Traditionally it's the job of the one preparing/serving the mate (the cebador) to take the first sips until it tastes right. So it's entirely up to you if you want to spit it out. Just make sure that by the time you offer it to someone else, that it's tasting good.
Because the biggest concern is still Chinese ownership of US customer data. Not just the addictive features within the app.
The energy is "released" from the binding energy of the nuclei. It's similar to how throwing a bottle of nitroglycerine can generate a huge explosion, even though you use a tiny amount of energy to throw it.
This is one of the really gross things about it. It felt like finance assholes disguising themselves in t-shirts and jeans in order to cash out on two decades of breathless techno-optimism being regurgitated by the press, in order to get regular people to buy into what amounts to an unregulated online casino. (Not that the tech industry needed the help cashing out on hype.)

To me it feels of a kind with the sports betting sites you see advertised everywhere nowadays and those CSGO skin betting sites that steamers were (and still are! See the People Make Games video on this) advertising to twelve year olds.
So here’s where there might be some confusion, Binance consolidates a pool of different stable coins into 1 “BUSD” balance for its users[0]. Depositing any of these stablecoins into Binance will add to your BUSD balance, and you can withdraw from it as any stablecoin of your choice. What CZ is saying is that they ran out of USDC but have plenty of the other stablecoins instead. It sounds like they need to redeem the other stablecoins to fiat USD and send it to Circle to mint USDC with it, hence the talk about the bank.

I want to thank whoever wrote the "Why Not To Use Pony" bullet points. They're quite honest and helpful. Most of these sorts of pages are 110% "rah rah our language is the best for every possible situation, which makes it hard to figure out how to evaluate them. For me personally, this has seemed worst with database products. No matter what the database's actual pros and cons are, their project pages will swear that they are the best at every possible scenario that might involve data.
Less of a flaw in how Congress / Parliament is formed, more of a flaw in how laws don't require a sunset provision, or absent one operate on a default 15-20 year maximum

We know murder should always be illegal - it should be noncontroversial to modify a 15-20 yr default sunset to "500 years" and call it a day

Some form of cryptocurrency legislation should probably be treated more like a "well this is new territory" so move the date up and punt it to a future Congress to renew based on how good of a result was able to be achieved
I don’t know if it was a hack, but found a query that would crash CockroachDB nodes on demand during a training.
I think the difference in innovation financing between Europe and the US fits quite well the image of European Old Towns versus the Empire State Building. Europeans are just very conservative when it comes to financial decisions. If something does not fit the mold which you know is accepted by peers, it is not given serious thought.
And you get to play the game of who has which app and who can proxy money around from one app to the other any time you want to organize a purchase amongst a group of friends.
It is hard to imagine this ever passing given how popular TikTok is in the US. Certainly strong privacy regulations are more popular among the people than banning apps.
Last time I checked, I can't get pregnant, at all.
I wonder if it might be possible to gain not percentages but orders of magnitude more or less just by making the targets bigger. Is it conceivable that the same basic approach and a comparable amount of input energy could be used to ignite a 100 MJ or even 1 GJ target ? Of course that would present some containment challenges but perhaps not insurmountable ones.

I'm also a bit concerned that this type of research may encounter national security related obstacles. Obviously a pure fusion bomb would be a game changer for nuclear (non-)proliferation.
Ehm this is wrong. The only true thing you stated is that someone has to learn a new language if moving. But most international companies are speaking english anyway.

Its super easy to move and change job in europe. Sign the contract and its done.
The problem is each country has their own system but they are very similar.
Not as easy as in the us but easy.

And there is a shitload of synergy… can you prove your point? If I look at the countries export they are mostly exporting to europe.
Airbus etc are another examples.
Fuck Elon/Twitter. We need a new actual visionary to build the next generation of social media, not a power-hungry alt-right panderer.
Yeah…remind me, what’s Firefox’s user share compared to other browsers? How is Mozilla doing as a company?
Tangentially related.

A friend of mine's wife is a paramedic/firefighter and I always ask her about crazy stories from when she's on duty. This past weekend, she told me about one where a teenager saw a challenge/trend on TikTok to report a fake fire. She said they showed up with multiple fire engines, ambulances, and a squad car to no fire. The girl who called it in just said she saw it as a trend on TikTok and wanted to post a video.

