I will also point out that in the current climate, 'switch easily' isn't a given in software.
Other way around. Of course physics has nothing to do with whether a theorem is true or false - but it has everything to do with whether our universe satisfies that theorem's hypotheses.
Oh, and even back then, Apple always got the cream of the crop.
Immigration will be enough for almost a century at current projections. We have a century to find ways of countering the decline, and any improvement in that respect will make it take even longer before a global decline sets in.

China, for example, is now encouraging three children. Whether that will work or not, we don't yet know. But we'll see increasing number of countries experimenting with encouraging, then likely rewarding, higher number of children. Even a modest reversal of fertility rates will prolong the time to global decline significantly.
The phrase "aren't allowed" supposes some regulatory agency forbidding an action. When it's your own internal policy that contradicts the action, the proper term is "won't".

Jeez, why is there fuel at all?

If you have that much real estate in the lift body, cover it with solar panels. Especially since I figure they would flatten it at some point to get some sort of wing effect as well, but I'm no aero engineer.

But 388m x 78m is 30264 square meters

A 400 watt panel is 2 square meters, assume it's 1/2 yield, so you get six megawatts of power. That sounds... pretty good? Even 3 megawatts?

Again, you could probably flatten it further for more panels.
I don't know about this. If what you're saying is true, strictly speaking, novel thought would be impossible. I think the whole game of thinking is picking a set of existing words and concepts you inherit and independently reasoning through/with them to arrive at novel or useful conclusions. The "thinking for yourself" part is all the thinking that goes on in the gap between the existing ideas and the reasoned conclusions you synthesize with them.
Yeah humidity increases the conductivity of air by reducing the breakdown voltage of air, not by conducting electricity, because it doesn't conduct electricty, because it's an insulator.

Why so you believe that is the purpose of schools?

Why does so much learning and research take place if these are not primary purposes of schools?
I hadn't looked at that one. It looks very promising! Definitely has better documentation than the other options I've looked at.

I see that the library itself is available in Python, but this page https://extism.org/docs/category/write-a-plug-in currently only lists Rust, JavaScript, Go, Haskell, AssemblyScript, Zig and C. Any chance Python might get added to that list as well?

Just found https://github.com/extism/extism-sqlite3 which is very relevant to my interests too!
The Story of Shor's Algorithm
This really helped me @bennyp101, Hopefully the issue is resolved now.
It's a textbook example of how owners of capital can extract economic rent from wage workers they hire to utilize that capital to produce something valuable. The whole point of any for-profit business that is not worker-owned is to "do investors a favor" with the money obtained by paying workers less than market value of the goods they produce.
If you can save $100/yr then why not but I agree all these penny pinching efforts are usually nothing but noise.

Automation and scale are key to AI image generation
TL;DR - Stable diffusion and other generative models are transforming content creation in industries such as movies, video games and marketing. However, the current manual process is inefficient and limits the value of these models. We suggest a different, automation- and scale-oriented approach.

We are a stealth-mode startup looking for early partners for our private alpha. Email in bio.
I trined a couple of queries and it works really well! Great job.
No need for additional software for that. In PowerShell, run:

> The reality is that learning to think and write will be harder because of the ubiquity of text generation AI. This may be the last generation of kids where most are good at doing it on their own.

I think the form will change, but the substance is going to be like it always has.

Those who give a damn, want to and are able to improve will be able to do it 100x by getting access to a new source of diversified ideas and view points, variations on their own, and information. And efficiently and more or less reliably delegating low-value stuff at a low marginal cost, freeing up bandwidth & increasing impact.

And the grifters who’re always looking for shortcuts and constantly try to game whatever system they are in without any desire whatsoever to learn anything or grow in anyway… will keep doing just that. And the only value they’ll be able to bring will be… access to a tool anyone (but, yes, not everyone) can access.

And that matters, because in the end many of the problems worth solving aren’t technical problems, but people problems.

Writing this, I realise I may have completely missed your point and gone way off topic here.
This F-35 decision was made back in 2021. Since then, Finland has given up independent neutrality and is joining NATO. Much to the annoyance of Russia. Finland fought two wars against the USSR in the last century. Finland may have to fight another one. They're not getting those aircraft as status symbols.

Subject: Application for Career Readiness Training Program

Dear Concern,

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to express my interest in enrolling in the Career Readiness Training Program that you are launching for students. I understand that the program is designed for students who possess a strong willingness to work hard, dedication, and a thirst for learning. I believe that I fit this criteria and would like to apply for the program.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration at Cox's Bazar International University with a major in Human Resource Management, and am eager to develop my skills further. I am especially interested in the topics that will be covered in the program such as presenting myself in the job market, developing useful soft skills and hard skills, improving my formal communication, presentation, and analysis skills and learning about useful documentation for the job market, networking and relationship building and business development. I believe that these knowledges & skills will be essential for me before entering the job market and want to make sure that I am as well prepared as possible.

