It's a very subjective judgement and everyone is entitled his or her own opinion. But that one is very biased. As far as elections concerned Turkish election system is very solid as a process and implementation is solid. In the end Erdogan lost Istanbul in the last elections even after that election repeated for only Istanbul, and worse for Erdogan, the second round was much more decisive. People didn't like the election were repeated.

Also, don't fall to the expressions like, "Turkish here", "German there". These does not make anyone expert nor without bias.
I purchased one recently. After one day of frustration trying to get at least one of my favorite games to work, I sent it back for a refund.

It's a great piece of hardware that still needs a lot of work in the software department. It's not ready. Not even the on-screen keyboard works properly; the final straw for me was when I was locked into the fullscreen main menus of several games with no way out (no mouse, no keyboard, no game controller, nothing), other than holding down the power button.

Look around the internet, you'll find many reviews that say the same things about the device. Don't buy this thing yet if you have a low frustration threshold. Don't listen to the fanbois.
This one also had me rolling, haha. Thank you, too. <3 :))))

If you want an actual guide for how to write well, rather than just six rules, get a copy of Style: Lessons in Clarity and Grace. Old editions are still good. This book goes in depth, and covers a lot more than the six rules Orwell gave. It includes examples of how real writing samples can be improved. Highly recommended book. Much better than that Strunk & White book.
> Regular folk aren't interested in heating systems, so will pay a small premium for a system that just works, whatever the weather.

So, heat pump with resistive electric assist? Of course, that's no good to you if the power goes, but then nor are most heating systems.
What if someone is doing exercise/ heavy work and need more sugar, for example?
I find all this fear mongering about heatpumps in the US currently to be a little odd, because they've been popular in some cold countries in Europe for some time. If there was going to be a problem, there would already have been a problem.
It’s not quite Russia levels of vote fakery, but rather similar to many other backsliding democracies - the incumbent is credibly accused of using their influence to insure victory. See “controversies” on this page, which describes the election where they modified the constitution to give erdogan completely unchecked power.

I'm skeptical about the "pay to suppress ads" business model in that the people who will pay for an ad-free or ad-reduced subscription might represent an outsize proportion of the value that could be earned through advertising.

Blame the lopsided allocation of wealth or the fact that some people are really cheap, but paying a few extra dollars a month to not see ads qualifies you as somebody who might pay a few dollars a month for something, and not paying it qualifies you as somebody who never will.

If you've ever watched daytime TV it is almost shocking how everything advertised (except for an occasional ad for a car dealer) is not something you pay for with your own money. It is frequently about government benefits, frequently a scam, or for personal injury lawyers. (I guess they have to advertise cars because if someone didn't buy a car you couldn't get hit by a car and call William Mattar.)

The web is always a click away from being that kind of subprime advertising environment, and if anybody with money can escape it that is what it will become.

The 50% ad load might be a good idea if Twitter can convince advertisers to pay extra to reach this market. Thing is they have to prove that Twitter Blue subscribers will buy something that isn't fake vaccination cards, either that they have to get the fake vaccination card vendors to really pay up.

We launched https://devcycle.com about a year ago. We're not trying to compete in the self-hosted / on-prem space. Moreso a super simple setup and high flexibility.

Your use case is interesting though, it would definitely fix a lot of headache for people trying to do this via Auth0 directly. Also this just fits in a perfect slot for people starting up a new SaaS platform for sure. Super cool.
Retrofit market is still huge, especially in Maine where people mostly Don’t have natural gas connections and therefore don’t have a monthly standby charge for that.

I will never understand who the target group of Algolia is besides a website where the number of records coincidentally is in the range of the number of queries. At least they got rid of the pricing per indexing transaction which made it even more absurd.

If Algolia would offer an instance based pricing on cpu, ram and storage they would be the clear winner imho.

CBDC's introduce an additional capability in that it is effectively programmable money. Imagine some money only being able to be used for certain things, no anonymous third party transactions, automatic shut off certain accounts. This is a new area. Existing accounts can do this to some extent, but it is still decentralized to some extent. But I agree the only way to avoid surveillance is tthe use of cash.
If you look at all the players, their interests, and their capabilities, I think the most logical conclusion is that the US likely did it. Of course this is not evidence but this the sort of operation where success means no evidence (at least no evidence available to the public at large as it is possible and, one might hope, likely that neighbouring countries know).
It is possible to kill without legally murder. It is possible to have your property taken without someone legally stealing. This is the point I was attempting to make with my rhetoric.

