I'm European ESL but don't come to much contact with European English speakers, because it's, like, objectively hard to understand and dissonant for me. I am fine with American, British, Irish, etc accents but I've had to interact with a French woman speaking (bad) English on an exchange thing and it was one of the more excruciating things I've experienced. Similarly many youtubers who have, presumably, interesting content but strong, unbearable accents (Anton Petrov comes to mind). This is why I'm asking. I just physically can't listen to the Inigo guy, it's like nails on a chalkboard. Am I supposed to, just, NOT feel that, to not be somehow rude? I think Inigo, as an aspiring public person should work on his accent instead.

Also flagged? I'm seriously confused.
Does it actually matter? I might be overlooking something but...

Slack is more than its code. The product is really the aggregate of their engineer's knowledge and internal processes. It's not practical to steal code and build a business or spinoff product around it.

The only legitimate threat seems to be the potential for exploitation. I suppose this might also threaten any backend improvements (economic leverage) they made with proprietary algorithms.
> A long pause between "places" and "wild", to me, signals their dis-association, that "wild" does not link with "places"

But that long pause is still way shorter than the pauses at actual periods! Look at the waveform[0]: the ovals are the periods, the rectangle is the pause between "places" and "wild". I guess due to the length of the pauses at the actual periods, my brain automatically discards the possibility of "all places. Wild!" and then the best interpretation clearly is "all places wild" for me.

But hey, the fact that at least two people interpreted it differently says something. Maybe this was more of a faceplant than I initially realized.

I don't like to run my code on someone else's machine either, but having a separate build system allows you to run full, long running tests while you continue with your work.

I can see why you would use GitHub actions if you already host your code there, but I don't feel comfortable sharing my signing keys
I don't think I will ever need 8K.

When I got a 1920x1200 display in circa 2004 that was pretty beast but I could still see pixels, I knew it could be better in theory even if it was already so much better than what else was on the market.

However when 4K IPS and especially the latest generation of 4K OLEDs came along I realised at my viewing distances (and my degrading eyesight) I'm never going to see another pixel again.

So for me I don't see what 8K is going to do for me. OLED with it's perfect blacks and awesome peak brightness and fast refresh times haven't left me wishing for much other than a GPU that can keep up.

Thanks! Much more interesting. Some details of the paper's claims that I enjoyed:

- the system was stable over (i.e. their dataset covers) thousands of years

- it has been formerly proposed that these markings represent lunar calendar data but not generally accepted by scholars. No further details on difference from their proposal or why the former proposal was rejected.

- they hypothesise a lunar calendar that begins with spring. It just kinda fizzles out during winter when there are no particularly interesting "dates". hus it isn't disturbed by the lack of synchronization between lunar and solar cycles.
Excellent. Can I take a ride in your time machine too? Does it only go in time or both time and space? How accurately you can aim with it?

1. If Linus did a hard-right turn and was doing the right-wing news tour doing transphobic shit, MS and GitHub wouldn't bat an eye

2. If Linus kept a repo of anti-trans poetry or some shit on his GitHub, then yeah he'd quite possibly get booted off

This isn't about GitHub being against what they think "AUTOMATIC1111" as a person believes, this is just about what they had on GitHub, and whether GH considered it against their TOS.
You're right about power usage but why would i care how much my TV weighs? I don't regularly have to carry it and if you're moving once every few years it doesn't matter is a tv is 100 lbs or 10 lbs.
I think the equation changed recently. Many more gigs, because so less people are playing an instrument to a certain level nowadays. Here in Hamburg Germany (with a population of 1.8m) there are maybe like two good pianists. It's actually relatively easy to earn money with music through concerts nowadays.
You have missed the more important aspect of a private tracker. A torrent may have been created and shared via a public tracker as well as a private tracker ... however given the boring nature of some files, the number of people sharing via public trackers and even DHT (shown) can be non existent after even a few months (some torrent clients are better than others and ymmv) ... and from my experience don't do a very good job for rare or one off file shares, of discovering and then linking a seed or peer to another peer. However if a member of a private club / tracker of like minded individuals which is likely to be a smaller community, given its specialisation in a certain interest and guidelines to ensure members share many times, there's a much higher likelihood of an active file share that won't be found any where else.

It might be that human brains can only do so much physics, which is a tiny subset of all the physics there is.

It’s amazing upright apes can figure out the speed of light or postulate and find the Higgs Boson in the first place.

How much physics do we expect the smartest dog in the world to do? What if we 10x’d its lifespan?

