Had not tried Midjourney, probably as I dont usually bother with discord. Just tried it out and while the results are probably better than anything I had before, there are a lot of weird things going on (per my usual experience) that dont seem to appear in examples other peoples use and def not in the topic post; distorted faces, extra body parts, weird 'deformities', proportions etc... Here are both variations and upscales of the same prompt (-> which is probably my issue?). This was without reading the 'tips' or looking through /r/StableDiffusion yet. It still really seems like prompting is an art form and skill that really needs to be learned, or atleast have the skills to touch-up the images.

And if your workload is FP and nicely parallelizes and fits in 12 GB or less than you might be able to get that kind of performance for the price of a high end GPU + a box to stick it in. GPUs are insanely cost effective for problems that match their geometry. So much so that it can be worth thinking about it for a little while to see if you can make it fit.

Tangential, but I’d forgotten until this piece: I worked for a desktop publishing company in the late 80s that naturally ran on Macs. The owners decided they should find out what PCs could do so they ordered one and had me buy a copy of DOS.

After much frustration we discovered that we had PC-DOS but needed MS-DOS (or vice versa).

As far as I know no one got much further than installing the OS; the system seemed dramatically inferior at the time.

Not the OP but the courses I took on operating systems (writing a simple one, in C) have yielded lessons that I've used throughout my career. If you can find a course too challenge you, and it's taught well, that should provide a ton of the learning that us old neckbeards couldn't avoid back in the day.

Forcing yourself to use barebones languages and environments is good too. Hacking on ancient machines or targeting embedded hardware is another good way to get a better intuition on the order of magnitude performance differences of various approaches.

Reading about promising tech of the past is also useful: prolog, Smalltalk, etc. Lots of inspiring and fruitful lessons to mine there.

If you follow my posts, I have dealt with this issue many times. For example, pollution. The leftist viewpoint is using the banhammer along with the government micromanaging it with regulations. The free market viewpoint is to "internalize the externalities" by taxing the pollution.

If you're limited to using public data, I struggle to see how it'd be possible to disambiguate the "bribe" case from the other, typical reasons why rule enforcement is occasionally inconsistent.

I do agree that at least some mods have been successfully bribed by external forces, but I don't see how it's Reddit-the-company's job to police commercial activity, nor does it seem to be actually illegal.
I think it really depends. Sometime you want to have control over the process, and if you have experience building authentication before i would recommend doing it yourself rather than working with an abstraction defined by a library. I have seen first hand with tools like fusion auth when you hit the situation which cannot be resolved while adding more complexity to your product, I would rather start building it into the product than increasing the product complexity and working with an abstraction you dont have control over. Again take advice with grain of salt.
Depending on your bank, Anbox or Waydroid may help you run your bank's app on your Linux device. Probably a no-go for most banks, but worth a shot to see if it'll work. You can just try it out on a Linux computer/VM first, no need to actually buy a Linux phone just to end up disappointed.

One of the great things about Elixir is that it encourages you to think of your application as the code that executed the purpose of your system and everything else as an interface to it.

So a web interface, an API interface, a CLI interface, etc are all treated the same way since the code doing the work isn’t tightly integrated to any of them.

From that perspective, Elixir can be great for CLI.
The downside is proportional to pocket size. If you’re a rando Tik Toker or YouTuber, you have nothing to take (or so little, you can round down to zero). A production company has assets or capitalization at risk, hence the legal dance around releases.

There are some advantages of Pijul over Git

- Worries only about patches, not about snapshots too
- Only a few commands to learn. No complex switches
- Combines many git approaches in one. For example:
- pijul record (its commit) is an interactive code selection at the same time.
- Merges and rebases are all the same (due to the way commits are linked)

Doesn't this violate strict aliasing? E.g. what if we do this?

void foo(struct_a *a, struct_b *b) { a->x = 0; b->x += 1; a->x = 0; }

Strict aliasing allows the compiler to elide the second a->x = 0. But if we use your inheritance scheme using casting of pointers, we could have a == b.

> My own theory of what's actually going on here is that Tether is intentionally obtuse, because it allows them to make seignorage profits against their own users.

From https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-12-14/hedge-fun...:

> Tether concealed the loss of more than $850 million of reserves to a Panamanian entity called Crypto Capital Corp. as recently as 2018, the New York Attorney General found. In a separate case, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission found Tether didn’t have enough fiat reserves to back circulating tokens more than two-thirds of the time, in a period between 2016 and 2018.

so it's more than just being obtuse.

I don't think they're playing with the trust of their own stablecoin to get cheap USDT, it'd be better for them to be more trustworthy and have more USD to invest in safe investments with low interests, but they're probably losing some market share to more trustworthy (US-based) stablecoins because of how shady they look.
Yeah, I feel like “C in a C++ Compiler” is a respectable decision for reasons similar to what you describe.
It's the concept of an ORM itself, which is a mapping from OOP to relational algebra, both concepts that don't change much between implementations. You have a relational DB with a nice powerful interface already. The ORM tries to abstract that way with a not-so-compatible OOP interface that enforces mediocre schema design.

