I'm fairly certain there would be major mining, commercial fishing, and oil drilling operations in Antarctica today it weren't for the Antarctic Treaty. (Also, wars.) It's a geopolitical accident that everything worked out so well with the treaty. I doubt it will hold forever.

Perhaps you're forgetting that the initial detailed resource assessment (exploratory drilling etc.) is also prohibited, which stops investment from getting a foothold.

(I spent a lot of time down there)

Edit: thinking a bit more... Why do you say the treaty isn't enforced? I've been under federal investigation for what some people thought was a violation of the Antarctic Conservation Act (US law enforcing the treaty). I don't think anyone has ever been charged under that law so you could be right, but I was scared and I assure you people take the ACA seriously.

I am about to publish a paper, but under no circumstances do I want to do so under my own name. Are there websites that might help me do this?
Yes - trich, you’re right. I still feel a wave of disgust when I think of consuming raw pork. But as shown in Germany, trich is low probability if the animal is raised right - and thus the disgust is a cultural thing, not universal standard.
Not really as it is not their philosophy. Ipad OS is the one.
If you had them, and were about to fall over, would there be room to put a boot on the floor between those flails? Would you dare try it?

On the other hand, chances are it would make cars stay a safe distance away.
Wow, thank you. I was not aware of that fact! So it really might be worth a try so I can see how far I can go with it.
I wish it was only 15 minutes.
We don't call it "key money" in the US, but you'll be paying something like 10% of your annual rent to a broker in places like NYC. In some markets the landlord pays these fees, but in other markets where demand is high, the tenant gets to pay. Combine this, your first month's rent, and a security deposit, and Tokyo doesn't seem much different than the US.
You have it backwards, the strong invariant is that you have a container and not a maybe container.
Just make sure you take them off in the summer. They go away really fast in warm weather.
Not something mentioned in the article, but something I've found super useful at my current (fully remote) job is the concept of "office hours". Where I am, each team has a hour or two each week where folks are "available". For some teams, like mine, most folks show up for the video meeting and we go over whatever short topics we've accumulated over the last few days with whomever, or just work muted if it's not something relevant to us. Very casual. Other teams are generally offline, but if you tag them in their team's slack channel, they'll pop on their video meeting link and you can go over whatever you need to. Nice.
It's not a solution to all problems, but ends up being a nice 'hallway conversation' substitute where you don't _quite_ know who you need, or just need to ask some questions and don't want to go to the trouble of scheduling a meeting just for that.
And since the whole thing is informal, it doesn't feel like a time waste, even if you're not 'involved' in what's going on. YMMV, of course, but it seems to work for us.
It's only possible to extradite people if they did something that's a crime in both countries.
I haven't kept up with C++ for over a decade, but the little glimpses I catch of it makes me think that though it has received good and useful stuff, it has also grown needlessly complex.
During my college course on accounting cash flow was by far the most difficult to understand and I still find it difficult in light of the cable company example.

As an owner you still want money to spend. How do you get that if not from the profits?
The author states that the incriminated blog post is perfectly logically constructed. That is not the case. The argument:

Once you have less skin in the game, it is easier to make bad decisions

Doesn't quantify how much it's easier, and nothing follows from this. It may be ok that some startups (maybe even 99%) fail because not having skin in the game is not right for them. This may filter out, globally, bad startups.

But let's allow the argument to be true and that the rest follows. Still it's all conditional to a specific startup making those mistakes, being easier to make doesn't mean they are made consistently.
sorry, m8. same sitch here. i got nothing.
Presumably for the same reason you'd want to eat any other meat raw. There's no advantage to doing it, but people do it anyway.

The home you live in is not an investment, you should not see it as one.

If the $ value of your house goes down, you can still live it in just fine. If you want to move, and the overall market is down, you will sell your house for less but you will also buy your new house for less. No matter what, a 100m2 house is still worth a 100m2 house in a similar neighborhood.

The only case you should be worried is if only YOUR neighborhood goes down in price while the rest of your city is stable or going up. Or only your city is going down and you want to move to a different city.

Anyway - it's still unclear to me how allowing small business in residential area would make the housing prices go down. If anything it would make it go up as having small business in a walking distance is very convenient.

