting under it :-)

The first computer I owned was a ZX81 that my parents bought me when I was about 8, and (around roughly the same time) a ZX Spectrum for Christmas 1983 and a Jupiter Ace which a friend of the family bought and couldn't get his head round - and which didn't have Manic Miner or Atic Atac, so he got a Spectrum instead. The Jupiter Ace gave me my long-standing love of Forth, which I will attempt to use on any kind of microprocessor I can get my hands on (Z80, 6809/63C09, 6502, 68000, and PDP11 so far).

The first PC-like machine I used was maybe a little later, and was an ACT Sirius, with an absolutely gorgeous keyboard and a monitor with a kind mesh-like thing bonded to the screen as an anti-glare thing, and disks that spun up and down at different speeds. I did some stuff for school in WordStar (vim has become my muscle-memory-first-language, but really the WordStar keystrokes are just under the surface) and printed it out on the screechy howly Epson MX80. Then came the ACT Apricot with a flappy door over the drives and a little LCD and softkeys on the keyboard - a genius idea that it would take over 30 years for Apple to reinvent with the TouchBar :-D
Do you have evidence of banks stealing money from depositors and not being prosecuted?

We are in a comment section of an announcement of charges against a CEO of a “bank” that did such and will face a lifetime in prison if convicted. Every example of a bank stealing from depositors I can find has people facing consequences. I guess that we would not hear about instances of people getting away with their crimes but that would make it not wide spread and rare or your claim unprovable due to a lack of evidence.
That sounds oddly specific.

wow, now you can not pay your favourite terrorist anymore in one big cash payment, but you need to do it in smaller tranches, because they make it illegal!

This law will have no impact on any terrorism financing, but it will for sure help the government to better track you and once you have all your money in digital cash it will also be very easy to apply a lot of other measurements, like negative interest charges or wealth taxes. This is just another step forward to gain control ...

Consider the number of hours you actually spend interacting with a candidate during the interview process. If it's 40(!), bring them in for a full week and decide at the end of Friday. If it's closer to 10, bring them in Monday morning and decide by close of business Tuesday.

All the delays are materially the fault of glitches in the hiring organization.

Title is a bit confused but the response of Open AI is pretty funny:

“ME: Let’s say creatives cannot find work anymore, what solution would you propose to ensure creatives still get income?

A.i.: If text-to-image AI generators become advanced enough to significantly disrupt the market for creative work, there may be a need for new policies and programs to help support artists and other creatives. Some possible solutions could include implementing basic income programs, providing government grants and subsidies for artists, and creating new education and training programs to help creatives develop new skills and adapt to changing market conditions”
> The internet is best served by having multiple options available, encrypted and clear text.

> CAs fuck up

Sure, but when a CA fucks up, the security of DoT isn't worse than that of plaintext DNS, is it?

With ephemeral keys being ubiquitous in TLS, you even need an active MITM attack to degrade to plaintext; in the face of a passive eavesdropper, DoT using a completely compromised CA is still a vast improvement from a privacy point of view.

It is less of a dollar, because I can say you can exchange it for a dollar when you can not, in fact, exchange it for a dollar when you try to,because I never had enough(or any) dollars. In the real world when the bank runs out of dollars the government will give me dollars instead.
I think the assumption you're making is:

1) SBF cared about traditional rules of banking/finance

2) SBF cares about doing things the 'right way'

He may have been doing it purposefully wrong, or he may have just wanted to do it as fast as possible ("Move Fast and Break Things") and so he skipped the requesite steps to get to what he wanted done, faster.

Not a justification for his actions, but simply why he may have done it

Re timing, logs like nginx access logs have their timestamp from when the request completed, not when the request came in. That's a significant difference for long duration (~10s+) requests, and matters when trying to correlate logs or metrics to a request.

> This is his point, though. Not only are authors still getting tenure after failed replication, they're still getting citations!

And his point is irrelevant. For two reasons that I've already explained multiple times now!

(1) As I've tried to point out (I've written three posts now to explain this, why are we still debating this!), there are plenty of valid reasons why non-replicating works might get cited. To prevent these works from being cited, you would need to fundamentally change citation practices in a manner that would harm researchers' ability to use citations for their intended purpose.