On the practical side, it's common for a system to start needing more impl-specific database optimization eventually, at which point the ORM gets in the way even more. The ORM is ok for small projects, but so is SQL.

CoreData is only especially bad because it's confusing to use on top of that. I've used the Django auto-CRUD too.
> People often miss that "omg high interest rate" for a few days translates into a very little expense in absolute terms

That is assuming crypto rates are like USD bank rates.

Do you know any structural reason the rates can’t spike to a Megapercent (annualised) rate or higher? If you are being charged interest, and the rate spikes, you could lose your collateral quite quickly (and it seems likely trading would be stopped so you might not even be able to close out).
On the contrary: I myself have implemented these better operations, and they work great. They also exist in some other VCSes, such as Mercurial and Jujutsu. You can see the `git-branchless` column in the table for comparison with the other clients.

- You cannot undo arbitrary operations with the reflog (nor with `git reset`). See https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Architecture#.... Besides those points, my `git undo` can even undo some working copy changes: https://github.com/arxanas/git-branchless/wiki/Command:-git-...
That sounds like a dystopian nightmare that is incompatible with private ownership of anything.
aye - however I'd imagine if Jamie Dimon wrote the S-1 it would have gone through at the original valuation. The core claim of the investors was ultimately that WeWork would be the primary demand aggregator for commercial real estate - giving it extreme leverage over landlords and tenants. The second component for the claim was that WeWork would make commercial real estate business's look better on paper if they could have wework as a tenant, particularly if WeWork continued to take losses for multiple years. WeWork's business model was also somewhat unique in it's ability to handle higher interest rates in the future thanks to it's short-term leases.

I can't imagine that Jamie Dimon and others couldn't have written the S-1 convincingly in 2019 when interest rates approximated 0. The problem was that the S-1 was not written for finance professionals, and made an investment in the vision appear foolish. On the other hand... Uber's was, and Uber was able to successfully IPO despite similarly dire financials.

The industrial revolution was even worst is not exactly argument for "average lowly peasant life was better then ours". It just means other (otherwise short) period was even worst.

I also track my dotfiles in a Git repo, but I only track my home directory. Made a tool to help out with some of the more arcane commands: https://github.com/tubbo/homer. I'm currently rewriting it in Rust, which is mostly done but I still have to work out a couple kinks on Linux machines . So far, I haven't needed to mess with too many top-level configs on each machine, most of the stuff I do is relatively contained (and uses the XDG standards thankfully). It got a little hairy when I tried to configure certain file paths on both a Linux and macOS environment, as there are different default conventions and other nuances that make the two not fully compatible at times. But it definitely saves a lot of time when setting up a new machine from scratch, `homer bootstrap $REPO_URL` does all the hard work and gets my home directory loaded up with configuration the way I'd expect.
The Art of Reflection
I guess most people who looked at crypto had that idea, and most people who thought about for more than a short moment probably came to similar conclusions as the OP (if you do it, do it through DeFi, and ideally only with what's probably play money for them). One thing they didn't mention that someone who just wants to play around should keep in mind is that you might incur tax reporting obligations.

On the technical point: USDT isn't used as collateral in the protocol, apparently, so the main risk is that other assets in the collateral pool like Ether drop so sharply that the liquidation mechanism can't keep up / that the price oracles get messed up. That's a known unknown, there are also unknown unknown, eg bugs/unexpected behavior in the protocol. There's also the question whether/how you'd be able to convert your crypto holdings back into fiat dollars at that point (most centralized exchanges might be in trouble, with USDC you need to create a business account with Circle, but still seems like a feasible off-ramp).
I took the long road after graduating with a mechanical engineering degree in 2012 and working in industry. I quickly realized that engineering often meant executing and not strategizing, which frustrated me to no end. I learned that being right was secondary to making people above you look intelligent. So much of what drives action at larger orgs revolves around a small group of people with their own special social dynamics, opinions, and egos.

As others have indicated an MBA would give you the language and credibility most orgs require to get into "business" positions. I do not feel the actual coursework is needed to understand the concepts and theories that have meaning for any given org. Businesses largely want growth, diversity, innovation, cost cutting, and future profitability. But I swear you could shortcut all that for just making the primary business stakeholders happy. Whatever they care about, what they perceive, what their goals are, that is what makes or breaks your position.

Being able to present ideas is key. I got a lot out of some of the MIT open course material [1]. I am certain some exploration on that channel for the business topics will yield more excellent content. Soft skills often separate talented and business minded engineers from the business side of the org. I cannot stress how little being "right" actually matters once you get into business. I have to constantly make forecasts as a product manager and often have frighteningly little to work with in terms of data. Capture assumptions, build out strategy, believe your story. You will be wrong sometimes. Being able to check your own ego, guide an org towards what you believe is right, and dealing with a bunch of different people who all think their view is the right view all play into it. I love the challenge and enjoy seeing my contribution play out. Would highly suggest it for those who enjoy those sorts of challenges.