Even multi-stories buildings, I see why homeowners don't want them because of their personal confort, but if it becomes the norm I don't see how it would make their property prices go down.
Hey HNs,

I wanted to share my recent work on CI (Conversational Interfaces) and how it's revolutionizing the way we interact with technology.

As we move into 2023, I believe we'll see the end of traditional UI (User Interfaces) and the rise of CI in businesses. With CI, we can remove the need for GUI (Graphical User Interfaces) and instead use natural language processing to interact with technology.

This has the potential to completely change the way we use technology in our daily lives and in business. Imagine being able to simply ask your computer to perform tasks, rather than clicking through menus and navigating complicated interfaces.

Not only will this make technology more accessible to those who may have difficulty using traditional interfaces, it will also increase efficiency and productivity in the workplace.

I'm excited to see the potential of CI in shaping the future and I hope to see more and more businesses adopting this technology in the coming years.

What do you guys think about the potential of CI in the future? Do you see it becoming a major player in the tech world?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
It's already covered in the law. Most provinces are requiring that "beneficial ownership" of any corporation is reported to the government.

What is more likely is that some foreigner would use a relative in Canada, who has PR or citizenship, to buy the property on their behalf.

But foreigners buying home in Canada was never that big of an issue. I think in the hottest areas it was high single digits. It did have an impact no doubt, but it was mostly Canadians running amuck on cheap debt that ran home prices into the stratosphere.

But the funny part is that home prices are already dropping fast (due to rising interest rates) so I can't wait until some politician claims this legislation works.

The main beef with C++ is that it's just a mass of every single feature possible held together with some goo. It works, but there's no grace and elegance.
Maybe the very ability to make a 512 bit-wide memory controller stems from the very short, very tightly controlled and shielded lined between the DRAM chips and the controller?

(No idea if it's so, but DRAM is such an analog HF beast that a controller needs training before it can work with a particular chip, in a particular slot on a particular system board. It's automatic but it's there, and it must have limits.)

I'll end this pointless argument by agreeing with you on this. Those bastards are cowards. Seeing Bolsonaro run away like a rat was just as humiliating to the people who supported him and the brazilian right in general.
But why does representation of different skin colors matter or ethnicity matters? There are very very few occasions where it does, but in most everyday situations like work, sports etc it really doesn't. I'd rather be classified by an attribute that's relevant to the situation such as skill level or expertise rather than arbitrary attribute like my skin color, why not my height or color of my teeth instead?

Long Island is almost 3 million people—-about the size of the St Louis metro area.

It has a local paper, not the North Shore Leader, but Newsday. Newsday has a weekly circulation of 1 million and has won numerous Pulitzers.

The massive failure here is on them and it should prompt some real soul searching.
This is a nice effort if it allows you to run bloom 170B in 1s per token. Just for comparison sake. With a last gen Ryzen cpu (16core) it takes me about 90s to run the model with 32gb ram (the entire model uses few GB of nvme storage too, as 32gb isn't enough ram).

However, I wonder how they prevent abuse. The main page doesn't mention it. As they mentioned block chain I suspect there will be some sort of credits implemented. I'll definitely be watching where this project goes.

Edit:just to clarify the 90s is not the 170b parameter model. It is 7b bloom version. I forgot to mention it and it puts the ability to run a 170B model in 1s in better perspective.
try! and '?' is just a syntactic convenience for passing error returns to the caller. It's not even monad-like because the outer code still has to wrap the happy path return with Some(...) or Ok(...), which wouldn't be the case with an actual monad.

(I.e. it's quite different from what was done with "async fn" support, where the Future return type is hidden via the 'async' specifier and the control flow is totally changed.)
The functional version is written in a style that uses tail recursion, which is not optimized in JS. It’s linear if arrays are not copied, which should be the case with TCO.

Both versions are quadratic if arrays are actual arrays and require a single chunk of memory. (push may need to copy the entire array)
I think this is a relevant link for you: https://huggingface.co/transformers/v4.9.0/parallelism.html

For large LMs, people usually use tensor-parallelism (TP) or pipeline-parallelism (PP). TP involves lots of communication, but uses all GPUs 100% of the time and works faster. PP requires much less communication, but may keep some GPUs idle while they are waiting for data from others.