A ban wouldn't be the worst thing (especially when you consider that it's a covert foreign state attack—ideological subversion—by the CCP).
I don't really recall extended memory ever being used much on PCs running a real mode operating system like DOS. I definitely had an expanded memory add-on board at one point though.

There were a lot of essentially kludges in the latter days of DOS that weren't really made unnecessary until Windows 3.0 (or other OSs with a protected mode) and the 80386 and later processors.
Not a chance. This is the time of the election cycle when all sorts of weird shit gets proposed with no consequences. It's theater.
>> When I read what journalists were actually saying, they were quite negative about Bankman-Fried

I think the issue was there was no pressing follow up to his evasive replies. e.g Sorkin's interview. He was basically allowed to get away with "I didn't knowingly do it."
No idea, for me search mostly works.
So you seem to agree that 2020 and 1920 look very different, as far as the environment that people found themselves in. You seem to take issue with my claim that things have not improved for the better. Lets agree here instead that that some aspects of the environment are better and others are worse.

Going back to the subject at hand (fentanyl use), I think one can safely state that more people are dying from drug overdoses and suicide than they were in other decades in US history. Is it people who have changed, or their environment? And do you disagree that there is a correlation? Certainly there has to be. Availability of fentanyl correlates with fentanyl deaths, whereas unavailability of fentanyl would correlate with lack of fentanyl deaths. And so all the ways that the environment of 2020 is now better than in 1920, seems not to translate to less drug overdoses and suicides. And I can think of no better indicator of quality of life, than the indicator of how many people are choosing death over living.
Next year the Federal Reserve will be launching their FedNow service which should provide equivalent functionality to Europe's SEPA or Canada's Interac service.
You left out a whole step. The X-rays.
This has nothing to do with user data. People are influenced by the content they see on social media. Allowing a foreign adversary to run the main information network for an entire generation of the population is not a wise move.
That's a very apt analogy, as both this and Manhattan are weapons research programs.

I'm not very excited in hearing we'll get even more powerful thermo-nuclear bombs.
I mean almost all of the power in a nuclear bomb comes from fusion. The fission part of it is just like the detonator for the real explosion.
And it was just that the after the initial laser pulse that triggered ignition there was no need to sustain it to continue to heat up the fuel to induce fusion.

The fact that this indeed was ignition was one of the main reasons why the fusion reaction itself was net positive.
There are so many people who have obtained fortunes and not become drunk on that.

The person who built a liquor store and grew into 20 stores across the city. People who started consulting companies. That immigrant family who scraped and scraped for decades while living above their restaurant. The list is endless, especially compared to the much shorter list of crypto criminals who are drunk on their illusory power and fame, which seems to always disappear overnight.

Any fool can make a fortune; it takes a person of brains to hold onto it.
The audience is developers and anyone testing server apps locally. You can do the same thing with a vps and ssh reverse tunnel or just use tailscale which can do the same thing. Do I have to spell out the details of what tailscale supports vs ngrok or can you make that comparison yourself? This is a comment not a critical blog response.

The topic is ngrok's valuation, my response was how there are alternatives. How is that not valuable or relevant to the topic?
This tweet claims that 500MJ of energy was required: https://twitter.com/latzenpratz/status/1602686252486217728

> "had to put 500 megajoules of energy into the lasers to then send 1.8 megajoules to the target - so even though they got 2.5 megajoules out, that's still far less than the energy they originally needed for the lasers," says Tony Roulstone of the University of Cambridge.

But it's good to finally see progress. Very few technologies can transform the world the way a practical fusion reactor could.
I'm not any more comfortable with Facebook owning that data than the Chinese government. We've already seen the harm that comes from that.
The reality is that these are learning costs.

If Britain decided to build 10 APR-1400 in the next 10 years with each one they would improve.

France built like 50 reactors in 15 years with 60s technology. Yes they had issue early on but after a while they were completing reactors within 4-5 years and very few issues.

The reality is from 2000 to 2020 every country in Europe could have 100% green energy if they had just started building multiple reactors every year.