At some point either:

1. There is no more physics

2. We build beings that can do physics that we can’t

3. We’re stopped dead in our tracks at the limit of our ability to comprehend things that apes weren’t built to comprehend
It also seems unlikely that a patent clerk, even one with a PhD in physics, would be allowed to publish in a physics journal today. The gatekeeping has gotten a lot more strict.
The last release of Navigator was in the 90s. There were still Netscape branded browsers after that but it wasn’t called Navigator. However the market share Netscape had at that point was virtually nothing compared to Microsoft/IE and nearly all sites were written to support IE. For all intents and purposes Microsoft had won the browser wars.

His point was that the comment was unclear if you'd also read it hastily :-)

I imagine his logic was something like: "How can OOMs happen less often if you run more processes (possibly on the same machine)?", while your comment actually wants to say: "if a specific service is affected by an OOM, with microservices only that specific microservice goes down, since it's probably running on its own hardware".

I think the premise of your question is wrong. My reading of OP's comment is not that people have no agency, or that willpower is not a learnable skill.

My reading of OP's comment is that for some people, it is easy to lose weight. For others it is hard. I agree with this (while still saying that I believe that people have agency over their own weight and that willpower is a learnable skill).

There is no doubt that being fat or not fat is absolutely a function of how much you eat (and to a lesser extent, exercise), and that how much you eat is a function of willpower.

The question is the other parts of the functions. For some people, they can eat as much as they like without getting fat. Others get fat eating less than average.

For some people, it takes a lot of willpower to eat less. For others, it takes less willpower. Someone who's 5'5" will have a harder time becoming a pro-basketball player than someone who's 6'5". Doesn't mean they can't do it with a lot of effort and willpower.

So no changes of mind are needed, the answer to your question is 'no', because I already believe that willpower is learnable (and if I understand correctly, so does OP).
"Easily treatable" is indeed a bit of a stretch, but the cancer variant Jobs suffered from (pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor) seems to have a ~61% five-year survival rate, so that's significantly better. If you're going to get pancreatic cancer, that's the variant you want to choose.

Did his choices hasten his death? At least one oncologist thinks that "the end result would probably have been the same"[1]:

"Had he been operated on then, would most likely would have happened is that Jobs’ apparent survival would have been nine months longer but the end result would probably have been the same. None of this absolves the alternative medicine that Jobs tried or suggests that waiting to undergo surgery wasn’t harmful, only that in hindsight we can conclude that it probably didn’t make a difference. At the time of his diagnosis and during the nine months afterward during which he tried woo instead of medicine, it was entirely reasonable to be concerned that the delay was endangering his life, because it might have been. It was impossible to know until later—and, quite frankly, not even then—whether Jobs’ delaying surgery contributed to his death. Even though what I have learned suggests that this delay probably didn’t contribute to Jobs’ death, it might have. Even though I’m more sure than I was before, I can never be 100% sure. Trust me when I say yet again that I really, really wish I could join with the skeptics and doctors proclaiming that “alternative medicine killed Steve Jobs,” but I can’t, at least not based on the facts as I have been able to learn them."

In context of stable diffusion it’s something that would be extremely difficult to generate, and therefore a good example in a prompt-crafting class.

I’d say it’s an odd choice, except there are also plenty of others.

> previewing shrinks the interface each time.

I don't think it's intended and I'm failing to reproduce the issue you mentioned in Firefox 108. Maybe report a bug to the mailing list?

> The ticket writing interface is pretty lackluster...

I think this simplicity is intentional, and as an old folk, I actually dig that look. Having almost no JS around (I failed to find any so far) is also nice from my point of view.

Being composed a lot of parts feels chunky sometimes, but being able to compose projects out of repos, and having free-hanging repos without projects is also a great plus from my point of view. It fits how I work perfectly.

> It's also pretty slow, not sure if it has global hosting.

It's currently hosted in a single server in the US, but it will be moved to Europe (Netherlands I assume) to a more powerful infrastructure, so the speed will recover.

At the end of the day, while it's not perfect, it's perfect for me, my mindset and philosophy today. I'm a happy paying customer. Also Drew listens feedback and answers frankly, which I like a lot.

As a guitarist who plays both classical and electrical guitar, I must say that I side with the theory that both instruments are more different than they are alike.

Sure, you can play more or less the same things on both instruments, and anybody who plays electrical will be able to do something on an acoustic guitar and vice versa. But anybody who plays acoustic guitar will also be able to do something on a lute, a mandolin or heck even on a double bass. You will also be able to use your guitar to sound like an organ, a flute, or a synthesizer, with sufficient effect pedals.

