Yes, Northvolt tried building their factory further south in Sweden (Västerås) but was denied due to limited grid capacity. Turns out they were somewhat lucky, since electricity prices are cheaper furter north, and the energy crisis happened!
China has the world's 2nd largest navy, by any metric that makes sense.

It's only the largest if you count the number of ships, counting every ship equally. Counting a small coastal patrol boat the same as an aircraft carrier is manifestly absurd. China currently has 3 aircraft carriers, only one of which is a "supercarrier" on par with American carriers. The US has 11 supercarriers. One could make similar comparisons with nuclear-powered submarines and many other types of ships.

Overall tonnage is a better metric: the Chinese navy weighs about 1.3 tons, while the US navy weighs about 4.5 million tons. Of course, there are many other factors beyond this one-dimensional metric, but this nevertheless gives you an idea of the large gap between the US and Chinese navies.

China is catching up with the US quickly, because of China's growing industrial might, but it will still take decades to reach full parity.
You're right, I misread your comment. I thought that you said that steam engines weren't initially mainly used in coal mines.

I would say "honesty is the best policy" you should always talk to your boss and check if your wishes and capabilities/experience are aligned.
On top of what other people have said about parallelism overheads, you normally need more data to train a bigger network and the training time is roughly proportional to network size * training data.

IIRC OpenAI used a million times more data to train GPT3 than karpathy used in this video, so a naive estimate would be that it would take about 20 billion times more compute. This is could be a significant overestimate since Karpathy probably used each bit of the training set more times than openAI did.
Yeah I'm not using generics and they're a big turn off.
If Rust wasn't so ugly and the JVM so Swiss-cheesy and stuck in paradigms, I would switch.

Even on Windows and Mac (don't know about Linux) when browsing, you sometimes can't take screenshot of a portion on the website (only seen this with videos, though).

We are not allowed to take a screenshot on a device we own, for content we paid for. What a world.
> It's actually timely for me, as I just started using Glasswire with a clean ruleset. As I'm typing this, freakin' explorer.exe asked for network access to an outside IP address. It's hard to disallow explorer.exe network access as I won't be able to access SMB shares without it, but I have no idea why it would go outside my network.

I don't know glasswire, but on Commodo firewall you can set a rule to allow access to your local network by default (or any range of IPs) and ask about external access, which would be a way to solve your problem with explorer.
Hey dude, would you mind shooting me an email too?
Hmm, it depends really, if you manage to fill everything required correctly, by some miracle, it's not bad. There can be a lot of frustrations if you're missing something though.

It's actually an accessibility feature. In Ventura, go to System Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control. There you'll find Dragging Style. Options are 'Without Drag Lock', 'With Drag Lock' and 'Three-Finger Drag'. It works exactly as you think; use three finger touch to drag anything.

I wonder how much RSS/Atom has driven the chronological feed to become such a fundamental building block in website design.
>Is it fast though? I’d rather fill out 10 forms and get a definitive answer in two weeks than fill out one form and wait up to a year for the definitive answer like in the UK.

Of course not.

It is more like 2-3 forms and no definitive answer (more probably a single, non definitive one) in 6 months time, then another couple forms and hopefully a definitive one in another 6-12 months.

Seriously, there is not any "standard", some things are (or have become) incredibly (compared to previous Italian bureaucracy) easy and straightforward, some have become much worse than before.
Super easy on iOS.
"Safe" has gradually shifted in meaning because of the internet. Since interactions are limited to words and reactions it ended up generally meaning "don't upset anybody" for commercial and political reasons. For this reason ChatGPT refuses to write a fiction story in which somebody dies even though death is part of even some children stories. It hurts no one of course, but you can bet some people will be upset and start a controversy.

And in general this influence of the internet has reversed "actions speak louder than words". Textile companies support minorities with social media posts and printed tshirts while using factories with abused underage workers in underdeveloped countries. IT companies support the left side of politics while avoiding paying taxes. And so on. There's a huge and interesting discussion about this but is of in this case quite off-topic.
When I see someone executing on my ideas I marvel at how multiple people can come up with the same idea independently, and I am reminded to execute on a future idea immediately or accept that somebody else will.

IMHO a good idea is not enough. It needs to be a good idea for you (for your situation, expertise). Without knowing you at all, reading about trading options to finance an idea seems like a red flag. Maybe there is a more approachable idea out there that is perfect for you.

I lately had an idea: Why did the industrial revolution start in the UK? Coal mining was probably a factor. But why in the UK? Coal deposits are abundant in other places as well. But the UK has cold, rainy winters. Coal is good for heating, not only for industrial purposes, like smelting metal. Trees have mostly been cut down by that time. I think they used them for ship building. So if you have the coal mining already there, the other steps are more likely to happen.
Sometimes, or maybe many times even, it boils down to lack of prerequisite knowledge. Most classes simply do not hammer down how important prerequisites are, and how easy it is for students to get stuck simply because they haven't read enough of the required topics.

Of course - if you are a very high-IQ individual, you sheer intellect can get you by. I know such people, that have been able to solve problems without previous knowledge, simply by going at it with logic and pattern recognition.