Germany could have easily have a green grid by now. A nation like Germany could very much have gone and do that, just as France did in 1980s.
Zelle is effectively nothing more than a way for attackers to freely siphon all the funds out of your account if they gain access to your banks online system. There is nothing that can be done in that case because Zelle doesn't have any system for handling fraudulent transactions.
Man if only the dude that first wanted to ban TikTok wasn't Orange we'd be way past this point already.
Because it's a nonsensical word that was only used by people to wave away obvious and legitimate criticisms. You don't see analysts reports in finance being called FUD, even when they are critical. That's because in the real world, people deal with and/or respond to criticism. In the crypto fantasy world, all of that is resolved just by calling it "fud".
The funding does seem miniscule given we spend 100x more on funding military excursions in the name of energy security
Don’t know, don’t care.

That’s the most lame reasoning by the way. Because that means you rm-rf-*ing whatever the code I wrote the moment I walk out of your door, don’t you?

So, it’s not my job to figure that out — unless you give me budget to hire. I work only in daytime.

Hire someone else to do the nighttime work, or just hire someone else. Or hire a living or otherwise robot who can work round the clock.

It doesn't matter. The appearance of the message itself usually meant the drive/disk was dead and there was nothing you could do about it.

Even worse, programs almost never handled this gracefully so if you were trying to save your work it was effectively lost and you might as well ctrl-alt-del, even if you had another disk or drive (already attached).

China banning US social media is bad for Chinese citizens. US banning any social media is bad for US citizens. TBH, I'm more worried about the rights of US citizens.
A process which has been finally accomplished at one of the most advanced research facilities in the world after decades of effort, and which requires as an energy input almost as much energy as the process produces, is not easily weaponized, no.

Fusion reactions are hard to start. To use one as a weapon would require you to deliver the fusion fuel together with a source of enough energy to start the fusion reaction off. So the most effective way to do so has historically been to trigger them with a nuclear fission reaction from an atomic bomb - which results in a Hydrogen bomb.

In other words, weaponizing fusion generally requires you to already have an extremely powerful weapon.

Weaponizing this laser based inertial confinement fusion approach requires you to deliver a facility the size of the Lawrence Livermore lab plus the electricity generating capacity of a significant part of the west coast of America onto your target.
Energy is released when two atomic nuclei combine to form a larger atomic nuclei.

There's a threshold of energy required to attain this fusion reaction (otherwise there would be no light nuclei in the universe), and once the nuclei combine there's energy that is released, similar to how some chemical reactions can be exothermic in nature.
With 8% of NZ smoking and that number apparently falling, can you state the problem?
It's a compliance requirement in certain fields, too, so someone asking for it is a reliable way to tell that they're probably less cost-discriminatory.
There is no such thing as anonymous. There is only more difficult. A government that controls enough endpoints (e.g. your country's backbone) can infer identity.
You have a piece of wood. You ignite it with a match. This causes a self sustaining reaction in the form of fire that releases far more energy than the match could ever create.

This is effectively what is happening with any energy generator.
Why would beta be a deal breaker for testing stuff? No one will use ngrok in prod right? (Except malware authors)
I mentioned this already in a comment, but although this is a good law, the price of cigarettes is so high that most people have already moved to disposable vapes, which you can get from any Dairy (Kiwi word for a corner shop).

To top that off, Crime in NZ post covid has been pretty high, and Ram Raids (driving a stolen car through a shop front) are becoming more and more frequent. With cigarettes being so expensive, they are usually a pretty common target. A dairy worker was stabbed to death a few weeks ago by people who were probably intending to steal cigarettes [1]. I can see less and less retailers stocking cigarettes as the risks outweigh the benefits.

Also, the price of groceries in NZ is extortionate [2] and combined with crappy wages (every man and his dog are moving to Aus to double their salary), no one can afford to buy cigarettes.

US law seems to have a Homer Simpson approach to protecting its citizens. "Nobody ruins my family vacation but me, and maybe the boy!"
As a European who did precisely that (living and working in multiple different nations) and has many transnational coorperations in the industries I worked in: I don't think the disconnect is nearly as pronounced as you make it out to be.

It could be better, sure. But everything, everywhere could be better, so this is not a valid argument.