For me what makes an instrument is the music it lends itself easily. Give a five year old who never played before an acoustic guitar with fresh strings and an electric guitar plugged into an amp and they will do completely different things with it, because the instruments lend itself to different things. Ironically an electric guitar can be much more direct, because you will hear every slight tiny movement of your fingers amplified. An acoustic guitar (with fresh strings) can be extremely articulate, but you have to put in more energy to produce these sounds.

I certainly see the amplifier as part of the instrument with the electrical guitar, and that alone makes a ton of difference between the two.

Object Oriented Programming vs. Functional Programming
With IPv6, you can have all public IPs (the same as early days of IPv4). However, if you have apps that are tightly coupled and often with strict latency requirements such as Web <-> DB, then it's better to communicate only over private links. You can control latency and you have better reaction time when something breaks down. That is in addition to security concerns.

I remember a failure of one transatlantic line that was used for one direction of packets we were sending between EU and US. I spent a night on a phone trying to convince AWS and our other datacenter operator to work around the problem by changing their routing and to push the backbone operator to fix the problem - we didn't have any relationship with the backbone of course.

You don't want such disruption to happen in a core part of your app. These disruptions can also be intermittent and "random" and you have no way to fix.
> but was it lord Kelvin who said, physics just needs to figure out the ultraviolet catastrophe and it's done?

This is apparently a common misconception regarding a lecture given by Lord Kelvin in 1900 concerning "two clouds" in physics.[1] In fact, Max Planck solved the ultraviolet catastrophe, also in 1900, by assuming electromagnetic radiation can only be emitted or absorbed in discrete packets of energy called quanta. Albert Einstein also solved the ultraviolet catastrophe in a paper he published in 1905, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1922, by, as always, standing on the shoulders of giants, hypothesizing that Planck's quanta were actual particles. These particles are known today by a word coined by physical chemist Gilbert Newton Lewis in a letter to Nature in 1926, namely, photons.

I have used TTS for books for years. It might be jarring the first time but you get used to it very quickly, I don't even think about it. I actually prefer it to my Audible books usually because it doesn't ever do anything to annoy me like some narrators, and I can understand it at whatever speeds. There are some dialogue heavy books where I have to read along though to be sure of who is talking.
The “old fashioned” way of doing that would be to just have some base images and init scripts running on vms with a load balancer.

That will scale a small number of containerized services just as readily as kubernetes and will have a lot less moving parts.

Where a more robust container orchestration system shines is when you have many disparate teams deploying disparate workloads and need to encode conventions around things like networking, service discovery and security policies.
Briefly? Still a thing.
> (50 x 100mm blades == 1 x 50m blade)

You’re off by a factor of ten. 50m is 50,000mm, or 500 × 100mm.

That "calorie is a calorie", or "every calorie counts", is not a basic dietary knowledge, it's a myth/lie promoted by a food industry.

You can keep believing the ads, or just search the term in google/duckduckgo and spend 5
minutes reading different sources.

Just a few examples (first link from a search engine):

"Fiber. You eat 160 calories in almonds, but you absorb only 130. The fiber in the almonds delays absorption of calories into the bloodstream, delivering those calories to the bacteria in your intestine, which chew them up. Because a calorie is not a calorie.

Protein. When it comes to food, you have to put energy in to get energy out. You have to put twice as much energy in to metabolize protein as you do carbohydrate; this is called the thermic effect of food. So protein wastes more energy in its processing. Plus protein reduces hunger better than carbohydrate. Because a calorie is not a calorie.

Fat. All fats release nine calories per gram when burned. But omega-3 fats are heart-healthy and will save your life, while trans fats clog your arteries, leading to a heart attack. Because a calorie is not a calorie.

Sugar. This is the "big kahuna" of the "big lie." Sugar is not one chemical. It's two. Glucose is the energy of life. Every cell in every organism on the planet can burn glucose for energy. Glucose is mildly sweet, but not very interesting (think molasses). Fructose is an entirely different animal. Fructose is very sweet, the molecule we seek. Both burn at four calories per gram. If fructose were just like glucose, then sugar or high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) would be just like starch. But fructose is not glucose. Because a calorie is not a calorie."
Well if there was a person called "disfigured feet" who was Jewish, and you always referred to their name in triple-parens (and for some reason you repeatedly tweeted a bunch of Jewish people, always with the triple-parens) then yes this would be an good indication that you were using it as an anti-semitic dogwhistle.

However the GP was careful to note that context is important here. I've no idea about term weights in these AI prompts, but you seem to so if varying levels of parenthesis is common to denote a weight then you can simply say so without the snark.