But if you're average, that's not going to be the case.

I've been a TA, and seen students jump from severely underperforming, to becoming A students - because they finally understood something / had the "Aha!" moment in something which kept them back.

Do you think it's bad? IMO it should offer help to people in their lowest moments if it can instead of convincing them that suicide might be good idea. I think given that it still should give answer but I would like to get compelling argument why such bias is bad.
I've been working on something somewhat similar for producing legal documents, called Linked Markdown (https://linked.md). So the section about modules/importing and dynamic references really rang a bell. Very cool stuff, will keep track of progress.
The other answer to your question seemed to me to have guessed wrong what you're concerned about. My guess is that like a lot of non-experts, your thought was "Why do we need this CA role?" and that, fortunately, is something where I can appeal to your intuitions rather than needing some mathematical proof about cryptography you won't understand.

This is about identity. How can we (and everybody else) agree on the identity of something? Is "Chris Pratt" the movie guy we've both heard of, or is it some Belgian guy's friend's brother you met once at a party? The Screen Actors Guild insists its members all have distinct names so you can tell them apart. If your real name is Clint Eastwood and you go into acting, too bad change it or you won't be allowed to work on most stuff with union rules. You don't need a legal change of name (although if you're a serious actor you might decide it's less bother to get one) but you must use a name distinct from those already in use in the industry.

Naturally there can't be some objective "truth" to a name. People may say "She looks like a Deborah" but that's not really how it works - when we find someone in a coma with no ID we don't go "Oh, he looks like a Jim Smith, of 420 Springfield Crescent", we have to put out a public appeal with photos. If I show you a web page it may look like Wikipedia, but I can trivially do that myself, so the real Wikipedia is the one everybody agrees on, and if for some reason we all agreed tomorrow that's not Wikipedia, it wouldn't be.

So, with no objective truth† we have to instead have an authority, and for everybody's convenience we should all trust at least roughly the same authorities, so we're all agreed about who we're talking about

† We can use cryptography to "assign" things names, but these names aren't very satisfactory, that's how Tor's private services work, which is why they have ugly names like facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjbiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion -- notice that all those letters are crucial, facebookwkhpilnemxj7asaniu7vnjjxiltxjqhye3mhbshg7kx5tfyd.onion is one letter different and would be a different Tor service not operated by Facebook.
Yes, I have. I've talked about it here [0] and here [1] . The difference being that it was a complete career change. Pay went down about $12K which was considerable for a family of 4. In the end it was worth it and I'd do it again.

If you are not happy then I think it is worth moving "down". Worrying about financial safety is important but what about your mental health?

My vote is to seriously consider the move and try to figure out a way to make it work moving "down".

For 90% of people there's two UI options

1) a button to let them get where they want to go

2) A button which doesn't let them get where they want to go
The one thing?

Actually caring about the activity, if I care about what I'm doing everything improves cognitively.
I'm not sure I have any idea what you're talking about, and I remember the 90s. Do you have a more concrete example, e.g. a picture of these things?
There are already several models "in the wild" designed specifically to produce anime-styled "adult material". In Stable Diffusion for image generation, NSFW filtering is basically a post-processing step that can be disabled in a single line of code. I'm sure someone has already done it for Chat* models as well.
Whatever could go wrong with that, lol

But I habe to admit this is impressive and production ready.

I certainly can use more visibility.

I was not claiming Tailscale has to be trustworthy.

Though, thinking about it, it's a privileged software running on every node in the virtual network, that is controllable from outside (cloud). So yeah, it needs to be way more trustworthy than some static wireguard setup you setup on a VPS.
Actually iPython started as a better Python shell, seems most people have forgotten these origins. The Jupyter notebook was born out of the same project and quickly replaced the shell as it obviously had much more possibilities for visualization and interactivity. If you have Jupyter installed you'll also have iPython. To run it, simply type

This is incredible! Just a couple of things.

The first time I opened it the app worked fine. But now it just says “loading”. I’d debug more if I wasn’t on mobile.

This is the UI that's recommended by PiMoRoNi for things like their Wireless Plasma Kit: https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/wireless-plasma-kit?varia...

I hadn't even heard of it before I purchased one of the above (I'm well versed in just using vim or PyCharm), but it seems great for newbies. Things like this need to exist - UIs like PyCharm are overwhelming for starter programmers.
It works pretty good, nice alternative to https://quillbot.com/grammar-check
Typically what I do is I go back to my emails and check that I didn't accidentally subscribe to them, or I send an email to them to ask them to unsubscribe me from their service as I subscribed in error.

To be honest though Paypal can be a bit poopy at times and it does seem like quite a few people have had the same experience, but typically I find that if I try to dispute the payment outside of Paypal by trying to talk to the service itself first. That seems to solve the problem quicker than trying to dispute it through Paypal.
Does pgadmin have drag and drop to import files? So often I have a few parquet or CSVs from various sources (e.g. S3) and need to quickly summarize or join them. Quick imports and summarization is one thing I've always found painful in most tools.
I just realised that Gnome 3.3 has the feature equivalent to Spotlight. At least for Math expressions. Pretty cool.
I love this kind of introduction to "simple" formats! Thanks for sharing.