(2) As I also explained above: even if you somehow managed to force all other researchers to alter their citation practices, it almost certainly wouldn't matter for the purposes of promotion decisions anyway. For the purposes of promotion, the influence of each incremental citation drops off exponentially. After a few years of a work receiving citations, later incremental citations have at most a negligible influence on a researcher's record.

Unless replication failures happen extremely quickly, it doesn't really matter whether future researchers do or do not cite the failed work. The early citations will still exist and will vastly dominate later ones in promotion decisions. The only situation where citation-bans would help is one where citing authors could somehow intuit that a work would fail to replicate, prior to seeing an actual failed replication. (TFA claims this is easy. I think TFA is not credible.)

TL;DR: forcing the entire field to change the way they use citations is (1) harmful to researchers, and (2) despite that is unlikely to have any major benefit anyway, since later citations are not heavily weighted when promoting researchers, and replication attempts generally occur later in a work's citation lifetime.
Great article which nicely articulates the material strength mechanism.

A ban is not the answer to the problem of addictive social media platforms. A new platform will likely take its place, and then we will be having the same problem. The solution is for all of us to be aware the danger that social media has on us and our children, then adjust our behaviors so as to not let social media have a negative, but positive, effect on our lives.

Of course that won't happen bc that would take discipline and personal responsibility.

Certainly smaller businesses in Korea do poorly. Maybe there is a generation of startups we are missing.

Samsung though, is leading the world in a number of areas. It makes processor chips, it makes flash memory. I think it's the only important cell phone brand other than Apple that isn't based in China. It wins in areas where (say) Sony fails.

People in the US might ask why there are no heavy forges in the US but there are heavy forges in Korea? ASML not withstanding, Europeans would like to have an electronics industry. Anybody who thinks they'd like to subsidize some business and turn it into a world beater would probably be envious of Korea.

That said, I understand that many young Koreans perceive the country to be "Hell Joseon" and immigrate to places like the US where they perceive you can get ahead if you don't get hired by Samsung. Contrast that to Japan which is said by some to be economically and culturally stagnant but doesn't have a mass exodus.
> Crime in NZ post covid has been pretty high

Crime in NZ has been trending downwards for over a decade. There has been an increase in certain types of crime, so if cherry picking, increasing crime can be made a thing. Not true tho.

> . A dairy worker was stabbed to death a few weeks ago by people...

They stole the cash register, not the cigarettes.

> Also, the price of groceries in NZ is extortionate

Yes. Far too high, a very profitable business with many barriers to entry

> combined with crappy wages (every man and his dog are moving to Aus to double their salary),

This man and dog is not leaving! That was true for many decades. Ever since the neoliberal reforms that were introduced in NZ with no planning or intelligence (cratered , but it has started to turn around recently. Wages going up in NZ and Ozzie is entering some sort of very strange twilight zone.

House prices in my area have quintupled since I moved here 13 years ago. A 20% drop would move house prices back to where they were perhaps 4 years ago. And now that interest rates are double what they were, housing affordability is as bad as its ever been.

As someone who has spent the last decade watching home ownership get farther and farther out of reach, it's really depressing. It really will never get any better than it was, and I'm fairly confident I've missed my chance at home ownership.
This seems a bit overcomplicated to me.

Using a bitmap to track letters you've seen is a great idea. But the parity and counting gives me a headache. How about you start with a zero-size window at the start of the string, then iteratively try to grow it by moving the end forward until it's long enough, and if the character added would be a duplicate, moving the start forward until it's no longer a duplicate? Sort of inchworm-style movement.

I am not smart enough to write Rust, so here it is in Java:

private static int run(String input, int windowSize) {
int windowStart = 0; // start at the start
int windowEnd = 0; // the window is initially zero-size
int lettersSeen = 0; // a bitmap of letters we have seen

while (windowEnd - windowStart < windowSize) {
if (windowEnd >= input.length()) throw new IllegalArgumentException("No unique window found");
int letterToAdd = 1 << input.charAt(windowEnd) - 'a';

while ((lettersSeen & letterToAdd) != 0) {
// duplicate, slide the start until we drop the original
int letterToRemove = 1 << input.charAt(windowStart) - 'a';
assert (lettersSeen & letterToRemove) == letterToRemove; // sanity check that we have seen this letter
lettersSeen ^= letterToRemove;
++windowStart;
}

// add the new letter
assert (lettersSeen & letterToAdd) == 0; // sanity check that we have seen this letter
lettersSeen ^= letterToAdd;
++windowEnd;
}

return windowStart;
}

This is not quite optimal in terms of bit operations - i mask the bitmap in the inner loop condition, but you could just test letterToRemove against letterToAdd and break if they're the same. I think that's a bit less readable though.