I am excited about the prospect of joining the program and would be grateful for the opportunity to participate. I am confident that my enthusiasm and dedication to learning will make me an asset to the program.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
These are some great feedbacks and I will respond here in a couple of weeks.

Key Action items:
1. Provide a sneak-peek to product(UX)
2. Integrate with goodreads or at minimum allow someone to enter their book list
3. Allow creating list from users and recommend NextUp accordingly
4. Improve Book-Genie, Have some plans to train the ML model on Reddit data

Really grateful here!
Yeah, we're talking about different things. My original comment was about how the article doesn't make sense when it says that not supporting redemptions would make the premium more likely to continue. And I still think that part of the article doesn't make sense.
How to convert this
Floats are designed to be computationally and mathematically efficient approximations of the real numbers.

The exist so that trigonometry and logarithms work properly in numerical methods. (A vastly more important problem than getting '0.1' to print pretty on the screen.)

There is no such thing as a 'value' in mathematics, and fixating on 0.1 in particular is pointless.

tldr - everyone should learn the math behind this first.

As I explained above (in a later edit), this gets the arrow of causality backwards. In pg's case, all the qualities I am commenting on were completely in place before he ever invested in anything. Not only that but I admired and commented on them years before he became known for YC - because I had been turned on to his programming essays before that (thanks Joel Spolsky!) So I don't have to ask myself if I'm being a "fideist" - I know I'm not! As my sister in law used to say, you barely ever get that.

What I'm defending are qualities that I love and admire because they're admirable and which people are wrong to dismiss. Net worth, btw, is a terrible criterion to judge an individual by, even if wealthy people do bad and class dynamics are a thing. If a good and smart person becomes rich, do they instantly cease to be good or smart? Of course not.

Edit: I just noticed this part:

> wouldn’t take a minute to expend y’all as necessary casualties

On what basis can you possibly say that? Do you think this is true of everybody?
I think you’ve got it the wrong way around.

They can only make these patches because large enterprises wanted them and were willing to pay for them, and they have found a nice way to make the patches available free to you and me. If they made them free for large enterprises too, that funding would go away and we would all lose them.

Also, the extra security work on universe means there are more people who can handle the main repo even better. So even non-Pro users have benefitted.
On the other extreme, you don't want to do completely commodity work, or you'll be stuck competing on who can move the subscribe button for a smaller bowl of ramen.

The sweet spot is somewhere in between, where you have non-trivial skills others don't, and multiple companies willing to pay for them. In essence, supply and demand, like always.
> In my world, everyone counts including the people who actually live in the community today and will be affected by changes...alongside the people who do not yet live there and thus have no voice.

It's difficult to understand how this makes sense. There are ~900K people who live in San Francisco. There are (roughly) 333 million people in the US who don't live in San Francisco. So you're saying those 333 million people should all have equal voice in deciding what happens in SF? Why?
I’m a one man dev shop but in an app I’m developing I decided to implement payments with two (or more!) processors with the ability to set a weight for each. It hasn’t launched yet but the current plan is to have about 90% or so of transactions flow through Stripe with the other 10% being a “hot backup”, more or less. If anything happens, I can just flip over to the other processor. I decided to actually have the second processor take a small amount of payments so there is less of a risk of it not working seamlessly in the event of a crisis with Stripe. It’s going to cost slightly more in transaction fees but I think it’s worth it.
I've tried that before, it's okay but not to Eleven Labs' level.
I have heard about companies doing this in times of economic downturns to prevent layoffs. If that was the cause and it was communicated as such and temporary I'd be willing.

Let's assume we are talking about tech jobs and jobs that are close related, since this will be very different in many places.

I think we will see 3 major trends in the future.

1. Active Recruiting / Headhunting will become even more relevant and probably more obnoxious in the short term. This will extend to all roles across the board. Even now, there are on campus recruiting events to fill junior roles.

2. Curated job/people matching platforms. This is something I have just seen recently where they offered companies to become part of the pool to post job ads and candidates also had to submit their CV/portfolio which was then checked before it was put in a pool as well. I think this could be a way of finding people for very high-skill positions in a clearly defined niche.

3. Companies realize that they cannot fuck around with their job ads. 99% of job ads are horrible. "Java/Javascript", "C/C++/C#" and so on. Is it a remote job or is it "remote" where you have to be in the office twice a week? Companies love to complain about the lack of applicants but they do everything to get as few as possible. This goes hand in hand with employer branding. Sure, some people might not care, but especially people younger than 30 very much do.
Scientists plot the resurrection of a bird extinct since the 17th century
You hit on a major point, that many don't realize or the more misandric minded purposely overlook. The vast majority of young heterosexual men (arguably 80% or so) simply do not have the same opportunities with the opposite sex, as do most young women in the reverse. This is a matter of both biology and society.

Young heterosexual men have to also compete with older men, who may be already established in terms of socioeconomic position, maturity, knowledge about women, and focus. These attributes, of what older men can bring to the table, can be very attractive to younger women and severely reduce their availability.

