Single motherhood is not destructive to society. What is destructive to society is single mothers who live in POVERTY. I have a friend who is a single mother, she lives in poverty in a dump and can't break free because she can't get a job that will pay enough for daycare/afterschool. Where we live, the govt set the rules that if you get a part time job they will claw back the income you earn, which means you work and still get to stay in poverty.
Don't know if it counts but Java has done pretty well in my opinion.
A single JAR-file can combine everything you need to run an application or be distributed as a library, and as long as the java command is installed it just works.

Likewise WAR's make it dead simple to add/remove/update applications during runtime.

Of course there are always special cases, but packaging and distribution in the Java world have always been painless to me.

This is the part I don’t understand. In the past decades surveillance tech has become more pervasive, and police funding has continued to increase. Yet the percent of homicides “cleared” by police has dropped from 90% to 50% over the past 50 years. All this surveillance, and somehow police continue getting worse at solving crimes

SMS is still better than no 2FA, but yes, it’s not secure at all.

What really bugs me, that some systems rely only on the 2nd factor, which replaces the password completely. Some even did that with SMS. So you put in you user name and then the SMS code. That’s really bad. Also a lot of Services disguise this method in the „I forgot my password“ function, where you can reset the password just with a sms code.
Select charge-locations with 4+ chargers available, and in the larger charge-locations along motorway/freeway intersections, there's usually chargers from multiple networks/suppliers, so even failures on a backend of one provider can be worked around by using another network.
Doing 2000km this week, I only encountered 1 case where I had to use the 50kw charger, as it was the only one available (there were 2 300kw chargers, 1 in use and 1 in maintenance-mode). Most charge-locations had 4+ available and unused stalls, with various locations having 10+ 150kw+ stations.

Availability can be seen in many charge-apps miles before you get to the location, so if you see it at 75%+ capacity, select a different location.

Strong disagree, and the data backs it up. The single largest predictor of kids having depressions, teen suicide, criminal activity and drug use is being raised by a single mother. You can break the data down by income level and see the dysfunction continues.

I went this route. I replaced Dropbox with nextcloud and various backups with Duplicati on Hetzner a few months ago.

Nextcloud seems to be mature enough to mostly work. The sync issues are worrying but not a deal breaker so far.

As with Dropbox, it has a bunch of unnecessary but kinda neat extras. Except they don't work or don't work well enough to use.

Duplicati and Hetzner was easy and convenient. It seems to work from my non-rigerous tests.

For now, backups and sync for about the same price as Dropbox is a net win for little effort.

I expect that you throw your old car away whenever you get a new one?
Not OP and drive a Tesla. Charging stations are pretty large at least where I live. 10–15 chargers minimum and the Tesla nav system tells you in advance how many are available to use.
I see colleagues that have to choose a new EV and use the EPA rating as an actual distance ("Oh I can drive to Paris in 1 go"). They don't know that you normally don't start from 100%, and you don't go down to 0%. Your 94% range usage is impressive, but not the norm for daily usage. Most people follow their vendor's recommendations for battery longevity.
That repository doesn't seem to pin dependency versions. How do you integrate that in this workflow?
I have a single, simple script (not a package!) that has dependencies. Actually, I have a few of these, just sitting in /usr/local/bin so I can execute them whenever.

How should I be managing environments for these scripts? Do I install dependencies in shared system python? Should I create a shared venv? Where should I store it? Any tools out there that make this decision for you and manage it?

Just the fact that homebrew occasionally updates my installed Pythons and breaks everything makes me reluctant to use Python as a scripting language at all. It's pretty reliable when I have a folder dedicated to a project (poetry is good for this) but I'm pretty fed up with how brittle it all is.
I thought this was a great real world analysis taking many factors into consideration.
There's a lot of math & physics subjects that I formally learned and passed exams at Uni, but frankly never really fully understood them. I've found clarifications on many of these subjects later on web, in exactly these types of blogs or youtube videos. All you need is one or two core concepts better explained and suddenly you can connect all the dots, and that what this type of content is fantastic for.
My favorite KDE versions were KDE 1 and KDE 2.

KDE 3 was fine.

KDE 4 was not a worthy successor to KDE 3 and it was a massive setback with regards to customization.

After that I stopped using KDE.

KDE 3 was polished, KDE 4 looked like developer art.

Not sure why you've been downvoted, you've called out the most likely concern.

Despite the APIs bringing in some money, I doubt they've covered the ad revenue loss, especially in recent years as more and more advertisers started using Twitter at scale, and as more of the world joined Twitter.

The audience using these APIs via Tweetbot, Twitterific, etc, has become an ever smaller percentage of Twitter's userbase. It's probably not even worth the effort to figure out how to better monetize the APIs, given the small audience.

And not everyone is so desperate to avoid the algo timeline that they're willing to pay a 3rd party app.

Personally, I was a Tweetbot user from around 2013 to 2018, but I kept switching over to the first party app more and more, as Twitter started to add more features that weren't available to Tweetbot. And then I discovered I was spending all my time in the first party app anyway because of the algo timeline, so I quit using Tweetbot.