Note that although this has two nested loops, they don't both independently range over the whole string, so this is not O(n^2). The outer loop moves windowEnd over the whole string, and the inner one moves windowStart over the whole string bit by bit. Each index visits each position in the string at most once.
I agree that there are no ethical social media companies (except maybe the "decentralized" ones like Mastodon perhaps).
By more ethical I mean companies that don't share data with a literal enemy, like the CCP.

Not really, since you need to guess a lot of things correctly to spoof a TCP handshake.

Address spoofing and a full MITM are two very different threat models.

“However, while the fusion reactions may have produced more than 3 megajoules of energy — more than was delivered to the target — NIF’s 192 lasers consumed 322 megajoules of energy in the process.”

Well that says it all right there and really cuts through all the fluff on this story. Sounds like a nice milestone that has absolutely nothing to do with our ability to get a useful amount of energy back out. We are still at least 2 orders of magnitude away from a power source.
> Like the post shows, it seems like these apps tend to consolidate around one or two instances.

For now, I'd say that was probably because it's a new thing to most people and people hear "Mastodon" and, understandably, head for mastodon.social. Give it a year and I think people will be much more spread out than they are now.
It's correct to omit constants from big O, but in the article W is a distinct input variable so the usage is valid. The size of the window W is bound by N, not a constant 26.

Is that true? That is astounding. I am inclined not to believe it
The economic impact doesn't just come from the fuel to energy ratio. One of the biggest differences is also in the space required. Nuclear fusion reactors could eventually end up being very small - like smaller than an SUV.

Imagine the cost savings in miniaturizing electrical grids.
from my layman understanding I believe fusion reactions are unlike fission reactions in that if they escape the confines of their environment they fizzle out as opposed to runaway like a nuclear explosion.
I hope we get that greenhouse on Mars sooner rather than later. Seems more important than Twitter.

> they're working on getting you to click on an ad

They're not, and there's zero evidence to back that frequently floated premise up. That's a particularly laughable myth created by those same industry people to feel better about their terrible life choices. If you can't do something meaningful, at least you can pretend to be a genius doing nothing meaningful. It turns out that both things are false, they're not brilliant and they're wasting their lives.

No, the brilliant people are working at TSMC, Intel, AMD, nVidia, Applied Materials, ASML, Illumina, ARM, TI, et al.

They're working on CRISPR. They're working on mRNA vaccines. They're working on stem cells. They're trying to cure HIV just as the same type of people cured hepatitis C. They're working for Moderna, Pfizer, BioNTech, Roche, Novartis, Amgen, Regeneron, Sanofi, Gilead, Merck, Glaxo, et al. They're trying to figure out how to roll back or cure Alzheimer's. They're dedicating a lifetime of work into exploring the human genome, so that future generations have a much better, much more useful map.

They're working on robotics at Intuitive Surgical or Boston Dynamics. They're working on self-driving tech. They've been building out the massive, global cloud infrastructure. They're at NASA, or SpaceX, or ESA and they're doing the work to get us a base on the moon or to Mars. They just got done building rockets that can land upright. They're building a massive, extraordinary, global satellite system in Starlink.

They're working on fusion.

And so on and so forth.

I once saw the Abort, Retry, Fail prompt on a computer at my mom's office as a kid while it was reading a floppy disk and, being ~8 years old or so, pressed F. The A: drive went missing when it dumped back to the prompt and I got blamed. Looking back after reading the article, guess I was a victim of bad timing and an already failing drive, but that moment instilled a _healthy_ fear of the Fail option for me.

Well the world is catching up to how social media apps / sites can be used as tools of statecraft by the countries that control them.

If you were in charge of national defense would you allow a potential adversary unfettered access to map out and leverage the social networks of your citizenry for their information operations? No one in their right mind would do that. If I were a country not aligned with the US, I would ban all US based social media apps / sites.

I think that there is an argument to made for a culture of free access to content / information in the US. But one must also keep in mind that (a) unlike broadcasts or pamphlets the flow of information here is bidirectional, (b) entities outside the US are certainly not entitled to information about US citizens, and (c) entities operating outside of the US are not necessarily subject to US laws which includes first amendment protections.