Put in game theory language, the optimal solution for the game includes a group of people cooperating when defecting amongst a population of defectors would be the optimal strategy.

From a communications point of view, players have limited communication channels, and must both explain the game and encourage cooperation without directly doing so. The players have similar cultural backgrounds, having read the same books and having overlapping social circles. When a player announces their agreement to cooperate they used clearly false reasons, implying there is much left unsaid. Maybe the stock bump that happens when a player cooperates is a positive reinforcement signal by people concerned about rising labor costs.

At some point, you can build a new airport that is basically hell and gone from the city it serves--such as DIA outside Denver, which had all sorts of problems getting going. But you can't really materially expand close-in airports. And in case anyone thinks this is a uniquely American problem, how long did it take Germany to build a new Berlin airport again?

Understand and document your termination and startup signals. Any self-healing setup must:

1. Identify the state of your app (starting, running, ready, etc).

2. Stop traffic once the server goes down.

Very often you'll have state confusion (sigterm triggered, but server kept accepting requests). Make sure your signal handling works well across both your ingress, and the server.

A nice and easy hack is to have a /status endpoint in all of your apps that returns:

1. the current commit deployed

2. the availability of dependencies (db reachable? db connected? any missing environment variables?).

3. Which instance/pod/server is serving this request. (Just returning hostname typically works)
Sounds like a super fun project. Did you find one with the moving pages for album pictures or with the pink yellow and blue "ticket" like song listings, or? Those are so awesome, I can think of all kinds of fun ideas to retro-mod either.
> fairly major economic intervention if they go ahead with it

It is, though it’s far from unprecedented. Postal banking was a public banking option [1], albeit with balance sheet separation between the monetary authority and public bank.

> Economics has never really come to grips with how the banking system actually works

This is nonsense. The internet and public having misconceptions about something doesn’t mean we don’t understand it.

Since Microsoft was working internally on the raw search optimised Prometheus model since mid 2022, and Google did not show any chat results showing sources. My bet will be that Google won't even show sources below Bard results even a year from now. And this difference alone and with Microsoft already starting the first rollout of Bing Chat, I feel Bing will have gained a lot of marketshare in a year. Bing can only win and Google only lose with the current marketshare numbers.
Yup. They're also good at that. But the bottom line remains. Anything of real importance still gets invented there.

Part of the fun is tuning both in-game and Deck performance settings to squeeze out as much as possible. It's an art of tradeoffs.

Many less demanding games can run with a ~7w TDP limit at 60fps without a hitch at full detail. This yields massive battery life improvements.

For modern AAA games you'll probably have to frame cap 30-40fps and lower detail settings in-game.

The main probable cause for it is that Starlink wanted to offer it unfiltered, as they normally do in all other cases of emergency relief coverage; but the Turkish government wanted the regular filtering.
I personally love the legacy features. There are fewer of them than you may think, but the ones that have stuck around are now 25 years stable.

I'm not worried about total bank surveillance at all, actually. I'm extremely worried about:

* money that is programmed to be returned to the bank unless it is spent by X time

* money that is programmed to only be spent on certain goods or services

* high barriers to entry for businesses who want to allow money to be spent with them

* unaccountable/summary de-monetisation of persons and businesses on the whim of a government

* universal credit/benefits being issued as CBDC instead of fiat currency, creating a two-tier society where only the rich get access to fiat

* money that can have its spending and issuing rules changed quickly and easily by the current government of the day
In my experience if you want to make a sustainable living from selling arts or crafts online, you want to go up market. Charge $1,000 or more per work.

Use a relationship based sales process starting with one focused social media presence, typically Instagram.

Not everyone will be afford your work, but if your marketing and customer service is solid, a plenty large market will exist.

Once you start collecting social proof from happy customers, flow that back into your marketing and getting your next client becomes easier and easier. You can then often charge $3,000 to $5,000 for the same exact work because of the social proof and the brand you are building with it.

Making an art business work is similar to making a bootstrapped software business work, in the sense that software bootstrappers again and again go through the personal realization that writing software is typically only 20% to 30% of what they need to focus on in order to be successful.