Interesting comment. Note the resistor-same-way thing is mostly no longer applicable (due to the plethora of SMD components and their placement by machine). It remains useful for through-hole components such as large capacitors, however.
It would also prevent the Python in your venv from receiving any updates when the system-wide Python is installed. At that point it's probably easier to just use your own Python installation, e.g. with pyenv.
Designed is a really strong word. The tax free nature of pension contributions come from the near impossibility of otherwise sensibly taxing annuities.

How should a post tax annuity be calculated? The simplest annuities can probably be done (e.g. pay 100k and receive 6k a year til you die). But, if you paid tax on the full 6k that would mean that the 100k was being taxed again. However, tax none of it and that would see no tax on interest because it was being paid through an annuity. That's before one even starts thinking about spousal benefits or inflation linking.

Wanted to compliment this paper for being well written. I'm not a practicing mathematician but I was able to easily follow along here and that was a cool feeling.

Could someone who is a practicing mathematician speak to the practical application of this? From what I understand from reading this seems like an interesting curiosity but the Chudnovsky formula it refers to seems to be better at doing the same thing for any practical purpose.

Trying to build Python under Nix (i.e. solid, not “close enough) is an education in how fucked up the Python packaging ecosystem is.

Which is a shame because Python is an amazing scripting language, the de facto numerical computing standard, and probably a better bash for most bash use cases.
KDE is the desktop environment that finally made me stay on Linux full-time and I seriously feel like its developers don't get enough praise. Especially over the last years I feel like they've ironed out a ton of bugs and weird quirks and made KDE truly a joy to use.

Hi, thanks for the feedback :)

Librewolf is great, I use it everyday. It's mentionned in the "Firefox vs Chrome" drop-down menu, alongside Tor, Ungoogled Chromium & others.

We also mention Mull, Fennec & Bromite for Android. Preferred over DDG, which had some fallouts lately.

Regarding FF – Yes, much tweaking is required to get things right. Yes, Mozilla made some questionable technical choices in the past. Yes, Mozilla Corporation earns most of its revenues from Google. Also yes: in a browser landscape dominated by Google, Firefox currently seems to be the only independent contender worth mentioning.
For things like BERT where you just want to extract an embedding, the naive way you reach full utilization at inference time is that you :

- run tokenization of inputs on CPU

- sort inputs by length

- batch inputs of similar length and apply padding to make of uniform length

- pass the batches through so a single model can process many inputs in parallel.

For GPT-style decoder models however, this becomes much more challenging because inference requires a forward pass for every token generated. (Stopping criteria also may differ but that’s another tangent).

Every generated token performs attention on every previous token, both the context (or “prompt”) and the previously generated tokens (important for self consistency). this is a quadratic operation in the vanilla case.

Model sizes are large , often spanning multiple machines, and the information for later layers depends on previous ones, meaning inference has to be pipelined.

The naive approach would be to have a single transaction processed exclusively by a single instance of the model. this is expensive! even if each model can be crammed into a single A100 , if you want to run something like Codex or ChatGPT for millions of users with low latency inference, you’d have to have thousands of GPUs preloaded with models, and each transaction would take a highly variable amount of time.

If a model spans multiple machines, you’d achieve a max of 1/n% utilization because each shard has to remain loaded while the others process, and then if you want to do pipeline parallelism like in pipe dream, you’d have to deal with attention caches since you don’t want to have to recompute every previous state each time

Yes, it does imply this, because inflation is a supply & demand thing. More money representing the value of goods and services means each dollar is worth less == inflation.

Borrowing using assets as collateral means the money created matches the value of the collateral.
The Tesla app asks you how high the battery should charge (where I choose 80% for daily use), and it will warn you no to take higher than 90% except for sporadic long-distance travelling.
I’d expect increasing convictions and increasing the perceived likelihood of being convicted would both be negatively correlated with future crime levels.
Many Teslas being produced today use lithium-iron phosphate batteries, which can be charged to 100% without degradation. If you have an LFP-based Tesla, you won't get the notification.
The author assumes that all EVs behave like Teslas. Other car manufacturers are aiming for simpler UI, and the charging system itself is meant to deal with the oddities of deciding exactly how much to charge the car to. For instance the often don't show a charge percentage but an estimated range with bounds.

I apologize for not bringing a link but there is a beautiful story of real world range that shows that Teslas are systematically over reporting their range. It was posted recently. The author should probably read it before generalizing...

Just to make people aware, Collegeboard is one of the companies that depends on and fosters the "high education industry" to exist. They create and administer the SATs, which students have to pay a fee to take, and that test is a requirement to apply for admission at most U.S. universities.

They also sell all of the data they acquire from students forced to take this test to colleges and universities.

This is another example of how rotten and corrupt the industry is - they have an incentive to make college seem affordable and any of their sponsored research should automatically be taken with a grain of salt. The author of the parent comment likely knew some or all of this and chose not to disclose it when posting "statistics"