Always a good insight to know how the basic concepts of these work without needing hours of learning deep specific knowledge that you'd only spend if you had to work directly with the format, like if you're writing a png lib.
Working on them does not mean they will be able to solve them, or even to contribute to solving them.
Im a bit frustrated with this. I say this as a big fan of tailscale, having promoted them in various places.

Granted, you cant enumerate the ids, but neglecting permissions when adding a node seems like a really stupid oversight.

May I suggest that Tailscale spend some time to double-check that they are applying access control where applicable throughout all aspects of the application.

I appreciate the feedback on this vulnerability, and will continue to be a happy user - but please check that these oversights dont exist elsewhere.

Prey tell, how do you live? How would you in practice have your children and other family members live? If you're even moderately well off, very little if nothing stops you from seeking exactly the life you idealize in your comment. Resources for learning all its hard tricks and labors abound (largely due to the very same capitalist-fed internet of commodified information sharing that you disdain). But by all means, decide for hundreds of millions of subsistence farmers that their lives of toil were preferable to the things generations of them strove for despite "having to" consume more.
I have a ThinkPad X1 Carbon gen 3 (2015) running Windows 10 with the Synaptics drivers. Thank you for the info on Linux and Windows. Will make sure to enable the acceleration on the laptop.

About the 3-finger drag-and-drop - it used to be on by default. Now you have to enable it manually since 3-finger swipes are bound to Mission Control and Expose. Once you enable it, Mission Control and Expose will be bound to 4-finger swipes. To enable it:

- Go to Settings > Accessibility > Pointer Control > Trackpad Options...

- tick the box 'Enable dragging'

- select 'three finger drag'

Demo:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4LFzxpT8mFk&t=129s

You don't need to worry about running out of space when dragging with 3 fingers - once you start dragging with 3 fingers, you can leave 2 fingers on the trackpad and keep dragging with your 3rd finger.
Yeah I should probably look into it more. Can Comodo's firewall be used standalone, i.e. without its antivirus? What I needed from Glasswire was click-to-allow on each network access, I couldn't find that in any product I tried a few years ago before I decided on Glasswire.
This is interesting but I don't think it's what "broke the web". What really broke it is that those 20-30 million people who would have made hobbyist blogs or posted to forums are now part of the 200million (twitter) or 2 billion+ (FB) who just post on social media instead. Almost nobody is out there blogging about gardening just cause they like the topic, the new gardening content on the web is all SEO driven
Reference sites still exist, Wikipedia isn't organized by reverse-chronological and MediaWiki is a far more formidable CMS than MT ever was.

Same goes for ReadTheDocs, Sphinx, Jekyll, Hugo, or any number of static site generators that power the infinite libraries of documentation, reference material, and personal sites on the web.

What the author is bemoaning is the loss of the eclectic, bespoke, personal-style of homepage that existed in the early web. These sites still exist of course, they're just a much smaller percentage of the content. What the author fails to consider is that this diminished position has nothing to do with the tools, and everything to do with the population of people who were coming online in the early 2000s.

The strangeness and lovable oddities of the early web were a function of the people who populated it. The generic, least common denominator status quo of the now is similarly defined because everyone is online, and so the content distribution reflects that.

Everyone's Eternal September comes at some point, for the author it was October 2001. Internet is full, AOL users go home.

The CA signing provides different levels of validation. DV (Domain validation) certificates require demonstration of control over the dns record(s) to the CA, ensuring the (IP address) server responding to your request has demonstrated control of the domain name by which you addressed it, to the CA.

Let’s say your local dns is poisoned to resolve to a nefarious server at a specific IP address for ss64.com, that server’s certificate won’t be signed by a CA (unless they also controlled ss64.com’s dns records, in which case there would have be no need to poison your local dns). Your connection to this server can still be encrypted via a certificate, but the CA won’t be providing validation of their identity or affiliation with the real ss64.com.
Don't have a diary on me, but seems to me if you fed it some examples it'd work fine on ChatGPT.
These limits come from epidemiologists, so are they scientific?

https://www.theregister.com/2007/10/22/drinking_made_it_all_...

> The UK government's guidelines on how much it is safe to drink are based on numbers "plucked out of the air" by a committee that met in 1987. According to The Times newspaper, the limits are not based on any science whatsoever, rather "a feeling that you had to say something" about what would be a safe drinking level. This is all according to Richard Smith, a member of the Royal College of Physicians working party who produced the guidelines.

> He told the newspaper that doctors were concerned about mounting evidence that heavy long term drinking does cause serious health problems. But that the committee's epidemiologist had acknowledged at the time that there was "no data", and that "it's impossible to say what's safe and what isn't".

UK limits were later lowered, lowered again and then (of course) equalized between men and women even though it was previously recognized that men are physically bigger.
I have to say this is a very clean process. You can watch any video of a person trying sand casting and see how they fail most of the time trying to get it right. These guys do it brilliantly and with very few hands touching the product. Not many facilities have this much attention to their process, especially when they produce something as crude as a manhole cover.