Sure as a connected landmass the EU could become more connected, especially in law and regulation. But it is becoming just that with every year.

And if you e.g. compare how easy it is for me to work in another country with another history and culture, where in the world would you have that? A Mexican coming into the US certainly has it harder than a Spaniard coming to Germany.

When I first moved from Austria to Sweden for example, I could literally use my social health care card at the doctor without any questions asked and have exit with a bill of zero SEK and a recipe for medicine for the same amount — just like I knew from home.
Do more powerful bombs really make any difference? Seems a bit like worrying about the impact of climate-driven ocean rise on the pressure at the bottom of the Marianas Trench.
There are a couple of other contenders in this space. DVC (https://dvc.org/) seems most similar.

If you're interested in something you can self-host... I work on Pachyderm (https://github.com/pachyderm/pachyderm), which doesn't have a Git-like interface, but also implements data versioning. Our approach de-duplicates between files (even very small files), and our storage algorithm doesn't create objects proportional to O(n) directory nesting depth as Xet appears to. (Xet is very much like Git in that respect.)

The data versioning system enables us to run pipelines based on changes to your data; the pipelines declare what files they read, and that allows us to schedule processing jobs that only reprocess new or changed data, while still giving you a full view of what "would" have happened if all the data had been reprocessed. This, to me, is the key advantage of data versioning; you can save hundreds of thousands of dollars on compute. Being able to undo an oopsie is just icing on the cake.

Xet's system for mounting a remote repo as a filesystem is a good idea. We do that too :)

The full quote is

> This historic, first-of-its kind achievement will provide unprecedented capability to support NNSA’s Stockpile Stewardship Program and will provide invaluable insights into the prospects of clean fusion energy, which would be a game-changer for efforts to achieve President Biden’s goal of a net-zero carbon economy.

That is his administration's goal, and it's the directive that DoE is working under during his presidency.

Unless you have another party in mind that's been vocally championing a net-zero carbon economy?
>but it's also not an absurd policy direction.

It is when you forget where the collected data ends up, and just focus on the hoovering of the data. FB is the OG of this realm, but because they are US based instead of Chinese based, they get a pass?

In the evils of data hoovering, I'm much more perturbed what theZuck knows about me much more than caring what winnie the pooh knows about me. All politics are local. If I lived in Beijing, then I'd have those concerns flipped.
You take a lighter and light gasoline on fire, using X energy. Then once the gasoline catches on fire, it'll burn on its own, releasing Y energy.

Same principle, different means.
Why not? China doesn’t allow our social media. Why should we allow theirs? We can easily copy the best parts of the platform and let our companies take their users. Plus, social media can be used for mass political manipulation, and what justifies letting them hold that power over our population?

It’s good for our companies, it’s good for our people, and it takes away a dangerous tool from a country that is more and more an adversary.

I truly hope it is banned. Better late than never. Nothing against this rather brain-dead tech. Let Facebook/Google/Twitter have those users on the clones.

What information available to the public suggests this is reproducible and consistent? They do hundreds of shots every year. Why do we think that this energetic shot wasn't just a result of getting luckier this time than they did a few years ago?
IIRC the Tesla Roadster had a 2-speed transmission initially, due to engineering challenges with high-rpm bearings. But they struggled with the engineering challenges of high-torque transmissions, and eventually sorted out the bearing issues and went back to 1-speed.

The answer is simple, through a lack of knowledge. Knowledge of the law is not genetically inherited.
I've seen a bunch of his interviews now and his message is pretty controlled, actually. It all boils down to: (a) I don't know, wasn't aware, and (b) I messed up / lost focus. These appearances seem to play a therapeutic (instead of legal or financial) role for SBF (bad idea, obviously). Yesterday (12/12) he was still talking about returning in a "senior executive role" to help in the bankruptcy. He is also convinced FTX USA and FTX Japan were fully solvent and that they still have a future. Fascinating.
The B-21 isn't unmanned, the nuclear-capable B-2 already existed, and we've had fusion bombs since the 1950s.
Looks like the Nature article (https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-022-04440-7) is more clear about it still being a net loss. Still an important step forward, but it's important to contextualize it.