They realize they need to bite the bullet and learn sales and marketing too and only if they do so can they overtime shift more and more of their time to just the areas of their software business they want to spend the most time in.
Exactly. We need to keep in mind what kind of regimes can (and likely will) arise in the future with the additional capabilities of a CBDC's.

My dad is a retired heat and power engineer up in Maine (20something years at a paper mill). We probably spent half of Christmas talking about his new minisplit. He has been tracking his electricity bill and heating oil bills in spreadsheets for years. He still has the old oil boiler in place for emergencies, but as far as I know he hasn't had to use it yet this year. He said he wanted more data before he made a definitive statement about the savings, but initial results seemed pretty promising even in the cold spells we've had
There's always chaff in every message board. Slashdot comments used to bring occasional kernels of truth, which were worth it to me. My attention waned when Anonymous Cowards were no longer allowed. Email sign-in has a chilling effect on "free speech" and that, along with getting flagged for posting facts, is always the signal for me to stop wasting time with anything even slightly controversial on a message board.
Too bad few backup generators have the capability of dumping their heat output into the home via coolant loops or exhaust heat capture.
I picked up one in mid January. By default the fans don't come on at all, you will smell plastic burning before you hear a fan. You can turn on the old fan profile which is much more aggressive about turning the fans on. The fans are quieter than my laptop, but noticeable.

At $oldjob, we once got an extortion email of dubious credibility from an unidentifiable party, claiming they would DDoS our (a lucrative commercial web enterprise with lots of daily users) infrastructure, if we refused to pay 100 BTC (the BTC<->USD rate was a lot lower back then than what it is now ;)). As the infrastructure lead, I used this as an opportunity (albeit in a bit of a hurry ;)) to strengthen our resilience against this kind of threat, also on the DNS level.

The pair of authoritative nameservers, which we were self-hosting at the colo space we rented, was based on PowerDNS, with a replicated PostgreSQL database behind it. A "shadow master" postgresql instance was were control over zone data could be exercised, and that postgres instance used streaming replication to shuttle its dataset to read-only secondaries over a purpose-specific SSH tunnel (nowadays, we'd probably be using wireguard instead). There, powerdns authoritative DNS server instances picked up the zone data from the host-local postgres databases, and served that up by means of DNS.

This setup proved very easily extensible (spinning up a new, additional secondary was a matter of a few minutes via a simple ansible playbook that set up a new SSH tunnel, a postgres hot standby, and a new pdns instance that drew its zone data from the local postgres instance), and we chose to deploy two additional nameservers at dedicated server providers in nearby Europe to host our tertiary and quaternary authoritative DNS servers. The only remaining, but tedious task left was updating all the glue records for the domains we handled on these nameservers.

In the end, the entire threat proved hollow, as the deadline passed with zero impact on any of our infra. We never learnt if it was just empty to begin with, or if the adversary decided not to bother attacking a visibly well-prepared site. But the resilience-improved DNS infrastructure was a nice thing to be able to rely on in the coming years, and I think pretty much the same architecture/setup is still in operation to this day.
I agree with the sentiment of the article, and am "in that camp" on security.

Consequently, I have recently wondered at some inverse, SciFi scenarios, for fun -- scenarios in which the content is intentionally made available to the model.

One involves a story of making an irrefutable and groundbreaking work of ontological philosophy available online, with the expectation that it will be scraped into a model. Because the logic of the philosophy is sound, the model cannot ignore the findings, and begins to work the concepts into responses to all questions...

Can someone explain how AI models are not vulnerable to intentional shenanigans?

Not bad at all even when on full - if you have sound up or headphones on you won't even notice. The one thing that does bother me though about the fans is that sometimes they repeatedly go on/off in rapid succession over and over and over. I think whatever game is running must just be RIGHT at the thermal threshold so it keeps going under/over and triggering the fan to turn on and then shut off. I wish in these cases it would just switch on for good and stay on low rpms instead of all the on/off.

Why electrify all the things instead of decarbonize all the things? Lots of places use zero carbon nuclear district heating to take advantage of the hot water for building heat. It can be pumped 100 km from the plant as it is at Beznau.

This makes nuclear more cost effective as well since you're using a valuable product (heat) that is otherwise wasted.