Young heterosexual women are often massively focused on and only have eyes for the top 20% to 10% who hit the genetic and/or socioeconomic lottery and mostly have it all in terms of looks, style, build, height, innate charisma, popularity, and/or family wealth. Even when such woman are in the lower rankings (though may refuse to acknowledge reality) and have little chance to realistically get or hold on to such men. Which by the way, can lead to them taking their anger and frustrations out on men not in those positions that don't engage in nor have the opportunities to act in such ways.

Many women, in general, are not even looking or care little about younger men who are not providing any obvious benefits or are as popular. The further the young men are from the top, the harder their struggles with the opposite sex can be. And dramatically way more so, than their female equivalents.

This can be why such young heterosexual men (outside the top 20%) can be resorting to seemingly extreme measures that are incomprehensible to females and non heterosexuals. More so, many women have little to zero sympathy or empathy for the harsh struggles of such young men, and even to the point that such women have misplaced or unreasonable disdain and contempt of males that need to or have to make such an effort. Which can be combined with the ignorance to the realities of the opposite sex, and the arrogance of their position, as women with an easier path in such particular matters.

Many women take attention, sexual choice, and sexual opportunity for granted. It's something they can choose to indulge in (particularly as young women), almost whenever they feel like or the mood hits them. These are options that most young men do not have whatsoever. Which is why some kind of app, doing auditing, or tutoring are even seen as helpful possibilities.

"Why use many word, when few word do trick." ~Kevin Malone, The Office.

I agree with you.The point of language is to get an idea from my head into your head with as little loss-of-signal as possible. That is much more challenging than it might sound. Note: an idea might be an emotion.

If I were to write that as simply as possible, I might say: "Yes. Talk is communication. That is hard", or even more simply "Talk hard!!!"

Too much simplification is reductionist, and something is lost. Excessive verboseness is too high a noise-to-signal ratio, and something is lost. There is a balance to be had, and that balance is a moving target, depending on the complexity and importance of the idea and your audience. If I'm trying to convey deep-technical knowledge to a fellow engineer, then I'll be precise and "jargony" - it won't be "simple"; if I'm trying to show that I'm having a good time to my inlaws with whom I don't share a common verbal language, then a beaming smile may be all that's needed.
What? Most of the voices I tried sound really intense, even angry. Very strange emotional flavors for what should be quite neutral text inputs. The laughing was literally ha, ha, ha, ha. Not even remotely a genuine human laugh.

The actual sound quality of the output is impressive (clear treble, no weird artifacts between syllables, etc.), but I just don't understand the weird "edginess" of the speech.

And NOT doing it is a good idea? Like the world governing fuckheads have their heads out of their asses yet after 30 years of the IPCC being validated?

Like we keep being told that population will level out, but I've seen, what, HOLY CRAP, 4 billion people added since I was born, 3.7 --> 7.7.

Because we are totally on top of species depletion? And the world government totally is stable with China and Russia and the US and EU and North Korea and Islam-land and everyone trying to get nukes?

You know what is mind blowingly dumb? Wasting a trillion dollars a year on defense spending, in the US alone.

With China starting to get greedy over space, I think we'll see plenty of investment soon.
No current computing architecture provides primitives for dealing for rational numbers. (Which is why you need to roll your own implementation in software, so nobody bothers.)

But we have great native support for approximating real numbers instead. (Because computing is designed first and foremost to make numerical methods efficient.)
Side note: I believe it is good form to always have unit tests that test the "up" and "down" for every single migration in your app. It's not always possible but if you're strict about it you can avoid a lot of bad patterns and have a much healthier set of migrations
What is Intel doing here?

Investors already know this is deception and the market will value the company accordingly.

Intel should face the music and pay the price. Suspend the dividend entirely. (AMD last paid a dividend back in 1995!)

Growth stocks shouldn't be dividend stocks. That signals they have nowhere else to deploy the capital and are returning profits to investors. A buyback would be a better way to return cash to investors.

Intel's 5%+ dividend is insane anyway. That percentage yield on a non-REIT, non-PTP, non-cyclical (energy, etc.) business is very unhealthy and points to how anemic the stock is.

Why Meta’s Yann LeCun Is an AI GodFather and Why ChatGPT3 Is Not Revolutionary
> I'm pretty sure you can just install the Linux distro on any laptop and probably on Apple Silicon Macs soon too.

I've been using Linux on laptops for 20 years now, this is not a bet you can make. If you look at the Asahi Linux hardware compatibility list, they are nowhere near complete when it comes to support on Linux.

You also have to be careful even with Thinkpads, as support will vary between models and generations greatly.

The Dev One's upsides are the fact that it ships with full Linux support out of the box, has 2 free SODIMM slots and upgradable NVMe storage. Most Thinkpads have soldered memory, and even the ones with a free SODIMM slot also have soldered memory in the other slot. The ones that don't also have varying Linux support.

I ended up buying one myself for those reasons. I needed a laptop I can run Linux on and that I can upgrade. I don't want to fight hardware just to use Linux, either.