Usually, TP is used when you have good communication channels between GPUs (e.g., they are in one data center and connected with NVLink), while PP is used when communication is a bottleneck (like in Petals, where the data is sent over the Internet, which is much slower than NVLink).

Free website! Only 17euro a month! So easy even a smart looking woman can do it!

So, um, you seem like a nice guy? But gosh, your marketing skills may need a little bit of work.

So if I can tell correctly, you are reselling hosting services from (as you say in your comments) cheap providers. Then maybe you are having a page layout designer the client can access? This is an okay idea - there are many. But your front page (heyhomepage.com) has a picture of a woman and a caption "so easy anyone can do it". This is offensive. You say it is free but at the bottom it says it is 17 euro per month. The page is so simple, no one will want to make a page like that! Your information on there lists basic reasons someone might want a webpage, but they already know that! May I suggest... rethinking the idea completely? Are you a hosting provider? Are you designing web design software? You might do better as an affiliate reseller. Also, RSS is not Really Social Sites, it is Really Simple Syndication.

I know this is not the feedback you wanted, but I guess its better than being ignored.
Best of luck with the next idea!
The decision is not as centralized as you make it out - various governments and other super-national bodies can and have taken different decisions, based on various assessments and, at least to some extent, the will of their populace (though I'll be the first to point out that representative democracy and technocracy make the effect very indirect).

The argument for not making this decision fully decentralized is that assessing the risk-to-benefit ratio requires a significant level of expertise, both in the subject matter itself (were the studies conducted well? what possible blind spots may they have methodologically? what plausible effects could these blind spots have on public health?), and in the more political/social side (are the doctors running these studies trustworthy? are the results being accurately reported between observation and collation? will this medicine be over-sold to patients in disregard of the studied benefits/risks? what is the cost/benefit estimate for using this in public hospitals?).

Now, it would be possible in principle for the state to provide the current centralized verification services, but then only give consultation-level opinions to the populace, doctors (and/or the public health system). But given the strength of PR and direct-to-consumer marketing, this seems to be extremely risky in terms of people ending up swindled to spend huge amounts for terrible medication sold by unscrupulous corporations (a free-for-all version of the opioid crisis).
Ramda is what you get when people try to zealously make Haskell out of Javascript. The same happens in many other languages where people try to force Haskell idioms into languages.

Edit. For some reason people equate "functional" with Haskell, even though Javascript (and most modern languages) is perfectly capable of expressing functional idioms without the descent into madness.

Your vanilla solution is already a functional solution. Literally no need for `transduce pipe map over lens`

I add site:reddit.com, or simply ‘reddit’ to many of my subjective searches (when I am looking for opinions). It’s not a good solution, but it is better then using Google most of the time.

I hope Google sees this and improves there search engine. If they don’t I hope someone else will.
Sorry but bring a horse to water is more of an analogy for the unitiated and enlightened can he shown and not adopt. In this case they were at the highest level of crypto so not really. I think saying idiot isnt true considering what theyve accomplished in career. Sounds more like core design flaws. People want convenience with finance and hardware wallets arent convenient, so he knowingly sacrificed security for convenience.
Enforcing basic exception safety is trivial, you just have to follow very simple rules.

Enforcing strong exception safety might require some thought, but it's definitely not "a research-level problem".

In any case either of these is miles easier than satisfying the Rust borrow checker, unless you use the cop-out of (A)rc.

Regardless, how the invariants of your objects are maintained in case of operation failure is something you should be thinking of regardless of the language.
There are reasons that e-commerce websites are behind cloudflare and put ip blocks in place:

"The website is being ddosed, a criminal in China has sent us an email demanding a bitcoin payment to stop."

"Ugh, fine put it behind cloudflare"

"We are getting a load of attempts to place orders with stolen card details from Nigerian ip addresses"

"just ip block the whole country, we have already blocked all the commercial vpns and tor exits right?"

"Someone is trying to spider the whole product database from a cheap vps provider and we got more credit card fraud attempts."

"just block all datacenter ip addresses"

System programming doesn't mean kernel and embedded only. The huge portion of C++ programs are running in the user space because one may still want performance benefits, direct access to memory via well-defined struct layout and direct calls to the system libraries to get maximum functionality from the OS. User space programs can handle exceptions.
> “I’m not really a fan of shooters tbh, I’m more into puzzle games.”
> “Oh, I haven’t seen any good puzzle games lately! You have any recommendations?”

This is not how a conversation goes. The typical response would be not to engage about puzzle games, but to tell you in blisteringly mind-numbing detail how great the shooter they're currently playing is and how they got out of a tight situation and blasted the opposition.

Because that's the conversation they want to have with you, and they won't be dissuaded.

I wouldn’t necessarily say it’s entirely selfish. Why do people feel homeowners should effectively subsidize development by letting their value tank?

There can be a lot of selfish, not in my backyard type of behavior, but I think blaming homeowners is not effective.

Most people owning homes these days are having to put everything they have into being able to afford it, and they’re effectively forced to do that due to the market, skyrocketing and ultimately unaffordable rents with terrible living standards, schools, etc. Turning around and tanking their value due to some mega corp wanting to slap an apartment building down isn’t a good strategy.

A lot of urban “designers” just want to put apartments everywhere, but it isn’t a good strategy. It certainly isn’t organic. And most modern apartment buildings are built as cheaply as possible.

All exceptions must be caught to satisfy lifetime invariants in multi-threaded contexts.
You don't need exceptions for constructors. You can just use static factory functions with an error return as Rust does, and dispense with constructors altogether.
Apparently that's what they intended originally. They wanted Morpheus to show a CPU instead of a battery to Neo in that scene. But they decided to not do that, because they thought that the audience would not understand what that is.
Samsung is the perfect example actually. Their TVs ship with a weird Android that breaks half of the Vanilla Android features. So do their Phones and Watches.

Recently I got a new dishwasher and wasn't surprised to read that the controls of Samsung dishwashers can be somewhat weird and quality is questionable as well.
Poorer countries are likely to have a heavily-young population pyramid? Less likely to have lots of long-range travel?

No, you do have to worry about that too in Unsafe Rust if you want to achieve memory safety. (If you're writing only Safe Rust then probably not, but then that also applies to C++ if you're adhering to the rule of zero and extensively use the STL containers for all your memory allocation needs.)

Exceptions do exist in Rust, and you do need to catch it explicitly at the FFI boundary. [1][2] And the programmer needs to take care their abstractions are safe with stack unwinding when writing any kind of unsafe code in Rust. (For an example: [3])

Just wondering what has happened to this blog writer, no context none specific post…

I mean how can you state a statistics without defining scope and scenarios. By writing this article, he might have been mean to those who has challenge in life that he didn’t even aware of or appreciate. Does this count him/her as those 5% as well? Surely this can’t be a black and white discussion.
We should be welcoming 2003 into the public domain. Most popular works from that year have made millions of dollars in profit, and are commonly cited as part of pop culture. There is no reason for us to continue placing these obscene restrictions on their distribution or derivative use.
Maybe with a portable fusion reactor we might have chance to pull it off practically I think.
Having read through the comments and tried standard notes I can see why users might have been disappointed going from native to this web implementation.

I recently went through the process of switching to a web stack from a native iOS stack when it came time to support Android with one of my apps (https://getradiant.app/) and my biggest concern was making it feel a near as possible to the native app it was replacing and having it perform as well as possible on older Android devices. It turned out quite well and I’ve never had a user complain about the transition.

The trick to my mind was to treat web dev like mobile dev. Focus on bundle size, load speed and fluidity within the confines of a mobile environment. Constantly compare what you’re building to a native app. Probably focus on SPA over SSR/MPAs. And remember, if you apply all of the above to much less restrictive desktop browser environment with a much higher performance ceiling, the experience is going to be pretty good.

TLDR; think small, think fast and start with the most constrained environment you’re targeting, usually mobile, usually older Android. If you understand the limitations and considerations of browser engines when taking into account the above, the rest will follow and you’re going to have a good time.
I'd rather Microsoft spent developer time on useful stuff and not updating dialogs.

I dislike when people think incorrectly and then say “thinking doesn’t work”. In this case the final step of the 6 step argument chain is just incorrect thinking. The conclusion does not follow from the “axioms” / accepted “prepositions”.
